Solo Shadowknight 57 to 60 Random zone run

Episode Summary

What happens in this run.

  • The random zone roll lands on Temple of Droga, an updated 2.0 version of the old Kunark zone.
  • Nomeregard rolls in at level 57 with Jane's Veil up and a healer mercenary out, planning to grind to 60.
  • Cleans up the upper area trash before dropping down toward the king and the slag mines for slightly higher level mobs.
  • Hits 58, then 59, then 60 across the run, picking up new AAs and spells at each ding.

The Setup

How the SK is wired for this kind of solo grind.

  • Jane's Veil: Roughly 100 point damage shield carrying the entire fight. Mobs basically suicide on the DS.
  • Healer mercenary: Out the whole time, plus the SK pet (a Schwantor illusion) along for extra DPS.
  • HP: Around 7,000 to 8,000 by the end of the run.
  • Spell rotation: Snare for the snare component, Drain Spirit life tap for damage, and chain lifetapping to keep mana topped up.
  • Tribute: Mental Corruption running for extra mana regen since damage isn't a concern.

Level Ups

What you pick up at each ding.

  • 58: Nothing notable.
  • 59: Big AA dump. Fear Resistance 4, Improved Bash, Two-Handed Bash, Unholy Steed, Leech Touch (instant lay-on-hands-style nuke), Soul Abrasion, Double Riposte, Spell Casting Reinforcement, Mental Clarity, Natural Durability, Regeneration, and Companion's Discipline (pet hold).
  • 60: Mystical 23 (extra buff slot), Prowess 7, Weapon Affinity (60% mortal proc chance), Persistent Casting, Power of the Nest 4, plus new spells: Terror line heal and Call of Darkness (8min mana regen).

Heroic stamina build: Plans to stack heroic stamina instead of dexterity for the higher level raids since the SK and Shaman both benefit, saving currency on type 5 augs later.

What's Next

Plans after dinging 60.

  • Trakanon attempt: Will need shaman poison resistance buffs to handle the poison DoT, plus a couple HP buffs.
  • Velious raid bosses: Probably hitting in the 1500 range, which is a problem at 7k HP. Going to need real gear or higher levels first.
  • Multi-video week: Whole week of level 60 content planned, expect short videos for the swim-out-and-kill-a-dragon raids and longer ones for the trash-heavy ones.

Hello and welcome to Nomard’s Journey. Today we’re uh going to level up a little bit more. We are currently 57. We just got that in the TOR mines. Uh so uh let’s get a zone. Uh now I’m going to do the same random as we did last time. So uh that’s Lost Dungeon Noras. We’re not going to do those right now because there’s no real benefit until 65 and you get the maximum currency. Uh, that is not a experience zone. Western place. No, Temple Droga. Uh, I think we can do that one. I think that one’s going to work. I’m not going to got to go freaking westerly place. That is a That is not going to be a zone we’re going to get any experience in. All right. Temple of Droga. Uh, let’s go there. Jeez. Uh, yeah. So, this should be an actually uh good zone. Uh if I remember correctly, this one was pretty good since it does get uh it does get buffed uh at some point during the timeline. So, the current version is like 2.0 or something like that. So, it’s pretty nice and uh it’s pretty cool that they updated a zone that didn’t get much love during Kunarch. There we go. Let’s go to over there. Now, this, you know, it kind like the whole concept of it, right? Like kind of goes back to like the whole um whole thing of how EverQuest is, right? Like I wish it was more of a living zone. Like, uh, you know, like the zones don’t really really like they’re like bubbles, right? They don’t change. They don’t update. And I feel like plain of knowledge, the hub zone should like update every expansion in some form or fashion other than putting a second option on the dial on the on the stone clicky, right? I feel like that’s that would make it kind of a little bit more exciting in the sense that, you know, some old zones might get updated with some new content. not not necessarily change the old zone in such a way that it’s it’s no longer what it was. I I don’t like I don’t like taking content away, but adding content to the existing zones to kind of feed into the new zone, right? You know, like maybe have uh a new quest NPC that says, “Hey, here’s a quest. go off to, you know, torment aas and do some, you know, stuff, right? I think those kind of things would make it really more integrated to the whole, you know, having a, you know, like if we go to like this is something I was thinking about like I thought it would be kind of cool if we go plan to power knowledge, right? Okay, look at the map of plane of knowledge, right? like kind of stuck here and you got the evil there, you got the good there. I would say build another section right here. Add some geometry. You know, it’s or just, you know, cut these walls down. Bring these walls down. Move these stones so they go like this. You know, like spread them out. Maybe put Plane of Tranquility in the center and then have room for all the, you know, other expansion stones there. Uh, and stuff like that. That would be kind of cool. You know, start adding new stuff like the have the plane, you know, the plane of knowledge evolve over time and stuff like that. That would be pretty interesting, you know. And then if you add if you come back later on, you do another Planaines of Power expansion, you know, where there’s more stuff, you could definitely uh, you know, have room to update and stuff like that. Like right now, they’re like doubling up on on stones, you know, as they go to the same one. Uh, that’s kind of convenient. It’s at times, but like, you know, some of these places don’t even have stones to go to. Uh, like there isn’t a stone for lucinium. still have to go from um you know plain of knowledge nexus and then you sit around for a port to the sinium you know that’s kind of that’s not as fun right I think there’s some cool things they could do with uh making it feel more alive and you know less here’s the next five zones you know just something something that would be very uh Like I I don’t know their tooling, but if you if you look at it from like a modern game engine example, right? Like adding an NPC in like Unreal Engine or Unity is is trivial uh considering that like there’s not much to them besides they stand there and uh some dialogue. So I don’t know their tooling, but you know it could be harder than what you know I’m saying. But it couldn’t take more than a week to add a NPC I would say. I would hope anyway because if if it takes more than a week to add an NPC, their workflow needs to be uh updated, but you know, adding that little stuff like that shouldn’t be, you know, incredibly difficult, but you never know. I would love to I would love to see the world, you know, evolve a little bit. You know, I think that’s one of the things that World of Warcraft gets really really good, right? Is they they update the main hub zones like uh the ogre uh the ogre, the orc city and the human city. They get updated. Uh probably every expansion there’s little quests and stuff. There’s like, you know, the different phasing. So if you’re in a different, you know, part of the game, you can go into you see it differently than a different, you know, timeline and stuff like that. I I feel like the little things like that kind of, you know, make it feel more alive and stuff. And you just you see all these people because that’s the hub city, right? And the hub city in EverQuest is guild lobby. like that’s where all the people are on this server because people want to get buffs uh and stuff like that and it’s you know I don’t know I don’t know man just you know some spitballing there while we walk from uh zone to zone you know talking about some ideas maybe maybe somebody agrees maybe some doesn’t you know I I want to get some community discourse talking about different things that we could you know suggest to them maybe they and maybe they can do it and uh get it get it going, you know? I I I feel like the the MMO part is gone. Like, you know, you don’t really need people to do things now. Like, I’m a proponent, you know, I like soloing. I I prefer soloing in most cases because my I’m literally I’m playing 10 o’clock on a Thursday morning, right? and the the the the number of people that are playing at the same time as me is is a lot lower than uh like say prime time, you know. So, I I prefer soloing, but soloing doesn’t discount the MMO aspects of it, right? Like seeing other players, you know, and you know, being able to help other players but maybe not group with them. Like the I know some some games let you like same people attack the same mob. You don’t even have to be grouped and it’s not a, you know, it’s not a kill, you know, you’re not stealing kills and stuff like that. It’s, you know, there’s less friction, right? I think EverQuest has a lot of friction when it comes to a lot of things, right? It’s, you know, whoever does the most damage gets to kill. Uh there’s friction point one, right? You can’t you can’t just randomly help anybody uh without stealing their kills. You know, that’s kind of a you know, a detriment I say because people like to help. Like at the end of the day, you play on the you play a different game and you know you’re having problems, you can you get somebody to come help you and they’ll come help you, right? Um things like that are just a little This one’s light blue. All right, what do we got here? Light blue. Oh my god. Are we Are we cooked? It’s got to get It’s got to get harder. We’re just walking past everybody. This is my god. It says 48 to 63 on this uh on this level here. Let me let me see what the in game zone guide says. Uh draw temple. What? There’s two temple dro guys. Okay. Uh it says 45 to 60. I got 48 to 63. So, this could be the 45 area. I’ll have to I’ll have to look that up and see where I got that 48. These are all light blue. Conveniently, they don’t see invis. So, that’s nice. Oh, there’s a yellow. All right. All right. We’re We’re doing good here. Now, which direction? I think we want to go this way. Yeah, the air low. Yeah, that’s that’s the right direction. All right, there’s a named right here. What’s he uh is he up? No. All right, let’s start with this guy. Jeez. Oh my gosh. All right, what do we got here? We got a uh gnome healer out. I don’t like that. So, we’ll fix that. I think I was getting rebuffed. Let’s get snare on this guy. There we go. Maybe dot him up too. There we go. And we did get a new do uh life tap drain spirit. Uh it is, you know, much larger, right? damage. So pretty cool. Uh, I know someone posted that, you know, do uh life tabs are most inefficient spells and uh stuff like that, but literally that’s the only thing that lands on red bomb. So, there’s no other option in all honesty. And I’m not too concerned about efficiency, right? like it it this if I was going for efficient I’d uh I’d box like 12 characters to you know protect this one uh with damage shields and all kinds of stuff. So, I don’t really it doesn’t really matter to me at all if I’m losing a little bit of mana over casting a spell cuz at the end of the day, it’s, you know, it’s it’s very these fights aren’t going to really matter too much, especially uh like we have clarity potion that we can click, you know, get that. Oh, yeah, we lost our experience potion. Yeah, that’s what we lost. Uh, we’re going another ad here. All right, we got a noxious droen spider. All right, like this. This like, you know, you can you can optimize the crap out of everything, right? And it’s playing a solo character is not optimization anyway because it’s more efficient to have more characters. Just takes more effort. But at the same time, you know, if if I had other spells, like there’s not a whole lot of direct damage nukes that uh you know, we get, right? It’s it’s all about that. Typically, we would be taking a lot of damage right now anyway if we we didn’t pick Jane’s Veil, right? It would be at least at least some damage. So that kind of helps us now, but you saw on the gore fight it it, you know, we still still can able to do it. All right, we’re going to pick the Schwintor for this episode as soon as we get him get out of combat here. I’m going to go in viz for a second after this guy dies. Yeah, 157 procs on the the dagger. Nice. Or whatever. sword. Looks like a dagger in a gnome’s hand. All right, look at this son of a gun. Look at him. He’s got He’s He looks cool. He’s like just like primal as could be. He’s just a little too big, I think. I wish I could shrink him. Uh let’s see here. We got a few here. Why not? He is on burn mode. Perfect. Look at him. Look at him go. Oh my gosh. I don’t even know what expansion that guy is from. I think it’s I think he’s a Seeds of Destruction one, but I don’t remember buying Seeds of Destruction on this account. So, I don’t know how I got it. Now, did I Let me see here. Did I claim There might be a There might be a different one. Let me see here. Restless Griffin. Yeah, I already claimed it. Okay. Copper armband. Okay, that’s junk. I was wondering if I claimed the U. Oh, what expansion is it? The Torment Develas thing that’s currently in the shop or it was in the shop. I don’t know if it still is. Yeah, these ones right here. The additional item bundles and morph wand. Is it Is there Is there an illusion with this? Like I said, I I don’t see it. Oh, there’s an orc. Okay. Where the hell did I put that? Oh gosh, I have so much junk. I have my uh my dragon horde is full of these like prize items and uh like you know you open the little crates that you get. I used to open those instead of get the experience potions for some reason. And my uh my dragon horde is just like absolutely full of these uh prize things. None of them. None of them seem cool except for Oh, let me see if I can find I This like the only one I claimed. See if I even have it on this character. It was like some kind of flying squirrel or some [\h__\h] It was just like so cool looking. I don’t think I have it on here. Might be on uh my uh paladin. Uh let’s see here. Yeah, this is pretty good. This is uh still like 5% but I think we’re you know we’re at that point but they’re yellow. So well actually what was the yellow one? 5% 6%. So maybe 6% for the yellow. Let us uh let’s click on experience potion cuz I preer to uh spend less of my time doing this than more of my time. I got the I got the raid itch, if you know what I mean. Go get the the next tier the next few done. I got them all I got them all scheduled on my Trello board. I’m like I’m like motivated to uh to get these things uh some attempts here. 7%. Nice. All right, this one’s red. This Hawai’s He’s swinging that big old dagger looking thing he’s got in his hand. This is crazy. Oh my gosh. I wonder if the tank one has a different illusion because that would be kind of funny to have as a pet for going through all this stuff cuz I’m probably going to make him a ogre shaman. I think that’s probably what he’s going to be. Would you I I wish I wish um Let me see. Key rings. I wish there was a all all gnome illusion, right? That would be that would be fantastic. What is this? Junk. Junk. Junk. 8% for the red one. All right. I like that. expecting those two to add on, but uh that’s nice. Let’s go ahead and get him snared. Now, I only use the snare because it it’s, you know, the the for the snare component. I don’t use it for the damage. If uh when we get the AA snare, I will I will be replacing that with uh probably the lifetap dot. I think that’s going to be the best option there just to have that extra stuff. And I’ve been running Mental Corruption this whole time, which uh gives us more mana back, which I feel like is probably like the best the best option for the way I play right now. I got like we we’re not taking damage, right, because of Jane’s Veil. So, being able to get the mana back is probably the best thing we can do. Plus, I’m jump chain lifeet tapping anyway. Uh, so it is uh behooves me to get as much mana back as possible. What did I lose? Oh, that’s temperance. All right, that’s not a big deal. And I think it like when we get to Velus I think it it will be I’ll start rebuffing my character probably like right now I’m not really concerned about buffs because they just get dispelled just like a nightmare. But we’ll probably, you know, start really doing some serious buffing at uh like the raids, I think, because we’re going to need we’re going to need every bit we can. If we tr we if we attempt raids at 60 or 65, those are going to be challenging. We might be able to take out Vindicator, but everything else is going to be an actual challenge. I think maybe the lower tier stuff might be easy, but the sheer amount of damage we’re going to take is just going to be crazy. Kind of like how when we we got stomped by Gmbis, right? Like he’s, you know, he’s I think he’s a level 60 65 raid boss, right? So, we’re going to probably need like 70 to even do anything to him, right? It’s going to be it’s going to be interesting to see. Uh maybe if we had like full intricate define. I think that’s the best we can get right now. That might push us over the edge to be able to handle stuff more. But this stuff’s not uh not common. Now, I have a full set of it on my warrior hamock, and I might uh I might have to spend tokens to upgrade, but I really don’t want to. So, I want to save those for, you know, uh more higherend higherend weapons, I think, is the uh kind of where I want to focus that. But I have all the I have all the weapons that Hobs used that are uh from all the raids. So I’ll have to look at the ratios on all those and see which one would uh fit the best. There we go. These This is not too bad. See here. Let’s see if I can grab that guy. I think there’s a little bit higher level ones, too. Like these ones are yellow. These are what, 59? So, I just definitely think you could get to 60 off these. I think they get a little higher level just a little bit as you get down here to like the king and stuff like that. So, I guess we’ll find out. There we go. Oh, blood. Kind of late to the game on the dot, but it’s fine. Here, let’s do this. There we go. We got our HP buff back. Haste is refreshed and we’re good. All right, a red one. These ones are worth so much more. Dooming darkness. Is this uh Oh, it looks like the names are like totally random. So, we’re going to do this. I think kind of like this little loop. We’re going to go ahead and do that. Come on now. It’s kind of It’s kind of nice like I don’t have to like really worry about healing right now. We’re doing experience. It’s kind of a nice little uh bonus to get us leveling just slightly faster. So 8% for uh the red guy, which is a good number. They just last a little longer, but uh definitely worth it. And we have 5 AAA. All right, let’s grab foraging. Let’s Let’s get on that early. All right, let’s get on foraging early. So that’s going to be two. And I’m going to change this around. DOA2. There we go. Inventory. And target him again. Now, that’ll just make it so that we’ll uh auto inventory everything on our hand at the same time versus kind of like doing it and then not doing it. All right, 58. Woo! I did not expect that that quick. Anyway, so we didn’t get anything new at 58. 59 is when we’re going to get all the AAS that uh we want, right? And 60 just gives us the spells we want, right? Like if we look down here, uh we’re going to pick up Leech Curse, which will heals me for 100% of the damage done and my melee attacks, which might be kind of nice uh for solo. That’s the same effect uh that the 2.0 does, which Um, at some point we’re going to have to do the 1.0. Then we’ll have to do the 2.0. Uh, or I guess the 1.5. So, we’re going to be working towards those. Now, I know I don’t think I can solo Omen’s War Raids until 85. Um, so that’s going to be that is going to be a little work. And I don’t think I have an extra orb on this guy. I think uh let me see here. I don’t know what it’s called. Orb. Uh, I don’t know what it’s called, so I’m not 100% sure. I might have one on him from uh when I did it with Hobs and Friends, but I think we’ll we’ll probably go and do it again, right? Like regardless, I’ll have to see if I do cuz then I’ll have to probably have to do like the wizard epic or something just to get that consumed so we have free freedom to uh get another one. But definitely uh definitely got to do that. And I I’ I’m like I’m I’ve always wanted to make Normanard a shaman, right? like had like there’s one there’s a nomard version on uh one of the TLPS that’s a troll shaman and I just don’t like the way trolls look. So I’m thinking an ogre looks just like a gnome with like giant giantism, right? So that might be kind of fun to uh run around as a shruggre and stuff like that. And uh then he can join Hobs and Friends as a healer or as a wizard or as a mage. And I think that kind of unites my characters in a nice way. So, we’re going to probably like it’ll that’ll be like a miniseries. I think we’ll do uh like a Hobs and Friends power leveling session. Uh, I think that’ll probably uh that’ll probably be sooner than later in all honesty because I kind of want to get that kicked off. Uh, won’t affect this series at all, I don’t think. But it should uh should get going and then once they’re once they’re high enough to not die, we’ll be able to use them in uh whatever. But I got to get everybody to 120 first just so it’s not, you know what, 117, you know, just lingering out here. They’re all like at 90% if they’re not 118 already. Most of them are already 118. And that’ll be uh that’ll be maybe just a grind video. Just I’m just not ready to do the uh the full, you know, start a start an expansion kind of thing, you know? It’s just like there’s more planning on that than you would really think because you got to do everything in a specific order, especially in the Burning Lands. That that was when’s been holding me up really cuz it’s not like after the Burning Lands, it changes. And Torment Develas is a good good example, right? You can go to any of these zones in any order and you can do these quests in any order you want, right? I could go do Spider Well, Crystal Caverns is an is an exception, but I could go to Eastern Waste and I can do these in any order, right? I’ve done this one like twice and it’s always failed when I try to solo it. Uh, but I think they fixed the bug. Uh, but for the most part, right, you can go to these and do them in any order. Now, in the Burning Lands, it’s not quite that. You have to do them in kind of this order, like the grieving soul and then this. Like, there’s a very specific order to unlock specific things. And it’s it’s I don’t know. I haven’t I’ve done it, you know, I’ve done it multiple times, but I’ve done it the first time I did it was kind of like a trial and error and figure out what I needed to do to get through it. And you can see here what is everything that he’s got checked off is what was the bare minimum required to get Jane’s Veil. And then here is like he’s on all the missions. So it’s kind of like you have to unlock missions to progress and each plane uh inside of expansion, right? like the traveler and all the like each of these requires different requirements and it was it’s it’s a bit much right so I’m uh you know I don’t want to like make a video and then like mess it up trying to you know it’s just nerves I guess get to me and then especially doing with six characters like trying to quest is just absolutely abhorently boring. Like I wish there was like a shared quests. That’s what is really like those are the best. I like that of those quests so much more because then you just have to focus on, you know, really just playing one character when you got support characters and everybody else gets credit without having to like go and turn in, you know, 10 of this and 10 of that. It’s just I don’t know. Carved wooden mask used for trade skills. All right. All right. Where are we at? Uh, I think we’ll jump off the bridge here and then we’ll go into the go into the mines. I think we’ve kind of exhausted this. I thought this would go slightly higher level, but uh, unfortunately it did not. And this guy’s light blue over here. So, let’s get him dotted up. Work my soul. Oh, and I found my uh shield of immaculate. It was in my bag. For some reason, it wasn’t in my key thing, so I knew I had one. That’s just a clicky uh cure disease. All right. Can’t hear off that. Uh let’s go through this tunnel over here. Definitely I feel like 60 is obtainable here. No problem. Might be a little slow if you don’t have the experience bonus, but I mean, what are we at? We just deemed, you know, 58 a few minutes ago. We’re already 60% in. So, it should should speed up a little bit when we hit 60. So, now when we hit 60, there’s going to be a lot of raids uh that we’re going to go back and do what we can. Uh, I’m going to do finagle and all this stuff now because I could have done finagle probably 50 no problem, but I didn’t have the net of the deep sea yet. So, it’s kind of one of those things. That is a nice build. Yeah. Gives us a quest. I think this is a hot zone, so it’s got different uh stuff here. Let’s just get all these guys together here. Can you come too? Thank you. Yes, you’re all lay blue. I mean, just get over here. Are you really a fight? Why Why would you attack him? Get over here. All right, get everybody snared and everybody dotted. Perfection. So, this this should give us a few a little bit of experience here. Let’s see. 3% per stuff’s light blue though. So this is this is getting kind of We’re going to have to like find something harder otherwise I’m going to get bored. Come on. All right. Uh, let’s go this way. But then let’s turn here and then go down. I think that might be might be harder. I don’t know. We got a slag trooper. These are all light blue. All right. If they don’t attack, we’re not going to we’re not going to waste our time with that. See here. This way. All right, we got a train. Perfect. And none of these none of these are the named. All right. There we go. Sweet. My night vision. My night reading glasses are ready. Apparently, I have uh I need a night glasses for night driving and night uh night reading because uh my LASIK is having issues with like lens flares. It’s like the most terrible thing in the world. So, they are ready to pick up this today, Thursday. Yeah, this is this is okay. It’s not perfect. We need we need higher level mobs and this is not feeling like that right over here. Wait, wait, wait. Is he even con? No. His friend like his friend didn’t want to join in. Jeez. I don’t even know where my pig went. That’ll do. Pig. That’ll do. I really wish the map like had uh shaded regions showing the level ranges and stuff like that. That would be fantastic. All right, what do we got here? Light blue. Absolutely blue. All right, we want to go I’m trying to go towards the king. I think that’s where I’m heading. I’m just going to pull like all this crap with me cuz they’re all light blue and they’re not going to kill me no matter what. Oh, there’s a blue. All right. Blue. Blue. No, we don’t want to go that way. We want to go up here. Blue. Oh, yeah. Do your job, Swine. Do your job. You’re just soloing these guys. Let’s kill them all right here again. It’s kind of funny, honestly. All right, what we need to do is tag every single one of these so that we can get all the experience here. I think we’re getting them all. The stuns are real, though. So, this kind of, you know, uh just how it is, I guess. But definitely, uh getting getting some progress made. I think we’re going to hit what 59 here in a few kills. Oh, wow. Critical drain spirit, 1166. Life leech 900. All right, we’re starting to get some damage. I like it. Let’s get this guy. He’s almost dead. 59. All right, just kind of switch target there for a second. Uh, we got fear resistance four improved bash. So now we can uh two-handed bash, unholy steed, leech touch, soul abrasion, double repost, spellcasting, reinforcement, mental clarity, natural durability, regeneration, and companions discipline. So that allows us to uh tell our pet to hold. I think uh that’ll be fantastic. So, let’s see here. If we code can purchase uh can activate leech touch is a new ability. We’ll put that right there next to that. That’ll that’ll give us that’s almost like it’s almost like a uh a lay on hands except more of a nuke. It’s kind of nice. There’s a guy behind us. And uh see here, let’s turn off that soul abrasion. The base damage of my triggered life taps and uh stuff will go up now. Perfect. Oh yeah, we got 118 proc the crit there. Very good. Very good indeed. What are we at? 15%. So, this is this is going quick. Hopefully, like there’s some yellow, not yellow. Um, even con ones, I think, is what we’re going to see. I don’t think we’re going to see anything better than that. Kind of wish I had tracking to kind of look on track and see what we got got around us, but perfect. And we’re out of mana. So, I think what I’ll do is I’ll take a little men break real quick and uh get some mana. Looks like we lost our mana off. Anyway, so need to get that going. And we lost clarity. All right. Looks like it’s going to be like blue blues and stuff until we find something harder here. See here. Oh, it’s my They sent a text, they sent an email, and they sent a voicemail saying that my glasses were ready. That is crazy. Has a lot of notifications. I hate notifications. I despise getting any kind of sound out of my phone. It’s just like I don’t know if anybody else is the same way, but I have uh I have ring cameras, right? And every time the wind blows and a tree moves, the damn thing like sends me, you know, motion detected stuff. And it’s just like this most annoying sound in the world. that my dogs have realized what it means and that there’s, you know, could be something on the property and they go insane. It sets off a chain reaction of hatred towards this stuff, right? And I don’t know, it’s just like annoying. There we go. All right. How close are we here? 45%. So that’s uh we’re going to get 60. And I got some new spells, right? I got to or terror of that new heal. Uh and that’s that’s about it. But we did get a new uh call of darkness, which gives us uh a mana regen. Plus, uh, I’m still using mental corruption, so those are pretty good. Uh, the Call of Darkness only lasts like 8 minutes or something like that. Uh, so it is terribly disappointing, but I don’t believe we have extended enhancement yet. So, see, and I’m not using I’m using spell haste right now as one of my tributes. I’m going to start going to start donating. I’m going to make I’m going to make Ngard the leader of this guild and then I’m going to start donating uh stuff to the guild so I can steal uh more tribute tribute buffs cuz that’ll be hilarious. I have like a ton of crap in the guild bank and I think I could donate most of that or just drop a million plat on it and call it a day. All right. Where are we at here? So, these guy these guys are blue. So, I’m good with that. Let’s get them. Now, this zone uh like we spend a lot of time in here on hops and friends in the new version that’s in uh Empires of Kunark. Every single one of those damn mobs spins you around and it’s it takes it takes a pleasurable zone and makes it annoyingly tedious when you get spinned around like that. It’s just like like I would spend more time there. Uh except for this every time you pull something you get spinned around like a total noob. It’s like funny. I think more people would spin there like but it makes it so you can’t really AoE pull because every pull it uh you know spins you right around like it’s like and I don’t even think you come to the right spot like when you come back around either like it’s not like a complete turn it’s like a like this you know it’s just like annoying I think if they remove that just increased damage on or something. I don’t know. Be significantly more pleasant. Oh man, look at all those corruptions. O, that was nice mana regen right there. Like, typically I go for the life tap once, but I I’m I’m think I’m going to go down the uh the mana line as as long as we need mana. I’m definitely enjoying it. Enjoying the extra mana and that is kind of nice because I’m, you know, we’re not needing health right now. Obviously, that’s only going to be a shortterm thing. You saw that, you know, we can’t just go to kill, you know, planes of power raid bosses with impunity, right? It’s there’s some kind of limit there. I just I think it’s it’s either Velus or Luckland raid bosses that we can, you know, skirt past and cheese. But I’m almost certain that the Velus raid bosses are going to hit for in the, you know, 1500s. So, uh, we’re still going to be taking 1,000 damage a hit. We only have 7,000 hit points, so that’s seven hits. So, we’re dead. healer. The merk healer is not going to heal fast enough and our life taps are not going to heal fast enough either. So, we’re going to need a lot of hit points um to be able to handle some of this stuff. So, I think instead like typically I go heroic dexterity uh for this. I think we’re going to go heroic stamina in all honesty. I think that’s going to be the smartest play is just stacking heroic stamina as much as we can, which will kind of actually work out pretty well cuz I do plan on making, you know, he’s going to be a shaman also. And that is what shamans use. So, there would be some some overlap on the type fives when we get to that point and stuff like that. So, that’ll obviously save me some currency. I I don’t know how much I have right now of all this stuff. Yeah, I got like 3,900 restless marks and stuff like that. So, it’s, you know, I got I got a lot. I think I give most of them all to Hobs anyway. So, he’s probably got a bunch on him. And I could sell back all the stuff I don’t use that’s in all my uh stuff. I think my necro uses heroic stamina also. So, it’s like, you know, it’s like a triple it’s a triple benefit. If you get if you get benefit more than once, it’s it’s fantastic. There we go. All right. That is blue. Light blue. Lay blue. Look at him. Dirt criminal. Dirt criminal. What is that even mean? Does that say dirt? Yeah, that says dirt. What the hell is a dirt criminal? Did you steal some dirt? I mean, are you just so low that the other goblins think you are a dirt criminal? I mean, there’s so many questions that could be asked. And there we go. There’s our mana. Oh man. Let’s pop this potion. But uh yeah, I always I always get I get bothered by the details of things like uh just like one of these weird. There’s always some kind of logistic that I I fixate on that doesn’t add up, you know what I mean? And uh like I was watching some show some show with my wife and uh I think it was like 90day Fiance, right? The the concept is you have 90 days to marry somebody in America on a uh on a special visa, right? It’s kind of I I when I first watched it, I thought it was like mail order brides kind of thing. Uh but it it seems, you know, like legit people like they, you know, they’re traveling and they meet somebody and they want to get married, right? But on the this last one we were watching, there’s this like throppple. It’s like three people that want to be married. Uh, and there’s more. I have so many questions and like they don’t ask any of the questions that that are like logistic questions, you know, like like personal logistic questions than a throppple, you know? It’s just like more questions than answers provided. And it’s just something I don’t know. It just I’m like what? like it just, you know, I I could ask questions all day long. I mean, these the interviewer people asking the interview questions, they’re just not they’re not hitting the right spots that the viewers want to see. At least at least me. Like, I don’t know if my wife had the same the same questions as I did. I was just like, logistically, how does this work? Like, and then, uh, you know, throughout the the season of the show, you learn more information and stuff like that. their their whole situation didn’t even make sense. Like as someone watching it, right? Like there there might must have been more and like you know the way the editing worked and stuff like that. It seemed like it was you know something just totally weird. There we go. Level 60. All right. So we got mystical 23 an extra buff slot in Prowace 7. So that’s more damage through our melee attacks. weapon affinity. Uh, which I’m going to double check before I say what I think it is. Weapon affinity. More procs. Yes. 60% chance to mortal proc. Uh, persistent casting and p power of the nest four. What the [\h__\h] is that? Power of the nest. There we go. Power of the nest four. Your devotion to the nest increases your total and maximum strength blah blah blah uh by 3% and your endurance. Okay, so that is that’s something from him being a heroic character I suppose uh on the other we’re up to 8,000 hit points. So I’m not going to complain there. All right, so let’s uh let’s level lock and uh kind of talk about the path for uh immediately after this. Uh, I’m going to make an attempt on Tracken and uh, I think we can do it. The biggest part about Tracken that is going to be hard is the spell damage that he’s going to be doing. It’s like a poison dot. Uh, I’m going to make sure that I have poison buffs from my uh, shaman before we go into this. Uh, just to have a little bit of extra protection there. But for the most part, I think uh we’re going to go pretty much as as we are. I’m just going to get a resist buff and maybe a hit point buff or two as we go into this. But uh there we go. Uh level 60. I’m feeling I’m feeling good. I got a whole week’s worth of videos planned for us at level 60. So, uh, expect multiple videos a day, I would say, because some of these are going to be short, some of these are going to be long. Some of the reads are longer because there’s more trash to kill. Some of them you just like swim into the ocean until you find a dragon. So, we’ll see how it goes. But, thank you very much for watching and please have a fantastic day.
