If that is literally the only thing I miss out on by making a new account and getting 30 days free I'll do that them instead of giving up my 30 days free time to get a character with +40 water resist that might be made available again later anyway.

That is not the benefit of the Barnacle Encrusted Source machine.

The benefit is it not being bound, which helps for alts. Thankfully they did away with resistance gating in Storm Legion, so passing barnacles back and forth between alts isn't really a thing. I suppose you could use a char with max lycini rep to get essences and pass it around, but then you are losing main stats.

I use barnacles to make best-in-slot sigils for my alts who don't have torvan/lycini maxed and never will.

Actually, cleric gets a lot of use out of Defiler. It is great for soloing and a lot of DPS builds have used 4pt defiler in them for rage blight. It is also good to have a 61pt Defiler in raids. I think warrior gets the least out of its SL soul, but even then it might be good to have Tempest for fights when your raid needs more ranged DPS (3rd boss in TDQ can be terrible as melee unless the other DPS can take out the wisps without you).

We use tempests on Hard Mode Progenitor and Hard Mode Gelidra due to anti-stacking mechanics. In addition IIRC a good general warrior DPS spec is 61 RB /15 Tempest or 61 RB/ 10 Tempest / 5 Paragon (for amped I think?). If you want to play a lot of purifier and warden (and maybe Sentinel in dungeons) and Shaman and probably cleric tanking you don't need any points in defiler though!

There are plenty in the guild bank, but will send a silk pack or two until you can get there yourself
edit: I had to do a double take, they are all gone? Mother of god, I just put in like 20 something bags. OK. Will drop some off before I head out

edit 2: Ok, someone decided to take 10 out on one character -- don't be a shitlord and do this. Take 5 out for your main and chill out, please. They cost a few plat each to make and there are a lottttt of people coming.

I just checked the page and it's still showing at 0, so I'm just hoping that they're in the process of getting the keys set up on Raptr's end. :ohdear:

E: Re-read it and I think I misunderstood the first sentence at first glance. I took "keys have been restocked" to mean "we sent Raptr some more keys today", when what it most likely means is "keys have been restocked in the past and we will be restocking them again before long". So basically just keep checking to see when they pop back up.

I don't expect them to restock the Raptr keys, Elrar seemed kinda surprised that it was still going on when asked about it in the livestream.

Also the point I was trying to make about the expansion souls is that all of them have value, but the goon guild isn't going to kick you out of raids if you don't have them, as long as you are flexible with your specs and can bring other valuable roles. Not having the mage or rogue will directly affect your leveling though.

Also Also going to log on and send out invites.

Both Cool Kids inc. and I went through this process - me for Defiance, her for her ancient RIFT account.
As long as you're close enough on one or both of them that it's obvious that you know the answer, and are missing out on something like spelling, capitalization or similar, they'll clear you for flight.
Example: the question that was hanging me up was my hometown, and I didn't know if I'd put my actual birth city (the suburb name), my birth city (the metro area name), or where I'd graduated high school (Military "hometown"), and whether I'd included the state abbreviation or not.

I gave them all three permutations, and one of them was good enough.

If you're level 50+ and want a free 110% mount (retail price 125 plat), tomorrow (5/21) we're going to run River of Souls and get all the achievements. Getting all the achievements gets you a free ghost pony.





If you want one show up around 7PM server and we'll see if we have people who want to go. Raids reset on Wednesday so if people aren't able to make it we can run another later in the week.

Only bad thing is I just bought my bear atv, so I could have waited a day and got a 110% free. I really should think ahead because I knew that we'd be doing it.
