Thanks for the quick reply.

I forgot to add.. for the sigil.. does it work the same as other weapons? (you can buy new sigils and add them in without any negative effects).

Legendary Weapon - 2 Questions

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: stevelim.1649

stevelim.1649

Apologies if this is obvious.

1. When you get a Legendary. It asks you to pick a stat combo after which it is soulbound. According to the wiki, you CAN still change the combo so long as you are out of combat. Is this really the case? I don’t want to be stuck to a certain build type (eg. Zerker) once I’ve made my decision. I kinda thought that was one of the nice things about Legendary weapons … ie. Its flexible and its stats could be changed when you wanted to try another build.

2. I read somewhere that Twilight and Sunrise DO NOT count towards the legendary achievement. Please tell me this is not the case.. I would feel strongly that that is unacceptable since all the literature that is available treats both these greatswords as legendaries (just like Bifrost / Kudzu etc.).

Dungeon DR Question

. …When you log out or switch characters, you are still in the same party…

…When Joe loads up into Fireheart Rise, a message will prompt on your screen asking if you want to join the dungeon. …

Thanks for taking time to explain. This is very clear now. I’m going to try this!

Hold control highlights all enemies and yellows (including collectables) in the direction you are looking.

You can enable this all the time in the options menu. It’s great for seeing the text names of characters who are trying to hide behind obstructions in PVP

I think this does not work for collectables for a heart / event. I still find I need to hold down the left CTRL key. Only character names etc. work.

Can anyone confirm this?

Dungeon DR Question

Okay, so what I do is I do it one more time, but right as we reach the Effigy (final boss), I swap to Joe.

Joe hasn’t done the dungeon yet today, so when the dungeon is completed (as long as I’m inside the dungeon when it completes), I get the reward.

Thanks. I understand all this.

What I don’t understand is more the party mechanics in the dungeon. How does Joe even get to the boss stage? Does he have to be in the same map beforehand? Does he need to be reinvited by the rest of the party?

How does he suddenly appear in the dungeon instead of the map he was in? =)

The daily 60 tokens is per character. Therefore, you can do runs with multiple characters getting 60/20 + 60/20 for each unique character after that (can even be swapped at the end so you can do it on low levels).

“can even be swapped at the end so you can do it on low levels”.

Can you explain this please? I was doing COF the other night and someone switched characters midway during the final boss fight. Is this what you mean? How is this done?

This question seems to be asked alot lately. I’ll make a guide on how not only me but most d/d sb thieves build to literally survive anything. While putting out huge damage of course.

Please do. I recently rolled a theif and I’m also trying to learn about different builds and playstyles. Current I like D/P but I am open to anything. =)

…. Also, a small tip that you should know is that if you want to buy them with gold, don’t buy now. Wait until one or two weeks after the April update.

May I ask why?
What has been announced for the April update?

Thanks.

Mystic Forge for precursor

I just dont get, where do you guys get so much money. I do dungeons, I do bosses and I started saving for legendary in December. I still need half of T6 mats, 250 globs of ectos and precursor. How do you get 600g to buy the precursor?

This is what I would like to know as well.

I play every day and after 1 week, I’m lucky if I have say 10g. I ‘invest’ my money in TP trading for a small profit. Other than that just PvE looting of regular events etc.

Hi guys. I am trying to sell some items that I’ve crafted and I cannot do so. Regardless if I click ‘meet highest buyer’ or ‘lowest seller’.

The listing fee turns red and I am unable to sell.

What is the reason for this?

Throwing greens into forge for rares?

in Crafting

Posted by: stevelim.1649

stevelim.1649

I’ve found, with the rising value of rares, that the 20% chance at a yellow has made me much more money off of my greens than vendoring them.

Double recommend if you’re going for ectos.

Remember, it’s still the mystic forge and random is still random, but honestly, with all of the blues i vendor I feel like I can gamble 4s (vendored) worth of greens on a potential 30+s payout and generally come out ahead of what I was making when I vendored greens.

Sorry if this might be slightly off topic..

I’m new to the MF. I just tried throwing in 4 normal dyes into the MF and got back 1 standard dye. I tried again and no luck. I was under the impression that I would get a rare dye.

So after 2 failed attempts, I lost 6 dyes to the MF. Not sure if it make economic sense.. I could well have lost 1 gold in the process. Have I misunderstood?

Of course its all about luck but at least I believe that’s how the mechanics of it was supposed to work.

Right, finishing off by going to Lion’s is free then I just go back to Whispers (free with a quick walk) and am back in Cursed Shore (free again as a whispers agent).

Sorry, can you explain this quick shortcut to Cursed Shore and Lion’s Arch?
Thanks.

Look at the racials. Human racials sorta suck, Asura racials suck less.

What are you smoking? because i want that too.
Only remotely useful racial asura have is radiation field, and glyph of storms is a lot better than that.

I really really wish my asura could have the human elite reaper of grenth instead of the useless ele and asura elites.

But skills aside, asura is superior choice, because they are awesome and most importantly their dodges are awesome.

Hi Strang, what do you mean by their “dodges are awesome”?

Asura elementalist all the way. Male human elementalists can never get their armor looking good, and you feel so fast and maneuverable as an asura. Plus, our racial armor combined with other armor looks awesome:

Odeken, I only recognize the Tier 3 headgear. Any idea what the rest is? Looks awesome!
