What is MEZ?

I haven't been much on PL for the last week or so and am going to actually have to work this coming week (Yeah, I know :P ).
Wasn't sure anyone was still low enough to farm L51s. I have one. I'll PM you when I get play time again.

Riccits -- assuming my time conversion is right -- 6pm MEZ (or CET) would be 1pm US Eastern. Hope that is right. I can be on and would like to farm 51 gear for an hour or three. My mage is level capped at 51. IGN: Doubletimetoo.

I keep hearing about people farming these and I'm getting confused. The lv55 versions are better and they actually form a set. Is there really a market for the lower level versions?

Noob question: where are they farmed? Which boards?
Thanks! ;-)

Riccits, that is about 10 pm PST to 1 am PST, and they don't call me "Gramps" for nothing. I usually stop watching Babylon 5 and start getting ready for bed around then. But if I am ever on around that this week, I will look for you.

Noob question: where are they farmed? Which boards?
Thanks! ;-)

It is just a matter of playing the Sewer boards with a party made up of people that aren't over level 52. You get level 53 drops from the mini-bosses and (assuming you clear all or most of the level) level 51 drops from the bosses.

We had a pretty good run so far today. Lots of good drops and one pink level 51 recurve. Not too shabby.

Snakespeare
03-21-2011, 02:41 PM
It's really the oranges that sell so fast, if you price them between 7500 and 10000. Greens and purples sell, too, for 20 to 40K. Pinks... not sure. People are listing L51 pinks around the same as L55, but the L53s are 1/2 that. Presumably there are wealthy players who want to sport pink gear as a 51, but once they reach higher levels they replace them with L55 because they can make sets and customize them.

Well, drat! I'm too close to Lv53 to get more than just a few runs in ;-(
BTW; thank you for the explanation :-)

No problem. You can always turn off XP gain to get in a few more runs. I have it turned off on my mage alt just so I can farm this stuff. The orange and green drops really do sell pretty good.

Yeah it didn't make sense to me that pinks were that desired for that level. The other colored gear does make sense since most groups have level 55's so those gear don't drop.

Yeah. I laugh at myself sometimes because I will be like "yeah a green autobow. Good drop." hehe

Pinks don't sell that well but oranges and greens go like hotcakes.

Idk les but I sold a purple gemstone shield for 80k. Got a RR leather Im currently sporting tonight! HUZZAH! 51 oranges and greens sell as quickly as snowball launchers! I normally play from 6-9pm CST add Callima if anyone interested!

Riccits...I tried to take a few days off this week so I could farm with you but alas, Mother Nature is wreaking havoc and we mere mortals have to deal with the aftermath. And 6 thumbs up, +5 cupcakes, +10 charm points and 1000 pretzels or whatever the rating system is on forums for making this thread! :)

Riccits

Hi all!

It was a nice farming yesterday! :) 3 Pinks dropped to :) It wasnt easy to keep 5 guys playing but it was worth!

For them who dont know why we do this is bcz every lvl 51 item is worth about 10-50k. So every drop is worth something! Doesnt matter what u get!
For example got a mastermind robe wich as lvl 55 is worthless, as lvl 51 should go for 40-50k. Its not like looting a Gemstonesword and get 1mil, but its fine money.

@Les ur always welcome! :) i plan this to do may until the end of the level cap, so i will add everyone and all are welcome!

They are cheaper and have great stats compared to lower orange/greens in the game. In MY opinion some purple gear is actually better than pink at that level as well (if you are obsessed by regen rates like I am).

Riccits, I have you on my friend list but not sure about my archer. I have a 51 bird that i turned off XP on because I've been level 51 farming with Snakes and Stomp....add Cowboyjimarch to your farming character and I will join when I'm on at the same time......thanks. I finally sold my pink lvl 51 sewer hammer for 250k....

I've managed to get full sets of lvl50 elite gear for each class and it didn't take long to realise that a full Lvl51, 53 & 55 set of pinks for each class wasn't going to be happening in the near future. The lvl51-55 Orange,Green and Purple gear is actually not that bad if you pick the right stuff for your playing style.....

Thanks for selling it...

I finally joined the fun because DT and Ech been telling me to do it, so I set foot in BS as mage for the first time. oh boy have I found a new leaf playing as a lowbie-bird charging-spamming happy mage!!

It’s a bit hard to get a lv50-52 together at odd times though and sometimes it really feel weird to ask lv53-56 to leave because trying to get a group together. I have only booted people twice in my PL life, (sorry full and sorry lv52 under only) maybe I am just a bad host heh, when I always ask people to leave by themselves instead of booting.

There were players who would leave immediately when seeing lv50-52 in the group; there are lv53-55 players who would exp pot immediately before we have a chance to say anything. There are nice players ask if the group is purposely staying in 50-52, and there are players who would just want to have fun like I do and go regardless what the group is like heh.

Funniest one was in Hideout. Lv50 / Lv52 mage started, Lv54 bear joined, started killing. Lv23 joined, I was hosting I didn’t care. Mage died and left or left shortly after lv23 joined (cant remember), then a lv20-30 joined. Me and bear didn’t care (lv54 full hate Nkazsamurai, cool bear with great wall skills) then a lv17 joined and asked please don’t boot.

By the time we stopped in front of fever, Nkaz and I then realized hmmm maybe we are not enough for boss, but giving everyone were good sports and all, what the heck. Nkaz and I potted up and changed in with the rest. Of course fever bombings were going left and right, me and other mages were ressing left and right. Nkaz and I took turn dying and kept fighting. It’s one of the funniest game I’ve played ever lol.

It’s so fun being a lowbie and just play like you don’t care.

Anyway, sorry for long post. I hope to meet you guys for some under lv52 fun!

Still waiting for a group to come together! Someone let me in! My attempt at it was going great until two of my "friends" I found out didn't like each other. Started fighting during the run, and after Gold Fever Started mass killing, he and one of his buds left and the group disintegrated. Very discouraging.

Sorry for the delay reply, i just now read this message, you are right undercutting has occured alot latley, brutal n I have been farming 51 for quite awile now, we have seen a dramatic jump in 51 gear, to the point its hard selling them now. Most of the time the prices are due to others undercutting us by so much we just off load the gear, so the undercuts are not to go under you as much as the other players who pop on and uderprice by 1000s . If you have any ideas pm me.

Also the sales fluctuate according to the waves of players who are new to 51, we seemed to have hit a quiet time but soon an influx will happen again :)

It is just a matter of playing the Sewer boards with a party made up of people that aren't over level 52. You get level 53 drops from the mini-bosses and (assuming you clear all or most of the level) level 51 drops from the bosses.

I have been collecting one of each 51 item by soloing the mini bosses with my 51 mage. I was planning to stop the exp near the end of level 52 so that i can continue until I had one of each. When i made level 52, i was surpised to find that the mini bosses started dropping level 53 items. So, this is a complete disaster for me. Is there any way to roll back my level?

I guess my options are to either make a new character, or just try to buy all the 51 items that I am missing. I really thought 52 was the cap for 51 items. I'm really sad about this. :-(

csb if you join a farming group that are all 52 or below the main bosses will drop 51. Add Ilikealot, Jadedsun, Isniped, Xcarver, Chinasyndrome, Cocamager for starters and when we have a farming group running we'll add you to help you get the ones you need.

People are listing L51 pinks around the same as L55, but the L53s are 1/2 that. Presumably there are wealthy players who want to sport pink gear as a 51, but once they reach higher levels they replace them with L55 because they can make sets and customize them.

What does it mean to "customize" a set? Is that a crafting step that adds stats?

51 items are valuable because they are easier to put on with a dual spec character. The stats requirement is lower on 51 items making it possible for a 55 mage to wear both str and int level 51 items at the same time. For example, a mage can have a fury shield and a gemstone wand at the same time using level 51 items. But, this would be impossible with level 55 items. I prefer the look of shield + wand, since i don't like the look of the mage eye, skull, doll, or bracer.

Yep, I think by customising they meant crafting, although currently crafting doesn't actually 'improve' stats but re-arrange/re-balance. Some think the stats aren't actually an improvement, some like them. Check out the crafting section in my list of useful guides below.

Is it really impossible to wield lvl55 gear on dual spec? I thought it was possible?

I don't think he's talking about dual spec, he's talking about equiping a STR shield and a wand (for example) at the same time. Dual speccing it's completely doable to equip complete lvl 55 items of each stat, but I've never tried equiping say a DEX wing and a sword. Correct me if I'm wrong csb.

Just to clarify, I think he is talking about dual spec in a way, but not in the traditional means that say I would think about it, to switch between complete sets of gear, like all STR or DEX.

Ok, its like this. Suppose you are a level 55 mage, with the following starting stats naked:

step 1: (naked level 55 mage, 280 total stat points)
current stats - str: 137, int: 141, dex: 2

step 2: (get to 161 str)
Put on 30 Iceberg hatchet/plate/shield
Put on 45 Mynas Osiris helm
current stats - str: 166, int: 141, dex: 2

step 3: (put on fury items)
put on 51 fury helm/shield
current stats - str: 175, int: 141, dex: 2

step 4: (get to 157 int)
Put on 45 D'Jinn Wand of Isis (requires 138 int)
put on Khafra Cloth of Isis (requires 142 int)
current stats - str: 161, int: 157, dex: 2

step 5: (get to 161 int)
Put on Laser Wand of the Cosmos
Put on Mirage Robe of the Cosmos
current stats - str: 161, int: 163, dex: 2

step 6: (put to 161 int gear)
Put on 51 Lowman's Wand
Put on 51 Lowman's Robes
current stats - str: 161, int: 161, dex: 2

Now you have 2 Lowman's and 2 Fury as a level 55 mage.

And, try doing this swap during a boss fight. hehe.

Right, you can dual spec in the traditional sense of 4 (or 3) pieces of one kind of gear (str, dex, int) but you can't use gear of more than one type unless it's 51 and you are 55. So for example, I have a 55 mage that is 129 str, 149 int and 2 dex. With proper boosts I can wear 55 str gear, 55 mage gear, or go 3 str 1 int (wand) that is 51. Which means I can use bodyguard helm and shield, lvl 51 fury plate (which I happen to have from these farming runs), and a gemstone wand. The problem with switching around is in the number of loadouts (you really need a 5th or 6th to make it work more quickly), but with the extra int I can go from "lvl 51 wand pally" to full 55 mm blast staff set in one move.
