Who else thinks exp loss is the most cruel way to die?

i came from another MMO game where exp loss was normal and you even deleveled.

maybe you need to pay more attention to the fight? that or pick a easier game to start off

i'll hate to quote yulk but learn to play

i thought that there were some mmo with deleveling and even perma-death

I hate to say this, but it sounds like maybe you aren't playing your class to its fullest potential. I can't remember the last time I died on any of my chars doing quests, other than the times I got cocky thinking I could finish a mob before it finished me. lol

Are you using a Jones blessing? Are your attack skills up to date? Is your weapon?

O.o what kind of Mmo does perma-death. That sounds intense.

It was optional. Some sort of difficulty level thing. Never got into that game so I don't know much about the exact details of it. o.o

play a barb.

i could afk a **** ton around aggro mobs and not die on that class

sucks to be in a deleveling game b:chuckle

Finally, a positive and helpful comment, thanks for the advice I'll take it. ;D

Jade powder is also rather good too, just use it after buffing Life Powder. It also allows you 10 mins of roaming stealth. Rather fun and easy to use.

ima just say it...
TROLLb:angry

A game with perma death which i no of, is hosted by Aeria games and the first 3 letters are Sha....ill leave it as that, it just had 4 levels fo difficulty on the MMO, easy so you would level up fast, but you gained less stat points and a lower level cap, normal so you had a normal exp rate and the normal level cap and stat points, hard in which it was obv harder to level up, but you gained more stat points with a higher level cap, then *insane* or something, in which it was super hard to level up, you gained the most stat points per level, the level cap was the highest, but if you died, you had to be resed within a few minutes by someone or your character was basicly perma dead (deleted), also i aint to sure if the stat bit is true, i haven't been on it so long I've forgot.

A sin at lower levels is hardish, you just have to make sure you farm a lot of herbs to make HP powder, then HP is never an issue, pagger 1-2 mobs, let the hp powder regen you to full within a few seconds, then slaughter the next mob, better then pot spamming or sitting for ages.

Grind mobs for 1-2 hours, get 500k. Buy 5 hypers, slap on x12 exp. Get ~5 levels within an hour hypering mobs around your level. Exp loss problem solved

P.S Don't say you can't afford that, you're doing CS, aren't you? Skip CS a couple of days and get hypers instead

Um, OP is under lvl 40, therefore CS requires Shabbies, which can be bought from the Merchant NPC for extremely cheap. In comparison to 8 tokens for a single Hyper Crystal, and atleast three are required to use them. And at close to 30K per token, a lvl 37 casual gamer isn't going to have that kind of money to blow on hypers.

On topic, as Ratsael and Laranda pointed out, apothecary items can go a long way. Paired up with pots, it is quite easy to take on mobs without a charm. Chaos Powders and Orbs of Vibrating Light heal a nice amount of HP, while Jade Powders heal nice for MP. Life Powders and Focus Powders are especially nice, and they last for 10 minutes. Dew of Rival Protection can save you in sticky situations, and if used properly, Sinew Enhance Orbs and Marrow Refresh Orbs can also do wonders for your defense.
Once you hit lvl 45 and have apothecary at lvl 3, I advise investing in Flourish Orbs, which have the combined effect of both life powders and focus powders and lasts for 10 minutes; Tranquilizing Orbs, which make you immune to all damage for 8 seconds; Soothing Orbs and Dark Green Orbs, which heal 6K MP and 6K HP respectively; and Dew of Lunar Protection, which reduces both physical and magical damage for 20 seconds.
Also, if you are big on farming herbs, Violet Wind Dews are a good movement buff and Sickle Leaf Tea recovers 50 Chi.

Other than apothecary, charms would be a good investment, otherwise, your best bet is to face mobs who's names are in the white, as they give better exp, spirit and drops. And get the Jones's Blessing if you haven't already.

Umm... the op is way below frost level. I don't see what will happen matters for her at all... Not for a long time, anyway.

ok lets get a few things straight.

you choose a sin..

Cleric are squisy but they can self heal
wiz are squishy but they can self heal

archer are squishy but they kill stuff at range ideally b4 it hits them and they have a damaging absorbing shield although no self heal

psychic kill stuff b4 it hits them an have a self heal

barbs and bm arnt squish and have self heals.

sin. have bloodpaint.

you CHOOSE to play sin, sins dont have a heal... meaning you either sqaud with a cleric or accept the fact that until higher lvls (70+) you going to have to drink pots every other mob or so.

your playing a squishy char yes. well unlike every other squishy class ur stuck in melee range taking hits.

the point is... your ganna lose exp if your ganna die. you ganna die if u dont drink pots.

Sins die more than any other class. dont wanna die? dont play sin.

A very old Blizzard game has a hardcore mode u can enable, u die, u can't rez..period, u must delete and restart

But dear Op, when you die you maybe lose 7%? when I die I lose less than 1% but if for some reason I decide to grind it (which I wouldn't, I'd just do bh or cs) it would take several times longer for me to get it back than for you to lvl.

I agree with that, on My main BM lvl 95 dying doesnt take much % away (let's say i think 1.5% if u release or so, but 1.5% of 20 mils exp is still a lot to farm back b:surrender

Just saying

As for guardian scrolls and hyper exp. yeah they can help get levels back, but depending on your playtime, they do have the nasty side effect of beeing 20 hours gaining just 10% of your regular exp/spirit afterwards, barely no on mentions that.

And don't talk about FC, geez..let the OP enjoy the game and learn his chars weaknesses, powerleveling is not something good (in my book) but is kinda acceptable I guess for those having very little time on their own. But on my server I saw A LOT of clerics/barbs power lvl and then called "fail" in WC and beeing bashed on.

Power leveling also makes it so that if u "over level" by 50.. let's say lvl up by all means to lvl 80, u will have missed all drops u could have got till then and quest rewards (coins wise), so u might not even be able to have appropriate gear unless u can cash shop.

As for money making, u still in level range a bit of antellope pups not far from silver pool or abysmal mysteries in water just west of Hidden orchid, those drop Hay. Hay can sell like 5-10k depending your server.

Hope that helps

b:bye

I think thats true lol. You really are the only squishy melee class, so its not like playing a barb or a bm. You honestly just have to stick it out then you (generally) wont die unless you do something dumb. Or push your limits too much, stuff like that. "Average" mobs wont even make a dent in your hp with bloodpaint on.

At low levels, dont bother buying herbs farm them. There is a good circuit just south of Etherblade where you can pick up the stuff you need to make the Life Powder. Then later you can use the next level up of the same idea, increased HP/MP regen.

Also, make friends! Find people in your own level range to grind with, or quest with. You can share buffs, it might not be a total life saver, but should make things a bit easier. Plus the quests get done faster and its quest exp thats the good thing at lower levels. So make sure you are doing all your quests! You really dont need hypers or any of that stuff.

Sins are hard to play at low levels, mobs hurt. But get in the hang of keeping your self buffs up as much as possible, using apothecary items, and just keep going b:victory

and for all that people might say sins are a solo class, its far more fun to play in a good squad with friends
