Adepts (opinions)

This is Narmarratuk here Anyways I'm back to playing now that the server is up and can't wait to hit adepts again. This is what I think about them, they are great, a good way to get geared up at low lvls and earn your loot while at the same time having fun, infact Narmarratuk has been lvl 32 for like the longest killing treant, birdman, shark and crock. I really enjoy the adepts, If anything i would like changed is so that they drop a cola or beer can for everyone that came to the raid besides their normal loot, so everyone can have a drink after the battle is over... plus it feels nice that everyone gets out with something from the mob even if it is something cheap and small like a beer.

adepts are definitely a plus =P
some adepts need item fixing
I noticed that Sandjaw, gator adept in oasis last raid dropped a Breastplate no race could use and a nodrop bag that was not a container and had no purpose, I think it was ment to be a weight reduction bag? anyways people in the raid had fun killing the mob but where disapointed on loot. Also Redmaw dropped a int caster only necklace with 25 agi, but no int and only 15 mana..some cha but regardless it rots all the time or someone loots it just for trophy because all int casters already have a int necklace with effect on that they wont replace for 25 agi. I noticed that I get less int casters to my raids so that may be why
. Please looks this over Wiz and thanks for your time.

I've enjoyed the one adept I've killed, Queen Bettle, and while I look forward to killing more I was wondering if an Adept dungeon would be possible? A dungeon that is designed for only people under a certian level and anyone over the given dungeon level would be removed. I don't know much about Dalaya yet because I have only started playing, but I wold very much look forward to seeing a dungeon like this. It would help train lower level people on train tactics and behaviour. While in the dungeon XP gain would be at a minimal to keep people from leveling mid-raid.

I really like the adepts for the challenge they provide. Maiandra and me (and our alts) love trying to bring down an adept as economically as possible - meaning, relying on skill and good teamwork rather than brute force and/or twinking. So far we found that all adepts we tried could be brought down with one or two groups.
I agree that it can be really hard to find enough people willing to participate, especially knowing that in our case, there's probably going to be a few wipes before a viable tactic is found. Getting a really good group together that is willing to wait out the ten minutes and try again makes it worth while, though, as is the feeling of triumph on getting Tarx down on the third try with just seven people (characters, not seven two-boxers).
If I had it my way (but somehow I hope I won't, cause I wouldn't be able to enter a pvp area any more without getting beaten into a bloody pulp), adepts would respawn faster, drop only one piece of loot and not be targetable by more than twelve people at a time, six for Brancu and below. I think it would get rid of people's expectations of there needing to be at least 20 people for an adept raid, as well as the nasty problem of sticking to a certain level especially for that one adept you want to get, but every time you log in it has been killed 2 hours before so you know you won't be able to stay up for it. I don't want to complain, but we're running out of tradeskills.
Funny thought just struck me: we use our lower level characters to twink our higher level characters with adept gear... /snicker

Re: some adepts need item fixing
Uhh, CHA is a caster stat, so your int casters are pretty dumb.
Fixed sandjaw's stuff.
