ZAX now has actual sell orders up that don't disappear immediately! Finally have been able to convert all the spare AD I had built up over 6 months of not playing but running Sub's script at work into Zen and got myself the lizard-man Pack of Infinite BagSpace.

Elswyyr posted:I'm gonna give this a try again. What are the major things you can't get without spending cash, and what's the class with the most action-y combat? I want to be doing combos, mashing buttons, etc Well, there are only a few things you really absolutely cannot get without spending money- namely the various Packs (Feywild, Guardian, Hero of the North) that are on sale right now. Everything else you can purchase through the Zen market, and there is an AD (which you earn through playing and doing various things) to Zen exchange. Major things that usually come up as good things to throw Zen at are Character slots and Mounts (which are usually account-wide). As to the combat you're looking for, if you really really like mashing buttons then I'd say try a Hunter-Ranger, if only because due to the way their stances work they effectively have double the amount of at-wills and encounters to use at any one time. If you try to play it as a hybrid melee/archery character, you're definitely in for something a lot more action-y than a class that has a much more 'standard' rotation- but as per usual that's just my two cents, mileage may vary.

RickDaedalus posted:You got your points back because they reset everyone last module due to power and feat balancing. I heard it said to never buy retraining tokens, just wait for a new module to drop. I thought it was only feats that were reset (which you can do with AD)? They definitely didn't reset any Powers, Paragon paths, or ability increases on any of my toons (which sucks, because I thought they would when they introduced the new Paragon tree for HR but nope, if you want to play it either buy a respec or roll a new toon) - did I just miss out?

It would be amazeballs if somebody more knowledgeable than I were to post up any kind of updated GF build, ideally one for PvE and dungeon clearing as I don't PvP much. Mine has been sitting at 60 for months thanks to the script and I feel it's finally time to grind some boons with him and start gearing, but all the guides on the forums are over a year old and haven't been updated. Elf cookies to everyone that helps. Promise.

So thank you, and if you do decide to rain down purps and blues from the heavens above to fellow Goons then Ellenan Xorlarrin@felixkelll would be even more grateful.

Also, for anyone working on power leveling Alchemy, feel free to take stacks of pots from the guild bank to dramatically speed up the process if you aren't already. Having the required potion types on hand means you just crank out heaps of Aqua Vitae/Regia and Experiment non-stop, which makes leveling Alch to 20 (and getting that much closer to another slot) much faster!

Goofballs posted:Being honest the stuff in the cash shop is pretty over priced. They've gone for whales over lots of little purchases so the left over 5 bucks wont go too far. The extra character slots are a good idea. Even if you don't play them. If you get a mook to a 11 you can park them in the enclave and have them generate in game currency with the leadership script in the op. It takes them a while to start generating real quantities, like a month and a bit, but in the long run doing that is the smart move. Cannot second this enough- when I was out in Malaysia on my last gig and couldn't play for a solid 3-4 months I just had all of my toons farming 24/7 using the script, and when I came back to the game just after Mod 4 released I was rolling in AD and able to buy the Legendary Dragonborn (which has heaps of great stuff, including a massive bag for all characters) without spending another cent. Moral of the story? Character slots all the way.

Yeah I have to say the month-long sublet I'm in has absolutely terribad internet so no MMO's for me whilst I look for a more permanent place, and I can't say I really miss it after the ridiculous-ness that was the Tiamat patch. Did jump on during the huge Christmas sale though to buy a whole bunch of purple mounts because what the hell else am I going to do with the AD piling up. So now I have both variety of Unicorn and can roleplay out one being an abusive police officer...

Also don't forget that adding enchants and whatnot to your gear also helps heaps with your GS, so strip out those R1 & 2's you popped in when you were still experimenting on your way to L60 and drop in some R5+'s. I'll finally see you folks this weekend! So excited. Also, should probably figure out which of my chars got respecced this time before running into a dungeon with no feats/powers.

Dr. S.O. Feelgood posted:Yeah, I just came back after a long break and my gearscore for my level 60 cleric was like 4.5k. But I pretty easily got it over 10k just from buying a T1 set of four for around 20k AD. Now I just have to do the endless dailies to unlock Icewind Dale. The zerg meta for the Tiamat boss fight involves the following: The fight is designed as a 25-man group type thing where there are five dragon heads that need to be killed at the same time - in a nutshell, you're supposed to break into 5 groups of 5 and then coordinate dropping your heads all at the same time. If you don't and someone drops a head early, during one of the periodic "now the boss is invincible go fight these other dudes on Endor to drop the shield on the Death Star!" the head that was killed comes back with full health, thus negating a large chunk of work. However, what people found early on is that if you just ball up and run around as a group of 25, you can get each head very low very quickly, and then knock them all out in a single round. Works heaps better to finish the fight when even at best case you're grouped up with 20 other people you don't know and who may not listen to what they need to do.

Blockhouse posted:Having overcome my horror at the lack of gnomes I made a GFW and am going to try out wizard and I guess I'll sign up for the goon guild whenever I pick which I like more Obligatory "Why not both?" But honestly, extra char slots are one of the best things to buy with zen, so if any of you do want to throw 5-10$ at the game after enjoying it for a while, that's what I would recommend. Along with letting you play through the same content but with different classes, once you've gotten over the novelty they can be pressed into forced servitude by our lord and savior ProfessionBot to make you more AD, which you turn in to more Zen, which you turn into more character slots, which make you more AD...

inkmoth posted:So this CTA, it doesn't seem to give XP - is it still worth spamming it over and over to try and get the companion? If it's anything like other CTA's post-drop rate nerf, if you really really want the companion you can usually find them swamping the AH for 10-20k diamonds during the event and then immediately after. As to whether it's worth it, as with most of the content it comes down to if you enjoy it because the drops aren't really anything other than cosmetic in nature so ymmv. Disclaimer: I haven't logged since this event started so this could all be horrendously wrong.

sicarius posted:So if someone was just starting this game, what would be the recommendation. I skimmed the OP and it seems as if Control Wizard might be the way to go, but should I be buying any of these Steam packs or whatever the case may be? If you are going to put money into the game just direct-dropping 5$ or so in is a reasonable idea, as you get the first time buyer's pack and some spare zen to play with. The Steam packs are mostly the same things you can buy direct from PW, and if you want to drop 60$ on the game the Feywild one is a better bang for your buck if you can stand unicorns - the mount and companion are purple quality. Avoid the Steam Starter pack though unless you absolutely have to have a Salvatore-esque Figurine of Wondrous Power thing. As to what to do with your Zen, my preference is always character slots as they a) give you more options to play with and b) translate into free AD/Zen if you use the script in the OP . Otherwise, buying a purple mount from the store is definitely the biggest quality of life improvement you can get, and it's account wide. CW's are fun, but my heart is and always will be with my dear hybrid HR's. I really should finish up the guide I've been working on that has gone through three mod revisions now and still never seen the light of day.

aegof posted:So how big a deal is Tenacity in pvp? Is it worth buying stuff in the auction house every few levels, if you're pvping a lot? Just to echo Goofball's post from earlier regarding PvP: Goofballs posted:It is the purest form of pay to win you will find on the internet. Theoretically you could grind everything you need to be reliably competitive but the servers will turn off before you get there. Realistically you could have over 100 alts and use the leadership bot and get enough in game currency that way. Cix did that. It reliably works. So stats are definitely a big deal, but whether or not you're getting enough of a boost from them vs. people spending waaaay more than you is up to you to determine. Up until 60 htough shouldn't really be a concern, I always just PvP'd in whatever I was in for the sake of finishing the daily and then stopped once I hit 60.

Any of the rare batch potion tasks starting at Rank 3 can return it (that's what I used for mine, but full list can be found here) and have really easy mat requirements. You should be able to see what your chances are/what you get if you do get Rank 2 or 3 when you're slotting out the task in the professions menu, if you don't see odds on a Rank 2 or 3 result it means that task can't get one.

Double Monocle posted:Thanks I did just that. You can get an absolutely boatload of green (and sometimes blue) companions from events and promo codes, so unless there is one you absolutely have to have because :reasons: you shouldn't pay for any of them. What you're going to want to aim for eventually is an augment companion (an ioun stone or the cat) which you can buy with AD, though come Mod 6 that may change but overall they're the most solid choice at end-game because of the stat boosts and not having to worry about dumb companion AI pulling aggro on things you don't want it to.

Funkmaster General posted:I'd like to start a guild today, but we need 5 people on at once to do it. ALSO I want to kill charthraxis but nobody else seems to care enough to fight him. I don't know if the xbone has the same instance system as the PC, but especially with the zone-specific heroic dragons you definitely want to try instance hopping around to get to one with a high population as that's more likely to have randoms trying to kill him - usually when I needed to drop them for the campaign quests it took me a few tries to find an instance that a) had enough people around to do it and b) had a timer that I was able to catch without waiting too long or having him dropped before I could run across the entire map to shoot him in the face once. EDIT: Also, had a buddy mention that the ZAX is currently at 110 AD : 1 Zen right now, so I highly, highly recommend any and all Xbox goons to buy up as much of it with AD as you can now and use it or sit on it as if it follows the trend on the PC it'll cap out at 500 eventually.

Also, it'll be really interesting to follow the ZAX on Xbox, as you're entirely right that there is a lower potential for botting and goldfarming but I'm curious how that stacks up against a possibly larger population base that is (in my opinion) far more likely to consider spending decent chunks of change on that game. I could be completely wrong, but we'll see! EDIT: Good lord reading the neverwinter subreddit right now is painful.

Comrade Koba posted:I'm currently working my way through the lower 40's, leveling by doing quests and a dungeon or two now and then. Is this the best/most efficient way of leveling, or should I be doing something else? Best way to level is definitely just progressing through the quests as you're given them, if you do absolutely *everything* you can you'll even come to a few points where you can end up skipping entire areas because you end up leveling that fast. As for campaigns, you should be able to start the first two (Sharandar and Dread Ring) right away and work on them concurrently, getting to IWD requires having at least two boons (which are easiest to get in Dread Ring) and then I can't remember the requirements to get to the Well of Dragons but if you've been working on your ToD campaign you should also have it open up pretty quickly. You *should* end up completing all of them at some point if only for the boons, but depending on how Mod 6 plays out that may or may not change.

So apparently if you have heaps of stockpiled Herald Heroic Rewards the tweak that the devs announced and pushed to preview that would make the rewards based on the level you received them at didn't make it to live. Which means if you have stockpiled heralds still unopened, open them up ASAP as they potentially contain Greater Artifact Belts.
