Title - Legendary Hunter
You captured Komu Silverclaw, head of the Mosbears.
Gain Condition: Rampaging Mosbears (basfelt village quest)

it's the 2nd quest given after that was bugged till now.
Really hope the quest will work.. 19% speed unbuffed in total, not bad at all =)

EDIT: still bugged >:/

in some forums i saw that a magic boost of 1200 = 2x skill damage (200%)
1200 : 200% = 200 : 33.3% (200 are 8 manastone +25MB)

if a skill hits 1000dmg, with that enhance i can hit 1333.

Since staves have more native magic boost than maces, a comb staff has 8 manastone slots, and Magic boost increases with enchants, too, i think that a full enchanted MB staff is a must have.

If we stay twink at 35, at 34 i have Chastise I (one of my fav)

A DoT of 178+155+155+155+155+155 = 953 dmg + 33.3% = 1270 in 15sec

Or Smite IV + Thunderbolt III = 394+618 = 1012 + 33.3% = approx 1350
(do not count the other chain skill since is a random proc)

so.. roaming in pvp mace+shield full hp/block, see enemy:
(earth's wrath)+Chastise+root, if root lands, switch staff, magic boosted smite+thunderbolt(+ massive proc), hallowed strike/infernal blaze = stunned (add other party damage here if not soloing), switch to mace+shield, little healing for restore the additional mace hps, (stop DPS, healing party if not soloing, otherwise wait for CDs and repeat until someone dies).

or more DPS in instances since for bosses if i stay away from AOEs i have to don't care about my hp, so a full MagicBoosted staff (that gives to me more MP and not HPs) is a definitive must: can heal more or use the extra MP for DoT the bosses.

(will be difficult to have so many +25MB stones, tho)


Oh, just in advance.. i will never be a cleric that only stand still and spam heals =)

i readed a lot of forum flames wrote by ppl that says that cleric must only heal.. hell, no. It's not my playstyle.. i'll go hybrid build in my stigma tree and will play my cler like i did with my chanter.. have only to re-adapt to cleric mana usage, casting time and cooldowns.


edit: i just found these lurking some forums

[item]dolan's staff[/item]
[item]dolan's warhammer[/item]

ok for the staff but the warhammer will be more juicy than kromede's/white flame due to mboost/macc stats <3
Anyone knows where they drops? or (like i suspect) are random drops from any lvl35 mob?

[Absynth]

yes till i have 1 month to waste in researchs.. =)

i have messed the %s as usual but yes, boots raise only the base speed so:
base 6.0 + 12% = 6.7 (+ 1.0 mantra = 7.7)

we'll go 6.0 + 17% = 7.0 (+1 mantra = 8.0 if someone rolls chanter) ..that's what u said. ^^

i still never saw a group rifting with a chanter, and well i only saw 1 chanter elyos rifter in my existence on aion, going solo.

So yes, good way to go (and let's farm also that spot in abyss, i'm pretty sure many will go there too)

Ok tats good , u hav done yr research =)

Since we will be using ancestor boots we will have 7.0 movement speed. Deava users will have only 6.7 movement speed , so i guess tats an advantage also.
And btw celerity mantra gives 1.0 speed , not 10%. So if we had a chanter our group will have 8.0 movement speed , hehehe. Even a sin with deava and sprint buff on will have 7.9 speed. So we will have good advantage on movement speed.

[Absynth]

i plan to collect white flame weapons instead of kromede, since have the same base stats , the same + attack but:

[item]Kromede's warhammer[/item] +crit, +some HP
[item]White flame warhammer[/item] +acc, MORE HP


[item]Kromede's staff[/item] +crit, +some MP
[item]White flame staff[/item] +acc MORE MP

and since i tested it with chanter, + crit stuff a lot sucks, i think i'll leave krom weapons to chanters and i'll go for white flame. Don't think i'll go melee too often with cler, i did with chanter because every atk/chain atk apply a debuff on who i hit, so tanks/dps can kill him faster/take less damage (-atk speed debuffs).

Definitely prefer survivability this time.
Dunno if comb 2 white flames or with some other one with nicer bonuses.

Prolly i'll go comb staff for pve (more magic boost/acc for skills, more mp = less mana downtime, and 8 magic boost manastones for kill faster) and switch mace+shield for pvp/survivability (full HP manastones in mace/shield)
For default gear (chain), full HP stones. This time i want to go down hardly.

Undecided about equip, i'm thinking about a cloth+MB for pve too..
i saw also a pvp cler in cloth that hit as a charm but meh.. i'm not such pro. Cloth has nice bonuses and i can wear Sura's leggings and Web tunic skins too <3 ...(ehm, ok)


I checked out my pieces in abyss, less than 40k AP for a lvl25 blue setup is nice, we'll get HP and more bonuses enchanting it up. (I enchanted my 30 blues with lvl 52/54 stones with NO fails so i think for a lvl25 we can use 47+ stones without fear)
Plus, we'll have 6% pvp dmg reduction without boots, but i really prefer +17% speed too since i don't think we'll have a Chanter in party soon. And celerity mantra is "only" 10% so.. way to go =)

I think we can try to farm mobs in abyss at 25/26 till 30, maybe it's slower but we can level up AND start to farm some APs and stigma shards too. Just don't know if will be faster to grind abyss or normal mobs.

We can try to farm mobs at Wandering gazan's spawn point, so we can farm elyos rangers/sins that wants their +crit earrings too. There will be many and they cannot QQ and call their 55 friends to kick us out >:}

Ok this is what im aiming for my armors... ( 32,400 AP for 4 parts NO boots )
[item]Archon Recruit's Breastplate[/item]
[item]Archon Recruit's Gauntlets[/item]
[item]Archon Recruit's Plate Greaves[/item]
[item]Archon Recruit's Plate Pauldrons[/item]
[item]Ancestor Plate Boots[/item]         ( use this because archon boots have no movement speed )

Archon Recruit's is blue abyss set lvl 25 , it has the same def as deava but no bonuses. But it has 5 manastone slots and pvp defense which can be better then daeva. Also its a fun way to get armor by rifting , not like boring 5 lvl 30 chars. And i will only buy 4 parts , will NOT buy the archon boots since it has no movement speed. Will hunt for Ancestor Plate Boots instead. If we are active enough we can get these armors by 1 week.

We will stay as lvl 31 for the 1st rifting.
And go to lvl 35 later for Kromede's weapons and Accessories.

[Absynth]

ok, u know the items better than me, can you try to use the aionarmory plugin?

its simple, just write the EXACT item name (te same as ingame) between (item) and (/item) tags,

if u want to link aether, then (item)aether(/item)
[item]aether[/item]

just use [] instead of ()

[Zrio]

My idea is race to lvl 31( yes lvl 31 for more skills ) and use ward token eqs ( 14 days gold ) and we start rifting at eltnen in a group. We get ap and buy lvl 25 archon abyss armors ( dont buy boots no speed ). As for boots we get ancestor boots ( for move speed ). And then get to lvl 35 for Kromede's weapon and accessories.

[Absynth]

Wipe is done, our new brand char is ascended and is at lvl 25.

What we'll do?

Going rifting for 40kAP and pick elite abyss lvl25 set and stay 25?
Then start stockpiling APs for next AP gear (35?)

Or do quests/instances till lvl40, make kromede's trial until the whole pieces are dropped, fire temple until we have enough enchant stones, +10 the corrupted judge's equip then start rift at 40?

Other ideas?

Thread for discuss things like these, mainly for find a common playstyle in a way that we can advance lvl almost always together, and not like "o noes i haven't played for a month i'm 25 and you're 38 i cannot party with you anymore"
