frajaq posted:wish it was easier to buy stuff in this game as a Brazilian Short answer, don't bother with any of that. The gameplay content from those two expansions is on sale in-game for cheap right now and the only other thing you really need from those (https://ddowiki.com/page/Epic_Destinies) is cheaper if you buy it separately from the in-game store.

Both expansions are still for sale in game for 99 ddobux so tossing 5 bucks into the store ingame is definitely the way to go if you're looking for immediate purchase.

For what it's worth, it is unnecessary to buy things but it does help. DDO would be very pay to win if it were PvP. It's probably worth skipping some grind here and there if you want to spend money on this. Menace of the Underdark and Shadowfell Conspiracy standard are 50 dollars if you buy them together (or less through that site I mentioned earlier) and come with a combined 2000 DDO points, the Purple Dragon Knight, the Druid, Epic Destinies, veteran status (which is pretty easy to get free), permanent XP boosts for heroic and epic leveling for one character, a character slot, and a +1 skill tome for each of your characters. There's an upgrade for the epic XP tome on sale right now for 345 points. If you want to really whale out you can get the anniversary pack on the store for about 4000 points which comes with a supreme ability tome that gives +8 to every attribute, a reincarnation heart, and some shared bank space. None of that is remotely necessary at all but if you're the sort of person who doesn't blink at 60 dollar games it can be real nice to have. PS my phone changed the expansion pack to Menace of the Undergrad.

frajaq posted:ahh man I literally cant buy stuff on the DDO store I dont have international credit car lmao So you can get at least 1250 points per life at 25 DDO points per 100 favor and the favor cap being over 5000 now, this is endlessly repeatable. You also get a big bonus in DDO points for the first time you hit certain favor thresholds on each server as seen here https://ddowiki.com/page/DDO_Point. Just remember the bonus DDO points are only for the first time, but you CAN repeat the same first time threshold on other servers. Good luck, the points and favor really aren't hard to get, just a little time consuming. e: also DDOs store in my opinion/experience is probably the most well balanced cost/benefit ratio vs free/earned premium currency of any F2P game I've played.

You selected the Epic option, which in D&D terms is quests that are 20+ in level. A lot of sub-20 quests have 20+ versions available to re-run for extra experience and loot in epic levels.

Reaper reduces your damage and self healing (which is really noticeable if you have it) and increases damage, plus adds a bunch of nasty incoporeals. But as you run it you get special XP which can be used on enhancements that only work in Reaper, so once you flesh those out it can be easier, plus its more xp overall. Running it in a group is probably best

Reaper (usually called R1-10 based on skull number) also gives a pretty hefty normal exp bonus over even elite on first time runs. Definitely do with a group unless you have a bunch of past lives or already have spent a good number of reaper points. The self only healing debuff starts at 65% and goes up 5% per skull rating. Mobs also get a hefty amount of physical and magical resistance ratings as well as more melee/ranged/spell power. This is before you get into the actual reapers themselves (I only run low skull runs so I am nott familiar with the more advanced reapers) and the 4 main ones in my personal least to most dangerous rating and their abilities are as follows: Fear: does a zonewide dot debuff after being aggroed that stacks, unless you are in melee range in which case they hit kinda hard but not awful (these are arguably the weakest ones unless you piss them off and cant get to them) Famine: has a slow debuff that you cannot counter, also likes to cast spells ALOT Carnage: hits like a truck and puts a vulnerability debuff (1% more damage taken per stack on you). Not especially dangerous if you are capable of CCing them, but should otherwise be very high priority Plague: these assholes put on a short duration 90% debuff to all healing on whoever they hit, I've been killed or had party members die thanks to these dicks more than any other reaper. There was also a balance patch not too long ago where they made these also hit like carnage reapers, minus the vulnerability. Dangerous on their own but really shine with other large groups of mobs. All reapers can spawn on their own over living mobs and also have a chance to spawn whenever something dies, but their spawn is directly tied to other mobs in the dungeon. After enough reaper points and if you make sure you always have ghost touch reaper1 can be easier than elite, and the exp bonus does not go any higher after reaper1, the benefit to higher reaper skulls is a) reaper exp is calculated based purely on the quest level and multiplied by skull number (I cant remember the base exp per quest level) length or normal exp for the quest has no bearing on reaper EXP so obviously higher levels with higher skulls yields exponentially more reaper exp. And b) you get a stacking increased chance to find named items based on the difficulty rating of the quest casual-elite, this continues into reaper but at a smaller % post reaper1, higher reaper difficulties also increase the chance of the item rolling with a mythic or reaper boost on the item (helmets can roll with a +2 to all stat reaper boost that works in and out of reaper difficulty although this is insanely rare) reaper boosts on equipment typically only come into effect in reaper mode.

So first time bonuses are weird you have a first time period bonus (your streak bonus that you used to be able to break, but now cannot so its pretty much permanent) and then you have first time bonus for each difficulty so first time always do it on the highest difficulty you can handle after that you can repeat for each individual first time difficulty bonus if you like. There is also a 20% anti-ransack bonus basically if you repeat dungeons you get a 20% penalty for each repeat that goes away over time its something like 40% increase a day, if you run the quest for the "first time" of the day you get a 20% bonus (this only really comes into play in epics though and plays into what everyone calls "daily runs"). If you play on argonessen let me know your level and character name and I can probably craft you a decent ghost touch to start with. crafting planner is http://ccplanner.byethost14.com/?i=1 it will give you an idea what levels you can craft what and where the bonus jumps up at. Also F2P only means that you cannot unlock the difficulty yourself, if you have someone who either has the difficulty unlocked or is VIP you can have them open it on whatever difficulty you like, Perpetual Notion fucked around with this message at 18:26 on Jun 24, 2020 |

Yeah Improved Crit feat and Keen/Impact only apply to the base crit rate instead of after all modifiers are applied. Not sure what Update did that, it was awhile ago, but maybe not 4 years. So a monk has Unarmed is 20 threat range base. So Improved/Keen take that to 19-20. Empty Hand Mastery is +1 Pulverizer from Dreadnaught is +1 (and works with Wraps as of U35) So that would give you 17-20. I probably missed a few things that would let you stack that higher as I was just referring to: https://ddowiki.com/page/Critical_threat

Lorem ipsum posted:Did they change how critical range stacks in the past 4ish years? I could have sworn that my monk/fighter had a 12-20 critical threat range and now its just 19-20. They changed crit range/multiplier calculations shortly after the swashbuckler bard tree. Used to be if you had expanded threat on a weapon then either had keen or improved crit feat or enhancements it doubled the actual crit range of the weapon so say you had shining devastation (18-20/x3) and you got improved crit, you doubled the 18-20 so instead you got a 15 or 16-20 range. Now it calculates based on the base model of the item (20/x2) tacked onto the 18-20/x3 giving you a 17-20/x3. This is more pronounced with certain other weapons with even greater expanded threat ranges. However they also included competence crit range and multiplier enhancements to a lot of melee trees giving you a second stacking version if improved crit, but they also changed most of those previously uniqe crit range adjusters all into competence bonus so they don't stack with each other. Long story short, depending on how you built before, crit ranges have changed A LOT, you can still get sub 15 crit ranges but they are few and far between and extremely specialized.
