How's the Levelling scene?

[Demiterracotta]

Found some actual time since the weather has been crappy.

Many low/mid's running around or is it a full pinnacle squad?

[Mali]

Bit of both right now. Seems easier than normal to rank. 700 - 1200 exp per kill, combined with halved training times, you should be up and running in no time. Highly active and skilled pbase. A bit of red and blue.

You kind of just made me sad.

Could we have an un-skilled pbase for awhile?

[mmajunkie]

dont try rolling a lvl1 communer/mage by urself right now, thats for sure

[mya]

actually with 800xp a kill you can hunt pretty acceptably with a mage, if you can blind or cause heavy damage,

Just grab one of the new AC eq and you don't even need a stone golen tanking. But both him and a good pet can double your damage output.

Once you get 1000 xp/quest ~L30, you can just do quests.

[mmajunkie]

What mage can blind from level 1-20?

[Pali]

Necros get blind at 10.

[mmajunkie]

So...no mage can blind from 1-20. :-)

[Twinblades713]

hrp drp.

[Mindflayer]

So...no mage can blind from 1-20. :-)

An adventurer who joins any mage guild with a dirt kicking charmie from their adventurer days that's who.

[mmajunkie]

So...no mage can blind from 1-20. Only their charmie?

[f0xx]

Blinding is not as important as you make it out.

Of course, it's nice to be able to blind.

Try ranking a blademaster, they can't even have stone golems.

[mmajunkie]

Yes, it is as important as I make it out. Try to melee some snails with a cleric at lvl7, or brownies at 10, or dryads at 13. Or I'll be more than happy to post logs for you.

Blademasters have a far easier time vs unblinded mobs.

[mya]

You don't meele snails with a L7 mage.

You grind from 7 to 8 by killing rats. (6->7 is guild quests) (1-6 arena) then you buy a alsatian and tank while your pet kills. At 10 you get a stone golen, and refresh it at 15.

Necros can hunt to pinacle alone. I did a crap load of invocker solo. You would be amazed what you can tank if you take your time to get a AC suit.

Imm have even aided us by having a L1 average 15 AC chest armor item sold in rheydin.

Also I think you are hunting to high mobs. The idea is fast easy kill.

Blits the area killing 200xp mobs in 3 min, rest until repop and blitz again. It's faster than taking 5 min to kill a dryad cause you don't have blind.

[mmajunkie]

Too much time to grind for a newbie, I'd be gone in a heartbeat having to go through all that work. Or just roll a melee that can solo snails at lvl6 for 800xp

[mya]

Newbies take half hour from Rheydin to Valmiran. Let alone trying to rank alone. Mage or Meeler.

My first character dint even pass 30.

And I would not mind you all only playing meeles. *cackle*

Running aroung in hit/dam suits with no saves

[P_body]

What's all this talk about it being easier to train and gaining more exp on avg? Were there some major changes done or something?

[Demiterracotta]

Training time has been cut in half basically. They've put in quite a few mobs that make training what used to be a pain to train skills easier.

Not sure ranking got buffed, but I haven't really noticed.

[mya]

Xp from kills got buffed.

Especially if we sub 10 on who list.

And you can take the exp perk.

[f0xx]

My stone golem and alsatian laugh at those.

And if you hunt snails at level 7, then you should look for mistakes in your own methods.

Oh, and saying blademasters have a fairly easier time against unblinded mobs at such low levels is just not serious.

In what multiplayer RPG is a mage ever as easy to solo level as a warrior, particularly at the low ranks? I'd think people would expect them to be weaker earlier on - it's kind of the standard for the genre.

Agreed. Mages at least get pretty guaranteed regular damage from spells... blms at low levels are such pansies.

[The-Nameless]

blms should suck until level 49.

[f0xx]

Someone has had his bum wooped by BLMs it seems

[mya]

BLM can use vuln weapons.

Holy for tombs.

Ice for centaurs+Kaddar

Ice/Fire for Demons in pentagram.

Which reminds me, we should rebuild the battlemasters blade area. No one hunts there anymore.

But one never knows. I was hunting in the elven valley the other day very well.

I found leveling mages in WoW VERY easy. The power difference between melee/mage was minimal and hardly noticeable.

FL is not like other MMORPG games, it is a dying breed.... FL is fighting for survival...being a pain the *** for people to rank and play is not going to help.
