The Foil Hat of Swirling Thoughts is an out-of-combat insta-teleport that is excruciatingly handy to have. You have to be level 7 to 15 or 48+ to get this quest. Look for a guy with a cat in your nearby lowbie starter town, or read up on it: Saving Zarees lvl 7 Mid, Saving Zarees lvl 7 Alb, Saving Zarees lvl 7 Hib. Level 48 and higher characters have to do a slightly different version.

I've also recently come back, I left the summer of 2008 when dragon farming was in high fashion. I've been trying to catch up on changes to gear from around or after the time I left, this is what I've gathered:

Old things that have changed:
- Upgraded ML10 armor, cloaks, weapons; can remove all but 1 armor and keep cloak
- Upgraded legendary weapons
- Upgraded SI epic chestpieces
- Upgraded classic epic armor
- New SI dragon loot (including TOA damage)
- Some classic dragon loot normalized across realms (Soulbinder's Belt, etc.)
- New dragon mythirians (questable I believe)
- Dragon scales buy dragon epics and classic/SI dragon items
- Atlantean glass buy artifacts/ML's, also legendary components and guaranteed MP crafting tools
- Afrit kills & afrit essences produce TOA encounter drops

Seasonal / temporarily available quest rewards:
- Medal of Honor/Ghostly Medal of Honor neck (utility)
- Doppelganger/springtime bracelets (utility)
- "Infernal" sleeves (power regen or health regen)
- "Samhain" halloween hats (TOA damage, baby Zo charge, baby Malice reverse proc)

If I'm missing anything significant, let me know!

Whats the easiest farmable mob for glass? I just hit 40 on my warden duoing with my brother's 40 mauler.. im back playing after a few years of absence.. having a hard time trying to figure out where glass drops.

My understanding is that glass drops of all "intelligent" mobs. I would guess this excludes insects/crocs/birds and stuff like that. I think it includes statues.

It would be friggin' awesome if you guys would sticky something like this with updates. I started playing eight years ago and come back when I start getting the shakes, but every time I do I spend days scouring the googlez and the boards. I've tried all kinds of games but I can't shake this one.

Basic horse quest, very useful (level 10 and up):

Mid

I don't see a write up for Hib and Alb. But, should be similar quests.

farm afrits (mid level) sell essenses,glass.. also certain rog and named, salvage rest.. buy scales and bounty points (unless you have alch and wanna craft top potions in which case farm malmo.) .

You can get the basic horse through a quest if you stay in the starter area as well. It's a decent place to begin, although leaving long enough for the Tin Foil Hat is an absolute must.

Can start farming glass around 33ish, if first coming back it's a good time to start hitting up the GoLM and/or Orion's belt mobs and then the statue's and harpy's in the area drop some glass and scrolls for those two useful arti's.

WWW, I'd love to create a "10-Spot" list of leveling places for those who aren't Task Dungeon inclined. Harpies, Statues, and mini-Afrits and a good choice.

Oh and to add to my To-Do/Info List for New Old Players
16) You can re-allocate the characters STARTING POINTS: select your character in the lobby, click the Customize button, then the Adjust Attributes button.
17) ...

Hey all,

I haven't played in several years and I'm now nearing the end of the 14 day free trial.

Here is what I've managed to do / figure out. ((Note I had a ton of plat from way back when))

I transferred to Ywain.
Went to ToA Ruins and bought ML's for old Bounty Points and Glass (which I bought in housing)
Went and talked to the king to start CL's. ** Is it right that any xp I earn will go toward CL now? **
Bought a horse.
RvR'd a couple times (RR2.2). With no guild it is fairly difficult to get in a Battle Group.
Farmed dragonscales in Dartmoor and bought some dragon items.
This character is a reaver with a sort of crappy template because I'm from classic and have no arties currently - a few dragon items and player crafted.

Lvl'd a new character, theurg, up to 37 and have purchased 5 artis (gem of lost memories, orions belt, taldors staff, and 2 i cant wear yet - maddening scalars and guard of valor)


So I think I'm off to a good start.

Questions.
How do I get a RvR horse?
And where do recruiting guilds post? I really should get into a guild that battlegroups.
What do I need to know about CL's?
And with dragon scales, if I purchase one of the 150x gems from the dragon npc in the capitol city, can I really trade that for a piece of armor?


It has truly been a pain trying to figure all this crap out on my own. This thread is such a good idea.
