Does Order of the Eye / Order of the Unseen (?) rep skip over Glorified?? Most of the other PvP rep factions go straight to cap Revered once you finish Honored.

**Senji** · 2011-08-26 23:35

Glorified is after revered. The present cap is revered anyways.

litterly downloading and installing as we speak, what's the top 5 things I should do to right off the bat to make this game a repeatable enjoyment? (I've never played WOW, not once, only played FFXI relgiously, and FFXIV for a week before I couldn't deal with it anymore.)

also anyone that plays around 7-11pm EST let me know what "shard" your on if you wanna be my obi wan.

**Alderaan** · 2011-09-02 22:49

Enjoy your first leveling experience because there's really no replay value. Level a cleric or warrior for maximum enjoyment.

**shepardG** · 2011-09-02 22:54

there's no replay value in the leveling of job classes?

**Crizto** · 2011-09-02 23:13

It depends if you like the class you're leveling. I enjoyed leveling my Warrior alt, despite the fact that I had already done the quests and such. If you like the class mechanics you'll most likely enjoy the leveling process. It's mostly a solo experience

**Alderaan** · 2011-09-03 00:09

I tried leveling a second class and just couldn't bring myself to do it. Same linear path a second time got to me. I'm sure if i had a static group running dungeons it would have been more doable.

Mage is also extremely good if you're a good one.

Leveling in this game was retard easy. I got a Cleric to 38, didn't like it and rerolled Mage. It hit 50 yesterday, and my account is all of 2.5 weeks old. Now that I'm able to run experts, it leads to my question. I enjoy Archon quite a bit, and I understand for raiding it's basically a 51point spec. For experts will I be better off going 51Archon, or is it better to do something like 34Archon/32Chloro?

**shepardG** · 2011-09-03 09:55

well i just made it back through the time portal bullshit, i chose sabateour/ranger/marksman.... so i imagine i'll be shooting ixion or some shit.

I have no idea what to chose on the soultree though i'm just focusing on crit and/or DEX /shrug....

any suggestions?

**Raen Ryong** · 2011-09-03 11:37

Could just tell you, but it should become reasonably apparent as you play whether your spec is any good, and what you should be choosing. It's cheap to change setup at any time.

What I will say is that the best setup is rarely to balance the 3 souls in your role in terms of points invested.

EDIT: As a Rogue, DEX is your best offensive stat point-for-point. 1DEX = 1crit and 0.5 attack power. Then STR is just 0.5 attack power. Crit vs Attack Power is difficult.

34/32 for experts

**Syntex** · 2011-09-05 03:10

You can spec how you want but I prefer this build.

@25 http://rift.zam.com/en/stc.html?t=0MVpM.VbdA0M0o.VG0h

Eventually you do a full bladedancer/assassin/riftstalker build.

This is what mine looked like at 50.

Fill in assassin last.

Question: I've been leveling my Rogue (now 40) and I can use bard for leveling purely for buffs/heals/survivability. With that being said, I'm also leveling my warrior which is almost 29 yet I find myself having less option for survivability. There are no 'bandages' in this game and all I've seen is quick drinking pots or healing pots (which seem to have a super long cooldown). What else can I do for more survivability? I'm just tired of killing 3-4 mobs then having to drink etc.

**Alderaan** · 2011-09-07 23:47

I used bard for leveling until i discovered the beauty of bladedancer and 13 points into riftstalker for Rift Scavenger, which heals you after every mob based on combo points left. For warrior, i have no idea.

**Raen Ryong** · 2011-09-07 23:56

Warrior with Riftblade and the blade spell which means you recover HP when you critical isn't too bad.

**shepardG** · 2011-09-08 00:04

Looks like you're spawning on one of the layers stacked on that alter because your feet look sunk in a bit and walking forward you clip the ground by that inch or so and puts the base of your characters hitbox below the constructed ground allowing you to fall.

A simple jump then walk forward or jump forward should fix the problem and shouldn't happen again.

...... dot dot dot

I am going to punch you in the face when i find you ^^
HOWEVER, It appears that I had a couple bad sectors or orphaned files or some shit on my new SSD so's i'm in the process of fixing that, and hopefully the recovery tool will work.
EDIT:
It did, just scheduled chkdsk to run on startup and scan the C: drive. Fixed a bunch of unknown files or some crap. updated, ran recovery (total time was like 10mins) and game works fine again.

I lol'd at that video far too much. Sorry...it was cracking me up. Reminds me of AoC launch.
