CarrionCaller build. Got 21k damage (tied with tops) on first try of using it correctly. (Which doesn't account for the healing it blocks, but whatevs). 15 assists. 4 deaths, 1 kill.

2-1 with the new build. was 1-4 when I was doing the wrong new build. I'm still not great at it. But, learning. In that 1 loss with new build, or healer SUCKED DICK. Like seriously, he may have been doing that instead of healing. 7k healing total.

-edit- 3-1 and got promoted. But our team was amazing this last time. Was the first time I'd been able to spawn camp with a group. We were up something like 133-9 at one point.

I saw people flag as a healer, but come in with DPS builds. Someone was raging about it during one game. Telling everyone to report him, which I don't know how to do. So, maybe that's what he did? Or he was sucking cock.

We should group queue. But I guess yall would need to be at my level? The chest wasn't great, btw.

Give this video a watch, pay attention to the details. I ran 9 dungeons in black zones yesterday and this is a pretty safe method to getting your feet wet.

I wanted to get an idea of what kind of return i could expect and at what cost would i be risking.

My gear was all T5 or T4.1 gear with an IP of 954. Total equiped value, $88,700.
One T5 map costs roughly $9,000.

Of the 9 dungeon maps i purchased i died zero times. I didn't run 3 of them at all because there were too many people around. In that case i run back and purchase a new map and try again.

i counted up the total market value of everything i got for each dungeon run and this was my results: (this doesn't include silver you get from killing mobs or tombs i picked up. Just the valuables from the chests.)

$34,000
$56,000
$413,000
$14,800
$44,000
$113,000

Pretty wide range of value in such few runs, but man that $400,000 was sweet! There was a legendary chest with a HUGE boss guarding it in the middle of the dungeon. He wasn't even the last boss. It was full of T5 and T5.1 gear. Some dungeons were short and super easy, usually the cheap money totals. Others were longer and much more difficult, those gave me the biggest loot. All except one was a T5 map, the $113,000 was from a T6 i had in my bank.

a few keys to be sure of. You are invis for 2 mins when you zone into a black zone, only if you tag the wells before you leave. When you zone in dungeon start logout timer and wait 90 seconds, if nobody shows then you have the dungeon all to yourself. When zoning out mount up and get ur ass back to town.

Gonna try a few more today ill report my results.

Was able to successfully run 5 more T5 black zone dungeons yesterday. I don't have the numbers in front of me right now but the range of items/silver bags was somewhere in the $20,000-$90,000 range per run. So in the 15 or so runs i've done i'm +$750,000. Yeah more than half of that was in one run so that kind of tilts the scales a bit. But i'm seeing this as a pretty good money maker for me right now. I might try and run some more T6 maps but i think i'll have to scale up my gear a bit.

I should note, i have not had one person dive my dungeon yet during the 90 second window upon entering. Maybe the next 15 runs will be different..

Did a Crystal Arena yesterday. Two dudes on my team had 50M fame. One had 3M fame, one had 20k fame. Like wtf you think you're doing, 20k dude?

Stranger · Post by **Stranger** » Tue Feb 21, 2023 11:24 am

After i won my first Crystal Arena i played maybe 6 or 7 games afterwards and didn't win one of them.. So i went from something like 47 points in Iron 4 or whatever division it is to 2.

I know i'm the common factor in all of those games, but it couldn't possibly be me.. Right??

I always blame the healer, personally.

We all would, but Stranger doesn't actually like playing with us

Assuming I've got time, I'm down to try anything. Except anal.

Up to this point you guys have been really skeptical about going into full PvP zones, so i guess i didn't even consider you guys would be interested.

Not true at all, you guys are the ones that got me to unsub to WoW and play this game again. Anyways i've been laying new flooring, baseboards and painting our basement the last few weekends so while i was online i was AFK a bunch Sunday and Monday.

But yes, i would be down to run some T5+ dungeons with us 3 just to see how it goes and to get you guys to know the ropes of the Black zones.

Feel free to recommend a build. I've been running axe + lifesteal for PvE with good results, but maybe there's better. Also, if we're a group, maybe we should have roles or something.

I think after faction stuff, Cake + I have better funds in case things go horribly wrong out there. I'm at 900k + 400 gold + 71,000 faction points (which could easily be about 940k more of silver). And getting 10k of faction points (120k+ silver) isn't that hard each day.

Also, I hate that every fucking thing is a Youtube video now. I just want to read.

I kinda felt like this was me saying I'm ready.

I also invited you to a party, which you accepted, then proceeded to go into some "Instanced Party". I'm guessing arenas? Which I was also queued up for at the time.

Quit solo playing this MMO!

After winning the 2 million, I'm in a better cash position! But only temporarily. JemmaBean wants to upgrade her island for 3.5 million.

I have 3.75 at the moment. I have spent all of my faction points. Bought a ton of chests. Have recently started buying the green tokens for 3k, points that I can sell for 40k silver. So all of my faction winnings are in my 3.75 total. But still. Have 5 sets of gear waiting to be donated in red/black zones.

Please don't make me read your mind like my wife does.

When i accepted your invite my que popped like 5 seconds later. When i got out you were in an instance, was playing on and off the rest of the day. Sorry bout that.

Good i'm glad you guys are getting into a better financial situation, i think you need to get to a point where you can affort to lose gear and not lose it. I haven't done nearly as much faction stuff as you two have but looks like its a safe decent money maker.

I'm doing the 5k each day to get the bonus points + the chests. But it's always there if you need it. Wear some low end gear so you don't have to pay much for repairs, and zerg away.

I called them "RED ZONE KITS". What don't you understand?!?! To be more clear, these RED ZONE KITS are being bought for going into RED ZONES! (which at the time of purchase was the zone you were talking about going to)

Fair enough, guess i didn't catch that. But you're going to need black zone kits now.

Mists: You can get to 2 player mists by going there from Brecilien. You can choose 1 player normal (yellow), 1 player lethal, or 2 player lethal. Finally went there today (Brecilien).

I knocked down a pvp'er in yellow today. He was ganking fishermen, so I just danced around waiting for someone to engage him. someone did, the pvper tried to run, and I ran him down and killed him. 620 silver. lol.

I got a T5 swiftclaw cub today!

Post by **TheCatt** » Tue Feb 21, 2023 5:19 pm

Uh, shit. I went to Brecilien, and thought when the mist ended I'd be back in Yew woods. And I'm in Brecilien.

30 minutes later: still stuck. Can pay 90k to get out... might have to.

10 minutes later: Found a blue road exit; ended up in Orange territory, and walked home. That was a waste.
