Great post here, bookmarking this. Thanks all for the replies as this helps me dramatically as well, as a returning player who quit upon TOA I knew almost none of this.

50 Battlesongs, 43 Hammer.

101 Strength, Charisma, Con (Quickness is not needed if you run a haste bot + potions)

Mastery of Magery 7
Purge 5
Ignore Pain 3
Avoidance of Magic 7
Speed of Sound 1

This is based on full realm-rank of 13. I suggest getting Purge 5(Asap) then move to MOM for higher DD damage, then IP, AOM. SOS 1 is just for a quick getaway and/or inc immunity of CC(comes in handy quite abit, you'd be surprised)

Also make sure your TOAs are capped..

10% Magic Damage, Range, Pierce, Melee Damage, Combat Speed, Style Damage... Spell Duration caps at 25%, but I don't think is necessary, because alot of people have Purge or Det.. So your mezz should only be used to quickly get side stun off.

In personal experience, I would wear a Health Regen Myth, and twist your HP Regen Song.. Works very well solo'ing.

Also make sure you are Sojourner. This will give you enhanced tatics and defense while fighting multiples.

CL 10, be sure to go Seer for Disease & CL Resists. Diseases are really nice to cast while your target is mezzed, try to remember that.

I dont have an item template, but I hope all this information helps you.

Speaking of scrolls, are there any that are still worth anything? I find a lot of them throughout ToA, but I don't know if any are worth keeping.

in short... scrolls are worthless because they can be bought off with BPs and glass.

I regularly sold full books of Bane of Battler, Mad Tales, and Shades of Mist for 300gold and they still remain unsold on my merchant

try selling them for less than 300g

I still buy scrolls, because I can usually buy all 3 for 100g or less, and that really allows me to stretch the glass/bps for MLs/Arts.

Another fast way to get gold is to run Melting the Ice. If you bind to the stone in Vasudheim, and also have the tin foil hat to port to Aegir, the runs go pretty fast. If you add people who are using the quest to level up, then the quest runs go even faster.
