Personas share inventory, bank, and cheevo based flags. So if your main is plate based you are good to go through vanilla, kunark, and SOL np. All that sexy ass notrade loot with no item levels can be used on all your plate personas.

I'm guessing buffs (SoW) aren't shared, given the level reset and all.

Might be smart to Persona a Bard and get them to level 5 (or higher) with a drum for travel purposes, then switch back once you reach the zone you're running to.

You can only switch in home zones. They're useless, a second account is king.

Correct. They all have their own buffs that get stopped when you change to other class.

Not useless at all. Boxes and personas have their own uses and advantages. And you aren't limited to one or the other.

Shared flagging is a fucking godsend. Mischief is in House of Thule right now. I only had to do the zone unlocks once, and every persona has access to all xp spots. This also applies to old school shit like VT keys. One and done for personas.

Does the persona thing lead to people hoovering up any and all loot to use on their alts? How are guilds managing this?

Couldn't say on latest TLPs, but Mischief is well past the point where twink gear from vanilla through OOW means dick. If you have a 90 toon and a merc you can just go roll the raids solo if you want that stuff, or buy it off baz. As far as current stuff, you can only play 1 toon for a raid, and most guilds have you slotted as a particular class, so you aren't going to get stuff for other classes unless you have boatloads of DSP. But again, free trade server. The group t4 shit drops like water.

As in, any town zone? Too bad you can't switch anywhere, but any town zone is workable.

Still say a level 5+ Bard with a drum is a very good idea to Persona. Pre-mounts it'll help a lot with getting from town to town. Be kind of funny to have to duck into Neriak on the way to Sol A/B just to switch out of Bard though, or duck into Grobb on the way to Guk. I'd make them as neutral-factioned as possible, like an agnostic human.

Any fast camp zone. They're nice but more of a toy. They could have made them more attractive but I think the system was hard to get to this point. In the AMA they pretty much said they're done and moving on. This isn't an evolving add on but one that is in its final state.

And next year they'll have another half baked addon to try and sell the expansion.

So basically just...PoK and Nexus? Where do you persona-change in Classic-Velious?

At least in DoN+ you can do this in the Guildhall and then port to where you're going.

Sounds like they drained much the usefulness out of the concept and basically just made it a way to share flags and nodrop gear with alts on the same account.

Was over here thinking it was like FF14 and people could multi-class now.

Meh

Literally any town. The real perk is being able to Origin across the map in Classic-Kunark for raids. No more 50pp teleports.

If you were on a raid and the only Enchanter freaked out for some completely unpredictable reason could you suicide back to town, persona swap to your pocket Enchanter and get rezzed back in?

Anywhere. You can't rez a corpse if it's not the persona the person is currently on.

It started out kind of interesting in beta but they managed to suck every drop of fun and nearly every bit of utility from it, along with adding all kinds of headaches (for example, leveling a persona will blow since the modern system relies on achievement completion but that's shared now).

Alright, so

-Level 5 Bard persona with a drum for running somewhere out-of-the-way, preferably with a centralized Origin like Freeport (though even this is sounding situationally useful at best since you can just do an Origin persona)

-Level 5 Iksar persona (if not Iksar) for switching over and Origining to get to Kunark zones quicker

-Level 5 Barbarian persona (if not Barbarian) for switching over and Origining to get to Permafrost raids quicker

-Level 5 Ogre persona (etc etc etc) for Fear raids and Guk (or can do a Troll too if you're lazy and want to use the extra slot)

Bam, ghetto teleports and quick getting-around.

I don't know how people will level personae from 111-115 in Torment of Velious (can't remember if this was also the case for 116-120, and never played 121-125) because of this. Most of your EXP post-110 is from achievements, missions, collection sets. All of those will be used up when you do them once, so your personae will be left with... mob-grinding and overseer tasks? That sounds like hell. The mob grinding will be nearly useless so people will end up only logging in once a day to do the overseer, get their 10% of a level or whatever, and log out.

Well, my cool idea to dual-class Paladin and SK is losing steam by the minute.

People are going to spend 15 dollars so they can get to Vox easier. Depending on how sweaty the 25th is this may become mandatory.

So if you origin, persona swap to ogre, is your origin button back up because it's like you're a different character? And then you can persona swap back to whatever?

Being able to always have access to an origin that puts you by a nexus spire has got to be sweet for Luclin.
