Back On Track
Instances are back, the loadout switched to Warrior / Druid / Bard at 10, and Befallen goes from a grind to a walk. The scythe drops on the very first kill of the named that carries it, Improved Bash comes online, and level 12 becomes 15.
The episode where the build starts working. Instances came back, the loadout switched at 10 to Warrior / Druid / Bard, and Befallen stopped being a fight. The scythe dropped on the very first kill of the named that carries it, Improved Bash went in, and the character walked from 12 to 15 while barely paying attention. Druid is the reason, and the surprise of the series so far.
The Loadout Swap
What changed at 10.
- Warrior primary, Druid, Bard. The swap itself is mostly UI work, so budget time for rebuilding bars rather than for the mechanics.
- Druid is the standout. A hill giant died to this character at level 12, kited, without much drama.
- Unbound Nature lets every Druid spell crit, which reads as overpowered for an auto-granted passive.
- Stinging Swarm is the workhorse dot, and Sprouting Heal is a heal over time with no downside, ticking 31 and finishing with a 100 point heal.
- Bard songs are all auto-granted, so there is no spell shopping for that third slot.
Do not buy spells on faith. Almost everything the wiki listed as auto-granted was wrong in one direction or the other, so nothing got purchased this session.
Loot Off the First Kill
Better luck than deserved.
- The scythe dropped on the very first kill of the named that carries it, which effectively sets the weapon slot for a long while.
- Merged to plus four using motes, and the clicky came along with it.
- The burn effect cannot be removed, but the drum can, and 20 damage versus 14 is not the point next to the raw weapon upgrade.
- New Sebilisian Expedition gave up a burnt sheer blade, a smoldering robe merged to plus four, a two-handed blunt, and frayed silk slippers with wisdom on them.
- Elf skeletons drop mallet pieces, which feed the Shadowknight weapon with Promise of Renewal. Keep them.
Improved Bash
Six AA well spent.
- Bash was hitting for 1 with nothing valid equipped, which is exactly what the patch note described.
- With Improved Bash, it reads the best AC item among weapons and shields across primary, secondary, and any slots.
- Bash climbed to 8, then 11, then 22 by 15.
- The long term target is the Warrior sky one-hander at plus 10, which is 40 AC, plus a Blade Stopper parked in an any slot.
The Befallen Hustle
The loop, once it clicks.
- Walk the first floor in a circuit, crouch constantly if you are big, and kill what is in front of you.
- Stances do the work: offensive to kill, recovery to get mana back, defensive when a room goes wrong. Inversion for faster casting, empower for more dot damage, balanced for endurance regen.
- Stay under 40% health on purpose. Sprouting Heal is weak enough to keep you there, which is where crippling blows live.
- Difficulty 1 over difficulty 0. On D0 things run, and wisps are 100% magic resistant so you cannot snare them.
- Turn on persistent auto attack and hostile-spell-triggers-attack in the options. Persistent auto attack turns out not to work, which takes two more episodes to notice.
- Send bone chips to the trade skill depot. Two per bone mob, and they matter for faction later.
- Snare the casters before they get low. The one guarding the dispel stick chain heals herself, and at 14 she is roughly 11 levels up, so she is a long fight rather than a hard one.
Numbers by 14: slashing for 108, cleaving two mobs for 52 and 46, criticals at 133 and 189, and about 3 to 4% experience a kill.
Experience, Honestly
It feels slower than it reads.
- 5% for a red and 4% for a level 20 at level 14 does not feel proportionate to the risk.
- D0 experience feels weak, which is part of why difficulty 1 is the better default.
- The AA potion is doing a lot of lifting. Doubled AA gain makes the two-point AAs feel free.
- Every complaint about experience gets the opposite complaint back, so judge it yourself when you hit your second and third loadouts.
Level 15 Unlocks
A good level.
- Ring of Surefall Glade, which is the ticket to Blackburrow next episode.
- Double Attack and Block, both passive.
- Tracking, worth putting on a multibind immediately.
- The Bard mez, and Repose.
- Levitate came at 14, and was the only thing that level.
Two Complaints
Both about the screen.
- Floating combat text is rendered in world space, so it is unreadable the moment the camera is anywhere but level. It has needed to be screen space since private beta.
- Skill up spam drowns everything else and has no obvious filter.
- Sprouting Heal's recast is longer than its duration, which never feels right.
The Working Build at 15
- Warrior / Druid / Bard. Warrior to tank it, Druid for the heals and crits, Bard for the passive songs.
- Run difficulty 1, so nothing runs and you never need snare on trash.
- Stinging Swarm on the target, Sprouting Heal on yourself, then cleave between heals.
- Stay under 40% health for crippling blows.
- Improved Bash as soon as you can afford six AA.
- Do not buy spells the wiki says are auto-granted. Check in game first.
- Keep mallet pieces and bone chips.
- At 15, take Ring of Surefall Glade and go get the shrink shoulders.

Hello and welcome to my legendary adventures in Norrath. Today we’re in Befallen. So, I got to level 12 in between crashes. I have not crashed in like 3 hours. So, instances work again. So, we got into a Befallen [music] one. And we’re going to go. So, I actually killed a hill giant at level 12 using druid. >> [music] >> Definitely the most overpowered class in the game, I would say. But >> [music] >> we we switched at 10 to warrior, druid, bard. I set all that up. It was mostly [music] just me doing UI work there. And then I killed mobs in uh the [music] the new Sibyl’s expedition trying to trying to get another crash, honestly. [music] So, uh we haven’t really done much. Uh I did get some loot from there. I got uh this burnt sheer blade, which is a two-hander 1140, not that great. >> [music] >> Uh I got a smoldering robe. Now, I got these at like in plus zero, right? I just killed the mobs so much that I got it up to four. Pretty decent robe if you’re a caster. [music] And then uh this two-handed blunt here if you’re a caster. And [music] then I think we got these frayed silk slippers also, which is pretty nice. [music] It’s got wisdom on it. A little bit more mana for our dumb ogre ass here. But uh you know, that’s what I got. This is the spell set I’m running. Um I’m at [music] 14 AA. We’re about to get another AA. Uh I’m going for improved bash, which is [music] uh where I’m going now. Uh so, I can get more bash damage. Uh but yeah, definitely uh enjoying the build here. So, we’re going to go and uh start the fallen now. We got our instance. [music] So, we’ll do this for a bit. Now, the goal is to stay here until like 25. So, we’re going to we’re going to try that. But, all the instances were unworking [music] yesterday. So, uh definitely uh wasn’t happy about that. But, uh we’re good. We’re getting 73 crits with this. Picking up some cloth pants and stuff. And I got a fine steel fine steel and spear from uh the uh what you call it there? There we [music] go. Look at these just smacking these guys down. Uh and stuff like that. So, we’re at four AAs now. We got an AA point. Uh we’re saving that for improved bash, wherever that one’s at, right here. And then we’ll go back into uh upgrading the heart songs. All right, the skeleton El Rod taking his uh taking his L right here. Now, uh stinging swarm is like the most overpowered dot in the world. Uh now, we don’t have any AAs in any of the crit stuff, but uh just as a druid, unbound nature gives the ability to crit with all your spells. Uh which is kind of overpowered if you ask me. >> [music] >> Uh but, pretty crazy. So, we’re going to we’re going to loot this. I think that’s what we decided in the uh in the uh test videos, and then just auto [music] merge that. Uh I think that’ll get us there. And we’re just going to schwag these guys down, right? [music] We should get a crit here. It’s not a It’s not a big number on crits. Like, what? 2%? But, when it happens, it is uh it’s it’s a decent number. Uh we can sell these rat eyes. They’re not worth anything. But, uh, the Druid heal is low-key pretty nice, right? There’s no negatives to it. So, you do it. I’m going to buy cure to healing tab, right? And it heals us for 31 a tick, right? It’s pretty nice [music] there. All right, so we should just be able to like walk across the room, walk right to her, turn around, and who’s the daughter? Now, I’m unbuffed. Someone gave me breeze, so that’s nice. Uh, I did not uh I don’t have my buff box ready to go yet, but you see here I’m still getting hit healed for 31, right? And then it ends with a 100-point heal. Uh, so it’s pretty nice, right? Like I don’t need to I haven’t really needed to do much [music] else. Uh, I’ve just been riding recovery and uh offensive uh for the last bit. And so it is it’s been pretty nice. It’s been pretty nice. There we go. We killed Dasco without even without any effort at level 12. So, there we go. And we got the scythe right off the bat. That is just uh a lovely right there. So, let’s see here. This is three Yeah, 275. All right. So, this is doesn’t have any unlock slots yet, so we Uh, do we have What do we have got mode-wise here? We got a few modes. I did upgrade my a few of these songs here. I did upgrade this one to three. So, let’s grab one of those, pop that in there. That gives it a plus one. And then one of these, and one of those. There we go. We got the clicky on that one. Now, it’s plus four. Jeez. I got that one up so much damage. All right. So, we can take that out. Where is Oh, there it is. All right. so we can’t take out the burn effect on this one, but we can take out the drum, [music] which is fine. The burn’s only The burn is only [music] uh 14 damage, but I mean, 20 damage versus I mean, it’s it’s like night and day >> [music] >> the amount of damage we’re about to do. So, let’s twicky ourself in there, and then We’re back, boys. We’re back. All right, let’s just go and attack this one. Oh, yeah. Lovely. The ogre is alive. All right, then we want this guy. We just want a uh key from him. All right, here we go. Let’s go to melee. Let’s take out these 93 damage. All right, let’s merge those. Let’s loot that. I guess it’s a key for the stone. Let’s go back down here. Like that. And I think we already cleared that one, and she’s not back up yet. Now, the downside, right, is we we’re big, but what we’ll do at 15 is we’ll pop over to BB because we’ll get the Surefall Glade uh port, and then we can go into BB real quick and grab [music] that. So, that’ll be good. Oh, this success respawned, so I might as well. Let’s merge that. Uh we’ll keep this for later. So, there, and just in case I need that for a one-hander or backstab damage. All right, the L rod should spawn. Let’s just kill these. It’s almost worth killing everything just to start collecting bone chips. Uh bone chips are going to be uh pretty important uh for faction later on, so. There we go. Here he is. And we since we got like extremely lucky with that drop on the first on the first kill, uh we’re pretty much set for the rest of the game. Uh This is going to be pretty good. Now, I might switch out Let’s go ahead and auto merge [music] that. I might switch out um bard run speed for uh bard uh what is it called? Endurance regen? But, I’m not 100% sure yet where I’m going to go and go with that. Let’s kill this skeleton here. But, you can see they’re [music] 92% critical. Lovely, right? Oh, we got a hat. I mean, things are starting to flow now though that uh you know, we can do everything and it’s good. Uh I have been uh I’ve been using the uh potions. Those low-key are uh addicting. I don’t know. Uh call me pay-to-win, but uh I’m going to buy [music] another. And let’s see here. Yeah, the token of reclamation is here. I haven’t decided on bags yet. Um like I don’t know if I even need them, right? I don’t [music] think anything weighs anything, so I don’t think it really matters, but uh still haven’t decided where that where that’s going to go. I cannot close this with escape. There we go. Now, we’re just going to dot her and see how this goes. So, but like the ogre has like 873 hit [music] points right now. It’s pretty insane. Um definitely uh definitely fun. Now, once I get uh the inventory uh the the bash one, right? I am going to get the next thing. Uh what is it called? Uh There is something else I wanted. All right, so what we’re going to do, I don’t think we can Yeah, we can’t put it in there yet. We’re going to save that one for right now. Uh we need to get that up so I can put the uh bard thing into it. That’s really the only limitation there. All right, let’s go this way since we have the key now. Coming here at 12 uh definitely makes it a lot easier to like just flow through it. Uh you can see here I’m like pretty much able to kill everything without much effort, especially since we got that uh that two-hander on the first kill there. But uh um >> [music] >> you know, we we definitely did not follow the plan exactly cuz the the uh the uh instances [music] didn’t work, so we’re we’ll we’ll talk about that. Uh and I’ll do a video talking about the plan. And [music] uh I almost feel like I should save the malachite, but at the same time I don’t care. All right, we’re going to go through here and just start killing the stuff, right? And then we’re going to work our way back up and down, you know, it’s [music] just going to be all over. Cuz we’re not going to be able to kill the uh the dark elves in a fast pace that’s worth uh worth doing, so we’re not going to go all the way down there, but you can see here we’re about to 13. Now, I didn’t I did not buy any spells [music] cuz almost everything that the the wiki said was auto grant like is is been completely wrong. So, I didn’t >> [music] >> I didn’t waste a single penny. Now, [music] I can kill hill giants now, so like that’s you know, I can [music] go for spawn up an instance of you know, something and just do them, but uh definitely uh interesting there. All right, so let’s do some real heals. I mean, we got a lot of mobs on us right now, like if you can see this one. I’m fizzling like [music] nonstop. Now, bard is supposed to have uh the ability to uh cast through things here, but I don’t think it’s working. Uh that’s not the one I wanted anyway. Or is it inversion? I think that’s it. I think that’s the deal for faster casting. Uh oh, a bronze axe. Let’s go to sell those. That’s another two platinum in our pocket right there. Ladies and gentlemen, all right, let’s go back to offensive and let’s stand in version. I think that’s going to work. There we go. 13, we got uh two spells I don’t even think we’re on the list. Let me see here. Um All right, [music] spells. >> [music] >> Yeah, no, they were on the list. No, wait, wait, wait, wait. I I I I guess I already bought blind divinity, but I didn’t get that auto-granted. And purifying rhymes obviously is auto-granted cuz all of the bard songs are auto-granted. All right, let’s uh let’s Let’s in here. Let’s drop a dot. >> [music] >> There we go. What is Does it Does inversion cost more? Okay, it costs endurance. Ooh. I never use inversion. I’ve never uh never needed it. All right, auto sell. Let’s go back. Let’s go on [music] empower. Let’s try that one out for a little bit. All right, so let’s go in here. This guy. So, empower should increase the damage of the dot, right? So, it’s 37 damage versus 31 damage, right? And we got that. Do we need a bag? Inventory for the bank. All right, so we got a hardened skeleton and that. These are to level 21. The wisp. I So, I spent a lot of time killing wisps in uh in uh West Commons just trying to one try to crash, two try to uh try to get any uh any semblance of uh money. All right, there we go. Oh, that. The symbol it’s an extra 10 points on the heal if you empower it. So, that’s pretty good. There we go. Now, I feel like experience is a little slow considering what I’m killing, right? I got 5% for a red. That doesn’t even make sense. Uh so, you know, I think I feel like they did something else there, but uh you know, at this point this What’s the point in complaining, right? I uh Every time I say experience is too slow, Someone says uh uh it’s too fast. And uh you know, it’s just like what what’s the point? Well, let let you guys figure out how slow it is when you get to your second and third loadouts there, but it’s but uh There we go. Am I Am I fighting something or did it go? Oh, it’s running away. Oh, that’s not pleasant. Oh, and it resists. They’re [\h__\h] Yep. They are [\h__\h] All right. Well, that’s why you do do uh difficulty one. Like yeah, I can’t do anything here. Uh yeah, that’s why you do difficulty one so stuff doesn’t run. I couldn’t even Like you can’t even snare this, right? So like don’t tell me I could have snared it because they’re 100% resistant to magic. Right? Like let’s just let’s be real here. Uh let’s go on recovery. And just do it again. >> [music] >> I mean, that’s the the the the secret, right? You can just go up and down. Don’t even have to worry about anything. Is that guy dual wielding already? All right, what do we get here? We got a cloth and food. Let’s auto And let’s loot that. I’m not going to auto loot that. waste There we go. Perfect. We should get another uh ask a killer in a second. If we’re lucky, we’ll get something off this uh guy here in just a moment, but who knows? >> Coming up through up a hill. Now, I don’t even bother buffing in all honesty. I have thorns on. That’s the only thing I’m going to really bother with. Now, they changed the the clicky in What is it? Uh God, what is the name of that zone? Crushbone. So, the [music] damage shield clicky is now uh the druid bear form, right? Now, it’s it’s kind of useless. [music] Sorry. It’s kind of useless in you know most regards cuz it’s a two-point damage shield. But, it is a permanent buff, so it might be worth going to pick that [music] up just so we can clicky that versus mimic. But, [music] uh we might go do that around level 20. Just go do a little sweep of some things. There we go. We got another scythe. What do we have here? What? Two. So, what I’m going to do, I’m going to loot this one and I’m going to go like this. I’m going [music] to take currency. I’m going to withdraw one of these. Bring it up to two. And then grab two of these. [music] Like that. Now, it’s a two, right? And we’re going to take that. Take it over here. Put it in here. Make it a three. And we get a little bit better ratio. A little bit. Not much, but a little bit. There we go. We got reefer. We can go and [music] sell that junk. Getting some gear here. Uh definitely uh what we want. Now, if I’m not mistaken, Shadow Knight should still be uh in our Quia leather. Should still be blue. These are all gray. [music] Yeah, we can just go over here and schwack him. Now, if I remember correctly, the Shadow Knight is considered named, so he’s a higher chance of dropping mobs. We might get lucky, we might not. Auto store, and we can auto sell this from now on. And [clears throat] we can make our way back back down, [music] right? So, it’s it’s pretty much the Fallen hustle. I just go through here, schwack what you can, hit [music] uh hit crouch all the time, and uh enjoy yourself. Is that It’s literally right in front of me, right? Or did I just like one-shot it, and I didn’t even notice? All right. >> [music] >> Yeah. Being big is quite the hassle. But, you see here, I’m like cleaving these things down. It’s just absolutely lovely. It’s working pretty much exactly like I thought the build would, right? I’m hitting for [music] 88 already, 132 crit right there. I mean, sure we died, but I’m already back to exactly where I was. And there I’m cleave hit two of those mobs for 52, 46. And they added a new thing in the options, persistent auto attacks, so you don’t have to like turn it on and off all the time. And I turn on hostile. Uh hostile spell turns on auto attack, also. >> [music] >> So, I’m really like I’m hitting the laziest as I could possibly lazy be, right? I I I’m getting there. Uh I don’t even I used to have attack in my multi bind. I don’t even I don’t even hit the multi bind anymore. Uh, you know, I could, right? It is [music] just uh, attack on and pet attack, right? But, doesn’t really even matter. All right. So, we’re already back to where we were. Let’s try this again. >> [music] >> Now, this time, we’re not going to kill the wisp first. Uh, we’re not going to kill the wisp last. Uh, we’re going to kill him in a second. And theoretically, he won’t run if there’s another mob here. Or we’ll die again. I mean, [music] it it it really really could just go anyway, right? All right. Where’s that wisp? There he is. Now, we watch. I’ll snare him. It’s not going to land. He’s going to resist 100%. That’s just how it is. He also got a thorns. Geez. There we go. Oh, wait. We Oh my god, we killed the uh, Oh my god, we killed the um, the other one. [music] With uh, cleave. All right, that’s That’s how strong we are. See if this thing runs. I’m not going to heal myself much. It’s hard to see where he’s at. There he is. He’s almost dead. There he’s running now. All right, got him. All right. We’re out of endurance. Let’s switch over here. Let’s do this. Now, regen endurance regen. Let’s get healed up. Now, that’s going to give us What are we at here? Uh, 36 endurance regen and balanced. so that’s not too bad. 20 mana regen. Geez. That seems [music] high. Um and nine HP regen. All right. So, OLER and recovery. All right, let’s go into offensive. We should be fine for this guy right here. We’re going to dot [music] him. We should be able to land this dot on him, no problem. There we go. Now, when he gets up here, we’re going to snare him, also. There we go. And perfect. Now, we should just [music] uh be able to shwack him down without much effort. It’s not until 29 we get the 10-minute [music] snare, which is uh going to be uh a little bit better. All right. Oh, sweet. [music] Looks like my car is ready, so I got to go pick that up here in [music] a few minutes. All right, we got pristine leather gloves. So, let’s go ahead and loot those. So, uh right here, pristine leather gloves, three wisdom, three dexterity. Let’s put that on there. And we used we got I guess we got more AA cuz that AA buff is gone. There we go. And we’re going to spend those six AA on improved bash, which gives us the ability to two-handed bash, but uh improves that slightly. All right. And leather boots are not going on. [music] All right, let’s go back up. And stuff. Now, like pretty much this is what I’m going to be doing for the [music] next little bit. Uh so, I don’t need to uh probably show every bit of this cuz it’s just going to be hours [music] of me farming this over and over. Plus, I got to go pick up a car in, uh, a few minutes, so. I just one shot that mofo. Look at that. I mean, ogre supremacy [music] at its finest right here. Let me just walk over here. Schwack him. Uh, so I think we’ll, you know, like do the highlights of it from this point on uh, until we get downstairs. Maybe do the next video down there. Uh, but obviously going down there gets it’s a little harder um, and I don’t think I’m ready for that yet. But, you see here, what are we bashing for now? Eight points? Uh, 11 [music] points. A little bit better. Now, bash damage I believe is based on the AC of your weapon or shield from any of the slots, so you’re going to want to have a uh, a weapon with AC. Now, the the dugas, like I mentioned previously, the warrior sky weapon is, uh, definitely, uh, something you’re going to want to pick up cuz it’s plus 10, [music] that’s 40 AC. That’s going to be a pretty good bash. Uh, I plan on using a blade stopper as one of my, uh, any slot items. So, that’s going to be a pretty nice one. So, let’s loot this one, um, cuz now we have two of these. We should have some modes we can spend these on, right? We char all this. We’re just going to go [music] up one, right? On both of these to get a plus two. I don’t think we need to go any further. Uh, can I add myself to it? There we go. Plus There we go. So, that gives us the plus two. Then we go over here to this, take out the cracked staff with the plus two in the [music] any slot. Get rid of that. Where is my cracked staff? We’re going to take out the loot, put it in there. And now we have a seven AC or a seven seven wisdom I mean item in our any slot, right? We still have our boots of the long [music] road there. I uh I merge those in. So, we can delete these. We don’t need those. And we don’t need those. And we no longer need I’m going to keep that for right now. I don’t know if I have another dual weapon dual wield weapon if I need one. Uh we can sell those at this point. There we go. So, pretty uh pretty basic, right? Like [music] uh this is the plan. So, I’m just going to be doing this for the next foreseeable future. Just going up and down uh killing the footmen. I don’t I don’t I’m not going to I don’t Oh, you know what? Let’s do it. Let’s see how far we can get into this next room uh before we die, right? So, just drop down here instead of going through there. Swat this guy cuz he’s blue. He’s going to attack as we walk by anyway. There we go. Let’s get shield of thorns back on. And just It’s just grinding at this point, right? Uh nothing too fancy here. And then yeah, perfect. Where is this? I don’t want to attack pets. Those are a waste of time. But I mean we’re slashing for 108. We’re slashing for you know, some good damage, right? And this is uh should be all cleaved, right? Yeah, 76 cleave 74 cleave. Just depends on the angle and I’m not really trying too hard to get the angles, right? Auto sell. Go in here. These are yellow. But you can see here the experience uh on D0 feels pretty weak. I think I’ll probably go up to D1. Uh just so I don’t have to deal with the think about runners and stuff like that. But uh you know, we’re going to be here for a while. And we’ll just go it we’ll go down as far as we can and see where uh that takes us. There we go. [music] Easy. But you can kind of just cycle back and forth between these. If you’re a small race, it’s a little quicker cuz you don’t uh run into the walls as much as I am. Uh let’s go and move that. [music] All right, we got an ice bone skeleton. Let’s grab those. Those will be easy. There we go. All [music] right, so that was a new neck piece right there. And what do we have? 79 AC? And you know, like everybody that told me to go get the slave boots uh and uh and what what zone was it? Crush bone? They got nerfed so hard. They’re like unusable. They’re like 150 weight now. Uh it’s hilarious. But uh you know, any anything you think that looks overpowered is definitely going to get nerfed. Like you got to just you got to think about it like that. And uh like uh like in the at the the cat island, there is a item with like resist or not a regen. [music] It’s regen health, mana, and endurance, and stuff like that. Uh almost certain that’s going to get nerfed in the hotfix, but who knows. But uh definitely uh something to to think about there if you’re going to waste your time trying to go get get that early. It’ll It’ll probably get nerfed. But we we will probably head over to the cat area at some point. >> [music] >> We will have to probably unlock a different deity because they don’t like Cazic-Thule. And you know what? I don’t want to just go kill them all, right? 153 critical, nice. Now, we should have snared him, but here we are. Oh, I didn’t get the key, did I? Yeah, he opened the door for me, though. >> [laughter] >> You son of a [\h__\h] All right, we’re just going to merge that one. And we’ll just keep going here. Now, the elf skeleton drops the mallet pieces for the weapon that gives promise renewal for shadow knights, so. If you get pieces from him, you might want to hang on to those. >> [music] >> All right. A sprouting heel. I wish the sprouting heel had the same like recast time as the duration. I think that would feel better to me. Oh, wait, I landed dot on him there. Can I land this on him? No. Apparently this this thing here lands on like everything. 100 100 magic resist negative. All right, that’s why. Uh at level 12 I wasn’t able to land it on hill giants, so. Pretty nice there. But it looks like a hard uh a hard um thing there, but we got it. All right. What do we got going on here? Let’s heal. I’m going to try to sneak over here. Oh, I don’t have the key. Yeah, I can’t do that. Uh there’s another shadow knight I think over here we can go. Where is it? It’s [music] like right here, right? Yeah, this guy. Let’s go ahead and dot this guy. Let’s get the [music] shield of thorns back on. And we can go get that key. It’s not too bad, right? Not too bad at all. All right. Oh, we got an ad. Which isn’t too bad. Like >> [laughter] >> I don’t feel like I’m I’m having a hard time. I I really don’t. I feel like the druid heal is really nice. It’s [music] uh something I I never used, right? Cuz I never leveled up a druid after they got the heal. So, definitely feels nice. >> [music] >> And then I have my normal heals to supplement that. And whatnot, so. But I am I am taking a lot of damage from all these casters and stuff. What do we got? We got sell [music] that. Chipped bone rod, locate corpse. All right, we can sell all this crap. [music] Auto sell. I probably should have kept the ring, but it’s two AC. Uh I see here. [music] Advanced loot. Filters. What was that thing gold? Silver. >> [music] >> Okay. let’s >> [snorts] >> Let’s not sell those moving forward. [music] Let’s pull them back. There we go. Not too bad, right? Like I mean I feel like I’m doing decent damage. All right, so we’re about to hit 14. I mean we’re getting 108, 70, 104. 22, there we go. We got levitate. >> [music] >> It’s the only spell we got there. You can see the all the the skill up spam. Yeah, they got to turn all that off. I haven’t done it yet. It’s like unreadable, right? Like like like look at this. It’s just it’s like it’s like it wasn’t tested. >> [music] >> And I’ve been saying since private beta that it needs to be not world space. [music] It needs to be screen space, right? Needs to be rendered 2D on the screen. So that it shows up here. Kind of like the World of Warcraft or you know the other games that do it. They don’t really do it in world space like this. Um definitely I mean maybe a limitation of their uh of their products. What is this? This thing is level 20, so it’s not too bad. But he’s hitting kind of hard, so we’re going to we’re going to try to heal up here while we’re getting heal over time. But I mean it doesn’t feel too bad, honestly. There we go. I’m fighting I’m fighting to stay alive there. Only 4% for a level 20, right? That’s six [music] more levels higher than me. I feel feels like they nerfed the experience again. Uh what’s your opinion? What’s your thoughts? I can’t even get into this room. All right, we got to kill this little gnome first. He’s going to be He’s going to be the problem. No, don’t sprout. There we go. 116 crippling blow. Boom. Uh this should have AC on it. Yeah, let’s loot that. Let’s auto store that. I’ll sprout again. Oof. Come on. Oh my gosh. [music] 133 189 up above. Crippling blow. I feel like the secret is to stay in uh Let’s stay in uh What do you call it? Stance. There we go. All right, we can loot those. Now we have the keys to stay in uh berserker stance under under health, right? Now, I think what we’ll do uh cuz at 15 we should get the Gate to Shar’val Glade. Uh that might be a nice little adventure uh to leave here, go get the shrink shoulders, and then come back. Uh you know, cuz I’m going to have to leave anyway, so I’m going to lose my I’m going to lose my instance anyway, so I might as well uh do that when we get 15. So, that would be probably a smart idea. I’m going to kill the wisp. All right. we go. And then can I get a sprout? [music] Now, I’m doing this in offensive and I’m you can see I’m like losing endurance. [music] But I’m kind of hanging in there. So, it’s I’d probably have [music] more endurance and whatnot in defensive and I probably have you know, less of a difficult time trying to fight some of this stuff, but you know, I’m double I’m double dotted right now, so. It is what it is. There we go. And we don’t have any >> [music] >> the AAs the AAs for the uh what you call it? For healing yet. I believe the final thing on the on the Druid heal will do uh a crit, but I’m not sure about the overtime. I don’t think you’re going to get [music] extended either, so. But light healing with [music] uh you know, 1,000 hit points is is uh is a real struggle. Let’s go ahead and get another sprout. I’m definitely going faster now, right? >> [music] >> Sprout that one and she’s 19, so. Feels like it’s a good, you know, it’s a good AA experience cuz we’re about to get another two AAs. And I’m torn between uh a few things, but I feel like finishing up the Now, this is >> [music] >> this is going to suck. I feel like finishing up there. I’m going to go defensive for this cuz this this is as you can see this is kind of a crazy room. I’m torn between quick buff and the next bard [music] one, right? Ideally I want to get the next bard one soon so I can get another bard song going. But uh who knows what I’ll end up doing when I get [music] there. I’m just going to save a ace for a few. Get up to like six again and see where we’re at. I mean it’s with the double potion it makes it a lot easier to think about it. Because I do feel like it is a little bit slower than it was. And there it was done this guy. And let’s brow this guy. There we go. But as you can see like we’re getting good heals there and uh you know, we’re getting some good damage with our melee. All right, killed him. What is this? Oh, so this is a thermu- thermoda- thermatologist sash. I’ll put that on my list. Uh it’s a nice little belt. It’s five AC which is better than the that. It’s intelligence but I don’t I don’t really know how the mana works. That was something I was going to look up but I never put the effort into it. Uh I don’t know if I get help stuff from that or not. Oh, there’s this guy he’s running [music] away like a little [\h__\h] There we go. And we got a blackened wand. I’m going to loot one of those. I don’t remember what it’s for. It’s for a quest of [music] some sort though. There. And but this area down here is pretty easy uh and [music] all things considered, right? And we’re getting bronze drops so we’re like at 57 platinum now so we’re like our low-level spell situation is set, I think. And if we need more money, I can just go kill hill giants with [music] very relative ease at this point. But, uh I think we’ll get to 15 and then [music] uh we’ll call it there. Then we’ll pop over to cuz we should get the Shavaglade one auto-granted. If not, uh we can go buy it [music] real quick in between episodes and then we’ll go off to Blackbarrow, grab the shoulders, and uh then come back and I’ll spend the rest of my time here, I think. For a good bit of, you know, good bit of rested today. Uh my goal for today is actually uh 25 plus. I’m probably going to make a few videos today. Uh I’m I’m hoping 25 to 30. Maybe I can push it a little bit more. Just depends on how long it takes me to go pick up this car here in a minute. And then uh go from there, but going to get Let’s see here. Let me look at my leveling path here. So, I have 22 before and then at 22 we go to Sole. Um 22 to 27, so uh I ideally I just want to pick up the uh the two-hander [music] here. I think that’ll be really all I need to grab. And then uh Can I not cast? What am I Oh. There we go. Spamming buttons in my spreadsheet. There we go. That’s on the other screen. Uh I don’t know how well Linux will handle me throwing [music] throwing overlay onto the thing here. All right, let’s keep going over this [music] way. Cuz that’s where we’re kind of headed here. Going to kill the uh the dark elves and stuff. And then uh so we’re going to be in Sole for a little while, then go to Nagina for a little bit, and then back to Sole, and then to Lower Guk. Pretty That’s kind of the plan we have. Oh my god. All right. Let’s uh >> [laughter] >> stay alive. A sprout. All right, I guess I’m attacking the patch. It’s not what I wanted, but whatever. One less thing hitting me. That’s on there. Let’s do inversion. Just so we can cast faster. I don’t know if that’s going to matter long-term. Actually, let’s go back to that. It’s not a big deal. There’s not as many now. Another sprout. And we’re good. Right? Like if Oh, we’re still in defensive. This is This is uh even better. I didn’t even realize we were still in defensive. So. Wait, we should be fine. You know, 179 crippling blow, right? As long as we stay under 40%, right? Like this heal is so weak, right? It’s like a low-key uh uh actually better for us. Just keeping it uh keeping it low. Just hitting a light heal in between cleaves, [music] right? That’s all I’m really doing. Just watching the timers. There we go. But you can see here [music] everything else is like almost dead without even targeting it. Uh looks like we lost uh the shield, so let’s grab that. Do another sprout. [music] And we’re good. We’re getting like four, you know, 3 4% per kill. Not too bad there. That’s junk. Oh, so and Come on. We’re in recovery, so we should get some of that mana back. Cost a lot of mana to do that, but uh you know, these mobs are pretty rough. All right. Let’s kill the elf skeleton. I’m okay with uh starting my mallet farm now. I’m not opening that door because if I open that door, I’m going to get three mobs plus two plus an named and it’s kind of painful. And it’s good. Come on. Drop. All right, nothing. So, we can [music] go here now. Crouch. Over here. I think we’re going to get this ranger. I would say the rangers are probably one of the [music] hardest ones besides the the healers, but we should be fine. Uh right next to us uh right here is the lady with a dispel stick, so we’re going to try to pick up that real quick, so we can actually dispel the damage shield. Since I uh don’t have cancel magic [music] cuz I have I have bought spells. I haven’t bought spells at all. Oh, you know what we should do? We should snare her. And then throw another dot on her. Perfect. And we didn’t get uh shield of thorns on, so let’s get that on real quick. And then another heal. Now, I feel like these are probably too high cuz you can see here we’re getting actually jacked up, right? Like unless there’s another one on us, but actually getting pretty jacked up by this thing. And we’re going to spend [music] probably the rest of our mana just trying to recover from this. So, probably not worth coming down here at 14. But, we’ll show it anyway uh as we uh fight through here. There we go, 100 heal from that. But, you know, she’s going to chain heal herself at this point, so that’s just how it is. Yeah, we should probably snare her. [music] I don’t know if they run, but they probably do. But, you can see here we’re doing decent damage against her. I mean, [music] it’s not as much as the other mobs cuz she’s so much higher. She’s 25. She’s almost What is that? 16 levels higher than us. No. I’m [\h__\h] 11 levels. Uh There we go. There we go. Come on. Let’s get a sprout. Maybe she doesn’t run. Like Here we go. All right. Fine [music] steel great staff. Uh we can sell that. All right. I don’t think we’re going to be able to take this one out, but we’ll try this named gear before [music] we call it. Cuz now my daughter’s texting me to go get the car. Her car. It’s her car. She got a flat tire. We have to take it and get it get the tire replaced. Cuz she drives more than anybody on Earth for some reason. All right. Just get a little mana war. Should be good to go here. We’re still in defensive. She’s a caster, so might go better. What kind of caster [music] is she again? She’s a wizard, so she’s just going to chain nukes for a little bit. Then now they changed the AI. This up instead of like wasting his time [music] with roots. It’s going to waste its time with ice comets. So we’ll see how this goes. All right. Shield of Thistles. Let’s go and get that back on. Let me see. Do we get anything new? Uh da da da No, not really. And I already have all my rings except for Shurfal Shurfal Glade, which is supposed to be auto granted, so we’ll see. >> [music] >> All right. We’re going to dot her up. We’re going to snare her. We’re going to switch to offensive. We’re going to sprout. And hopefully uh kill her before she kills us. Look at that, she stuns into [music] a lightning bolt. Talk about crazy AI there. But, the second of my stun goes off, I have my cleave [music] already back up, so along with the bashing from improved bash bow, she’s dead. All right, so that gives us this, which we must equip this to actually use it, so uh Like I have nowhere to [music] put I guess I could uh Yeah, so we got to we got to get another one of those to upgrade it. Uh let’s kill a shadow knight. Now, the shadow knights are going to do a harm touch, so you make sure you got some mana there. Or we’re going to go to 15, I think. It’s only like two or three more kills. [music] I think he just perm touched me. I think he saved it for a second there. >> [music] >> All right, oh, I’m just going to try to get some healing on. But, not too bad. All right, let’s get him snared. And we dot him up. Now, the uh from what I understand, the the [music] high-end druid dots are actually pretty good. Uh so, we might be able to have some fun there with those. All right, we got a moat. Let’s get this guy. Oh, he’s going to bring that [music] rangerocity. Oh, lucky lucky us, Oh, no. I didn’t think about that. Sprout. All right. Uh that’s funny enough. We should be able to get 3% up here. Let’s just start killing. Uh hilarious though, right? [music] Like I I I I didn’t have the I didn’t have the resources for that. But we can kill these guys again. Looks like we’re getting two bone chips to kill uh in most cases that involve bones, right? So, that’s pretty nice actually. So, I have them all going to my uh my uh trade skill depot. So, when we need those, we’ll pull those out later. Uh so, we just said we’re not like filling our bags with, you know, stackable items [music] that can go into another resource, right? And then, there she is. That’s dead. Let’s get a sprout. Yeah, nothing. All right. Uh let’s do Aska real quick. Now, Aska is going to death touch us also or harm touch us. So, we should uh wait a second before attacking her. Let’s kill this thing. Oh, there we go. We leveled up right there. >> [music] >> All right, what do we got here? Ring of Surefall Glade. We got the uh the bard lull. Or no, this is the bard maze actually. Uh we got that. We got double attack now. We got block now. We got repose. We got tracking, right? So, this we got some good stuff here at 15. So, let’s see here. Let’s grab tracking. Let’s put that in our multibind right there. And then, what else do we get here? We got Block is passive. Double attack is passive. Those were all passive. Perfect. All right. Let’s pre-heal. And we’re good to go. Let’s see where we’re going with that. Then we just walk over here to her and shwack her down, probably. Look at that. 78 on the first attack. 60 on the second attack. Bash is up [music] to 22 damage now. Slash is at 26. Nice. Nice. Nice. And this uh Aerie Bard’s song is [music] doing 11 damage per tick through everything. So, there we go. We got another one of those. Uh this is at a plus three. Uh I’ll think about that, right? But uh I think that’s where we’re going to call it, right? We’re going to go to We’re going to go get the shrink shoulders real quick in the next episode in uh Blackbarrow, but there we go. Um kind of back on pace, not crashing anymore. Uh now, if you’re you running Linux and you’re running Crossover, my my thought process is that the crash was OpenGL related. I switched my back end from uh whatever the OpenGL default back end is on uh uh Crossover to DXVK, the [music] Vulcan back end for DirectX. And so far, so good. So, if you’re uh running into that problem, try that out [music] and stuff there. But, thank you very much for watching. And please have a fantastic day. >> Mhm.
