Firepot bound chars in velious??

[pallius]

Firepot is still a great bind. I kept it through luclin on live.

Just click to gfay and run to wiz spire for port.

I suppose i should start another thread about this, but are there many places melee can bind in velious? Particularly, places close to Plane of Growth?

skyshrine , kael, and thurgadin. Or use a locket of escape and you can bind in non dungeon zones.

Sky shrine and Kael are both attached to wakening lands which has the plane of growth zone door.

Argh I didn't even know that item existed! Why did they stop it dropping (although, it was always a dangerous item to design IMO)?

most people are still gonna travel around Velious via druid or wizard, even if they're bound in Velious. druids and wizards can still pick you up from old world port locations. and there's enough clerics around that you usually don't need to worry about being bound close for a CR. IMO it makes more sense to keep your bind at firepots.

also, Thurgadin Gate potions.

I'm one of the only melee bound at firepots. Leveling up when Kunark was new it was useful for some CRs, though now I only use to go shopping (die, buy peridots/pearls, take rez) or run back to PoFear after eating a DT to avoid rez effects. I honestly don't know if my firepot bind is worth anything extra on the open market, as there are so few. If money is no object and you can buy gate potions whenever you want then it's a pretty awesome bind point. At the very least it makes me pretty unique; only 2 non-TMO melees got lockets before TD binding was removed, and the other was a Paladin I haven't seen for over 2 years.

I figure that for the early-ish Velious firepot bind is pretty cool, because TLs come into play, letting me "gate" and I can always click a pot to go stick a Thurg gate potion into a kiln and get to Thurgadin. I imagine I'll bind in PoM later, as many raiders will.

There are non-locket ways for melee to bind in PoM if you can find a friend with very good timing. Skyshrine and Kael are very good bind points though. I think you can bind anywhere in Kael at first. It eventually gets nerfed to bank only which means you probably only want to bind there if you aren't KOS.

elaborate?

This worked on live. I haven't tested it here yet, but it's how we bound melee in PoM on Innoruuk since Lockets were basically non-existent.

Basically, you need to die in a place and get rezzed. You need to have bind affinity timed so that when you accept rez, bind is about to hit. Soulbinders made it a ton easier to do, but it's still doable without them - just difficult. As an enchanter, I do this with clarity on rezzes and still only manage to get it about half the time.
