I wanted to say thanks for the invite and the warm welcome. Before taking a leave of action for about 1 year was part of Eqlipse for a lil while. Was a great bunch of people. Within 2 days of my return to EQ2 Prodigus sent me a tell, told me a bit about IR and sent me an invite. Much needed in such a world of change. Has been fun watching some of you over the Guild Channel and getting to know some of you. Today, well now Yest, Smitty grouped up with me in the Jungle. Was a nice little adventure and always nice to make new friends. Afterwards Smitty was nice enough to take me on a tour of the Guild House and show me the ins and outs. As my lil Rat ran thru the place in awe I did my best to keep my fingers to themselves. But so many sparklies.. You guys did a wonderful job on the GH. Was hoping that a few of you might clear something up for me as well. There have been some changes since my leave and am a little in the dark. I undestand most of TSO with the normal questing, the crafting writs, daily group quests and solo weekly quests for crafting. Two things have turned my head in wonder. With TSO it shows that there are zones in previous areas that adjust to levels 50-80. Are they more group instances, Raid zones or part of something else? Also what are these things refered to as DD in chat channels? Sounds as if they are daily quests but the only thing I have found in the forums on daily quests is for the group crafting quests. Thanks ahead of time.
Hello Fabien, and welcome to IR =) The zones that scale in level are group instances in Everfrost as well as Lavastorm. I believe those are the only 2 but if I'm wrong I'm sure someone will correct me. As for the DD, it is what's known as the daily double. In TSO in each of the various group instances you can earn Void Shards. The void shards can be turned in to merchants to buy armor, jewelry or other various items. You can also commission crafters to make this armor and jewelry for you at a lower void shard cost than the merchants if they have the books to do it. The Daily Double is a quest you recieved from a Rahjeeb (or something like that) in Moors of Ykesha and it offers you 2 void shards instead of just one like the daily missions grant. This mission will typically be to kill the end named in one of the group instances. So instead of going into an instance only with a mission for 1 void shard, you're going into an instance with 2 missions for 3 void shards. Sometimes however, the "daily double" is only a single shard reward. I think that is still a little bugged.
Befallen (CL): Three instances, will scale down to L50. Deep Forge/Najena's Hollow Tower (LS): Two instances, will scale to L50. Miragul's Phylactery (EF): Three instances, will scale down to L... 50, I think, maybe only 60 though) stuff in Somborn Village (LP): Four? instances, will only scale down to L70. Instances off Moors of Ykesha -- Don't think they scale down at all.
Good to see ya back Fabienz. I've been a bit busy in light of the holidays but will be back on soon for some rat lovings!
