Need a break from the lush green hills of Hibernia? Let's follow two of Excalibur's finest 40+ rangers on an adventure I call, "How To Get Ahead In Albion". On Prydwen, in case you thought this was another collection of screenshots from a proud wall bug abuser.
1) Decide to be a friar (insane melee staff damage? heals and buffs? all the ale you can drink? sign me up!) and roll an acolyte.
2) Meet up with other ranger guildmate who has previously explored a little of Albion and made a level 6 minstrel.
3) Decide to do kill tasks at minstrel speed to level up.
4) Much wandering ensues.
5) Dawning realization that a) Albion guards tell big fat whopping lies when they give you directions to kill mobs, and b) we have no idea where the mobs are.
6) Take a nice tour of Camelot. Dance on round table (obligatory). Laugh at King Arthur's tomb (highly recommended). Express frustration that while Camelot is ass-ugly and was apparently decorated by colour-blind circus clowns, it is incredibly rich with atmosphere and locations for role-playing like the pubs, the cathedral, the war rooms and the round table chamber. Rant at Mythic for short-changing Hibernia again.
7) Decide to powerlevel acolyte by killing yellows and blues to minstrel.
8) Minstrel has not played minstrel since before the patch. All the quickbar shortcuts have been moved around and ranger has forgotten how to be a minstrel anyways. Hilarity ensues.
9) Minstrel gets himself sorted and levels acolyte to 5 in a shockingly short time. Nerf minstrels! Use brief down time periods to consult web site about friars for information about spec lines and spells. Puzzle at difference between staves and quarterstaves.
10) Return to Camelot. Be astonished that neither friar trainer will accept to train acolyte as friar.
11) Return to friar web site and read FAQ question #1: "Why can't I become a friar?" A: "Because you are a Highlander. Reroll."
12) &%$@#@!
13) Delete stupid highlander and call it a night.
We'll be back, Albion!
