Look forward to seeing that toon! I went steampunk with my cw. it's fun. the gond stuff is my favorite styling in this game. wish there was more of it and more often.
This will be a character, just to have fun with. The back story will be "Riding his metal lobster, wielding his trusty Doohickey and accompanied by his Guardian Angel (of protection) Clarence, Gonditis is just as likely to shoot off fireworks (oooh, pretty), as use an encounter power while continuing his relentless search for the ever elusive ForgeHammer." Likely will be a hybrid Righteous/15 point Virtuous cleric. Not great at either, but adaptable. 350 celestial coins on Luna Sea, so 10 more days until my first Angel and will be ready to start anytime after.
Now, back to topic. I'm willing to do whatever is needed to help out, but only "behind the scenes". I've spent too much of my life in supervisory/managing/organizing to have any interest in being a leader/organizer/recruiter. But, would be happy to support. I'm too old (you just think you are old) to deal with that other stuff. So, other types of leaders to assist is probably a good idea.
Ive been doing some research in pally builds and so far this is a dream build for me. Figured id share if anyone else is interested. Hit 43 last night gained ten lvls yesterday.
That build is pretty good - based my initial build off it. I will say one thing - it might be easier to spec into bubble-Pally first, and add the retribution. That's just because some of the gear he's using (like the snail mount) is pretty high-end/costly. So you either have to run with a haste cleric, or a group that's not expecting a bubble.
I had AD's from some keys i bought that gave me stuff not for me or that went for super high Ad to give my pally a kick start bought enchantments and purple weapon and sheild and cloak that lvls up as i do. Then the other night i helped kill a dragon and got the bone shield so i placed it on top of my current shield so i dont look like everyone else hahah.
Great progress! You're going to hit a wall at level 61/62 - at that point reach out and we'll do our best to help you through.

Just wanted to add, that I regularly farm the 60-70 areas for Elemental crafting mats and since I play mostly support characters, healdin, High Prophet Haste and other DPS and healing clerics, I'd be happy to run support. Plus many of us will be in those zones farming motes for the new weapons. I've been waiting for the initial excitement to die down to start serious mote farming.
Contact me. I'm a hoarder. I have stuff that might be appealing to all levels.
Okay, so after the descussions we've had - from the giveaway point of view: If someone wants to donate/giveaway a specific item, I'll offer to run a competition on their behalf - but I'll let the person donating the item pick the method (e.g. Donation drive, fun question, activity participation) and work with them to put something togeather. I'll take care of messaging, gathering entries, drawing (rolling) numbers and making sure we've only got one thing on at once, and that we're not having too many giveaways in too short a period.

I know we've got a few in their late-30s-Early 40s - I'm 36. I imagine the older crowd probably adds to the laid back atmosphere.

I have my fire artifact from the motes, but I am interested in the others too, just because I like to horde things I'll never use. If anyone is mote farming I'm happy to help.

imo the most important thing you can do to get thru level 60-70 is to get the highest ranked azure enchants you can afford (7 or 8s) and get level 60 artifact equipment as they have utility slots. the neck and waist. don't bother refining them. you'll trade them out for level 70 stuff.. but having the extra percentage towards your ex makes a huge difference. completely decked out you can literally cut your grind in half.

Now that we have inscribed garments, they are nice also for an additional 20% boost and they have decent stats until you get your end game pants and shirts. Only downside is no slots, but most of the leveling ones don't either. A little pricey for one character (1700 Zen with 15% off coupon), but if one is an "alt"oholic it can be worthwhile.
Since I leveled 7 toons to lvl70 I can say that the best way to Rank from 60-70 imo is to farm quests in Drowned Shore until you are rank 65-67. Then just go through the rest of the other zones (Rec Rock, Fire pit etc) mainly just to get the leveled gear. But the main part is getting Azure Enchants if possible, I would think at least Rank 7.
Also, unless you are someone who literally just likes the grind and getting everything possible, even if its useless. I would not suggest any DPS class going for any of the new "unique weapons" (I.E. the ones if the leveling zones like the Drowned Mainhand or Howling or Burning or Earthen). Each DPS class is much better off with the Twisted Weapon set, unless you just don't like doing max damage. If you DON'T want to maximize your damage output then sure go ahead and get the "unique weapons." Its all your choice, if you want to get them then go ahead.
Support Classes, Paladin/Guardian Fighter/Cleric, can go either way and be successful. The Twisted set is still focused more towards DPS, but the set bonus does offer defense and power which are fairly decent for Support Classes. But I know that if I still played, I would much rather have the Burning set from the Fiery Pit for my Paladin and my Cleric. Even though my Pally was perma, that set bonus for a pally is just too good to not use.

yeah this is how I did all my toons. I always skip firey pits and the earth based one and just do drowned shores and the sky world. but now that they have the mote quest I think I'd focus on getting the drowned set and just stay in drowned shores the whole time. I think it's the fastest
I'm kinda shocked at the love for drowned shores - we found firey pit. It's got a single camp, quests for each area of the map are found on a single NPC, they're quick and the XP is good. Drowned Shores seems so spread out, and making sure you get quests focused in a single area isn't consistent. Whatever works, I guess.

you group the drowned shores quests for the final two areas. they are close to each other. avoid the water node quests. stick with quests that are synergist to each other and they're fast. firey pits is way longer and harder.
also to insert a random thought, we shouldn't exclude our community leaders from the contests and drawings. I'd hate to discourage people from filling that very very very important roll because of not being able to participate.
Had a Blast last night with the guild doing Stronghold things . I am Vip now sense i got hammered for not being one hahhah anyways thanks for the invite and iam lvl 51 now. Thanks for the tip on xp boost on items
Now to get a mount so im not 2 mins behind on getting there before everything is dead " sigh " hahah thanks again .

So, I noticed we need an insane amount of surplus for next upgrade and I did some tests to see how bad it will be. A blue item will give the coffer very little and that means the upgrade will take forever to achieve. Since we don't need AD donations at the moment, I recommend buying cheap purple items with min lvl 60 requirements (not item level but min character level). They can be found for as little as 4.4k AD on AH (free appearance change gear) and give 810 to coffer. Also a good way to collect guild marks if you need them. ;-)
Surplus is a great way for level 60s with limited AD to contribute to the guild. Purple is best, but green and blue item donations are perfectly fine and these are easy to farm if you have the time and the bag space.
I think it should also be possible to farm the Sharandar lairs for purple surplus, but I haven't tried yet.
I will probably be off more than on this week and the next due to work/life obligations. If you see me on (@thinkskate) and I'm not responding, please understand.
we are all set for market place 3. we don't have a clear goal for after market place 3
There is a post by Randomdigits on page 4 that indicates upgrading the support structures may be the next step after Guildhall 6. Farm, lumberyard, quarry, that stuff.
yup we need 5 more structures at 3 before we can go to gh 7 but we don't know which one yet. there may be another boon along the way here as well.
Looks like most efficient route might be mine, lumberyard with farm and quarry about equal for third/fourth choice. With the marketplace, that would be 5 and upgrading the current boon structure twice could make the 6th and then waiting until Guildhall 8 to make the second boon structure. But, it would be a nice reward/boost for everyone to get that second boon earlier.
Alright guys i hit 60 last night. The person that said i would hit a brick wall at 60 damn are you right. Ive done 8 quest , After i did the druid Tree quest. And i only got 4 bubbles into 60 thats insane thats With the Azure Enhancements on. the 7.5 % one's . I'm currently in Drow shores 4 people with 3 quest each and a timer on other quest i can do after timer runs out. Is this the best way? Im doing all 4 people before timer goes down for other quest to pop up. Run to caves kill HAMSTER. collect HAMSTER on the ground turn in for exp that you cant see move the bar haha. I figured it would be like this when i hit 65 .
War is a cowardly escape from the problem of peace
Also another Question the Mulhorand gear do they cap out at 60? I thought i read online they cap out at 60 and the Mulhorand Neck caps out at 70 anyone know ?

Dragon bone caps at 60, Mulhorand caps at 70.
I asked in game, but didn't see an answer. Do you have a lvl 60 artifact belt? I have a few and currently only have plans for one on Gonditis. The belt will give you an extra utility slot, but cause the loss of an offense or defense slot unless you level it up.

Besides ensuring you grab quests that have similar targets so you're being as efficient as possible, not really. It honestly makes it better to sort of view it through a different lense. 60-70 might take close to as long as 1-60 took. When you start grinding it like that, and don't plan on getting 3-8 levels in a night, it goes smoother. It's just a grind. Compared to most other MMOs that I've played though, this is still cake. I used to play EQOA on PS2 and that was like 8-10 hours of play time per level most of the way. I.e. you got maybe half a level a night from like level 35 on. This is nothing compared to that.
Question on your guys play time, I know I've kicked the tires on you before but now that I'm nearing 70 it's time to get serious! Do you guys have people that play earlier? 10pm PST is midnight for me and I almost never play that late. At least not on a school(work) night. Would I miss out on a lot of things that happen that late at night?
" akakilla32 I used to play EQOA on PS2 " I played Eq 1 From Launch before there was full screen . If you died and didnt get back to corpse in time you lost everything. And being human at night without a lightstone you couldnt see nothing infront of you . I know the grind trust me . I wasnt complaining about it just asking if there was a faster way through it. But i will just grind out quest and follow the guides .

Yep goat, and don't forget the XP debt from deaths, that was crushing. I've found this much more tolerable when you just temper the expectations and don't expect a level every time you go to turn in some quests.
Before the New loot systems came out for games. Boss fights that would take 20 to 40 people to kill and they would only drop 3 things and everyone that " could " use it Rolled on it. Man Talk about taking time. I think i spent more time in Hate and Fear trying to get stuff off a random roll spent most of my younger life on that stupid game hah. Was good times though. And if im not mistaken Rolls was put in after first expansion . So the " leaders" of the guild would choose who gets it.
