When I check my account, the info says my subscription expires May 30th, even though I have an active sub. Is this the norm? Does everyone else have the same thing? Perhaps it will refresh on June 1 and show accurate data?

My subscription information on the website does show it expires on the 30th but it does read that it's set up for an auto-renewal. I got an email this afternoon (5pm PST) telling me my subscription is renewing on May 30th. So... I think it should all be fine and dandy.

Change of subject but good news for next week. Brian Knox posted this

Our patch this week should finish off the original content. As much as we wanted it day 1 we had some bugs to iron out and some rebalancing to do.

We should have the patch notes out Tuesday, with memorial day we are pushing the patch back 24 hours.

Hopefully master glyphs + other stuff incoming.

I think it's because we all have our first month free, so it's listed as a free subscription for that first month. Then the regular subscription kicks in, which probably has a separate code in their system.

When tanking BAMs, what's the "outer" purple circle mean? The inner red circle is my threat, I know, but I occasionally now see a purple one. Does that mean an "extra" level of threat? i.e. level 2 threat meaning I'm getting more and more?

[Elcura]

It means the boss has temporarily shifted hate (to the person with the purple circle). If it's still on the tank then there's nothing to worry about. It's mostly for the other members of the party to see if they're about to get attacked.

[mallister]

it's not a hate shift; it's a secondary ability target circle.

Is there any special loot pools for all the level 60 instances? Like does one favor armor and one weapons or anything like that?

[Leashedragon]

Fane of Kaprima = Enigmatic Armor
Balder's Temple = Enigmatic Weapon

Fane also drops weapons, but non-enigmatic. They're a good start for Balder's as the last fight is really dependent on DPS. Not sure outside of those.

[Clave]

Ebon Tower Hard Mode also drops the same enigmatic weapons that drop in Balder's Temple, if you wanted more options for those.

[Kachiko]

Terror Labs also drops the T12 Enigmatic Armor, so in all, you've got two options, for weapons and Armor.

Recap:
T12 Enigmatic Weapons: Balder's Temple or Ebon Tower HM
T12 Enigmatic Armor: Fane of Kaprima or Terror Labs HM.

T13 Enigmatic Weapon: Balder's Temple HM
T13 Enigmatic Armor: Fane of Kaprima HM

Grapevine also says that crafted T13 Enigmatic Weapon and Armor recipes come from Balder's Temple HM and Fane of Kaprima HM, which are the only way to obtain T13 Masterwork (+12) gear, until Nexis/Battleground gear is released.

*Edit to add HM for T13 Enigmatic Armor*

T13 Enigmatic Armor: Fane of Kaprima

I just reached 60, and have a few questions before I start running the harder instances.

• Is this a typo? "T13 Enigmatic Armor: Fane of Kaprima." Shouldn't it be hard mode?
• Are the weapons and armor you get from questing the argon areas (L59) sufficient to run Balders and Fane on normal mode?
• Should I run Fane first to get the L60 non-enigmatic weapons? Haven't checked the prices. If they're not 1000g+ per piece I'll be able to buy it.

I want to run these, but I fear I'm seriously undergeared.

[sander]

Fane drops enig armors while balders drops enig weapons.

Fane first. For enig armor. + level 60 weapon.

After that you can do balders. Depending on your class. Healers don't need decked out gear since they still die from 1 shots.

But dps is the most important.. first time will be hard but since a lot of people have done it, it won't be hard.

Also fane tends to lag more than balders.

[Trocian]

Are there any T13 items that aren't drops from Balder/Kaprima?

[Indalecia]

Certain world bosses

[Trocian]

So even if the stars align and you manage to snag yourself a T13 enigmaticweapon/armor, you'll still need 100k or so gold to drop on enchanting to make it an actual upgrade. Fun stuff.

WELCOME TO ENDGAME

[Leashedragon]

Don't forget if it can be Masterworked the process you have to go through just to hopefully get it to Masterwork, and then hope to hell the stats on the Masterwork are what you want... THEN starts the money dump of upgrading. =D

Random questions of the day:
Does anyone know what mobs you can grind for Hands of Velika Rep?
Is there a diminishing returns point on "Attack Speed +%" that we know of?

None; Hands of Velika is dailies only, unfortunately.

And no, I don't think we've reached a point where Attack Speed has diminishing returns, if it even has one at all/that point is obtainable.

[Avarice]

How do I get my Valsekyr Hunt reputation up? I remember reading you kill mobs in Argonea, but I've gone that and it's not changed; am I missing a prerequisite of some kind?
