Oh and the Ancient Cyclops's legendary drop is a sweet, sweet warrior artifact:

I think I bought the cheapest horse in my late 30's, early 40s? Then I didn't think about it again until I had more than enough to buy the fastest. Sell everything. Eventually, when you need it, you should have enough storage to hold stuff. I now have 9/10 tabs, and they are all full except...

Well, I did some light reading of the Steam threads on Ancient Kingdoms - looks like ToV was explicitly created for online groups. They say that some dragons have been beat by merc groups but it is very hard. There was also a comment on the overtuning of Morwynn, hopefully that gets fixed...

Soooooooo........I've collected 68 of these Radiant Aethers and tonight decided to find out what they are for....perhaps crafting. No, as a matter of fact, you keep them in your inventory: Edit: Also, tried Hrimsor the giant caster boss, and that fear resist stance may have some value after...

Got the giant king, but of course he dropped druid chest. The hardest part is clearing the room without aggroing everything and the boss; the fire casters do a ton of damage and getting two in a fight is even a bit of a challenge. Went to try the giant caster boss but that room with the...

I gotta say, the hardest basic gear-slot to upgrade is bracer. My warrior is still running this, my last blue equipment item: Also, as an aside, I killed Avatar of Water. Bosses with AoE require careful placement. Pulling the Avatar of Water to the hallway protected most of my mercs from...

FINALLY! The Draconium ore circle in NE Northern Wastes is actually pretty easy, decent xp from mobs (I got 1.5 veteran points doing it) and the panthers drop lots of meat for cooking (move speed food). Edit - my bind is in the city in Northern Wastes (Felarii) and typically every time I die...

Gold income seems VERY low at the beginning but will pick up. I have 8 bank slots and 230 k saved up right now. You need to make sure you have banked money to revive your mercs and repair your items when you wipe. In retrospect, you are better off to sell everything until you know you need...

This wait for the second key-holder spawn in the Vault of the Vanished is bullshit. 50% spawn chance my ass. Edit - I knew it - as soon as I complained it spawned lol.

Urzak with a dispel scroll for the Primal Fury during Enrage is easy-peasy. Stack in a Scroll of Lethargy for good measure. Tried Avatar of Water blind, realized he has a problematic AOE that needs to be countered. I farmed for a couple more tries at him later. Kragek has dropped gloves for...

Cashed in all my Adventurer Guild runes for, well, basically loot boxes. Among the random augments were a couple of interesting items with great resists. Took a small drop in hp as that artifact is more a caster item: Also this:

Ah yes, so I put my Winterforge fatecharm in my primary backpack and make my way to Captain Kragek. On the way the guards drop 2 ranger set boots. Kragek drops that pos +40 char ring and............Ranger set gloves. Welp, that's enough for me for tonight. RNGesus just laughing it up.

I am 47 VT I think? I have a Dawnstone, but haven't seen the Staff of Flowers yet. Duly noted. It's funny how the typical end game routine in a game like this is ultimately comparable across players - Fabled Lizardmen + Ssaryx, Kragek, do-able world bosses and Sunken Temple is my current...

Well I killed Pyroth (he didn't drop his quest item), Nyxarion (only issue was the fear but powered through), and tried Urzak: his Primal Fury skill is a MUST INTERRUPT during enrage. And there is enough lag that properly stun countering a skill is difficult. So I died. The Primal Fury skill...

Wow, Ancient Cyclops was surprisingly easy. I geared past him clearly. That staff has some serious gear score lol - my wizard now has an iLvl greater than me. Based on Kirun's comments, I am going to try Urzak next. Edit - thought I would run the fabled lizardmen before bed, and lucked...

Sorry for spam replies, but I need some clarity. For instance, with Overseer Garok in the orc fortress, should I be cycling through the zone clearing respawns, waiting for him to spawn, or is it the same chance as on paid reset?

I second Kirun's recommendation. I scattered in Adventurer quests occasionally just to avoid burning out on the zone.

Good to know, thanks. Managed to kill Sszaryx, he wasn't as hard as I expected. Of course he dropped his boot item, and my entire party has set boots from Winterforge. Mf'er. Clearly not an upgrade:

Got some Lizard fabled upgrades, but I am still behind the Kirun curve, around 13.4 k hps without potions or food. Only 299 constitution, what a scrub! And this helped my cleric a ton: Haven't seen the Avatar of Water item spawner yet, cleared it maybe 4 times so far? Going after...

Yeah, Balatro will grab you by your balls for a while. Have fun. Finally killed Captain Kragek, and that pos only dropped his shield and not one of the set gloves. Stingy prick. I will say that the shield was an upgrade for me though lol. VT40, full buffed with potions and food around 12.5...

Okay, in all seriousness, the rogue is worth it just for the trap disarm. Never again dungeon crawling without it! In my tank spec I am doing better now that I put every attribute point into CON, but I have not found a single upgrade since the last post. My cleric is still lower mana than...

Yeah, it seems to be exclusively gear. I did spend some points on STR at the beginning but it's been exclusively CON for a long time. Our Vet points are pretty much the same. I did the full 10 in the mana/health team heal, and I've been putting some into AC thinking maybe it would help. May...

Yeah, clearing would help, last time I died because I went one way and the healers went the other and by the time I recovered I was almost dead with no team. So there was no real STRAT to avoid that lol.

Yeah, I guess I could start running Sunken Temple. I have also run Krom Razz ad nauseum. What's the strat for that Guardian that group fears? I assume it is unresistable, and I always fail to stun interrupt. The rest of the bosses I have killed once. I suppose I could look at the compendium...

Okay, well, I tried to tank Captain Kragek again, but even at 32 veteran points I still can't survive the Enrage. Even with the defensive stance, 2 separate short invulnerable runes, and some self healing. Then I tried to get out the North Gate and the Guardian hit me for 3,000, 3,000, then...

I trauma dumped my quitting raiding in MMOs, ain't no one got time for that. Deleted lol. Looking forward to getting into this after my Ancient Kingdom obsession - can't believe I am 86 hours into that game since April 22.

Well, shit - I really enjoy killing through Winterforge but I still can't do the bosses. That being said, I am just face-tanking and not paying attention to the mechanics. Tried to kill Captain Kragek and his 25% life enrage killed me. So now I have to actually use my abilities at the proper...

I agree that in it's current form, the stuns are broken. Nothing like hitting stun, having it not interrupt and you get stunned, then the timer starts counting down. Erm, what the actual fuck, it went off but stunned too late......? I like warrior because it seems like the only form of crowd...

Well I got the Orc Messenger but, as I thought, I was too undergeared for the Overseer and he over DPS'd me in about 20 seconds. Off to farm more gear.

Surprisingly, having farmed Krom Razz for quite a while all my weapons and armor are better than what Fabled Darish drops so it's all just Primal Essence material. I may have given my ranger the fabled dagger, I can't remember. I got two other better dagger drops either in Krom Razz or from...

Well I was crawling through the giant city to get to the Northern Wastes just to check it out, and I was doing fine until I hit a Mage Giant and got dropped instantly. Resists clearly important. Also finally killed Zarothak the Tormentor in Krom Razz and missed the 75% chance to drop Planar...

I second/third the Twisted Haunt - even at 49 without an XP potion it is 10+% per full boss clear. And, as Vhars said, I had some quests in Krom Razz and have been in there for the last 3 Veteran points. Still finishing up a quest, just doing 3 boss cycle and clearing guardians. I really like...

Going to hit level 50 tonight - currently 73% in. Looking forward to hitting up some of the more challenging stuff I have been avoiding. How is the Veteran Point grind?

I am totally parachuting in (ala Deathwing, apparently lol), but this post struck a chord for me - I have to say that buying the original game was my only video game regret purchase in a decade. When I saw the price of the first expansion I couldn't believe it: lowering that bar could have...

And crowd control. Playing an enchanter would rule.

I second the Twisted Haunt rotation, although at level 48 right now it is a bit of a slog without an XP potion. The purple gear the bosses occasionally drop is great. My warrior went from 4800 to 6200 hps fully buffed with upgrades. One of them drops a 325 base damage 2H warrior sword (item...

Yeah mid 40s is a bit of a wasteland. The quests I am running include: Trying to kill Water Elementals is an occasional wipe. Trying to get a 5% drop off Frost Giants is a slow grind because they have mucho hps, and you need your head on a swivel for the stupid dragon. The Twisted Haunt...

The Z key switches the whole party from offense to defense. The wizard does, in fact, run out of mana when you are doing lots of continuous fights of mobs at or higher level than you. You don't need to break for very long, but the wizard is your bottleneck for sure. The only thing we are...

Because I am not THAT much of a masochist, I just punched in the name of the map in the compendium and it shows where it is located. There is no fucking way you could figure out any of those on your own. The rewards, at least at level 42 and 43, are chests with a few temp stat boost potions in...

Indeed. And I am pretty sure I lucked into the pack drop from Vexxna in my only kill. Currently level 40 now, doing some epic gear quest - already got my crown up to epic. Killing level 40-50 mobs pretty easy, although the giants in the snow biome have either a shit-can of HPs or high...
