My 100 favor build

[nanobot1994]

This is my first post even though Ive been here for around 5months, so please be forgiving if im breaking some forum rules (grammar, spelling, presentation, etc.)

This thread is mainly for me to ask advice for my 100 favor dasher build.

16 str
14 dex
14 con
10 int
12 wis

fighter, so it'll be around Lev by the time i get to 100 favor and re-roll

I think the str, dex, and con are self explanatory while i got 10 int for the skill points and the 12 wis for my spot
this is probably going to be solo half the time exempt for the odd elite i cant complete.

If you need more info please ask

Thank you for your time.

EDIT: the feats

lev1
weapon prof. slashing
2 handed fighting
Diehard

lev2
power attack

Thats my level at the moment - just making up the feats as i go along

Im a big fan of 1 rouge then ranger till you hit 100 favor instead and you can instead take the 2 points from wis and put them into int for more skill points and just max spot from the go and be better off then the plus 1 you getting with wis 12 this allows you to not only spot the trap but also disarm it and makes soloing hard elite much easier for you especially if your willing to throw in a 9 gold healer hireling i usualy sell the iteam from heytons and imediatly buy one after stepping onto the island.

If you get to level 3 you get 2nd ranger level and Twf for free use whatever wep ya took and i try to find a dagger for off hand. spend your gold to always keep the highest level clr hireling you can have with you and it will be ez and the hireling is vastly cheaper then buying pots if your going to solo and if your willing to micro manage it always has enough oomph.

Also having ranger means you can use a CL wand at level 2 to top yourself off after a fight also easier on your resources as i dont know how many times you have rerolled and if you mail the cash to yourself over and over .
i honestly find that when i do this the hireling plus me is plenty for anything that we run into but your results may vary .

When soloing, saves are important. 1 hold person can be your end. Than I would take paladin. On the other hand, getting favor fast is easier with a group that does all elites. I see these groups often in the lfm window. A strength-based cleric or favored sole would make you more desired by these groups and you can solo great as well.

In the early levels I allways have trouble hitting stuff, so I never take power attack that early.

[nanobot1994]

Thanks for the replys, much appreciated

Well im doing similar to what you guys said, sold the bracers and got a hire and its working great

First i did Cannith Crystal on norm, sold the reward and got a cleric
Then Cannith on Hard
Storehouse up to hard
Heytons on hard
Collab up to hard
Stopping up to hard
Necro up to hard
Sacrifices up to hard
Redemption up to hard

Probably going to skip MP if I dont find an elite group for it

Then just all the easy quests till i get to lev4
Finish korthos on elite

Bringing up to elite
Durks up to elite
Kobold Assault on the lowest setting needed

Im aware that this isnt as fast a Robi's list but it suits my pace.
Any suggestions?

[7-day_Trial_Monkey]

Paladin is the best 100 favor dasher. You get lay on hands, you can use cure wands, you have excellent saves, you can dps.

[nanobot1994]

Ok thanks for the replys, im going to reply as soon as i get a paladin build, do you have one suited for the 100point dash? So im guessing it would be very strong early on but worse as time passes.

Thank you for your time.

Not sure how much this will help since I have Vet status unlocked, but here's my runner. I make it as easy as possible thru a combination of uber twink equipment and build.

I also use a pally, but it would be gimped in any quest except the ones it's built to run. For example my build has only a 6 cha which would be stupid for almost any other build of pally. I built it almost like a barbarian with healing. It can rip thru the quests I have listed in the posts and not break a sweat (except maybe on walk the butchers path).

Now maybe something I can help ya with. Why wouldn't you go ahead and run Heyton's rest and the Store House's Secret on up to elite? Both of those quests should be really easy for a well built lvl 1 to do, especially with a hireling healbot. Also, keep the bracers of aid that you get from the Cannith Crystal. Those things are life savers. At the early levels they can easily increase your HP by 1/3. Also, be sure to pick up a pair of the axe block bracers. The Sewagan (sp?) use spears but they do slashing damage. 3 less damage is pretty big when you only have 30 or so HP.

I know you mentioned pace already, but you're really running the long way around by doing quests like Necro and Sacrifices, but not quests like the The Kobold’s New Ringleader and Defend Haverdasher. Also, I would skip Kobold Assault all together, unless you're a masochist and even then, therapy would probably be a lot less stressful :D

You can find a list of all the F2P quests and there corresponding favor amounts here (you probably know this already tho :) )

ok, sure, have a list of quests? i know robi has one but id prefer to avoid the path..... too much work :D.

Here's my list

The Cannith Crystal - 6
The Store House’s Secret - 6
Heyton’s Rest - 6
The Collaborator -12
Stopping the Sahuagin - 9
Defend Haverdasher - 6
Durk’s Got a Secret - 12
Garrison’s Missing Pack - 12
Information is Key - 12
The Kobold’s New Ringleader - 12
Bring the Light - 6
Arachnophobia - 2

That's assuming a completion of each on elite. Also remember that you don't have to complete each quest on N,H,E you can do a few on normal, level up, then come back and do them again on hard once you're a higher level. Really tho I can't recommend enough, running one character to a high enough level to reach vet status. A lvl 4 runner will work much much faster for this. Also, if you have an immediate goal (like if you have a pack you want now) you could always make one player per server, run him up to 5 favor and get 50 free points (only works once tho per sever) this will net you 200-300 points very quickly to help jump start things.

I found a human cleric with great axe and mental toughness is pretty easy, focus more on str and con then wis. People always want clerics in there groups, so it goes a little faster, and the great axe means you dont need to mess around with weapons, just take the flaming axe. Mental Toughness is 2 more spells.

Arachnophobia is horrible. If you want a quick and easy solo then either do Miller or the sewer doggie run with Scrag. Heck even Explosive Situation is preferable. If you are man enough to resist smashing the barrels.;)

Garrison can get a bit tiresome with all its running and especially that damned Furor dog and his trips, also that fricken endboss on Ringleader can easily one hit you if you´re too squishy and a bit unlucky. The two Lay on hands saved my Paladin ass more than once with that bastich.
The Sunken Sewer(9TP) in the Marketplace and Recovering The Lost Tome(9TP) on the Harbor Lighthouse can be good substitutes, when you add some more solo quest in.

Oh and please guys join the 100 Dash team (http://forums.ddo.com/showthread.php?t=212796) on Thelanis. But you will have to approach this whole thing a bit more efficiently.

How you really run the 100 dash is by having a high-level character on ANOTHER account!
Then Dual-clienting, so the runner then schleps the favor dummy on your main account through the quests immediately on elite difficulty.

I have a nice human paladin at only level7, who has practically no problems with them all. She´s even halfway to level 9, but I´m waiting with the level up to get more xp from all the missing level2&3 quests I didn´t do on elite yet.
Actually the undead hunter prestige is quite a boon on the undead quests.

Ah, and here´s my Pala build for the OP.

Note the Force of Personality feat.
It really delivers here, as it gives you so much better Will saves against the **** Shaman Hold Persons.
The only real killer when soloing.

In hindsight I must say that Intelligence 8 and Dexterity 10 wasn´t my best idea.
Should´ve done it the other way around, really starting to miss the skillpoints.

I have an alternate account (on cannith the server my main is on) that has a lvl 12 Pally on it (that's the account we use as an elite unlocker), and she can tear thru the quests pretty quickly, but I find it's much more fun, and almost as fast to run my uber twinked lvl 4 thru them. I really need to test out the sunken sewer and lost tome to see if it runs faster.

[ivar415]

When you mix it up with those last two, don´t forget to spec your favor dummy as a Thief with somewhat high Intelligence(16ish). Tome needs it to disable the lightning traps and open a chest. On Sewer(left hand non-rogue dungeon part) you can open the spider part and get some more loot. Though the spiders are tough on my poor Pala7. Especially when the boss spawns. :(

Maybe I should get the **** missing lvl3 quests done and finally level up some. :)

Though currently I´m leveling a new char on the Thelanis server to finally join the 100 dash team there. Having more people work together and make that 100 favor in a quarter the time I can manage by my lonesome self is much too good to pass up.

[Purgatory]

Saves are pointless at low levels.... They never high enuf to realy save you in the long run... Buy a trinket for a few k plat dont use it during korthos or vs arcane archers (to keep from using up the charges) and you will have 20 SR that 100 times better in the harbor then any save you can manage to muster up.

For favor grinding 100 favor.... why do you neeed rog?????? your not completing every optional and killing every mob.... get er done get er done fast and move on.

[nanobot1994]

I finally got the STK and just killed the end boss on casual (yes, cheap, but ive heard hes VERY strong). Now im gonna just relax and actually PLAY for a week, favor running is boring as hell. Ill follow your planner zarious but with a few adjustments for my play-style. Thanks guys :D.
