F2P Questions

[Blyxx10]

Ok Ive thought long and hard on these questions...ok only a few minutes but what the heck eh?

1)Favor,earning Favor to get Turbine Points seems a good idea but realisticly without buying Packs how long would it take to get 2k Points?

2)Milestones,Ive heard talk of Favor Milestones along the lines of 5,10,25,50 and 100.What exactly are these Milestones?

3)What are the 3 key Packs to Buy in order to make it to Mid Teens?I know Deleras Tomb but what others?

4)Weapons and Armor,ok this is one that has confounded me for some time.I go to the AH and I see weapons and armor that are more then just the +1.+2 etc...Frost,Shock,Flaming,Mobility etc and etc.Ive run up to 6th level on one toon and 4th on the other and have not seen any of those Drop in F2P Quests is that a common thing?

5)Economy,I know this is a bit of a touchy issue but really for new players its a concern.I see items posted in the AH for exorbinant(sp?)amounts of platinum...+2 Studded Leather Armor for 60k Gold how the heck are ppl even making that much Gold?

1) long, very long
2) too lazy to search those now, someone else will answer
3) delaras, tangleroot and the sand of menechtarun are all good midlvl ones
4) good items usualy drop at higher levels as a quest gives max questlvl-3 lvl loot and the more effetcs an item has, the higher its level is
5) ppl dont have that much gold, they try to scam the new players. noone will by a +2 armor for 60k gold. for making gold in general, it comes in while playing the game

1.) Depends on how much you play time wise.

2.) The milestones you are talking about are Server First TP for Favor rewards.
favor.........TP reward
5................50
25...............25
50...............25
500..............50
1000.............100
2000..............100
3000..............100

In addition to the once per server rewards each character on an account may earn Turbine point favor rewards at the rate of 25 TP for every 100 favor earned.

3.) Vale of Twilight, Demon Sands, Gianthold, Deleras are all decent packs for gear and xp.

4.) As you get higher level doing higher level quests you will see them as quest rewards and eventually in chests as well. Your level 6 should be seeing them as quest rewards.

5.) +2 Studded Leather Armor for 60k gold is a suckers bet. Someone is trying to feed off the new people that don't know of the Pawn shops in Marketplace, House D, and House K.

Edit: To go into question 1 some more.

There are 7 servers.
If you roll up 1 character on each server and get the quick 100 Favor on that character will net you: 875 TP.
2000-875= 1,125 not earned you're after.

If you roll up 1 character on each server and go unlock Drow on each server 400 Favor, then for the fun of it since the next server first is 500 we go to there.
That's 275 per character giving you: 1,925 TP.
2,000-1925 = 75 TP off.
Roll up 3 characters and get 100 3 times for the other 75 and you get the 2000 TP you were after.

Time wise is how much you group and how much you do elites, etc. It's all personal time basis imo.

Pretty sure my math is right.

What about the packs? If I buy one with TP, will it only apply to one toon? Or can all of my toons use it? I just bought the one toon per server offer with the TP I've racked up so far. I'm wondering how much bang for TP I'll get if I buy the packs instead of just doing the f2p quests.

[Visty]

what yoiu buy is for your whole account, all servers

[Ingemar]

Sweet.

That means that if I have toons on all servers, the packs will actually help me to regain the TP! Thanks for the reply.
