Man I wish you could block players on other worlds. The amount of absolute fucking turds you meet in abyss dungeons. It's especially infuriating when I play my bard/paladin. Can't fucking carry these dumbasses other than heal them and hope they don't just outright die for no fucking reason while the fights take like 5minutes longer than they should.

It's because they have so much gold. A bot can make over 500 gold from tutorial quest just getting to Luterra Castle, which takes about 2 hours.

While I'm the first person to say that gold is being terribly undervalued and people are going to regret how they're spending it in T3, I cannot imagine a world in which I didn't KT every opportunity. It's certainly not even worth it from a value standpoint but holy hell even skipping as much as possible I'm so fed up of doing these.

Did you just Kepner Tregoe this game? wtf man

So I just kinda figured out engravings and had no idea wtf the stones were when I was faceting, I'm sure there were some in there with perfect rolls that I missed. :( Just Dismantled that shit straight into the ether!

Is there something I'm missing? I've played all the way to Arthetine doing all the side quests, and only have 200 something.

Also Arthetine is taking the wind out of my sails. I went through some fun storylines, saved the universe etc etc, now I'm.... a newspaper delivery boy being yelled at by an editor? While waiting for the monorail 10 times? The pacing feels off. I'm at 50 now, so no exp rewards, just doing the main quest because I need it for end game lol

The welcome challenge gives you some rapport gifts. If you give a few to Thirain you can push him to level 2 and get 200g. If you do this then when you are done with Luterra Castle quests you should have like 520g.

So I'm going along and buying up all these engravings, trying to get Mayhem and Master's Tenacity on my Berserker, and then I check my stash and realize I didn't use a single engraving pouch I got from all the rewards, etc. I'm like FUCK! sucks I used up 1000g when I didn't have to.

But now I'm rocking a ton of Engraving rewards/bags/pouches, and no idea which is good. Is there a list or something so I collect the good ones? Or just start searching the auction house I suppose.

EDIT: Oh fuck, there's a lot of filters and shit in the Auction House to use. This was easy. Filter for green or blue, then sort by highest price. BOOM done.

EDIT2: FUCK , they are untradeable!! haha

I probably could have pushed my Berserker further if I had solely focused on them, but I've now got a Berserker at 456 ilvl, and Sharpshooter at 416 ilvl. I've done zero islands, but I really like cycling through the characters and doing the Chaos Dungeons and Guardian raids every day, and the 1 Abyssal Raid per week. I'll eventually dabble into the islands and get to understand that as well, but just going slow going into all this stuff. Learning a little at a time.

The engraving chests you get from quests while leveling were added on our version and those are untradeable so you do want to use them for stuff you want to use eventually(grudge, cursed doll, spirit absorption, adrenaline are all nice picks, then more specific ones like ambush, super charger, all out attack, awakening and hit master that work on some classes but not others). There's plenty more that are more situational or more class specific like the shield dmg one for gunlancer or stuff that'll be good way down the road like keen blunt and precise dagger.

The boxes you get from islands and stuff after that you can sell if you want, can make a good amount of money out of them by selling the expensive shit or keep them for later. Can make a lot of money MUCH later if you keep them for when new classes release.

For anyone who's planning on buying gold on "3rd party websites". There are a few who use auction house to deliver you the gold, which is safer/less likely to get you ban than directly mailing gold.

I'm pretty sure if they want to they'll be able to figure out you didn't put a 302 piece of gear up for 25k gold and have it sell in 10mins randomly. Whether they do anything about it or not is another subject but this isn't really that much smarter.

I originally thought I would want bard's in groups from a support perspective but, in part due to stupid Amazon decisions (50% buffs on Guardian's health pool anyone?) I absolutely cannot stand having a bard in a group due to the overall damage loss and extra time everything takes. Paladin's, on the other hand, are amazing for me. I got carried hard this week on Albion -- for those that haven't had the pleasure yet, he has a terribly painful group wipe mechanic where everyone needs to dodge properly 3x in a row and is often times referred to as the first real 'newb killer'. If one person fails, the entire group is killed. If one person is dead at that stage (for whatever reason), the entire group is killed to the same mechanic. It's painful in pugs, particularly if the damage isn't strong enough to potential limit the exposure to that mechanic (as well as the clock check mechanic). Enter heroic Paladin who made the encounter a serious joke. In short, absolutely support anyone who wants to run a Paladin right now.

Update for the guild:

We'll have two additional slots available in the main guild for anyone whose level 50 and actively progressing. I'll also be organizing some pre-made groups as a few people have mentioned that the pug experience for abyss is pretty terrible - there are multiple options available in Discord (thanks Alkorin Alkorin ) to vote on your preference for both T2 & T3 time slots. This is also open for anyone on US East as I know some of you like Cyni Cyni didn't roll Regulus but provided you're on the same data server we can still invite for premades.

Using the group finder and not matchmaking has actually been pretty successful in T2 the last 2 days, just 1 more abyss raid left in T2 from using that alone. I mean you still run into some bad groups but comparatively its faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrr less.

Exciting! Yea, the abilities seem super strong, and the constant refresh on the Shield/Heals adds up a lot over the course of the fights.

To add to this, Hatorade Hatorade and Springbok Springbok , I've noticed you guys haven't logged in for several days. If you plan on returning soon let us know, otherwise we'll have to remove you for now, so those spots can be taken by people who are active. Thanks.
