Question - Leveling 85+

[FB]

Hi All,
I've been doing Gribble's HAs from 82-85 to get the gear for my 6-box up to par again. Now I am wondering what would be a good path to get to max level? I play on live server, with WAR/CLR/BRD/ROG/MAG/WIZ.
Kind of tired of Gribbles, but it gives guaranteed armor upgrades, and the Abstruse from House of Thule seems rather expensive in comparison.

The best bang for your buck at those levels for gear is to do TBM missions that unlock the merchants for that expansion and buy/beg enough tranquil remnants to gear everybody up (with six people its a LOT) But it's best in slot (For the most part) all the way to 105 when you can slip into the Glowing stuff.

I never did TBM for the gear because I found it confusing and have to change out stuff every 5 levels was a pain. Just didn't like it but it is suggested by many players as the best way to go. I sell a ton of the remnants in the baz so I know it is a popular path.


Keep in mind that most loot is extremely temporary at level 65-100. And you will be asking this every few levels up to 100.

While you don't want to be running around in a 125AC 450 H/E/M BP you doin't want to spend 250Kpp on gear, no matter how good it is, that you can throw away in a month since you've outgrown it.

It's ok to be a Raggedy Man. As long as your gear gets you though one major tier of gear (85) to the next one (90/92 or 95) that's all you need from it.

But where you are, with all those marks of valor, you can continue to buy gear as you level up and some of it is nice. There are also some good non visables

Coleoptera Mechanical Beetle Eye: 30 AC


Essence of Sorrow: 15AC 5 to all Stats and Resists (this isn't that good of an aug but will fill a space


Geartop Gear: 35 AC 50 HP (One of the better tank ones)


Polished Caracite: 25 AC 40 HP


Tainted Brownie Heart: 15 AC 80 HP

Still a little ahead of where you are but At level 92 I went fear touched/boreal cause you can reuse the container. And the drops are all over the place and cheap in the baz.

And if your interested in some other ideas:

In Feerrott, the Dream there is a merchant called Rotharran Radhelm, who is on find (Ctrl-f). If you collect 300 dream motes (from the Bazaar or by completing quests in House of Thiule zones), you can purchase from the tier 1 set of jewellery and non-visibles (“of Fearful Reverie”), which cost 30 motes each, and only require apprehensive faction (the default). There are two extra items in this set for the charm (which powers up during daylight hours) and range slots. Remember that if you are a pet class (magician, necromncer or beastlord), you will want to reserve one ear slot for a pet focus. These are somewhat less good than the dropped tier 1 items, so should probably best be called “tier 0”, and if Dream Motes are hard to find, just skip this set entirely.

• Band of Fearful Reverie (focus spell range)
• Belt of Fearful Reverie (+43% haste)
• Cloak of Fearful Reverie (focus beneficial duration)
• Earring of Fearful Reverie (focus detrimental duration)
• Hoop of Fearful Reverie (“)
• Mask of Fearful Reverie (focus detrimental range)
• Necklace of Fearful Reverie (focus increased healing)
• Ring of Fearful Reverie (focus beneficial mana preservation)
• Shoulder of Fearful Reverie (focus detrimental mana preservation)
• Trinket of Fearful Reverie
• White Rose of Fearful Reverie (focus increased corruption damage)

oh, were you asking a path to level up, or armor upgrades path?.

 

[FB]

Both really, as I don't want to end up 120 with total crap gear... But if you can recommend any zones where I can go 85 to 120 as a 6-box that would also be much appreciated.

At 85 you can supplement your leveling with Overseer. Make sure you select the character experience reward towards the bottom. 2-3% sometimes.


I like the daily hot zones - good bonus for killing 5 mobs. And might discover new zones you have not tried. You continue to get a little extra exp even after task is done if you stay in the zone. See Franklin Teek to do those and get at least the 2 offered near your level. You get locked out till the next day and can't ask for another one if you only get one. Those go up to level 95.

Although you said you were doing Gribbles are you doing whatever is offered by Franklin's cousin Clayton? Those are also HA but the bonus exp at the end is at least double a regular version. He will port you to the zones. Some of them will require progression quests done first but those are usually easy. Others may be too hard for your level just yet.

And good old Shards Landing. Great for 90 and up, more like 95 but a good zone.

Am sure others will post in with some more suggestions.
