LDoN and tradeskills-fighting for components?

[Tudani]

In 2 Ruj adventures yesterday I got over a stack of goblin bones (with a bunch more dropping that I didn't get). Considering that you only need 1 per combine, and each of these adventures takes a max of 90 minutes that's a lot faster than farming SS for skill ups, not to mention that you get exp and points at the same time. These recpies also from teh people posting trivials with multiple skill levels seem to have a decent skill up rate. But....since all of the smithing at least supposidly trivials <= 215 you only really need to get 17 skill ups from it. (188 - 215). If you stop on the way to do the two freebie points at 210 - 212 that's only 15 skill ups from this stuff. So around 300 - 500 drops depending on the skill up rate. Get friends who exp there anyways to save drops for you, check the vendors outside the camps, and it shouldn't be so bad. Now the ones that are foragable only are gonna be another story I bet.

Um thats 27 skill ups.

I'm picking up my copy of LDoN tonight, so I have zero first hand experience. I was really hoping that there wouldn't be a minimum number of players that could group there (so that my group of one could just go futz around). That kind of sucks.

As far as greenies are concerned, here's my more general question. If I take my level 65 self, and my level 29 druid and a similarly minded level 65 someone with lower level twinkbot, what level would the dungeon be?

It wouldn't be. Group members must be within six or seven levels of each other to get an adventure.

[Furyrpied]

Aye... All members of group must be within 7 (seven) levels from highest to lowest member...

And as for raids?

Every player must have done the dungeon of choice at least 5 (five) times before a raid encounter can be done, then once encounter is finished (success or failure) you can not do the same raid encounter for 5 days....


Quite a ruleset they got set up here....

I suspect most of LDoN will be BYOGroup rather then pick up zones.

Every group that I've been in so far has been pickup. The levels in my guild are all over the place. It's not easy to get 6 people within 7 levels that include some tanks, nukers, crowd control and healers. For me, I'll probably be in far more pick-up groups than guild ones.

To do a raid you have have won in the dungeon 2 times not 5 as previously posted by someone.
