BigPapa Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 I don't know how you pure melee's do it. Tons of consumables, which cost money. Tons of money for said consumables. Rinse and repeat if killed and looted, or if blackjack and looted. I seem to always run out at the most inopportune times, and or get my arse handed to me when i finally have what i think i need. Any secrets, tips, suggestions that anyone would like to throw out there?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
English lad Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 An obvious one - but keep consumables in a closed container, and set alias' to open container, get xxx container, Quaff/eat/drink xxx, close container. Oh and I find it best not to go on runs for consumables, but just to get them as passing, that way they're don't have similar lifespans and all start running out in the same few hours.

Iusedtobesomebody Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 Money is easy to come by, if you know which mobs carry the most gold for the time spent to kill them. Also, do you guild quests, they offer nice change for easy time spent. Edit: Jim and Sam is Ofcol offer nice change, are in a place I rarely see people and are fairly easy to kill 25+. Edit2: I miss the Illithid larvae. They were real cash cows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldbond Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 there really should be a mob in the forest or something that preserves herbs for you. also that mob could perform a Know Alignment on another PC, just for fun. (suggested this before) besides if anyone needs preserved herbs it's melees, and why have to rely on some preserve-skill PC to sell you any; if you're a melee you really have no time to hope for that.

Kyzarius Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 establish a route for gathring, and run this route when your idle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calron Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 I dunno what you are buying with gold, but I've played a lot of melees and I've never had any consumables that I paid for. The only thing you might pay for is flight, everything else you should just be collecting. And yes, don't go on consumable "runs". Those are utterly boring and not that effective anyways. Just pick things up when you go by different places. Consumables are scattered all over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pieman Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 Hehe, my favorite way to gather consumables is to kill someone and take theirs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spiegel06 Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 well depending on what melee but one thing I used to do was get a locker and put the ones that I get there as backup (in a closed conatianer). That way if I die I can get some easily. You can hold up to 50 items there so at least you have easy access. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corpsestomp Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 That's what I normally do. Hold about 5-10 of each buff, stuff the rest in a locker for after death/emergencies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montahg Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 Why's a closed container matter versus an open one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigPapa Posted June 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 I believe it doesn't go bad as fast. Also, that esuna item that i know of hasnt been there in forever. Other than that, you have to buy plague cures, poison cures.. Am i wrong, there are things laying around to cure those mals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiegel06 Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 dont know any on the top of my head, and you are correct that if the container is open it goes bad faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calron Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 Most melees don't carry around cures for plague and poison. There aren't really reliable sources for either out there. Melees are a different mindset than healers/communers. Its not really about healing everything and then going on. Its more about killing your opponent before you are worn down by mals (or else running away and resting if you can't). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evangelion Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 That's not true. There is at least one good source of cure plague and one good source of cure poison out there for that is usable by anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deykari Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 Yeah, I seem to recall Kyatha (The fairly recent Ogre Warrior Nexus, or is that the WM? Memory has gone...it's the Nexus one I'm talking about) used to carry quite the supply of them, unless I'm getting something mixed up. Dey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goldbond Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 cloud city fruit don't cure for crap. they're like lvl 30 cures, try and cure your pinnacle disease with it, and at even 300gp-ish per, that's expensive for something that doesn't work. not that i'm saying that there should even be something easily accessible for poison/plague with the same effectiveness as even a gyvel for blindness. there really shouldn't be any offered, other than the temple healers which are almost a guaranteed heal. if you can reach them.

Someone in WM carrying consumbales ...hmm...I wonder where they go those....:confused: L-A It wasn't a WM consumable, and the particular one I'm talking about was just Nexus. I'm trying for the life of me to remember if it removes curse, or removes plague when you eat it. Almost 95% sure it's the latter. They're in a place that should be fairly easy for a melee to solo. I can't remember the full name, but it's some sort of heart in the Faction of Steel. Think it's level 40 cure X. That is, provided I'm not getting mixed up with something else...
