will ding my second level 50 today - solo grinding as a chloro/warlock is insane xp, i can pull 4-5 mobs safely and ~10 every 3 minutes when i have cooldowns up. it's around 4-7k xp per pull and insane money, i'm sitting at 190p at lvl48.8 when i logged out last night and i've trained all my souls + bought all 4 callings already.

we also grinded some invasions during a world event which was a real laugh, they had stacked up to like 30-40 mobs in one spot, so we thought fuck it we'll try it - turns out justicar + chloro doesn't die, ever. 400 planarite per whipe of the mobs. :D

Finally dinged 50 last night.
Last level is a pain, because you´re running out of quests at 48-49 and need to grind the last level, daylies and riftsurfing. Not a bad thing actually, but it´s certainly a difference from the 1-49 easymode questing.

Arenas are a bit frustrating because they´re filled with set up groups in high end gear. A warfront would be nice. Started a cleric twink now, just for the fun of it.

Grind ? sounds like a few days at the Taskers 4 me ! ( which we all know and love)

Don't know how people manage to run out of quests before 50 unless they ignore every mob in their path and haven't done a single WF/instance on the way up, I'm 48 and haven't finished Shimmersand, not been to Stillmoor, haven't done IT/RD/AP/CC/LH, never went to Moonshade Highlands nor finished Droughtlands, so hmm :p

What are you guys seeing with people leaving? I've left this game faster than any other mmo i've played, and it seems like people are leaving faster than Warhammer or aoc even.

Just purchased it.


Where are the majority of FH'ers?

Nowhere really, Shivermere has a few though and if new rerollers start there it soon will be THE ONE! Defiant side

Im gonna give it a chance till im 50 a month or so, what people don't understand is when Daoc and even WoW was released there wasn't many options so people just slugged through it, the market has gotten alot more picky and wants instance OMG GOODNESS.

Just my opinion

Nothing about the game/mechanics were fun, I was hoping there'd be some good world pvp at 50 but there isn't so bleh.

If I wanted to grind heroics and battlegrounds... well you get the picture.

So I'm playing tera where the game is actually fun.

Is there a free trial and how big is the client ?

What server you playing on and how many servers are there and how does the pvp system work ?

Cool - I have a posessed glowing eyed bunny as a companion - got it from one of those random gift planar items :clap:

So can you eventually get access to every soul in your class? I have jumped in without reading on this game :)

I don't get this whole get to 50 quick then abandon the game because there is no endgame mentality that seems to have evolved in mom's

Games these days are never a finished product on release and mmo's are no exception, endgame always grows from release and it's been that way for years now so why are people who get 50 within a month of release surprised when there's

A - not much content, and

B - no one to fight (as the majority aren't levelling as quickly)

But actually given how new Rift is there's a very decent amount of endgame content :)

People really should appreciate it more than they do.

Cool - I bought a second role and found and did the soul quests - think I have all bar the PvP soul which I cant afford yet.

Might try a cabalist set for second role?

I tried the cleric AoE inquisitor spec for levelling. I think lvl25 is too low for it tho- most I can kill is 2 mobs and even that can get a bit hairy ( i have some points in warden for the HoTs). Bored off my tits of questing already tho. I seem to get all my exp from warfronts :) Wish I could actually spend the favor tho.. I have about 12K saved up but there's nothing useful to get with it.

if u wanna pvp, get the templar soul asap, ive only just got it at 37 & its insane ! Player crits are reduced by 15%, not even sure if ppl have above 15% at this level. Ive tried to max out crit & am on 12.5%, thats with all items blue & 1 epic.

Don't know much about cleric souls :p you could preview 'em at Soul Tree Calculator :: Rift :: ZAM or just go ahead & try it! :p

Bought the pvp soul ileks? Only costs 2,500 though, I'd save the rest for 50

Yep got that, break free comes in handy.

Anyone happen to know what the Codex Token you can buy does? Absolutely no info on it as far as I can see, all it says is "quest item" in game as well.

Sentinel + Warden and i just heal like mad. Cast silence + knock back whenever I can as well :) We (defiant) seem to win at least 80% of the time on Shivermere which is nice as well :p Not sure if this will change after level 30 tho.
