  • I got a gravestone! After 70-90ish chests, there it was!
  • Did 30ish Grimms on 3 of the shards starting today - no masks. Very disappointing, I really liked the mask pics posted online. I'm not going to miss the rest of the Event cycle chasing after a one in gods no how many chances to get a mask. Devs shou…
  • The masks that Grimms supposedly drop are very, very rare on Baja and Origin, hopefully this isn't intentional? Out 150 kills that I know of, there was only one mask. Please readjust the drop rate. I am enjoying the Manifestation Event and the "head…
  • LilyGrace said: I hope fishing and pirate hunting will be additions down the line. Who doesn't want a legacy of being a famous pirate hunter?! Me I want to be the Black Sheep of the family, and leave a Legacy of an infamous Pirate, a S…

  • Anyone get Grimm mask yet? Over a 100 have been killed on Baja & Origin yet no mask. Maybe Community Manager is correct on on 10/29 release date for this aspect.
  • Got Bulwark of Light too, for my macer But also five of the three different titles. But all 6 Pages of Lore I got are no repeats Could be I had 2000+ LUCK when shield dropped. Then 690 for last 5 manifestations...
  • I chose Resist Spells foe my Advanced skill for Mage and also chose Focus because of the paucity of Mana Regeneration gear.
  • Use a Commission Vendor. If priced too high, didn't cost a thing to place on vendor, A week later you drop price by 10% and so on till you get a buyer.
  • I was able to place a house in the far north of Ice Isle. It's on shore so maybe ships/fishing will be added at a future date and I can then moor a small ship there.
  • If you are house owner, you should pick up a Deceit town quest to do while you are slaying your 20 magical creatures for Resist quest.
  • Take the Moonglow maze transporter nearest the entrance and it takes you to within a screen of the Master's House. There is a pentagram outside bldg and the Master is hidden so You need to look for quest sparkler or hit cntrl-shift keyes to show him…
  • Once my Mage could make a full set Vanq Slayer spellbooks he could hold his own when groups attacked Bosses and always got a drop.
  • Zero to 10 minutes now - I have to remake character each time I attempt login but I assume one I get on, the character will be in the menu.
  • Kalsey said: Ok, I just went back and tried to log in again, got the window and this time the wait estimate was 10-20 min.  So it must hold one's position. Same here so I'll try again in 10 minutes...
  • Whitewolf said: man this forum has become as toxic as Atlantic, its why i dont play there anymore, was just asking for an update on Halloween events, even if it is recycled stuff from years past i still have fun doing it. I'm ready to enjo…
  • Archer makes sense with a Crafter build. You can make your own ammo any time you run out. I wonder though if the primary skills of swordsmanship and lumberjacking combine for more damage like they do on prodo shards... Pinochle said: Just a …
  • If i play NL when it starts, my Mage character will definitely be a farmer. The gold for regs adds up...

  • The only bribes I've done are Scribe ones in order to get the Reagent Belt (solid seller for 40K-50K). The sbods bribes ranged from 60-120, the lbods were very high (for newish NL chars) 1100-1400 gold. The Carp & tailor BODs don't have any wort…
  • If the release date is in SEP-OCT time frame, you all will get the jump on many of us. We'll be doing Event Arc, Halloween, filling BODs and then XMas  event, krampus, Festive Tree. I won't be looking at NL until after the New Year.
  • I clicked aye instead of cancel when I was doing a tailor quest delivery there and the quest followed me until I broke down and bought a basic membership. Maybe when NL goes live - and I have the gold to waste - I will make a "Thurston Howell" ALT t…
  • Where is the Heartwood Tree for the Carpenter end quest, please. My skill says GM Carp but I still need to learn how to work the three high color woods. Thank you much!
  • I tried last weekend to place on Ice Island as well as this morning. No go
  • TY Garrett! I know what to look for now.
  • Ahh - it was Fogsbane's post on Stratics: "I think i have these right - i used item id but the stat reveal never 'stuck' and for each piece i had to constantly re-id cause it didn't keep being shown and i couldn't remember. Guarding - DCI 6 Accura…
  • I'll find out Friday morning if I can place a house on Ice Island. Hopefully they "zoned" some more areas to build.

  • Thank you for the verbal help during the game and also for the free rune book to my Warrior character, Ian
  • The BOTs don't really bother me because they increase the respawn time and quantity of the mobs. I usually play am mystic-mage-spellweaver and bury myself in the midst of  BOT squad and cast area spells and summons. The mobs have to attack the BOTs …
  • I enjoyed the Void Pool during the early weeks on ATL and got tons of hats because the large number of  BOTs kept the spawn racing along. I just got in the middle of the BOTs and cast area damage spells. When most of the BOTs dried up, I turned to p…
  • I'm pleased with the Wildfire hue on my Orc Reiver - especially w/seven pumpkin cannon. Have two charges left so I will xshard to two other shards and try out the Demonic hue and maybe the Black one.
