If you're saying EVE has a grind but of a different type that makes it so you literally can never catch up to someone that started playing before you did, you're right no way to say that without sounding snarky or bitter.

edit: incorrect use of literally

Edit, yes that would be one of a number of things I could say about the PVP in EVE, or EVE as a game in general. I personally found it to be a terrible game. Some people like it and I do wish that every MMO could transplant EVE's player economy.

So apparently. A cleric can solo Exodus and power level someone from 10 - 50 in about 2 hours.

If anyone needs such a service, Send me a tell on my cleric and ill pass you to the dude who Power Leveled me tonight.

I would think that upto 30ish the initial event in KB would be king XP, specially since you can reset it and start it immediatelly. And GF has more easy-to-reset trash.

Has anything interesting been added in the last couple of months? Have they at all bothered with making PVP more fun and less grindy? I don't care about PVE/RAID stuff at all.


Edit: Just looked on the RIFT PVP forums :negative: and was honestly surprised to see the majority of people saying that PVP is dead and buried which is quite the change. So that answer that.

Trion just doesn't care. They've continually poo poo on their PVP player base even though from what I can tell it has actually grown considerably since the steam release. A few of the devs seem to hold a pretty strong grudge towards pvp in general so I don't think they have any interest in adding new content at all even though it's pretty obvious to everyone that constantly neglecting the PVP aspect of Rift for a very long period of time has been bad for business because a lot of people who have been around for awhile are getting fed up and quitting. It's still fun, but don't expect them to add any new content at all for PVP in the future.

The promotion for Well-Spun Hats ended >2 years ago so they might be on the rare side now. I have no idea how much one would be worth now though.

It gives you (or whoever you sell it to) this thing:


If it still works, there's a "redeem code" thing in account management somewhere.

So I'm confused by the whole raid token thing since I haven't raided, and I think I'm gonna try for Monday so I can burn off a Greater Token Tablet on top of 9 expert finishes that haven't been turned in. What drops Slayers Marks and what drops Frozen Eclipse Stones?

T1 raids drop slayers marks as well as a small quantity of FES. T2 stuff is only FES.

e: To be extra clear, FT/EE/TDQ/IDH are primarily marks. IG/PBB/GA are only FES.

There tend to be a dozen or so people on in guild when I've looked, more in primetime.

I made it to level 40 at release, then never played it after that. Today I stepped foot into Shimmering Sands at level 43, officially advancing beyond both the level, and zones I made it in beta/release. There was a world event there shortly after I arrived, and the mobs were all level 50 elites. I might have died a bit. Or slightly more than a bit.

fyi since I don't think I was clear a week or two ago when I mentioned this offhandedly: I'm going to be pretty busy off and on for the next couple of weeks. I should be around for GA + Reg/progression, but it's not 100% guaranteed if I have more family stuff crop up or end up flying out of town for an interview again. Hopefully will be back to normal by the end of January, but that really depends on jobs, etc.
