Axel's DDO Channel
США
Добавлен 12 дек 2013
This channel is dedicated to the online game Dungeons and Dragons Online, also known as DDO (www.ddo.com). In my videos I give my thoughts, tips and opinions on the game. The channel is a solo show I do in my own free time and comes from the point of view of a long time DDO player. I cover news, strategies, hot topics, and all kinds of other aspects of DDO.
If you want to find me in game, my main character's name is Akksol and I play on the Thelanis server. You can also contact me through the DDO.com forums, my username is axel15810.

Is VIP Worth it in 2024? Crunching the Numbers
Yes, we need this for us new players.

Keep them going !
The sexy bald man of DDO
Life sealed can save your butt. Especially during Night Revels.
yeah, I may keep that item around a bit for undead quests just in case I want it.
didnt DDO have a ellite opening thing? at least during turbine days. you COULD have some fun with it tho, place the helmet on TOP of the dragon's head and strap it down with comical straps under the chin?
AH best time to hit is Sunday nights, weekend players will post more, and that's usually late enough to get last bids in, that being said if lacking a particular item hit it daily.
Love this content. We need more videos like this for noobies who come to moms, especially these kind of heavy learning curve type mmos
I got an almost full heroic item set for gear slots ... They are worse than wearing myst set with dread set. I'm not sure if they'll be comparable after they are fully augmented. It seems like it will take a while to get the lunar and solar augments.
🍺
Thank you!, ill watch all the videos on the series
We won't sue you for your memory ROFL
Hello to the sexy bald man of DDO
Hey axel hoping you drop a video about the recent update and FTP being on Cormyr…
@@r8chlletters I've thought about it and written down some notes for one but not sure there's enough news lately to warrant a video right now. There should be a producers letter very soon so may be best to wait for that.
I think the actual threat in that first quest is blind
Fun fact the quest giver for purge the heretics was Inqusitor Gnommon. You will see him again in a higher level quest Lords of Dust. The lever in caged trolls opens the gate to the north with the chest behind it. My free to play account has a toon in the teens now. Really makes me appreciate my vip account.
video quality looks fine to me but maybee my old eyes is not what they use to be
@@Wittyozymandias Hey fateblade. Thanks I might just be too picky and too much of a perfectionist...
I'm ftp and I have 7 mounts, 4 border lands and 3 from night revels. For the algorithm...
Thanks for the algo comment. Borderlands is a paid pack, so assuming you either bought it with points from playing, someone gifted you a guest pass or you got it through the free quest pack coupon. Night Revels is the best (and only) way to get one for free at the moment, but unfortunately 11 out of 12 months a year free to play players can't get one. There was also the free chunky green dragon mount limited time giveaway from this past year but that was a one time thing...I guess technically two time since they are doing the rewards again on Cormyr here soon.
@@AxelAlexK Yea I got the free quest pack coupon, but I think before that I got borderlands by spending collected favor.
25:40 do not worry, Square Enix, the small indie game developer that they are hasnt figured this out yet either.... (no Viera or Hrothgar hats since their release...)
Weekly gold roll should have just been calculated on cost of Astral Shards, as that is what non vip players would use for a gold roll.
🍺
Good series but who is this for? there are no new DDO players.
Not true, I know a bunch of them :D
@@AxelAlexK I dont believe you
I've been playing the game for so long and I never knew you could buy a medium gem bag in Erstwhile Emporium. I've been using the ones you get in Harbor for no good reason for way too long.
Empty handed in house Jorasco has them too.
Additional tip as to a getting back to a shrine: If you're playing solo and out of range and you have a hireling or pet, get them to pick up your soul stone and then you'll be able to get back to the shrine by merely running back to it as the hireling or pet will keep up with your ghost.
Which is the best reason not to leave enemy's behind.
A trick for you Axel, take the helm off use the wand replace the item.
@@BrianStevens-y6h I've been doing that in previous episodes, but it's much more convenient to not have to rely on a wand with a short duration. I don't have anything better for the helm slot anyway at the moment.
@@AxelAlexKIt's the best way to get max from the pots too, worn items will stack on equip but pots/wands etc. don't.
Here's my test case and why sometimes is worth while, have +2 dex cloves, for a 19dex, if use the wand while wearing adds 1 at best, but if pull the dex goves and wand up dex 21 with or without the gloves, so if wearables less than 4+ it might pay on bosses to strip off and wand up regear.
Another advantage to collecting the collectables is trading the junk ones for top off heal type pots. I have never had to buy healing pots, also the collectables from the Gorge are traded for the best curatives in the game, love those woodblossum meads.
How I handle collectables, all the harbor stuff in small bag {free}, the 2tier goes in first medium, when it starts overflowing, dump it in the bank ,buy another put all the non tier 2 stuff in it, dump in bank pull the tier 2 bag out, rinse and repeat as nesc. I run all quests only three times, norm/hard/elite, that's how you pay for the extra bags. It does get a bit tedious around level 16, but by then you have found enough stuff to augment pretty much all your gear.
The sexy bald man of DDO
There have been five to ten minute raids in the past... So it doesn't seem to be a problem if the HP is lowered on nonboss enemy NPCs. °°° The party back in time has to do a task quickly so an item spawns for the other half in real time. "Time travelers take off, okay real timers take off."
A short raid isn't a problem in and of itself, but Threats Old and New is the only raid in a full expansion which costs $40, $80 or $130. The length is just one of many aspects of the raid that showed it clearly didn't get the dev time or creativity that should have been put into it. It'd be much less of an issue if this was a raid put in as part of an adventure pack, or even a mini-expansion.
@AxelAlexK Yes. I agree. But look at all the many DDO players that spend $40 $80 or $130 and never see the inside of the raids. I personally have bought four ultimates and have only done one of the raids one time out of the four. Is that my fault ? I'm not sure about now... but in the past most players don't see the inside of the raids.
@DustyLeeSledge I don't think that's true, lots of players run the raids. Some choose not to, just like some don't run all the quests, but I don't think that's most. If you want to run them, all the last 4 expansion raids are very do-able shortman on Normal for average power level characters so you don't need 12 people. Most servers have some kind of regular weekly raiding groups open to all if you want to look into them and join, usually discord is the best place to find them. I host raids open to all at 3pm EST Saturdays on Thelanis if you happen to be on that server and want to join my discord.
@@AxelAlexK I've played since launch and have seen raid groups slowly decline especially in the last five to six years. I think the last time I would see multiple raid groups in the LGF was the Ravenloft release and now I see none. That's why you have to schedule server wide raid times.
@DustyLeeSledge You're right that there's less LFMs, the game is not as big as it was back in the late 00s/early 2010s. But as someone who leads raids weekly - you'd be surprised how often the lack of someone willing to start the group is the issue, not lack of players. You do have to get involved in discords these days to get consistent groups though, that's for sure. Some of this is player population declining, but a lot of it is also the advent of discord and it dramatically changing how people communicate/socialize in MMOs - pretty much all regular DDO raiding groups no longer use DDO's in game social features anymore, and don't start LFMs very much. It's all done through discord. DDO's voicechat in particular is bad and buggy, it pretty much necessitates the use of an outside program.
Yay ! The guide is back !
TY Axel, was most helpful ! enjoying my new Skin !
Glad to hear! Enjoy!
Tim looks like he is 2 inches of beard away from writing a manifesto...
Hey did I mishear you there , did you say that you can get + 6 to all stats if you run heroics three times, is that right? I know you you get +2 for completion but didn't realise you can get +6, if you do it three times or am I mishearing.
@@Iggy4470 For +6, which is triple heroic completionist, you need to do a past life in every class, three times. It's the crowing achievement of reincarnation in DDO...the longest/hardest thing to get.
@@AxelAlexK well i have done racials and epics and 1 set of heroics, so here goes again its a hard slog but some ones go to do it, thanks for the info very much appreciated.
@@AxelAlexK there are several people in the guild say this incorrect they have 3 lives in all heroics and only get + 2 not +6 ? would you be able to check this and see if that's correct please.
@Iggy4470 hmm I am seeing conflicting info after digging into this more. I will have to ask around but you may be correct. Thank you for pointing this out I have always thought it stacks 3x like every other past life feat. If you are correct I will add a correction in the pinned comment if I did indeed say +6 in the video.
@@AxelAlexK Yea on 10:08 stacks three times for +6, I really wish you were right tbh it could have been awesome but to many people with all those lives are saying not the case.
Just noticed you had this series going. Always fun to watch a new run through :D
Lack of inventory as F2P killed this game for me, it is very debilitating, I got fed up how suffocating it becomes, uninstalled it completely and never looked back. And yes I managed to open 2 more inventory tabs, got all the collection bags small-large, high capacity quivers, more bank space..., no use, it is pure shit in a game which requires you to run around with many items. Poorly designed.
@@Noiconnotag The game really does expect you to sell most things you get. You're right, there isn't enough storage. Not enough to keep much. You have to sell most things to vendors, or crunch them for crafting or sentient jewel xp. What a lot of players do is create alternate characters just for storage, and pass them items through the shared bank (which is not free btw).
Even if you pay, the inventory is tiny. With the reincarnation system you need something like at least 5 armour sets (lvls 5/10/15/20/30) for every class in the game. + weapons. +different sets for different builds within the same class... That's a LOT. DDO does not provide enough inventory for that. Not even close to that. Yet, people are manage somehow. But everything else, especially green randomly generated items, should be sold. Old players usually don't even open the chests while leveling, because they don't need neither that random loot nor platinum you can get by selling.
Thank you for 8th episode!
You're welcome :)
🍺Nice to see this series back
Good to see you again hope you had good holidays and so far a good new yr, and before I forget hello to the sexy bald man of DDO
👍
On "Guard's" the guard's have abysmal hit rate, that being said they have also saved my bacon many times, don't keep an item just for the guard, but if the choice is an item you can use that has a guard vs, something similar without it's worth wearing every time. Example, belt with Guard + 48% fortification and deathblock vs. belt with deathblock and 54% fortification, lose the 6% percent and keep the guarded one.
In guilds you have to be careful to socialize in chat, even if you don't run quests with guildies, it will help you not get ejected, although some guilds require both regular as in "everyday" and quests with guild runs to stay in, It varies widely, some guilds will throw you for not being online every so often, 4 months is about average but some it's a bit problematic. Keeping a guild is worthwhile though, for the transport more than the buffs.
I've never known a guild that is that is anywhere near that strict on the regular servers, requiring every day logins sounds ridiculous. Maybe in past hardcore seasons you will get kicked if not very active just to make space for more people. From my experience very few will kick you out as long as you are active in the past 3-6 months, and if you are gone for many months they may kick you to make space for new people. But if you do take a long break and get kicked getting a new guild just for buffs and ship is very easy on any regular server so it's no big deal.
I Noticed you didn't snag the opt collectables at the end, and as went along, they are the only "reliable method" for "ftp players to get auggies", as an old player and now playing ftp solely, and "solo-ily", you can't bypass collectables and augment your weapons and gear, perhaps something overlooked by way to many guides.
Yeah sometimes I just don't see them and run past them, I try to grab them as much as I can.
If you inadvertently go with no throwing weapon, go around the corner to the gate and wait a little bit and bob back in and out he will come down "eventually", it's better than exiting.
When the hire pulls the lever you can immediately call him back and continue on. There is no reason not to.
I use the stone of change a lot.
Correction - 10:03 is incorrect. Heroic completionist actually only counts 1 time, you cannot stack it 3 times. Oops, sorry! My mistake. 37:52 The quests I was trying to think of here are Lines of Supply and Quid Pro Quo. Lines of Supply has a diplo check but the check in Quid Pro Quo with the griffons is actually Heal not Diplomacy…my bad but anyways my point there was just that Diplo can be useful for various skill checks throughout DDO…ok I’m now rambling so I’ll stop!
Diplo is a necessity if you don't have a really high intimidate, especially in places like party crashers.
Glad you are sticking with this Axel! Happy New Year 🤍
you still going to continue with this series?
My graphics settings are all on max but my game doesn't look as good as this. Anyone have any tips for making the game look good?
i realize this is an old video but hopefully someone can answer my question, for Triple completionist, can you do like 2 pally then 1 sacred fist and still get triple com or do you have to do 3 pally or 3 sacred fist?
@@skillsnshet For triple com you should only need 3 in total, so 3 of any combination of archetype/base class. Archetypes count as base class for purposes of completionist. They aren't in addition.
@AxelAlexK thank you for the reply
