Switch to portal runs when you're bored of town boards? They're decent XP. Glad to hear about the quest exp though. I'm about to be 52 and still haven't run Depths again to finish it. Hopefully soon. So that should push me to 54 or 55 depending on when I run it.

I got a super awesome purple necklace from boars, and a few gathering armor pieces. That's about it. To be honest, I destroy almost everything now though. Including blues. Ctrl + S + left click is quick salvage.

Did you go strength build then? I'm still all in on focus, but with hatchet amber gem.

Weird because it's just set to spawn that fast, it's not "repeatedly chain spawning" anything, they coded it that way.

I figured out my solution to the mana potion problem. Just run boars for a bit and you get so many god damn drops. It'll absolutely get nerfed eventually, but I've got quite a few now. I've had to spend a lot of time there leveling weapons, because I'm dying constantly trying to quest now...

Well, my build is officially worthless I think. Although it may just be that I need to start investing in amber gems. That whole super fast respawn (and close spawns) in higher level zones is becoming deadly. I just don't put out nearly enough damage. I'll see if I can find some cheap gems, but...

This is definitely nice, but around level 45 or so they start respawning so fast that by the time you clear the first few that swarmed you, well, you get to start over. It's a bit ridiculous.

Haven't we missed every single one since Biden took over?

I'm on a different server. But this is my point, you have one. That makes a single potion. That's kind of fucked.

I have a ton of dragon fish jaws, and a couple soulwyrm tongues, but zero soulsprout flowers. I'm wondering if maybe it's one of those things where you need food, trophies, and gear with chance to harvest rares to get them? In which case, again, it seems like a lot of stuff is balanced around...

Okay, that makes sense. Speaking of, yeah, that shit is way too rare. I need mana pots for healing dungeons, but I haven't seen a single T4 or T5 resource to make one yet. What the fuck? Am I basically supposed to only use T3 potions for the entirety of the game? Obviously no testing went into...

So yeah, looks super fucking cool, not even remotely worth the effort. Same required level as the normal starmetal stuff. Only made the chest piece, the rest is starmetal.

That's what I made. The 110 heavy armor that takes 10 corrupted talismans. It's...not good. I mean, it'd be good for a level 30 something, but for anyone who can actually run the depths, it's not worth the trouble. I'll screenshot it next time I log in. Unless there are dropped recipes for 40...

It was mostly that we were looking for something under 1500sqft, and nearly all of them just had bad floorplans where things like the master bath seemed super cramped, or the closet was tiny. With this one, everything looks super spacious. It's all about the layout and this was is mostly good.

Oh, I also ran the Depths and it was a catastrophic failure. I'm not sure if it's just cause one of our DPS was too low level (42, the other two were 46, tank 46, healer was me at 47; tank and one of the DPS had done it before), but we just couldn't kill the last boss at all. Think we tried...

Yeah, the reason we went with new is that the floorplans for most houses are so shit for the size we wanted. This basically nailed it all. There are a few minor things we don't like, but for the most part we love it. Although we'll see when we move in. My wife apparently didn't love our last...

Named pirate (was a quest mob) on the eastern side of Mourningwood. Also, I rescind my statement about crafted items. I made a piece of the Depth armor and it was basically a worse version of the heavy starmetal stuff. So there's jack shit for crafted armor between about 35 and 60...

Had our inspection today. Very, very minor stuff, although it's new construction so not surprising. Most of the stuff likely would've been fixed without the inspection pointing it out (like caulking around some windows, a faucet, that kind of stuff). Have our first walkthrough with the builder...

Got my first purple at level 47, and it's a doozy! Unfortunately I have 0 skill points in hammer, but man those are some good stats. Came with a diamond slotted.

I decided to start doing town boards, mostly because I want my T4 house, and I realized getting to 30 in a city is going to level me way more than I want. Like, I don't want to go from level 45 to 55 just grinding away at city rep and miss the rest of the game, but that appears the case.

Skinning seems to be the easiest to level by far. I remember someplace in Cutlass that had some demon dogs that were giving like 850 skinning XP per. I don't even pay attention to what I'm getting now, but I just happened to notice earlier that I'm suddenly at 161. It seems to be the only one...

When did you start getting purples? I still haven't seen a single one. In Mourningdale now, but was mostly in Restless before.

I get it all the time. Expeditions definitely cause it, but not always. Portals will, but I'm not sure if it's the portal itself or using excessive map markers (since people mark the next one to go to). Just playing a long time will do it. Shit, actually, today I logged back in and opened the...

Oh. I also forgot to mention that for those that didn't know, the top level stuff is time gated. I know the bars you can only make 10 of per day.

So on the whether crafting will be worth it, I have to guess yes. I mentioned my starmetal heavy armor. I know the helmet is min level 33. I'm now 45 and was looking at 46 armor on the trading post for upgrades. Despite being at a 40+ item level disadvantage, the crafted stuff still has higher...

For sure. Just taking armoring for example if you use fibers, the breakdown is like this: 0 - 50: 2,376 fibers 51 - 100: 20,480 fibers 101 - 200: 373,874 fibers Add rawhide at about 60% of those numbers for each leveling range. And that's just a single skill. I'm honestly not sure how possible...

Maintenance extended another 2 hours.

I think I'd have a hard time staying alive in anything but heavy armor. Healing pulls massive amounts of aggro. I get absolutely raped constantly by mobs hitting me, and the heavy armor is probably the only thing keeping me up. For instance in Starstone, as soon as adds pop, they instantly run...

That's one of the first YouTube rants I've watched in a long time where the person actually speaks well. I'll probably watch more of that guy. Good stuff.

I work from home and since I have to be next to my work PC all day, I'm playing New World constantly. I'm at like 80 hours. Not sure how much of that was queue and afk though, probably no more than 10 hours. And the T4 bag, you can combine the T3 leather things to make em. Needs 100 leather...

Yeah, the amount of resources to craft a key is completely out of whack. I've run probably 4-5 hours of portals, and I've probably got enough of the shards (the t1 ones) to make 4 Amrine keys. Add in the motes and whatever else, and it's a complete non-starter. Essentially any dungeon that's...

Yeah, it's become SUPER grindy post 40. I will say I made some custom starmetal armor, and it's fucking legit. Not only does it look way better than anything that's dropped for me so far, but even with a required level of 33ish, they're better than the stuff dropping at level 43. Like, the item...

Really? Unless I'm solo I've never had a problem. And I've ran with some pretty large groups. Hell, the Restless one was probably 2-30 people, and I was one of only two healers (which was kind of a hilarious shit show...I was actually the only healer for a while, and watching everyone stack on...

Seen quite a lot of 50+ people doing portal runs. To be honest, the exp is just significantly better than anything else (almost 41). Even doing level 25 ones in First Light dwarfs questing. Got into a good level 45 one in Restless and the exp bar was flying. Only had to leave because the wife...

True. I lived in the Mojave the last 8 years though, so my tolerance for dry heat is high. It depends on where at. If you're near a national park it's fucking crazy expensive. Anywhere else though and I think it's pretty reasonable.

I had a 410 weapon at level 37 that I bought on the trading post for like 50 gold. The 10 gear score difference for literally all my tokens doesn't seem worth it.

My guess is this is another overreaction AGS did when they revamped stuff between beta and now. You used to be able to do it before level 20 (I think I did it at 18 or 19). It was hard, but doable. But yeah, now it's level 24. They must have really hated everyone running around in faction gear...

I mean, it's unlikely anyone here is ruining a spot. I'm not on Vingolf with you all.

I'm partial to southern Utah. I'm going to go out on a limb and say it's the most beautiful place on earth.

So to add to the "level or harvest" discussion, I've noticed the masses finally figured out that you need absolute shit loads of low tier mats (iron, hemp, etc). So now a place like Windsward is just swarming with assholes taking all the hemp. I went over to Restless Shores and there was an...
