    So I tried this game a week or two ago, ran out of turns and got bored quickly. Tried again today (with 1200 turns!) and I'm finding it to be rather fun. Got myself up to level 5 (I'm sure more skilled players could have hit level 20 or so with that many, but blah!) working my way towards Death Knight via Fighter -> Mercenary. Yeah, I'm only level 5 but I've got ambitions!

    Dear Christ, no. Level 20 is hard to come by. Frequently, I found that the only way I was progressing through levels was through the daily jobs for free stats.

    Yeah it takes a while to get high lvl in this. The game is in a pretty criticall phase now. A bunch of people have reached the "endgame" and they have begun trying to balance that game for that, but there is a lot of work to be done there. The game is pretty complex and there are so many types of charms to take into account, it's gonna be damn hard to balance it properly.

    Doesn't help that one of the (two) devs just resubbed to WoW. :lol:

    Really? I found if you're smart with skill gain you can get up in levels pretty easily in that early range. Still takes a while, and you're not going to be gaining a level or two a day, but it isn't too slow.

    Another thing that helps with the game is making an alt as early as possible if you're enjoying it. Having someone to test out dungeons for you that maybe isn't as high priority as your main character helps make AP expenditure a bit more efficient.

    Plus alts can catch up pretty quickly, to be honest. I made my third alt when I was in the 20s on the other two, and all three characters are 40+ now.

    I think gatherings are capped at 10, 20, 30, 40, so rank 2 should open up for you when you hit level 10.

    Maybe the regulars can tell you better than I can, but while I was playing I found that level didn't matter so much as long as you had the right charms.

    In fact, I'd almost venture to say that you should put equipping yourself above levelling in terms of priority. Yes, you need to be X level to use certain things, but once I got in the 15-20 range I found myself severely lacking in certain types of charms (dungeon & crafted) because I'd ignored them in favor of straight-up levelling as fast as possible.

    Can anyone tell me how many of each mark you need for each tier 3 class item; I don't want to waste time getting 5 of each mark but I also don't want to have to backtrack all over the world.

    i.e. for slayer it took 1 mark of insight for 5 slayer blades, 1 mark of salvation for 5 mana ruptures, but then 3 marks of leadership for 5 sky's revenge. going down to the 2nd row of available class charms, will it take 1,3, or 5 marks of faith for 5 slayer's garb, and how many marks of unity for 5 cleansing dances? I assume all the classes require the same number though different types of marks, as my summoner required 3 marks for 5 of his 3rd class charm.

    The specific marks you need depend on the class. Here's what I do know though, which is general for every T3 class.

    -There are two charms where you will get 5 for a single mark. These marks are always the two types that you needed for the actual class change, so make sure you have two of each before you make the switch.

    -There is a group oriented charm that requires Mark of Unity, with 1 mark per charm.

    -There are single mark charms that requires 10k and 1 Angellium Insignia each. These are generally the best charm for the class.

    -There is another single mark charm that requires 5k and either more Angellium Insignias or Crystal Insignias.

    -There are two 6k charms that give two charms per mark. The marks can be anything, from what I can tell.

    If you really want to know specifically what marks for what class the waffles have this information for absolutely every T3 class, so just ask.

    Ok, the game finally has me completely stumped. Would someone be willing to spoiler a solution to Doctor Karya because I'm not even coming close with any character?
    She cleanses so poisons are useless, purges so buffs are useless, destroys summons, and gives -70 to both melee and magic right off the bat. The only thing that she seems to even take damage from is spirit and she has like 125 or 130 charms, so I'd need to do about 80 spirit damage; I can come close but without my soul wraith summons I come up a bit short. Is there a trick to this, or a combo; am I missing something obvious, or do I just have to go grind out more spirit charms? That wouldn't seem right though since a lot of spirit charms have power as a base which would leave a lot of classes out in the cold.

    edit: Oh, and I forgot to ask; are there mechanics available only through guild charms? I haven't been bothering to join a guild, but read something about armor/ward repel which I assume is the ability to target lowest armor/ward? If so, that seems to be a pretty important ability for non-guild battles too and I haven't found any charms like that in the dungeons or crafting. Also, found the answer to Karya; didn't realize that mechanic doesn't count for her debuff, guess I have a bunch of farming to do.

    Oh crud. So I find the game, find the thread, spend the past week playing and slowly reading through the thread... And now it turns out dudes haven't posted in almost a month.

    Are we still in on this? Is there a new venue for talkery?


    I'm trying to go Hierarch with my main, and whatever works for Spirit damage for my alt(I guess DK or Inquisitor).
