Here's something that's been bugging me since the Sword Coast Chronicle came out...the campaigns are in a confusing order. For this release, why does it appear that the Storm King's Thunder campaign is lower (in level/order/difficulty/whatever it's supposed to represent) than Icewind Dale? I'm talking about the initial campaign window. It's very confusing to newer players on live already. I talk to new folks and they are running around dying in well of dragons before they ever go to dread ring because Well of dragons is "lower" on the campaign window. Or they try to do the maze engine chapters before the Dwarven King quests or elemental evil.
can we please move these around to a more sensible order?
They are in a sensible order - Tyranny campaign is 2 parts, the first in the dragons in the leveling zones from Level 26, then you have WoD which is 2nd last (just under IWD).
The new campaign is level 72, so is in the correct spot also.
You need to unlock "Restore Bryn Shander Economy" only once to be able to move up to "Save Lonelywood Refugees" on the campaign window. That shortens the amount of Ten Town Supplies needed to unlock Fangbreaker Island. Unlocking "Restore BS Economy", added the Titan Potion of Greater Healing to the shop (Heals 50% of your Hps up to 18K).
I've tested these Titan Healing Potions and they're basically the same as the normal heal potions. The Potion of Grand Healing (25K Heals) is uber cheap and a common drop. No one would purchase the first 2 Titan potions in the Bryn shop unless you lowered the cooldown of these potions. I'm guessing that once you unlock "Restore BS Economy" three times, that there is a better heal potion than the Grand. Right now I find it pointless to even have these Titan potions in the shop.

There is also a boon to make the Titan potions heal for 20% more, but I don't see why anyone would take it over one of the other options in the first place.
And players are always going to gravitate towards the potions that are free.

Agreed - the Titan Potions have been removed and the boon now grants a 10% bonus to Healing potions.
Just did the WEEKLY quest, "Tending the Shrine". Recieved 15 Reputation and 50 Ten Town supplies. This should keep the TT Supplies on pace with the reputation (depending on player's choices).
On another character, did the WEEKlY, "Blizzard's Return". Did ya beefup the Female Yeti?!?

Uhhh... spoilers?
Why the.... did I click the image....
Second edit: More explicitly, if you don't want to spoil yourself, don't click the image. The picture itself doesn't give anything away but the title does.
Feedback: Campaign Currency pace Now that the zones are finally opened, we can get an estimate of how quickly players can accumulate campaign currency.
There are weekly quests in Bryn Shander and Lonelywood, but there doesn't seem to be a weekly in Cold Run. Players can grind as much Voninblood as they like through relic hunting. The minority of players who will be completing Fangbreaker can grind out unlimited amounts of Ten-Towns Supplies.
Here's a table of campaign task costs and quest rewards: task reputation voninblood secrets supplies
Liberate Bryn Shander 10 35
Secrets of Ostorian Relics 45 30
Winter Warrior 55 3000 21 15
Restore Bryn Shander's Economy 1 65 350 50

Assist Refugees 1 140 800 50

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
total 500 66900 225 850
quest reputation voninblood secrets supplies
Defending the Daily (Daily) 9 3 10
Blizzard's Return (Weekly) 15 18 9 50
Tending the Shrine (Weekly) 15 18 9 50
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
average day 13.3 5.6 24.3
total / average day 37.6 40.4 35.0
These numbers are an estimate. They don't account for the fact that the Lonelywood weekly isn't immediately available, or for any currency from the story quests, or for which day of the week you start the campaign. The table assumes that the player spends no currency in the campaign store. Anyone planning to use the campaign store is in for a longer grind.
Doing extra dailies or "found" quests is pointless because they only award Voninblood and paltry amounts of experience. If you want more experience, kill a giant. If you want more Voninblood, dig up a relic. Questing is slower and less rewarding.

The new shirt and pants are really disappointing for people that are neither build to life steal or deflection, 6% of ef resist is a lot to loose, specially for people that have in mind running FBI, could you make an alternative set?
Feedback: Campaign Store 1. The Everfrost shirts and pants both rare and epic should be Bind to Account on Pickup instead of Bind on Pickup.
2. The rare Everfrost Shirts and Pants should cost far fewer Ten-Towns Supplies or they will never be purchased. Players will simply wait to accumulate a few more Ten-Towns Supplies with which to buy the Greater Everfrost shirts and pants.
3. The common Potion of Everfrost Resist should be removed from the Campaign Store. These potions are purchasable for 6 silver from the supplies vendor. Selling these potions for 560 Voninblood and 7 Ten-Towns Supplies is a cruel trap for the unwary.
4. Frankly, there's nothing in the Campaign Store that's worth buying and thereby delaying the campaign grind toward the tier 5 boons. This means there's also little reason for even bothering to unlock the campaign store or complete the tasks that reduce the cost of items in the campaign store.
According to the Campaign....updating "Restore BS Economy", "Assist Refugees", and "Drive Back the Giants" is suppose to reduce the prices along with adding more stuff. I haven't been payin attention to the prices to verify this.
@two30 would you mind to share what those items are? stats of shirt and pant? this mod boons are the worst you ever got, i dont need a great incentive to spend resources elsewhere
EDIT: just went to check them, those are the best couple of trousers and shirt i ever seen. I got hyped just for them..50% damage reflect upon deflection, nice!
Feedback: If we're required to manage our Everfrost resistance Stat to get a certain percentage for content could we please have a space on the character sheet to see how much we actually have so that we can make sure food buffs/potions and the like are stacking properly along with gear and boons? I thought it was odd since I have a boon that gives me 2% and it doesn't show up anywhere on my character sheet. Thanks!
