Thanks for the clear explanation, as a returning player who hasn't been ingame for over 2 years I wasn't sure what to do! But at least I've got the homecoming warrior set to start.
Thanks for this video - easy to understand, professionally done - great job! I am just coming back to Archeage after having only played for a few months back in '15, so this was a great help.
im currently fully geared in T2 devines and started working on my T3 weapons now. This was a great addition to the game for a more casual players such as myself, i now have better gear then i ever had and i played the game since launch but never really focused much on gearing too hard, just enough to get me past pve parts of the game, never cared much about pvp not just in this game but in any game in general and have only ever did it every now and then. Still i feel that the gems are way too much work if you want everything slotted as the crates that drop those mats don't really drop much of it. Been farming and opening silver crates for almost a year now and still only have enough mats to maybe make 5 T3 gems on my own in total, thats insane. Also to note, i never used quills, they are a waste of gold/prestige IMO, with normal scrolls you can get your awaken faster in most cases, sure sometimes you have a bad streak like for instance my bow crystalized 5 times in a row before a success, but most of the time i got awaken on all of my weapons and armor peaces in 2-3 tries at most with maybe one crystalization in between those, and while farming for infusions i got hundreds of scrolls and still have like 500 of them left after i awakened everything, so just farm your scrolls or get them from dailies and use normal ones as is a much better option than waste them on quills, and i have tried a few quills and all failed to awaken so there's that as well
Yeah, it says it on the scrolls. Someone was bitching in chat that they lost temper on an failure. I haven't had a chance to confirm. I don't have those big dollars on PTS to burn through stuff.
Ahh Thank you so much for this video lol this explains a lot I recently just got back on!! haven't played since 4.0 and I was so confused on how to use the scrolls!!
at 9:50 you listed some places you can get hiram gear from, I just wanted to note that it didn't list Golden Ruins, even though that place does drop hiram gear
Your videos definitely helps returning players. Would you be able to share the spreadsheets you use. I keep asking these but maybe you can share them on a google drive or your website?
As a follow up to this, if I ever use something in a video and you want that particular spreadsheet try to tell me what you need so I can pull it out right away.
Paradox Gaming Network I have been watching your videos and is everything in general as it helps to get good idea to have spread sheet to quickly open. For instance the spread sheet at 8:13 of this video. Helpful to know the stat difference per lvl. On a side note do you have a spreadsheet for the trade pack values. Like how much onyx archeun Essenes you get from two crown to solis. How much dragon essence and specialty packs. I know they have a % value but would be help ful to know the ranges.
@@MysticShaekBK201 The spreadsheet for the Hiram gear can be found here: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1dM0rY4luQxrzF-Dve2jeUAKsR7Rj2TggOhqedSE-9no/edit?usp=sharing As far as the trade pack calculator, no I don't have a calculator for that.
Just to clear up the question on whether you lose temper lvls when failing to awaken. You only start losing temper levels at +20 so in a worst case scenario you can never go below +18 for failing on an awaken attempt. I hope thats helpful
Yeah thanks. I'm still getting my feet under me. I used information from a new source, who turned out to be unreliable. I need to do a Faux Paus video here this week cleaning up a few things.
im trying to find the daily quest in exeloc and sungold but the hiram herald doesnt seem to have them. was it changed or do i need to do a prerequisite quest?
I have two questions: 1.) What about crafted gear? When I was still playing, crafted gear had the most potential. How about now? 2.) What is the best possible gear avaliable? Is it Hiram/Eronor or crafted? Or are there others?
Erenor is the best except Weapons which would be Black Dragon weapons. Ereenor is also much more costly than Hiram gear. For what it takes to max out 1 piece of Erenor gear you can pay for the infusions of all your other armor.
Since this is a very comperhensive tutorial. Hopefully someone can answer my question. 1. Will i lost the image armor once through awaekening to higher tier? 2. Can higher tier item be use on infusion of a lower tier gear? 3. Will i be able to change the state again once i got to higher tier?... hopefully to get answers..
1: I do not know about images since I don't really image my gear. 2. Yes, you can any infusion on any gear 3. Yes, you can change the stats when you get to higher level. I have a Max T3 bow that I'm not happy with the stats on, but I'll hold onto it until we get to 5.5 and I have to relevel it a few times.
I came back to this game few days ago. I was playing AA, 2.0/2.5. I was really confused about all of this stuff. My noob question here. What i can do with my old gear? I have whole obsidan T1 armor set(celestial) And T1 obsidan(epic)Greatsword. Should i delete those?
Go to mirage island with stone bricks. Go to the last machine on the left. Make Hiram Conversion Runes. Crush all your old Obsidian Gear and it will turn into Erenor Infusions worth 1K XP each.
Yeah, I meantioned them in the Archer section at www.paradoxgaming.net/classes I have AA101 stuff all over the place right now, but every day I get a little bit more finished.
I have a T3 Epic Maxed Club, a T3 Divine, a T3 Celestial, and then a couple of T1 & T2 pieces for my farming set. I've been doing only my dailies for the month I've been back. People who farm say they get about 40-70 infusions per hour depending on their kill rates.
firstly thank you for sharing you knowledge it helped me a lot! however I have a bow i managed to get it to celest, and since then it has failed everytime, also crystalized 7 times!! am i doing something wrong?
Nope. Sometimes it goes without issue. Other times it is a straight pain in the ass. If you've had 7 crystallization then I feel for you. My guild made had like 4 on a pair of boots. Most I've had is 2. Good news is that if you've had 7 fails that +35% Just get enough scrolls and use a quill and you should be golden at what, 85% chance?
For Server, everyone tells me to send new players to Legacy as Fresh Start is dead. I don't have an opinion the Fresh Start thing as I"m banned on Fresh Start due to a chargeback when they failed their launch back in April. Obviously, I'm going to recommend Kadum to people since Its the server I"m on, but I hear both NA Legacy Servers are populated. As far as class, first we need to narrow down your play style. Melee, Archer, Mage or Healer. If you want that Big Damage go Melee or Mage, each has their flavor. If you want mobility go Archer. If you want to play the class that keeps getting nerfed in 2018, play Healer.
Awsome vid, and wanne say, u lose tempers when upgrading fails, only if the tempering points are higher than +20. As i know u lose like 2 points per fail if above 20.
Do you recommend Club or Sword for Paladins? I'm personally trying to build a tanky Paladin with enough self-healing to sustain. Some people said that I can get enough heals off of Mettle based Defense skills but I'd still like to know if its better to get a Club and buff my heal power. What do you think about it?
I'm actually starting to work on a video about Gems, the problem is with the change to resilience that is coming, its going to make the video difficult to do until the math is done
@@ParadoxGamingNetwork Ill be full T1 celestial after 2 weeks of casual gaming and very little help. (i bought 1 month patron and I knew the basics of the game). So not that bad for any new player on fresh start server. Your vids helped me a lot.

No problem.
I have more stuff coming out in the next few weeks that will totally revamp Archeage 101 and bring it up to current on 5.1.

You don't lose temper if you're at +20 or below, I believe it's in the tooltip for awakening scrolls too.
Yeah, it says it on the scrolls. Someone was bitching in chat that they lost temper on an failure.

Ahh Thank you so much for this video lol this explains a lot I recently just got back on!! haven't played since 4.0 and I was so confused on how to use the scrolls!!

im trying to find the daily quest in exeloc and sungold but the hiram herald doesnt seem to have them. was it changed or do i need to do a prerequisite quest?
1) Are you sure you don't already have them?
2) I don't know of a pre-req, but check your hero hall first.
@@ParadoxGamingNetwork yes i've checked my quest log a multitude of times. will check the second option out thanks

@@ParadoxGamingNetwork Thanks for the quick response!
Does this mean that armor and weapon crafting is kinda useless now?
So I'm confused. Does this basically invalidate old BiS gear? Like the BiS gear now comes from solo grinding???
Anything short of Ayanad Leather Set (for melee specifically) or Erenor gear, yes its now
Erenor
Hiram
Library Drops
All other crafted.

5:10 bro "for some reason" TRICKSTER!!
Yeah, I meantioned them in the Archer section at www.paradoxgaming.net/classes
I have AA101 stuff all over the place right now, but every day I get a little bit more finished.
@@ParadoxGamingNetwork haha yea dont worry i had to google the class name because it had bean so long that id forgotten :D
LOL
That's awesome
How long does this gear take to farm? are the drop rates decent?
I have a T3 Epic Maxed Club, a T3 Divine, a T3 Celestial, and then a couple of T1 & T2 pieces for my farming set. I've been doing only my dailies for the month I've been back.

so does hiram gear go beyong epic or does it cap there?
For now epic is the cap. When T4 comes out in 1 or 2 patches, it will go to Mythic.
For a player that just starts now, what class and server do u recommend?
For Server, everyone tells me to send new players to Legacy as Fresh Start is dead. I don't have an opinion the Fresh Start thing as I"m banned on Fresh Start due to a chargeback when they failed their launch back in April.

Can I pick these quests up if I have infamy?
I'm not sure, but I believe so. The pirates who help me put these together, didn't mention anything bout not being able to get them.
@@ParadoxGamingNetwork I got it :D thanks for the video!
If you're a pirate, you need to get the sungold, exeloch and reedwind quests in growlgate tower, or you can get them in stealth in the relevant camps
@@terrorsixx - Thank you for this. I'm still building my list of contacts for confirming Pirate / Player Nation Stuff.
No problem man, im a pirate myself. So its common knowledge on our end.
You're only human and have just returned, nothing wrong with a few mistakes
look out archeage im commin back haha
Every time I try to awaken I get it crystalized. For a low gs farming honor is quite a pain tho good thing we have cr and gr .-.
Success chance gets higher every time u fail
I have the worst luck mine has never been less than 7 attempts on every item apart from my intrument which was 4.
Ouch that sucks.
Yeah I'm at 3/3/1 except for that dagger during the stream.
Anytime I stream results, I get trash RNG.
Gratz and Thx for all!
You helpe me :) thx
That's what I"m here for.
watching this makes me never want to touch norm archage again, i forgot how tiring the gearing system is.
Well, its better than RNG rolls with cash shop charms and things blowing up in your face.
Better than losing so much time and progress on RNG like BDO lmao.
Awsome vid, and wanne say, u lose tempers when upgrading fails, only if the tempering points are higher than +20. As i know u lose like 2 points per fail if above 20.
Ah ok. Higher than +20.
I didn't have anything at that level to test.
Pls do hiram gear video for pvp healers
Yeah, I'm still working on healer stuff in 5.0
But its a lot to digest, and then come up with something to reproduce.
@@ParadoxGamingNetwork ty, im counting days for that video. I m really lost atm
"00:58 - Why Hiram Gear" showcases almost all the weapons apart from bows...
The chart at 9:09 has bows on it.
But yeah I didn't deep dive into bows.
Do you recommend Club or Sword for Paladins? I'm personally trying to build a tanky Paladin with enough self-healing to sustain. Some people said that I can get enough heals off of Mettle based Defense skills but I'd still like to know if its better to get a Club and buff my heal power. What do you think about it?
Paladin has to be club since sword doesn't have healing power on it.
Hiram farm need just GOLD^^
Yup. Gold all day
