How do I?
I'm about to hit 100, going melee warrior type, should I pick up adept next? Currently running battle master, have all the first and second tier classes.

Adept is going to feel like your darkest days, the tier change at 100 is intense, and adept is honestly just not a great class. I actually went back to battle master until like 115, simply because the best gear I had was mage.

It's a prerequisite for a really good class, majestic is fantastic in comparison. When you have the orns together you'll want to go back and do whatever you have to to get druid as well though, they have some of the best buffs in the game.

Sweet, thanks for the advice. I'm just going to buckle down and bear through it, shouldn't be too long. Just built myself a blacksmith too, so I can upgrade gear as I go.

One other question, what should I be looking for with pets? My dog does nothing, currently, and shops have 3* at best.

Typical pets for melee is wisp and then twilight wisp. I don't have much experience in others but those ones heal you.

I went dragoon and that has an awesome spell to one shot pretty much anything around your level.

Wisp is *godly* for sustaining your way through fights at times. The second you can snatch one up, you really should.

So what's the deal with the guys on the leaderboard?

Is it just a bunch of guys spoofing their GPS or are there really guys travelling across the country for this?

You know how some people travel for work so much that they build a tiny, tiny, miniscule pc to play games in their hotel room?

These fuckers play orna in their rental car instead.

I'm torn between picking up druid now to have the buffs, or saving another 75k orns for blademaster. Just hit 150, kinda under-geared so it takes a couple hits for every monster of the new tier right now. Anyone have any thoughts on it?

Just hit 125, currently getting absolutely mutilated by frost trolls and high draconians, as expected.
The problem I'm running into is that the gear they're dropping isn't as good as what I currently have, which is mostly starlord and holiday stuff, along with a 6* woodblade I lucked into.
Should I wait for legendary/ornate high draconians stuff and upgrade that, or continue to upgrade what I have?
Currently top hat, famed meteor armor, legendary solar boots, ornate bone shield.
Currently adept, like 10k orns from dragoon or majestic.

28 as a fighter and the tier jump is brutal.


Oh, also the fact that I have gotten a grand total of one loving drop, a cloak, that I can use. Stop giving me thief and mage poo poo holy hell.

^^Just wait til you hit 100. That tier change was painful as gently caress, and I had decent gear for it.

Keep piling on Scruggs. A good top hat, booties, and weapon are the best you'll get for a long while. I've really liked majestic so far, it's worlds better than adept.

I'm not a fan of the monster drops in your tier, there isn't really anything compelling there outside of continuing to search for the troll boss and hoping for a pair of good necklaces.

So, didn't see this in the OP, but there is an option to have the monster levels appear on the world map without clicking every one of them. Enabling that is good and I'm super glad I did it. Built a store at my home and it makes things sooooo much faster. Saving up for battlemaster next and then I'm gonna go back and build everything else

I think I'm a doctor, but that doesn't make me a doctor. This fancy avatar does.
Been playing this about a week and I'm at 86
Started as Mage, then unlocked Archmage and took Apprentice as specialization...is that the recommended way? To just go all in on a type? Or should I do a melee specialization to get myself better physical stats?

Another question:
Anyone else have a quest bug where you meet the requirements but it doesn't recognize it? I have Hermes' Revenge to kill a Bandit Lord, and have liked at least 5 but it still says 0. I have one that had been spawning at my house the past day and I keep killing him but it's not counting...does it have to be in the same area as Hermes'?

I'll add that to the OP.

And it doesn't really matter which route you take. You'll eventually figure out what playstyle you want and go from there. You can't really make a mistake that can't be corrected with time and grinding. And yeah I have a bug similar to that with an NPC.

Is there any way to reset the creatures around your home base? I've been grinding pretty hard almost all day and I'm up to level 90, but I've got like four level 95-100 berserk mobs that just gently caress me sideways if I even step in to the ring with them. Some of them I do literally zero damage to. There is no way I will be able to beat them for a very, very long time.

The only way to do a reset of them is to use an affinity candle. Unfortunately this spawns even harder monsters. You kinda gotta just keep trying to kill them until you gear up. Sleep dart can work wonders.

I just installed this last night and worked my way up to level 10. I finished the first main quest (kill 10 blue slimes or something) and it gave me enough XP to jump to level 18. I certainly didn't expect that kind of progression!

Early progression goes really fast. And finding gear in that time is important.

There's not a lot of stuff around my new apartment, sadly. Work's slightly better, but I'm super low on lumber. I managed to make one shop, get in my 60s, and unlock the Paladin/Rogue. I kind of want to go full caster, but getting some supporting classes first. At least I managed to kill the guardian of wherever I am right now so I own my own little spot of land.

Make sure you set your origin town, you will always own that and it gives you a stat bonus when you are there. Dismantle a bunch of equipment you aren't using for wood. You'll find a lot of it that spawns in the world. Kill the guardian in the exploration tab doesn't give you ownership of the land. You have to kill the player under the Control tab for that. Just keep killing poo poo and moving along, you'll have plenty of everything before you know it.

I cheesed some lv100 lich guardian using sleep darts and poison, so I guess that was just a trial. Yeah, I set my origin town, I just need to get enough stone and wood now for a keep. There's next to no wood/stone spawns here so far, maybe because I'm in a big city. When I was passing through some more rural places there were a lot more. I'm just cruising right now, one more 2-star class nets me a fat 25k orn bonus.

A keep isn't anywhere near as good or necessary as a blacksmith, beastiary, and eventually way more shops. At Max upgrade, all a keep really does is give you 100k a day, and allow you to store followers/equipment. And you should be dismantling any equipment you don't think is cool or that you'd use, anyway.

I didn't realize that the update went live and I burned down dracon while watching TV from 75% health. Sorry! I truly didn't mean to. I just kept tapping attack and then he died. :shobon:

That's fair, my plan was to unlock the tier 2 mage for that fat orns bonus, then grind on further to buy a blacksmith so I can finally get those quests/achievements. There's absolutely nothing in the neighborhood, maybe I'll check the nearby university.

Are pets only available in shops or will I be lucky enough to come across one in the wild?

Edit: Just found the wiki, which explains that Bestiaries are where pets can be acquired. Time to go find one (or save up to build one)

I don't need a chat function to know that I suck. Once you get up to the higher tiers PVP is ridiculous.. can't hurt mages because their gear has high def and res. Mages seem to kick rear end at the higher levels. Everything else takes forever to kill because of ward and healing. It is nice that it gets a lot more complex than just smashing a single attack over and over though.

I'm still at the level where I just hope my sleep dart hits or my Sorrow 2 doesn't get interrupted, and then I win. If either of those 2 happen, I probably lose. If my opponent has a bunch of resists, my mana runs out and I lose. I usually win though, it's dumb that mages get def/res armor while melee only gets def armor, especially since mages also get def/res++ with the druid buff which only debuffs melee damage. I want to switch to melee, but since I'm a Druid now and I absolutely hate charge skills (have to kill a bunch of critters every morning to not hit for 1 damage) I'm probably forced to go Battlemage first just so I don't have to hunt dragons.

A lot of the classes have charge skills higher up. They aren't too bad especially the bezerk/arisen one. Magistrate is time based so you don't have to do anything besides wait a little bit. And yeah being melee with no mana and no res blows, but its really not too bad. The elemental classes have to kill world bosses to charge up which would suck. Doing a regular gauntlet in the morning is a quick way to boost up though.
