    Anyone still playing this? Would love to do some of the elite dungeons and glint's challenge with some competent people.

    So turns out being able to have 7 heroes is "pretty good". I am absolutely destroying shit now.

    Gonna try Glint's challenge at some point with this, should be very doable with only heroes.

    I need to get a list together of all my minipets; I am 1 point away from 30 in my HoM and I want to be good to go before PAX.

    I have some decent CASH, and I will offer it to anybody who can help me get some minipets, armor sets, or weapons. I think I'd need two armor sets unless it was Vabbian which, ew rubies and sapphires.

    Just started playing again, it's been a couple of years. Just have Prophecies but I'm determined to finish that campaign... eventually. I have a level 18 Elementalist so maybe I'm not too far away.

    Does anyone have a link to a checklist of everything that is unlockable? I like to keep track of what I have picked up and lost the one I had the last time I played.

    Let's just run DoA a lot and you'll get the rubies and sapphires in no time (unless you're like me who never gets them from the coffers). Anyways, I have a couple extra mini pets somewhere if you're interested. I'd have to look to see what they are though.

    What do you mean? Like skills that you can get from quests or something? The wiki has most of any info you'd need.

    I got a mini rurik on a pre-searing toon, when i bring him out, you can have him if you don't have it.

    Uh, does anyone have some "Hard Apple Cider"? I need one of those to do the "Ebon Vanguard Allies" quest for WiK :s

    Also, i assume that doing WiK is a good thing, right? Or is it something that i should leave unfinished in case i want to farm something in the future?

    I'm pretty sure I consumed all my alcohol towards the ale hound track :(

    Also. I AM 31/50!

    Now to get Mord up there...anybody have a Unique unded mini they will part with for some cold hard cash (or some gooey, wet, ectoplasm)?

  • derangedhermitderangedhermit Madstrike PortugalRegistered User regular
    Found someone in Spamadan selling them for 1k each.

    No uniques minis here, sorry :s I'm going to be doing the moa chick quest for that ... well, only need to do Sorrow's Furnace now

    If you have nightfall, I would seriously recommend doing some treasure hunting. Last time I went, I got a few sapphires, along with a decent amount of cash (20k plat is common). Also, if you're killing Beetles, take their Geodes, and salvage them with an Expert or better kit; there's a (albeit small) chance of getting rubies or sapphires.

    I got my Vabbian set eventually, was NOT fun amassing 200-300k worth of gems. Also, if it helps, if you don't want the full set and just want the HoM point, don't worry about the helmet; as long as you have the chest, leggings, shoes, and gloves you can dedicate it in the hall.

    Good luck.

    Wow, yeah, glint's is a piece of cake now with 7 heroes. I will be doing it for a while now if anyone want's to join. At least until I have enough cloths of the brotherhood. I'm in the guild, character "Sour Stripes".

    Interesting day. So i get home and decide i'm tired of my warrior armor sets. I don't have that much platinum (~130k) but i wanted something new and to use for HoM so i go to the Norn armor vendor and get a new set and go down to 60k after getting it all runed up.

    With my new armor, i go do Frostmaw for the zaishen bounty and ... q9 demon fangs drop :> 1 minute later, got 25e for them.Well, i guess i can grab more armor now :D

    Very nice!

    I was lucky to get a nice tonic from my 6th bday which will help me armor up. Just need to sell some ectos to make it work.

    So I need a Branch of Juni Berries to get the Black Moa Chick mini, but apparently I've somehow managed to glitch Toma into not spawning for the Insatiable Appetites quest. I'll totally pay if someone would be so kind as to grab one for me.

  • derangedhermitderangedhermit Madstrike PortugalRegistered User regular

    Typically we ran elite areas on Friday night, but we haven't in a while. If there's enough people that would be interested, we can get it going again.

    So, uh, today's Zaishen Bounty is "The Greater Darkness" in Ravenheart Gloom (DoA). Since i usually do all of these in HM, do i even want to try this out with heroes??

    That would be very hard indeed. I suggest getting a group. Shouldn't be too difficult to find one with the bounty but...may be hard to win.

    Accidentally bought the Oppressor's Command Shield when I already had an Oppressor's Shield dedicated in the HoM.

    Anyone able to trade for any other Oppressor Weapon?

    I could use an Oppressor's Shield in my HoM, but I won't be able to get another one until at least 3 weeks from now, assuming I manage to get all of the Wanted quests done. Unless you want to hold onto it for awhile, you'll probably have better luck trading for it in Spamadan.

  • Cobalt60Cobalt60 regular Registered User regular
    I'm fine with holding onto it until then.

  • AutomaticzenAutomaticzen Registered User regular
    So, through channels I have received the Guild Wars + Eye of The North pack. I have a few questions before I delve into this space.

    Should I purchase Factions and Nightfall as well?
    If I do so, can I purchase them on Steam, or am I locked into off-Steam due to my original copy?

    I write about video games and stuff. It is fun. Sometimes.
  • Cobalt60Cobalt60 regular Registered User regular
    I think Steam gives you a CD key which you then enter in game to link your accounts. So yes, you should be able to buy them on Steam.

  • derangedhermitderangedhermit Madstrike PortugalRegistered User regular
    Not sure about the steam thing but about the other question: IMO, yes.

    Factions has 2 of the most powerful classes in the game, imo. Nightfall has probably the best campaign according to general opinion ... and gives you heroes. Prophecies and EOTN are great but unfortunately, for most, the Prophecies campaign pace is quite slow.

    If you can find Factions and NF cheap, get them. If not, try the prophecies campaign a bit first until you get to Lion's Arch(you can't start EOTN until you are level10) and then decide if you really like the game or not.

    Nice, i need to do that too. It's the last mini i need for that section.

    Finished my 5 elite sets http://i.imgur.com/hCmOc.jpg . I really wanted Vabbian but seriously fuck Sapphires & Rubies :( I thought about getting Elite Kurzick but i think the normal set is better looking than the elite set (for females) and the gold i'd spend buying the amber chunks is best spent on hero armor instead.

    Now going to do the Glint AFK Farm and buy some primeval armor remnants (don't think people farm the other two, do they?) and then do SF, FoW, UW and DoA for the statues, mini, pets and (tormented) weapon.

    Then i can enjoy some quality time with my Ritualist :D

    I'm doing DoA now. It's okay. Sucks that you get booted from the instance if you wipe.

  • YannYann Registered User regular
    Got everything done except the final mission. Wasn't to bad with heroes. The final fight an Mallyx seems like it's a bitch though. If anyone else is planning on doing it let me know.

    There's only a few tough spots for DoA in NM. Mallyx isn't that bad, especially if you use the glitch where you press ESC right when the door opens after killing all the mobs. Allows you to pull Mallyx out of his room. I really have to do a lot more HM DoA at some point to get some rubies/sapphires.

  • YannYann Registered User regular
    I did a few good attempts yesterday, but I can't break the final wave. Sometimes the double 8-9 wave kills me as well. I guess I need to look into different hero builds, but at this point I'd just rather join a pug or something.

    Are people doing normal mode Mallyx without farming builds? Are you playing a lot these days Geod? We should totally hook up.

  • Cobalt60Cobalt60 regular Registered User regular
    I did it with this Hero setup:

    Me - Warrior - Dragon Slash + Save Yourselves + Gaze of Fury which is very important.
    Rt/X - Sig of Spirits Channelling. + Resto Heals
    Rt/X - Sig of Ghostly Might Communing (Pain, Shadowsong (disable for mallyx fight), Disenchantment, Dissonance, Anguish) + Resto Heals
    Rt/X - Soul Twisting Communing + Resto Heals
    Me/Rt - Domination - Panic
    Me/Rt - Illusion - Ineptitude (disabled for mallyx)
    Rt/X - I think this one was Weapon of Remedy + whatever other spirits I hadn't already packed in
    N/Mo - Unyielding Aura, Animate Bone Minions, Death Nova + Prot. This hero had pretty much every skill disabled for the Mallyx fight

    I've been quite busy over the past few weeks, but I keep intending to get back into it for the HoM stuff. Pug groups can be decent enough to do Mallyx for sure, but if you need help I'm going to try to play tomorrow (though I'd have to go through DoA first). You can try Colbats build too, I did it with heroes once as well.

  • YannYann Registered User regular
    Hmm, I will look into those builds. I'm playing a dragon slash warrior as well. Not using that many rits though.

    I was surprised at how tough those waves were, considering I pretty much coasted through the rest of DoA. Foundry was a bit annoying at times.

    Anyway, if any of you guys want to hook up and do shit I'm totally up for it. If nothing else just to change it up a bit, I've basically soloed all content in the game so far...
