Bump for new metrics.

Dragons essences are going for 500k now, and both Tacvi and Qvic have gone up dramatically.

Sorry if I missed a post that already has the updated information.

Hey guys,

I'm to the point where I can kill Warlord with little risk of death in about 8-10 minutes. I want to pop my T5 cherry. Can you please recommend a 6th class perhaps, or the general strategy you'd use?

Current:

War UC 4.0 full T4
Pal UC 4.0 full T3
Monk Sorc 30+ 4.0s NS5's
Rogue 4.0s NS3s useless charms
Mage 4.0

I think my tank+heal combo is good to go, but perhaps another paladin is needed?

DPS definitely needs upgrades, but I'm thinking it might be more efficient to farm higher strikes and charms than to create a new char. I've been mainly focusing on improving the rogue strikes. Is that what you'd do if you were me?

Thanks,

Mike

I've just been pullin to crossroads with war and UC toon waiting at crossroads. Using Coth a lot too. Seems to be almost as fast as farming 4 for points, but less boring because 6 is not a bland cave full of rocks to dodge. Also pulls in 4 have a tendency to lag me out.

Keep in mind, you probably got up to or near t2 in less than a week. What other game allows you to max level and then advance THREE tiers of gearing in such a small time frame?

Kinda off topic but I wanted to point out that it took me well over 120 hours of play time to get to t2 over the course of several months. It still takes a really long time to get there if you DIY. I feel like I had to work pretty hard to get through T2. Quite comparable to how hard as it was to get the top PVE gear after starting from scratch in WOW, honestly.

I feel ya, OP. My mage needs about 6 ores to finish T2, whereas all 4 of my other boxes have long since found all of their ores.

Nostalgic read at work man, thanks a lot. I really hope the guys spamming OOC with questions lately read this!

Niiice. I was wondering what that 'kill quest' was all about but I never looked into it. Thanks for the detailed guide!

I am also definitely curious about range slot. My t4 war still has a 245 hp bow from qvic.

Thank you! I just did this for the first time yesterday without this guide, I should have waited 

Not sure if my PMs are getting through. Got some message from you the other day saying you lost all PMs. If you haven't gotten a message from me, let's communicate via email please.

I'll take Ninjas. Sending you a PM.

4-6, but definitely as many as possible if I'm working on content that's at my limit.

Is 'Alecoholic' an offensive name?

These don't seem to be the same as you've suggested.  As Chunk pointed out - you can now camp out of an instance and it remains for all the members of the group. 

There is definitely a discrepancy among various players about their experience with this. Some people seem to always be able to get back into their instances, whereas others cannot. I personally am extremely lucky if my instance comes back after logging out, disbanding, or disconnecting.

I'm just curious why there is this discrepancy. Perhaps the game client matters? I'm using UF. I also always make the same character my group leader, and that character always creates the instance (on somebody random's waypoint, however).

What about QVIC? Same as TACVI?
