[18:33:46] anyone home? ec\ ELLIOTTCABLE JJMC89|Away [18:34:01] what item should i take from 10th anniversary as a cleric? [18:34:05] eitsch: eya [18:34:08] \o/ [18:34:11] 'zup [18:34:14] eitsch: eya [18:34:48] nice that not everyone idles around! [18:35:26] like i said: i have no idea what to take as i am a really lousy and seldom playing type ... [18:35:43] but twitter reminded me thankfully not to let my token go to waste [18:35:56] eitsch: Oh, missed that. I don't know anything about anything, I don't actually play the game. [18:36:18] aww, ok thank you for replying then! :P [18:36:22] at least you are alive [18:36:23] (I'm the original founder of the wiki, but I never had anything to do with the game. I'm only in here so the current admins can reach me if they need something.) [18:36:34] heh, that is funny [18:36:51] you founded ddowiki but have nothing to do with it? :) [18:37:18] Not anymore, no. (= [18:37:25] ah so you are more of the techy guy i suppose [18:37:44] like keeping it running and being available when someone has something up [18:37:58] what do i care..., sorry for inquiring [18:38:02] Oh, with the game? I founded a wiki-network for gaming when I was young; ddowiki was one of the member-sites I created. It's one of only two that are still active, afaik. [18:38:31] ok one more if you dont mind ... as you actually make me curious [18:38:42] ahahah sure [18:39:22] wiki-network? a) are these generation revenue? like ... more than needed to keep it running and b) how much traffic do these wiki's produce [18:40:00] eitsch: Quite a bit of traffic, but I opted to never put ads or anything. I ran it out-of-pocket. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ [18:40:02] besides of these thoughts: props for having had this marvellous idea! as ddowiki really is a great resource of info [18:40:31] I'm no longer responsible for the hosting or anything else, mind you, DDOwiki is its own entity nowadays. (I think Xevo still hosts it? Maybe?) [18:40:48] that IS generous. i cannot see the difference if ads are in as i adblock anyways ;) [18:41:52] uh i am totally unaware of mostly anything concerning ddowiki. as it happens i just stumbled upon this chan in hopes to find it stacked with players being able to supply me with tips what to take for the reward :DDD [18:43:29] instead i found you. which is also nice :) ... as you are a person which replies in whole sentences ... and stuff. thank you for your time and ... maybe we'll meet again ELLIOTTCABLE *waves, turns around and goes somewhere else* :) [18:43:55] eitsch: lmao [18:44:23] I don't know of any active DDO chat rooms, I'm sorry. Ask on the wiki's talk-pages? There might be a Village Pump or something like that [18:44:32] o7 ! [18:44:42] ty! [18:44:57] hm [18:45:02] leave did not really work [18:45:22] and now JJMC89 is woken up [18:45:36] maybe JJMC89 has a tip for me what to take as a reward? [18:46:40] 07eitsch01: That would depend on your playstyle [18:46:43] i am currently looking into the rewards one after the other at http://ddowiki.com/page/10th_Anniversary#Freebie for my cleric. [18:47:41] actually my playstyle can be described as: made a char some years ago, played a bit and then slumbered. (now twitter woke me up with reminding me not letting go my 10th anniv. token go to waste) [18:48:21] so i am thinking about playing some more ... or starting over ... and am scrolling through the rewards [18:48:39] Is it a caster, melee, or healer? [18:50:02] oh, now i see. i am soloing him so it is a bit of both healer and melee ... but i have no sword skills as of yet, running around with maces [18:51:51] may i humbly suggest not putting too much energy into it, i feel that i might also just scroll through all 40 items and just pick some which feel alright. dont want to bother you with my "unknowing" attitude [18:51:59] Do you want something you can use now or soon? If so what level? Or would you prefer something more useful in epics? [18:52:04] Its no trouble [18:52:13] ok, thank you in advance then :) [18:52:17] hmm [18:54:04] if i may: i am running a different idea through my mind. i have bought the expansions in the new-year-special offer. so i guess there was some token that allows me to create a char which is of high level? could i use this? or shouldn't i use this because i am denying me stuff? [18:54:52] as a short answer to your original question: my cleric is lvl 7 so i am guessing most items are out of using directly. so if there is something nice which will support me in the future, that will do well! [18:55:40] You're talking about Iconics (http://ddowiki.com/page/Iconic_Heroes) which start at lvl 15 [18:57:20] You can always go back and play lower level content (without getting XP) on them if you want. I've played a mix of regular and Iconic characters depending on the content I do or don't want to play. [18:59:02] oh ok, that is nice [18:59:51] so i could e.g. start a Shadar-kai Assassin to have a moderate thief and grab me a nice item from the rewards to have a nice start with a higher level. [19:01:01] Yes [19:02:38] would i be able to directly reach the npc where i trade the token in? [19:02:53] or would i need to run through some tutorial stuff? [19:02:55] If you play a rogue with Thief-Acrobat (http://ddowiki.com/page/Thief-Acrobat_enhancements), I’m a fan of http://ddowiki.com/page/Item:Sireth,_Spear_of_the_Sky [19:04:23] There might be an optional tutorial, but you just need to take your levels or defer taking them (you then just level at any trainer as normal). [19:05:19] nice! so as i am currently having 2 chars i can fill up the left (2?) slots with fresh chars, defer the leveling and give the a nice gift when leveling up? \o/ [19:05:26] http://ddowiki.com/page/Item:Needle,_Quill-slinger is also nice for a repeater rogue [19:05:54] yay, then i also create a one-off just to get me the ice-thing-robe :) http://ddowiki.com/page/Item:Robe_of_Winter_Ice its account bound [19:06:52] If you have access to the shared bank, yes you can do that and pass it to someone else and delete the toon. [19:07:07] concerning the spear: is it viable (it must be as you are mentioning it) to use a 2handed weapon as a rogue? [19:07:28] i think i have spent some coin to have one shared bank sheet [19:07:54] i guess i will start trying it out right now. :) [19:08:10] will be staying here for a while while playing around [19:09:03] Thief-Acrobat (http://ddowiki.com/page/Thief-Acrobat_enhancements) is all about staffs [19:09:15] I played one a while ago and really enjoyed it [19:11:18] You don't attack as fast as with two weapons but the Followthrough, Thief Acrobatics, and Quick Strike boost your attack speed with staffs [19:14:04] oh that sounds interesting. i like the idea of a halfling with a double-its-size-staff jumping and poking like a monk. would it be viable for this Shadar-kai Assassin class? or should i start a fresh one? [19:16:49] There's no reason you can't play as Shadar-kai [19:19:31] i just checked and saw that i have the shared bank account. i will create a one off to get the robe first :) [19:23:55] JJMC89: on the starting barge i can start as up to level 7 (with a normal char, vet 2) ... do i have to "default" take these levels there on the barge and only assign the skillpoints later or can i directly go to a town and defer the complete leveling up until later? [19:24:54] I think with vet status you have to take the levels. [19:27:16] excuse me asking useless questions :) i think this is one of the easiest to find out by myself with just 2 minutes of trying around with a spank new char. will give it a try! [19:32:27] No worries FYI: I don't know how active it is but there is a #DDO channel on the sorcery.net IRC (see http://ddowiki.com/page/DDO_wiki:IRC) and there is a channel on Discord but I don't know that name or how active it is. ShoeMaker should know. [ec is usually the only one in this channel most of the time.] [19:34:28] Freenode > * [19:34:32] ;) [19:35:46] I don't venture to sorcery often. Other channels I join are here [19:57:06] :) i have dabbled with discord just an hour ago ... it is also rather empty there, it also wanted me to linger 5 minutes around until i first would be able to write anything. and then the timer displayed 00:00:00 without any change. maybe palemoon is not the browser they were looking for ;) [19:57:24] JJMC89: fyi: you are right, i have to level the veteran levels on the ship [19:57:48] i also now am the proud owner of already three of these accound bound "beauty-clothings" [19:58:13] now i will scourge the 40 items if there might be something else account bound (not charbound) :) [19:59:08] hmm: lets try this one out :P http://ddowiki.com/page/Item:Hellfire_Crossbow [20:01:30] I think most of the items are BtC [20:04:41] yay got me that crossbow (ofc it is only lvl 4 item, but nevertheless a nice toy for a different starter char) .. lets see if i find one more :) [20:07:30] this is the other one which is accountbound: http://ddowiki.com/page/Item:Quorforged_Docent_of_Battle [20:07:48] no [20:12:01] the docent is also charbound
