Neverwinter: Elemental Evil Coming to Xbox One in September!

Guess that means we should stop trying to get certain items then? They'll drop down easily in price, or do a certain point where we don't have to drastically do things to get them.

and sweet, I can't wait for the Paladin, I can delete my tank I barely leveled up with.

Guess I better sell that Orb quick!

Also why does this make the Orb obsolete?

Paladin is, and I hope it will continue to be, a free character, you just need a slot to have a character for it.

And the orb may be, it's completely useless as is right now.

Your artifacts will be ok, settle down. This content introduces a higher level than "legendary" for enchantments and artifacts: Mythic. I don't play the PC version enough to have arti weapons/belt/cloak yet, but at the very least, you can feed the lvl 60 versions into any new stuff you get and all the refinement points you've dumped into it carry over. also, with this release, all endgame content scales up to lvl 70. i'd imagine that includes armor drops from the dungeons.

on another note, do any of you play any other MMOs? this happens in, quite literally, every one of them. new expansion comes out, makes even "endgame" gear useless after 1 or 2 levels in the new content.

If you haven't read the thread I posted on here, start working on getting your HP/Crit/ and Arm Pen up as high as you can.

You'll be getting one shotted left and right when we grind our way up to 70

I didn't say to get the stuff up to over 6-7k right away, i'm saying to start stocking up on items that will help with it. You thought grinding to 60 was hard? This will test your patience big time if you can work your way up.

And endgame, you are given the main/off hand by general and lord from what the man says. i'm taking the advice he's given, I don't need the tiamats orb, it's useless for my CW and SW, it might be good on my paladin but i'd rather see what ineed for him when it's time to make it. Pallys will be the new TR or HR, we'll be seeing a lot of them, specially at 60-70 range, buffs and heals galore from one shots.

bloodaxe the answer to your question is no and end game gear will only start to be affected in elemental evil areas as all the other areas and campaigns are below the end game content that we have or will be scaled up to lvl 60 to 65 on mods 1,2,3 so your equipment atm is nowhere near obsolete so you can either keep grinding the artifacts you have now or go straight to the new ones the choice is yours.

Do we have any numbers on exp required from 60-70 for instance the large exp boost woukd basically net you double exp to almost 1-60, I'll be curious as I plan on starting and maining a paladin day 1

61-70 takes as long as 1-60 does. We'll probably get the PC's version of the large xp boost when EE drops. like the current xp boost that's $50, it basically gives you double xp until you hit 70.

I meant time involved, not by the numbers.

I guess it would depend on your playstyle. You could most certainly do 60-70 in a week if you hit it hard for 5 or 6 hours a night. I can do 1-60 without a boost in less than a week, but once I get into the leveling mindset, I don't usually slow down and do other things with my time logged in (I don't bother with the AH, or campaigns, or crafting, etc.) I personally will, most likely, buy an xp boost unless a double xp weekend is announced for EE launch. So my OP will probably hit 70 in time with most of the guild hitting 70 on their "main" characters.

Another thing worth mentioning: aside from the Dragon campaigns, all of the other campaigns are designed to be done at max level. When mods 1, 2, and 3 were launched on PC, that was 60. All of those areas are now scaled for lvl 70. I'd imagine that's not changing for the xbox launch. So, if you're chomping at the bit to head into Icewind Dale, or the Dread Ring, prepare yourself to level to 70 first!

Crafting won't be useless, just keep leveling them up.

Personalized Adamant or something rings of piercing give your armor pen and power +190something than what you have now.

Max level for professions is 25 in the next update.
