I hit 40 and have burned through my dailies; what should I be focusing on? Heroics? Is there a specific way to do these for maximum chances at loot? Also, healing in heroics/raids; Automatic won't get the job done, right? I'll have to actually move around and avoid stuff?

Actually, most of the time it will. I started to outgear Heroic Raids and can completely auto them and even in my latest Chimeria clear did I only stop autoing the few seconds I had to do the tornado mechanics on last boss only to go back to auto the second I repositioned. Because honestly, 'heal lowest with ST and spam AOE' is enough to counter like 90% of the game. I'm not even sure I could do more DPS on the target itself than the instantly switching bot does. And the best thing is, through outgearing the bar on what you are able to sleep through is constantly growing. My kind of game. The actual mechanic you have to watch out for is playing around team leaders yelling about auto-follow.  On another note, I'm still constantly learning about this game. Can't say they don't explain it, there's just so much of it. Just today I was wondering why people's talent level was so much higher than mine. I did every daily thing I could, didn't I? But then I discovered the daily max XP number in the upper left on the adventures tab. Turned out I was throwing away huge chunks of XP every day. Now I'm at 64/20 trial quests and still catching up.

For boss healing I leave auto off because it is horrendous at using the AoE heal. Off until I need to AoE, then turn auto back on while it's on CD.

Healing is so much more fun than tanking or pewing.

km2 posted:Do you know whats the best path skill/rune upgrades to take for Mystic Shepard? Personally I feel like Warmth and Gentle Gaze are the best bang for your buck but I'm trying to keep everything more or less on the same level. I feel like every spell in our toolkit is useful and strong except maybe the Shield. Not sure if that one's much stronger than a regular direct heal? Right now I have 37 in those two, 35 in the two on the right and both on the top are at 25 (mainly due to Magellana Emblem shortage). Through exponentially rising costs it balances itself out rather well. Runes follow the same idea. Due to the rising costs it doesn't really make sense to specialize on a single imo, especially because we're talking 0.02 sec upgrades etc. There are no hard numbers on this right now though, so take my opinion with a grain of salt.

You can buy Magellana Emblems for 200k silver each in the 'Weekly Specials' section of the item mall. No reason not to max everything.

I buff every talent/rune related to healing or shelding evenly, especially since the rune upgrade costs jump up at certain breakpoints and eventually start costing rare items.

Have any of you folks who've been 40+ for a bit had success with pubbie heroics? I'm a PST pleb, so it's either late at night or I'm just AFK/autoing when events and stuff go on I mean I figure I'll ask in guild for bodies at some point, but I'd actually like to see how a heroic goes before running a group with no idea how trash is pulled, etc (and subjecting goons to that ofc) e: thanks, glad to hear that! ...I'm tired of em taking up my quest log

FistEnergy posted:Yup 200k silver in the Shop or buy in Guild Store. Either way it's cheap. There's efficient and inefficient ways to get most of the materials in the game...but the game doesn't explain it at all, really. Just poke around all the store menus and take note of ways to buy things without spending Gold or Gems. Grinding Altruism Medals with noobs in Scar is extremely profitable and easy to AFK! Am I missing something here? I can only buy them for 500 altruism medals, there's none listed for silver anywhere.

Lube banjo posted:wait, there's gacha gear? do you mean the light of dawn equip? The equipment that can be forged in the guild workshop can be green, blue, purple, or orange (legendary). Level 30 weapon blueprints that occasionally drop in dungeons and sold on the AH, also have a chance to be legendary. I think light of dawn stuff is also gacha.

I had my first Signature Goon Moment just now and I'm mad that I forgot to start recording. I was tanking a Heroic Scar Plains raid full of randos on Follow. 7/10 players wiped on the first boss, which is an easy fight and a horrible sign for ultimate success. I started talking a little poop as we cleared the trash. The party leader and some other randos started arguing about whether to kick the AFKers but no one was actually doing anything. After a few minutes of staring at L'Meshtulon, I got fed up and said SOUNDS LIKE YALL NEED TO SACK UP and pulled the boss....while the previous auction was half over. A bunch of dudes died right off the bat and started yelling and accusing each other of pulling. Meanwhile I kept tanking, while putting in bids on the Frost Hearts. No one else bid on them, because as it turns out you cannot bid if you're dead. I did not know this. https://ibb.co/gz9BSF I got them both for 1000g when they often go for 6-10k. The chat predictably erupted in cursing and yelling, with one guy spamming F UR SACK for a while as we cleared the raid. I just said 'big balls, baby' and quit the party like an idiot instead of taking chat screenshots.

I haven't caused much drama, but I have been witness to numerous pubbie melt downs during the 25/40 man raids. My favorite was when the guild Echo or something tried to do Ash fort with 40 unorganized doods. I was listening in on their discord and a couple non English speaking players couldn't follow the simple mechanics. I didn't even mind the repair costs, listening to pubbies scream into their phones/computers was rad.

What is everyone doing to gear up? Once you run all your weekly heroics that you can reasonably complete, what's next? Is everyone just buying BPs and crafting? During the week this game gets a little slow once you do all your dailies.

Save your daily courage medals to buy d1/d2 set items in the medal store. Crafting won't get you higher than d0 (normal 5 man purples) unless you're using level 30 BPs and you get really lucky and craft a Legendary. And then you have to go through the expensive process of upgrading it. FistEnergy fucked around with this message at 21:59 on Aug 17, 2017 |

Some good advice in this thread by 0kills re: diamonds https://www.reddit.com/r/crusadersoflight/comments/6ucvl5/what_is_everyone_doing_to_gear_up_45/quote:nono. Start with lvl 40 blues, then start going for lvl 20 diamonds. Did not know this. I've been investing in lv40 gems this whole time.

I never even thought of going past level 40 blues. I just tried this out, and I bought out the level 20 green/blue gems I can buy today. I can polish this load into 3 purple lvl 20 gems and that's it. Now I'm out of materials. So am I stuck at a rate of 3/5 of a lvl 20 diamond per type per day, or is there another cheap source of polishing materials?
