    The Advice of Newbs

    I`ve been working on finishing my Daevonian set so that I can start seriously looking at a twink. Lately I`ve been running my 3rd character through NTG and I`ve picked up interesting advice from some of the newbies I catch in PuGs.

    Here`s some advice I`ve picked up:
    - As you level, the radius from which you get aggro gets smaller. This is why lowbies aggro more.
    - The tooltip for Spirit Erosion is incorrect. Spirit Erosion actually decreases drop rates by 20%, not raises.

    If these lowbies who offered up these gems ever make it to 50, I wonder what kind of players they will grow up to be. Anyone else encountered some similar kinds of "advice"?

    The aggro radius thing is true, the more lvls you got vs a mob the smaller his aggro circle is to you. The erosion thing tho sounds abysmal, wounder if it's true.

    I knew I worded that wrong lol. The guy said the actual person, the player, has an aggro radius and if a mob comes within that radius you get aggro. It`s actually the other way, mobs have an aggro radius and if your green dot comes within the yellow range, you get aggro

    But isn't that like saying 6 and half a dozen?

    They mean the exact same thing but come from a different perspective.

    If you're Elyos, do the campaign to save Elyos captives in Rashanta ASAP. Don't wait until 50.

    There is a set agro range though, its not like wow where a level 80 will see a level 1 from 3 parsecs away.

    Agro range does go down but a level 1 can still run through Kaiden HQ rather easily if your good and/or have hide.
