Quick question;

If I have an account with some characters that aren't the F2P classes/races, do I need to pay a subscription to access them? Or can I do F2P with my old characters?

I'm in as Thalyn, 79 necro. I spend most of my time killing Kunark/Velious bosses because grinding XP is such a chore, even with potions and Lesson.

We can start grouping together and killing poo poo.

I'll make the offer to testcopy over little carepacks to you test goons again. I can ship over packs of: (listed by character)

~2m plat, 3k dream motes, an Amulet of Necropotence, a Manastone, a stack of Pure Light orbs, lots of 14 slot bags and/or TS items, and whatever random things I have from exping.

An AoN, Circlet of Shadows, a stack of pure Metal orbs, a Bioluminescent Orb, L90 arrow summoning quiver.

My trader with whatever random stuff I'm trying to sell (RoF random drop gear and Eternal Grove crap) plus some plat.

Contact me at xegony.illa, or post in thread with your name and what you want. I'll copy over and send stuff when I can.

That would be fan-loving-tastic if you could copy over some plat, dream motes, an Amulet of Necropotence, and a Manastone. It seems there's quite a queue, but when you get a chance, my necro, Thalyn, would be most appreciative.

Shaman is named Grammu, who I pay the most attention to.

Send Thalyn a /tell next time you see me on. I have thousands of them I can give you.

Are there regular groups that do power leveling? I'm currently level 80, and even with 300% xp compared to Live, it still takes a longish time to get a level. Is there anyone I can tag along with while the swarm?

Reminder: All xpaks are unlocked on Test. :v:

I think this was mentioned earlier in this thread, but I couldn't find it. But, when I log into Test, it says that I have 17 out of 19 expansions. Does that simply reflect the expansions activated on Live? It seems that the content (AAs, parcel system, spells, etc) is active on my account.

Should I care that it doesn't list them all being active?

OK, so I now have transferring over any time I do a /testcopy:


For 80+ folks:

Dagger of Rotting Flesh
Brutal Enforcer
Hammer of Greatness
Ring of the Fearborn
Eclipse
Most of a full set of Terror Infused armor (the HoT T1 equivalent all/all armor, min-lev 80). This stuff.
A full set of HoT dream fragments for rank II spells.

For 85+ folks:
A full set of Rustic wraps (VoA T1 armor). Also transferring the armor pieces for plate if you can wear that, otherwise let me know which you need and I'll copy that instead.
A full set of VoA cantrips for rank II spells.
Steelcore Dagger
Darksteel Band of the Turncoat
Heartwood Bow
VoA-strength power sources for armor.

For lowbies not being PL'd:
The Horn of Hsagra

For fun:

Amulet of Necropotence

Things that I can unlock for transfer - these require me to use Loyalty crowns to purchase unattuners. I have no problem doing this, just don't want to waste them if no one actually wants the items.

Sliver of the Shieldbearer's Shield

PM me if you want any of this stuff - first come first serve.

Edit - As a note for those of you requesting Cantrips and Dream Fragments for Rank II stuff, keep in mind that VoA 92-95 spells require language progression, and HoT 89-90 spells require indifferent faction.

For VoA - Rank 2 spells are obtained from The Sklyg in Beasts' Domain by turning in "xyz Alaran Cantrip". No requirements for level 91, 25 skill for levels 92-93, and 50 skill for levels 94-95.

Will send you a PM about some of the Terror Infused pieces this evening when I get home.

Is there a way to /testcopy without logging in? I have a gnome necromancer (which can log on F2P) along with an Iksar SK and Iksar Shaman on separate accounts. It looks like purchasing the race/class combos will cost 1050 SC per account which isn't a great deal. If I sub it'll cost $30 for both accounts, also not a very good deal.

If you already have the characters on your accounts, you don't have to sub in order to access them. You do have to sub if you want to access the shared bank and some other things. But, you can log on and /testcopy those characters over without paying.

I was thinking something like like a shadowknight or bard but i heard you need a lot of AAs to really open up the potential of the classes. Mage seems like it would be fun since the pet can tank while you dps away. Just looking for an easy class that i can mess around with and tackle underlevel raid targets, while exploring zones ive never been to before. I dont need massive combat spam, just something mindless i dont need to think a lot about.

Sounds like you should go with a necro. The pet is not as robust as the Mage pets and stacking DOTs means low burst damage, but necros have so much utility and more ways to avoid dying than any other class. Invis + FD makes exploring almost anywhere super easy.

Do you mean a Shai'Din Revenant Bauble (that casts Bobbing Corpse)? My SK is 82 and has instant invis AA and Bobbing Corpse, but I have a 52 necromancer named "Zyzykx" on Test who could really use those.

I wanted to thank Loon and crew, as well as that random guy in General who gave me 2 free Murdunk TAs, for once again taking me through the J5 quests. My bard, Syphir, is the only character I have left that needs to unlock J5 mercenaries, so if anyone decides to run through them, I would love to join you. Syphir still needs credit from Murdunk's, but I was able to do the ground spawn quest and the "Hail to the Thralls" quest solo via blatant abuse of Fading Memories, and he has the 4 kill quests (2 frogs, 2 ogres) in his log - I just do not have the firepower with my stable of level 82s to take down the mobs in Korascian Warrens with any safety and efficiency.

Thalyn will likely be on hiatus until the end of the month, since I should probably be focusing on my classes so I can finish my master's.

I wouldn't say that I got burned out, but it got a little tiring trying to get groups together in /guildchat when no one responds.

I'm currently AFKing. But, I found an extremely out of the way spot in a zone that's always empty, mostly because it's such a PITA to get to. My pet kills the 3 spawns and 2 roamers every 22 minutes and after a day or so, I get a level.

This way, I can study for the MCAT and gain some levels. It's a win-win.
