Not sure how I'm gonna go about it quite yet although I have a few ideas and enough 60's to make it be a long , long time before Core will be killing any dragons harder than a +6 WW.


I hope it was worth it. I know this is gonna be fun for me but perhaps not you.

There are named dragons in Western Wastes that can drop a neck with x on all stats and resists. +4 dragons drop necks that give 4 to all stats and resists, and can be solo'd by, say, a torpor shaman, while +6 dragons are harder to kill and require some kind of group effort.

Core is a cool group of friends looking for other cool people who want to raid in our party guild. Nothing sexual. Dudes in good shape encouraged. If you are fat you should be able to find humor in the little things. Again, nothing sexual.

Well hell. I guess old Tumnus is just a loverman by trade.
So I rolled a warrior back in 2014? and got him to the teens, then lost interest. Got the bug recently, dusted him off and saw the server has advanced past Kunark, so I was able to get a Sword of Skyfire and Green Jade Broadsword which basically catapulted my effectiveness WAAAAY past the Langseax I was using beforehand.

However, aside from those two things I'm just wearing Bronze armor. What are some good value stat items to aim for whenever I'm passing through EC? I just don't have a ton of money. For example, I scored one of the 4ac/45hp rings for 100p, perfect and in my budget, going straight to the 5/55 was too pricy.

What else should I aim for?

This is from a few pages back, but in terms of straight money farming, you can always do Paineel skeleton guards. You'd need to do some faction work in the Warren's to get in, but the guards are relatively easy and drop fine steel.

Take a night off from leveling, bind yourself in OT, and port from the ramp. You will make at least 500p a night.

If you can manage to secure the ancient croc spawn, that is really great, if not boring, money. If you take a 34 mage there you can really clean up in levels

In defense of the Paladin - At least it's not a ranger. Stuns work great for snap threat and while they don't bring anything as game changing as Feign Death is to SKs they still are generally fairly useful to have in your pocket. Bonus points if you have both a Paladin and SK where SK can focus on pulling, bring it over to the Pal, FD and then wander off to find something else to pull while the party gets their murder on.

I actually think Paladins and Shadowknights are cool, but they're not good and abandoning druid to play paladin is going from the least desired priest class to the least desired melee.

Druids at least have a lot of utility and are good at certain non-raid roles (farming for example).

but hey, play what you like :)

DeathSandwich

Calling a paladin the last desired melee is kind of a stretch. Like I said, it's not a ranger. Maybe least desired tank, though that's situational. You need a Warrior for cutting edge and raid stuff, but for general purpose exping I'd normally take a paladin over a Warrior given equal skill and gear. Ultimately I'd want a SK over either, but that's not always an option.

I always wanted to play a Warrior, but I was always a poor who couldn't afford on-equip haste and Regen let alone all the other gear you need to not have a miserable time (jboots, gate potions, good proc weapons, ect)

IIRC it's the dragons in western wastes that drop the +6 to all stats neck pieces. Specifically not the first brood ones you need for keys (those are +7 I believe). Their gear isn't as good as first broods, but I think there are some choice pieces that sell really well.

Druid is an incredibly powerful class if you play it correctly: as a charmer, rather than as a healer.

I mean, ports and evacs are kewl. The only evac the rogue has costs about 400plat to recharge for a one shot.

Playing a porting class throws off your world view. Everything is so much closer since you have a built port.

But on the flip, it's not hard to get the rogue epic which solves the mainhand dmg and haste solution.

The only thing you can improve mainhand dmg is from ToV or .... I think primal??

It does indeed. Although my fish killer died twice until their skills were at level.

Waiting for a boat to get to OOT was probably the bulk of the time spent.
