I'm halfway through L42 and I have not done a non-story or non-class quest since L16.

Fecking casuals - ruining the game. Thank God SE is waiting until the "free" game time expires on the 6th and only the hard core re-up before they give us the real game.

Yup, that's why I'm not leveling another DoW/M class until they fix those certain level ranges. The last week I've basically done nothing but Botany... almost 45, and getting ******** of Mirror Apples for my CUL :D.

I don't remember having a lot of grinding in there, either. I know I did spend a bunch of time doing hunting logs, particularly the GC logs. I did some FATEs for seals to rank up in the GC, but overall I don't recall there being an undue amount of grind in those levels. There aren't really enough quests to carry a second or third combat class up, but I thought there was a sufficient amount for one.

You asked why we were assuming he didn't get another mod involved from the outset, implying you thought he did get another mod involved from the outset. There's no other way of interpreting your statement. But, he did not get another mod involved from the outset.

If you had read the thread you would have seen that no one is "assuming he didn't get another mod involved from the outset," you would know that he said that he deleted posts and then thought perhaps he should get another mod involved.

So, I said he deleted some posts first, then got another mod involved.

And I'm supposed to believe you're not trolling?


Yeah, I was actually agreeing with you, it was all fate grinding, story quests, class quests, and the dungeons the story quests send you to.

The point is, and I think everyone is making the same point but in a different way, that there are really only enough quests to take one character through to level cap without fate grinding, dungeon grinding, or just old-fashioned MoB grinding. And I'm not even sure about the 46-50 range you've mentioned because I haven't gotten there yet.

EDIT: To further develop my point, that means that any subsequent classes you want to take to 50 are going to require a grind. Or, as in my case, grind the first character and save the quests for another class. I suppose the increased exp you get from having a class at 50 is supposed to lessen any subsequent grind, but it's still a grind.

Last night someone announced in the reddit LS that he was now a WHM. I checked him out, he has a 50 THM, a 50 ARC, and a 30 WHM. I didn't look closely to see what else, as that was impressive enough to me. That's a lot of grinding no matter how you slice it.

Also discovery seems to be a percent of your TNL, so if you explore a lot at higher levels you get more EXP. Wander the world at a low level exploring and you lose out.

That's a massive pain in the ***, considering the story quest and hunting log do everything in their power to get you exploring.

The board has like 8 mods, and he didn't alert anyone else about it until after he took action.

At the very worst, he should have notified the other mods beforehand. A quick "Hey, there's this post, I'm going to nuke it because duh, but I want someone else to take this over as soon as they can."

Did you know that the Master of Anthony of Burgundy was a Flemish miniature painter active in Bruges between about 1460 and 1490, apparently running a large workshop, and producing some of the most sophisticated work of the final flowering of Flemish illumination? He was first identified by Winkler in 1921; his name is derived from one of his most elevated patrons, Anthony of Burgundy, Philip the Good's illegitimate son, though he also worked for the Dukes and other bibliophiles in Burgundian court circles, who had already been allocated "Masters" by art historians. His contributions to the heavily illustrated Froissart of Louis of Gruuthuse (BnF Fr 2643-6) from the early 1470s, on which several of the leading illuminators of the day worked, show him excelling some more famous names, like Loiset Lyédet.

The more you know!

Wow. Congrats.

Now go make me a sammich.

Mithkabobs or GTFO.

Woot!

Everything being way too easy to level combined with the lack of end game content might end up killing this game rather early. Coil is great and hard and all, but I'm quickly running out of interesting things to do. I really don't understand why they made crafting/gathering classes so easy to cap as well. With how we still don't have a date for 2.1, I'm starting to get rather worried for the game.
