It's time to reincarnate and i have no idea what to do with my gold...

Why there is even limit on dead currency?

Buy cannith essence.

 

[Reinhardt]

I just visited auction and bid on every cheap tome. Now my money are back in my mail.

Thought i'm prepared for reincarnation. I was not. Prepared chronoscope set for lvl 5 > red fens sets for 7 > barovia for 10 and so on, but nothing for levels 1-4.
I think i need to learn some crafting and prepare starting equip for next life because it will unlock elite difficulty and even slower exp gain. Something with invulnerability would be nice for start. Lowest i have is lvl 5.

Well maybe I'm just a scrub but this seems excessive, lol. Beginner gear is plenty to get you to your level 5 gear imo. The warforged barbarian hirelings can more or less solo Korthos and early docks, and that should get you at least to level 4.

If you're a spellcaster, make sure you get your hands on an Alchemical Stone.

I played this for a couple days, like, ten years ago. Is it good yet?

I'm 2h paladin and can easily do it myself. Still having equipment would save lots of time i've spent looting chests. Now i only picking guild renown from rewards.

 

[Hoaxmetal]

Just use Borderlands gear for early levels.

 

[Reinhardt]

That's pretty much what i'm doing right now.

When they were doing the whole free quest coupon till the end of August, I was hoping what they would do is make all the quests included in the coupon free to play after the promotion was over. Then everything released after the coupon would be stuff you had to purchase. That way new players wouldn't feel intimated with all the content they have to buy or feel like they were forced to go VIP.

But with the adventure packs being on sale this week, it looks like they aren't going in that direction. Which is really disappointing, cause I keep on seeing people interested in trying out the games in the stream I watch and before the streamer could just point them to the free quest coupon and discount expansions. But now there isn't anything like that. I hope they change their mind, cause there is a lot of stuff to purchase in this game, they don't need to keep so much behind a paywall and scare new players off.

Yeah I'm playing with my wife on an alt, level 4 now and she was really feeling the game during the free period, we did the level 3 gatekeeper quests and she was eager to play more. Since then we're relegated to ancient kill hoards of kobolds for no reason quests and she's ready to move on now. The difference in quality between free (see, old) content and vip content is huge. But she's not willing to jump for VIP.

The people in charge of monetizing this game are retards.

 

[Reinhardt]

Yeah, without quest coupon i would abandon this game long ago.

 

[rusty_shackleford]

hmm, switched from using scepter + orb on my alchemist to dual scepter and my casting animations seem to be shorter

 

[Reinhardt]

I'm still only lvl 9 on my second life. Just log in for dice, do few quests and log out. Playing each quest only once and only on higher difficulties feels much better than having to do it 3 times. At least i'm not overlevel everything.
That's how game should be - all quests are free and all difficulties open from the start.

Hate to break it to you Reinhardt but they stopped accepting Subway giftcards as forms of payment

Have you tried paying with Steam lately, btw? They were having issues with it before and it seems to be fixed now.

They refuse to accept money from my region. Raycis fuckers.

 

[Reinhardt]

And btw i don't want to pay them anymore anyway. I'm fine with slowly gaining ddo points and waiting for next sale. Not playing that much anymore.

 

[rusty_shackleford]

Any tips for not sucking at wizard? I'm getting wrecked in content I've had no problem at before and I burn through SP so fast

 

[Reinhardt]

Lvl 10 at last. Barovian equip.

Once you hit level 2, switch to Fighter and stay there.

 

[rusty_shackleford]

doing a lot better now that I've learned to play it
enjoying evocation a lot more but I really dislike the wizard enhancement trees. I don't want to play as a palemaster at all but you're pretty much forced to at least use it as your off tree, and archmage kinda sucks.

15 with decent gear already, it's an iconic

I've never played a wizard myself but from what I've heard almost everyone uses ether Pale Master and/or Eldritch Knight as their main trees. Archmage is pretty much completely ignored except for a couple enhancements. There was a forum thread in the general DDO discussion I remember looking at where it talked about how to not run out of spell points but I can't find it now.

But if you ask in the general forums they should be able to help you optimize your Wizard.

 

[rusty_shackleford]

Fixed it by stacking the shit out of spell points. I have nearly 4k at level 22.

 

[rusty_shackleford]

resetting your enhancements can get expensive at higher levels
