KILL ALL HUMANS

DisgracelandUSA posted:

Crypt is also cake if you can get a picker to let you in. Farm hierophant's cloaks for days.

Howling stone is dicey but can be done. I guess if it isn't swarmed by necros?

Crypt can be good. The rear end in a top hat golems CH unless you keep hiero positioned in the far corner (he runs, lol). Bigly pp, but its a pain to enter/exit, the loot is lore, and a pocket cle is almost necessary. Protip: shrink+eyeball = no locked doors ever again.

HS is my jam for leveling. Did the sham to 60 in there and just finished the necro to 60 in there. But I dont farm pp there on the sham… not that you cant/shouldnt, I’m just lazy and ng/velk is so easy on the sham.
HS South cubby is my money spot on the necro tho…

Curious about this one because I’ve seen others mention it. Where does the money come from? I guess those things drop gems at a decent rate?

NG bugs drop gems and vendor trash like crazy. Black sapphire, diamonds, and blue diamonds are pretty common. There’s a named bug that drops crappy sellable loot, and theres the golem that drops the invis mask (if you kill all the frogs and him.)

How do you handle the two CHing Imperial Crypt guardians? I haven’t done crypt on P99, but on progression servers they are a bitch.

And Howling Stones has killed me so often that I’m just gonna skip that entirely!

At 60, I'm pretty sure you can prox aggro solo pull them from inside a room. Yeah, they're a pain in the rear end, but you've got torpor, so :shrug:

The howling stones comment is reasonable, and, actually, on a server with corpses it's probably a bad idea if you don't have a Necro to summon corpse just chilling.

You can clip through and summon the eye of zomm through things you shouldn't if you're close enough w. shrink or being a gnome

If you're a mage on Blue or need stalking probes (5 charge eye of Zomm), I can craft them on my cleric for anyone in need.

If you are a mage on blue and don't have a clay bracelet you are doing wrong.

I'm a mage and I am curious as to why I would *need* a clicky for eye of zomm, since I can just cast it

I mean, instant clickies are always nice and it saves a spell slot, that's why I have an earring of everfount (i've stopped carrying bought food/water at all and usually cast gift of xev as soon as I log in, but if I ever log out with no mana I can still get water free of charge :) )

but I didn't know about being able to use it to pass locked doors, that is very cool and I will need to buy some shrinking pots because I bet it will come in useful

Definitely bring shrink pots if you're a mage and not a gnome. Also useful to Call of the Hero people in dungeons, if you cast eye into a solid wall, the eye spawns at the dungeon entrance (with some exceptions) so you can invite and summon people that way.

Clay bracelet saves a shitload of time and mana when you are the coth bitch, or you are bound in PoM and are trying to hammer regularly.

I have been sitting in the tunnel in EC the past week, looking at the auctions and occasionally porting the odd straggler, until today I said gently caress it and took my necro to Warsliks Woods. There were two bards chatting in OOC - turns out they both just restarted playing today after a year of absence.

The world is a gently caress. Gonna get that necro to 60

Currently have a 35 monk and 35 Necro in Mines of Nurga (Blue server) that are slowly soloing to 40.

If anyone has an alt in the 24-39 range, I'm down to duo. The zone has a Raiders of the Lost Ark feel to it, except instead of snakes it's full of goblins.

Oh my necro is nearly 28 and the brutes are really safe xp but that sounds a nice place to graduate to, can't think of the last time I've been down the mines

Oh that looks good once I get 34 for pet / root / new spells, sounds like a bit of a challenge.

Yeah I did it on my monk a long time ago, though I feel like things were different back then - I remember a wanderer that seems to be missing now and they're not social / aggro but I thought they were, could just be me though, I'm hazy about most of it.

Yeah, TunnelQuest works well. I think its the same guy that used to do that twitch stream.

Has a pretty useful tracker bot, you can have it send you messages when a specific item is being auctioned.
