I've never really been a big fan of pet based classes in MMO's. So i'm curious, is there a way to play the ranger class entirely without one?

One final question, not really directly related to any of this currency. But one of the saddle pieces says "Sold by someone somewhere in the desert" does this just mean a vendor who changes location every day? Or some kind of hidden vendor in some obscure corner of one of the maps?

I know about the skimmer line by the dredge waypoint. And the random bits inside the fortress that look like they need the skyscale for (which isn't an option since thats why i'm trying to gather all these currencies). So i'm wondering, is there a map or something that shows the start points of all these trails?

Well the problem with using the skyscale rifts to farm volatile magic kinda loops back into the original problem. I need that to buy karmic retribution, to use to supply buying the currency, all to get the skyscale fully unlocked. Can't learn any of its masteries until then.

I've seen those volatile magic lines in dragonfall, guess I could grab some of those. Quick question though, do they respawn? Or is it just a once a day thing?

For karmic retribution, all I can really afford is tier 1 on a single map, since I need to save some of that volatile magic so I can buy the saddle parts once I get the map currencies. Can't really afford getting it up to tier 3 anywhere.

Problem with the nodes is that is painfully slow and inconsistant. Since they seem to not even have a 100% drop on each node. A full run of sandswept isles today only got me about 20. Over half the nodes didn't even have the currency in them. And combined with constantly being interupted by enemy encounters getting in the way, it seems rather inefficient. Eternal ice is also pretty slow for me at the moment because I don't have full access to the zone. Still missing alot of the masteries, and it looks like half of the map is inaccesable until I get chapter 2. It just seems far more efficient to do the daily hearts on each character, and while waiting for them to reset farm up a ton of karma so I can afford the currencies each day that way.

And now i'm running into a completely different issue with this farming. Maintaining the karma levels to actually buy the currencies each day. Have 3 seperate characters able to run the hearts in each of the zones so I can buy about 15 per heart vendor to speed up the grind. And in just 3 days of doing this I blew through the 100k stock I had of it. So is there a way to get this stuff really fast so I can continue to buy these currencies? Outside of karmic retribution buffs, don't have enough volatile magic to upgrade any maps past level 1 since I need this for the skyscale saddle materials. So far have Istan and dragonfall all finished for this step, which is good since dragonfall was the most expensive to buy each day, costing around 10k per day.

A mix of that, and just not that many games coming out recently that have really drawn my attention. Not for another month and a half atleast.

Sounds like something i'll try. Which icebrood saga chapter is that in? I've been grabbing the free ones being rerun this past week, but the final free one isn't for another few days. And how repeatable is this method? Is it a once per day, per character thing. Or do the chests respawn? The chests are once per day per account resetting at daily reset(8pm eastern).You need Icebrood Saga Ep 1 and 2 to do it effectively. Having only ep1 would cut down the amount drastically. You also need to have the Essence Masteries maxed to get the most out of the run.In that case, i'll probably just stick to farming each zone and the volatile magic purchases. Don't have episode 2 yet since it hasn't had its free rerun yet. Not for another few days atleast.

Kinda just blew through the story of the zones to reach the start of the skyscale quest beggining. And apparently I need a ton of each maps special currency. About 250 of each. I have about 30-40 of each and wondering what the best way of getting them in a reasonable amount of time would be. Guessing its just run events in each zone until I reach the 250 mark for each. I don't need to hit this number in one day, i'm fine with grinding it out over a few days or a week. Gold and volatile magic I have tons of, so its just the special map specific currency.

Have enough to max it out on a single map at the moment, and wondering which map would give the best return on investment in this regard.

I don't see how something like this would be possible. Not really a hardware issue, but more of a core gameplay problem. How in the world would you get certain classes to be even remotely playable with the limited number of buttons a controller has? I imagine a class like Engineer and elementalist would just flat out be a mess trying to get working with the limited button layout with their different stances and such.

I know the feeling... Internet died out for 10 seconds during the final encounter for one of these chapters a few days ago. Just long enough to disconnect me from the game. I was absolutely pissed.
