You can't just farm an expert.

The mage formerly in my guild who ran it 19 times in less than a week would like to disagree. I think the trick is to get 4 people to manually queue it and random queue at exactly the same time but he wanted his scalpel so badly.

Also how are there 3 bosses to dislike in archive? Archive has some of the coolest flavor ever plus you get to fight Murdantix i mean Tzul.

So when that trinket was released it only gave you a shield for 5 seconds ON EQUIP. Might have almost been disenchanted because dreaming stars were worth more at the time but I think Morek still has his :v:.

I was reading they'd have alternate upgrade paths for stat sets somewhere though, maybe.

Does anyone have any idea if there is an addon somewhere with a map of artifact spawns?

There's way, way, way too many artifact spawn points for that. Nevertheless, I think Rasselbock posted a map showing a lot of artifact hot points earlier. Also someone is trying to make one, but it's not releasing until it's got a lot more data, there's a thread about it in the official forums add-on section.

The best way to find artifacts is to go "Where would an absolute rear end in a top hat put a shinie?" In a torch so that the flames cover up the shinie? Yes. Up on a mountain that you won't find unless you are climbing your way up to a cairn and fall down? You bet your rear end there's gonna be like three shinies there. Along the outside of the second story hedge-maze wall in Silverwood? :argh:

I mean, I love the 3rd and last boss of the dungeon, those mechanics are great. The second boss isn't so bad either what with the eating of his own creations or whatnot. The first boss is horrible since no tank seems to know what to do, and the fourth is, as vandee put it so nicely, :catdrugs:.

I don't mind running it, and it might finally give me a reason to nail down my tempest rotation since I never seem to want to learn it in a real boss situation. I feel like I'm just complaining for the sake of it so I'll shut up about my stupid problems. On that note, I haven't been reading a lot of the information on the f2p change. For those of us who still want to subscribe to RIFT, is that still possible? Or is it that I would just have to "purchase a patron pass" every month? Is there a big infodump I can go read about this? The F2P page on their site doesn't give all the info I'm looking for.

That's why you queue as healer and if more than two people die to flooding two pulls in a row you quit.

(I say this as someone who has messed up flooding himself)

Hey Machai, nice writeup on the guild bank exploit.

Like holy crap who found that one out on the PTS and kept it to themselves @_@.

The rest of the thread is pretty awful.

Guild bank exploit? I saw there was a hotfix that said Guild banks were reenabled or whatever, but didn't look at it too much other than that.

Is it 39 Expert marks to upgrade all of the trinkets (specifically, the Spectral Hand)? I'd hop on the PTS to check but I had to clean-install Windows yesterday due to a hard drive failure.

Now I'm really regretting spending 100+ marks on blue tank gear for a stupid bug. :argh:

That'll teach me to neglect tank gear! Guess I need to farm some daily experts again (sitting at an anemic 19 marks right now :qq:)!

What the... :ohdear:. It better be only cosmetics on launch like DotA chests (the apparently low stats do point to this at least). And of course NOBODY posts how that stuff looks :argh:.

On Friday, I jumped on the PTS and opened a few with Loracia and Tsu. It's all superbullshit stuff, stuff you won't want. Save your credits for wardrobe slots (they get expensive, 400 credits per slot for the last 10 or so).

I have a feeling that the Deeps crates aren't quite itemized yet. Those crates are big moneymakers for f2p games and no doubt they will end up with unique mounts/pets/cosmetic gear in them.

Just got the Raptr pet code. I don't really like pets all that much so.... email me at kreczor@gmail if you want to discuss maybe trading it for something in-game or if I'm feeling generous I may just hand it out.

I started playing again with the free weekend, is there any UI setting that could possibly reduce the eye strain I get from playing this game for more then 15 minutes at a time? I had that problem too when I last played but it's gotten a lot worse now.

Try turning off fullscreen effects (bloom specifically), that gives me a headache when everything is slightly/massively GLOWING.

If that doesn't help, try zooming the camera back from your character for a wider field of view.
