I finally dropped enchanting and picked up herbs. 375 baby!

Why would you drop enchanting for herbs? What was your other profession?

[Artha]

Enchanting sucks since they nerfed it and you have to have skill to DE stuff.

Well that's sorta my point, if you've already taken the time/materials to get enchanting pretty high up, why throw it away for something like herbalism?

[Skeeter]

you can sell the herbs for decent scrilla.

[Drisco]

Where can you sell the herbs and what makes the most?

[Trouble]

Where can you sell the herbs and what makes the most?

Well I think this is sorta a Warcraft topic in a GS category. I dunno if there is a place (other than the pawn) to sell herbs in GS. In WoW you sell em on the AH. Last time I looked (a few weeks ago), Terocone and Nightmare Vine were good sellers.

[Parkbandit]

I already have a toon with 300 enchanting.. didn't need another. That toon I switched to herbs had only 90ish in enchanting anyway. Now I have:

Engineer
Tailor
Herb
Skinner
Miner

I will probably switch one of my 300 herb gatherer that I don't really play much anymore for alchemy.. since I have a toon named Herblocker with a bank and bags full of different herbs.

[Soulpieced]

I guess I can share a few.

I just dont care about CS that much. 500 is good enough for me, for quite a while. I want to 1x PT and 1.5x Perception, then 1x CM, THEN 3x Spells.

[Danical]

Nice, man. Free Exp. I will eventually take it up.

I didn't really get that much exp since I went straight the whole time. I just wanted to master for the +5.

[Danical]

I just dont care about CS that much. 500 is good enough for me, for quite a while. I want to 1x PT and 1.5x Perception, then 1x CM, THEN 3x Spells.

Assuming you have zero CM, 25 PT and converting PTPs, those two alone will take 2856667 exp.

Each rank of perception beyond 1x will cost you 10k exp.

You're in for the long haul; you'll need roughly 3m exp.

Edit to Add: You'll need 3626667 exp to finish off 3x spells. :(

I laugh at sorcerers who have a lower CS than I do.

I was thinking that. I quit at 8.8m exp and I'd been capped for probably 8 months.

Pancakes.

I think it's pretty clear you have far more exp than me and the only reason I have more CS is because of racial differences.

So . . . You earned it.

I plan to do 1x PT in the near future, but my next goal is ranks in disarm. Hopefully it wont take me too long to throw up some Yaay Me posts here pretty soon.

Right now, my goal is to get that last point of CS to bump me up to 500, I am hoping this next spell rank I gain will do it.

Your negativity makes people cry. :(

( Besides, pre-cap was 640/120 planned, I went for 650/130 instead )

[Fallen]

Your negativity makes people cry. >>

Oh yeah!? Well screw you, Quest Whore! How's that for negativity?!


Not worth it for walls? I guess mana is an issue. Can you 1x or 2x spells? Spell ranks don't help anything in the ranger circle, and you don't care about the benifts from 102/120?

[Stunseed]

Mana's absolutely NOT the issue. I don't use alot of it while hunting, truth be told, which is why I decided to get 650. Rangers CAN 2x in spells, but I don't see a whole lot of benefit to me when I can use those TP's for Summon Lore and CM and PF.

Further training in Ranger gives phantom ranks of dodge from 618, and CS. MnS would give me 102/120 bonus, but I guess I would find more benefit/bonus from redux and a higher offense. Rangers are all about weakening an opponent ( 607/610/612/615 ), whereas I perfer to be a setup for an ambusher or a mage, but it seems alot of the end-game Rangers simply lack the true strength to topple creatures solo. I plan to make it a different route, which is why Stun's considered a mutant on the officials.

[Danical]

. . . but it seems alot of the end-game Rangers simply lack the true strength to topple creatures solo.

I dunno, Reggy, Sepher and Arshwikk(?) (huge sample size, I know) all seem to do very well. Maybe this has something to do with their post cap exp but I really can't be certain.

At any rate, best of luck.

[Stunseed]

Sepher prolly has the best scope of the issues I deal with, Regyy is TWC and Arshwikk's a ranged. I think more of the issue is trying to solo hunt a place made for group fighting ( bowels ), because in EN I don't really have any of those problems. One of these days I'll head into OTF.

[Khariz]

Eww, I hate group fighting the bowels, no matter how dangerous soloing is. I find soloing rewarding. Then again, I'm the V'tullian oddball who loves the scent of his own blood spilled all overhimself when getting his ass handed to him by Elders and Jarls.

[Stunseed]

I perfer hunting solo, or with Jolena and/or Keyvon. It's pretty rare for me to get into a group unless I'm too old for the area just to give a hand.

[GuildRat]

In the skill of fletching, you are a master.

Working on finishing crafting and forging now...20 ranks or less of each if I recollect correctly.

[Fallen]

Nice, Guildrat.

[Fallen]

Finally finished 2nd rank of disarm. 12 ranks of CM done. Onto PT.

Stopped there because it will get the endrolls low enough where it wont be more than a few seconds of RT, and that I realize that Ithzir dont like my Knuckle-blade, no matter how many enchants or how enhancive it is.

[Asha]

Doesn't progression that slow make you yawn?

[Fallen]

Spells did. It was ridiculous to get 64 PTPs and sometimes see NO CS gain. That blew. CM went faster, but was still pretty crappy.

PT is only 7500 exp a pop, sometimes less. It doesn't have the gains of CM does, though, but at 1x I am hearing Call Wind does far, far less RT and has been stated by GMs to factor into many Maneuver attacks. Plus, it will be nice to not bleed out if I am ever stupid enough to go AFK with a rank 2 wound.

[Jenisi]

When they changed the cap and experience per level and whatnot, did they ever mention extending the cap? Or is the current cap permanent, I can't recall.

[Fallen]

I cannot honestly remember that. I very much doubt they are planning on raising the cap, persay, but I think it isn't TOO outside the realm of possibility that they would add extra things for capped people to train in/do. Obviously, development for capped players has not been halted, with the addition of the Ruined Temple, and the anticipated (by some) release of the 130 hunting ground. I am going to try to push a couple ideas down their throats on the officials and see if I cannot garner some sort of response.

[Kitsun]

Mage finally got his 202 EMC ranks.

I wanted to go show it off and realized there's no direct fricking way to do so. I'm going to have to live with knowing my Temporal Reversion lets me slide away from 25% of all hits.

[Asha]

Ahhh such a steal from sorcerous maneuver protection. Well.. the one that obviously never happened with 704.
On another note you'd honestly think they'd start to concentrate on making the end game more worthwhile. Raise the cap. Everyone eventually gets there and once they have the game becomes INFINATELY boring.
To me anyway.

[Kitsun]

If it were up to a majority wizard vote, you'd probably get your spell back, Ash. Seems like most people don't recognize or possibly care about a clean reduction in virtually any kind of combat related death.

I'm fine with the cap where it is. I realized just a few days ago that around half of my total exp earned has been gained inside OTF.

[Fallen]

You have to play for something other than the hunt, Ash. Was Shimmerain really involved in anything? Any PRO or CHE or RP group? If you dont have SOMETHING that insterests you, what is the point of having all that power?

P.S.

Look for Phase to be a Mass Blur clone in the form of its defensive usefullness. It will likely be a straight +Dodge spell once the changes to Maneuvers goes through.

[Celephais]

and they better buff the fuck out of blur...

[Fallen]

Doubtful.

[Asha]

Only reason I capped my character was to be as untouchable as I could be to all the shits in game who stopped me RPing a nasty fuck.
Being involved in any special groups wouldn't have made my game more interesting to me, since the time I realised I needed to be hard as nails Ive been addicted to hunting.
To me, Evarin, Post cap is painfully monotonous.

PS
And your IM just now made me miss 30 seconds of House you fuck.

Wouldn't you rather have 1x EMC and have 58 CM ranks instead of 2x EMC?

You'd be losing 5% but gain a substantial amount of CMan and Maneuver protection. You'd also be 2 ranks shy of being able to have rank 5 disarm if you're a staff user. Hell, I'd drop EMC down to 40 ranks, lose 8% total from 540, and pick up 75 CM ranks.

[Celephais]

Recharging, Leech recovery/drain rate, mana pulse absorbtion... and if he's a staff user some minimal DS gains.

[Danical]

Recharging, Leech recovery/drain rate, mana pulse absorbtion... and if he's a staff user some minimal DS gains.

Oh, I know, but I'd still take the 75 CM ranks.

A wizard with haste on, 75 CM, and 540 at 17% wouldn't have much of a problem with maneuvers which seems to be the biggest problem pures have.

[Celephais]

Point conceded.

[Celephais]

Out of curiosity, if you were a brawler would it be worth not holding a weapon at all so they don't even bother attempting to disarm you? (given no CM ranks). Or would the few DS lost from not having a 4x brawler not be worth it because they'd just do some other manuever if you didn't have a weapon in hand.

[Asha]

Feras Brawlers FTW!

Plus, I remember a time when they thought a bow couldn't be disarmed becouse it was in the left hand XANDALF!

[Asha]

So yeah.. if you're a brawler in OTF and you're disarmed the only prob will be RT. Not DS loss.

[Celephais]

What I mean is if you are a brawler wouldn't you be better off walking around empty handed so that you don't even get the disarm RT?

[Asha]

No you'd be better off with the flares from feras and being a decent brawler having shit loads of disarm so scouts and jans wouldn't touch you.

[Danical]

Yes, unless your weapon has an enhancive you'd like to put to use.

I would go brawling/shield if I were a pure; fuck runestaves.

EDIT: If you can sink the points for Disarm, there isn't much reason not to have a weapon out.

[Celephais]

No you'd be better off with the flares from feras and being a decent brawler having shit loads of disarm so scouts and jans wouldn't touch you.

Sorry I was refering to a brawling pure... as a wizard who doesn't have CM ranks, but is a brawl/shield training plan, would I be better off not having a weapon out so that I just bypass it entirely?

Edit: Vulva got it... yeah okay as long as it would have just been a plain 4xish weapon that was purely for defensive reasons... go empty handed.

[Asha]

Yes, unless your weapon has an enhancive you'd like to put to use.

I would go brawling/shield if I were a pure; fuck runestaves.

EDIT: If you can sink the points for Disarm, there isn't much reason not to have a weapon out.
Precisely. But remember OTF and any higher hunting area makes having a decent weapon a risk.
I remember having something I'd worked my entire career for and not daring to use it there.
I hate that place.

Brawling ftw

[Fallen]

Out of curiosity, if you were a brawler would it be worth not holding a weapon at all so they don't even bother attempting to disarm you? (given no CM ranks). Or would the few DS lost from not having a 4x brawler not be worth it because they'd just do some other manuever if you didn't have a weapon in hand.

+1 Spirit Recovery weapon

[Kitsun]

You'd be losing 5% but gain a substantial amount of CMan and Maneuver protection. You'd also be 2 ranks shy of being able to have rank 5 disarm if you're a staff user. Hell, I'd drop EMC down to 40 ranks, lose 8% total from 540, and pick up 75 CM ranks.

I'll eventually get to CMs. I hunt open handed so disarm isn't an issue right now. Plus EMC gives me more mana back per pulse, gives me reason to bitch when I blow up an enchantment, helps familiar gate, recharging, etc.

Currently going up 1x PT for the anti-call wind and whatever else it'll help with.

[Fallen]

YOU STOLE MY IDEA!!!!!!!11

(I stole it from Iaz.)

[Sylvan Dreams]

Two goals here:

Brawling...........................| 150 50

Experience: 10002335

[GS4Khistian]

Finally finished enchanting my armor to 7x.

You gesture at some ora-banded kiramon shell scalemail.
The underlying patterns of essence within the kiramon shell scalemail indicate that it has been enchanted, and you notice your own enchanter's mark on it. You recognize the vibrant violet aura surrounding it as indicating an exceptional level of enchantment.
Cast Roundtime 3 Seconds.



A triton combatant rushes forward at you with his silvery blue trident and attempts a charge!
[Roll result: 170 (open d100: 85)]
A triton combatant lunges at you with a terrific charge and you lose your footing.
Some ora-banded kiramon shell scalemail partially deflects the onslaught of the puncture attack.
... 15 points of damage!
Loud *crack* as your sternum breaks!
Roundtime: 19 sec.

Only a minor! Yay.

[Fallen]

Nice. I have a set of that myself with the vulnerability removed.

[GS4Khistian]

Same deal with mine. So far it seems to be working great. Any idea if crit padding on top of the resistance would really be worth the silver?

[Fallen]

I think so, as the protection stacks. Also, that set CAN take a set of Nature Resistance.

A 7x HCP set of that armor with 70+% Either Fire/Nature temp resisted is about as nice as you get outside of old auction armor. The only reason I dropped it as a priority as I got a set with MCP, and that trumps the other set, if just barely.


Edited to add: Expect a surcharge for that permanent protection to get it padded. I think it is an extra 1k PPs. The Temp padding DOESN'T add any extra charges through PPs, though. So, I would have that done before having it padded. In my mind, Regyy is the only way to go.

[Fallen]

Physical Fitness...................| 201 101 >>>

Done. Call wind results are mixed, not sure on maneuvers because of armor's level of padding.

Next up is 5 more spell ranks of Minor spiritual.

::grin::

[Kitsun]

Not really a goal as much as it is a lack of goal: Physical TPs: 2436

I'm still undecided where to throw my cleric's points. I could go for Spell Aiming and pretend I'm Spider-man for a while.

[GS4Khistian]

Says the pure that needs a bow to hunt, or did you give that up yet?

::grin::

I never really needed the bow to hunt, at the time it just complimented my hunting style and a bow could not be disarmed.

Since leaving OTF I switched to sword and shield because ranged kind of blows in the temple.

[Danical]

ranged kind of blows in the temple.

LIES!!!!

Though, to be fair, you had probably 141 (2x ranged [101], 1x ambush [15], 1007 [25]) less AS than me.

And I had permablessed bolts.

And I had +30 kneeling bonus.

Alas, no more. :( :( :(

Was there actually a time bows couldn't be disarmed?

And I have heard ranged is easier in the temple if only because less creatures use shields there.

What exactly did you encounter that made ranged less effective in the temple?

[GuildRat]

Was there actually a time bows couldn't be disarmed?

And I have heard ranged is easier in the temple if only because less creatures use shields there.

What exactly did you encounter that made ranged less effective in the temple?

Long long time ago...maybe 18 months to 2 years ago...bows, being a left hand weapon, couldn't be disarmed in OTF. That changed and the ranged people started having to pick up ranks in disarm or risk higher chances of losing their uber-bows.

[Asha]

Glad someone cleared that up. It's an age old lie that bows can't be disarmed.
Had many janissary's knock them from me before.

Spell Lists
Minor Spirit.......................| 50

Torn on what to do next, actually.

[Danical]

I'm sitting on 333 PTPs and I'm not sure what to next either.

Options:
2x Trading @ 808 PTPs
2x PT @ 1010 PTPs
1x dodge @ 1818 PTPs
2x CM @ 3232 PTPs

I'm thinking about just dumping them into Trading until I actually figure out a plan.

[Fallen]

PT, Trading, then CM. You've never mentioned DS being an issue, so Dodge isn't worth it IMO.

[Stretch]

2x trading = 25% more from the gemshop. Ding.

[Kitsun]

Wizard finally finishing off swimming!


Swimming...........................| 201 101

[Fallen]

Nice. Temple hunting I am guessing. Why not just use 207 and 112 to help against those drown attacks?

[Danical]

Probably the same reason I went to 101: Self-sufficiency.

[Kitsun]

Actually I've never even been to the Teras temple. It was just next on the list.

I'm going to do climbing now before moving onto the final 92 ranks of Air Lore since the lores are going to take for-fricking-ever.

[Fallen]

101 ranks of ..climbing? I don't get it.

[Danical]

Thread in the rift?

That's all I got.

[Kitsun]

Believe it or not, its been a long term goal for roleplay I've had in the back of my mind thats taken a backseat to mechanics since forever. Nalfein should be able to scale walls with everything but their pinky toes tied up for thief work. Climb checks virtually never come up(where 40 ranks wouldn't be sufficient) but I distinctly being really sad at falling down some cliff in the Wavedancer Ashrim quest. Never again.

After dumping all my AS I'll have about 700 PTPs to use. I'm thinking about dumping my perception since I don't use 416 anymore; I've found the locksmith is far my mana efficient, faster, and cheaper with my citizenship and 192 trading. I can make quite a bit more without spending hundreds of mana trying to open my own Nelemar boxes.

So, that being said, what should I train in next?

I'm thinking about 2x FA, 1x Survival to get more money and bounty points from skins.

Or, for the same costs as 2x FA, 1x Survival I could get 1x dodge or 1x Air Lore and some spare PTPs.

Additionally, by the time I'm actually done migrating AS I'll have probably an extra 300 PTPs to play around with.

WHAT YA ALL THINK?

[Kitsun]

Thats a crazy ass training plan, Vulva.

If you've got no problem with DS and you're not swinging sonics then there isn't much of a point to dodge and air lore.

...to get 12 mill exp?

[Danical]

Exp, in and of itself, isn't a goal. It's what you do with it.

At least, that's how I see it. I liken it to money.

[Fallen]

It is my thread, bitch, and I say it is a goal. Suck a fat one!

Most people I know who are post cap measure their character's age by how many millions of exp they have obtained. The top five people don't go by how many ranks of summoning lore they have, they go by EXP. Every million of EXP you make is your "level". Atleast that is how I always saw it.

[Danical]

Touche.

I guess it's like some people that say they are two times capped.

Good Job, Evarin!

[Danical]

Well done. You'll catch and pass me in exp soon.

[Celephais]

I actually envision levels post cap as per 60 P/MTP after cap (because 60 is the most PTP or MTP any character can get per level)... each level post cap is 150,000 exp...

I know I'm a bit late to that party...

[Danical]

How much exp does it take to cap now? Something like 7.5m?

I think I left with 14.2m.

No one really counts like that though. Since you can't keep training in skills like pre-cap, all of the skills you double or triple up in cost so much more making a straight line comparison incomprehensible at the very least.

[Kitsun]

I think I left with 14.2m.

Yeah, 7.5 and some change.

My mage and cleric are a bit over 13 million.

[Danical]

You could think of it in terms of GSIII levels.

7.5m was lvl 160. +1 lvl/50k exp.

So I am roughly 294.

Admittedly, it's retarded to think in those terms.

[Celephais]

No one really counts like that though. Since you can't keep training in skills like pre-cap, all of the skills you double or triple up in cost so much more making a straight line comparison incomprehensible at the very least.
I just figured 150k is a convenient, easy number and is relatively in line with the exp cost per level at cap (112k). It's also easily rationed with the training point cost... sure skills don't really scale (because most "combat" skills are maxed at cap, so someone who's "level 200" isn't really a ton more powerful than someone who's "level 100").

Just my take :)

And it's 7572500 to cap.

[Danical]

I REALLY wish they would allow for "epic" options to spend exp on instead of skills I don't really need.

Not that my character is a power monger or lords over others but because it would give me something far more motivating than, say, a few more ranks of air lore or whatever.

Mostly, I just want the 130 area to come out so I can get that thrill again.

[Fallen]

Yes, there is a lot they COULD do to expand upon the cap. They simply do not believe hard mechanics is worth the bother at this point, though. They may release some fluff stuff for post-cap people in the semi-near/distant future. Oscuro was polling folks on the officials for non-mechanics related changes that could be made to the post-cap experience.

[Danical]

Such as?

I don't read the officials anymore.

Stat potion. I'm almost afraid to use it.

Stat potion was your post cap goal?

If you made it that far, it sure doesn't seem like you need it! It makes it really hard to turn down like 40 million.

[TheWitch]

Yes, that was a post-cap goal.

Used it, virtually painless. Lost 4 spells and 5 mana points. Debating now what to do with the 700+ points I had hanging around, since neither of those losses is life altering in the least.

Prior stats sucked - only four at 100. Which really didn't seem to make that big of a difference - except encumberance was a pain in the ass.

Now, all but 1 at 100. Am unencumbered with all the shit I used to have to phase. Yea!

And since I refuse to sell silvers or items for RL cash, and have more silvers than I can reasonably spend since I really don't need (or want) much by way of fancy gear, I used the stat potion myself. Go figure.

It hasn't yet. No idea when, but you have to imagine soon. Probably after the Grimswarm event. Oscuro said he was hoping at one point to get it released BEFORE the new year.

Harness Power......................| 302 202

On to EMC.

[Fallen]

Nice, Khistian. Do you find the cost of the skill worth the mana gained? Isn't it only +1 per training at anything above 1x?

[GS4Khistian]

Yeah, it's only +1 per rank past 100. 100 extra mana helps alot with my constant use of immolation and the long bounty hunts though.

[Soulpieced]

Having 404 mana helps immensely. I'm working on mana controls now to get more mana per pulse.

[Fallen]

I think after 3x spells I will certainly consider it, but right now it isn't worth the cost. Once they nerf the fuck out of COL I will likely think different.

[Danical]

If I'm ever low on mana in the temple I just leech around 150ish from a siren. then move on.

EDIT: I hardly ever wrack anymore unless I'm purifying a huge batch of gems.

[Drunken Durfin]

Once they nerf the fuck out of COL I will likely think different.

Of what COL do you speak, Council of Light or Cone of Lightning?

[Kitsun]

Of what COL do you speak, Council of Light or Cone of Lightning?

He plays a sorcerer and he spoke about mana problems, so I'd say the Council.

[Fallen]

Well, wracking..or spirit loss is likely going to take a nerf. Either your CS/TD will lower with your spirit, or they will increase the costs to wrack..or stick a timer on it.

With the spell Cone of Lightning, expect a partial nerf in that as well. Naos said he means to change it so you cannot target 400 targets in the room at once while the spell still remains PC friendly.

[Danical]

Yeah, I'm waiting for 1030 to get beat severely with the nerfstick.

It's seriously one of the most overpowered spells in the game if you have the appropriate manipulation lore.

[Soulpieced]

What "real" benefits do you think/see you're getting from 2x in physical fitness?

[Stunseed]

Stamina, a Sunfister's friend.

[Danical]

some SICK ASS HP regen.

The real reason for getting 2x PT is for Sigil of Power. I can now regen 50 stamina every minute which translates into +50 mana every pulse, essentially. I can hunt almost non-stop; encumbrance stops my hunts now.

Also, it's a component for almost every single creature maneuver but not CMans so that's helpful. I think I'm getting screwed less by GWE maneuvers.

[NocturnalRob]

I think I'm getting screwed less by GWE maneuvers.

I demand quantitative proof before I'll believe that one.

[Danical]

If you look what Mestys and Oscuro have posted about the components of maneuvers you'll see PT is a part of quite a number of them including the drowning maneuver, Call Wind, and Stone Fist.

I'd assume it's the same for many others until they come forward with it.

[Fallen]

Correct, GMs have stated clearly on the boards that it is a factor in nearly every single creature maneuver.

[Celephais]

Ever miss the CS from extra ranks of MjE, or do you find that you're plenty adequate spread out like this (obviously with extra defense).

[Suppa Hobbit Mage]

Yeah, what is your CS for each of the spell groups? I'm curious myself as I've always thought of bringing my spells up to 101 in each. Also curious your bolt AS.

[Askip]

My basic self spelled casting AS is 450. I use CoL signs and a pure potion so I hunt with 500AS.

CS: MajE 540, MinE 538.

Using 516 Leech I always have 600+ mana per hunt, way more than enough to fry and then some. I could wrack and use 415/519 but never bother, by that time I am too heavy to safely hunt anyway.

Air lore.

Air Lore for the tower shield hacks.

Air lore so I can use you for group haste in the Temple. Do it... But seriously doesn't more air lore give more phantom dodge ranks for Song of Tonis? I know you don't usually sing it, but it would be like killing two birds with one stone, though you might need to pick more HP if you need the mana.
