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...

Yeah, running the 2nd dungeon, I realized I need all those mana potions I've been neglecting (playing as healer). I'm actually caught up on all my tradeskills where I can make stuff well above my level though.

I swear I've posted that one before. I like it because people significantly over-estimate the probability they go broke, while ignoring how much more likely they are to end up dead first. It's a good reality check for people who could retire already that maybe they don't have as many years as...

I don't generally even look at the town board because those quests are so shit. But I will pick up 3 faction ones to knock out since they're usually kill quests where the others are.

It's not every time. I ran the first dungeon again because you need to to get the second dungeon key/quest, and didn't get the bug. Ran the second dungeon this evening and got the bug. Was done for the night anyway, but yeah, makes the game significantly more difficult.

I'd been at the cap for a while, but burned through about 700 somehow porting around today. Even with a nearly empty inventory I've been getting 90-190 azoth cost ports. Been running out of quests to do which doesn't help (level 38, cleared Cutlass, Brightwood, and Weavers completely). I'm...

I think he's trying to say your success is a product of an irrational bull market where it's hard not to make money. That the gains you're making are not sustainable. You wouldn't be the first person to make a ton of money day trading and think you can consistently make obscene amounts of...

Every single harvest spawn is static. If you find something in a spot, it's always going to spawn there.

Gathering I just went west of Windsward and ran around those fields gathering hemp. Herbs are also super fast to level on. The starting areas have good loops for herbs and no one grabs em (they give less XP than hemp, but gather super fast). Mining was harder. But you can do boulders. Your...

Weavers is awful. Tons of water in a game where water is horrendous to navigate. Coolest place so far was that area in the SE of Brightwood. Going into that cave I was like, holy shit, this game is gorgeous. Also, as far as linking items, it's because sometimes the chat switches on you. I had...

It's even worse than I thought. Like I said, level 34. The tier 2 stuff has been shit forever. I unlocked the tier 3 faction at level 33, but it requires level 40. So...what the fuck? If it had been level 35 gear it might have worked out well.

The second tier of them (regular gems). I'm still selling them, but for only like 150 gold now. Have over 50 on the market. Good chance on my server if you bought one, I made it. At almost 16k gold now. Seems like I wasn't fast enough on the next tier up (brilliant earrings). Lots on the market...

Apparently if you set your quality to "Low" it turns off AA. Then you go back in and set everything to high again. Your setting will be "Custom." When you reload the game, it apparently pulls whatever the quality setting was before you went custom to determine if AA is on. Retarded game design.

They tweaked something with it. I think they made it more expensive? I've noticed by the time I have enough tokens to buy something, it's already outclassed and/or I'm really close to the next faction tier. So I just skip it and say I'll buy the next tier. But then the same thing happens. So...

According to the Steam achievement, only 1.6% of people have hit level 30. Seems like way more than that to me.

Wow, you're not screenshotting your city storage every hour? You get what you deserve! That's a pretty pathetic response. "Proof?"

Yep, I'm looking at it when it's down to $22 again.

Not on the same server as you all (Kroclyea), but I logged off earlier since there wasn't a queue this morning. Came back and it was 670. Sounds like 2-4 hours depending on that server status page.

You've gotta wonder when they'll do something with the servers. They've got significantly more people in queues right now than actually in game. I'd say 3/4 of the servers have more than 2k people in queue, with servers capped at 2k.

Got kicked for inactivity after like 15 min. The queue to get back in seems much more brutal. Moved 7 spots in 10 minutes.
