I was never super impressed with legend's discord. Even that first month post launch when population was highest there would only be a handful of posts per day in the class channels. Other channels were pretty unorganized with minimal to no pins and threads from beta or older. I'd imagine...

They kind of backed themselves into a corner with PoSky. If they add any pre-Kunark loot that is better than Sky it would feel completely off on the effort-reward scale unless they make it a rare drop like Bloodmoon or put placeholders back in like Quillmane. Even then, they might have to slow...

Well they are partnering with a hospital that's literally named chop...

My question maybe wasn't clear enough. Once you unlock it by completing the PoH step once, is it unlocked forever even if you're not 46 yet on a reroll. Could your next leveling trio head to the castle in the low 40s? If they wasted all this effort just to provide a mana pres 3 item without...

I quit last month but still checking in because I'm holding out hope they make a kunark/velious that's as fun as it is in my memories. Anyways, I read that you need some planar step to unlock the new zone but what about after you've unlocked it? The worst part for me was the low 40s. Hole...

While I personally disagree with spending energy on new content for a game who's player base only wanted to steamroll OG zones, I understand making new races start at level 1. They spent the time making a new newbie zone and want people to actually play it. If they didn't, everyone would roll...

The other piece of this is shields. The worn shield (not shields in any slots) ignores the soft cap so if your shield is 65ac both sides of your ac number raise by 65 (or more) giving you the full effect. Of course the catch 22 is, once you're actually worrying about ac caps you've probably...

IDK how much it really factored in but it's one of the few new areas EQ2 added that fits in the vanilla EQ map. EQ2 fucked up the world map by splitting Antonica into a bunch of islands so many of the new EQ2 dungeons wouldn't really make sense. A castle on the outskirts of Nektulos though feels...

I'm not suggesting it's great content but here's what's kept me logging in: Leveling OP or core classes to 50 Unlocking all classes (and playing the storage game with quest drops leading into class specific gear that may or may not be bis) Testing out the meta builds (enc charm, bard ddd, this...

It's looking like, for dungeons in your level range at least, 3ish motes 1 level higher than your difficulty (major for D4) plus some additional zone loot. It appears the bonus loot is fixed and has nothing to do with zone size, number of named, or anything like that. A 10 minute befallen or...

We'll see on Sky. I'm done so it's unlikely I ever go back unless motes drop like candy. I view the "rare" and named tags as a double edged sword in Sky though. If you just cherry pick the quest drops you may not kill enough to trigger the end loot. If, for example, you need to kill both small...

From my understanding, every mob on isle 7 is flagged as "rare" and will be triple class on D4. Combined with being red you get maximum mote potential per kill. The question then becomes are you killing at the same speed as other D4s? I know the marginal gains are what power gamers are all...

This is also a great method if you're not strong enough to kill all 4 boss bees in one nonstop sequence. When the second boss spawns after killing the first, that spot becomes his spawn point and he will never path back to the front. At this point, even if you die, you can rebuff and invis back...

If you are any kind of enc or bard combo by far the easiest strat for bee is: invis to back side paci one of the little outside bees from max range - shouldn't draw agro if done correctly and/or range extension focus from through the cog pull the big middle bee which will also pull the other...

Yeah, hard to give up +10 weapons but part of this game to me is solving the gear puzzle. Things like CT gloves instantly rise to bis even if it's not for every class specifically because every class can use it. Same with the kerran neck. They may not be bis for every class or situation but...
