Astral and Geist Earrings are good.

Depending on your race you might also want to look into the ENM60 racial earrings.

Those and the hq are really nice if you can get one crafted.

I use Antivenom/Loq and then swap to Moldy/Novio for Nukes. Unless you want to shell out a good amount for Communion or those Star Sapphire Earrings or just a better MP Earring there isn't much else. I use a Novia as well when I can borrow it, Geist aren't bad but I don't have the inventory for that. I use Anti for my hmp macros anyways so it just stays on unless I'm nuking.

For my RDM, I have been very slack when it came to my earrings. To understand how slack, I'm still wearing the same earrings as I did at level 60 [Phantom's and Antivenom]

I do not own a Loquacious (And I might not in the future, not sure) or a Magenetic Earring. I just finished DM2, and was thinking of either Magnetic or Ethereal [I play DRG and RDM equally as much]. Let's say I do not pick Magnetic Earring, what should I choose to replace my Antivenom earring when I spend up that 15 mp?

These slots are the only ones that baffle me, because I don't see them AS important as the others that I've upgraded, and there doesn't appear to be many choices for me.

I have Loq, Phantom (never did bother with a +1, as I always had plans to replace it and that just hasn't happened yet), Moldavite, Communion, Geist (placeholder until I finally get Ryakho's ), Relaxing, and Antivenom. I swap in and out in macros as appropriate per spell.

For the Nigh earring, it depends what you will do with it; though if you solo at all on DRG with a mage sub, and perhaps plan to tank whatsoever as RDM, Ethereal could be a good choice.

Quick question, just to see where I'm at in terms of the right idea: what sort of numbers do you put out with Y/G/K in merit parties, Soboro SAMs? I'm sitting between 400-550 (465 average last parse).

After tossing your first Apoc Nigh and resetting the quests, do I have to wait for the Conquest Tally to pass before I can restart Shadows of the Departed, or is it immediate?

Thanks for replies.

Ps: This guy is badass.

how much shield skill do you need to cap out a size 3 shield?
how much do you need for a size 2 shield?
which size do you think would reduce the most damage with 250 skill?

They're about the same level as the robber crabs there, maybe a couple levels higher.

Depends on what you're fighting. Need 310+ to cap out a size 3 against an HNM, ~280+ to cap it against an ~EM. Size2 is significantly lower. Max average reduction is always size3 (unless Aegis comes into play, obviously).

does Extra-Fine File actually exist? is one of the 3 items needed for the Tuning In quest.
wiki reports it to drop from 3 types of fomor, mystery says it's a WAR only drop. still I am like 0/30 (and i mean 30 fomor warriors) on it, about 24h i'm struck in the damn place so I'm starting to wonder if I'm missing something (quest is activated) or if it's just a hell of a idiot droprate just like the rest of CoP shit.

[Not Kuno]

I've done that quest, so yes. I just remember killing all the forums that camped on those wooden tower thingies.

[Suiram]

I had an equally terrible experience with that quest before it finally did drop. I believe it dropped from a WAR too if that matters. I wonder if fomors just have innately terrible drop rates; that file, subligars, swift belts, usu head/morrigan legs. What's the drop rate on Fomor Tunic?

Poor forums... all those people.

I went 1/1 Extra-Fine File lawl. Now Cold Bone, holy freakin' shit. I just bought that for 100k later on.
