How is hib these days?

[Xzynia]

Hi guys,

How is hib these days?? Have been playing midgard for 2 yrs now and frankly, getting a bit tired of it. Im tired of the overcharged prices on everything.

Lately i have been considering doin /del all and roll Hib instead. Just wanted to know how hib is these days?? Easy to get groups etc? I can solo np, bringing my bb as well...

Prices on scrolls?? Midgard Regarding shades 3/3 = 25p, how is it in hibland?

Thinking of starting out with an animist cuz im gonna need a class that can farm some stuff for me, and then im gonna do a luri NS i guess, always loved NS..

Cheers :wub:

Think shades 3of3 goes for about the same.. maybe a little more dunno..
But some grps around, and poc grps etc.. and we just got our selves a nice plink plink pwr relic

Aye 25p average although some nice fella had it for 20p yesterday, thx
Your more likely to get a group in mid than in hib.. but if your playing a ani/bb your shouldnt find difficulty in get peeps to join you, groups search is none existent though, that includes df.

 

[Xzynia]

Ok, well the prices doesnt really matter as long as there is a good farmer class.

 

[sphir]

not to hard to get them in hib, all you need is to be ml3 and do a farm group and you will get it rather fast, theres a few random rvr grps and some guilds tend to do some also, pve shouldnt be thaat hard with catacombs and all the new quests etc, xp killtasks

 

[Xzynia]

But what about farming? Which class would be best suited for that?

 

[Mey]

Chanter + bb for farming

 

[Frozodo]

i normally sells SoM 3o3 for 15-20p tbh easy to farm with some animists . And afaik it should be okay to get some grps around in hib or else i would reckon u go chanter + bb easiest way to 50

 

[Xzynia]

Im rerolling with a friend, dont care that much about PvE groups, i just want a class who i can farm with so i can get plats and stuff for my chars...

 

[Frozodo]

hehe well dont know what to roll m8... what was ur favour class on mid then u just roll the hib version of it and see the magic works better for us hibs

 

[Acetylsalicylic]

But what about farming? Which class would be best suited for that?

Verd Ani & buffbot, no doubt about it.

I rerolled from excal/mid in february and haven't looked back. Love it on Hib, sure there's some dicks but to be honest there's nowhere near the number I seemed to meet on Midgard EVERY single day. Most of the people are funny and sociable.

I started a chanter + druid, enjoyed both classes but I'd agree with Acet that a verd animist would be a better partner. Only thing I would warn about is you'll go mad at having to constantly shroom and it's only really better if you've got FOP or a few power regen RAs (MCL is vital) or it'll just be too slow and chanter would be faster.

I did most of my leveling in old zones (since I was an ex-innis hibbie and knew sheeroe/cullen etc well) and the new frontier zones. I didn't even touch SI. There's plenty of decent camps to be had for a chanter/druid or ani/druid to murder, personally I favour the frontier zones even at the risk of getting XP killed. The XP can just be so damn sweet..

 

[Xzynia]

Sofar it seems as its chanter vs. animist...

Its not about lvl 50 fast as possible, its more getting scrolls etc. Heard animists is teh r0x3r farming with, but havent considered chanters yet.

If someone have som experiences with farming with the 2 classes, plz post

cheers

Well m8..

i would go for Chanter + BB.. Anis am good but best in grps ( like 2-3 anis or more )

The new "fotm" in farming am Chanters or new and new but i see more of em now than a few month ago.. Chanter + BB can do most artis like SoM / Cs / GoV ( if you have a puller ) / Tartaros / MT / name it..

Edit: you might need a mana menta for artis.. i dunno dont have a chanter

 

[Soulja_IA_]

Well if you want farming char for toa it have to be light Ment and sally with druid BB they seem to take care of everything.

Enchanter(Mana) and Druid buffbot is great.

Found with animists farming you need a couple of animists to do all round farming.

It seems it just gonna be you self and a friend I go for either light Ment/BB or Mana Enchanter and BB.

Soulja
And load of others

 

[My- / Thaff]

i have a light menta myself ( only RR2 or so "farmbot" ) it have +12-13 to light.. dont remember..

but i would rather have a chanter than my light menta for farming.. i loose charm all the time.. it can do SoM / Malice with bb and mana menta BUT only if im lucky and dont loose stick ( wich havnt happend yet ) me and frozodo had malice down to 1% hp and my sally attacked me.. we did it about 3 times and lost sally everytime when it was about 20-40% life.. and the same thing with SoM..

ill rather have a chanter + BB for that..

Edit: sry for my bad english.. on light menta you have to be around RR5 or higher to have a good charm on sallys.. Mycharmer ( my menta ) have 50 light

 

[Ballard]

No at RR3 you are fine if you have 48 light and at least 10% spell duration you will not drop that often. At rr2 there are just too many drops for the artifact mobs/phulaxs for mt2. Menty with sally and BB is still a great farmer.

At RR3 with sally and BB you can easily do Ceremonial bracer ( all 3 mobs ) , mad tales , croc ring , SOM , ml1.1 etc..

For scrolls I find swimming the sally to meso is great as he can take 8 or so melos mobs at once np. Still good for aerus and volc farming aswell tho.


EDIT: malice is harder as you need to ensure you dont get stunned otherwise there is a good chance you will loose your pet if you dont have a GOLM charge or something going. Its just important to position yourself to avoid that. Still I wouldnt do it unless I have 3-4 runners else it just takes too long.

 

[My- / Thaff]

Well never tried with a Sally other places then volc cba to swim all that long way hehe ..

and the stun mobs at malice aint any prob. it was first after the tokens was gone ( and the healer / stun mobs ) i lost charm.. and i had to leave the game after a few retries and then SoM where i also lost charm.. ( im a bad looser )

Imo if we had Alb charm ( the non charnt thing ) it wouldnt be any prob and then it would be Light menta > Chanter but as it is now i would rather run a chanter.. and they can easily farm scrolls aswell..

But guess it depends on how you like to play Etc Etc..

EDIT: Malice was with 2 ppls both running 2 accs and had to heal aswell .. it Took HOURS thats why i hate when ya loose it in the end..

 

[solsikke]

chanter with ml 9 conv pet+ buffs is uber, can take high lvl mobs

2 anis + fop is great for fast farming

 

[Ogen]

Im not sure, altho i have to agree the sally charm is a pain in the arse if it resists, or you get messed.. kinda stupid tbh, like mythic didnt think of that or something... But anyway, i guess its a matter of skillz and learning to use it well.. A friend of mine rolled a chanter and a bb at the same time to 50 in about 2 weeks i think. And he farmed roughtly 250p the following mounth(chanter+bb) after getting ml9. I think that speaks for it self

 

[Ballard]

Imo if we had Alb charm ( the non charnt thing ) it wouldnt be any prob and then it would be Light menta > Chanter but as it is now i would rather run a chanter.. and they can easily farm scrolls aswell..

I think it comes down to personal opinion Each have their advantages.

As an aside if our charm was the same as sorc it would also be level limited like theirs and so we probably couldnt take sallies. Mincer charm is very similar to menties in that it can break and is pulse based.

EDIT: The only thing i would change with mentys versus sorcs is to make our single target mezz have comparable range to theirs

you might have a point, i played alb once but always as figther / healer or cabby no other caster so i dunno about their charm other than its not a pulse...

but some way hib charm am also lvl limited since higher lvl mobs will resist your charm anyways.. oO Charmed Dragon

 

[Ballard]

hehe before they put in the 'you cannot charm this monster' logic there was screenshots of some really high level named monsters being charmed only for a second or less but enough to hit the screenshot button

Sorcs can charm at their level, no more no less. So max is level 50. Whereas menties can still charm lvl 60+ mobs sometimes just near impossible to hold em.

 

[My- / Thaff]

Hmm ok.. then give Hib Charm without the pulse the best of alb / hib charms.. we are the Caster realm...

What he said for scroll farming as a duo. your'll want 50+12 light and atleast 12 spell duration but yes the best for duo, verd ani and bb are more pl & dungeon cash etc where as light & bb are as above, trio would be chanter, bb, and mana ment. And ani's own all if played as three arb ani & fop. i have experience with all and still prefer the chanter as ive excess to hot and can kill more than one a time unlike sally pet but id still advise you to be light ment - bb (for scroll farming only).
