The range is 7 iirc, you can still do the same exact thing with BST on pretty much all the NMs except a few where your WHM will have to pay attention harder. All this did was slightly inconvenience veteran BSTs and kill the bandwagon BSTs.
Just invest in pdt/mdt sets as bst and you'll be fine. Or play a really fun job like cor..
I apologize if it's been said/asked already, but does anyone know where the new EXP mobs that give a ton of CP are?
Think those Velkk were always there but they may be higher level now.
From the .dats and some exploring:
Sih Gates (northeast, need to go through a Col. Reive): chapuli, leeches, mandies, jagils
Moh Gates: matamatas, raptors, efts, erucae
Dho Gates: jagils, triple bats, craklaws, crabs
Woh Gates (south): toads, jagils, Velkk
Outer Ra'Kaznar: twitherym, single bats, ironclads
Inner Ra'Kaznar (map 1 north): draugar + narakas (aka Gilgamesh), poxhounds + bhoots + corses, bhoots + cyhiraeths (corpselights)
Inner Ra'Kaznar (map 2 north): triple bats + vampyrs + umbrils, vodorigas (white gargouilles) + dvergar + umbrils
Moh Gates basement will take you directly to the Inner Ra'Kaznar map 1 camp, then use the D-3 or K-3 warp pad to get to map 2. The narakas/corses/vampyrs/dvergar aren't Apex but were increased in level to match the surrounding Apex mobs. There's generally 1 of those surrounded by Apex mobs. Apex Umbril has about 200k HP and kept resisting Meteor/Conflag Strike. Gonna try again later with trust tank + 1hr + Night Terror just to see how much CAP they give because this doesn't seem worth the effort.
anyone find Mellic Torque, Henic Torque, or Deceiver's Torque yet?
