Have fun!
I'm looking at some of the Rogue crafted stuff that's listed on page 50. I got the Hardened Bow (Rugged? The tanking one) already. Can anyone in the guild make that stuff, and if so, what do you need/want from me for it?

DPS stuff is priority as I learn my way around the experts before I try to tank them.

I will say this - Rift is drat pretty. I loved the Temple of Thronic and surrounding zone, and the experts are unique. But man, some of those boss mechanics...WoW spoiled me, because I'm used to killing a heroic boss in 30-40 seconds.

I'm proud to say I've wasted my life for weeks I am level 60 now and I'm rocking the 61 Warlock build pretty solidly for DPS. I wanted to look into taking on a second or third role for support during actual guild-y poo poo. I have still yet to buy SL souls, although I may feel much more generous this Christmas season, if it is an absolute necessity to get on everyone else's level.

Otherwise.... I'm looking into maybe a Archon/Chloro build. I don't know when this was made, but if anyone can tell me whether its viable, that'd be great. Recommendations welcome.

Edit: the Archon/Domi/Pyro from the op might be a better option

I'm enjoying this game, for all that it's a WoW clone. I'm lvl 35 now and seem to wind up playing a chloromancer in IAs most of the time - it's fun for a healing spec and I don't feel gimped damage wise.

It gets even better at 60. The spec is downright broken.

It's not a necessity for a mage. Harb is a nice melee dps soul, but there are ranged options like warlock, pyro, or necro. For support, go full archon and don't try to hybridize it too much. I think Abu has a pyro/archon hybrid and full archon, but full archon is used most of the time. And make a 61 chloro to have just in case it's needed for a fight.

Warlock is broken at moment, specifically Defile not working quite right, mostly fixed on test, patching "soon". Then it'll be usable again.
Pyro or Necro for DPS souls, chloro (with Dom for silence/reflect or Necro for max sp), full archon and and pyrochon (pyro/archon) for support. Full Dom for the odd AoE action or PVPing.

There are generally two acceptable hybrid specs these days: Harbichon and Pyrochon. Harbichon is for super specific scenarios (speed running 10 mans, for example) and Pyrochon is best in either 10 mans or 20 mans with a Beastmaster. Without the beastmaster you want to go 51 archon at least.

Eltoasto posted:

We've had a beastmaster pretty consistently lately which means pyrochon works out well. If you're interested in playing archon at all I highly recommend having both 51/x and 40/36 (pyrochon) and knowing the differences (fairly minor) between the two. 61 archon is only useful in a few very minor situations, so only grab that if you have a free soul slot.

Looks pretty darn fun though. My char is a Mage (I figured Pyro looks interesting and eventually I'll look at Chloro as I'm typically a healer/support kind of player).

That doesn't do anything to solve the problem!

Also in case you haven't seen my UI:



I don't think I have an unused sidebar issue :colbert:

vvv No the issue isn't that I can't find my recalls, it's that I subconciously go out of my way to go click them even after hiding them from myself.

It's bizarre.

I found a mod that puts all recalls in one place, I moved mine to the very top right so I don't even need it on my tool bar. Its called uh... Teleporter. I found it pretty handy when I started getting all the "Teleport to..." and "Summon" icons. Might help some people who have issues.

As per my post on pg 138, we're most active from 6pm-9pm PST as that is our raiding time (to accomodate est and pst players), though I do know that there are quite a few west coasters who stick around afterwards. There's mostly always someone online so you shouldn't be without people to play with.

That's usually around when I play too, so far I haven't grouped with any goons, but that's more due to the active players being weighted towards level 60. I'm level 23 right now as Malizel, some duo action would be cool if we're on at the same time.

Currency limitation and auction house restrictions are taken away when you reach the first milestone of loyalty, pretty sure buying a patron pass will be enough loyalty to get there. People who own the original box get a couple bag slots and character slots, that's basically the only thing that having the original box gets you. And the storm legion expansion gives you the souls if you bought it then. Otherwise, nothing in the game is gated for F2P. Those other unlocks would need to be purchased in the store. You could either just buy them, or save up plat, buy rex, and use those credits.

Our prime time is ~6-9 server (which happens to be our raid time). We can have anywhere from 10 to 30 people online during that time. Other times of day there are usually people on, but holidays usually see a slump (and we're in the middle of one now).

I just started playing this yesterday after hearing about it for some time but never having played it. It's pretty cool. I really like the set up with the souls of the dead being used to bring warriors back to life to do battle with eldritch beings from beyond the stars. The conflict between the Guardians and the Defiant on top of that is pretty neat too. I decided to roll with your standard "stab people in the back" rogue and I'm having a blast. I'm having one problem though. I have the Assassinate and Incapacitate abilities which are supposed to be able to be used from stealth mode (if I'm understanding everything correctly) but when I go to stealth mode all my abilities are gone from quickslot toolbar and all I can do is just walk around invisible. Is there something I'm missing?

Also, I looked around a little bit but didn't find much. but are there any mods that clean up the UI? The default one is really cluttered I think and its hard to read my quest log on the right side of the screen. Something that adds more quickslot toolbars would be cool too because just getting to level 7 already filled it up. I know theres multiple "pages" to the toolbar but having to click that tiny button and flip between them is really annoying.

Sorry about that! If you post your character name here, someone will send you a guild invite. You don't have to be online to get it, they go to your in-game mailbox if you're not around. This is probably the best way to find out what the population is like when you normally play. I play between 6 and midnight PST and the guild is generally pretty active, for what it's worth.

:frogsiren: If anyone is interested in the Fae Yule mount/pet achievements and has the 80 or 160%xp vials(you can redeem them in your loyalty section or are in your mailbox on new characters titled "a gift for you") then someone has created a nifty guide on the official forums:

Guide: How to farm your fae yule stuff in less than 10 minutes
Hi all,

here is a small guide how you can farm dark ice bells and fae yule grab bags in under 10 minutes, without spending any credits or plat.

All you need is:
a free character slot
one 80% or 160% booster on your new toon (e. g. patron compensation or orange loyalty mini bonus), maybe it will also work with 40% but I am not sure about that
the tempest insignia from the blue loyalty tier or a friend that can summon you

Played a bit more today, switched from the warrior I started yesterday to a Chloromancer. I've just been letting the game decide how to spend my points (I assume I can change it all around later once I hit the big city).

Hit level 15 doing random quests and events that popped up around me, and it's more fun to me than the warrior was. Still not sure how much I'll play the game long term though, but then again, free, so who knows.

Is there a member cap on the guild, should I ask for an invite if I'm not even sure I'll keep playing past the next couple of days of vacation?

Mage character name is Deavenificus.
