Hyper lvling from 70-80?

Don't hyper until ll 75 at FC. You can quest/BH your way from 70 to 75. Hypering before FC is a waste of time and money.

Like you can get Frost Parties at 75 b:chuckle No one gets invited to Frost at 7X unless they pay a 100+ to power level them or have really nice friends. Hearing 7X cry about lack of Frost its the most annoying thing ever, after all its a 85+ instance.

But yeah you get loads of exp from just doing your BHs anyway. If someone really wanna hyper while grinding id suggest Night scream Island since mobs are mele and nicely tucked up in huge groups. Can even aoe there if you have enough def and hp. Fly/water mobs sucks for sins tho.

If you do PQ you can always hyper the boss, he gives some nice exp.

I keep seeing FCCs go lower and lower. Not sure how they open things and activate bosses, but it's getting ridiculous.

On Sanctuary seeing squads around 75-85 are pretty popular. I even see some 65-75 squads form. A couple bad experiences has arrived from this.

I was on my lvl 88 barb, answered a "FCC LF a barb 85+" I joined the squad, and it had 2 players level 73 and a level 71. Remaining 2 were around 80 something. I said that would ruin the experience, and they should let people know they are taking level 71s before they join the squad, then left. I had 2 players send me hate pm's for about 5 minutes on how selfish I was being to not help them.. *sigh, how selfish is it to demand help from people who have worked for their level?*

I also had a run that was organized as 80-90. When we all joined we were all 80-84. We had no opener and no one wanted to give up their place. I was the barb, the hardest class to find, so I had a place. Anyways, I agreed to open on my main and switch back. I did, rebuilt chi, and we started. Then we needed my main for second boss. Since I wouldn't have chi to tank with I ended up switching to my main, opening and tanking. Then they complained about me switching back because without me tanking and DDing on my 100 fist bm it would be too slow... When we got to the heads I set my barb up with a bow right where I'd need him, left, activated, and popped back in. It took them forever to invite me back in so I started killing heads on my own and then they finally invited me. I missed a bit of exp.


Anyways, my point is these under 85 FCC squads are taxing on someone, and its usually the higher levels, the tank, and the cleric that have to pay for it. Sins and psys tend to be the worst culprits as the most popular DDs being raised right now. The longer an FCC takes the higher the repair bill for the barb. Just like its a barbs job to control aggro, its a DDs job to kill things quick, and players under 85 don't do that job very well. Except if a barb loses aggro people die and then complain about the barb, no one complains about a DD if something doesn't die quickly. There's no accountability for DDs which is why almost every squad under 80 ish is 4 DDs looking for a Barb and a cleric, and the barb and cleric have to be 85+ to activate bosses. They have it easy when it comes to leveling, and it ends in the barb having high repair bills and long bouts of aggro control, the cleric burning pots through long battles and keeping extra squishy people alive, or higher levels doing most the work and carrying the DD load.

Sorry, that ended in a rant but it kind of needs to be said to some people.

BHs (stack them and they'll go really quick). CS is cheap until level 80. Hyper killing Foxwing Supremes (hmm, not sure on their level but its close.) Or pay people to carry you through FCC. Going rate on sanctuary is 40k a boss for each person with 6 bosses before the exp room. Hyper a few bosses right before they die and pause right after (take 5 seconds of time). Hyper the exp room pull, then ask them to leave squad for heads and solo them with hypers on.

I myself have done one FC in which Bourn and IKazuchiKage b:bye and a 100 BM just dominated everything (with some nice cleric) and i racked the EXP at lvl 50. I see how much of a pointless waste of 600k on hypers that was now and now, as I prepare to begin REALLY FCing I see how much I hurt those Sins and BM, but they showed me there still are some nice people out there in-game. I see all these posts about how low levels are so anoying in FC, but seriously, it's a game, why not have fun and help people? It doesn't matter the repair bill, just have fun! b:thanksb:thanks

It was all thanks to my faction that I started FC. I learned what to do from them, and everything about pulls and boss tactics.

I started at 75, gained a level to almost 77, did a few bh's/cube/cs/wq, and got to 78. Did another run with them, this time doing the sin's job alone (first run was a learning run for me), and pulled it off nicely. The second run had a couple mistakes, but none too drastic ^^;

That run leveled me to almost 80, and I went ahead and got 80. Now I have a better weapon and equipment for now, so I'll be more efficient at FC nowadays.

Both runs were nerfed (had a 94/95 in it), yet the nerf wasn't bad at all! I gained quite a lot of experience.
