I just dinged 70 and I never farmed anything. I just did the daily quests each day and then logged out. I only had like 18 advanced skill points and when they merged the servers and reset my EP I never bothered activating any of them again and it made no difference to my fighting as a Mystic. [ fighting as a Mystic, that's a laugh. What with not having any offensive skills that is ]

I also levelled 8 other chars past Apex and two of them to 66 and I noticed that it was much much faster now to get to 66.

I have never in my six years of playing ever grouped with anyone for a dungeon. Only dungeons I have done are on my own. I'm hardcore solo in every game I play.

I was kinda angry when they had the 70 event cus all those prior to the event had worked very hard to get to 70 and now like every player was 70. Its like they are giving them away now.

There aint anything to do at 70 anyway for a solo player. I asked in Global what I could do now I was 70 and the reply was farm skill advancement or fish. Given that I only got 18 AP all the way to 70 and never use Boomering which needs 60, what really is the point. So I'm just levelling another character casually and dumped my 70. Man did I laugh when I hit 70... all I got was two level 65 quests ( yes level 65 ) and a glyph for increasing the range on my exploding mana and health balls. Like I ever used that anyway. So after the drudge of daily quests every single day I got a big fat zero anyway and now have nothing to do. The game has been catering only for dungeons cus there is only dungeons in the game it sems after 65. The content it pittiful. Level 69 and you get a daily quest to catch three fish... must have taken them an age to think that one up. And at 68 pick ten flowers and smash crates. Every single day. [ sorry should have said spoiler alert ]

By the way to all those that commented on my posts before, yes I have now cancelled the Tera Club. Hardly seems worth it now. And I've moved on in truth. May dabble a bit but with so little to do as a solo player it just would be pointless paying and staying. Shame really cus it once was a very very fun game. Sadly 65 to 70 just isn't anything like a real game.

Have fun.

Quote from Keoland

As Warlord said, just do the flying Guardian Missions. They require no gear and your actions (shooting stuff from your mount) are exactly the same, regardless of your class.

I've even soloed some with a Tulpar (the flying mount you get for free), so you can get all the 4 mission chests in under one hour.

I have to eat a bit of humble pie here cus I was so angry at levelling up my gear thinking I would automatically be put in the Apex chain I came here and moaned and I should have waited a bit. I now have levelled three characters through the new system and whilst finding it tricky have now become more skilled at the various challenges. I have never done Guardian Missions cus I never felt I could contribute. I still don't think I contribute at like 0.7% but what I did discover is that just pea shooting at the targets fills my bar and I get the four required in no time at all. I did not enjoy them and still think they are pointless to me. I just can't do any damage.

As to Lilith and the horse.. man I hate that thing. Basically cus I spend most of my time running around waiting for the Wrath to come back up.... but I struggled and timed my runs and worked out that I do need to kill the adds first and then I get some clear space to do some damage. The spider thing is easy as is Lilith. Just wish they wouldn't bother with the silly animations of her attack. There isn't anything hard in any of the Apex quest. The dragons are just a waiting game as I wait for the Wrath. To kill a dragon I send in the Prot, dot him, freeze him send in the Wrath and like magic he is dead. That is the same with every single target in the game of a given health level. But if it evades the Wrath I am running around for 1.5 minutes or less. Like I say not hard just slow.

I have 8 chars now with Apex and one sitting ready to have another go. I will probably clear that character tomorrow. So starting to get to be an expert. I just wish that when they change things they would explain so I didn't waste all the mats upgrading the gear without the award scrolls you get for completing the quests. But I learn.... Its actually quite fun now the Apex quest line and enjoying it. So there you go.

This guy is a fcking troll

Why people even "help" him??

I'm not sure what your problem is but you come off as one of these people that just take swipes at folk to get some false sense of superiority. Trust me I have been playing games like these every day for like decades and I come across your type every so often. Fortunately your words mean nothing cus you actually say nothing. Bit of advice if you can't be constructive I would just shut up. Saves me having to respond to yourt pointless comments.

Quote from Amberlyn

holy shit. in the last threads u made ppl gave u plenty of tips how to deal damage and how to progress as a mystic. did u follow like even one io those tips yet? because i dont have the impression u do, otherwise you wouldnt struggle that much.

I have no idea what I can do to improve my skills. I play every day for hours and that is solo. I make no apology for that as I have been playing on and off since the beginning of 2013. I love Mystic and enjoy very much the style of play. Well did. Sadly with Apex I have but two major hitters, the Wrath and the Bouncy Castle. I have the Wrath glyphed as far as I can and still on 1.5 minute cooldown. I have no issue killing anything generally. Takes about ten seconds but then I wait 1.5 minutes to get the Wrath back. I could run around like a headless chicken for 1.5 minutes and pea shoot stuff till the Wrath comes back but whats the point.

The bouncy castle has no skill level as mobs will not play kind and stay in the circle. I try and hold but even if one escapes I still have to track it down. The Wrath is bonkers stupid as it hardly ever hits anything intentionally and will not hit anything that is flying or on an incline like say 45 degrees. It frustrates me the most. Worst is that if it doesn't complete the kill and you fire it up somewhere else it will simply wander off and try to find the mob it didn't kill. The Prot is useless. Like I say no problems killing stuff just need less than a 1.5 minute coold down.

The throwing balls at stuff is pointless. Have you tried killing the hyenas or goblins.. they just wont stand still and with limited holding skills I am always just running about. And the balls for me never do any damage. Ever.

The problem probably is my limited gear level and skill level as I do not do dungeons. Not interested. I am nearly 70 now and still plodding on. I do 2.7% xp per day and I will get there in 14 days. I do read what people say but sorry I tried everything but it don't work. The mystic is easy to play but slow on the cooldown.

I would suggest the publisher is making adjustments to game variables to either benefit themselves or compensate and aid the player. They can create an incentive to play depending on current demand for the game. I am sure they have a whole raft of variables they can tinker with. This maintenance was a way of compensating players with XP whilst at the same time initiating a couple of minor issues to the game. My understanding is that one of the mechs rewarding players was in fact taking XP away... and for that THE WHOLE player base, whether they were involved in dungeons/and or reward issue or not are going to be PENALISED. And the reason for that is POOR implementation of game variables which I would guess were adjusted by the publisher.

This afternoon I completed the whole of the Tria and Tralion post Apex story line and was just congratulating myself on getting to a stage where I can start the actual daily quests. And then this broke. I had not been involved in any of the events and yet I now have to start over and I have no idea if it is likely or not to happen again. And why... cus the Publisher is currently dealing with the matter not the designer. And its the weekend.

Two weeks ago an issue was flagged involved a failed event. Nothing was said until after the weekend. The whole player base were left stranded without even a word from anyone. And with everything else that has happened including the extended downtimes and loss of game time it really looks to me like a Publisher issue if only for the poor way matters are being conveyed to their users.

And one final thing. Maybe minor, but not as I pay for it, but my club mount was broken for months earlier this year and finally they fixed it. And now its broken again. I was doing my Apex run which was an instance and stuggled and killed the five dragons. And then fired up the mount.... BUSTED. So without thinking I relogged as I always do to find the instance reset. I had to start over. My fault I know but that is what I have to do just to start playing this game now. Log in and then immediately log out... just to use the mount. So when will that get fixed.... Months I guess. Never mind.

So you organise events that fail and then as way of compensation create more havoc and chaos and then expect patience from players in game when they are going to LOSE cus of you. We are just losing all the time from stuff like this. And seriously, if you aint got it right yet what are the chances of you ever getting it right. And why should players place any trust in you. What is the point of them doing anything now.

Quote from Phr3nic

didn't you quit? what happened to your lv 69 mystic? why would you fo another one if it feels that awful to you?

I decided to grin and bear the grind to 70 as I was paying the Tera club for the month and I just do the daily quests in the morning and I am currently 69.56

This is my daily log: percent done of 69 / percent completed for the day / estimate of days left to 69

16 Aug 19 - 12.43 [ 2.75 or 32 days ]

17 Aug 19 - 15.40 [ 2.97 or 29 days ]

18 Aug 19 - 18.10 [ 2.70 or 30 days ] Sun

19 Aug 19 - 20.92 [ 2.82 or 28 days ] Mon

20 Aug 19 - 23.81 [ 2.89 or 27 days ] Tue

21 Aug 19 - 26.67 [ 2.86 or 26 days ] Wed

Server merged

23 Aug 19 - 29.68 [ 3.01 or 23.36 days ] Fri

24 Aug 19 - 32.55 [ 2.87 or 24 days ] Sat

25 Aug 19 - 35.45 [ 2.90 or 23 days ] Sun in a week 17.35 (2.47)

26 Aug 19 - 38.25 [ 2.80 or 22 days ] Mon

27 Aug 19 - 41.00 [ 2.75 or 21.5 days ] Tue

28 Aug 19 - 43.84 [ 2.84 or 20 days ] Wed

100 - 43.84 = 56.16% of Level 69. As you can see I get around 2.7% per day with 20 days left.

In my spare time I have levelled two more Mystics. One to 66 and this one to 65. But I can't get past this new quest system so I will delete the character and start from 1 again. Just till my sub runs out. I can't get into Classic at the mo anyway cus of queues.

PS I love Mystic, or did. Was truly wonderful until 65 then it just goes down the drain. It did use to be fun doing the Apex quest chain but I can't get to that now. Only takes a day or so to get to 65.

I was doing all these Guardian things all day and getting nowhere cus I am a Mystic level 65 no Apex skills and feather duster popping level 68 BAMS. Anyway what I hadn't noticed was there is a claim button on the end of that bar. I now have four rewards but have had to give up and ditch the character, probably delete it to be honest. I have another 69 and a 66 so thats that.

Just that they changed the Apex quest thing so you are FORCED to do these purple quests. The next one wants me to do Lilith solo as a Mystic at 65 with zero fire power. I can't even get past the horse. I just run around and around waiting for the Wrath then get swamped with fire elementals and die. I am hopeless. Strange thing is I can do the Apex quest line no problem. But I can't do the horse in Lilith till I get Apex.

I have no idea how many more of these purple quests there are but having levelled my gear to the required level and then not got the Velika quest I guess that is that then. Saves me having to struggle with level 65 to 70. I will recycle the character and level from 1 to 65 when I'm bored and forget this nonsense. Basically cus I can't so it anyway. Seems they are dead set on making it as hard as possible to get from 65 to 70. As if it wasn't hard enough.

Sad really deleting a character but I gotta play something for my money.

Hi

Please help if you can. I am begging you. I levelled a character to 65 yesterday and started the NEW quest chain you get marked in purple that I trust leads to the banquet quest. Previously I would do the Isle quests and upgrade gear and then at the Guardian Quest thing I would simply enchant the gear to 439

and then get the quest for the Apex skills..... Didn't happen.

All I got is this purple quest to go help Launa and her annoying Guardian Quest. I say annoying cus I am a Mystic, level 65 without Apex and I am dropped in Bleak Rock watching snow. So having never done Guardian Mission I just click a few of those symbols, enter a fight with Level 69s and die over and over and over. I manage 8% contribution and get nothing. Eventually after a day of running around and getting my backside smacked to death I have gotten one Vanguard Reward but no Guardian Mission quest rewards. And there is never one in Bleak Rock.

I have hit a dead end. I have no idea how I am to do a Guardian Quets Reward. I have no idea why they got rid of the item level Apex quest line. I am totally baffled as to how I now progress. I used up all my mats upgrading my gear to 439 and it was pointless.

One other thing and that is the original quest you get now at 65 gives absolutely no information on where you are to go. It gives a map but makes no reference to the Echo dungeon. Its sad really cus I have seen player after player just standing around in Bleak Rock today and we are all lost as to what to do. Who ever changed this has made it so hard for anyone to get past 65. I mean for a new player there is absolutely zero information on what a Guardian quest is. What level you are supposed to do which ones. How often they start and what exactly you are supposed to do to get a reward.

I don't want to do Guardian Quests THEY DON'T GIVE ANY XP. You only start getting XP once you get APEX. This is bonkers. Or seems so.

Anyway hope I missed something. I am seriously sick of running around and getting no where today. Why they changed it I will never know. The lady that you meet at 65 just says get to gear level 439 which is what I did. Useless bit of information that turned out to be.

The official guide says 1: Level to 65 2: Enchant gear to 439 3: Accept Velika quest 4: Do the chain

I did the first two but the third didn't happen. So what do I do ?

Thanks

OK so we spent MONTHS getting the club mount to work again and now its BUSTED YET AGAIN. All day yesterday folk were complaining. And so each and every day EVERY DAY I have to put my store mount on my task bar and then LOG OUT and back in to make it work. Do these guys even test their stuff. It really is pittiful and shows the game to be in a state of shambles. So like I have activated all my stuff for the day to start my daily and the first time I try to use the mount IT DOESN'T WORK AT ALL.... AT ALL. I have to log out and then start ALL OVER. Its pathetic. PATHETIC and its been a problem all year.

I was in my instanced quest area with Sier and I worry now where I will be when the lights come back on.

So I have been struggling for months ' MONTHS' levelling my Mystic with micky mouse spells on long cool downs and today as I ventured for the first time at Level 69 into Sienna Canyon to yet again start the daily grind I just finally had enough.

As a Mystic I have but one spell of worth. Trust me. It is the Wrath. Sadly on 2 min 30 sec cool down. I do have the bouncy castle [ Doom ] but thats on 10 minute cool down. The rest of what I have is useless. You can chuck as many balls as you like at these Trihorns ... or anything else, hyenas [ laugh ] and unless they come with sticky back plastic they are worthless.

Usual routine I send out the poor Prot who is useless at anything that flies, runs around, jumps, moves. They just have him for dinner. So a flying dragon is a problem. I then dot with what pittiful spells I have such as curses and contag' and then lock and fire up the Wrath and fingers crossed..... CUS if the dragon moves, flies into the air, bolts and or even moves onto a level ever so slightly at an angle the Wrath will miss the thing or jump somewhere else or even just turn round and look at me gormless. By now the prot is dead and the Wrath may even disengage all together. Its a crap shoot... throw your dice and see what you get.

And then the Wrath vanishes and I am left trying to kill a dragon with my feather duster ... Smite and Blast. And even now as I pile in trying to kill the thing my mana just bleeds dry. I cannot use my chains without it being bled dry. Even with my everlasting topped up.

It is not that I can't kill the things. I never die. I can fire up the prot and maybe hold on for the Wrath again. Sometimes he is efficient and does what he is supposed to. Maybe I get lucky.... BUT after millions and millions and millions of XP won from killing every BAM in the game and struggling with Murderwings every day for ages... I now face 40,955,603,542 XP of this nonsense every day. They couldn't even bother to remove the scorpions from the area that are phased out but still tag you in combat... but YOU CAN'T SEE THEM. The process puts me in slow mo... and is a pain.

Just that I can't face fighting stuff with trash skills that are on massive cool downs with no other spells that will do any damage. The Wrath and the bouncy castle are Tera's answer to Donald Duck. So when the Wrath again vanishes half way through the fight having yet again missed the target cus it went up in the air and then turned and faced and did 'FA' I gave up. I ran from the area and gave up the quest. I shall not return until I am gifted a skill that can actually do SOME DAMAGE in a skillful way. The Mystic is blessed with 'NO' skill based damage attacks. Everything relies on pure luck. The Wrath is a right angle random attacker. And if the mob is not on a flat plane at right angles to him he will miss... every time. Worse is if he senses the mob is not there he will disengage.

Who designs a LORD spell that relies on a static mob that when you fire it up causes the Prot to disengage and run out of the circle just to be followed by the mob. And I can do nothing cus of the moronic animation.

Anyway I made it to 69 and that is where it ends. I seriously can't be doing this anymore. The class did use to be quite fun to play. But four levels of this flower picking, warthog chasing, murderwing jumping and now Dracecloth feather duster swatting has finally broken me. The game feels so badly created and tested in terms of the class when trying to do the simple things of fight stuff. I have to always abandon the Hyena quest in Sienna. Did the creators even ever try killing moving mobs with a Thrall that just zonks all over the place and you cannot hold anything long enough to do any damage and you then have to WAIT... the eternal WAITING. Trust me I can kill anything. I never die. But to do any damage I am always waiting and or watching the joke running around of a prot thrall that is useless.

I am sure that in a dungeon these things work very well when you have a tank holding the target and you are fixed on healing. BUT the mystic is useless to me doing daily quests. I just cannot be bothered anymore with joke skills and long wait times. I cannot waste any more time on this stuff. Its just brainless. So I hung up my sceptor and I am going back to my old game. I may come back if I get an upgraded Smite and Blast and better mana control so I can actually fight once more. Sad but it had to end sometime.. the game is just bonkers to me. I struggled but it finally broke me.

I was just curious cus if there is nothing to do at 70 anyway I may as well not bother with 69 to 70 and maybe spend less time but just upgrade my gear. I get no gold from quests. And my daily routine takes over two hours to complete. And I am sick of it to be honest. I can't wait to get to 69 so I can stop for a while.

Hi

Just out of interest what is the general view of how long it takes to get from 65 to 70? Also what is the most efficient class at getting from 65 to 70 and what item gear level do you think a player should be at Level 70 on hitting cap and why ?

Is there much in the way of content at 70 ?

Quote from BeeDeeX

Did the leveling process changed since last patch? I can't seem to find any information in the patch notes...

I seem too not get relic weapons anymore doing dungeons and I am now level 39 with a level 12 weapon...

My friend notes that at level 60 you do no longer get the storyline quest too do the skycruiser etc, how are you supposed too level 60-65 now?

When you complete A NEW THREAT you are asked to go visit Sier and then do battle in his chambers. You are advised of The New Threat and given the teleport scroll that takes you to the Outskirts of Velika for the quest Supplies and Demand which takes you onto the SkyCruiser I assume as I've done this over half a dozen times. I am currently 60.5 and using a level 58 NightSpindle weapon. Took me about a day and a half of play inbetween playing my main 68.6. The scroll you get is the Airport Platform Teleport Scroll.... OK I'm collecting Emberbloom Flowers.. so I need to get on. Seems no problem but hey. Onward to 65.

FINAL UPDATE

OK took me two days to get to 65 and then I was gifted nominal weapons and gear which I upgraded and got to item level 433. Sadly I didn't get the second post of stuff that I got with my previous characters. I have just the one quest which is Island of Dawn but that pays no XP so I won't be doing that. I have been asked to do a dungeon quest which I will pass on also. So I am standing in Highwatch with nothing to do and no quests in the log. There are a couple of event quests but really not interested. So that was that 1 to 65 in 2 days and then nothing to do, or so it appears. I did the Echoes dungeon but it bugged out again as it always seems to. Pretty pointless also. Nothing even makes a dent in the XP... as I am too well familiar.

So I shelved the character and will again focus on my Level 68.6 and carry on with my 2% each day on the XP bar and just mind numbing boring daily stuff. Never mind. 1 to 65 was a hoot and a half. Everything from that point is so dreary. What is worse is that my Mystic was actually able to do real damage up to 65 and then it just dies... sad that. Tera is really a game for 1 to 65 if you like the actual open world content and a good story. After that its just daily stuff and dungeons. Such a shame.

So I did the new levelling process and it kinda feels like playing a computer game on cheat mode. You just zonk through the story quests avoiding any yellow quests. You get weapons and gear suited to your level and it was real easy. Mobs just fell over in dungeons, wasn't even worth the effort. The path is pretty linear and for the most part like I say like watching a film on fast motion. And then reality strikes as you hit the brick wall of 65, cus there is like zero continuity. In truth it just is so blunt it makes you simply stop dead in your tracks. Specially if you are still struggling levelling another character at 68 like me. Cus you know what's coming.

Anywhooo thats it.

Quote from Moler

I'm not in the mood of writing a long post in order to have it deleted again by mods trying to hide the truth.

NO, its not worth coming back.

Game's pretty dead, playerbase is just made up of a few nolifers/people playing like it's a religion, LFG/Queue is dead, PvP is dead AND completely unbalanced, etc.

Oh come on.. you know you love the game.

Like the cat by the way. Chillin'

Quote from Vanquished

Been leveling a Valk and I'll soon be 65 still with the old level 38 avatar weapon.

Amazing new player experience BTW

Two questions come to mind. First is if you are a new player how do you have an old avatar weapon. And second, why are you using a Level 38 weapon any way. You get new weapons chucked at you all the time if you do the story quests.

I got to 54 in a day yesterday with a new char and my weapon gifted me thro the game is close on that level. Maybe you like using old weapons dunno. Only takes a couple of days to get to 65. Its the 65-70 thats the pain. But hey you get a good weapon at 65 .. I would avoid trying to use the 38 on 65+ mobs. Pretty pointless.

What I would suggest is doing the current levelling process using just the story based quests that give XP and speed through it taking in the sights and many of the characters. There are some quite wonderful places in Tera and so too some very colourful characters. The speed run that is the current levelling process using just story quests will also give yo access to solo dungeons and let you tip toe into the world of Tera.

Now here is the rub. They have changed the levelling process so that zone quests reward no XP. So as you do general yellow marker quests you will not level up. This may suit if you mix in also the story based quests but time your quests as they level very quickly.

For me I have always loved the story based questing albeit it has also been hacked around quite a bit. I enjoy the exploring so much. There are some crazy places in game, like the stepping stones into the sky ... that's a bit of a challenge for you.

The characters are very interesting and they carry some great story lines. The four basic centres of activity if you include the level 60-65 zones are quite different in truth. The first three more different than the last. But I have to say the story from 60 to 65 was for me the most touching and it played out very well. Bit sad in the end... spoiler.

The game also use to have a lot more variety of gear and armour from the game itself and you were able to copy and mimic clothing using an NPC but they removed that facility from the game. Dunno how you could pick up odd gear now as it looks like they have simplified things. The lighting and variation in colour schemes can also make for some interesting locations. Also the open world instanced areas which are quite massive are always fun to explore and to challenge. Though, again they carry for the most part no XP now.

Personally I rate Tera very highly and I think it is one of the most beautiful games ever made. The essence of what it was still exists but sadly its kinda struggled through failing numbers, and so they have done what most MMOs have done and diluted the game. WoW is no different, they have seriously crippled that game with scaling. None of that here.

Its a difficult shout but the story and characters are still pretty unique to Tera. It tends to hold water generally, with a little tongue in cheek. I'd give it a go. Most MMOs are pretty dross at the moment, some worse than others. For me having played most, I return to Tera every so often and have a go again. I levelled a character to 54 just in a day pretty much, so what you got to lose.

EDIT: Got to 33 and realised just how much they have removed from the game. Should have read the patch notes. My bad. Back tomorrow after the Level 68 daily run.

OK so yesterday I started another character when I wasn't playing my main 68 and today I picked up the char again and just got to Level 41. Thing is that now you only do story quests as they are the only quests that give XP for levelling. Bit of a shocker that I found out at 30. So I totally ignore all the yellow quests and just stick with the red.

Following story quests gifts you weapons. You also pick up relic fragments that let you enchant your weapon. You also get gear suited to your level so you never like struggle. Also to progress stories you have to do dungeons solo. I just completed Cultist Refuge and picked up two Level 38 Mageia Sceptors. So you do get weapons but not the ones that you had to assemble from relic fragments that you collected previously.

The game has made questing in zones pretty pointless. Unless you want some gold and other stuff. But no XP. Also gear follows a simple level format. I noticed from gear I had in the bank from previous chars the stats for the green stuff is better than supposedly higher grade previous gear. There are extra stats.

Levelling XP is bonkers. I just went through two levels in Cultist and its not uncommon to do a whole level from handing in a single quest. Trouble is that the game is a linear bore fest now cus you have pretty much no control over the way you level. Dunno why they don't just make it into an AFK fishing process. Feels like that. Way to go destroying the game. Was quite an eye opener when I discovered I wasn't getting any XP from general quests. I wonder how many players are blindly questing thinking they are earning XP and not realising the XP bar isn't moving. I did the whole of the Celestail Hills chain quest and then clocked the XP bar didn't move when I handed in the final quest.

Anyway, hope that answers your question. My guess is that you have to be on the solo red quest to get the gear drop from dungeons. As to that last point about the skyquest thingy you would probably need to have completed all the quests before to unlock the quest so maybe they have to go back a few quests and finish them off. Dunno.

Be mindful that there isn't really any content outside of dungeons beyond level 65. The total each day of the handful of daily quests that you get give around 2 to 3 % of XP for each of the XP bars up to 70 so just divide 100% by that and you will get an idea of how long it takes to do each level just on daily quests. Bonkers long. There is like about 8% story quest per level which drains away as you get to 70. You can see they lost interest in questing. There really are no new zones to play. So I'm guessing everyone does the dungeon route. Given they didn't add any new zones, they simply revamped a few of the existing and rubber stamped mobs all over the place. And its a real grind. You can try grinding but its just so painfully slow.

You can always AFK fishing. That seems popular.

There are some gear changes on the horizon which have annoyed folk so you may want to read up on that. I don't do gear so can't comment. The game is so alt unfriendly now. For me I can't see me ever playing an alt again so you should be mindful of which character you choose to play. Saved me money I guess buying stuff, which is their loss. I made a big mistake levelling my Mystic I tried a new char the end of April and here I am in July and still level 68 and a half. Will differ for others but if you want to speed kill stuff I'd get something that can do millions and millions of damage given that the XP required to level is in the billions. A quest rewards like 30-40 million and the bar doesn't even move. You can forget all stuff below 65 its just not worth it.

So is it worth coming back ? Dunno. I'm just doing daily stuff while I watch YouTube and surf the web as I wait for my cooldowns on the only two weapons I have that do any damage. I get my 2% XP each day do a bit of fishing and the usual 'sup in Velika to everyone then go play something fun. I am determined to get to 70. My bad for not liking dungeons, well healing actually. But hey. Go dungeon and no doubt you will have a hoot.
