Also, they have plummeted in price over the past few months, and I really don't see them going down much further; there really has to be a price floor for them, and I can't imagine it being too much lower. I was thinking I got screwed paying 90,000 for them a few months ago, but running the numbers, they more than paid for themselves. Ham Equity fucked around with this message at 02:09 on Feb 5, 2014 |

I agree the professions could be optimized a lot more but I don't know if the script supports selling items? Platesmithing needs some tweaking due to it filling up slots with extra plate smiths instead of leaving them empty, it results in a lot of Hiring additional miners. I suppose once you're stuffed with miners it won't be a problem since you can swap them to your next character to level up, but I think the first run to level 20 could have plenty of time shaved off.

So PW has just announced that next week will be the week they rotate lockboxes again, and I've been reading around that generally that means tomorrow (Thursday) keys are going to go on sale. I've also seen mention that generally when keys go on sale, the AD->Zen conversion rate goes up. Is this indeed a Thing That Happens, and if it is, is it a good idea to invest some of my liquid AD into Zen and then turn around and reconvert back to AD at a higher price? This is the first time since I've started playing a lockbox switch has occurred, and if it's a good idea that generally pays off I'm not doing anything else with the AD at the moment, and even if it doesn't go up massively, it's still Zen. Also- huge thanks for the updated script. You people are amazing.

Nah, it's not set up to, but the fact that you can do so in the gateway makes me think it'd be possible.

It's possible, but tbh I'm scared of selling some artifact due to a bug in the script. I'm sure things can be optimized, and I've thought about just removing the hiring parts entirely. Manually doing one per slot or whatever doesn't seem that much of a burden. I should probably look over the skill lists at some point, since I just inherited them. If there's a thread consensus on a new default for something, I'm happy to drop it in. Edit: The script currently prefers gather to weave because it doesn't cost anything (no resources). I agree that it's probably not the best thing for Subjunctive fucked around with this message at 20:08 on Feb 6, 2014 |

I've also seen mention that generally when keys go on sale, the AD->Zen conversion rate goes up. Personally, I've taken a long position on Zen at this point; I feel like 330 is a pretty cheap price and dumped ~750,000 AD in them that I'm just holding; I think when something lots of people want goes on sale (like bags of holding or ioun stones), or something that makes a good investment (like keys), I would expect the price of Zen to go up, and I think historically that's held fairly true. You may have to buy and hold at a low point and hold them for awhile to take advantage of it, though. I've only recently started playing the market too much, though, and my crystal ball certainly isn't any better than anyone else's.

I'm OK with leaving the default crafting lists as is and letting the end user at least put a little effort into the script to get what they want out of it; I consider it a pretty small barrier to entry for those wanting their hands off crafting fix, but I've already worked out my own lists so it doesn't impact me either way.

So, Rusted Iron Lockboxes have a chance to drop a container with Leadership assets in them specifically. I don't know if they're planning on making this a permanent part of lockboxes or not, but it certainly explains the sudden drop in Leadership assets prices awhile ago. If the new lockboxes don't contain those leadership assets, I think it's a good bet that Leadership assets are going to climb in value. In any case, they're useful for passive AD harvesting. So, now may be a good time to buy. Or I might be talking out my rear end and not have a loving clue.

AFAIK you can, but I'm not going to bother for the rewards that are being offered. It's not like level appropriate mobs are exactly hard to kill to meet the requirements in the first place, if you're even moderately competent at playing to your class's strengths. I'm just not about to strip off my Regen and Life Steal to keep myself below the 50% HPs needed to get that one box and instead I'll just wait out the timer and pick up the next challenge. Same with the "Drink 10 healing potions" one. I could go buy a stack of lessers to bang through between fights if I were so inclined, but the rewards aren't big enough or me to give that much of a poo poo.

Looking at it, Sub, intensive gather should yield more than normal gather. It's the creating of items in the middle of it all that's a lot faster. 100/hr for intensive, 60/hr for normal. Of course, the making of items means 500ish in 10 minutes each time, so...

Well...wow. So I dinged 60 finally with my first character, and all of a sudden it seems like I have half the map I can now go to and do stuff in- way cool. So first stop was Gauntlgrym during event time, had a bit of fun running around collecting things, but afterwards even though my side won I wasn't high enough GS to get in to any of the dungeons. Okay, no problem. I'm here looking at all these campaign rewards for Sharandar and Dread Ring, I'll head over there and do those zones and get some nice gear to come back and do dungeons. I head to Sharandar, run through the opening quest line, do the first round of dailies...and dear lord, my head is spinning from all the different little tokens and sparks and concoctions and keys and whatnot I'm getting. Is there a guide for the 'end game' process available somewhere, or barring that does someone want to outline the cliff notes version? I am looking at all the T1 and T2 gear and whatnot in the rewards section, and some of it seems like it's purchasable from some of the merchants for a combination of AD + Special tokens, but then there are also the bounty marks I can trade in, and there is the Celestial Coin thing you can get that gives you more Sparks, and I'm just rather confused. I'm just wanting to get a decent set of T1 gear. It looks cool, and I'm hoping it will bump my GS high enough to get in to things, but man my head is about to explode.  It probably didn't help that I marathoned through an all-nighter to ding 60, so if any of this made less than total sense I do apologize in advance. Thanks!

FelixReynolds posted:Well...wow. You should check the AH for cheap, substantial upgrades (there are a lot to be had for low prices). Then, most of your gearing up will be by going through dungeons and Gauntlgrym. Do the dailies and weeklies in Sharandar and the Dread Forge; Dread Forge is a lot more straightforward, but instead of rushing the boons, you should save your resources for the gauntlets. Once you've got Adamantine gauntlets, start going for boons. For Sharandar, there are three areas: each area has four quests, three typical kill/gather/mini-Lair quests, and one Lair. You can only do one total Lair per day. And yeah, there are five different token things you need to unlock poo poo: Vibrant Seedlings/Abjuring Charms/Illyanbruen Blades: you get these by doing daily quests in each of the areas. You'll only be able to get seedlings until you unlock the Charms and Blades areas, which should be your priority. You can only get three of each per day (one for each mission). Eventually, you'll rack up so many seedlings and charms you won't need to keep doing those quests. Presumably, the same with blades, but I haven't gotten to that point yet. Feywild Sparks: This is the main bottleneck to advancement. You get ten for collecting Feywild Crystals each day, and you can get 50 for completing the micro-dungeon you get as a weekly. Always do this. Gold Crescents: you can trade poo poo you pick up off enemies for these, and you get one every time you do a quest in Sharandar, plus 7 for doing the daily Lair. Note that there are three different Lairs, but you can only do one per day unless you want to buy extra keys (you don't want to buy extra keys). Do the one in the first area until you unlock the third area; the one in the second area doesn't get you anything extra, and takes significantly longer to get through. Make sure you get the key from the leprechaun standing outside the Lairs before you go in. You can also spend these things for gear, as you've seen; I don't think most of it is worth it, at least until you've unlocked everything, so don't worry about it for now. For Dread Fort, you've basically got the same deal going on: Vanguard Scrips = Crescents Thayan Scrolls = Feywild Sparks Thayan Cipher = Seedlings/Charms/Blades The difference is that you get the Scrolls for running Lairs instead of for the gather quest that covers everything in Sharandar. Make sure you do your lair quest every day. There's a treasure chest in the lairs that can only be unlocked with a gauntlet, that you craft one of every day. You can upgrade the gauntlet to get better poo poo, and this should be the thing you do first; get to an Adamantine Gauntlet as fast as you can. I can't speak as to how worth it it is, but you can buy Thayan Relic Fragments to get extra Thayan Scrolls on the AH for 3,500 AD; I bought, like, ten just to get to the gauntlet faster (there are Illyanbruen Relics for Sharandar, too, but they cost literally ten times as much). Once you've got your adamantine gauntlet, start unlocking boons. Oh, and you can run two daily Lairs every time you unlock a new gauntlet if you buy another key (5000 AD and some scrips). Upgrading the gauntlet takes twenty hours. You can upgrade it, wait until that's done, craft your current gauntlet, run the lair, then do the upgrade quest and craft the new gauntlet. I generally found it worthwhile, but some people may disagree. Each area also has a dungeon you're going to want to unlock when your gear score is high enough (the dungeon unlock tasks tell you how high that is). Uh... I hope that's reasonably clear. Let me know if you have any questions.
