Man, reading notes. My SK/Shm/Rog got a nice boost. DoTs now 1 sec cast and any dot duration longer than 30s has been doubled. The changes make it far less of a chore keeping DoT rotations going. Add to the fact that PoP doesn’t really have MR immune mobs, so taps will carry us through.

Seems like a solid trio for PoP.

Ran pretty decent for me tonight, was pretty suprised. Was actually planning on just waiting till tomorrow thinking it would be unstable to play but ended up knocking out T1, and killing aerin'dar and bertox.
Yeah I was expecting a rough go of it (especially since it's my first real time doing PoP), but they were able to get a ton of issues resolved without the need for a restart. I managed to get everything flagged through Tier 2 except for Valor, and then I finished Tactics to cap things off with my only real stumble of the night being my first Tallon attempt when his mechanic caught me off guard.

Was going to AFK farm in DN from 61 to 62 while I slept, but its like 10 full goo+splits per 1% XP, so this isn't a very viable spot.

Got flags up to innovation tonight. Gonna put some more time in tomorrow. Was kinda hairy there in the beginning, long load times, crashes, but ended up smoothing out a few hours later. And yeah nice dot changes for sure for SK/SHM/ROG. A lot of assassinate mobs in PoP too.

Something wonky with exp too. People mentioning on the beta it went a lot quicker. People actually doing vex thal for exp, lol. I dont ever want to see that fucking place again.

I just spammed Vex Thal (respawn) and hit 65 about 10 minutes after the next closest PoP levelers hit 62. There were 2 other guys that hit 62 earlier but both of them were in VT when they got 62.

I could keep the entire zone clear before respawns, but yeah the xp is cracked. Wouldnt be surprised if it gets nerfed or PoP gets boosted because it isn't close.

There a good PoP flagging guide? Never done that shit.
While I prefer text guides, the video linked earlier is the one I have been using (start/stop zone by zone as I go) and he has been spot on with it so far. It includes the tweeks for this server that the EQprogress guide wouldn't have:

The PoV items for the dragon key are paaaaainful. I've been farming these stupid fucking Gamite frogs for almost 3 hours now.

Yeah, the frogs are dumb, get 3+ toons on it and rotate logging through them for continual spawns. The guy in the video said he messed up with the turn in npcs the first time and had to do it a second time, which took 11 respawns. I farmed it for both accounts and I think it took around 7 respawns to get 2, but I was also semi-afk doing other shit too.

Also, for Valor, it's probably best to farm all the key parts in a resapwning zone, instead of what I did on my main toon and lock into a non-respawning. Good thing I had some alts.

I finally got it after about 3 hours and 20 minutes. I was in a respawning version, but wasn't exactly hitting the respawns every 10 minutes. I've been doing shit around the house while waiting for respawns.

Still, that slowed down my T2 progress pretty significantly. Finally onto T3! Thank fucking Christ we only have to do this once. I'd never do this again with an alt.

So far most of the key shit in PoP has been all no drop. they WANT you do do this all on your own it looks like.

Is the key tradable? or is it a flag?
The key parts in Valor and Storm have been tradeable, but the final turn ins are flags or no drop, from what I remember.

I don't know how to test it fully, but on my vendor account, I skipped the Valor key turn in (still collected the items, just didn't turn them in) and had my main account open the door to the dragon, who gives you the flag. It allowed my vendor account to zone into Halls of Honor, so maybe that is good enough verification?

The keys , POI key to behemoth, POV dragon etc. aren't required. like emp key. one person needs for the raid to get in is all. Some one with the key could open door for others.

I would've easily paid 10k to skip the frogs, but none of the staff pieces were on the Baz - kept looking each time I got back to my PC too.
ahh yah i bought the key early this morning. i guess lots were up before everyone else bought them for the same reason. i probably paid close to 10k total. most were only 500-1000 but one of them, dont remember which, was a bit more.
