All 4 of the flaggers are easy duos. You can solo all but fleshmakers, but it takes longer. Better to duo them.
Not an option for me, unfortunately. The only guy I know who I can arrange something with in terms of same play-time likes to sniff flowers. Which in practical terms means that we TR'd a couple of toons about six weeks ago and haven't taken 8th level yet

If they changed the XP bonuses applying then it's gone from win to a total shit bag. I'd rather have 15-20 than 7-15. Or even 18-20.
It was never a win. Even with bonuses applying it was "you need twice as much XP, but they're 20% cheaper". Quite agree on preferring an 18-20 stone than a 7-15 though.

As far as the XP pots go, who is buying boxes and then using 30% pots when 50%'ers are available?
Er... me? ONE 50% pot just before I use a stone, remaining duration puts me close enough to 20 that I only use a couple of hours of (much) cheaper 30% pot to take me to my next life, and so on. One more 30% getting back to 8th level, rinse and repeat. Lots of 30% left over for running epics on toons that don't have all their destinies yet, or levelling toons back to cap that do.

If you are willing to spend 5k TP on a box, you are looking to make the TR as painless as possible and TP are not a barrier. That crowd wants 50%'ers. Not 30%.
Guess I'm not in that crowd. I'm a different crowd.

I wonder if the stone change affects current otto's boxes.
It does not, apparently. Fingers crossed that the Bigby's box flops enough that they'll bring old-style boxes back. I don't hold out a great deal of hope though; it would seem a bit odd to bring back boostable stones after a decision like this...
