I believe it drops from Kunark dragons, but I didn't get it to drop after a couple kills so I went ahead and just bought it on the second day of PoP.

Hasted Quarm down first try (though it didn't feel like the haste was being applied), tweaked my healing macros and everything was pretty straightforward aside from a couple dips below 40%. Still shitting my pants the entire fight though.
Oh, looked up Reptile on discord and it looks like the wiki has it listed at the wrong level (65). They may have manually added it in and changed it to give druids a boost. Probably bad news for the SK mitigation spell being in, as not much on the disco about it.

One wipe to Rallos, one wipe to Quarm, everything else in time is about the same as a VT boss in terms of difficulty and length just better loot. Quarm was a 15 minute fight because you're just perma slowed the whole time and had to use a shield cause he chunked, whole thing was a bit over 3 hours to clear.

Lol, tried the custom fight after Quarm, it hit for 3k through defensive and then spawned adds that hit for 2.5k each, not touching it this expansion.

Yes, level 56 keeps everything red con in DN. Lock your level in and grind as many AA as you can stomach before boredom sets in.

To be honest AA flies at 60 in DN too. You get an AA bonus every level up to 60 - which mind you may not technically be as much as 56 there but eh.

On my SK/BRD/WIZ I can pull the entire zone (don’t bother with literally all of it but a lot of it) and get like 18-20AA in I dunno 10 minutes, really fast legendaries.

I haven’t had much motivation to play lately though even with PoP.

Holy fucking fuck. Leveling one of my alts now from 60-65 and I want to gouge my eyes out. This EXP rate is pretty abysmal now that I'm not flagging (I take back my prior statement).

I don't want it to necessarily "fly" by, but when you pull almost the entirety of C2 in PoFire minus a few stragglers here and there, and only get like 3%? Ugh.

Meanwhile, my petcuck alt can just sit afk in UP overnight and level while I'm at work. I don't think I'll level another alt without dropping a class for mage, then swap back after leveling.

Where at in UP is best, I'm not sure which part is the "highway." Also, I was pulling ~70% of fire in 1 pull and it was at least better xp than DN, by a good margin... as long as I wasn't lagging during prime time and dying.

That reminds me, I should AoE AFK with bard in DN since I'm not doing anything else...it's not as good as petcucking AFK but it still gives you something.

They really need to buff up some zones that you can grind AA's in. DN is boring as fuck. I grinded out enough AA's to down Doz tonight. I forgot about Kelorek'Dar so I will down him tomorrow and finally unlock SOL after a lot fucking around with old world content. I still need to clear VP, and I want to clear our Ntov. I still have a ton of messing around to do.

Thanks for the tips on the sk/rng/rog. I think I'll stick with that, I don't really want to do the pet class thing, I just want a cool ranger build with lots of procs. If anyone has any junk gear to get me started, I'll gladly take it, name is McJiggles.

Went and did Time last night. P1-P4 and Bertoxx + CT in P5 were easy solo for War/Clr/Bst, but I don't see how I'll be able to solo RZ or Quarm - I might be able to do Innoruuk, but even that's a stretch.

Well, I think I found the highway in UP, but my Mag/BST/Nec didn't even last an hour last night. Way too many mobs in the undead/umbrite eastern area pathing along.

Also, not related to petcuck, bard/wiz combo nuke seems a bit ridiculous at 65. DDD is AoE criting for ~16k with 75% Velious items, plus epic (no PoP instrument bonus).

I was sadly slain by Agnarr. I tried to burn him and now when I try again the room is full of bros already. May have to start it again. :(

Maybe I’ll buy a few upgrades and try again, bc I’d like to least get stuck in an area with upgrades !

Yeah, the easternish portion of UP is a non-stop spawn fest of mobs. I have BRD in my petcuck though and the Farsight Ring (40 string resonance), so heal song goes brrrrrrrt.

DDD hitting hard as shit I don't mind, because it's about the only DPS option Bard has and it also eats a fuckton of mana. And on some fights in PoP, you're making a pretty big survivability choice if you burn up all your mana.

Switch that necro to rogue and you have one of the meta trios. Although with the dot changes being 1 sec cast, who knows? This might be a good build. But dont fear, you can always switch out classes. They give you a free class change but if need be you can always pay the $5 to change it as well. They also give you free class change every expansion too.

Even so, characters level so quickly in this game, I would not even bother. Just roll up something else if it comes down to it. I think the last character I made, my monk, pally, ench I got him 1-50 in about 6-7 hours but that was with twink gear and having classic-luclin unlocked, so I had plenty of lv zones to chose from. BTW I like the following to level.... Backburrow 1-12, Unrest 12-25, FM giants 25-32 (lots of plat), City of mist 32-50 (tons of plat)

Also dont forget to use that bazaar and back button to sell shit in your bags. It has like a 2 min cool down and it takes you right back to where you were. And always spawn your own instances, the respawning ones to level. So you have no competition, whole zone all to yourself.
