You buy the explorer kits in the stronghold from a vendor, I think he's next to the builder. You use the kits to unlock the nodes that give you materials for mastercrafting.
Thanks, there goes a bunch of my dps. I wonder why in the patch notes it says rings that drop from Demonics? So many vague and misleading things about this game.
I don't know if this is the right place to ask but what rings exactly are going to be affected by the change regarding companions and underdark rings? It says rings dropped from Demonic heroic encounters but don't the same rings drop from Demo? I never got a useful ring from a Demonic so I don't know.
Still running the same build, I think I might of only lost a quarter of my damage. If your friend is one of the people that have to be at the top of the leader boards(I'm going to take a wild guess and say he is) then he might be out of luck. Sw buffs are so good that taking a hit on damage didn't bother me.
If you get the xp tomes as a reward for leveling up, save them for double xp weekend. I used 12 on my gwf alt and he went from level 4 to 30. I forgot to put azures on him before hand so he would of even been higher.
