I don't know how people are getting 100+ AA an hour. In Nadox I was getting, at most, 30 an hour, because I could only pull 1 - 2 rooms at a time. In DN I was getting around 50/h but still couldn't handle more than 1/3 of the rat tunnel at a time (not counting the "rebel" rat area). Edit: with SK/ROG/WIZ

Is there a way to get bard speed for non bards? Most I have been able to get my run speed up to was around 80.

Server buffs aren't selos, but faster than SoW. You'll far outpace most mobs.

Nadox is really only good if you can swarm kite most of the zone or have Slay Undead. If you aren't in those setups, DN or even PoH is probably better.

This is my class make-up... I'm stacking all of my AA's into Crit which I'm assuming is the play but do you care to give your top 10 AA priority list or whatever number of AA abilities are absolutely necessary? Adding a wiz to my rotation has taken me into uncharted waters in terms of class knowledge. You would think that as long as I have played this game I would know a little bit about every class but never really played a Wiz very much... lol
I’m at work and I don’t remember them by name, but definitely all the crit and crit damage ones (I think 3 are in the middle tab then there is a wiz only one in the class tab) and gift of mana (I think that’s what it is called). Denon’s has a very high mana cost so to be able to cast it consistently you need to pull huge packs so you are getting mana refunded on the kills. The greater familiar one may be good as well but I’m pretty sure that is good enough to get you into baseline AE pulling in Dulak (Denon’s is level 43 I think). You can use Wiz AEs before you reach 43 and they work decent enough, but they don’t hit as hard as maxed out Denon’s when you have amplification up and the singing AAs capped. They also can’t be cast while running like Denon’s so you have to run ahead of your pulls far enough to where you can cast before they reach you.

Adding on defensive AAs makes it safer so you can take a few more hits if you mess up pulling, but you honestly shouldn’t be getting hit that much with this method. Things like combat stability (there is another one right by it in the general tab, I think rank 8 is your sweet spot for each until later when you have mountains of AAs to cap it), mortal coil, etc. If you can get the Wiz epic it has a damage absorb that can be cast while moving that is pretty useful as well.

probably getting 100/hour because of the veteran bonus, which is 3X AA xp if the total AA on your char is less than the sum of the AAs on all of your characters. In other words, they're getting what you're getting, only they have the bonus.

I have an alt on Dragon faction that can do turn ins now if anyone needs Halls of Testing turn ins done, only thing that's good is probably the wrists. In game name is Joxing. https://wiki.project1999.com/Temple_of_Veeshan Scroll down on here to see the items and what you need, all the quest items are from Dozekar and the named drakes in wtov. If you're missing something I probably have extras, everything except Platinum Tears

Bracers are great, Deep Flame Pauldrons are great, Cloak of the Firestorm is great, the neck/wrist item is solid but Valtrons and Camiis are better. Lotta options on HoT gear.

I didn't even see 50 gifts drop so I'm glad I didn't bother turning any of them in. I'll take my "the Naughty" title boobie prize and call it a day.



**Good evening Heroes!**

*The counts are in!*

How heartwarming that so many of you chose to be nice and return the stolen gifts! Yet so many more chose to be naughty and open them...

And yet, some heroes... some heroes worship different gods, and instead of opening or returning gifts... they... *destroyed* them.

Your decisions have been made, and here are the rewards.

**For heroes that turned in presents:**

* Everyone who helped a child receive their gift will receive the title 'the Nice' and 5 additional Presents
* Everyone who returned 50 or more gifts will receive the title 'the Winter Hero' and a Platter of Endless Cookies
* The top 100 returners will receive a Celestial Skystrider mount, with the top 50 receiving an enchanted version, and the top 10 receiving a legendary version.

**For heroes that opened presents:**

* All of you dastardly, selfish adventurers will receive the title 'the Naughty'

**For heroes that... destroyed presents:**

* All of you dastardly, selfish adventurers will receive the title 'the Naughty'
* If you destroyed 50 or more, you will be known as 'the Grinch'
* The ultimate 'champion' in this bizaare decision will forever be 'the Destroyer'

*The rewards, other than the mounts, are cumulative, so if you turned in over 50 presents AND made the top 100, you will receive the titles "the Nice", and "the Winter Hero", as well as 5 presents to open, a Platter of Endless Cookies, and a Pegasus Mount!*

Thank you all for participating!

Have a wonderful rest of your week!

i'm not familiar with all aoe classes but nadox and DN 1 pull clears are pretty easy with BL's bloodlust and/or War's rorz for proc based builds with aoe weapons

Anything that has a riposte disc (or two!) can also do large pulls like that. Swarm is "easier", but I'll usually gather a massive clump, pop destructive force and whirlwind from Monk, and watch shit fall over. Then I afk for 10 mins and do it again with Reckless disc from Zerker.

Get to 33-35, take at least one point in Headshot AA, get yourself a Sarnak Warbow or Bow of the Destroyer? (I think that's the right name) Basically get a decent fast delay bow, whatever quiver you can afford, and 2 or more of the best arrow you can afford, and do Dulak harbor. Good money from vendored gem drops, some loot off a few named that will be in the respawning instance that you can turn in to start stacking up Tribute, and better AA leveling speed than LGuk by a mile.

Edit: I run this exact same trio as my main atm and it is quite good. I've been farming Dain for head turn ins until I get all the one's I need for my army of alts. So far I've mostly focused on any Archery AA, SK lifetap proc and the AA that boost the damage, and all the cool down buffs from BST and RNG. I just started pumping my pet AA's and feel like I should have done them sooner I'm already noticing such a big difference and I'm not that far into them. I'd also recommend going at least 9 into both Combat Agility and Combat Stability for survivability, I'm 18 in on both, and can survive way more shit than I ever expected.

Ok bards and wizards doing AOE swarm kiting i get it, also duh proc builds just nuking everything down in 10s, durrr. but everyone in this thread posting "yeah just use a 30-40min CD disc!" like that is viable for grinding AA should be ashamed of yourself. The zone has a 10min respawn rate if you are killing the whole zone but only every 40 minutes waiting on a disc CD you are doing it worse than me killing the same 1/3 of the zone every 10min.


Right now i've got no AOE so I am single target killing everything so i'm not able to pull an entire zone anywhere, everything I pull I have to tank it all. That's what I was talking about, how are people tanking the entire zone worth of mobs. Answer is obvious and i'm embarrassed that I didn't even think about ppl aoe swarm kiting and you know, not actually getting hit. duh.

I moved from Nadox to DN at 53 and was making roughly 150 AA an hour but that was at 90% AA exp, over 1100 AA now so I actually dropped it to 50/50 so I can actually hit 60 sometime soon and quickly gained several levels up to 58 now, should hit 60 tomorrow and start trying bosses on this new character.

Can someone please confirm for me that their ripostes are working?

I have 50 SK/SHM/ROG at 155 Riposte, 6/6 Double Riposte and I NEVER see the message about a mob missing me and me riposting them.

Can anyone tell me the following: do you see riposte messages in your log and if so, what do I have switched off that I'm not seeing them? It's so frustrating.

Get knaves return strike or whatever that lets you backstab on riposte and see if you see backstab messages. Mine works for sure.

I can confirm riposte working, when I was leveling my Paladin I would randomly delete a mob while pulling when Slay Undead would trigger off a riposte.

In Nadox you can be making 5-15k a night selling jewelcrafting gems(DN gem drops are very infrequent and really only have value if you get Flawed Sea Sapphires), make comparable AA exp to DN, and be in a place financially where you can start affording gear upgrades. Or you keep the AUGS instead of selling them to not have to break the bank shelling out for AUGs later, because you're getting them as drops.

Nadox is just better as a new player. It's not quite the AA exp that DN is, sure, but it's not so drastically different that Nadox isn't a better option when you still need cash and/or AUGs. It's not like you're going to Nadox getting 40 AA/hour and then DN is 180 AA/hour. It's more like 130 vs. 180, but Nadox is giving you better supplemental income on top of solid AA exp.

Now, if you're sitting at 5000 veterancy AA bonus and just need to level your alt ASAP? Sure, park at 55 and hit DN.
Either you believe I’m being contrary on purpose or you are being contrary on purpose. It doesn’t matter where you level in the end as long as you are having enough fun to not burnout before hitting the “I am a god solo’ing raid targets” stage. There are several good options depending on ones class build. Your spot seems to be focused on augs for the future. My spot allows you to try raid targets between grinds. Having options is a good thing.

I’ve tried everything in the filters but have never seen a riposte message. Hard to fucking to tell. Weird.
