Just hit my first MSQ cockblock at 56.5. As a DRK, is my best/fastest/least painful bet just to keep running The Aery, or should I go do fates/sidequests instead?

Or go play another class or something because :suicide:

How are the new crafting/gathering leves? I was reading that going from 50-52 is like the big hump that's hard to get past. So I thought it might be easier if I just power through those two levels with leves.

As far as i can tell you should just ignore leves past 50 and just do collectables. Though I've only tried fisher so far.

I wish there were more dialog options. After Thordan dumpsters Lahabrea and gives his little speech I wanted there to be an option for your PC to be able to give him a thumbs up. "Ya whatever man, your plan sounds good"
I like that they've taken the time by and large to make understandable villains.

Making the stuff isn't cheap, 1 leve is worth about 3 collectibles and sometimes they're even the same item.

GC turn ins can be hilarious though, I've personally gotten 800k exp out of a single one, and I've seen people post numbers like 1.2 mil exp.

Do your roulettes every day, that's like 40% of a lvl a day. The side quests arn't that bad either.

Once you get *all* of them to max you get to do a super quest where they all team up. Which is great, and I think about 9 people in the planet have seen because you have to level all the tribes and I'm never going to loving do that.

If you think calling me names is gonna get a rise out me, think again. I like my life as an idiot!
So if my math is correct, if you are starting at zero rep with the four combat beast tribes (Kobold, Sahagin, Sylph, and Amal'ja), it will take you 45 days to max them out if you do all 12 quests per day.

10 days for the first rank (doing the only three quests you have, 5 rep each)
18 days for the second rank (only doing second tier quests, 7 rep each)
17 days for the third rank (only doing third tier quest, 10 rep each)

That doesn't seem too bad. Before you were looking at 100 days overall. (20 days on first tier (working two tribes at a time), 40 days on second tier (ten days per tribe), 40 days on third tier (10 days per tribe)).

If you only take the highest tier quests and work on several at once you rank them all up several days faster.

GROSS BOY

I just unlocked Dragoon just yesterday, and ever since then my off-GCD skills have been interacting differently in that they constantly break the queue of actions I want to input and now I have a very short cooldown on my GCD skills when I use them. I could have sworn that didn't happen before. What gives?

Bad news, there isn't one with that name. Good news, there is a quest in the 3.0 MSQ series that references the inanimate carbon rod in its name. (At least, I choose to believe that's what they were going for.)

It's a waste of TP, now, except in extremely niche circumstances. I dumped it and now run with Protect, Mercy Stroke, Bloodbath, Stoneskin, and Foresight.

That's exactly how I charted that. Only top tier quests. You just do three quests for all four tribes a day. It's 45 days. That's the fastest you can do it. If you do anything less than the three highest quests, you're wasting time.

Ah I misunderstood then, yeah this is right. When they first came out I generally zerged one of them to be the first to get something (like the bomb chair) but I knew this meant it'd make maxing rep take longer.

Also in case anyone didn't know, there's a quest chain you unlock for maxing all of them. It's very interesting.

Yeah, I only ever maxxed out Ixal. Never touched Amalj'aa or Kobolds. Just about to hit rank 2 in Slyphs and just barely hit rank 2 in Sahagin. Should save me a few days, but I'm still looking at a good 35-40 days to max.

Why Protect? In any situation where you'd actually need it, someone else will have it.

Saves healer mana and GCDs having to recast it after ressing someone (because Proshell is baked into the ability now).
