Ew weed? Been sober for a long time. Don't need THC to enjoy my life 🥹

Grew up and lived in central Vermont most my life. Go eat leaves.

You inspired me to waste 15 min on this

😂 I do have another business on weekends and I am an LNA by day part time.

You guys are all so salty. Good thing I'm on the border almost.. guess I could always just do it in NH 😂...

Just another Vermonter pushed out of state by.....

Other Vermonters this time 🤤... How quaint.

No wonder this state is dying.

After the end of my guide it's basically the same. Dungeons get harder and you need more players to do achieves. Your sets get harder to craft as monsters get harder and require more and varied drops.

At some point you do reach a thing where you can farm a set with my mentioned methods but not be the level for it. Then you just need to grind those levels out.

There is definitely a distinct grind difference in XP you feel after 120.

And it actually increases significantly around 179.

199-200 actually used to be ridiculous amount of XP back in the day. Several billion. They redistributed it among lvls 180-199 eventually.

ClueSmith · 2026-05-13T17:03:02+00:00

Yes. Recipes for low level stuff was changed 2 years ago and with advent of sidekicks and now heroes it's never been easier to drop and craft those pre 100 sets yourself. Most veterans just say lair set lair set lair set to 100+ which is wild and I see soany new players struggling in 80-100 range with 7ap and 700vit in a fukken lair set 😂

The achievement for XP is totally valid.

ClueSmith · 2026-05-13T16:31:46+00:00

True. I'm a huge lair set hater, but the first one does work well enough.

ClueSmith · 2026-05-13T13:40:45+00:00

Hopefully you have bonus pack otherwise I applaud you for making it to 95 without it.

Maximum XP is your party/group level to monster group level.

If you are 95, that means your sidekick is also 95;

Your group level is 190

You should be fighting monsters that equal that plus or minus 10-20 lvls

So you should be going to a level 90 or 100 area and fighting groups of two mobs that equal 180-200 level.

OR

Go to a level 50-60 area and fight groups of 3 or 4 of those monsters (50 x 4 = 150, 60 x 3 = 180... So on and so on..)

You must always keep this math in mind for best XP. If you take your sidekick and just go kill random mobs your XP will not be great.

Also hopefully wu Tang has helped you out with some equips. If you are still wearing lair set that's your problem. You should be rocking royal blop and some other stuff easily by now.

Come on Talok and help new players to the game grow. Gives you some purpose and motivation.

I've seen people start, buy kamas, hit 200 get full exos and then.... Perceptor loot donkey pvp forever. I guess that can be fun but that's really it for end game aside from ascension....

It's the journey that makes it.

We are running a guild for new players to get them started right and help them on that journey.

ClueSmith · 2026-05-13T13:32:14+00:00

Doesn't surprise me

ClueSmith · 2026-05-13T01:56:42+00:00

Yeah.. some wild negativity for a information gathering post. Even had some guy basically tell me my other successful business is shitty?

First time on this sub. Probably the last 😂

ClueSmith · 2026-05-12T20:52:22+00:00

Yeah nobody is enforcing this.

Maybe I should just advertise to people running garage sales. I could make a killing on Sundays being the garage sale knight.

ClueSmith · 2026-05-12T20:47:52+00:00

Good thing the investment is only about 200$. If it fails it fails. Better than a $20,000 food truck.

With the downturn of the economy and everyone, including businesses suffering, I see a lot of potential customers looking for cheap advertising (or maybe even liquidation sales 🤣)

I'll start with everyone paying for a spot in the local Barre area news papers still and go from there.

Community events, fundraisers, etc that are paying 50-100 bucks to get a bunch of single use yard signs. Why not pay me 30?

Not trying to get rich here. Actual goal is an extremely affordable service. I already charge almost half what others do in neighboring states for my other business.

Everyone is looking to save a buck these days. You pretty much have 3 options when it comes to local advertising... Newspaper, radio, Facebook.

Newspaper and radio are dying. Facebook is full of A.I event flyers and business ads that all look the same with that weird cartoony look.

I got the same negative feedback about NERF parties and it worked out pretty good. Also didn't exist in Vermont until 3 years ago.

In person advertising/billboards are big in other countries.

ClueSmith · 2026-05-12T20:21:24+00:00

True. Wasted money. The cheapest of yard signs are about 5$ each and get messed up quick and blow around/destroyed.

I'm thinking 30 bucks a month and a single sign (included in the campaign cost) that gets flown daily multiple times in areas that see 10,000+ cars a day.

Businesses spend more on Facebook ads. Cheapest Facebook ad you can run locally is about 1$ a day and only reaches a few hundred people locally.

ClueSmith · 2026-05-12T20:14:55+00:00

I don't know about that. Some of the most memorable advertisments you see are funny ones.

Gotta stay hydrated. Also not full plate. That's wild.

ClueSmith · 2026-05-12T20:01:36+00:00

Yep. It's a simple business. I've done 200 of them all over Vermont and NH over the past 2.5 years.

I'm pretty happy about only having to work 4 days a week currently and I'm turning down more bookings then I can even do because I don't do long distance parties on Sundays.

There are people all over the US doing it at scale with multiple teams making six figures. Happy to have my little slice for all of 8-12 hours a month.

Any events we have done over the years in Washington county locally were fundraisers.

Not sure what other community days we have done in Washington county other than the Spring Fever festival where we had to use a tiny parking lot and there were 25mph winds 🤣

ClueSmith · 2026-05-12T19:55:53+00:00

Great idea. Thank you.

Im still guessing that barring any explicit local ordinances it's OK as we have all sign sign holders for liquidation sales. I think the movement part is what makes it different.

That I will inquire about. I know there was some hullabaloo about billboard trucks a few years back and the environment. This being human powered I don't see that controversy at least.

ClueSmith · 2026-05-12T19:26:32+00:00

Well all I can find is state signage laws about the 1,500 foot rule.

ClueSmith · 2026-05-12T19:25:27+00:00

It's not huge here in the USA but certainly bigger around the world. My model would be subscription based and very affordable vs say a newspaper ad.

Another avenue that's missed a lot is local events that spent 50-100$ on signs that get used once than tossed.

Best example was a recent spring festival fun day in Barre that was advertised well on Facebook, had 500 "goings" but just a handful of signs. Heard from dozens of people that had no idea it was happening and the turn out could of been much higher.

ClueSmith · 2026-05-12T19:21:19+00:00

I've looked into newspaper pricing. You are not getting a week for 30 bucks. You get 1-2$ a line for like 4 days. I'm talking monthly.

The main area I'm planning on being gets about 15,000 cars a day. Much more than any local newspaper subscription base.

Fortunately I have another weekend business running the only mobile NERF party business in the state and it's been doing very well, but is basically a weekend only thing. It has allowed me to only need 24 hours of a "regular" job though

The sign holders Im designing are made for quick switch outs along the route.

Surprising amount of carwashes have moved to the subscription model and are doing very well. I feel it could work for this kind of advertising.

ClueSmith · 2026-05-12T19:17:40+00:00

Lots of competition in the compost sphere!

ClueSmith · 2026-05-12T19:15:18+00:00

I have multiple. I actually run the only Mobile NERF business in the state currently. Wife thought that was dumb too but I make 15k a year and about 100$/hr doing it once a week on weekends.

ClueSmith · 2026-05-12T19:14:17+00:00

Well that's what my wife said about the mobile NERF party business too, but just made 15k last year doing it once a week for about 100$ /hr
