    It wouldn't be so bad if you weren't required to go back and forth through the entire dungeon so many times, if you don't already know what to do. And even when you do know what to do, your going through everything at least twice!

    Also the 20ft deep pits of lava..... ouch. I was freaking out at one point when our scroll carrier (the final item you have to give to the guy) fell into one of those. Luckily we were able to get his stone as he was really close to a ledge, but damn.

    Waterworks quest rewards are better than anything else in Harbor. Like, my drow barbarian now has +2 weapons in both main and off hand. And I had to solo the last fucking part.

    What is the point of having diehard only during rage? That is completely and utterly useless.

    You have a better chance of living if you don't have rage and just hope that you stabilize.

    They're having problems with the system. Make sure to submit a ticket via the website (not game). It might take a while, but they'll get the pts to you. There are a couple threads about it in the DDO forums. You can find the right link there. You have to submit a ticket if there is a problem with your TP!

    It's just the points. Everything else is basically working as far as I can tell. Some people just don't seem to be getting the points automatically like they should, so you have to report it and they'll get them to you.

    All right, so I'm pretty sure I'm going to pick this up again (Played in beta/launch) now that I can do so for $free, but from what I understand this is still a very team oriented game. Do we have any specific classes/roles that need filling? Any of the classes really sound like they would be a lot of fun, I just want to get some D&D action going on here.

    I've submitted two tickets via the website (making sure it was about "Turbine Point Issues"). One over a week ago and one yesterday. I haven't even gotten an automated message saying my ticket's been received, much less anything about resolution.

    Hi! I've just started playing as a rogue (still level 1) on Cannith and I'll be looking to join the Lookouts once I'm a bit more familiar (I played a bit with a paladin and a ranger, so I'm not a brand new baby. Soloing some quests that were easy as pie for paladin or ranger are pretty hard as a rogue!) but I have some questions... What's UMD? Also, I noticed in my character sheet it says there's a level cap of 4... does this mean I can't play past level 4 without buying something?

    So if anyone sees Bloo Shampoo, halfling rogue in Korthos please say hey! Usually on evenings EST.

    Use Magic Device, lets you use Items that you normally could not [Race/Class specific] if your UMD is higher then the UMD DC listed on item.

    At certain levels you have to find/buy a leveling Sigil to progress, they drop as Quest End rewards or can be purchased at DDO Store.

    You can always send a mail to an officer asking for an invite, when they log on they can send you a guild invite sigil back. Feel free to send a mail to Niladaya, I check it daily even if i don't play the character that day.

    Anyone have any tips on how to pick weapons? So far I have just used the Weapon Damage rating I think its called. But that seems to totally preclude daggers, shortswords, mauls, and lots of other weapons.

    Eventually your going to have a dozen different weapon sets as a melee character. For a pure rogue your most likely going to end up running with a rapier/shortsword combo most of the time, except when your up against something resistant to piercing. ((Unless you go thief acrobat))

    For a pure barbarian, as a first character with no financial basis, I would go with using Greataxes or greatswords. Decent one handed weapons are expensive because of all the dual wield characters there are out there. Only having to pick up one weapon per situation saves inventory space, and money in the long run. Both Greataxes and greatswords are covered with slashing weapons, so you get a wide range without taking an exotic feat for a khopesh or whatever.

    Yeah, I'm only Level 5 and managed to pick up a +3 Greatsword on the cheap, along with a +3or4 Chestplate.

    I usually run with Power-Attack on, should I run it as more of a situational thing? I'm trying to decide whether the increased damage is worth the reduction in to-hit. Especially when going face to face with enemies since its not often I have a tank to turn the creatures away from me.

    Now that they've fixed the attack speed problem, you should probably run with either Falchion (crit range) or Great Axe (crit modifier) on a barbarian. Or go mauls and save some money since most people use slashing two handed weapons. If you buy the Delera's adventure pack, there is a great axe end reward that is quite nice for low level characters.

    If you're having problems hitting the mob, then turn off Power Attack. Otherwise, leave it on. If you get too much agro, then maybe think about turning it off--although a decent cleric will appreciate only having to heal you if the other party members remember to stay behind the mob so that only you are taking damage. Rogues will also love you since then they can keep their backstab bonuses.

    One of my guildmates on Sarlona is a Rogue/Barbarian using a Vicious Falchion. As long as she's got a Cleric dumping heals on her, she does pretty nutso damage.

    Did we ever find out if DR [Barbarian DR in this case] lowers the damage you take from Vicious weapons?

    I know that armor-based DR (Adamantine) does not prevent damage from Vicious. I'm not sure if class DR is coded differently however.
