1-10 wherever. Once you get 3rd class Befallen to 25-30 however much you can take, because getting the weapons to +6 or higher will tide you over until planes. CT to 30-32, basically long enough to get yourself a rubi bp, AoF is 38 and will mudrape you. Lguk to 4x, if antiundead speed plowing will take you fairly high. Sol B or Hole undeads to 50. You can do yael and dragons at 40, planes at 46. Running a solo d0 at 46 is good xp and planar armor, so there is that. Hate is also good xp for antiundead.
You wouldn't by chance have the new list of mobs that drop planar armor?

Pretty much everything drops armor. Hate and Fear are giant loot pin~atas as far as trash goes. Hate minis drop loot for specific classes and no lockouts. I would think Fear minis are similar. The minis have no lockouts. The big bosses in both have loot lockouts per week for big drops, then I think they already put in the stuff so you can kill them once per day after for 1 item. Big loot refreshes on Tuesday I think.

Yeah I saw the new boss mechanics. Not a bad compromise. It does end up being a LOT of drops per week if someone wanted to run that much.

I just had all the old drops memorized by mob and now its all wonky, lol.

I'm lvl 41 and just had a one-handed melee crit for 242. That's nuts.

I hate that with a passion. The improved spawn rates on some Emus always increased the fun. Makes clearing through dungeons way more fun, because staring at a PH after you fought your way down is just frustrating. Sitting at Shin Lord for a few levels and then moving on without ever seeing him and getting a ghoulbane. Fuck that shit.

Dad gamers unite!
I camped him the last week before open beta for four days off and on, and only saw him three times. Was crazy frustrating especially after getting used to the revamped zones.

There's a update patch coming out Tuesday that addresses some known problem like broken shaman snail spells and instances.

I saw they planned to restore the hoard and shit by way of achievements. Curious to see how that gets implemented. Not pushing too hard right now because preorder is getting wiped, but I am having fun with it. Definitely got me refining my play for next time. I didn't realize BRD pacify was a level 8 song. Definitely a game changer. I will probably spend more time in befallen come live so I can get all the drops instead of just focusing on the 2hs I like and bouncing. My first life is definitely going to be more focused on gearing up more than anything else.

Doing the same; getting a feel for classes and combos that I prefer. Its been great fun.

Druid was great early and mid, but falls off lvl 40+ (so far). Shaman is likely the better choice late game.

Starting to see the streamers talk shit about the bait and switch of loadout slots, tradeskill bank, Dragon Hoard bank, and key ring.

I have such massively high hopes to enjoy this version of EQ as my final ever play of it. But, Game Jawn & Daybreak are going to lose 90%+ of their customers if they keep this shit up.

Nope that's why they did it. Look at these thread. You're all weak willed beta cucks to scared to use the only leverage you have. Not giving them your 20$ to start with. Instead you say the line they taught you to say "it's only 20$, what are you poor"

Druids are fucking baller after 42. Chloroplast has a big endurance regen now.

I just got Chloro and it regens 10 endurance at the moment. Assuming it scales up with levels?

counter point: shamans get chloroplast like a dozen levels sooner or something?

Not that I saw, was still 10 at 50. Good to know about shaman though. May have to try that next instead of CLR.

They're wiping all of this? So you're paying a box price and sub for something that's getting wiped? That's also you testing the game for them?

I'm amazed people are defending this monetization still.

correct, the beta test is wiped before live launch. That's normal for all beta tests.

They stated it up front. Part of the $20 was access to the preorder beta from 7/1 - 7/28. That is getting wiped before live launch.

I must be completely stupid because Berzerker class is completely stripped down. No disciplines - just frenzy and triple attack at a lower level. Am I crazy? No axes no snares. Literally the only skill I have is frenzy and I’m up to 17. Sure it unlocks stances but there is no snare axe etc that I thought were big parts of the class.

The stance is crazy OP for all melee classes.

I wonder if this fixed level exp and aa relationship in EQL will be further refined. So we farm aa at end game or lvl50 zones? for example
I’m lvl 42 and have acquired 58 AA so far. You won’t need thousands, just a couple hundred.

Hate to bring it back up but THJ was free and everything worked , reallllly worked. I would load up and instance and steam roll. I would duo PoT with a buddy every morning and it worked so well. And it was all free? What’s the deal here ?
