    Yeah one of the big things about this game is you can’t do very much content on one character so you need at least 9 alts
    I have an eventual goal. At one point I would like to be able to tank, DPS, or heal at level cap on every data center in the game. Granted, from here it's going to take two server transfers to make that fully happen, and for now I've been waiting to see if they eventually declare any to be Congested so that I can hop over on a free ride.

    Reminds me of when I used to play a ton of Dungeon Fighter Online. So many alts.

    For the record Zay is being very Zay. You can play every single class on a single character.

    I need suggestions for things to try RE: leveling up in the GC.

    I've been stuck at Chief Serpent Sergeant forever and google is utterly fucking useless. Every suggestion I've come across ive quickly done, or already had done long ago. No dice.

    Finished ARR
    Did Amdapor Keep/Lost City
    Did...some other duty that was suggested
    Hunting log 2 is done

    There's either a sneaky sidequest somewhere that I missed, or it's one of these other random Hard duties I haven't done like Haukke or something. Or it's a bug. Found some similar posts from like 2013 with the same problem and some people thought it might just be bugged.

    It actually just occurred to me that they might have added more ranks in an expansion, so maybe I need to advance through HW more? Or beyond?

    Any ideas? Somebody please make this make sense. Everything I've read indicates that I should have it unlocked.

    Complete the sidequest “Gilding the Bilious” available from Vorsaile Heuloix

    editing in the full list of requirements: "Completion of Hunting Log: Order of the Twin Adder Rank 2, Gilding the Bilious (Twin Adder), and 9,000 Serpent Seals"

    I did that within the current expansion cycle and the only things it required was Gilding the Bilious (which sends you to Aurum Vale... not sure what requires AK) and the hunting log.

    yeah usually the weird gc stuff is either a hunting log or some side quest that involves doing an optional dungeon

    at least until the last couple ranks and the squadron comes into play

    lol wtf

    I had that quest done a while ago. When I posted, the guy insisted I didn't meet the requirements. I logged out for a bit to see what y'all came up with.

    Logged back in to check on that quest, found out I already did it, then went to talk to the guy again...but now its all good apparently. :P

    ...

    Thanks, y'all. No idea what finally fixed it. I've talked to the promotion guy every day lately....but today, when I finally ask about it, it just suddenly works.

    Friggin weird

    I had to move superbolide away to a new spot because I kept it where my paladin’s invuln was, and I kept reflexively hitting it whenever and giving healers heart attacks.

    So a week or so of hard grinding later, I manage to run through to level 60 in Eureka just in time to get into Baldesion. Doing great too, until we got to about 30% on Ozma and some jagoff goes full Mhach with an Ozma meteor(you never go full Mhach). Sadly I did not get my mount tonight.

    At least I am in a position to start catching some of those Discord runs, one way or another I'm getting that damn thing.

    I'm loving MCH right now because unlike my BRD, poorly timed burst windows are completely my fault instead of a dice roll. I love being in control of my failure.

    BRD is top tier "class I like playing best when I'm to tired to worry about fucking up".

    I'm not a huge fan of the BRD leveling experience because its basically 50 levels of slowly making your rotation actually function right.

    This is a good guide, but Palace of the Dead goes way further then 51-60 now. I think it goes to 200?

    51-60 are the potd floors people spam to level side jobs, so they're the only relevant part to what the video is about

    Yeah, PotD the content goes up high

    PotD the leveling content you can find people actually queueing for only exists in 51-60

    Is there actual content in the higher floors? Like story stuff, or new mechanics? Or is it the same as the lower floors, but more of them?

    Realizing lately that I don't really trust or respect basically any of the moderators here. So, good luck with life, friends! Hit me up on Twitter @DesertLeviathan

    Floor 100 is the end of the story. 101-200 is a higher-level duplicate of 1-100.

    There is a story to POTD, and your chances at getting the more rare cosmetic rewards gets higher the deeper you go I believe

    the later floors of palace of the dead (and heaven on high for that matter) are great if you're looking for challenging content for premade groups of 4, something the game otherwise mostly lacks

    As long as you gotta stable connection anyway, cause they are loooooooong and there ain't no checkpoints

    Also I think if you do up level 200 you get a mount?

    They can't target you if they can't look directly at you.

    past floor 100? I thought 100 to 200 was a straight shot.
