Level 70+ adventuring

We all know how hard the last stretch from level 70 to 80 is - so I'd like to check here with people who's interested in getting something together for the guild to get our characters up that last bit - specifically by coordinating the harder group quests and instances!

So if you want to help putting groups together, please list yourselves if you are in this range, your character and level and what times would be good for you! Anyone level 80 who wishes to help and just have a fun time with guildies is of course more than welcome as well! I'm thinking mostly of the group quests/instances/Onyx runs in Kheshatta and Atzels, as well as the repeatable borderland instances (Oasis of Zaara, Imirian Ravine, Frost Swamps) if we need people to get up to level for everyone to do the other quests.

So, starting the list:

Rhonius, 72 Priest of Mitra (can make almost any evening and can bring 80 guardian instead if needed)

Avalantes, 68 Demonologist (weekends)

Not exactly 70 but soon there i hope...

Thurgon's a bit of a distance away, but if I have time I might help on my lvl 80 - alts.
Needs a good team for some though. Minimum 2 tanks, 1 healer and 2 DPS (heavyhitters like Demo or Necro-nightfall)

Crashi!

Aye, I know what's needed for the hardest of those places.

However, good team spirit and ability to work together as well as having fun will be my main priority for these groups - not if we have one too many healers instead of dps, or too many tanks.

As long as we have a tank and a healer, we can do quite a lot of things. The idea here is not to be über, but to have fun and to welcome as many Templari as we can regardless of class and get done what we can. With time we'll probably become a good PVE team either way but we got to start easy.

Vanaja - 73 Shammy

RVannith - 77 Barb

Should work up my demo soon, she's trailing

Edit: note that the next patch gives us more 70+ quests in the Common District

Alright so far we got:

Rhonius - 73 Priest of Mitra/Leoric 80 guardian
Avalantes - 68 Demonoglist
Rashi - 73 Assassin
Vanaja - 73 Bear Shaman/Rvannith - 77 Barbarian
Thurgon - (?)

Looks like we could really use a tank here.

Hmm Thurgon is still too far away. Lvl 57 atm. Depending on when, I could maybe get my DT tank to help out. No guarantees though. On the other hand, apped Thurgon could probably offtank a little.
Hmm some stuff to think about

No rush Thurgon - we'll probably still be struggling towards 80 by the time Thurgon gets into this range - unless the new commons areas make all this a lot easier.

I'll put you up as a maybe/reserve for now then depending on your alts and time available and such.

Rhonius - 73 Priest of Mitra/Leoric - 80 guardian
Avalantes - 68 Demonoglist
Rashi - 73 Assassin
Vanaja - 74 Bear Shaman/RVannith - 77 Barbarian

Reserves/Maybes:
Thurgon - 57 Conqueror/ Alt - 80 Dark Templar

I need to get a few more levels on Acredius but definitely something I'll take part in once I reach the range. For now he's still 65 though.

*whip whip* Get on it, we need you!

Ava is now level 71 and rising slowly but steadily.

The brothers are in for this.

Sarxas is a great DPS at lvl 80. Also his brother (my alt) Oggazy lvl 78 guardian is ready to assist, thus he still is in Pilgrims of Wizdom but put him up on friends list!

Both sarxas and Oggazy have access to Xib and as player I do have experience from vistrix, Yakamar, onyx, hall of Frost, Fortress in Aztels Bathunting in the backyard of Keshatta etc...

Ah, forgot this thread.
A big help to me was the slaughterhouse for the last few bits. I got about 800K XP per run (took me about an hour) and is on a 4 hour cooldown like the villas.

Vanaja is 80 by now, RVannith still on 77, NVranya closing in at 67 now. All are available when needed.

I'd offer my guardian to tank, but I'd much rather get my priest up.
Working on it!

After tomorrow's patch, we'll also have the Tarantia Commons to explore! Supposedly there's a bunch of solo level 75+ quests there!

*bites fist at not being able to play tomorrow*

Well the old bear is now 73 and a bit so I'm hoping to go to teh commons to explore and play but....

I need more group work!

Havnt been in a group since I was 40 something and I'd love to group with people on the old bear to relearn healing....

*gets down and begs for group invites*

Also I can put foward the use of Dillon as well as tanking practise is always welcome!

Don't think you'll miss out on much. I suspect extended maintenance and lots of patches with hotfixes.



... Yes, I always expect the worst case scenario so anything else is easier to cope with.

Of course, the little bear is always happy to tag along. Sadly Bjornia is my only level 80 but, hopefully I'll have a lvl80 DT sooner or later ^.^' From tomorrow he will miraculously be lvl50 and skipped 20 levels in the process. Wow, magic!

All bear are free to poke either of my top 2 chars. RV will be exploring CD tomorrow and I go to bed with faith in my heart that it will all go well!

Heh I feel the old bear has been booked to help a certain lass of his to find some new clothes in santum and fotd as she'll be aging over night!

And I too have high hopes for tomorrow.

Maybe we should think about having a level 50 levelling group starting? So our ranks are swelled with a good selection of level 80 alts who know how to play together in the future?

That is a sound plan.. Will have to think of what type of character jump to 50.

Hah! Nola's booked the old bear *smirks* She can't be going around naked (although he'd probably like that!)... So she needs some neat clothing and perhaps a 40-50ish polearm!

Yep, so it's decided that my lvl 50 will my Guardian. I am terrified to tank in this game though, being that it's so completely different from anything I have experienced before. Wouldn't get it past it, I just need to get the hang of it and learn.

My only other char is my lvl 61 Demonologist, but I have absolutely NO intentions of rushing through levels. At all. I've been burned out by doing this on my previous game, so I'm completely taking my time on AoC with levels.

*offers tanking lessons*
It's not hard really, just some tricks
