Question - Tips for evolving ToV earring?

[Sphaera]

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone has any good spots, or tips/tricks for fast evolving of the ToV tradeskill quest earring?

Thus far I've been killing in EW or GD in a regular lessons burn setting, and I guess I get about 10 % in half an hour of killing. My pace is probably a bit slow. Having to evolve it x ammounts of time is going to end up quite the time investment!

It also seems like you need to kill in ToV zones for it to evolve? I've been PLing some alt in GMM, and it seems earring will have none of it.


Any help/tips be appreciated!

Best regards,

Sphaera

IOT evolve the ToV earring, you must kill within ToV.

The percentage gained is based on the NPC's level. The higher the level of the mob, the fewer of them you have to kill.

From what I've seen a lot of people choose the coldain caves in GD. Specifically, the one full of 115's. 20x mobs at lvl 115 on a ~7 min spawn timer. Its mindless, it is mind numbing, but its easy.

Velks' spiders, GD caves with coldains, EW wolves, EW coldains. Mainly dark blue mobs, or white.
Avoid Giants, wurms, they have too many hps.

^^^ bingo

Most of my guild did it in GD caves, although I opted to kill blues in the open in GD because I hate killing in caves.

Thanks for the replies folks !

Sounds like I'll give GD caves a try!

GD Wurms are pretty gimp, you can almost swarm pull in there to alleviate some of the boredom ... should be good.

But to be honest, I just went about my usual business and killed random crap, it evolved eventually.

It's gonna take a long time whichever way you do it

If you don't have your ToFS keys and or Hunter done, I would recommend doing those camps while you progress the earring.

Worth noting if you don't already know, experience modifiers (lesson, potions, etc) have no effect on the ear.

This one is pure volume. Find the camp you kill the most mobs per hour and keep doing that until the end of time. It's a slog, even if you have stupid high dps. The best advice was implied by smokey. If you've got something else to be doing in ToV, focus on that, instead. It may be a little slower for evolving the ear than a straight grind, but you are covering multiple bases, then.

It's pretty easy to finish this expansion entirely before the ear is done, though. Then it's back to putting numbers on the board. Live orcs in the mines are humanoid if that matters to your crew. Velks spiders offers tons of silks (which you need tons of for T3 visible slot TS combines) which could help you gearing up alts and such.

And the thing that helped me the most... Stop and do something else for awhile if you're burning out. Better to get it done later than to burn out completely and not go back and finish it.

Cheers guys! Lots of great feedback, much appreciated.

Plenty of stuff left in the expansion for me, and still have an alt I would like some exp and progression on. Hopefully earring will get quite a bit on it’s way before I am all done

All expacs after ToV also evolve the earring. While I’m evolving my cloak in NoS my earring is still evolving.

My argument is get the NoS cloak and then evolve the earring while doing cloak. Meaning grinding in NoS versus ToV.

Double dips if you are on the newest expac. I did all progression and hunter on ToV, CoV, ToL, and NoS and I’m still evolving my damn earring. It’s insane. Got my earring at the very beginning of ToV progression too.

normally i'd ask not to necro threads - but it is good information that those pieces can evolve in the newest xpac, where we did get a new 18/19 evolving item

(thanks for the report)

I used MQ2Grind to evolve my 1st one in the ToL Shei mission. It didn't take that long honestly. I didn't start the quest until I was 120 though, and it was an after-the-fact thing for me. Same with ToV/CoV progression. I did just enough to get the missions, and farm ores. But ToV earring, the mount, etc I did when I was full 120. Grind was the way to go.

Personally I did mine in the dwarf caves in GD for one, and then the Tizmak caves for another. You can setup in the southern most cave of the tizmaks. It's a nice big cave with 0 spawns in it. great for privacy. If you try to auto pull it and the default mesh doesn't work for you reply/PM me, I have a mesh that I received from someone here that has those caves done perfectly. That spot was awesome for doing the ear.
