New Rogue, this is addictive!

[ilhanna]

I know what you mean. I lost over 20 pound the first month I was in my guild where teachers, and more importantly, friends made the game sooo much better that using my hands for purposes other than spamming skills and pots seemed superfluous. And sleep is for the weak anyway, right?

Others had given great answers to your questions, so I'm just here to tell you there is no such thing as silly questions. We all start knowing little (see HERE for examples) and questions make us better. I know a rogue who asked many questions much like yours first week in my guild and two months later he is a good mythic elite addict rogue.

Have fun and good luck in Arlor!

Welcome to AL, I'll be the first to say that your life is officially over!! Legs hairy? *looks at own* you must be a girl to even care XD

Anyways, yes, Kalizzaa's post is about as accurate as it can be when it comes to this game. Nice to see someone who has a fresh perspective on the game and realize that having perfect gems isn't necessary. Heck, I have a few sockets that are empty here and there so that I can sell the gem to fund pots in elites!

I'm not sure how much gold you have in the game or how much you're willing to spend real life money, but the current system of elites is set up such that you will burn through so many potions that mana regen and hp regen pets just can't possibly keep up with your button mashing spam.

Elites do tend to get a bit pricey aside from the potions, as you'll now need ank kits (revive you at the boss WHEN you die) and also luck elixor (to reroll those thousands of gold items in elites). It's awesome that you got to cap now, and you'll get to experience your first winter event! I suggest you do as many free energy runs as you can a day, as well as farm energy essences as well as gem essences during the event as they will prove to be the most profitable for you. You'll be looking at around a few hundred thousand to perhaps a million in gold if you farm for essences like mad!

Anyways, the point of this game is ultimately elites, if you would like to see what running elites is like, drop me a message in game.

I think it's more the people I work with who care about whether my legs are hairy or not, it's summer where I am!

I've been farming like a mad thing, but get mostly locked crates. Which is good, except the two I excitedly opened up absolutely weren't worth the plat. I sold the ten I had yesterday, then someone in my guild said I should save them for the winter event... doh! He reckons locks and essences will be used for something??? I'd better get more inventory space once I have enough tokens.

What's an energy run? What's an energy essence for that matter?

I've run a few easy elites, rooks nest (just to get Malison), and a gold mine. Don't think I'm strong enough to do much more just yet with my starter gear, I will keep saving for those grown-up weapons and armour!

What else am I supposed to do as a 41, besides farm? The day I hit 41 I felt a bit lost, without XP to chase.

What else am I supposed to do as a 41, besides farm? The day I hit 41 I felt a bit lost, without XP to chase.

1. Try to get lucky with crates, the endgame is really hard to enjoy at 41 without mythics/arcanes (both PvE and PvP).
2. Come back on forums and complain about PvE being unprofitable and dead and PvP unbalanced.
3. Prepare and give it your all on an event, it's where people actually spend gold on new stuff. Combine with first option for better results.
4. Still come back on forums and complain.

Some ideas on what to do to prepare for the Winter event. Yes, I would advise keeping those lockeds because during event they can be crafted into event locked that sells at (relatively) higher price than lockeds.

During event, to enter event map you need one energy. You got 3 energy and if they are used up you will get one in eight hours. But while waiting, you can also farm for energy essences to craft into energy. Essences are usually farmed where there are large concentration of mobs, like the Watcher's tombs. While farming energy you can also farm essences for gems and for crafting event lockeds.

Some ideas on what to do when you reach 40+. Basically farming, achievements and elites.
