I downed PD last night, was alot easier then I thought it would be. Level 60 with 1250ish AA, didn't bother with resist gear just shaman resist spells.

Will probably just finish the nadox sp augs maybe try to buy AE fennin ro armor. Besides that not awhole lot I feel I really need till velious, my spell damage is like 430 something. There are pieces with higher spell damage than what I'm using but feel the stat trade offs aren't really worth it.

What drops SP augs? I definitely need to farm them as well.

Anything in nadox can drop one rarely, if you swarm 20 to 30 mobs at a time I get an aug every 2 to 3 pulls. VP has a better one but honestly those are so rare I don't suggest going just for that.

@everyone

**Good evening Heroes!**

The season of good tidings and gift giving is upon us!

So much joy and cheer and presents galore!

Unfortunately, not everyone likes these festivities... and while you were out slaying dragons, angry bands of monsters have been sneaking into our cities and stealing presents from the locals!

As you adventure out into the world, you might come across some of these stolen presents! You may open them... or you may turn them in to one of the many Other Elvish Security Officers investigating the robberies!

While one option may be more lucrative now... We heard the Other Elvish Investigation team may be handing out rewards once all the presents are accounted for!

The players that return the MOST gifts (Top 100) will receive a special title for their efforts as well as a chance for a rare reward! *These rewards will be available on a PER ACCOUNT basis.*

We hope you have so much fun!

**Happy Holidays from The Heroes Journey!**
Unless you have a comp that can aoe swarm you won't be seeing many gifts. I went 4 hours last night and didn't see a single one. Feels bad man.

Started an iksar, screwed up the initial levels. Watched a beginner guide video. Rerolled a high elf. Have loved every second of this. A warrior with invisible, levitate and heals is just wrong.

How'd you screw up?

I haven't started yet, but really debating on it tonight.

the PD adds are what cause the aoe's... every 20%... as soon as the add spawns you cure poison then burn the adds (they can recast it)... then just just repeat for each 20% of PD... in between adds PD wont slow you, so you can take time waiting on cool downs to deal with the adds... at 20% i just cure poison (radiant cure, or pureblood spell) and burn PD instead of adds.

actually i'd wait until radiant cure was up a couple of times while just letting PD beat on me

Well I am visiting family for a week and gonna miss velious launch. Guys be sure to take notes for me on what ends up the best route, faction wise. I was thinking just going straight to tov since my dragon rep is already shit but then debating killing giants too? Idk if don't remember much about velious other than 3 factions at war

Faction didn't really matter at "end-game". At most, you're using only a few pieces of class armor anyways. Vulak, AoW, etc. pretty much drop BIS for most classes.

There's also all the halls of testing quested items from east tov/dozekar drops, which are likely all bis.

Back when Velious first released there were generally 2 paths guilds took to NToV.

1) Kill giants right off the bat, get dwarf and dragon faction and focus on Halls of Testing. Then transition to Giant faction by killing dwarves. And finally destroy the dragon faction by going into WToV and NToV.

2) Kill dwarves right off the bat to get Giant faction and focus on WToV. Then transition into NToV.

Addendum: Eventually you are going to ruin giant and dragon faction anyway when you start killing AoW and going into Sleepers. Then a guild wakes the sleeper and screws over the entire server. I'm interested to see what these devs have planned for Sleepers post-Sleeper and if it is the same BS we saw on live.

Nothing is going to happen. There's no Sleeper rampage code and the warders will continue to spawn in DZ's. Source: HJ discord.

Yeah, but all that stuff is easy to fix. You'll be bouncing back and forth a few times for turn-in items.

I fear I may have screwed up my build. I've made it to 31 and started in LGuk at the Bedroom. I've turned off xp to start AA farming, but I'm not sure I'm killing efficiently enough. I hear of people soloing Naggy and Vox and I'm struggling to kill 2 yellows at the same time. A pack 4 or 5 even cons and I'm pretty dead. Am I expecting too much too early or did i screw up somewhere?

If by build you mean classes unlikely you screwed anything up. You’ll see the speed change drastically as you get AA.

in my pally build it was slow as shit until I got 2-3 ranks of slay undead and with my non-pally builds it took a bit longer but then stuff just starts melting. It’s a sort of cascading effect
