I guess my first question should've been, are they worth saving to give to/exchange with someone?

They are good for some early money/jewelry.

Ranged.

They can be worth quite a bit. It's a random roll and you usually end up with health pots but you can get really nice jewelery out of them if lucky.

You get 1 roll per level of the gift, like 1 for the first one up to 4 for the fourth one.

It's obviously best to trade them with someone, but if you're just giving them away, I'll take 'em! My family name is Abraxis.

Just to be super clear, I dont have any to trade and you should probably look for someone to trade with before just giving them away.

Well does anyone on Edan want my letters? I've got all 4.

Hi Dandai:

I still have letters 1-4 on my alts. If you still have yours, tell me your character name and we can exchange. My character name in game is Mortto (two t's). I am on Edan.

Ok will do the same, don't be surprised if they are from a number of different character names as they are from my alts.

I have them and don't know how they work. So you just find another person with letters and trade and when the trade is done, you get random loot?

This game really falls apart for me between mid thirties and early forties. I mean it's fine after but god damn are the mobs shitty and grinding boring between there. I still want to play my plum but I just literally would rather be digging my new conduit trench out back than grinding that shitty plague victim camp or the insane dude cave.

Yeah that part of the game is the most boring and very limited. Once you hit 45+ you can hit Catfish camp and gain one level in less than an hour. I reached 50 from 45 in ~5 hours there. Once you hit 50 the game starts to be fun again with all the options you have that starts at 50+ (dailies, bosses, enchanting becomes way easier...etc).

I did a bunch of levels in that range at trolls.. hardly anybody there and pretty good mob density.

Kind of the same way. Played Overwatch when it was open, but now that it is over, I'm finding it hard to log in and my char is 36. I like the combat, but ffs I fucking -despise- the lazy "lol grind 1000000000000 mobs to level" style of artificial content inflation. It just gets tedious as fuck. Quests giving shit XP doesn't help matters.

Trolls were awesome on my slightly twinked Musa/Blader/Whatever(+11/+8 weapons only). I could usually kill them in under 3 seconds, and exp was far faster than anything else.

Trolls are good if you're a class that tends to favor single-target or limited groupings. Great exp too, but they're tough as hell to kill if your gear isn't up to it.

Last night reminded me why I enjoy playing this game overall. Wife and I went up to Helms to grind for a bit but we didn't just pick an area and put up roots. We roamed around from pack to pack. After killing off a mini-boss I noticed what looked like a cave. We explored and ended up spending an hour running around down below, where all the higher level Helms mobs were located. The increased difficulty of the mobs in general, plus the occasional tight corridor, along with the density in some areas, made for a challenging experience. Was fun as hell and will probably go back again tomorrow to finish off that last bit before I hit 52.
