I just returned to the game after being away for a long long time. I bought the newest expansion for the game and I am getting wrecked there ha. Where is a good place for me to farm for some gear to replace my outdated gear. Any help would be great. Thanks!
Welcome back! What shard are you playing?
Thank you! Chesapeake. It’s where we played back in the day. I understand it’s not as populated as before. I’m having a blast but I’m just a little under geared now
Find a group. Do the community hunts on that shard. Can probably loot corpses in the Dojo right now.
Yeah having a tough time finding folks so far. Didn’t know if there was a place I can farm solo that’s decent or not. I do need to look harder for a group.
Welcome back to the game! There are a ton of people on Chesapeake who'd be glad to help you out. Shoot me a message here or on Discord Matte#9416.
If your suit is that outdated, your temp probably is as well. Be more specific about your template and skill levels and we can possibly help you fine tune your playing experience.
Well my main was a abc archer back then. I’ve kinda been playing with switching him to a swords sampire build. I also have a mage and tamer that Needs attention also. I have done research on them all but you know there are a million different things on the internet about different builds on different servers. All my gear was from the early 2000s. I have upgraded some but just finding a fun solo build Is my goal atm. Having Also been looking for folks to do group things with but I haven’t had the best luck so far. Across my characters I have multiple skills that are 100 and over and I have soulstones I can move things around so I’m flexible on how I can work out a build. Thanks for your advise!
They increased the swing speed on composite bows. It's very expensive to reach max swing now making archers a second rate template in my opinion.
Others will make a case you don't need max swing but i'm extremely outspoken that the best bow in the game requires a lot of gold to utilize to it's full potential while any melee weapon can be reach that same speed without spending much gold at all.
That being said, any melee samp is better. You can reach full swing speed with an imbued suit that most crafters will make for free. A hatchet samp is very inexpensive to make at max swing speed and can farm high level mobs to low level bosses easily.
I'm also outspoken on my feelings about tamers. I highly prefer a discord tamer to a straight mage tamer. Your suit can be very low quality and still perform well because your pet is doing all the work. Spell damage increase items can reach extreme prices. An instrument will cost you the gold you find in one corpse.
So u think keep heading the sampire route or consider working my taming.. The tamer does appeal to me. I’m probably least comfortable with that build especially on the knowledge of which critters to tame. So what is your taming build you recommend as far as the full skills? And what’s is a good pet to tame for me to start doing low end farming? Thank you!
Nobody can tell you what to play. It's all on what you like. I highly dislike watching new or returning players come back to a template with a major handicap like requiring hundreds of millions of gold to achieve max swing with the most effective bow. It takes 211 stamina with 60 swing speed increase to reach max swing with a composite bow. It's impossible to reach that goal in a reasonable time frame with a returning player.
I don't play a samp much so there are more qualified players that can tune your samp build.
Tamers i can do.
My exact discord tamer template:
110 mage
120 tame
120 lore
100 vet
120 music
120 discord
30 med
Cu Sidhe is an overall good go to pet. Keep in mind there are a few things pets can't fight and some things it takes far longer to kill. For the most part they're fantastic though. Most pets can be trained to 5 slots. Powerscrolls can be added to pets. Stats increased. Magics can be added. There's a ton to learn and read up on.
You REALLY need to find a group to mentor you. It's disheartening to see players get frustrated and leave because they feel unsuccessful. Finding what you like with the mentoring to tweak that template and you'll have endless fun.
Thank you for your help. Yes a group is what I’m needing to find. I have tried to come back a few times in the past but exactly like you said I got frustrated because so much has changed and I didn’t know where to start! This isn’t going to happen this time. I’m having more fun than I’ve had in years in a game. But your right. I need to find some folks. Thank you again. I am really interested in the tamer so I have a lot of reading to do on that.
Have been messing with my tamer and all my pets are from back in the day and when I start the new training I gain so so little I played last night killing dragons and I only gained 2% of my experience bar on my pet. Is that just the normal rate or do I need to retrain some new pets? I’m still learning this system. It’s all different now. Ha. Thanks again
All my pets are old. Dragon cu rune beetle nightmare..... so they can be valuable huh? they all seem kinda weak to me. Ha. I will go get a new cu and see how that goes. Thank you
Nightmares have some value. White wyrms more. Bane dragons very high. Dread mare very high.
Build a cu or lesser guru to begin. Chesapeake may have some tamers that will help you.
