  • Thanks again for the invite! My new Thrower (34 drops)assisted by my 2nd computer Stealth Mystic (24) got 58 drops total in 45 minutes, so I was happy   On ATL I usually use a a Stealth Mystic/Mage/Spellweaver  assisted by a Mystic Tamer w/fully tra…

  • If the spellbooks are available I think any of the posts so far would be a big improvement!
  • Blackthorn is my favorite event!  Unlike any other event, everyone that does a small amount of damage on each Boss gets a drop into pack (1-3 Minax items).  It takes a good sized group to run through a pod relatively quick but I average 50ish drops …
  • Maybe toss a few rewards onto the BUCs Pirate? I have the Pumpkin cannon, helms, and Pumpkin raft so these items would drop in value, but with Halloween around the corner it would be nice for newer players to get the chance to acquire these seasonal…
  • Popps - what I do is place a ship near dungeon entrance, fill the cargo hold with 300 orange petals, fish steaks and pet food. Each character has an insured rune and after a death robe pops back to ship a restocks 10 of each perishable. I don't even…
  • Generally I carry a -0 Mage Weapon Balakai staff  which gives me the equivalent of 120 weapon skill (I have 120 Magery) when it comes to Defense. I thought GM wrestling would allow me to use the mods on my slayer and high SDI spellbooks while st…
  • Pawain said: I didn't know rug location influenced tmap locations. Since Fel maps are worth more than Tram ones, i would behoove me to move my two rugs to my Fel castle.  Thanks for the info! I think the only guarantee is the rug gives fe…
  • I added GM wrestle to my SW/Mystic/Mage to provide a little bit of defense so I could take advantage of my equipped 50SDI spellbook and SDI25 Flame Slayer during this event. Afterwards, will soulstone and go back to Hide/Stealth.
  • Drop rate and spawn need to be increased. Other than that, I'm pleased with this event.
  • Kyronix said: We've updated the reward costs on Origin based on feedback.  The Lorebook pages are still 1 point each, which is all that has been claimed thus far on Origin. Thanks everyone for the feeedback. Many thanks for the price redu…

  • I play CC. When doing a VS search and  I open a vendor and see dozens of jewels/weapons/etc all jumbled up on each other, I log out in place then change to EC just so I can search the vendor for the item that I want. EC is  also nice when searching …
  • Too bad Craftsmen like Tinkers can't modify talismans. I have 5 Flame Slayers (my tali jewelry box was a happy surprise!) and one of them is FS w/o any other properties.
  • Pawain said: TimSt said: I'm going to sit this one out. It is like the devs read my mind and decided to use mobs types that I do not like fighting.   You get the pages in the early spawn usually.  You just need to get points by heal…
  • So it's only active on Origin (and Izumo & Sonoma I guess) ?
  • I hate the look of the helmet in CC for the Darden's Armor so I transmog'd that to a Tricorn hat for my Pirate Lord necro-archer. The 4pc Dardens set has great mods and can be complemented by gloves and gorget and jewels to make a specialized suit.
  • I ran 10-12 characters (fortunately 2 gargoyles)  through the original medallion quest chain before learning that anyone (gargs could only use garg version) could use the medallion once it turned blue. Sold 1-2 back in the day and loaned the extra m…
  • I believe I've seen this mentioned before, if others are in area there is no need to kill the required critters, just do some damage on it which gives you credit and allows others to whack it as well.  This works very well at Lake Kappa and inside t…
  • I'm assuming either a Tinker or Alchemist w/glassblowing sub-skill will be able to repair earrings...
  • I used 2 tamers on ATL and finished quest this morn (2 days) - - Kappas were my final kills on both.  The first Tamer got the earrings :-) and the second one got dissected animal corpse. I will quit while I'm ahead and return to the high seas - much…

  • Need 38 Kappas to complete my first run-through, sure is a lot of critters to kill! I have a guilldmate  who's on his 10th Yukio run but has had bad luck - no FCR3 125 Luck earrings yet. It's going to be terrible on the weekend on ATL, I'll finish t…

  • I'm there, Pawain, Ameoba Island  - what do I say to Z? I see a blank Hook map and i tried to quest toggle action figure, naught happens
    in New Quest Comment by Hippo April 2021
  • I may have last quest first - i gave the Hook map to BUCs gargoyle and got the action figure and co-ords... Where do i really begin quest and where is the tin of trinkets?

  • Rest In Peace, Ur - you will remain a Legend on Legends, My friend...

  • Once the shield pirate shield recipe is available I may buy a shield transmog potion for some reforged & enhnaced shields I have. Or better yet, I''ll save 700 doubloons and reforge a blans pirate shield.
  • I play two pirate crews: On Legends I use Necro-Archer in wraith form wearing Repond Cameo with a HLD/SSI/HML shortbow  and a Mystic-Mage-Tamer w/Mage mastery Unicorn on two computers.  When attacking a beacon I gate and additional GM archer and Mys…
  • Pawain said: Hint for repairing cannons. Hold a +60 hammer to use a lot fewer ingots. Use your carpenter to repair the ship if it is heavily damaged. Can my archer-mage hold the +60 hammer and get the benefit or doe sit need to be someone…
  • Great write-up! Reminder to the landlubbers tackling a Beacon for the first time - unlike other vessels, they do fire back - and will do serious damage to your ship! Make sure you have some wood planks and cut-up cloth in your cargo hold to repair a…
