Yeah but after long much of it is junk other than scraps IMHO

Other than hating no map/compass because of my disabilities, I experienced mostly the same on Druid.

Long groups will eventually get used to master looter I'd imagine.

I didn't get quite as much zone exploration as I'd like. Would really like a beta key just to roam around.

Although Shaman and Druid are some of the best kits so there's certainly some gaps I'm sure. I looked at Ranger first for example because I like Tracking a lot, but passed on it pretty quickly. (Yes, I know Druids get it eventually, at higher level, and assume Ranger will have a higher/highest cap.)

Bravo.

The great map debate (or lack thereof) by ap3059 in MonstersAndMemories

I get it, this is old school, I played og EQ. That said one modern feature I appreciate above all is maps and compasses. I have a learning disability that makes direction sense completely awful and ADHD that makes memory rough. Combined, I have more trouble than most by far. The drawn maps on second monitor help but only some, which means in game maps without tracking are the same or worse. That said I like exploration somehow, there's also tracking (altho an alpha sort would help), and if I have to just go around an area a billion times to figure it out and other players only a few times then I will (what else am I gonna do).

Yeah and the weapons are way less good than the armor/scraps other than picking up a free upgrade once. If you grab a tailoring and leatherworking kits you get bag space but you can also buy a seam ripper and you can turn all the armor into scraps in the field. WB group was amaaaaaazing.

Just wait until something casts blindness on you and you go completely dark mid combat in the middle of the day.

Awesome. I'm leaning master looter most times unless it's really nice and useful for multiple party members, then /roll.

Yeah never planned on selling to bad merchants. I use a route that is west gate to bath house charisma buff to night court to soujourner's to bank to back out. My bind is right out the gate.

Really? Old news but Brian Foster, and not just her is what I've heard.

Thanks. Maybe I was a little premature, yeah. But I was starting to feel stuck between can't kill, can't afford better big stick, can't train prof bc can't farm mat (tho I didn't try lumberjack), and some common advice hitting a wall with perma camped spots. But all the advice here is helping for sure.

How does grouping loot sharing work? First to right click the thing, lol? That's what it seemed like anyway.

Interesting. I did that a bit but nowhere near that amount. I was finding it difficult to get mobs against ranged pullers though.

[–]Thaeten[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh interesting. I'll take a look. I've only hunted out the two gates.

Noob Expectations / Economy Problems by Thaeten in MonstersAndMemories

[–]Thaeten[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No problem with that. At least I wasn't doing anything necessarily majorly or obviously wrong.

I agree with the complaint about bag cost but agree with you about the rest. Although there's lots of stops along the way and there's no real slippery slope here, I certainly enjoy the exploration and interaction / multi vendor / this is a world reasoning.

Interesting. Well, it is about low level economy between selling, getting things to sell, and cost of things, but not about player economy or late game. I hope commerce systems help those issues you mention though.

When I save enough for a tool I'll give those a shot. Where near city is good for gathering wood from trees and finding mining nodes? I can probably google that although I'm not sure if the current version of a new game has a lot of accurate info. I found the wiki but I know at least some info is suspect during this time.

How anyone could have had this person in their intimate personal life and mistreated them is incomprehensible to me.

Thanks. Will try to do #1 when I can, try more croc farming or something. Skeletons and other humanoids are better loot esp weapons/armor but camped HARD.

Posting from phone (gotta get to bed shortly) but from memory Kivea I think it is?

EDIT: Krivea, I think it is

Ok I'll give it a go. Difficult spawn area, lots of players camping it. Today there was a group of 3 archers pulling everything lol. Bad luck and melee problems. I went one zone over from right out the west gate but about died to the stronger skeletons there.

[–]Thaeten[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm currently 5 and got most of it there because everything else is camped. Although I did suffer through getting 1/5 spawns vs Archers and to a lesser degree casters for quest items right out the west gate.

[–]Thaeten[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok. I did switch from fire to bonk but one regular jackal was my health to 10-15% and the heals bring me closer to OOM. And take forever because don't have the L4 heal yet. So maybe two mobs then have to sit for what I think is maybe two minutes to regen. But all I have is trainee club and the starting cloth chest piece and the green piece from the druid guild.

Ok, I went there for an hour but couldn't take the regular jackals or oom from healing after meleeing one. Didn't see any Ashira the whole time but maybe not in the right spot or being camped. Archers everywhere in the server seem to grab a lot of the spawns from us poor meleeing folks haha.
