Click asteroid.. laser asteroid... wait.


Click next asteroid.

Laser asteroid.

Watch netflix in background because I was a coward and only mined in high-sec space. In a tier-2 barge no less. I did this for the year I was training to pilot a capital drone carrier.. then quit without even attempting to acquire one.

A good starter character is pretty nice to get you started on other builds.


No matter how many items drop...look at it. I once left a Chaos drop and only found it because I had to back track...

And I do get annoyed at this game, a lot. And when it gets to a point I'm more frustrated than having fun, I leave and then come back a few months later and pour even more time (and money) into it. It's a love/hate kind of relationship, I suppose.

I quoted two of the most important entries from my expirience as well. Welcome to Wraeclast, hope you'll have fun for a long time to come :)

Nice thread.

You'll find out a lot more things. Always check the sockets of the items you drop, and pick up the ones linked with Red-Green-Blue sockets; you vendor them for Chromatic Orbs. And if you lag with the last boss, I don't want to imagine while being in parties.

Welcome to Wraeclast :)

My one word of advice: Intentionally avoid build guides and don't be discouraged if your build eventually cannot progress. A major part of the initial fun for me was diving in head first, experimenting, failing, learning, and pushing the bar higher with each reroll.

Only suggesting this because, from your posts, you sound like the sort of player who would enjoy the same kind of experience as I did ^-^ I personally feel that some players miss out on a significant amount of the fun when they start out reading "easy leveling" guides, etc., instead of pushing their own creative limits, and the learning curve is half of the fun ;) (clarification: for some players; wanted to emphasize that--to each their own!)

Let me help you a bit, clear speed + iiq > rarity any day, and with arc you can achieve that :)
Stacked iiq in a rare map lets you drop soooooooo much currency/rares that you don't even have to bother with many other stuff.
Also if you ever get stumped mapping, get a goldwyrm with max item quantity and low lvl (70-73) maps should be fine even with a 40-50 magic/rare, above that get 80%+iiq and packsize/rogue or 110+ iiq mod for all that sweet mapdrops, else you'll get stuck and post that GGG should increase mapdrop rates. 78 Maps should be sold, not run, unless you have enough currency/saved up enough to level in them, because more then probably they will not drop anything you can continue running.
