Ranger bros, what is the skill he's using to dash forward super quickly? I've read and re-read my skill tree and scoured online but can't find anything. Was it a skill taken out after the beta?

I just wish there was a way to animation skip the amity game. I have to regularly play both the blacksmith in Heidel and Velia for Taritas/Agerian armor and that means buying 8 pieces of armor from each.

Combos
Some topics have combos, and they will say poo poo like 'After 5 turns, reduce Favor level by 5 for 2 turns'

This means that when that NPC is visited I'll say, on the minigame it starts it's combo. After 5 more topics, the NPC will have his favor decreased by 5. What this means is that your topics that are being affected by the combo now can generate more favor as the NPC's is lower. So you can do poo poo like stack combo bonuses and hit them with a ton in the last few stages.

Combos are denoted by a blue line between the initiating topic and the one's they will affect.

Oh sonofabitch. I thought the reduced favour applied to the NPC you were talking about, and was a penalty :ughh:

I actually like the amity game BUT they really need to get rid of the goddamn reverse circle wheel and just list all the knowledges you have at the bottom with their numbers right on their faces. Talking to a new person and spinning through that poo poo and memorizing faces is dumb and also annoying.

Every goon, make sure you have 2 free Contribution for matchlocks. I have been shown the light, matchlocks can be used to murder AFK fishermans for a pittance of karma. They were being drowned by the dozens last night.

This is going to get people very very mad at us. It must be done. :toot:

The amity minigame is for people who care entirely too much about how much a fake video game NPC likes them.

There are probably people who are obsessed with making the loli girl trader NPC in that munchkin people village like them and oh god I need to drench my brain in turpentine.

It is me, I am this person (but only because raising your amity with trade NPCs gives you more chances in the bargaining minigame).

Friends, I think I'm down to the 4 digits of karma from committing mass assault and murder in the flotillas last night.

We also met the BillMurray guild last night. They had the #1 and #4 ranked fishermen for Velia O1. They were actually pretty cool and respected the fish and wildlife enforcement action.

I still can't believe I'm still playing, 3 weeks in. Every spare moment has been spent adventuring or doing crafting and trade.

I found out yesterday that we still get xp and skill points from crafting activities. So the past 2 weeks of crafting hasn't gimped my character.

I think the problem is nobody here really knows how that minigame works (including me).

Something tells me the same amity convo won't work multiple times. Which you know, ugh.

Each game I played I found optimal combo within first few tries, and then just blasted my way through them, having only to deviate on "N successive fails" objective.

Bit late for that now if he's already spent the money. But imo this is the only MMO that's caught me since WoW/Eve, and it has enough of the features of both to keep me interested.
