  • Good grief, people, grow up. No more codes, too bad, but we'll all live. Frankly, I'm not surprised they ended -- the way some of you whined and complained every time a new one was announced. Isn't there an old saying about gifts and horses? Thank you, Sparkie, for the gifts you did provide us. b:laugh
  • Maintenance Question: If you could do anything you wanted right now, such as travel or open up a new business, what would you do and why? (Keep it clean people!) I'd discover a water additive that brings about lasting world peace, a cure for all illnesses, and causes fish to reproduce at an exponential rate so there'd be…
  • Yes. No kidding. I did it the first time this morning and when I received neither the 140 feral soul stars or the nine additional stars I concluded I'd somehow screwed things up, which is nothing new. Still, it frustrated me to the point I logged off for the day. When these guides are no longer valid they need to be…
  • I doubt you'd regret it; Harpy is a real game changer. After leveling up three previous venos I didn't think I could enjoy doing so again, but I was wrong -- it was that much more fun developing new ways to approach old challenges with the Harpy's ranged skills. And, at least based on my playstyle, there's not a better…
  • Thank you, OPKossy, for the clarification.
  • There was a time when venos could get in trouble for a lot of things; i.e., luring Quinzi through a closed door using the old camera mechanism. In BH39 (and elsewhere) you can go through the wall at certain points, and using that old camera feature it was possible to attack the bosses such that they could not return fire.…
  • Level-99 on first Reawakening. Before I commence RB2 I plan to evolve a couple of my pets. With no reservation whatsoever, my first evolved pet will be my Harpy. More and more I'm soloing BH bosses in fox form, where I'm the tank. Kills simply occur faster when my Harpy is doing DD. For Morai and Primal dailies, nothing…
  • Thank you! That would appear to be the issue. I was at 20/20 last Friday. So, tomorrow I should be good to go again.
  • Have leveled my Harpy to 95 as of this entry. The only mini boss she's had trouble with is Gargantakong at level-75 (haven't tried him since). At level-90 the Harpy was able to handle Jewelscalen easily. I remain convinced that if someone leveling up a new veno is choosing a Legendary Pet and is primarily interested in…
  • From my original veno started in 2009, I have the level-2 wolf, which has been hovering at level 96 for many years. Regrettably, of my three senior venos, that's the only starter pet I kept.
  • Under the heading of *Just for Chuckles* A level-60 Harpy can solo Sonic Oppressor b:chuckle (It takes 2 hours and 27 minutes)
  • Thank you, Desdi. Trust me, I've appreciated your well-considered posts about the new pets very much. The Harpy was a no-brainer for me. Having leveled any number of water pets, including a level-2 tortois up to 80, it's comfortinng to know I can stick with the Harpy for the duration. And, my favorite battle milieu is in…
  • Quicky, you say. Long as the servers have been down, it would have been an all-night orgy!
  • Well, my truculent friend, this thread isn't about NW, it's about a desire for availability of tokens outside NW - something I oppose. Since I'm tempted to return your cattiness in kind, I will bow out as you suggest. Do have a most pleasant day.
  • Wow! Read much? I don't do NW. I have no need for NW tokens. Can I parse those two sentences in a way that makes it easier for you to understand?
  • And when there's sufficient economic justification to go with g16, I will adjust accordingly. My point being is that unlike the carrot-and-stick motivation suggested by an earlier poster, not all of us are dancing to that beat. Many of you have a specific goal of achieving level cap with the very best gear possible.…
  • My route: My veno, at level-96, has 37589 reputation (I've been playing her since early 2009). Reputation is in Boutique for 45 Silver per 50 badges @ 25 rep per badge (or .1,250 rep per bundle) Veno needs 162,411 rep for R8; so 162,411 / 1,250 = 130 bundles (rounded up from 129.9288) 45 silver x 130 = 58.5 gold For…
  • Why? I don't level my alts above 100, and because it takes me a very long time to level, reputation is never a big issue. Again, having a G16 Nirvana weapon is irrelevant to my needs; in fact, for what I do it's a case of diminishing returns. I've long subscribed to an old saying that goes: The greatest enemy of good is…
  • I disagree. Having started in this game in 2008, I guess I'm an "old timer." Also, my goal has never included having the very best gear, though what I have is certainly adequate for my level and pertinent challenges. I started out with clerics and continued to reroll them until I was confident that I was competent. Now,…
  • Funny, I'm not finding PvE dead at all. Each morning I get on my veno, do BH79 and my Morei daily. At least twice weekly this includes a foray into BH89 which, done solo, takes a while. After that I get on my Barb and Cleric and multibox BH69 and usually a BH79 boss. Every few days I'll cleanup whatever Divine quests I've…
  • My veno is 96, she is pure magic. I mostly solo BHs, grind TT, and do Morei dailies with her; I have found the emphasis on MAG benefits me more than than having any points to VIT. With pure MAG, I've always been able to solo bosses at level, except Nob and Pole, of course. Chief drawback to having a pure MAG veno is taking…
  • Fact is, some of us cannot do PvP. In my case, I've had a spinal injury that has left me with increasingly worse hand tremors -- to the point I have difficulty some days just trying to click the menu items when I'm purchasing/combining gems for Crazy Stone. That doesn't mean I don't enjoy many game aspects, but I have no…
  • Hmmm ... let's see ... I can spend the next 9-12 months grinding ad nauseum or drop $1500 to acquire r9. -removed-
  • Nonresponsive. I presume you haven't noticed consistent parity/disparity with respect to drops received while in squad.
  • LOL ... for shame, Bubbles b:laugh Mixing iambic tetrameter and pentameter in a quatrain. Give me access to that "magical window of secrets," I could have some real fun with those numbers b:angry
  • Exactly, if you're not going to NW, PvP, or TW, there's absolutely no point acquiring better gear. My cleric on Sanctuary reached 100 before Morei (I quit PW for several months during which Morei was added). She still has Rank VIII and TT99 gear, albeit well refined. On rare occasions I do a BH, help with a world boss, or…
  • *HEADSLAP* Guessing DQ drop prices for DQ81+ will be the next range reset to 1 gold.
  • Thank you very much for providing me a title. Huggles
  • That's kinda funny. I have dual cliented several 7x clerics in bh59. For efficiency's sake, I evariably have my cleric tank all the bosses. On occasion, I've also dual cliented my 100 cleric in bh59. Normally, she has only to heal herself once or twice before the boss is dead. So, having a 101 cleric ask you to BB seems…
  • If you're taking the regrettable route of acquiring pets as you level up (rather than improving low-level pets), the one good pet in Valley of Dissaster is Sower of the Flame, a red bird located behind the Token of Fire. It's not a great tank, but it does pretty good damage and is good for grinding (as if anyone did that…
