A Casual Group's Survival Guide to UF - Discussion started by Community Member willybyrd

My gf and I loved SoD, and accomplished everything we could as groupers. We got Void F and full tier 5 gear for her War/Bst boxed duo and my Bard/Shm. With merc help, we methodically did almost all of it on our own, except for a few events done with friends. Once we finished, we helped others and then got bored, so we leveled up some alts while waiting for UF. Two weeks into it, we can see that UF is definitely harder than SOD, but we are nonetheless making steady headway. We learned early on, after too many wipes, that we were simply not ready to tackle the named in Cooling Chambers, and even some in Brell's Rest. Even CC's yellow-con undead trash were a pain to be avoided (for now). Clearly, the war needed more AC. So, we played the boomerang MM many many times (fortunately, we enjoy it). All silver tokens went to the War. Thanks to Gilbot, she now has nearly a full set of non-visible tier 6 gear. Also, Slurid and Angram (with necro help) graciously donated tier 6 chest and legs to her must-have fund. This gear is clearly making a difference. Weapons are also a priority. Bermax handed over a nice H2H to the Bst and the War is now 10 gold tokens shy from getting Gilbot's evolving Sword of Brell's Ire. Those weapons (and more) will also help alot. With only that gear, we have managed to complete 13 tier 6 tasks/missions so far. We expect to finish Pellucid Grotto's progression mission (Seeding Frenzy) in the next day or two. Pellucid is definitely in our sweet spot, mob-wise, with blues easy and yellow-cons requiring back-up Shm heals whenever the War's siren merc gets distracted by another newly discovered split end. She is too vain... The most satisfying win so far involved capturing the soul of poor Eldinn (for Paradise Lost). For a peacenik dreamer, he sure packs one helluva kick. No matter where we engaged him, that kick ended up with us cold dead, deep in a pool of water. Finally, we wised up and pulled him halfway down the river where we could control the terrain. He gave up the ghost. Some day we will make Tasnise pay for having us do that. From time to time, we pulled some nervous friends into the expansion with us. Whether killing trash or named, or just fooling around kiting/root-rotting yellow-cons in CC with a necro, adding more good folk just seems to improve our results and our fun. We suspect some missions will simply not be doable for us without the help of other groupers (especially enc), but we will see. So far? UF is harder than SOD, but doable, at least for us. Boxing is trickier now, and we have to be more on our toes with CC and spot shammy heals, but that's ok. We might wish the cleric merc scaled up a bit better and that CC named/undead were scaled back some, but as long as we can continue to move forward, we will keep at it and enjoy getting it done. We would love to hear tips and stories from other casual groupers that are making good things happen underfoot.

 

Unkempt Druids - I had to go back - Discussion started by Community Member Bohdi11

I decided to check out the old Unkempt Druids. A quest listed and talked about years ago but never solved. After kicking it around for a couple of weeks I'm almost at the conclusion the Jale Phlintoes was just a Druid trainer for those poor druids that ruined their faction. I made ally to both the Hermit and Jale, but Jale still doesn't talk and I haven't found anything he wants. I bet Santug has a problem with the guy. I worked on Gash Flockwalker hoping for a rare head drop with no luck. Checked out a few bars and disreputable characters in North and south Qeynos which had some spark of involvement with their lively bantor but nothing has panned out. Working on other faction possibilities I went to improve the Jaggedpine ones, etc, etc, for the Druids and Rangers in SFG. AND the QRG Protected Animal (what is QRG anyway?) and we all know how hard these factions are to balance (errrm, some of those pesky rangers in SFG come to mind). I'm haven't quite given up but it's getting close. I can't imagine trying this in the Ole days when it took weeks of full time play to do what I can do in hours or minutes now. I have soooo many screen shots of faction messages I'm going to have to make a 3D chart soon. And Don't kill Hadden on a fly by for the EB earring anymore. It's bad for Krystal faction fyi. Even that SFG druid statue quest pisses her off. So, is there a quest involving Jale Phlintoes? Is he just a druid trainer?

 

need ideas for a player hosted ingame event - Discussion started by Community Member EarthSoulja

I'm planning on hosting a number of in game events for platinum prizes. Having some trouble coming up with events though. So far I have a PVP tournament and an "Amazing Race" type thing. Any other event ideas would be greatly appreciated

 

Level 80 Cleric - Discussion started by Community Member Faython

What are good ways to get decent xp at my level? I cannot find groups outside of guild, and MM's just don't really help anymore without LoTD. I really don't see myself getting level 85. Also, I'm not going to start the SoD progression until 82-3. Just want to know how you guys manage to get from 80-85 in a week.
