Over the last while a few things have been going on in the Guild of Origin and during the runs a number of comments have come out that I thought I’d share since I think they’re worthwhile.<\/p>\n
First … one of our members needed help replacing a jade strand. \u00a0Turns out he had been doing something in Shattered Refuge and a firebat aggressively attacked him and caused him to zap. \u00a0The hobgoblin miner thought he’d won the jackpot and started picking up equipment. \u00a0Our guildie killed the miner for such affrontery and promptly autosac’d him. \u00a0Autoloot doesn’t help you much when your hands are full. \u00a0Another reason to have autosac off when adventuring, it’s handy for favoring but it sure can go horribly wrong.<\/p>\n
Next, we’ve been talking a bit on guildchat about what can be killed and where people like or don’t like to adventure. \u00a0Some people have expressed they won’t adventure in no supplicate areas. \u00a0Some think that using double heals is a sloppy way to get a kill on a tough mob. \u00a0Some like green potions, some like ambrosia. \u00a0Yet others like apples.<\/p>\n
I’m going to say that the most challenging and rewarding parts of the game continue to be added with no supplicate flags. \u00a0You can argue that you’ll just buy the equipment by running lesser challenges or by amassing gold. \u00a0It’s possible. \u00a0Or you can get 20 glory and go adventure yourself. \u00a020 glory comes pretty easily and isn’t a great investment in effort… I doubt you could trade 2 hitpoints worth of glory for a Seth set for example, yet that 2 hp can give you a safety margin if you wanted to actually try to adventure for that Seth set.<\/p>\n
I generally dislike farming and apples have been farmed to the point that people felt it necessary to put anti farming programs. \u00a0Ambrosias won’t work for everyone, worshippers of Kardis don’t abound and farming triple heals takes a very long time. \u00a0I would like the idea of finding a recipe that you take to a mob which would allow you to buy them. \u00a0I rather imagine the program to be a fake brew … you buy them but then you have to wait for them, maybe even 100 at a time or whatever. \u00a0More interesting than straight farming. \u00a0Any which way, if you need to use doubles to make something happen, especially while learning, I say go for it, but tend to agree that they shouldn’t be needed to make a run work.<\/p>\n
Oh well, that’s the news at this hour! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
