Heor'Otor

[Shizoku]

Looking for suggestions on evolving items that I can transfer exp. over to the Heor...Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Please feel free to PM me instead of posting it if you would like.

Thank you,

Shizoku

Evolving item XP transfer is pretty restricted by item.

is the quest.

[Shizoku]

Aye, I know. Thank you.

A little more info.

[Shizoku]

Much appreciated. So you pretty much have to level it a few levels regardless...only gives you one freebie level if you figure a compatible item.

Thanks again,

Shiz

I'm not sure about Heor`Otor, but Blade of the Eclipse gave my MMM Evolving Neck 64%ish IIRC into level 1. I also bought a Skymaul, and that was NOT compatible with my neck (it offered me no experience transfer).

There are some good places to grind tho. If you can get 3 toons to join a group with you, the stonemites in Skylance: The Oubliette are pretty solid xp (was ~3-5% solo per whole clearing of them - takes about 5 mins to clear if that). Can instantly drop and re-request the instance. Might need some heals to maintain tho.

[Yoda]

didn't they change the way tiem XP is transfered so that a single item can't receive XP from more than one other item ? so if you transfered the BBotE to your neck before checking the skymaul transfert, it would explain everything.

[Tohkin]

Perhaps, because that is how it went down. The Neck was at 64% after using up the BotE exp, and it wouldn't take anything from Skymaul at this point

[Tohkin]

Bump - Finally got my Heor`Otor and so far it seems its 5 levels are each taking as long as 1 level of the other evolving items (neck, mask, etc.) so I'm in for quite a grind. Anyone got a favorite spot for level 85 now that the Stonemites are green/grey'd out? Any suggestions would be great, I've got a few places in mind but have yet to test anything. Send me a PM if you don't want to post your spot and I'll keep it to myself if you'd like. Thanks!

[Dinekus Aleswig]

One of my cleric friends just got an evolving neck from crystallos and was still able to use Skylance 2 to level it up, its slightly slower as you only get 1-2% per clear instead of 3% per clear now but it still works and may still be he fastest route given how fast you can chain it.

[Tohkin]

thanks for the quick reply. I was planning on checking that one out again to see how it would fare, but I'm at work atm :) Now, hopefully my merc can zone in so I can leave cleric bot at the mission giver.

[Mendler]

Grats on Heor! I would have your cleric bind at the quest giver and put up a camp at zone in if you can. You will want to drop everyone from the group and just go to town with your cleric bot out of group healing you. Keep all the exp on your war so you are able to level up faster.

[Dinekus Aleswig]

You shouldn't even need a healer, when I leveled mine i just left the cleric outside the ZI and the bard at the quest giver. If you are careful and avoid the roamers, you should take very little damage and you can just heal yourself up before going back in again.

[Zogbull]

Has anyone been able to confirm that this is a good area to level an evolving item at 85? I am being told HoH is another decent spot as well.

[shirmar]

Could try monituars in dsh they die fast, i did some there for my heor i also spent alot of time in beza and that seemed pretty descent aswell. Took me acouple weeks only about 3 days of the week being able to grind.

The thing is the lower the lvl the mob the more ya have to kill for a % i also found that obf was pretty fast too.

Skylance 2. you can thank me later.

[Sumador]

So to evolve items at 85, the Skylance 2 (Skylance: The Oubliette) is a good place and the only thing you have to kill is all the creeping swarmers?

I am getting some information since I am still hoping and planning to get an Heor`Otor and I hope I get it evolve faster than it took me to evolve the neck piece.

[Tohkin]

Yeah, Oubliette and the creeping swarmers 4tw even at 85. The way I did it: Monk bot (can be any class) parked at instance giver, cleric and I at the zone in. Grab an instance, drop cleric from group, zone in, pull the swarmers and heal as necessary (main issue was the light blues aggroing occasionally that require heals). Right as the final group of them is dying I drop instance on all three characters, re-invite cleric to group, get new instance with toon at Ao, and drop cleric from group again. Then I zone out and the new instance is ready so I can zone right back into to (no "magical presence" to slow me down).

It would take me around 4-6 mins to clear the 30-35ish swarmers and net me 2-3% XP for my Heor`Otor. Definitely very fast, but boring and tedious :)

[Mendler]

Does lesson increase the exp that goes to the evolving item? I would hope so but I'm just grasping at straws here.

[aspit]

No it does not.

[Mendler]

Yeah I thought so but I had to ask, thanks.

[Novmeger]

I have this weapon. I actually did level 3 - 4 in MPG at lvl 84. light blues.. 1% for every 10 kills. went fast in there. level 5 taking longer.

[Sumador]

One more question, How often this weapon drops? We got our first one yesterday and a monk got it (not enougth DKP on me), so wanted to know how much do I really have to wait for another one to drop?

[aspit]

Our drop rate on Tjudawos is about 1 ever 2 kills. Same with Kera.

[Dinekus Aleswig]

It is a complete crap shoot on drop rate, we have gotten a total of 6 from a combined 30ish Fire/Kera kills putting us at about 1/5 in average.

[shirmar]

I guess it is all over i still dont understand some people and why they loot things over others. The monks bst have 2 weapons in there and to take a weapon with chaotic strike from a war is sad to hear. Someone should smack his ass for that.

As for the drop we are 1-5 right now on heor.

[Dragonspawnkilr]

I have the mask from crystallos and i found the best place to lvl it was in Field of Scale. The weak blue mobs at the enterence can be solo'd very fast and with out heals. It takes me about 25-30 seconds per mobs and alot of the time i get chain killing spree. I can get 10%ish per hour killing there. When i get down to 35% health with cripples it goes faster, and when i get to 15-20% i pop a hot pot. I also ride a lon mount and battle leap around to reduce the time between mobs.

[Sumador]

Shirmar, I agree and I wanted to kill the Bard that was bidding on it too, but what can you do.

With respect to the drop rate, well then I will get mine in about 2 to 6 weeks depending if I get the luck of Aspit or the luck of Dinekus. My bet is I will get the same luck as Dinekus since we are in the same server.

Sometimes you have to take what you can get. My guild has had horrible drop rates on h2h weapons (and all 1handers in general). So, the only raid weapon I've managed to get in 4 months is the 1hb from Rottrued (veeery slow, and sub-optimal). And heck, I only got that since an influential warrior helped convinced other WARs not to add it to their dps setup.

So, while that may not be the case for your guild, it's can readily be the case.

GL on further drops.

This may be all fine and dandy, and may be more your style I guess, but if you get into the groove of doing the Skylance mission, you will be getting about 3x that XP per hour (25-30% per hour was my rate I think, maybe even a bit higher). Honestly if you have access to a bot or two (one to leave at the task giver) this will be the way to go. Mercs aren't allowed inside, but if you're careful with pulls to avoid the light blues, you won't need heals. You can use the merc for your 3rd person in order to request the task if worse comes to worst. Probably tons easier than FoS too. You just can't beat the Skylance mission for evolving xp

[aspit]

We had one rot last night lol. They drop like candy for us.

[Mendler]

I'm going to try the Skylance 2 now since MPG is pathetic and FoS is too. DSH is just as bad.

I got a Heor and I'm only 10% into my first lvl (I hate evolving items)! We are 1 in 4 I think.

I have two items that I'm lvling up at the same time unfortunately. Is it best to just bag one so I can focus on Heor to get it lvled up quickly?

[Ginawa]

Id def focus on the weapon first.

[aspit]

If you have 2 evolving items on at a time they split evolving exp. So the level up 50% as fast as if you would be equiping only 1 item.

[Vaynequish]

I did mine a Modifyed way from the way most people do it. Three people in group, one person a quest giver, one person at instance zone line outside (Mine was a shaman for reference) and my Warrior.

Buff wise all i had going into the instance was Shaman buffs(Including regen and Listeness). Zone just the Warrior. Kill all the mites(DS Clickys and Pots FTW), I tryed not to get adds by looking at what room didn't have the LB mobs in them first then clearing those out at the begining, worked out fairly well, if i got an add I would kill it, if I got 2 adds on the rare occasion i'd Disc and shield topple his ass to death in 10 secs or so. Drop the instances after all three rooms were cleared, Zone out on warrior, Reget instance on parked toon. Rise and repeat. I never really needed a heal when i zoned out unless i had 2 LB adds hitting on me for 30+ secs, The regen and Listeness will keep up with the adds DPS n/p.

All and all if i was doing it as fast as possible i could clear the 3 rooms in two minutes if no adds, 3mins + W/adds. Averaging around 30-40% Evloving exp a hour.

[Mendler]

Holy crap thats awesome. I'm going to give this a shot since I have a warrior/shammy duo.

Why not take your shammy into the instance, out of group, and just hot and cougar/linx so you can kill faster and longer?

[Zerapheus]

I got a Heor and I'm only 10% into my first lvl (I hate evolving items)! We are 1 in 4 I think.

Gratz!! I know you've been fiending for a new weapon for quite some time now. We haven't had any Heor's drop yet, but we did get a Stra'hazir on our first Kerafym kill.

[Brokkah Narrow]

We just had one drop on our first kill of TJ, went to a ranger :(

[Worlaen]

grats nick can't wait till i get one.....still no pisc though 1-15 now

[Mendler]

Thanks guys. Just to let people know that skylance 2 is the best option I have seen by far. Thanks for all the advice on this guys.

[Dragonspawnkilr]

I passed on a Heor last night when i though about it i would rather have a Sod warrior weapon. And then use it and Pisc, want to get ache for a dps weapon and just dmg aug it since its fast del.

You realize heor is superior to any of the warrior weapons pre tower on an all around basis right? Superior dps and far more than adequate aggro. Oh and heroics to match.

Was to much of a PITA to zone my shaman and warrior into the same instance when they were being boxed on the same comp, I 3 Box on the same comp, was alot faster for me to leave him outside to Listeness/heal me when needed.

[Rildoan]

If SOE remains unchanged on their expansion release schedules we're not going to see new content for at least seven months. You can get Heor max evolved in seven months, maybe less.

[Suurge]

lol . .. did Heor in 8 hours at level 80. It's great for stat padding as well as the above-mentioned reasons. For any wars losing these to someone other than another warrior, it might be time to find yourself a new guild, cuz either your loot system is fucked, your guild leader is a windowlicker, or your guildmates are greedy douchebags who clearly havent planned out their upgrade paths. Grow a pair, ninja loot the shit, and server xfer. You can loot it and be off the server all in under 5 minutes.

[Mendler]

No one bid against me but I think everyone knew my agro was suffering so therefore I needed it. My guild/RL/officers/other warriors take care of war crew bc they know we need agro.

Skylance 2 flat out rocks. I got 1 lvl done in 2 hours and I could of done better. There is NO need to zone any other toon into the instance so I was wrong even asking. I kill one of the three rooms and pull the second while I /taskquit. This gives me exactly enough time to pull the third room and not worry about killing the lb mobs.

I'll get my Heor lvled in a couple weeks at the longest because my play time sucks.

I just left my old guild Pravus Mortis on dro, their first one went to a bst. Im glad im gone.

Yes, not really, a good percentage yes. /laff

[Brokkah Narrow]

So does anyone have any items that are confirmed to work with xp transfer to Heor`Otor?

[Yoda]

all items works during XP transfert, the only limitation is that you can do only one transfert.

[Brokkah Narrow]

OK cool, time to bazaar surf for something then :)

[Razox]

how far can you take Heor with XP transfers?

[Zerapheus]

just to lvl 2 (Heor'otor the Earthen Waste). I used the evolving ring from Crystallos (group) which I had maxxed - worked with no problem.

the rest of the time was mindless (but fast) grinding in Skylance 2 ... my god, is that boring ... so wanted to put a bullet into my braincase, even though it was well worth it. :lol:

[Brokkah Narrow]

I used a Blade of the Eclipse which gave 66% of level 1. I then tried to use a fully evolved Skymaul which wouldnt work so now its grind time.

[Mendler]

Grats you two! The dps and agro is awesome!
