When I was a dumb idiot teenager with no clue how to progress without banging my head against rhinomen and robots in the desert, I was spending a lot of IP on grenade to use the HSR Hedgehog 23 Throwing Grenade. It was a button to do more damage, in a time before we had the special attacks from Shadowlands.

How is grouping nowadays? The reason i stopped playing was because when my doc hit 216 they nerfed inferno missions so that they no longer needed docs, so i went from getting instant teams any time i wanted to never getting teams any more.

Actually, if you're really really lucky you can find one of these in a crate in a mission. The drop rate is vanishingly small though.

Also, if you have SL, you may wish to check out symbiants; some of them are a lot better than implants depending on your level. If you havn't done the syndicate brain quest, see if you can find someone to help you with it, it's very much worth having.

Ineptitude posted:How is grouping nowadays? I don't see any sane group doing 220 hard inferno missions and refusing a doc. Even though doc isn't mandatory for those, one makes it a hell of a lot safer. 220 easys though, yea... if you don't have proper weapons then a doc would be dead weight since the 220 dude who pulled the mission is most likely hogging all aggro and doesn't need heals for it. Docs are still worth their weight in gold for all the loot oriented high end group content though. Raids? Check. Inf dynas? Check. DB instances? Check. Quest lines like DB? gently caress yes please come please don't leave me please I'll kill myself. Alb? Check. Alappaa? Check. Dreads? Check. etc etc. e: Also, I'd like to note that there are now many high exp daily quests. You could hit 220 without ever grouping. For daily quests you got; PvP daily in Borealis. Doesn't include PvP, one of the selectable missions is simply tower targeting at tower field. Solo PvM daily in Rome. Trivial. "Group" PvM daily in Rome. At high level you can select a daily for killing prisoners in Milky Way. Again, trivial. Alien daily solo or group mission in Rome. Great alien exp on that, easy ride to alien level 30. DOJA chip daily in SL. DOJA chips are drops from certain mobs in SL, turned in at Jobe Research. (I don't know where clan dailies are from. Rome is where you pick up Omni ones.)

QL 125 implants would give 135. Small amounts you can always trickle by buffing intelligence, sense and... I dunno, whatever the treatment attributes were.

The daily mission I run every day is in Old Athens just down from the hill. There is even a sign pointing to it that reads "Clan Missions" or something close to that. I run that every day and get a level every other day. The one it had me on yesterday sent me all over creation to hand out leaflets... Takes maybe 20 minutes by grid and whompa, and be careful when you cross sides to get those bards

Gave that a shot and I'm not even close to being able to do it. Skill requires 567 on a QL 125 cluster. Plus, I have a few clusters higher then that so It could end up needed 600 ish NP.

Fewd posted:QL 125 implants would give 135. Small amounts you can always trickle by buffing intelligence, sense and... I dunno, whatever the treatment attributes were. This is a very important piece of information, that is often overlooked. On my Engineer I need Matter Creation and Time and Space to cast the highest robot. Those skills are affected mostly by Intelligence, but also a little by Stamina and Agility. IT may seem crazy but I try and keep those skills maxed even though they are blue, and I can squeeze into a new robot all the quicker. To check the stats that make up a skill just click on it and look at the bottom description. For example Treatment is 50% Intelligence, 30% Agility and 20% Sense. There are a ton of things that can boost treatment. I just looted and then sold a QL200 docoholics ring the other day. I don't have a lot of equipment that can help, but I do try and keep at least one med suit that can be lent out. While we are on the subject of obtainable items, the most important one that everyone can acquire is the clan token board. http://auno.org/ao/tokenboards.html Max that out as soon as you can! IT's amazing what that thing gives for stats at the end. I know the sub version was recently augmented to add even more, and it is very nice to work on while you are doing missions anyways. The tokens can also be farmed, but I don't remember where I did that...

We must have someone with that skill. I will check back when I get home and see how you made out. If we need it, I can just bump up my NP on my MA. I think its up to 400 on its own... I have a million unused skill points right now, so not a bad idea to bring it up a couple hundred levels. Weren't we just talking about wasting points?

Man, this game almost ruined my degree back when I was a student. Did lots of tower fights, was raiding The Beast, hit the credit cap, had maxed tradeskills etc. Good times! Could be fun to play a little casually again. Back when I played (Shadowlands and the start of Alien Invasion) you were pretty much screwed if you played Trader for example. Also, so classes like Bureaucrat where really boring and useless, except for leveling where everyone wanted one in their group. Some classes also couldn't solo anything. How is the class balance now?

Tai posted:Dunno what that means but yes you should! Title Capped means that you have maxed out the IP that is possible to place in a skill until your next "title". You could also think of these as what "tier" your character is in. Every time you level up your skills increase in cap, up to a certain point in that "title". For example you are leveling a soldier, every level your assault rifle skill cap increase by 5 points, letting you spend your IP to increase assault rifle 5 times. However, at level 11 you can no longer place any more IP in assault rifle until you hit the next title at level 15, at which point the caps start increasing again. In this title your skills cap at around 35. If i recall correctly you got a new title (and increased caps in all skills) at level 15 (caps at 35), 50 (caps at 70ish), 100 (caps at 125ish), 150 (caps at 165), 190 and 200 (your caps increase for every level after 200, but you dont get a new title every level) The good thing about this is that you can with good conscience place IP in skills that are less useful or that you don't see any immediate benefit from (For example the map skill) without feeling that you aren't growing at your full potential. The rule of thumb when i played was to max your abilities every level, then your weapon skill, then treatment, then all the initiatives, then filler skills. You can also save up IP for the next title but this isn't very useful as you get more IP for a levelup the higher level you are, and skills cost more IP to level up the higher they are.
