Well, I guess I'm redownloading now. Going to run through some easy dungeons for a while to get re-acclimatised to my setup and the controls and lag and all that. Maybe then I'll ask some of you guys to help me with some of the questline I'm on? One of the early ones, but it requires multiple people.

Honestly most of us who have accounts can roflstomp through the early quest lines.  Not that we wouldn't help, but it might be underwhelming if you're hoping to really 'immerse' in the battle...  But there's ALWAYS plenty of people around who want to help, guildies and strangers alike.  It'd never be a problem to find help.  I think they were also tweaked to let you go solo... but I never did the generation quests, so I don't know :P

Also, if you just want help advancing, I can help you get an easy 20 AP in exploration levels doing rafting.  It's not unusual for me to take down ~70 hobgoblins in a good run, which should take you from level 1 to 8-ish in one successful pass (~2,000 exp).  If you don't mind paying my repairs for the bow (you can earn money off rafting) you can get plenty of experience.

I can confirm that G1, at least, has been rebalanced to be solo-able, none of it requires a party anymore.

I'd still recommend a party for Tir Na Nog, as you can't revive in it. I still have to finish G1...

Sure, count me in... in the client stop crashing. I never turn my back to a dragon fight.

Also yeah, early Gen quests are kind of a joke now for high level characters.

Are the goyles still plentiful in G1 finale? If not it's pretty much been declawed. I mean the difficulty was a huge sudden jump but it was about all it had to be fair, besides the boss fight.

I'll be 'round bt 8:30 PM PST tonight, so you can add me to the list of humble bulldozers. In the event that the one doing doesn't want to risk soloing or gets wiped, I'll give priority to G1.

G3... that'll be fun.  ::)

Well, I just played for a bit training up my magic skills like I had always been intending too, then got struck by how poor I am. The game just kind of casually expects me to buy things, except they cost 3x all of the gold I have. Well really it's mostly magic things. Magic is expensive.
Guess I'll wallow in my poverty some further while I train up my bolt skills to a point where I can start doing dungeons that aren't Alby Normal.

Wand repairs are EXPENSIVE!  What you really want to do, is do the daily shadow missions, and commerce.  Those will literally bury you in money.  Like, you'll be looking for new gold bags.

Rafting isn't bad if you've got the power for it.  I can make ~12,000 gold for myself and one other per good run!  The trick is, you need to be able to one-shot multiple hobs at once, which mostly means crash shot and int magic.

I can attest. Commerce is the way to go when you need money.

Assuming you have an elephant then marble/topaz is the thing you want to ship.

Otherwise it's seaweed and baby pills.

A Wagon is pretty good too. But until you get a Wagon, Commerce is REALLY boring. And slow.

But isn't anything from tara a death sentence?
I had some lucky runs from there but bandits seem to spawn right on top of you like crazy when you carry Tara goods.

And yeah the Wagon is pretty good too... the elephant is a sidegrade in fact since you probably have no reason to carry seaweed or baby pills on a elephant if you can use a wagon.

Tara goods are a death sentence simply for how lucrative they are.  Bandit spawns and strength are based on the value of goods, so Tara goods for their incredible profit generate a lot.  But going slow and being at the computer (no minimap navigation) will do wonders.  Also bandits only spawn if you move.  Standing still will actually not spawn any bandits, even right beside you, so channel-hopping actually works.

An elephant full of furniture can net you mad profit!

Also, I've still got a spreadsheet worked up to figure the profit of different goods and if you should take a wagon or elephant.  Very few goods are actually worth taking a wagon on, the vast majority store more in an elephant.
