Iksar Shaman - Solo Challenges?

[bcbrown]

You've shown that the expected time is almost identical. Root rotting will have more unlucky random bad luck. JBB will be significantly more expensive - plus the proc weapon and the dex gear.

Personally, if I could afford a JBB, I'd buy it, level myself up to the low 50s, then sell it when I could afford a fungi. If anyone wants to loan me a JBB for a month, I'd be happy to report back on my in-game conclusions.

If I had unlimited plat, yeah, I'd try both out and see what fits my playstyle. I've spoken before of my dislike of root rotting.

With the bad luck the JBB ends up being faster. Saving mana and hp per hour over non JBB is going to be better. Remeber we are comparing a non-regen race to a regen-race too. Troll would be faster, not identical. Same with Barbarian, due to the xp bonus.

Lucky for you Shamans are great at farming plat. Making 60k by the time you get to your 50s is not difficult. Buy JBB, farm faster with it, buy fungi, use both to 60. Sell them both to get Torpor.

I think my shaman is 47-49, with about 4k in the bank, still wearing mostly Totemic. Perhaps you're right, but for a new player who doesn't know where the good cash camps are while leveling, I can report from personal experience that 60k by 50 is not realistic.

Regardless, I'm playing Green these days. Made a ton more plat on my druid than I did on Blue, because I learned about Hill Giants and Crystal Caverns geonids. Still only got about 6k in bank at 49, still rocking the raw-hide cloak.

Glad to hear it! The trick is to kill guards. Very consistent plat and XP all the way to 55. Can always go back to guards that green out too if you need some extra. HGs are nice, but I think they nerfed them a few years back. Less spawns.

Guard killing while generating good platz is lame as fuck and my druid only did gnome and human freport guards a few times. But that is just me. Its not how id like to play. But you do you.
I mean a necro killing felwith guards is maybe within the scope hunting.
Bcbrowns experience is similar to mine. 10's of thousands of platz dont come with my (our?) gameplay styles. Time vs adventure vs roleplay etc.
I dont expect a maximum min/maxer to understand such inefficiencies.
Cheese is the term that comes to mind when i see you "adventuring" to your next cash camp.

I am not forcing you to play a certain way. You do you! I am just giving people the facts of the game. They can decide what to do with them.

I know! You have said this elevety seven times in numerous threads.
Thank you for repeatedly pointing this factual fact out.
Also for saving the trolls from themselves. By pointing out how wrong they are, thereby saving us noobs from le bad information.

One of these camps has to stop. Clearly the trolls wont stop. They (we?) are too childish to do it. So it remains that the adults in the room adult up and leave it alone after "winning".
Stopping your posts after you win does not make the trolls right or you wrong, but it does make you look all growed up.
Think of it like this.
NewbieA: Wow that DSM fella really knows his stuff AND knows also when to stop feeding the trolls.
NewbieB: Yes oh my, is it a little hot in here? What a guy.

Food for thought. Not food for trolls.

Lame on, lamo!

The trolls can stop whenever they want. You are choosing to troll.

Providing bad information and bloating threads with nonsense is helping nobody.

Why do you do it?

[Duik]

Feeding it is.

The more troll posts you make, the easier it is for people to see who the trolls are. You aren't hurting me, or helping yourself. You are discrediting yourself further.

You are hurting the community and other people who are trying to find information on the game. Please stop.
