Len, I keep all my unid golds for allies, so feel free to mooch off of me. Wisdom is mainly bought, because even if you do TH, that only fills about 1/3 of your unid requirements. Compared to party & sweets though, it's an expensive title.

I figure I did enough PvP in FA, JQ, AB, RA, as well as some HA... to merit the zaishen if I bought it. My issue at the moment is what the best source of income is for my playing style... i.e. I am farm-phobic and I tend to play in short bursts of time. How is DoA in terms of time requirements to form a group and do it?

Also, if I farmed something, I might as well farm the UW or something for stuff I can use on my obsidian. That's the last armor I need (and then 10 minis).

Nowadays I am pretty much focused on finishing my HoM. This means earning money (mostly by DoA) and z-keys. Since I am also half-working on GWAMM for Straight N Arrow (not everyone is as awesome as you two ) I am going the zaishen route for the HoM PvP title in stead of Glad so I can earn Kurz faction at the same time.

Arrow is sitting at 26 titles atm. Survivor is not an option, and after putting in some effort I have realized I will never reach max Treasure/wisdom by running chests (so now I am only opening and IDing what I come across while playing).

So I am thinking going for Kurzick (almost rank 9), party (sitting at about 9k), and luck/unluck (Golden/Wretched atm). Maybe I'll go sweets in stead of unluck, depending on how it goes. But not treasure *shudders*

Simply do them all, as they come along. And I really need to get that last point in, but somehow I can't really focus on doing Nightfall on my necro... I want to do Prophecies, but that isn't getting my necro to Vabbi!

Thanks, but I don't think I'll put any further effort into wisdom (sitting at ~1300 atm), I'll just ID whatever I come across.

How is DoA in terms of time requirements to form a group and do it?

A full PuG run in HM typically is made in 4 con sets, i.e. under 2 hours. In NM a PuG can quite often make it in three (under 1.5h) if being effective about it. And then Mallyx takes another ~20 minutes.
It can take a lot of time getting a team at all though, but if you have con sets yourself you can cut down on the wait times.

I am sure there are other more profitable farms out there, like UWSC, but I have not gotten into that. Much because I abhor the practice of "show stones".

[Alaris]

Show stones? I'm guessing you need to show some cons to get in, right?

[Lensor]

Nope, you have to show a bunch of the summoning stones you get from the UW end chest to "prove" that you are not noob.

So, if I get a stone from the end chest, I couldn't use it because I would need it to get into a speed clear group

[Alaris]

Can I buy those stones? ;)

That is ridiculous, I didn't know stuff like that was happening. How are you supposed to learn then? gee.

edit: rofl Alaris, I hadn't thought of that!

[Lady Rhonwyn]

Yes, I was thinking about that. Let's say you have one stone (as you've finished the UW the other day). You then lend it out to a friend who then "proves" she (or he) is not a noob by showing your stone!

Good proof of noobness...

[Alaris]

Hey, kids, wanna see some stones? *pedobear smile*
