Agreed, I got a bunch of stuff through that. The code is supposedly expired, but you could give it a shot anyway and see if it goes through- https://www.ddo.com/news/ddo-free-dungeoncrawl. On another note, playing dungeons on hard is a surprising difficulty spike. Traps didn't seem to do poo poo on normal so we rerolled as a paladin and sorcerer and those are brutal. I suppose next life, we'll have a dedicated trapper.

Yeah the trap scaling between normal to elite in heroic levels is much higher than everything else. Elite heroic traps can often just straight up kill you if you're not a high hp class. Something like 95% of the required path ones can be platforming skilled around though if you're into that. For the most part, you don't need-need a trapping class to deal with them, though this is not something I would practice on hardcore.

Yeah plus once you get access to raise dead, getting killed in a party is more of an inconvenience rather than a show stopper

Lorem ipsum posted:Its been hinted that there will be both black friday and christmas sales, I would wait for that if you are considering buying an xpac Hell yeah. On that note is there any way to tell exactly what expansions I need? I know for a fact I got Menace of the Underdark and the Shadowfell Conspiracy on that DungeonCrawl sale for 99 points (I know it, because I did those on my last life), but it still shows up in the store for me.

I don’t know if it’s as easy for DDO, but I reached out to SSG support for LotRO and they were able to get me a list of everything I owned so I could figure out which expansions I still needed to buy. I assume they could do the same for you?

For the 99pt ones, they just simply won't show up in the store if you already bought them. But in general, emailing support seems to be the only way; their account site stopped updating with 'owned content' years ago and they don't have any plans to fix it. But if you email them and ask they can give you a comprehensive list!

Dragon Lord is free for everyone not just VIPs. After March 26th you'll need to either become a VIP or purchase via DDO Store (995 TP) to access it if you didn't already claim it.

Next reward is up: Slice of Life adventure pack level 18/34 in Morgrave University. Make sure to talk to the dragon in the Hall of Heroes to unlock it permanently for your account before April 23rd. After that it'll be available in the DDO store and free for VIPs. [Edit] Also daily gold rolls for VIP. DemonMage fucked around with this message at 17:32 on Mar 27, 2024 |

DDO Website posted:Starting on Wednesday, April 24th through May 28th, 2024, all players can speak to Xatheral in the Eberron Hall of Heroes and select one expansion they wish to acquire for their account! All expansions except for Vecna Unleashed are available to choose from. You will get access to the playable content of the expansion I can choose between: Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh Shadowfell Conspiracy Mists of Ravenloft Menace of the Underdark Masterminds of Sharn Fables of the Feywild Isle of Dread So should I get the Ravenloft one if I'm just picking one for free? From what I understand my newbie ranger would probably be best served with Ravenloft gear, so I'm leaning towards that expansion. Let me know if any of the others would be better, but I do ask you to explain why you think your choice is better! Thanks in advance!

I'd get Isle of Dread, it has a nice crafting system for end level and pretty baller drops all around. Also Ravenloft and Sharn etc old packs are occasionally on nice sale, like 99TP or so. IOD is level 7 and can probably carry you further than Ravenloft that is lvl 10 but I'm no expert on rangers. I do love Ravenloft as a pack though, best quests barring a couple. So, moneywise IOD is the best shot, imo.

It depends on how efficient you want to be about picking up expansions. Ravenloft was a ton of fun, but there has been a couple of sales where you could get Ravenloft, Sharn, Shadowfell, and Menace of the Underdark for 99 points. I got them that way, and I've seen that sale at least one more time since then (along with a bunch of free adventure packs!). I don't have the other 3, but I believe Saltmarsh costs the fewest amount of points in the store, so for me it's between Isle of Dread and Feywild. I did enjoy the two Feywild quests you get without the expansion, but I'm not sure which one has more content.

Thanks for the replies...from your two posts I guess I'm leaning towards IoD then, because I think I have enough random, left-over DDO points to save up for a few 99pt expansions. Also, I don't play much except randomly, and I'm a lot closer to 7 than 10 . Maybe by the time I get in a higher level bracket there will be (will have been) a sale!

I have just picked this up and started to play a little for the first time in forever. I picked Feywild because of the ones people suggest it's the one I'm closest to ready to jump into.

Can't go wrong with free expansion, which ever you choose*. They could have done a bit better than the stupid 1 potion for us that have them all though. Edit: Well, you should probably pick one of the newer ones, iod, feywild or saltmarsh because the older ones are on sale frequently.

Yeah, I picked up IOD on some alt accounts, it's the most expensive pack in store and has never been discounted (will likely change come next sale though). Plus the whole dinosaur thing make my inner 6 year old very happy.

If you want to play endgame, Isle of Dread is easily the best pick. It has the best endgame weapons and really competitive armor. It also has great heroic leveling content and dinosaurs. If you have no interest in endgame, there is maybe a world in which you get sharn since it has a bunch of quests that really nicely round out heroics and is newer than ravenloft (slightly less likely to go on sale). However, as the above posters pointed out, pretty much every xpac aside from IOD is likely to go on sale for super cheap if you are willing to wait.

According to the DDO forums, the Year of the Dragon NPC is temporarily disabled. "We have temporarily disabled Xatheral, the Year of the Dragon NPC in the Eberron Hall of Heroes, while we investigate a bug with reward delivery. We will have more information on the timing and availability of April's Year of the Dragon gift soon." latest update was Thursday the 25th: "There is an issue with the way the NPC is filtering displayed results based on what expansions you own. We are working to correct this issue as quickly as possible." Guessing Monday at the earliest

So what are some fun builds I could go down if I plan to be the trapper for my friends group? I was thinking doing something like Rogue/Bard and grabbing the Int > Attack trait from Harper Agent. I kinda wanna use quarterstaff if possible? I've tried getting into the game a few times now and I enjoyed it, but it's just a little too much upfront. And the last time we kinda started to get the ball rolling we all realized Normal was way too easy, which led to a desire to start on Hard or maybe Elite. Sounds like we'll have a Cleric, Wizard, me as the trapper, and a ???? ( probably a Fighter, maybe a Ranger or Druid ) as our last.

I was thinking doing something like Rogue/Bard and grabbing the Int > Attack trait from Harper Agent. Int to attack/damage is going to feel really bad for the first few levels until you actually get the harper enhancements. I'd suggest starting with at least 12 strength if you can manage it so you have a little early game damage. Staff rogue is decent though. Honestly, i'm a huge fan of charisma based staff Sacred Fist if you are a staff enjoyer (it has kinda the same issue as int to attack/damage but you can dump con a bit on sacred fist to get some str since sacred fist has really good defenses).

I suggest getting (atleast) 2 levels of rogue, for evasion. And make your first level rogue, you get more skillpoints that way to start with. That Harper int for hit/damage is nice as is the trance. I have an swashbuckler alt I play occasionally (bard 18/rogue 2), fun for elite and low Reaper, can do traps and decent damage, buffs, bit of healing etc. Sadly swashbucklers are for 1 handed weapons so quarterstaff doesn't work.
