    I would not be surprised if they add a PVP flagged only zone relatively soon. If they find a way to prevent people from zerging with 40 man raids through all of it, it could be some of the most fun content in the game. PVP in this game absolutely shines in even numbers in the 2-5 realm, but...

    This game has probably the same amount or more content that WoW did at release. It also takes about the same amount of time and effort to hit 60 in both, but people forget that shit. There's stuff to do, every day, at 60 but it requires a group or several groups so for 80% of the players it...

    You can also get a fishing quest where you have to fish up an anchor and it ups your chance to fish an anchor by a LOT. So you just never turn the quest in, fish 1000 anchors, get 1000 ingots. But honestly hitting good iron spots (there are dozens) will net you 1400 ore in 30 minutes faster...

    As stated a few posts back, the reagent conversion items from the Faction vendor are VERY, VERY helpful, especially if you only do a few skills. Solvent and Crossweave out the ass? NOPE! It's all flux now. It's a 20:15 ratio which isn't bad, BUT it's something like 4gold per combine so it can...

    So, there are bonuses from getting certain skills up such as smelting, that give you HIGHER yield when smelting. So if you have 100+ skill (might be starting point) you start getting a bonus from it so you yield 10%+ extra mats on conversion. So 400 iron ore gives you something like 110 ingots...

    No, you can literally double it. I've gotten more than 50% increased yield so far with just green flux.

    The iron stuff is actually as bad as it seems, if you know the mechanics of the game. You can double your yield from steel ingot crafting so you can turn every 1k iron into 2k iron etc etc.., but you need good skill and town bonus and some gear etc.

    Crafting is the best gear in the game. End of list. Allowing everyone to get there in 3 days is a very shit plan, so it takes ~a month of casual play to get there if you focus one tradecraft or if you feed via guildmates with 5-10 people, you can do it in a few days. The thing is the best...

    Crafting at the high end going to be a mix of RNG and target farming and specialized sets and when it hits that good-good, people going to lose their minds. One of the thing that bothers people is there's no gear set tool. You're literally going to have multiple sets of gear, maybe even 6-12...

    Boars being an exploit is unfortunate. It's actually shit exp if you're not solo/duoing them, but it's nice weapon exp to zoom some weapons to level 10ish. The skinning was mostly worthless outside of skinning luck rare drops. All the BoEs were mostly trash, even the purples since purples...

    "Full server". HMMMMMmmmm, but what does that mean since like 70% of the servers hit "full" at some point and locked character creation? It means serious guilds who want to transfer have to try and find other serious guilds also transfering to an essentially empty server.

    Spear is very good for pvp. The CC it offers is better than probably any other weapon. Damage wise for PVE it could be better, it's like a lack luster Rapier bleeder. The talent for 10% increased damage for consecutive heavy attacks USED to stack on mobs infinitely making it awesome for...

    So the way smithing works and outfitting is that your armor will never be better than droppable/dungeon/pvp stuff UNTIL you start slotting in rare resources. There's absolutely no reason to socket voidmetal and pristine claws into level 35 armor, so no one is really doing that, but if you DID...

    They're probably going to have to put a "you and your minions" modifier on some of this stuff. People already crying all over about it. A lot of the minion builds are only high-end boss viable with aura stacking. Personally I don't give a shit, I think if you build them right and play...

    That's not what I meant. I meant NEW attachments. I'm level 15 now and unless I locked the revolver (maybe?) there have been 0 weapon or weapon attachment unlocks. Bottom line is I think if people haven't bought it yet, wait the extra day until tomorrow and play the free access. They can let...

    Fun fact: it takes 4 iron per ingot 3 iron ingots per steel (12 iron ore) 2 steel ingots per starmetal (24 iron ore) 2 starmetal ingots per orichalcum ingot (68 iron ore) Some tools take as much as ~15 ingots per craft. So you're looking at almost 1000 iron ore per item attempt. This is...

    The pyramid style crafting is really, really weird. I see people botting Starmetal ore and shit, but like, they'd be WAY more profitable botting Iron Ore unless they have enough luck to get epic/legendary resources from it. The fact you need something like 64 iron ore to every 1 starmetal is...

    Tip for leveling is to basically CLEAR OUT a zone before moving on. All sidequests/easy town boards/etc to get as much exp as possible because 40+ the quests drop off and you can be hardstuck pretty bad. Then it's truly grind time!

    Yeah, I use 30 azoth every craft I do and I've never been below 400. The outside/inside dungeon mobs shit Azoth and if you have a good tool you get the +1 azoth every once and a while from gathering. I imagine most people are feeling the Azoth hurt with the Hermit bullshit because you...

    On Mangler my group actually had great success AEing Griegs. A lot of stuff is too high for stuns so you actually just cycle AE mezzes and time big AE's (I think it's 4-5 total AE's to kill a mob). Our group was one full group with 1-3 filler people, and then an extra enchanter (2 total) and...

    They actually doubled the server # a few hours ago. East still has 0 servers without a queue, but many other regions have like a <1 minute queue to get in. They're also working on jumping the player cap from 2000 to a higher capacity. I'm thinking they full dick it and go to 4k as iirc they...

    Currently 111k playing, and 140km in queue trying to get into EU servers. What's REALLY interesting is the bumped the 1k concurrent on servers (you could see it on the pop tracker site) to 2k straight up. Wonder how many more hits of that it can take. Hopefully they could get it up to 3-4k to...

    The fact you can have spaces and shit makes it way less of an issue. Go from Ragnar to Ragnar Lothac to Ragnar Lothacson or some dumb shit. I can't even use my name in EQ because Xev is a server. Now THAT is super dumb.

    I think the launch thing is... interesting? Rather than have the entire world slam your servers at once it's staggered. Would be fine if the naming shit didn't exist, but again if you're a diva about your EXACT name, tough noogies. The single name thing makes me think they're prepping for...
