If you were going to do a farming train type deal you're better off doing glass quests, with speed and dps you can do all 4 stygia quests in about 15 minutes and its about 900g per person for all 4. So 5.4p per run if you do 6 clients.

Nice. Didn't know about those. Thanks for the tip.

Was probably going to go bard, druid, and a bunch of pbaoe. Would that be effective for those quests? Not sure what they have you do.

For glass quests, you will probably want an Enchanter (full mana) + Bard (high nurture for the heal proc/AF buff) + Druid (buffbot). You could sub in an Animist instead of the Enchanter, but Animists won't be as good at farming other things.

That said, you could also just join someone else's glass group, since the quests give group credit and there is pretty much no reason not to fill groups.

Sorry for not being around! Work finally calmed down a bit, but I bought Xenoblade last week and have been playing that. Please make sure to blame Ora if you see him around. I'll check in tomorrow night if anyone has crafting they need done - just catch me in game. E-mail me the order if you don't want to post your full template!

Finally finishing up that crafting guide within the next few days, too. :)

Hey this is Splahterhouse.

Just to let you guys know I am playing on the mid side for a bit with a few other cult people. Guild name is Tasty Treats, my main is Metaslugh.

You guys are super fun and I plan on bouncing back and forth, its just been really slow in Hib and I wanted to try something different.

Admit it, you never really left anyway.

Ive been so drat busy with work the last 2 weeks that I seem to have missed a mass Hib exodus or something. Not just in the Cult but as a realm in general. Did something happen or are people just doing the normal cycle of boredom of 1 realm and playing in one of the others?

Hibs got owned pretty hard for a few weeks in a row. Just the usual cycle of people getting frustrated. :)

I'm updating the list of players if anyone else wants to be added for Midgard/Albion! Also, for you Culties who are playing around in Mid at the moment, would any of you be able to make a class post for Mid classes? We can link to it from the OP like we did with the Hib post.

Can anyone help me out with an easily obtainable Spiritmaster template? Daoctemplates is no longer maintained, and vn is crap since the revamp.

I don't mind farming glass, but scales are super annoying because everyone in the group doesn't get the item at the same time, and you get the random gank squad now and then.

Oh and hi Pringles! Do you still have those old TPG rvr videos? I always liked them and wouldn't mind watching them again.

I've looked high and low for those videos, I can't find them. I believe they are lost. I've tried getting in contact with Divon, but can't find him. Only thing I managed to scrounge up was an old screenshot of deathspam from us rolling around DF for a few hours.

Unless youre a Kobold, youre playing Skald wrong. :colbert:

I think most people will be hopping between realms so its probably not worth selling your stuff. You will need glass anyway for MLs/arts which should give you enough plat to get most of a template up and going.

I am keeping my hib stuff. Stuff on mid is quite a bit more expensive but unless you template your first 50 with haloween stuff *cough scoodles* it shouldn't be an issue.

I've done decent starter temps for my shaman and hunter just with the proceeds from glass groups and a bit of help from the guild for bounty point items and some glass so I can phase shift and make people throw keyboards at their screen.

If you're not too attached to your account, you could just make a new account and you get 2 free weeks instead. You'll be 50 and templated within a week. Then you get a free week to play and decide if you want to continue or not.

The Ywains are linked so it doesn't matter one bit what server you pick, and no you can't really search for people/guilds anymore as the herald doesn't have that information anymore.

The only thing the server you choose makes a difference with is the housing zone, honestly. And yeah, why Mythic thought it was a good idea to get rid of the Herald - arguably one of the most nostalgic parts of the game for vets - is mind boggling.

Think i'm done with mid and probably the game for now. Got diablo 3 coming out soon anyway.

Mid had some fun classes but i couldn't find pugs for the life of me in bg's/rvr/labby and the few ml10 raids advertising for shamans straight up ignored me.

Hib seems to have a bit more of a chill community, could have just been my bad luck midside though. Only so many times you can login, spam lfg/region, then go try soloing and get rolled by duo's/high rr's before you give up.

The tasty treats people were cool, but that was about it in my experience.
