It's not annoying because it's stealth, it's almost impossible to fail if you stand in the corner near the bed or exit and let the dog walk by, but it's annoying because it takes a long chunk of time. Yorn is just one endless quest where you talk to 1 npc, move 2 inches to talk to a 2nd npc whos replying to the 1st, then you go back to the 1st npc to hear what he has to say after the 2nd npc has spoken, and so on because the game cant handle npcs having a conversation. Seriously they do this about 10 times in the zone its incredibly obnoxious and tedious.

had some good luck with honing, even though the chance is 30%. I spent 65,000 gold over the weekend to help myself get to this point. Also don't forget that this Thursday is another new event that will drop a lot of new honing materials.

Pistoleer is actually really solid, but its more that you never have to stop moving or position yourself to rear end to deeps

The entire point of these events is to make people spend LESS time on the grind because they are far more efficient in rewards:time than anything else in the game.

The consensus seems to be that the newer T3 guardians are a lot more fun, and less of a dick punch so hopefully this event one is more like those. I don’t mind dailies as long as they’re fun and not “spend 10 minutes traveling to press G near 5 villagers”

If you play more than 2 alts you'll have tons of extra event currency and have no reason to run the race at all.

I've run into a situation and was wondering if there's something obvious I'm missing. I hit level 50, and have been working through the Vern quests. I've now hit a point where all plot progression (and all of the dailies etc) require me to have 250 gearscore, which I've got from drops for everything except my hat. I can't seem to have any luck getting one to drop, there's nothing on the AH below 302 (and you need 250 GS to buy those auctions). Is there somewhere that I can just, like, buy a 250 hat? Or am I doomed to run around mapping looking for elites until I get lucky?

I need to get better at making gold in T3, I've bought a lot of the bloodstones this week so I can't afford any more of the Great Honor Leapstones but from smashing my face into honing over and over again my gold supply is basically gone now.

You have to set it up in your book of coordination I believe, just like you do for PvP. So you get a set number of points you can assign to any of your stats and everyone gets the same amount of points. You also get to choose 3 engravings to use and they are maxed out for you at +15.

Also I finished the Astray dailies and ran off to buy the 300k pirate coin quest. Warning! You need to get Blackfang to trusted. No reason to buy this unless you have the rapport (and charisma/courage) for Blackfang. Don't be like me. At least I didn't really have much to spend pirate coins on right now and the event gives you quite a lot of them.

While not totally unexpected, hitting ilevel 600 to open up Yorn, and then having to complete the entirety of the world quest in Yorn to open the new abyss dungeon tier is still veeeeery annoying.

It's also a great thing to do if you're work from home because you don't have to pay attention. I only did this 3-4 times on days where I didn't have much time, but it worked. The other times I would clear 1-2 portals. I've found skipping one portal is good for your sanity. Khorne fucked around with this message at 22:48 on Mar 22, 2022 |

He'll spawn at 7 minutes after you set it 9/10 times. And the other 1/10 it will be slightly later. Tooki island happens to be a good place to farming relics I found while the island is up.

So people keep asking for parties for the short timed events for contribution credit and I think I've started to piece together how these events work. Overall credit for the event is solely determined by speed of completion. This is the bronze to platinum grade that pops up at the end of the quest. So for things like Pull it Together sailing quest, or the bug killing quest on Azure Island, or the various emote quests that pop up in cities, the final grade is determined by how fast it was completed. Several quests don't require total completion to still get bronze for the quest timing out. This means that for this purpose, partying is unnecessary to receive credit for these events. Getting enough credit to be eligible for rewards is indicated by the number of trophy pips that light up in the quest window and its usually pretty simple to max out at three pips. However, several quests do reward partying. For example, the Catching Jellyfish sailing mission has you shooting jellyfish with your ship. If you get credit for a kill on a jellyfish, it drops a coin box for you (1 coin for green, 6 coins for purple). This credit is shared among the party so being in a party of 4 potentially quadruples your coin box rewards for this quest. It's really not that much considering how little coins are in each box, but it doesn't take much to party up either.
