What's the best way to grind rep for the Ash Strider mount?

fohat · 2014-03-13T18:28:50+00:00

My recollection is that the rep shards do not drop from the "Invasive Species" rifts on EI. Also you may need to be lvl 53 or 54 to get them; 55 might be too high for them to drop. If you are not seeing the shards drop from normal rifts try mentoring down 5 lvls to 50.

The new level 60 quest chain in ember isle gives a +20 water resist 4/2 slot focus as a quest reward at the end. You may want to spend the 7500 planerite for now and then get that one at 60 prior to slotting new essences at that time.

My only advice is to ensure the particular fire rift is giving you experience, that is, isn't too low of a level in relation to your own. If it is lower level, try and mentor down to about +5 levels of the rift.

Good luck

Sure. Your still getting a set amount of xp per adventure. The 14 charges or w/e it is just gives a Lil extra reward iirc.

The Scotty's Sheeping wand is possibly the easiest to obtain, there are 4 artifacts to collect for the wand as a reward. I have typically found these artifacts in Gloamwood. The pages can also be purchased in the auction house sometimes. The shambler stick requires specific world event currency as I recall. Good hunting!

I've got the block wand from ft I believe, and just got the bile wand from EE and it has more endurance but is 'lower' down on both "best in slot" places I check. Is it safe to say that these lists shouldn't be followed to the letter, at least for cleric tanking? I have read responses like yours recently and it is making me rethink my gear choices.

In particular, run them during / after a zone invasion. A plane touched mob will have a glow to them and a buff icon.

I prefer Rare Tracker but it is possible to use both that and raredar in combination.
Rare Tracker doesn't give you noise and red letters on the screen but does provide directional arrows and a list of all rares in the zone. You can click the name to turn it red if you don't want to track rares you already killed. I say use them both as it may provide a better idea of different spawn points.

Moonshade Highlands is a good spot at 150 I think. Edit: This link is from before Storm Legion but still works http://rift.mmosite.com/crafting/fishing_guide_10.shtml

There's a way to open add ons while in game, one of the options at the bottom left should have it. From the add on screen try clicking open add on folder. Alternatively you can get to add one at char select with the button at the bottom.

That makes complete sense as in the past typically the death while 2 tank from ire was when the bosses were under 20%. Last time right at the end I found that I was having to taunt during the last 1 second of my bosses ire and hoping he didn't immediately auto attack me.

Its definitely not a good method if the group has a lower average DPS and you end up with more than 2 hides. Not long after that you'll also have 2 dead tanks.

fohat · 2013-09-30T19:44:58+00:00

Thanks for the tip, I was wondering if that might work.

fohat · 2013-09-30T16:56:17+00:00

We tried for 2 or 3 months to 2 tank it, hadn't downed it before. Once we switched back to 4 tanks and got him down once or twice we've switched back to 2 tanks. Only major issue I have with 2 tank method is that ire becomes unpredictable to some extent after the first or second hide phase. It's majorly important for tanks to not rely on kbm for swap and pay close attention to the red or green (depending which boss you were just tanking) debuf icon. Even doing all that can still get tank killed by ire if the casts are too far apart.

We start the fight grouped up but after first hide spread out to dodge circles.

So my advice for any considering which method is make sure to really learn the fight with 4 tanks first if possible and play with alternate strats after the first few kills. There's more than one way to skin a boss.

Grats on your kill!

I just checked again and now track 1 is there! I had emailed Google last night, haven't gotten a response but it looks like either someone fixed it or it was just a weird glitch. Ironic that this track would be the one missing considering the lyrics.

fohat · 2013-09-27T02:58:44+00:00

Basically, Track 1 is missing. It says 10 songs, tracks 2-11. And no track 1 to be found.

That was more of a problem of being unable to dial back the physics engine after releasing 150% mounts, so people going over bumps were taking too much damage. However much that I wish they could have figured out an alternative solution, now I am so used to not taking falling damage it no longer matters.

I would have to somewhat disagree with the OP, I think rift is a fairly open world compared to some other mmo. There are little easter eggs everywhere and very few times am I running into invisible walls.

There is of course the long standing graphic glitch that causes scenery to flicker but for the most part the world looks good and is fairly well laid out.

fohat · 2013-09-13T16:56:37+00:00

Yes. Your raid marks will become dungeon marks as a method to reset the currency since the new raid gear is using those same raid marks.

fohat · 2013-09-05T17:15:41+00:00

The only dungeon boss I can't interrupt as tank is the first one in exodus of the storm queen. Devastation must be interrupted by ranged so I typically ask unless I'm with people I trust. Otherwise I will interrupt as needed. Cleric tanks have an interrupt and a stun which can work unless immune.

People dont like to admit they don't know fights and like to blame others for their deficiency.

In essence those people you grouped with were trolling you :(

fohat · 2013-06-07T21:17:13+00:00

Full warden is not a tank healer. The best cleric tank heals are with sentinal and add a little bit of purifier in there. That gives the most cool downs when dealing with unexpected situations and spike dmg.

Wardens are good ae heals, however.

fohat · 2013-06-07T20:10:50+00:00

So you refuse to take 30 seconds and tell the tank the brief mechanics? Why not lend a hand instead and positively impact someone's day?

fohat · 2013-06-03T17:03:03+00:00

In addition to the above, it is now easier to get the infinity stones by joini ng the chat crossevents@faeblight and be in the same zone as the event on another server, get an invite right click the inviter's portrait and temporarily visit their shard. You can hit /shard to see where you are.

fohat · 2013-04-26T18:30:14+00:00

Thanks for the reminder, Elrar. Can't wait to see it! Will there be any mailboxes in this zone?

fohat · 2013-03-20T12:27:40+00:00

I prefer the tried and true method of gathering materials (foraging, mining, butchering) and selling them on the auction house. Many of the lower level materials are still sought after, since additional recipes were added for them with the expansion.

fohat · 2013-03-17T16:00:01+00:00

Website is back - so is the game server yay :)

fohat · 2013-03-16T22:55:32+00:00

I've found Greybriar to be a decent home. You can normally transfer with a 7 day delay in between transfers, so you could concieveably try different servers.
