So if lockboxes are terrible and worthless, what do I do with my pile of lockboxes in my inventory? Just let the pile keep growing? Can I sell these to chumps or anything?

Lockboxes are like slot machines - they keep throwing them in your face in the hopes you'll give in and toss some money into the negative-EV pit.

For those of us playing along at home - are paladins in the game now?

I want to make a metallic dragonborn. In the cash shop I see a $75 bundle and a $25 bundle, each of which vaguely claims to grant the Dragonborn race. Do both of these include the metallic dragonborn? Is there any cheaper option?

EDIT: Okay, I figured out that metallic dragonborn are a lockbox drop. Is it tradeable? Can it be found on the auction house?

Ugh. I finally go to the trouble of getting Greasemonkey to run the profession script, and apparently the latest version of firefox doesn't allow me to connect to the gateway? gently caress.

Man, I forgot how fun it was to mash mobs up with double knives. :) Paladin is fun as poo poo, too, in that you never need potions and thus are mainly indestructible. I have yet to figure out how to make GWF fun for me - should I be looking for Destructor to get more and more awesome as I move toward level 20? Or should I focus some other way?

I've got the profession bot rolling now, what should I be looking for from the output? Refined AD? I noticed it dumped about ten +1 pactblades in my main's inventory, is there some good thing I can do with those or do I just vendor them?

I think I overflowed the guild by inviting all four of my alts. Should I boot some? I am actively playing all four but I like having guild chat up.

So, paladins seem to be pretty OK. confirm/deny?

They do feel kind of broken, for a habitual solo player like myself. I don't think my paladin has ever needed to drink a potion. Nothing matters and I have a million heals and I can 1-shot bosses with my daily.

So it takes $75 to play as a dragon? :smithcloud:

Isn't there a $25 "Dragonborn race change" option?

I feel like someone said you could buy the option on the auction house up the thread but I forget/never checked to be sure

The metallic dragonguy drops from a lockbox, but is tradeable, so it shows up on the AH infrequently, and for an amount that's around $400 worth of Zen converted to AD.

I've tried to mess with the exchange a little bit, but honestly I'm not too clear on what a good AD offering for zen would even be really.

The exchange rate seems pretty firm at 500 AD = 1 Zen (on the PC side, anyway).

Like, there's so many AD put up to buy a Zen for 500, I can't imagine trying to offer your AD at a worse rate. How would you ever sell anything.

Casual opinion: Realistically, your exact build matters very little. Put a point in anything new that looks cool, try it out. Is it good? Do you like doing it? Put more points in it. Invest in your class's primary and secondary stats. You'll almost certainly be totally fine.

So, this is what finally happens to Cryptic.

It didn't have to be this way, Jack.
