Can we have a night where we are all on together

[[AK]Nuts]

So lessons learned from last night. As a 40, I can help 20's complete quests and get quest XP but if I apprentice them they will lose any xp gained from kills (as all the mobs will be grey and only giving 1xp). So if quest completion is the desire than this model works. If fast level is needed, then you'll need to be apprenticed up and then fight high level mobs (of course you won't have the combos/skills of the apprenticed level so you may be a handicap).

Don't forget that we are going to try some group work tonight. Let me know which path you want to choose... Leveling or Quests.

Thanks for the help getting those quests knocked out!! Some of them were red to me, giving big XP--that definitely pushed me over the top to pick up a second level.

I'm up for quests or XP. BTW, I was only getting 1 XP per kill even when we were only grouped (not apprenticed).

The other thing I learned is that casters have a HUGE PVP advantage over melee classes. They just have to stay in range and keep me targeted--I have to keep them in range, facing the right way, and try not to move too much or risk disrupting my combos.

You're right, I think RJ mentioned that XP for mobs is based on highest level in group.

Casters in PVP can do okay if they get the first shot. If I can knock them down or stun them then I can usually lay in enough damage to make them run. Rarely do I kill one as by the time they recover they don't want to risk sticking around. However, if they can stun/freeze me then they can sit at a distance and just wreck me. Sometimes I can use the 'charge' skill I have to move quickly at them from a distance but it needs to be a straight line shot.

Good point. My problem is that I seldom initiate the PVP action--there's very little to gain from it and I'm mostly concerned with getting XP and advancing the plot of my quests, so a charge isn't an option.

Are we doing another Thursday night sit in of AoC?


Just checking to see.

I'm game. I've been knocking off a lot of quest in Field of the Dead. Big XP.

I'm down with that. I've mostly been playing the priest for the last week or so--I think you can safely consider him my "main" and the warrior my "alt".
