Hello world! need some help plz

M

Mental

Neophyte
Been reading the years of patch notes, and all the updates over those years, and I'm thinking of returning to play again. There has been some amazing work done. And the patch notes and the communication from the devs are top notch. Coming from some other MMOs I've played the last few years, I wish the devs these days took a page from this team. This is how devs used to communicate with players. Nice work.

Anyways, before I do return and start setting everything back up, years later, a few questions so I know what to read up on more before I return.

I have multiple toons on the 3 accounts but my main was a summoner in Eldritch aspect. I want to build a tamer, but I'll need to use this summoner to get back on my feet and get some cash first. I don't remember what I have for money, not much probably, as I was spending it all upgrading my aspects.

First of all, I don't even remember the Focus skill. This is was nowhere in my builds, but it looks like a very nice passive skill. That said, this is what I'm thinking my non-Inscription eldritch summoner will be when I come back:

120 SS
100 Magery
100 Eval Int
100 Medit
100 Focus
100 Taste ID

Here is my question, for the seventh skill, which I think is Tracking now... how would Poisoning work here? I don't intend to cast Lethal poison, but Deadly poison casts, with Taste ID already in there, and making use of the Poisoning Kit might be ok additional dps, instead of always casting Flamestrikes.

Would this work, or is it better to leave Tracking in for a flat 25% boost, plus the heads up on reds? Get Taste ID to 120 and lower Tracking to 80? Or leave TasteID at 100 and do Poisoning to a 100?

Also, how expensive is it to get poisoning to a 100, considering I don't have an alchemist alt? I did mention I want to build a tamer; if poisoning is a huge money drain, I'd probably be better off with Tracking, and saving the money for the tamer, right? Or would poisoning be so worth it, the cost would be offset by faster farming and more money for the tamer?

Thanks for your help. See you in the game soon!


Edit to add: Also, Storage Shelves sound amazing, never had one of those. Any point to having two of these in a rental room, or is it a one and done type of an item? Seems a pretty high limit on items inside it. How much are these going for? Where can I find one easily when I get back in?

Nevermind on these questions.

Delete the whole post if possible. I'm back in the game, and my skills look all different than I remember. I already have both SS and Inscription at 120 and tracking at 80. I won't be dropping Inscription for something else.

Oh well.

If you plan to get serious with anything, make sure to put all serious PvM or PvP characters on one account as your mastery chain XP is shared across all characters at the account level only.

If you want to delve deep into PvM, in the end it will be much, much cheaper to do this on ONE character once you have unlocked a couple aspects and started leveling them. If you don't like summoner and want to play tamer, just use the same character and drop your skills. I'd much rather level a few skills to 120 (including taming) rather than unlock and level an aspect from 0 again.

Thanks for the reply.

I'll have to plan ahead for that, but I discovered I already had that Summoner with Eldritch on it and chain links unlocked and two skills at 120.

Then I found I already have a 7xgm tamer on another account. And it looks like I put all my crafters on the third account. So, I'll have to adjust and see what I want to leave in play.

So, I do actually have a question about this.

The Mastery Chain xp is shared across all 3 accounts right? One account, but 3 sub accounts, right?

Because I just switched from my summoner to my tamer, that are on different accounts, and they have the exact same mastery chain xp. So, they just have to have their own chain, but the xp aggregates into one pool for all accounts allowed?

No, think about it like this: 1 Outlands ID = 3 Accounts. Chain XP is shared at the account level only. If you've only unlocked one or two link slots it won't really matter which account you choose to focus on. But, once those XP requirements start building up it will become prohibitive to try and level chains on multiple accounts. The redline system compounds this issue even further.

Hmm interesting, thanks.

I guess I don't understand why the xp showed identical between the accounts, if it's going to be different at higher levels. I do only have two links unlocked, but the xp was the same down to the single xp point. One Outlands ID, different accounts.

Am I to understand this will stop being the case, and after a certain level they will have separate xp? Per account? When does this happen?

Guess I'll have to buy some more chains and test with other characters I have.

Appreciate your help!

Did you try to kill a couple things on one account and see if you can notice that same increase on the other?
 
Nope. I did not. I just checked the xp from the chain when I double click it or type [MasteryChain. But I've been killing things exclusively with my summoner account, and then just checked the tamer account.

Good tip. I'll have to get those toons out of the rental room and see if that makes a difference.

Thanks again, LS.
 
While I have your attention... what has happened in the past that would have added a lot of Eldritch cores and distillations to my stored aspect materials?

What I mean is, I left for 4 years, and now when I came back, I have enough Eldritch cores and distillations stored that when I level my aspect, it uses the stored materials and tells me how many I have left. I've been able to gain a few levels now with stored stuff. I have a basic rental room, no storage shelf for mats or anything. I don't know where these are coming from.

I tried to add more, but I see no mechanism to add existing cores or distillations into my aspect storage, or what ever.

Did I forget adding these at some point in the past, or were these granted over the years for patches and changes and what not?

Thanks!
 
The initial unlock for an aspect was significantly reduced and pushed until the later tiers. The first few tier levels now have very light core investments, but the later levels are much steeper.

So you paid something like 12 cores just to unlock your aspect and now the requirement is only like 3 (I don't know the exact numbers off the top of my head). You were given credit for the 12 you did pay and because of this your next 3-4 unlock will probably be free.
 
Very cool, thanks.

Yeah, I was able to get from 3 to 8 almost free. Just needed 1 distillation for 5 levels.

Cheers!
