Pulled Ring of the Ancestors<

Congrats!

I used to love to loot that chest, even after they modified the tunnels and quest to be harder to do loot runs. I haven't see the ring drop in so long, thought they removed it from the game.

Getting both in one run has always been possible. but not highly probable.

years ago I used to farm Ghola Fan once a day every day for months and only ever pulled 2. I need to stop skipping that quest every life because, not only do I think its a fun quest, but I want 2 more.

Congrats!

Royal Guard Mask is a must have, I farmed it out for my melee, divine and rogue toons.
Amazing quality of life item.

[blerkington]

Congratulations, that's really nice.

I'd never had any luck getting these items either, but had the same back to back pulls of them during a heroic life a while back. Was a good day.

Thanks.

I have one I farmed long ago, and it sits on a mule. With tomes and past lives it's easy to have the umd to scroll it even on melee builds. I could see wanting it on a divine and dumping umd though. On a rogue the umd is a given.

The Royal Guard Mask is ML 11. Teleport scrolls have a UMD of 36. With past lives, tomes, skills tomes, max ship buffs, and the right loot sure it may be possible to get a pure fighter's UMD (or any non-UMD class) high enough to have a percent chance of success to use the scroll at lvl 11, but 12 points of UMD is needed just for a 50% cast chance. Not everyone is going to be able to do that, or want to waste that many scrolls because they keep rolling less than 10.


I've only ever pulled one of these. I keep it in my bank so I can pull it out for whichever low lvl character I'm on just for that quick port to the market.

The Commemorative Stormreach d12 is ML1 with no chance of teleport failure and a pretty fast cooldown.

I used to think this was a non fail item also, but yesterday it did fail and I drifted down above stormreach market. Maybe the percentage is just 1% failure rather than 5% with Royal Guard mask? Of course the mask has several other useful places to teleport that the commemorative item does not. So congratulations to our OP!

The real find in that quest is the staff of seer.

[cdbd3rd]

I keep a stock of Ski Lift Hot Cocoa on hand for those urgent calls home.

It still tastes good in the off-season.

Per Cordo in a discussion about a failure and potential splat down in the marketplace:

Sometimes you roll a 1.

[Gabrael]

I got myself a commemorative 1d12, a key of Eveningstar, and a bottle of Mist, easy transport to anywhere i want. Especially the bottle of mist once ya get that into the mist quest done. In low level the 1d12 is enough o reach easily trainer, bank, and guild airship to then further drop where-ever u want. but once i get into the mist done, the Bavorian tavern is already a tavern for spell swap and repair purposes, but also a few feet away from porting directly to your airship, or near the ES cavern.

Also if you know your map well, and whether where you want to go is closer to the teleporter that the airship door, or if you want to go to your airship but teleporter is nearer, dropping from the airship to the hall of heroes you get a teleporter right next to you, or from a teleporter go to hall of heroes to have the airship door next to you.

You still went to the Market, didn't you? So it's not really a fail... more like corrupt-a-wish.

I'm talking level 7, not level 11. Arti past +3, epic +3, gnome +1, tome +2, +5 from skill points, +2 more from stat tome, +3 more if completionist feat, + 2 more for ship, +3 for a persuasion item.

If you have a farshifter you can use the teleporter directly from the ship. No need to go to Hall of Heroes first. But yeah, coming back to the ship from a teleporter it's super convenient to go through the hall of heroes. Especially if the market isn't already cached, as the hall of heroes loads much quicker.

it actually takes me longer to go inside the ship and reach the teleporter than simply having the captain drop me to the hall of heroes.

When I'm done in the cargo hold and ready to head out, it's the same amount of time to go to the farshifter as it is to go to the captain. If I'm just hopping onto the ship to quickly sell/repair and head out again, it's much faster to go to the farshifter than the captain because I'm already right next to it. (I sell/repair at the cannith crafting amenity, which on our ship is surrounded by the orien express, guild storage, hireling vendors/tavern, and farshifter.) If I'm just using the airship for transportation, where I get on and immediately exit, then yeah, the captain is way faster.

thats where we differ, I don't bother with cargo, i simply grab amenity bar buffs then port from captain, if I need to repair I port to bavoria tavern, then airship, and its still faster than going inside my ship.
