Wanted to share something I stumbled upon today, in that your character benefits from the Focus Effect and/or Effect: Spell "affinity" of the item in your progression slot. So if you have something like Nightcaller Leggings/Slippers of Dark Whispers in the slot, you get the 30% haste on beneficial spells. Or if you have Gloves of the Crimson Sigil in the slot, then the Call of Fire buff doesn't tick down like it would if you were a non-Ranger only clicking the item from a bag.

Obviously you can't store items in the slot permanently, but good for those times when you don't want to gimp your gear down just to be able to take advantage of a focus effect.
That's interesting. I notice your sheet ac also increases with the item in the progression slot, but if you check mystats or whatever it is not reflecting. That's a really good tip.

Did they say they were going to reset the free class change charge when PoP rolls around? I might need to also switch my RNG/BRD/CLR (that I didn't much care for) over to the PAL/BRD/ENC tank build too, just in case I feel the urge to try to farm PoT if it's going to be that hard.

Does anyone know if PoT bosses are immune or highly resistant to magic, because maybe SK/Rog/RNG would be just as good?

Regarding gear, doesn't the 5 level increase mean all previous gear is going to be mostly obsolete outside of niche cases like clickables? It's been so long since I played, and I was mostly a solo or single group player, living vicariously through friends that were bigtime raiders, that I forgot how gearing works.
Yes they said every expansion gets free AA reset and class change. He also said to wait and let the new expansion brew for a while before you change thigns up. Because new metas will form with new spells and stuff from lv 60-65.

Waiting for full class change is probably a good idea. Will refund AA then drop the CLR for free now, then wait a week or two after the xpac drops with RNG/BRD to decide final line up. By then we should know what PoT is all about.

I'm fine with a pinnacle boss or two needing to be duo'd or only doable by very specific builds, but if most of PoTime requires that shit so they can justify their work on the whole "dungeon finder" thing? That's a no from me dawg.

Yo, one of you mentioned that they added bixies to plane of hate or some zone?
There are a bunch around the forest where you zone in in Plane of Mischief. Can usually kill all the ones in Open World -> Respawning -> Non-Respawning and get about 40 bixie parts in 10 mins.

Yea all previous expansion gear is replaced in elemental planes, and then again in plane of time.

Maybe, seru earring and vex thal neck will last till time at least. Other than that, I don't see anything lasting past elemental gear.

Not from what I saw when that streamer was going through shit, sidegrades at most. Yeah, vulak and VT gear is THAT good.

Was he comparing the lego vs lego quality or normal vs normal? That would make a huge difference in what it looks like, probably.

Yes, he had some site open with all the drops from PoP bosses then comparing them with lego versions in our THJ database. Like I said MOST, not all, of your shit will not be replaced until time.

On one hand that will be a bit disappointing, on the other, not needing to grind out XP on a full set of items is a positive.

Yea, I mean i guess with legendary there is no telling. In OG EQ there was no comparison between say elemental armor and previous expansions gear. HP/AC was better, stats were better, better focus effects etc.

Shit take for instance elemental rogue bp, it has like 20 backstab damage (the normal version) on it. To get that now you need what like a 200k aug ?

This is SK BP, note this isn't even a time drop its from elemental plane bosses.

it's technically a time drop, bp molds only drop in p4? time and quarm or only quarm.

It's crazy how live this server is, even a week before pop. I just threw up a trader with a bunch of VT stuff and sold 7 things to 7 people in under 5 minutes. Some of it was BIS stuff but other things were just sort of junky whatever things. I think this it the most active bazaar scene I've ever seen.

May also have something to do with there not being a ton of duped plat destroying the economy, things are within reach of people who just farm plat for a few hours.

Oh you might be right been awhile, the time flag guys drop the legs then I guess ?
Yea, ele gods only drop leg molds. Speaking of which, haven't really played since week 1 of luclin, should probably come back and get tradeskills going so I won't need to pay out the ass for ele mats.

Your memory wasn't that bad, Ele Gods do drop BPs just not the Elemental/Time mold BPs I think. So you get stuff like "Vest of Phoenix Feathers" or "Immaculate Vest of the Fire Tyrant"
