Well, I found the sweet spot for missions. Go to Lush Hills and save there-- the save point is right near a grid entrance, a bank terminal, and a mission roller, and the Lush Hills grid point is near many others.

Then open your planetmap and start rolling missions, looking for ones in Galway County. There's a spot in Galway with a bunch of small hills with water flowing down them north of the grid-in point just past a player city with many caves and such-- you can roll a bunch of missions and get them located in just that area, then do 3-4 at a time. It's literally two minutes of running to and from the grid entrance.

If I was a Froob, I'd go Omni without reservations. The EXTREME EVIL presentation in Shadowlands grates at me. What the Hell goes into that kind of thinking anyway? "I don't think our game's story is shallow enough, let's make one side cavort with demonic aliens and responsible for the near-genocide of the human race."

It doesn't really matter for gameplay, but I'm the sort of nerd that cares about the story.

Did you read the lead-up fiction story about AO? The whole Omni thing came from people who wanted to live forever. Has a lot of shades of the Dune prequels.

Its been years since I read Prophet, but my recollection is.

1) The Omega received alien nanotech from the Unredeemed and became immortal.
2) They then decided to destroy civilization and nearly wipe out the human race. Because.
3) They then emerge from their caves after thousands of years to enslave the crude remnants of mankind. Because.
4) A Redeemed eugenics experiment produces a messiah who Does Stuff and overthrows the Omega.
5) The surviving Omega create Omni-Tek. This new corporation displays unusual competency with Omega technology, but nobody seems to care.

It's very possible I've forgotten details that make this seem less silly.

I wasn't using it as an example of a great literary work, it just gives a lot of words to the "yup, we're bad guys. baaaaaad guys" that Omni is supposed to be.

I don't know if I've already said it, but if you guys need anything on RK1, my Fixer is named Emilin. I am a buff totem.

med suit and trenchcoat

Predator pieces are pretty nice, if you can find them cheap. Farming them is as option but drop rate is terrible.

edit: I don't know what parts of alien tank armor cost now but they were pretty cheap a year ago so look them up. It ought to be wearable at 100, I think.

Ah, hm. I'm not very familiar with melee weapons but FBR is still okay, isn't it? You need 125 to enter IS though.

It's pretty easy to get. If you happen to get 125 before my free month runs out, I'll help you grab it (and other IS stuff if you want, can't solo Hezak though).

What I need now is some badass implants-- I got my hands a QL140 Kyr'Ozch Sword and some Type 880 biomaterial. Yes, the Type 112 is easier to fit, but the 880 isn't that much harder.

It's possible to get into QL200 implants as early as level 100 if you twink hard enough.
If not possible, go for QL180, get 30 more levels and switch to QL200. Use Auno implant designer, find out what you need, get them and toss em to a tradeskiller.

Honestly, you should be wearing Predator at level 80-90ish already, and it'll last you until your 130-150's, when you can swap it for the Dark Ruins gear.

I have a couple generals. Not sure if Troxadveh still plays, I'll see if I can track them down though. I can be around this evening to hand out a couple promotions, I'd also be up for doing some aliens with any of my characters.

I can check, but I think 150 is rare as hell and you're better off going with a slightly lower QL until you can wear a 200.

Hitting up AO Pocket (I don't play, but I still know where to find this stuff) the QL 150 is classified as Very Rare.

You're probably going to have to make due with either the 110 or the 160.

The 110 and 150 both drop off of the Noxious Minx pocket boss. Blueprint parts drop in the NE Necropolis in Lower Scheol.

The 160 drops off of the Mephitic Minx. These blueprint parts drop in the Ergo Necropolis in Lower Scheol.

Work on collecting stuff for Keeper 1st tier armor is going well. I only need a few more things:

And of course the Ocra/Roch insigs, but I found a place in Ely I can farm them.

In Jobe, down the stairs and to the left there is a door you can go through that will take you to the market, and you can portal from there to Jobe platform and then Rome. I haven't done it in so long thats about as specific as I can get.

Jesus, reading the posts made by AO devs on their forums makes me wonder if it isn't just a team of 13 year olds over there. Who the gently caress says "OH HAI". People that should get punched in the face, that's who.
