I have the following situation: - All professions at rank 20 - All Chultan Masterwork - But, I'm missing "Chultan" from Alchemy somehow. I did MW professions years ago when it was MW1-5 and had everything unlocked. When I check the Recipe Keeper in Chult, he has nothing for me to buy. When I go to the Stronghold or New…

It was nice to see the Tales of Old titles/achievements resolved -- would love to have this achievement looked at, too, please!

Ditto to gweddry's comment above. I have a very hard time believing that those numbers are accurate for successful ToMM runs; it must be all attempts. Class -> Damage performance in ToMM +/- % Arcanist +3% Blademaster +1.8% Warden +1.5% Assassin -- Hellbringer -1.6% Dreadnaught -3% Arbiter -6% I currently have ~50 clears…

This is just another example of poor attention to detail from a team that doesn't playtest (or play, period) their own game even close to enough. The fact that the event is still scaling players to 16k & applying the same debuffs as in pre-mod16 tells me that the team was too busy or ignorant to realize the implications of…

My 2 coppers: Agree re: QA fail. But, exploits are always a spectrum of "possible to stumble upon by accident" vs. "requires knowledge & intent to reproduce". I don't know where the ToMM issue lies on the spectrum because I don't know how it worked -- but, if a player consciously chooses to make use of something that's…

Ran out of characters, so I'm starting a 2nd post...* Chase achievements for challenging group content. Another MMO I play a lot of does a fantastic job with achievements, which give their endgame dungeons a lot of replayability beyond loot farming. Each dungeon has achievements for speedrun, zero group deaths, and "hard…

The "workaround" for this issue, as others have noted elsewhere, is to simply purchase all the reagents you require while the artifact is rare quality (i.e. extra 2 of both Mask and Leira) so that you have what you need once it comes time to upgrade from purple to orange. The empowered artifact is bound to account once…
-
Can someone smart confirm for... my friend... that the grumpy reactions are because of the nerfs to Power-looping via Courage Breaker, Whirlwind of Blades, and Press the Advantage? Cuz apart from those, which are obviously sizable, seems like some nice buffs to DPS in the feats (and Blade Flurry). I'd guess that for the…
-
The way I read it, the CW paths are being redefined again to be Opp (and chill focus) for PVP, Thaum for ... spell twisting? ... and Renegade as a much more viable support role thanks to combat advantage generation + reworked capstone. Should be kinda cool for CWs to be a more potent support role, but I'm not totally sure…

I mostly like these changes, and here is why: 1) It rewards playing the game (AD for completing activities). The more you play, the more AD you make. This is the way the game has been trending for awhile, and I think it's fair & makes sense, though it's a bummer for people who are short on playtime. That's what you get for…
-
My two cents: Barovia, while fun & well-designed, was also a fast campaign with relatively little to farm for (grab your t3 hunt gear, farm your Seals of the Crown, done). Unlike in Soshenstar/Omu, where t3 hunt gear was a real chase/grind, Barovia t3 posters' drops are widely available -- which is great, but also shortens…

As the person who traded it to @nic1985: I acquired it via a trade a few years ago at Perfect rank, no idea how it got to be that way. I was curious to see if the VFX would change from Perfect -> Trans, so I upgraded it (which was an available option in the refining interface). At Transcendent, it sprouted flowers beneath…
-
Those are welcome changes indeed! The t2 results for all those tasks were pretty brutal failure scenarios. Thanks! If only we'd had these this week... failed a fanged beaded necklace attempt yesterday, would have hurt a lot less! :(
-
EDIT: neveremind. :)
-
That's great to hear, Julia -- thanks for letting us know! I echo John's feedback: I ran my first Spellplague (Master) this afternoon, and the final chest rewards were very underwhelming. I got a Wicked Enchantment, Rank 5 in one chest, a Black Opal in the other (alongside the campaign currency and seals) -- no salvage,…
-
Got an unbound green Skyblade Kobold from FBI... with no active bonus, lol. (available in zen store starting at blue quality, so I imagine they didn't bother coding up a green quality active bonus).
-
Worth mentioning that HR dodges can help a lot in this dungeon (on the hill with giant/bear swipes & from Drufi sword-swipes, mostly); I've only run FBI a couple of times without an AA DC, but the HR in our party definitely made those runs much easier!
-
Yeahhh, kind of a bummer to spend zen on legendary dragon keys so as to be able to open that bonus chest only to discover that there's no "guaranteed chance" (...) at a relic armor piece anymore... Signed, The DC in the party :(
-
You forgot spellplague caverns!
-
You just have to keep an eye out while exploring the new zone. I got lucky and looked at my treasure map approximately 50 feet away from its depicted location. :wink:
-
I was finally able to beat it on my 3rd try last night. Our party was all 4k+ (except for me, lowly 3.7k). Here are my learnings to share -- some similar to those who already posted: BOSS #1: the manticore has an unblockable(?), undodge-able attack in which it sprays out poisoned spines with a very wide AoE. As CW, I found…
-
Guess we'll have to agree to disagree on that one. Maybe if you try a few pug runs, you'll see my side of things. :)
-
We had a pretty solid party IMO... everyone was over 3.5k, tank was 4k OP from Gutbusters. This wasn't a party of people who inched over the 3.1k mark yesterday -- everyone well-geared and seemed pretty experienced. We really struggled to make much of a dent in the turtle without it growing stacks from the bodyslams. If…
-
I don't see any problems with the dungeon either. I'm just warning folks who are right around 3k and expecting something like CN difficulty that they are likely in for a nasty wake-up call. :) I'm glad that you find it easy, though.
-
Is there any plan to revisit (and hopefully buff) the gear that can be crafted via masterwork professions? As someone who has invested a ton of time and AD in this to get Jewelcrafting and Artificing finished, I would love to be able to make things that are actually worth it via the tier 2 recipes. One simple suggestion,…
-
Just because I don't think it's been said: - rising crit +4/+5 is Prophecy of Madness - sudden crit +4/+5 is Castle Never - rising power +4/+5 is Demogorgon/Demogorgon (Master) I've only gotten an overall gold result on PoM (the one where you have to close rifts) once since they fixed the phase timer -- phase 1 & 2 were…

Hi there! I'd love to sign up for 6/9, 4-5pm. My handle is @hugienwn Looking forward to it!
-
I've gotten them in both Icewind Pass and Dwarven Valley, but the drop rate is indeed very low. :/
-
@dsn1118 : yes, you only get the rosegold ring (etc.) result as a tier 3. tier 2 result is 1 Gold Ingot and I Copper Ingot (in the case of the two Rosegold rings I mentioned), which is (relatively) pretty OK as a failure result, IMO. Personally, I've gotten lucky... in the instances in which I've attempted to make rings,…

2nd Set of Tasks The second batch is where things get nasty. These are masterwork crafting tasks, and your masterwork tool is only of white quality, so even if you have all your other assets at purple for these tasks (which you had better), you will only have a 20% success rate in crafting towards a rank 3 result (and you…
