Aaaaah, freedom :) I am having such a blast these day, I go do all kinds of things, mainly cause I can. I got my kindling stones and made my Exarch plate, it doesn't buff to totally uber status, but it has great spells. There was a patchday, (well two patchdays, heh) and it was time to look around for another place to lifestone than dusty and laggy Ayan Baqur. At first, I spent some time looking around vendor buyprices, most towns that gave 90% had too far to the places I needed to be. So I lifestoned in Mayoi at first: I usually hunt on OP, it's not crowded and it's not laggy. There's a ton of varied monsters outthere, Tuskers for xp, Shadows for loot, golems for kicks, peas and keys. You really get to test your limits outthere, it'll still be a while before I can tank an entire shadow camp at once, I seem to forget it tho and end up at the LS a little too often. I have alot of fun clearing out Steel Chests, and after spending all my muled keys (Got most in OHN, with the melee) I had allmost all my Item scrolls. And after a little trading, I had the rest, so it was time to visit yet another essence: Now, I have 290 Item with the Exarch plate on, but that is still way too low, i fizzle like a madman, looks like I'll stick with VIs a little longer. back on OP, I hadn't really payed attention to how much xp I was making, untill I had allmost levelled. I found an annoying Shadow Wisp and levelled of it: I had alot of fun the last week or so before the patch, killed a ton of Shadows and made a bundle of cash. After they patched and changed the loot selling system I thought long and hard about how I wanted to hunt. In the end, desicion was to LS at Chalicmere (By the C-note Undead portaller), and Portal Tie to Mayoi. I love being a European sometimes, schedules can be terrible regarding quests, but for Aerlinthe hunting they're great. I can get to camp the Corals somewhat in peace, other nasties spawn around there, but so far I only died in one ambush, but White Wasps. I plan to run around the island to the castle later, but right now inepts still hurt me too much to kill Varpors, I'll give it a few more levels. Hit 52 tho: I am having great fun with my BM, I know alot of you outhere are still struggling to make it to 50, but hand in there you will have so much fun once you make it :)
