Keep in mind that in groups in the 50s you will pretty much always have a Cleric since they are the only truly viable class to main heal from 50-60. As such, you will almost always have someone who can rez you if your melee dies. As such, I wouldn't say it matters much where your melee is bound for pure grouping EXP purposes.

There's of course the benefit of being able to be TLed to your bind at firepots and get more quickly to various cities that way, but I wouldn't say it's a huge benefit compared to the time it saves you vs. just getting a port and running.

Yeahhhhh. :/ Any wizard that can TL to bind (level 50) can TL you to any wizard portal (level 39 to 49).

I just realized one of the benefits of these self-melee-bind items. Perhaps its value is not about some particular special location where you get to bind your melee, but the fact that you can bind yourself, and re-bind yourself, on a melee class, anywhere you want. Assuming you have a Ring of the Dead (rechargeable for 10p) or access to two Lockets of Escape. You could bind your Dark Elf SK outside of any dungeon, or heck, inside most of them (?).

I'm saying forget melee Firepots bind - bind yourself wherever you want, anytime, changing it depending on your current haunts and goals.

Even cooler than getting Translocated to the Firepots and then clicking on a firepot - is getting Translocated to your bind point in Droga, or Howling Stones, or outside Veeshan's Peak, or outside Temple of Veeshan, or in Plane of Mischief, or in Skyshrine by a click-out...

Also, what's the recharge cost on Lockets?

Real quick, how are people planning to bind their melee at the firepots? Are you guys going to farm a Locket of Escape in the first few days of the server, or pay someone for a Locket click? I thought the Locket would be removed in a matter of days. Not so?

And then are you going to buy Gate potions during 8 months of Kunark before Translocate is added in Velious?
