Gingerspyce's week in videos: Dragonborn project: the early levels

[Vooduspyce]

I've been having lots of fun playing Dragonborn for the first time. They are such a good looking, flavorful race and a fun enhancement tree that is nice for a variety of casters and melees, especially those that want to add some defensiveness to their builds, which is very nice to have in reaper mode!


Episode 1: Level 3 - R1 Captives

Here I introduce my plans for the series. I begin life one of the series with only 3 reaper points, so I'm not starting with much there. In life one I'm doing my regular druid build, adapted for Dragonborn. In lives 2 and 3 I will be doing something different. This series captures my first experiences in heroic reaper on my favorite druid build. In episode 1 I solo The Captives on reaper 1 skull. All three lives and every video of the series will be reaper questing!




Episode 2: Level 6 - R2 Troglodytes' Get

Three Barrel cove was given a makeover a few years back and now it's some of the best xp in the game for its level range. In episode 2 I solo Troglodytes' Get (aka Garl's Tomb part 1) on reaper 2 skulls.


Episode 3: Level 8 - R2 Tharashk Arena (VON 1)

The end fight in this one can be rough and it certainly was a bit of a struggle for me to solo. Mana conservation on a druid can be tricky in low levels, and even with all my gear and past lives I had to drink a few pots to get this one done.


Episode 4: Level 9 - R4 Giant Lieutenants and The Giants' Lair

Giant wha? Whose lair? Did you know that there were some quests that aren't in the adventure compendium? There are 4 mini quests that are off the beaten path in the Threnal wilderness zone. They are very quick quests and don't give much regular xp but 3 of them give full reaper xp! In episode 4 I run a couple of the quests with some guildies. If you didn't know about these little gems, be sure not to miss them as you're heroic leveling through levels 9 and 10!


Episode 5: Level 10 - R3 Reclamation

I have always loved Ataraxia. Reclamation can be a hard hitting quest for an unsuspecting newbie. Soloing it on reaper 3 skull at level 10 was a challenge! Here I take on hoards of Duergar and get to see how my defenses stand up in mid heroic levels. Once again I had to drink a few mana pots to get the job done, but I got the W!


It is so cool that hundreds of people around the world are following the series and it has been a lot of fun to hear from some of you! Thank you for all the great comments. I know that some of you really look forward to the series that I do and I have so much fun putting them together and sharing them with you. I am quite a bit further along with Gingerspyce than the current episodes would suggest. I have captured some thrilling moments that I look forward to sharing with you in upcoming episodes!

Lastly, I will be a guest on DDOcast this Sunday, April 23 where the topic will be an Update 35 review and discussion of the new raid Riding the Storm Out!

Much love,
