  • Unorganized PVP - This is ok
  • Farming - Pretty passive
  • Crafting - Also pretty passive
  • GHA - Would like to run this more with some competant people
  • Hadir Farm - Finding lvl 30-39 people for this is a bitch
  • Hasla Token Farming - As I said, I roll conviction so this fucking sucks. I probably have around 9 hours of farming to finish
  • Levelling alt classes - This just sucks ass with Auroria locked
  • Tradepack runs - I haven't done this at all, mostly because it seems incredibly dangerous solo

That's about all I've been doing. Am I missing something? Please tell me so that I can start doing whatever it is.
You can start by putting this post on the PRX forums asking about guild run events. I am not playing AA but I if you look at the events section of our website there are nightly PRX scheduled skirmish events started by Clementine. Or you can start one yourself...

PVP Heals PLD (PVE drops bondbreaker for Sunder earth for -20% dmg taken to allies)


I got more work to do on these for sure, also I'll be leveling Auramancy in place of Battle rage at 50 with labor etc (cleric)

PRX is catching some serious shit talking on the official forums. Lol.

Just wait until we actually start PvPing. The tears will flow in this game.

What's nice is that Halcyona is actually favoring the West so far.

I'm hoping PRX starts doing nightly PVP events or something soon. Hit 50 on Saturday I believe and now I'm just sort of sitting around wondering what to do.

I've farmed up 60 Hasla tokens, but I'm rolling on conviction with just about every single other person, so it takes fucking forever (that 60 respresents about 6 hours of farming).
Took me about 3.5hr to get my 150 convicts. My recommendation: Wake up at 4am EST and start a group for it.

Although since we'll probably running a strong group in that area every night it could be fun to just farm it slow style. As far as PvP goes I imagine fighting over Hasla tokens is pretty good.

Yeah, launch issues aside I'm having an absolute blast in this game. I've never given one shit about crafting but the actual physical farmland is great and I'm completely obsessed with it. I'm not even max level yet (close...48). The last game I had legit fun with prior to max level was EverQuest. Seriously.

I actually do enjoy them. I was just saying, they don't take up an appreciable amount of time. If I plant short grow time stuff I need (lavender, mushrooms), I'm basically on the hook for them every hour. If I do longer term stuff like aspen's, it's essentially plant and forget about it.

Crafting is interesting in this game, but right now it's essentially just afk grinding (take 5000 medicinal powder and make tier 1 potions). I kind of wish it was more like the EQ crafting grind, where you can't use the lowest tier crap to level. It kind of cheapens it a bit. Right now crafting is literally just throwing as many labor points as possible at the lowest tier items to skill up.

Um, holy shit. Yeah, I'm on PST so I may as well just stay up until 1am instead. That said, 3.5 hours sounds awesome considering I've already spent more than that for my 60 (although I also have around 30-40 other kinds, mostly sacrifice).
 
Is there a reason I should buy the founder's pack vs. just buying credits? I totaled up what you get from the Silver pack and it's 7840 in credit value for $50. I can get 8500 credits for the same price...

Seems like the $50 flat credit buy is the best money atm.

Back when the founders pack was availaible this game was actually pretty good. A lot of us paid $150 to get in early for that edge regardless of the rewards.

The game sings a different song now though.

They need to change jewelry crafting. Right now, you can only upgrade the earth procs. Chance of getting an Earth is 1 in 4, but you have to then proc earth for each tier or you have to start all over.

"grats on crafting that tier 4 ring...lets try tier 5! Oops, it is a wave ring! Go back to start and try again trolololol"

I thought that's how all of them were? 1 in 4 chance for a few tiers, then 1 in 7 after that. That's where the Korean grind comes from.

Not sure what quake armor is?
Nvm I'm a noob.

Read this:

?Rank 1: level 20 - Apprentice's
?Rank 2: level 24 - Craftsman's
?Rank 3: level 30 - Artificer's
?Rank 4: level 34 - Artisan's
?Rank 5: level 40 - Conqueror's
?Rank 6: level 44 - Illustrious
When you will finally upgrade your armor to level 44, the Illustrious Set will be able to be in 4 different versions:

?Desert STR and STA,
?Lake STA and INT,
?Quake STR, STA and INT,
?Sunset STR and INT,
You can't influence which item from the set you will craft, so it will take a lot of time to craft full set of Illustrious Lake Plate Armor.

I think I'm just going to forgo learning about anything related to armor crafting and just learn how to make money in a non terrible way then buy the shit off the AH. Is this place worse than it sounds?

You're right about where I am, the only thing is is that the first tier of armor/weapon crafting is a great way to recycle moonlight archeum and vocation tonics for quick labor dumps and leveling.

I'm working on the numbers right now but essentially you can recycle the 1 moonlight craft over and over til you're out of labor.

Craft > Evenstone (disenchant) > craft - repeat... better than potato leveling used to be imo (more expensive money wise but less expensive time wise) (craft 10 de 10 etc)
