    HI guys, i'm new to this game and i have some questions, please help :):)
    1/ why sets from normal bosses so weak? i'm lv35 sm and using Robust Norseland set from Sigri but it's so weak, it's stats even worst than an purple item even with full set
    2/ Does Adventurer chest ( the chest you can open at each 5lv) give you gold at lv40? I dont know how to farm gold effectively, i'm farming gold by selling stuff from sigri. It cost about 15 gold now to craft a legendary item, so expensive
    3/ What boss or area should i farm after lv36?
    4/ Is premium really useful? i can see three big advances : 100 ander each day, 1 big chest and chance to recieve mystic cube drop from monster. So, again, are those things ( big chest everyday, mystic cube ) make my playing process much faster?

    1) Uniques are, unlike most games, in DSO weaker than optimized legendaries! Its just the way, the game is designed!

    2) The what-chest? Goldfarming is best done at lvl 50 in Q3m1! As U grow stronger, U will realize that 15 gold is nothing! ;)

    3) U should go to the next town! (Ellonidos) And play the new quests and maps from there! NPC Captain Anne Ried located in southeast of Jarlshoff will take U to Ellonidos, once U hit lvl 35!

    4) I find premium very usefull! Free travel is nice, so is the cubes! But I would wait to open those cubes untill I hit lvl 50! (U get items from the cubes in what lvl Ur char is in, so its a really nice kickstart to gain a lotta items once U hit 50!)

    And if I were U, I would find a guild to play with! Good guilds will help U with runs and advice on charbuild! =o)

    Cheers!

    It is a new feature ... a reward from new quest.

    (1) Norseland set is not really par with regular uniques. These are comparable to extraordinary items.

    (2) Most people do not craft at lower levels. Wait till level 50 to craft. At lower levels, crafting is quite expensive.

    (3) After level 36 up until 45, when you are out of quests, the best place to farm is Gorga

    (4) In my personal opinion, No.

    Thunder Crest is better for me ^^

    Unless if you want glyphs, Gorga gives a lot of uniques

    I disagree. Gorga is effective only up to level 42.

    This is what I am doing in order to reduce the boss farming for XP:
    Start Gorga farming at level 37 or 38. I am doing only Gorga runs ... and keeping the quests for later. This way you can get more XP and level up faster ... since with every level above 40-41 you are getting less XP.
    When I get to level 40 I am doing the quests in Atlantis ... at level 40 it is much easier and faster .
    By the time you get to Andrakasch you should be level 42 ... you can take the quests from all maps until Stalgard.
    When you run out of quests you should be at almost level 43 ... you may need little farming until you get to level 43 ... but once you are level 43 you are getting new quests in Thunder Crest. At this point there are no more quests so you need to farm the commanders in the upper part of Thunder Crest ... they are the most efficient way for XP farm until level 44.
    Once you are level 44 you play only Stalgard. If you need more XP for level 45 you can farm Destructor at normal mode.
    Once you are level 45 you can enter Lor'Tac.

    Depends on the uniques. Some of the % based ones have way more potential than any legendary.

    You have not read my answer completely.
    I said, when you have ran out of quests.

    43, commanders from Thunder Crest? They give only 400 exp each. Meanwhile Gorga gives 4.2k exp.
    It is much easier and faster to kill one Gorga instead of 10 Commanders.

    Also, Gorga gives 6k exp through 42. Therefore, it doesn't matter whether you do quests at 38 or 42. Gorga up to 42 yield same amount of exp.

    You must be confused.
    Any monster at your or higher level is giving you 100% EXP.
    2 Levels lower = 90%
    3 Levels lower = 70%
    4 Levels lower = 30%
    5 Levels lower = 10%
    6+ Levels lower = 0%

    You must be playing in group and someone is higher level thus the penalty for playing in group and the higher level.
    When playing solo the EXP distribution is as described.

    Furthermore ... it is not the same when you level up quickly and gain more base hp and damage and then taking the quests at previous level(s) ... compared to playing at your or higher level maps when you are weaker.

    Yes, I may have failed to notice that it was only 5.6k instead of 6k at level 42. But still, when you are level 41 or lower, it is the same exp according to your chart.

    However, it is the same whether you do quests or kill Gorga. It is easier to kill Gorga at 42 than at 39, right?

    Yep, and one of the very rare Trakilaki videos.

    That is why I said:
    But ... the thing is you rise level much faster with that amount of XP at early stage where less XP is needed for the next level. Later you can only focus on quests ... and since you are higher level than the monsters at those maps (yet not high enough to get a penalty) you can do the quests faster and easier.
    I have done this (leveling a new character to level 44-45) countless of times in very short time. It is not a secret ... i said it in the past ... it was my main source for andermant farming. You can see that in the video ... the equipment is at very low level which indicates the progressing speed.
    As for the commanders and Thunder Crest map ... now when the XP have been increased it is even faster leveling. Last time i was farming XP there was 2 months ago when I was leveling my tank. I did it in couple of hours.

    Just to add to the conversation and the OP's question:
    Guild buff, group buff, XP buffs from the shop are stacking and are increasing the speed of leveling. On top of that if you have a premium it would be even greater addition ... but if you don't want to buy or can't buy premium it is OK even without it.

    Hello guys, i need help again
    I will level up to lv44 tomorrow and i want to try Destructor but i dont know if i can or not, here is my stats
    [​IMG]
    And, is destructor worth to farm ( for gold and exp)? how much exp it give?
    I have some mystic cubes, i think i will open all of it when i reach to lv45 because leveling to lv50 seem like so long.... should i?

    Destructor is time consuming, because of the whole tank ram process and the 4 generators that need to be destroyed.

    If you can, wait til level 50 to open the cubes, just in the off chance that you get some uniques. The mystic cube unique shield and gun might be useful for you at the beginning of level 50, and that shield might still have the improved steam regeneration line (I said might because it did at level 45, but it might have changed)

    Yes you can ... but don't expect super drop. In fact Destructor in hard mode is more rewarding ... but I don't think you can do it ... and it is not suited for farming because it is a slow process.
    But you can try the dragon outside ... next to Teleportarium's entrance.

    You can. With your current hp & armor you still can take 1 hit from the generator and the fly(whatever it is). So still can use potion and avoid to be hit twice.
    You also can take some hit from destructor gun. Just watch for his 360degree attack, unlike with gun he must stop and shoot, he can chase you with that 360degree attack.
    After the generator exploded. It will shot.
    For 2 generators on the right you might want to put the bomb on the right side to avoid the 1st shot. bottom side for generator on bottom-left, and top side for generator on top-left.
    Fight him near the entrance to save time to get the next bomb and the generator particles can not reach you.
    But the gold and xp not worth the time you spend. Better to clear stalgard map.
