Could have done it much faster but I did a good 5 or so CS games just because it was a good way to learn the class I felt. It's nice to immediately get 60, already have 2 pieces of steadfast (weapon & chest) and boots/gloves of Agnitors (yeah sucks for now but good enough). Problem is...my jewelry blows ass and everything on the broker is very expensive at the moment. Guess I'll try my luck at Vault. Also hope some Zenith jewelry drops when I start doing those runs.
2x weekend is coming. So you have a very good chances to get some decent jewelry now. If not, you can always get at least 2 bg rings, they are 200 credits each. But I have a feeling you wont need those after 2x weekend, last time I had like 3-4 lines of jewelry on each char by the end 2x.
Funny because I did end up buying 2 BG rings and 2 BG earrings...that was before I saw the x2 drop announcement. Oh well, was only 800 credits total and I already had ~1500 from doing the daily + having fun in CS.
Problem with vault though is that I just joined a guild, so I'm still a cadet and iirc doesn't it take 2 weeks of being in a guild before you can move up to a member? You also can't enter 5 man vault until you are a member. (Unless they changed that?)
So, already up to a 160 item level Sorc. Finally getting the rotations down and how to do awesome dps. Was able to do Balders Temple Solo in ~6-7 minutes. (got a nice necklace from the final boss too) Also able to do 1 man Vault in about 3 minutes. Damn Sorcs are fast as shit.
I did die twice in Kezzel's Gorge though. Everything 1-shots you basically lol. Both times were during the final phase too (I blame lag on the first death) and the 2nd death was from a stomp that I swear I was far enough away...oh well. Prolly grabbing Steadfast gloves tomorrow when I get more Cyasmas too. Now since I have 3 60's you can really start to pile those on. Nom nom nom, need more loots!
ps. Is it bad I still have yet to do Wonderholme? I really need to get around to doing it on one of my 60s now (if not all 3 lol)
So I heard it's double drop weekend, and I still need to make some gold so I can pay back some people. I heard running queen is still the most profitable? Anyone got room in their party?

Only if you transfer to TR :p
Well my sorc is lvl 58 on mt but I got no gear and no time to level her up
Man, double drop is so great. 6 molten tokens per run, 3 zenith chests (so it's really like triple drop? lol)
Unfortunately, fuck my sister because she's forcing me to come down to her house and do a bunch of yard work tomorrow and sunday, which means I won't be around to keep running stuff. ughhhhhhhh!

All you need is 1k contribution points, which is like 3 days if you bother with alliance quests? Not sure, since I never do, vault daily is enough to maintain member rank. But you can't become a member during current cycle anyway, even if you'll get 1k+ points, so no 5m vault untill next exarch cycle (starting in 2 or 3, maybe 4 days, so if you want a member rank, do those quests to get 1k points).
And they fixed ui/chat lag yesterday, but there seems to be another problem with some backbone, so people whose route goes through that one (not sure, maybe it's above.net again) got terrible lags and packet loss.
And yeah, it's 3x drop indeed. Can't complain though, the more the better.
Too late. They realized it was 3x pretty fast (thanks to the people spamming global with "wtf I've got 3 zenith chests), so 1st they removed it (screwed some people who finished instances during that time) and now it's 2x as it should be.
Yeah, I got 6 tokens + 3 chests on my priest, 2 tokens + 1 chest on my zerker and 4 tokens + 2 chests on my sorc. I got the best of all worlds!
Makes me wish I wasn't busy today otherwise I could have got 18 token!
ps, BT solo was still triple drop as far as I could tell. I did 3 runs on my sorc (about 20 minutes total) and got like 32 shitty t13 epics but also got like 4 masterwork alk, 1 MES and 2 t14 epics, so pretty good for just 20 minutes.
Yeah, finally did WH yesterday...have to say the moving bridges and shit were kinda cool but I could definitely see those getting boring after multiple times. That Cannon boss with tons of ads was just fucking stupid. Maybe doing the part in the cave is more interesting but being on a cannon was boring as shit. Final boss was good though.
And I agree about mechanics in wh. It's fun during the 1st few runs, but then not so much. Like MC before, just much easier. I guess it's BHS's way to keep game somehow challenging, even if it's on very low level. I mean, there's not a huge choice if you aim for casuals mostly. Either you add lil things like that or you just make bosses with 10b health so it would take a while to finish instances.
Maybe the next update with instances will have some more challenging stuff. But who knows when it'll happen. Not soon that's for sure, even KTera doesn't have anything new yet.
1st we'll get an achievement system revamp (Treeshark promised achievemnt system in this year). Should be fun, new mounts, even lil bonuses like +0.3 damage to enraged monsters for completing sets of achievements etc. Then revamped alliance system. And some lil stuff like autumn event too. I actually got all festival achievement on all my chars. Wasn't sure what's needed for permanent carpet later, just 4 for 21 day one or all of them. Was so boring lol. But free permanent carpet mount is not bad, although it's a bit weird. But since it's free, who cares.
P.S. Got some steadfast gear for my alts. 35 mes to mw gloves, 25 to mw weapon... Easy to mw? Suuuuuuuuure. Wasn't that bad with some other stuff, but still. I'll seriously consider running whnm lots of times to get upgrading recipe just so I won't have to mw stuff again, even enchanting is not that bad. Maybe, just maybe, I'll try to get VM2 later on 1 of my chars, probably slayer. And mostly for the sake of achievement than actual purpose. But since I'm drowning in my alts, it's not happening anytime soon.

I am not quite motivated to make anything though. I feel that my vm1/mayhem weapons are sufficient... because the current PvE is simply way too easy.
Also there is no way in hell I can afford to buy 5 MoB.. that shit is expensive.
Yeah, makes sense I guess. Also it seems like it won't be that good upgrade for a healer anyway, seen someone did math on eme forums and new weapons are not that better than the old ones, if any (if compare mayhem or even regent to steadfast). Not sure about vm2 though, but I doubt there's a huge difference as well.
It probably will be only worth bothering if/when BHS will introduce next gear set. If there will be VM3, then it'll be worth it. But I doubt we'll see new gen equip untill late spring, if not more. Maybe we'll get something like mayhem 2.0 though. If I were BHS, I would simply rework KN raid for that. Cheap, easy and it will keep people busy. Now hardly anyone doing KNXX, because even necklace is not that good anymore since they nerfed fire proc on mc/wh bosses.
