So I checked if I was eligible for the raptr rewards before actually installing the client - it registered my playtime through steam. :smug: Now my warrior looks ridiculous.


Fake Edit: That's only at level 42.

I'd love to, though I'm not going to be on for another hour to hour and a half. I'm 53 at the moment so we can go do pvp dailies or city core or the second zone after the kingdom place if you like.

I want a ghost pony. I will be there to kill things and get a ghost pony. Ghost ponies rule.

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.

I don't think you do based on last nights run through that green place raid (Greenblight? I think?), but do you earn experience, whether planar or normal in these raids?

It's honestly starting to sound like the f2p model is completely p2w. I really, really hope they stay cosmetic with it. I haven't researched the switch much at all, so I'm not sure how in-depth they've already made it so I hope they have the time to rectify this horrible decision.

So now that I'm 60 on my warrior (first 60 woo!), I think since the tanking spots are full I'm going to go dps or support (really my only other two options). Any idea what you guys would need more in a raiding sense of terms?

As for the dps spec, it seems I'll have to dedicate some time to researching it. Right now my combat moves are combined in 4 macros as a warlord/champ spec so this'll be tough to switch over.

Umm excuse me I helped too. Remember? I had to earlier than normal last night because my connection kept dropping but I should be on all day today after 11am EST (Maybe 11:30?) so if you want to queue we can do it then.

I really need to start a tanking set. It would make gearing so much faster.

Chelm and I tried to run an expert when we ran into this fine fellow. Apparently the reason we kept wiping on General Grim (Second boss in Exodus of the Storm Queen) wasn't because the boss was bugged, but rather because I decided that I wanted to smoke some illegal substances. GJ pubbies.

Also, he had a bow that costs 15,000 platinum (maybe even more??) and he decided to only upgrade it with +32 Attack Power (What a nerd!). I'll see if I can get a screenshot. Probably too late though.

I finally maxed out my rep with the Karthan Ridge people, and now I have to grind 4800 conquest tokens. Now, I've only been in conquest a few times and it seems like this grind is really, really tedious. Are there any ways to speed up the token gain, or anywhere else I can buy that upgrade token for the trinket?

As for planar attunment, I reset it so I could max fire and death since I'm now using 1h weapons. What should I pickup next? Should I just hop from tree to tree grabbing the extra planar charges first?

Other than winning more and doing your daily every day/your weeklies every week, nope. And no, the upgrade is only from 4800 tokens.

Yes, it sucks rear end. If you're willing to wait until 2.3 and have gotten a trinket drop in experts, you can upgrade those with the Marauder's Large Cell (39 expert marks).

Hmm, I guess it's time to find out where the warrior dps trinket drops from. Asm you were right, we need a working, up-to-date rift wiki.

The mage formerly in my guild who ran it 19 times in less than a week would like to disagree. I think the trick is to get 4 people to manually queue it and random queue at exactly the same time but he wanted his scalpel so badly.

Also how are there 3 bosses to dislike in archive? Archive has some of the coolest flavor ever plus you get to fight Murdantix i mean Tzul.

I mean, I love the 3rd and last boss of the dungeon, those mechanics are great. The second boss isn't so bad either what with the eating of his own creations or whatnot. The first boss is horrible since no tank seems to know what to do, and the fourth is, as vandee put it so nicely, :catdrugs:.

I don't mind running it, and it might finally give me a reason to nail down my tempest rotation since I never seem to want to learn it in a real boss situation. I feel like I'm just complaining for the sake of it so I'll shut up about my stupid problems. On that note, I haven't been reading a lot of the information on the f2p change. For those of us who still want to subscribe to RIFT, is that still possible? Or is it that I would just have to "purchase a patron pass" every month? Is there a big infodump I can go read about this? The F2P page on their site doesn't give all the info I'm looking for.

Yeah you can level pretty fast in PvP and if you chose a good class for PvP, it's very fun.

I got my Warrior to 50 and he is useless as gently caress in PvP, I tried a Mage out and went Pyro, everytime I went into a PvP match I absolutely wrecked, so fun.

Regarding your warrior, go a riftblade or warlord spec and watch everyone around you cry. At that level there's no insane bonus to pvp ability defence so your aoes do tons of damage and you're literally a wrecking ball.

The leveling spec I mentioned awhile ago is perfect for this. You may want to go champ too since corned beef is seriously overpowered to groups of enemies.

Yeah, low level crafting material definitely helps. Don't just put it in though, if you want to level crafting use it. Otherwise the tab just gets clogged up with all sorts of stuff and then what will we do with our stacks of 99 grieveblossoms? I tried to put in ethereal dust this morning and there was no room! If only some low level people needed to make 99x2 augments or something.

Also if you are leveling Apothecary and are making dyes with stuff from the guild bank, consider putting them in the guild bank. If anyone is leveling apoth and can gain skill through dark magenta / magenta / dark cyan / cyan / dark seafoam green / seafoam green dyes, I'll pay for your non-guild bank components (vials, etc) if you'll throw them in the guild bank.

edit: also if you are bad at sorting through bags like me, there is actually an auto-sort button and a "search" button next to your bags! I always have to click search to find my rally scrolls.

That's another helpful new person hint: Always carry around some rally scrolls, just in case.
