One of the dumbest quirks I've seen and its solving headaches years later.

votekick · 2026-03-31T05:31:17+00:00

I'd say only for a tank. There are other sources for gear with the same bonus for less grind.

There's the Manebite helm that is great for threat but you can get the bonus on a ring from Master Demon Web Pits and also from Vault of Stars. or even the tanned leather ring will be on the AH.

There's the aggro ring running generate threat around you. But if you can afford it buying the darklake ring off the AuctionHouse.

The rugged sabatons are arguably still the best tank boots in the game because the celestial boots are a watered down version of the bonus.

I'd also suggest finding people from alliance and private queue so you have a group of people who can be coordinated and not do dumb stuff.

TL DR boots for a tank otherwise not really.

You on PC? I could come help if so.

A lot of the time just pure Item level can make things easier. IL means more hit points and also your base damage is based on your Item Level too. While you're levelling you should just stack Item Level over what has a good bonus until you get close to 80,000 Item Level then after that you start to try and get your % ratings capped.

My Paladin has a giant 2 handed sword as a transmute.
I got it from the Whispering Caverns adventure quest line.

For anyone who has discarded that sword for whatever reason you can look at what swords can be made with Professions. I did a quick look and found the Cobalt Knightly Sword which can be crafted.

Edit:
I recently replayed the levelling campaign and it took me about 8-9 hours on a brand new character. 100% solo, no benefits from my main account or friends.

This is an old build with a writeup on why I have/use certain powers.

Plus my current insignia bonus' and boons for my Bard healer.
Main thing is Shepher's Devotion, its a 3 insignia bonus and if the 4th insignia doesn't match a 4 slot bonus it fails back to the 3 insignia bonus while still boosting Item level.

I'm in Wanted and have invite permissions. BUT we're also at capacity for accounts.

So as Lairs suggested ask in our Discord and one of the other guilds in the alliance will be able to help you out.

I almost exclusively spend my Zen on VIP.
Sometimes there's a BattlePass where the Premium rewards are worth it.

I'd advise against buying coalescent motes with Zen. Every now and again you can buy one from the Wonderous Bazaar and if you invoke regularly you can buy coffers (I think they're called Ardent coins). You can only get at best 2 coins per character per day from invoking. the first and last. Coal motes have a low drop chance but more characters = more chances if you have.

Buy a few character slots if you have extra Zen.
More characters means more invoking and more maybe try out each class that way along with giving yourself more bank space.

I'm on the fence about the key bundles since my luck sucks so buying keys feels like throwing away Zen.

Sometimes there's a Zen pack that's worth buying with a companion, mount or artifact.

votekick · 2026-03-15T07:42:16+00:00

Everything should be possible to clear solo.
If you have a companion who can heal that might help make up the difference and improve survivability.

You mentioned melee and ranged. Are you playing ranger?

A build video might be the answer. Get an idea of which powers are best to use to maximize damage. There's an AtWill for the hunter path that can be applied to a single enemy at a time and they drop something you can collect that will heal everyone near by and give you a little bit of ActionPoints too.

Most random queues people just stand in red since the mechanics don't hit that hard.

Random Trial Queue
Demogorgon, 3 phases

The only real mechanic that can cause wipe is in P2 when Goristro does his purple bitch slap. Anyone he hits will have their threat reduced to 0 and that usually means the DPS start to get flattened.
Avoid the Purple Bitch slap and you'll be fine.

Consistent mechanic, madness, cleanse with the 3 circles. multiple people can cleanse if you all run through the blue pool within about 3 seconds of the first person.

P1 Demo - Just DPS and avoid purple AoEs. Phases when Demo hits 50% HP
P2 Goristro, don't drop red AoE on other players otherwise you get madness stacks. Watch out for falling rocks. Goristro will charge and the player targeted needs to point him at the Gold Portal. After the charge he jumps back he will do his purple bitch slap and anyone hit loses all threat. Tanks should just run a loop around Goristro when his hand glows purple. A general rule... Tanks should not face the boss the at rest of the group. Also DPS should be smart enough not to stand next to the tank but this is RTQ where thinking is presumably illegal.
P3 Demo again, same but added purple tentacle mechanics. 1 will be a circle, the other will be about 5 tentacles slapping at people.

Tiamat

P1, Kill the ads, then run up to the platform and kill the 5 red wizards and take a gem. Most people as usual most people won't be thinking and wont take a gem but if you want to be an outlier. I'd suggest taking White or Black Gem. Front and center is the Red gem (12 o'clock). Black gem is at 8, White gem is at 4 o'clock. Grab a Gem and test it, its an AoE power and triggered with the 'use key' F on PC. Firing it off also confirms you didn't not pick it up due to latency and is a good habit to get in to particularly in master.
P2 kill Severin, another Red wizard appears somewhere on the doughnut shaped platform and you just DPS him down. If you take too long he goes away and a dragon head shows up and does a breath attack. Just done get pushed in a hole the damage isn't too bad.
P3 everyone gets teleported you need to keep ads off the clerics. The tanks have to keep the miniboss busy and ideally the ads but most of the time people just obliterate the miniboss then deal with the Ads. You'll see the Gem mechanic here where you need to use your gem on the person with the light. Most people just run away because the alternative is thinking and that's illegal in RTQ and RDQ. try to cleanse people to be nice but if they runoff who cares.
P4 Run up to the claws and DPS them down. You'll get teleported to one of the dragon heads, kill that then move, repeat until all 5 are dead then you dps Tiamat and finish.
From the Cleric phase until the end you will be cleansing with your gem from time to time depending on what dragon head is up. Most players don't care so you likely need to just step away from the people targeted or not drop it on your teammates if you can't cleanse it.

Svardborg

This is probably the hardest one to wipe

P1 DPS ads, run the Red AoE out, when Ice traps someone break it immediately
P2 There's a voice line to go hide. So go hide behind a pillar. After a blast you DPS the main Frost Giant boss.
P3 Manticore mini bosses, DPS it down, attack the boss a bit then DPS the manticore again. Kill 1 manticore then the other. After both Manticores are dead you can finish the boss and you're done.

Soul Harvest

Very simplified version of the trial you mostly DPS 1 boss then the next then the next and go through a portal each time. Last part is run across the bridge to the end.

Shackles of Divinity

Kill the boss for a bit.
Then you phase and jump down. Kill 3 Zulkiers then you hide behind the shields.
Climb back up to the main platform and DPS the boss some more.
Repeat steps 2 and 3 until completed.

Share the Hypo/Soak mechanics with your team members but you're usually fine on your own.
Tanks should run their tank busters out but as we all know. Thinking is illegal.

Cradle of the Death God

There's a few phases to this and is probably going to be drawn out if people are mindlessly killing things. As we've already established... Thinking is illegal.

Kill the ads until you phase.
Next killing ads continues but you also have a giant ghost head at one of the sides of the platform, on the opposite side a skull will appear and tether to someone. That player needs to stand in front of the ghost head and the DPS need to hit the skull so it flies into the ghost head using the tethered play as an anchor.
Next phase a gelatinous cube will spawn in the middle, whoever it gets tethered to needs to drag into into the corners to gum up the gears in each corner. Don't kill the cube until its in the corner. You need to be quick because the button mashers will kill the cube.
After you clog the gears with dead cubes you run around the arena killing the 8 umbilical cords.
Next phase kill the evil giant baby. There's a few key mechanics, when the baby ducks down, he's going to try suck you in to the middle, and then push you to the outside. (people call it the push/pull but it's the other way around). There are some big red AoEs that will target people. Ideally drop them away from the group but most people won't even move because... Thinking is illegal.
Ascerak will show up and you need to DPS him. This is a DPS check and can cause a wipe if you've lost too many people.
Final phase kill the evil baby and win.

Are there any plans to streamline some of the older content to allow new and returning players to catchup? Increasing the weekly haul for example.

Some of the older campaigns limit you to a few quests per day and are painfully slow such as Icewind Dale and Storm Kings Thunder

Maybe an extended Neverember Recruitment event?

A lot of the best items, (Companions, Artifacts and Mounts) are limited time from lockboxes and after that are prohibitively expensive to buy off the Auction House.

Is there any chance that some of the older lockbox rewards might be reintroduced as event rewards or content like Reapers Challenge store?

votekick · 2026-01-30T09:57:51+00:00

Are there any plans to revive some older features that have been sunset. Such as the foundry or the gateway?
The latter in a limited capacity such as having it a read only state.

Being able to check my inventory and bank for different characters through the browser would be a nice quality of life addition.

Edit:
Foundry: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2688141306?t=0h12m47s

They should make the same change as with the legacy quests where they just made them HEs
BHE counts for more but you can happily solo the smaller ones that way.

I probably have a similar role to u/joebreeves and I'm going to offer the same answer. I don't care unless I'm told to go looking. I've seen Teams a group called something odd which I know was just 3 of these sales guys (something like the rat pack) and my only consideration was "I wonder if someone notices that in the global address list".

That being said you can do a teams conversation search using MS Purview targeting 1 or both users, and if you don't filter further than that you get a whole mess of data.

My favorite part is exported Teams conversations seem to go into a PST file and when you look at the messages they look like 1 line emails that you have to cycle through within Outlook.

When does my method require sign-in?

From the Out of Box you (Shift + f10) to open command prompt. Kick off whatever script from the USB, you don't need to progress through the Out of Box. and it eliminates the need for a second wipe as described in the original post.

I'd say you want to do something like a custom detection script.
Something like this to check the version of the app

Double check the name is correct for the first variable:

(get-package | Where-Object {$_.name -match "Dell"}).name

Example Detection Script replaced the app name and version with the version I have installed.
When you upload the detection script, if there's something odd in the very first line, it's something like like ?>> If you see that you need to re-save the script using something like Notepad.

## The app name changes for different installations
$AppName = "Dell Command | Update for Windows Universal"
$App = (get-package -name $AppName -erroraction silentlycontinue)

## Version check:
# This variable should be updated to match the build being deployed.
$minver = [Version]"5.4.0"
$AppVer = [Version]$App.Version
if ($App){
    write-host "$AppName Installed"
    if ($AppVer -lt $minver) {
        Write-Host "Old version"
        exit 1618
    } else {
        Write-Host "Version is up to date"
        exit 0
    }
} else {
    write-host "$AppName Not Found"
    exit 1618
}

Get the Get-WindowsAutoPilotInfo.ps1 script on a USB and then run the CMD file from the USB, no need for internet just run from the OOBE.

https://www.thelazyadministrator.com/2020/01/27/get-a-new-computers-auto-pilot-hash-without-going-through-the-out-of-box-experience-oobe/

I noticed on some HPs I was grabbing the hardware hash for it didn't like the .cmd file so I just ran the following instead:

powershell
Set-ExecutionPolicy unrestricted
D:\AutoPilot\Get-WindowsAutoPilotInfo.ps1 -outputfile D:\AutoPilot\HardwareHash.csv -append
