Thanks guys/girls.

1. Cheapest method is buying the dungeon packs.

2. You can get up to level 15 I believe but after that the next place is the castle. You can grind to level up as high as possible or just go to the next campaign.

Thanks for the helpful response.

On my others I only accept players I have run with and they show they are proficient.

People just like larger friends lists for the sake of counting them or something? "Because" implies that hitting that button is somehow inherently enjoyable, and nothing exciting happens to me when I hit it...

Or maybe the answer to 2 is part of the answer; if you add everyone in the game to your friends list then you have more information on everyone in the game.

My experience has been that dungeons are easiest with a full party, but they are easier to solo than duo. I figured a full party meant that benefit of synergies between different classes outweighed the scaling, but two wasn't enough to get that benefit. But maybe they're just easier to solo than duo because typically that second person doesn't pull as carefully as I do.

I would say that a possible reason could be that the more friends you have the more games you can join. If you have a wider variety of games to join then you don't have to worry about PUGs. Also, lower levels try to friend higher levels because then if they need help they have a higher level to turn to.

It really depends on where you are and how much time you want to spend on it. Soloing at the higher dungeons is VERY hard. I would never recommend trying to do Keeper due to the fact that you can spend 30 minutes on it if you're not a bird. Also, try soloing a boss in the Sewers and let me know how long it took to get through the mobs and then the boss...lol...I can only imagine.

Hi,

I saw the chart that explains how much EXP you get based on threat level (see below).

I'm curious about how it works when you're in groups. I've seen that you get bonus EXP if you're in groups. How does that work? Is it the bigger the group, the better? Or do you just need one other? I'd love to get more details on this. Also, does having a higher level player in the group affect the EXP you get? Would the higher level player cause more enemies to be RED?

Quote:

---

Grey - zero exp per kill
Blue - 1/3 exp per kill
White - 1/2 exp per kill
Yellow - 1 exp per kill
Green - Similar to grey, but only for alien oasis 3 for some odd reason
Red - 1 exp per kill

I try not to be a bother to people in the game. I just started and occasionally end up in a dungeon with people over lvl 30, while I haven't broken 10 yet. I usually leave, unless I am there for a quest, in which case I stay to try to get it done. Anyway, that's beside the point.
I was wondering if there were a guide somewhere as to where to go to level up? I am still getting used to exploring the game world, but my quests keep taking me to harder and harder places and thought I might head to some other areas to work up a level or two. Also, I was just sort of wondering how far I can level before I should think about investing in some of the add-on dungeons and stuff. I enjoy the game so far, and I think I'll get at least some of them, but just wondering what sort leveling I can do outside of them?

Forest haven - 1-10
Dark forest - 10-15
balefort castle -15-20
fathom crypt - 20-25
lost expedition - 25-30
ancient swamps - 30-35
alien oasis(ao)1 - 35-40
ao2 - 40-45
ao3 45-50
balefort sewers - 50-56.

You can play each new campaign when you're two levels lower than the minimun, and continue to get XP until you are 3 levels higher. To get the most XP, make sure that the threat level is red. You'll continue to get XP up until three levels higher than the max. level, but it will be reduced.

there are a few side maps to level up to too:
wyldwood - 15-20
sand stone caves - 20-25
frozen night mares, croc feud, and skeller crunch returns - 30-35
shadow caves - 50

Feel free to add us, we'll go through the ropes with you.

There are some guides in the Players Guides forum that talk about quests and leveling up so definitely check there.

If you go to the world map and click (not enter) on each are you will see how many quests you have completed for that specfic area. So you can make sure you are getting all your quests done if that is your wish.

Also, the world map shows you the recommended level for each campaign and I believe you can enter at 2 below or 3 above and still get XP. That means that the recommended XP for Lost Expedition is 25-30. You can start playing there at level 23 and keep gaining XP until level 33. So this gives you more time to remain in a lower area and level up as high as possible before moving on.

Make sure you join games with a full team in the higher campaigns, as that makes life a lot easier. And if you don't mind hanging on for the ride don't worry about joining those games with higher players. They do most of the work and you get the XP. Most players are okay with that, otherwise they wouldn't be there. If they're not then just leave and join another team.

Ahh, that is a handy little quick reference, so I thank you very much. And so far, no one has said anything about me being along for the ride, so I haven't worried about it too much. I come to this game mostly from playing MUDs.

sorry another question... if you have 26 pots.. say because you took them from your stash, can you still receive any more while in dungeons or is the natural limit capped at 25?

---

It is capped - if you have 26 in your inventory the mobs start to drop items instead of pots. Some players stash all pots then go in lower level to farm health pots. I do prefer farming low level items, liquidate them and use the money for buying pots at Ellie in Forest Heaven town - 100 for 1500 gold.

What is the best low level spell for a Mage to assign points to, as far as damage goes? I know I should flood points into heal and at least one in revive to start, but what damage should I focus on first?

Hard to say. I grew Firestorm and Icestorm, that allow you to make combo by themselves and keep enemies at distance while doing damage. But Lightning does the best combo in game along with birds' root and Drain Life is great against bosses, they deserve some points too.

Heh, yeah I will look up later what spells are unnecessary to worry about in later levels. I was just curious as to what people thought I should focus more on in the lower ranks is all.

sorry if already been touched on...but is there a way to turn off cinematics so i don't get lagged and sometimes die :(

Can someone please help me. I can't find reference on it. I was in Load out and hit an inventory slot, I was quickly disrobed/disarmed (unequipped) and now my gear says I am not strong enough to wear it. Does anyone know how I can fix this.

Thank you in advance for anyone that can help.

^my guess is equip what you can wear that gives STR bonus...

Currently I believe the only option is to lower the pixels (if that even works). I've played with some people who say if you have push notifications enabled it can cause lag for others and that having more than just PL running in the background also contributes to lag. First option is to turn off all that u can first and go from there.

Ummmm...drawing a blank on load out but the most common reason you can't wear an item is because you don't have enough skill points in that category or are not a high enough level. Make sure it's the right level for you and you have enough int/dex/str stats equipped to wear it. Also, you might be able to try something on but that doesn't mean you can actually play in it yet.

Levels 10, 12, and 15 are the most popular in that range.

For levels 10 and 12:

These are for level 10/12. Level 13 is not very good, because I BELIEVE you do not get forest haven kills at 13. I'm not too sure on that though. Anyways here are my opinions for level 10/12. May work also for a bird but for sure a bear.

Full DEX

Full dex is probably the main choice of PVP twinks due to its high hit, crit and dmg. There are some builds mainly used. Expert is imo better for PVP then artisan but that's just my opinion.

Snowgun -
Helm: Sniper's Archer Cap
Armor: Expert Leather
Weapon: Pink/Purp Snowball Launcher
Ring(if possible): the 8 dmg and 2% hit
This is a good setup for max dmg output and being able to create your "shatter" combo but with a downside of lower protection.

Talon/Wing:
Helm: Sniper's Helm
Armor: Expert Leather
Weapon: Sniper talon/ Pink tinsel talon
Shield(Wing): Sniper's Wing/ Pink Peppermint Wing
Ring: Your choice if you want more defence or offense

This is for when you need to be a little more tank like while still putting out a decent damage output.You can swap out the Sniper and Winter items depending on if you want Damage(Winter Festival) or Stats and Defence(Sniper Items).

Doom Bow:
Helm:Sniper's Helm
Armor: Expert Leather
Weapon: Fiery Doom Bow
Ring: 9 dmg 1% Crit

I don't have too much knowledge as to if the bow is as good as it seems as I cannot test it so if someone could comment so I could edit it in here. All I have heard is that the bow is like a ranged dagger with a proc or 2. Also you may be wondering why 9 dmg 1 crit instead of 8 dmg, you need every little piece of damage with this bow due to its speed.

DEX/INT:

Int isn't really suggested for pvp because of its slow attacking speed but some people do it. I don't have any builds but feel free to post your builds and ill add em in.

DEX/STR:

The builds are pretty much the same as the full dex but instead you change one key part of the builds which is the armor:

Snowgun - Full Dmg Spec
Helm: Sniper's Archer Cap
Armor: Armsman Crafted/Forged
Weapon: Pink/Purp Snowball Launcher
Ring(if possible): the 9 dmg and 1% crit

The armsman adds 5/6 damage which is even more bang for your buck, turning you into a glass cannon.

Talon/Wing:
Helm: Sniper's Helm
Armor: Armsman Crafted/Forged
Weapon: Sniper talon/ Pink tinsel talon
Shield(Wing): Sniper's Wing/ Pink Peppermint Wing
Ring: Your choice if you want more defence or offense

Same as above.

Doom Bow:
Helm:Sniper's Helm
Armor: Armsman Crafted/Forged
Weapon: Fiery Doom Bow
Ring: 9 dmg 1% Crit

Same as above. The extra dmg from the armsman helps the already low damage of the bow.

STR/INT:

Not recommended as neither stat gives good gear for PVP. Once again this is my opinion so let me know what your guy's opinion is.

PVE:

PvE is a different ballgame as a int blaster is one of the main weapons you will be using. A DEX and INT build is by far my favorite.

DEX/INT:
AOE Blast Staff-
Helmet: Sniper's Cap or Dreamer's Helm
Armor: Artisan Leather/Sniper's Leather
Weapon: Buwanda's Doom Staff/Candy Cane Staff
Ring: Up to you

For PvE you need hit so I recommend Artisan Leather and Snipers Cap. A Sniper's leather may work but I got the JT lvl 10 armor so I could not test it. The Buwanda Doom Staff/Candy Cane Staff both have an AOE attack so it is ideal for rounding up mobs and finishing them with auto attack and stomp.

Full DEX:

For full dex all it really requires is a Sniper's Cap, a Artisan Leather/Sniper's Leather, and a choice of the mentioned DEX weapons listed in the PVP section including: Winter Festival(WF) Snowball Launcher, WF Tinsel Talon and Pepper Wing, Sniper's Talon and Wing, or a Doom Bow.

I hope this helps as it took me awhile to put it together on my phone.

upon going in the auction house i want to buy items but i cant figure out how to compare my stats like they do if the item is in my inventory. do i have to break out pen and paper or am i missing something?

You are not able to, sadly. It's either pen or paper, or just hope for the best.

At low levels, items aren't really everything unless you're twinking. You'll get through them fast enough you tend to not need to buy things until level 30, when you should get the elite Frozen Nightmares gear. Eg. Shivering, Iceberg, or Brain-Freeze.

Welcome to the forums!!!

yeah i figgured that it would be a waste at low levels i just wanted to know all that i can before i get to cap. thnx for the answer and thnx for the welcome. :)

No problem, and good luck leveling.

how do you start a guild? i read this whole thread for answers to some of my questions. either i missed it or its not here.

Guilds are unnofficial right now in the game. They will eventually be added with a guild system, but for now, you have to use the forum to advertise and run your guild.

So here, think of your guild name, requirements and what your all about, then post a advertisement post here.

Guild Discussion


Good luck with starting your guild! Ask away if you have any more questions.

Thanks Otukuraka, I'll probably go with a level 12-15 dexbear. Am I missing something btw or does focus do the same thing as rage, only better? Why aren't there more twink archers then?

I use an Iphone4, and when I go to PL and it connects to the server, it gives the option of a "Registered Account" When I click on the registered account box, it as for an email and password. So I type in my email and make up a password, but it says my email is not on file. What am I doing wrong?

You need to register an account before logging into a registered account.

I'll rephrase nthat. HOW do I register an account, How's that?

Oh,wow, I looked, and I honestly don't know. I'll get back to you on that.

EDIT: Got it!

1) Use unregistered account
2) on the screen after the loading screen, there will be a few buttons, enter world, log out, and below that is one called my account. Tap it.
3) Click the yellow button that says register account

Good luck!

I have seen some players wearing a glow stick and a hate shield at the same time while wearing a hate helm and armor.

Then I thought, there arent enough attribute points to be able to wear both those items. As you can tell they're opposites, int and str.

So my question is, how can I be able to wear a glow stick while wearing a hate shield/helm/armor at the same time?

Sweet, a complicated question. Okay Roasty, time to give you the advanced breakdown.

Requirements are level 53, anything lower is impossible. You will need 55-56 to do Balefort Level 51 & 53 gears.

You can do pretty much any variation of elite lvl 50 items you want, other than dex on an enchantress. For example purposes, I will be showing you one of the most common builds. Full Keeper of the Shadows with a Hate Shield Equipped. This variation of str and int is most commonly seen on enchantresses and sometimes bears. You can do these on other classes, but due to the default point layouts, it is not as effective, since it requires higher levels. You will need a total of 315 attribute points, str and int combined, to equip both a guardian and keeper item at the same time. By level 56 and Level 50 Elite Gear equipped, you can have a total of 331 attribute points.

Points needed**
Strength - Required 158 Str
Intelligence - Required 157 Int
158 + 157 = 315

Points Available**
Level 56 - 275 Attribute Points
Startup: Enchantress - 7 Intelligence 1 Str
Gear: Guardian's Shield of Hate - 12 Str
Gear: Shadow Helm, Shadow Armor, Glow Stick - 36 Int
275 + 1 + 12 + 36 = 324

Your goal is to have 3 Shadow Keeper items equipped, while having your Guardian Shield equipped. This is a more complicated version of the Dual Build. You will want to have more points Directed towards Str, since it will have less items to support it. Or vice versa, have Guardian Equipped while having a doll equipped.

You will need 3 Int sets and one guardian shield. Or if your doing str gear and bracer, 3 str sets and a doll.

Intelligence -
Level 30:
Brain Freeze Set:
Dreamers Ice Mage Snowcap - Level 29, 90 int. 7 int bonus
Brain Freeze Ice Wand - Level 30, 93 int. 7 int bonus
Brain Freeze Yeti Shaman Cloth - Level 30, 93 int. 7 int bonus
Brain Freeze Magic Yeti Eyeball - Level 30, 93 int. 7 int bonus

Level 45:
Thoth Set:
Dreamers Khafra Helm - Level 45, 138 int. 8 int bonus
Khafra Cloth of Thoth - Level 45 138 int. 8 int bonus
D'Jinn Wand of Thoth - Level 45, 138 int. 8 int bonus
Imhotep Eye of Thoth - Level 45, 138 int. 8 int bonus

Level 50:
Shadow Keeper Set:
Keepers Helmet of the Shadows - Level 50, 158 int. 12 int bonus
Keepers Armor of the Shadows - Level 50, 157 int. 12 int bonus
Glow Stick - Level 50, 157 int. 12 int bonus
Creepy Doll of Shadows, Level 50, 154 int. 12 int bonus

Strength -
Level 30:
Iceberg:
Polar Bear Snowcap of Legend - Level 29, 90 str. 7 str bonus
Iceberg Frost Knight Plate - Level 30, 93 str. 7 str bonus
Iceberg Frost Knight Shield - Level 30, 93 str. 7 str bonus
Iceberg Frozen Sword - Level 30, 93 str. 7 str bonus

Level 45:
Mynas:
Mynas Helmet of Osiris - Level 45, 142 str. 8 str bonus
Mynas Plate Mail of Osiris - Level 45, 142 str. 8 str bonus
Scarab Buckler of Osiris - Level 45, 142 str. 8 str bonus
Zuraz Shock Lance - Level 45, 142 str. 9 str bonus

Level 50:
Guardian:
Guardian's Helmet of Hate - Level 50, 157 str. 12 str bonus
Guardian's Armor of Hate - Level 50, 157 str. 12 str bonus
Guardian's Kite Shield of Hate - Level 50, 158 str. 12 str bonus
Shadow Hax of Hate - Level 50, 158 str. 12 str bonus



Guardian Shield with Shadow Keeper:

275 points Level 56
1 point default str + 145 = 146 str.
Equip Mynas Helmet of Osiris, Mynas Plate Mail of Osiris, Scarab Buckler of Osiris
3 x 8 + 146 = 170 str
Equip Guardian Shield of Hate
275 - 145 = 130 points left
7 points default int + 130 = 137 Int.
130 - 130 = 0 points left
Equip Dreamers Ice Mage Snowcap, Brain Freeze Ice Wand, Brain Freeze Yeti Shaman Cloth
7 x 3 + 137 = 158 Int
Equip Dreamers Khafra Helm, Khafra Cloth of Thoth, D'Jinn Wand of Thoth
1 x 3 + 158 = 161 Int
Equip Keepers Helmet of the Shadows, Keepers Armor of the Shadows, Glow Stick
4 x 3 + 161 = 173 Int

There ya go. You now have Keeper armor, helm, and glow stick equipped with guardian shield. Do the process, but flip str and int, if you want to equip guardian with a creepy doll. Also don't forget to account for the default difference. Also, at level 56, you have 15 points extra since we used level 56 attribute stat points.

All it is basic math, in very long equations that sometimes confuses people. So if your handy with math, it should be a cake walk to figure it out. If not, you might need some assistance from someone who is good with numbers.

I assume you mean "how do I" instead of "how did I". If I remember correctly you have to be level 34 and up to do the first area of alien oasis. Once you hit 34 you should be able to join it through join game.

Don't know exactly where it is in town because it changed up and I am always too lazy to walk around there. Someone else will probably know and be able to give you directions to it better than a gps.

1.) No, Spacetime's drop system is the fairest system out there, based on absolute 100% luck, nothing else effects it. If theres one person in the party or 100,000 people in the party, you still have the same exact chance of getting a rare drop.

I have two questions about this.

1. Just recently, I think in this thread somewhere, I read that the more people in a group the greater the chance of a rare dropping. So, does a group with two people have the same chance of getting a rare as a group with four people, or the same chance as a full group?

2. I'm sure the part of your post that I quoted makes since. I'm just not following it. If I'm in a group with 2 players and a rare drops, I have 1 chance out of 2 of getting that drop. But, if I'm in a group with 4 players my chances drop to 1 out of 4, right? What do you mean about 100,000 people being in the party and everyone having the same drop rate?

They are separate accounts, unfortunately. On the main login screen of the game, look towards the bottom of the screen, there should be a 'register account' button underneath the 'Play' button :)
