my first toon was a druid that is level 60! my leveling journey is more a lack of motivation and less a lack of skill.

This game doesn’t require that much skill. Don’t worry about it, enjoy the journey.

You had 100k for a monk twink and 3 years later youre hitting 56? Lol How did you even acquire a 100k in the first place?

yeah, and he outbid me on my level 60 raid-active monk for some ikky pants like 2 years ago at level 55. thats the danger of a druid main - you gear up quickly and have a bunch of DKP to twink a monk alt you never play [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

yeah but the flayed barb legs cost 5x the DKP of the ikky legs, and are always won by someone who has a main who isnt a monk but saves their DKP to twink their monk alt they will never play

People level for different reasons.
On p99 the most effective method is compulsion.

and then several months later he succesfully sneak / flopped from VP entrance to Nexona lair and (almost) completely redeemed himself

Oh yeah I got that one down now. One day I'll pull her with a Javelin and show the world.

Imo gear belongs on alts.

“VeLioUs wAs BeAtEn iN kuNarK geAr!”

So it doesn’t help a toon which has already completed everything it is going to do, but it does help a toon which still has a variety of adventures ahead.

I agree with this. I've had the most fun on my twink Necro with his SS gear by level 30 - or my twink shaman with his SS gear at level 30 - but I got those to 60 in pretty quick order. Twinking with no drops for me means that I am committed to levelling the toon to 60.

BUUUUTTT there are cases where the twink gear sits on a toon that is never played, by someone with a large DKP bankroll, who shows up once every draft to break off a chunk of their DKP bank. And it's always a monk twink, and the monk twink is never useful on raids. There is 0 return in investment to the guild to get gear for the player who doesn't contribute to raids, except for being present.

Not talking about OP - but others I have seen.

but there does come a point with a monk, while levelling, where its diminishing returns on upgrades. you can only have so much haste, so much attack per level. monk damage mitigation is OP AF, especially on mobs like LDC in Sol B. i was in black pantherskin wrecking those at level 55.

If you want to push your limits in a solo artist way it is useful. Also makes farming easier.

From a guild standpoint, having all your gear go to non-raider toons is not super useful unless all your raiders are already decked out or the encounters are trivial.
