10 million xp to get 4200 vcomms

So, it took me 10 million xp to get the 4200 commendations of valour to etr.  Is that on par with other's experiences? (Duping aside)

The most broken epic PL in the game is the ridiculous AC buff from martial PLs. But when you include all the inherent benefits from reincarnation, the thing is above the roof. The benefit from TR was supposed to be minimal, but now it is game breaking. start a new character and you will feel, you will get raped in heroics.

Personally I think lower heroics on new characters are harder than Legendary Elite content on a character with good gear and has all destinies farmed.

Wow.

Have you EVER gone to Law School Feyn? Have you EVER been asked by a United States Senator who is now the Vice President of the United States to write a paper just for him on a particular topic of Constitutional Law for his use as a Senator? Have you ever been asked to help a very notable Harvard PhD turned Constitutional scholar with his very-well received book on Legal Philosophy and Constitutional Revolutions? Have you ever been offered a job as a Deputy Attorney General BEFORE you even graduated Law School?

No? Then STFU you fucking amateur.

2 cards = Sov exp pot. You get bonus comms for running exp bonuses. I usually get the 4200 vcomms per ETR it seems, at least the 6.6mil exp and the random stuff I do while bored or raiding.

Sounds about right. They lied about how many we would get - so I have no issue with people duping.

If you actually earned the Heart while leveling you wouldnt need to dupe.

As of U21, commendations are boosted by XP boosts.  They're each calculated individually and they round down, but they do get boosted.

10 commendations
+5% ship buff is +0
+5% voice is +0
+50% XP pot is +5
Total 15 commendations

40 commendations
+5% ship buff is +2
+5% voice is +2
+50% XP pot is +20
Total 64 commendations

Yes, added with u21. XP Bonuses increase CoV drops. So make sure you have your voice, ship buff and xp pot active when you turn in your quest

If you run EEs and stay away from high xp quests, you'll get more COVs per life.

Probably takes one or two more weeks to cap at 28.

Optimising Commendations gain is different from best XP/Min.

You have to look what is your bottleneck for the fastes eTR.

Best commendation farming is running shit on EE.

I don't know about everyone, but for me completing EE takes about two times longer than completing EH.

Wouldn't recommend running only EE cos then you get demoralised about DAT EE HP and might as well quit the game. Plus, you might get lagged to death which's guaranteed death. This shit's depressing.

Oh, and on EH you get slightly more than 1/2 comms of EE.

But eh also gives the same amount of xp as ee(1-2k difference).

It probably depends on what class you are, but if you can find some EE quests that you can complete fast and run those every day, boringly, you will get your COVs by the time you hit cap.

On my sorc, I zerg EE Trial of Fire, the entire CITW chain excepting Spinner and the one after it and sometimes skip The Lost Thread (since it's far and annoying), the Druid Chain, the High Road chain except for Detour, and Wheeloon except for Mirror, and Don't Drink the Water, for speed. Those are all very fast, pretty easy and the higher level ones give good coms.

They might be more difficult depending on your self healing and equipment. But they're easier to solo than to group for the most part. Unless you get people who can zerg fast and don't do optionals.

Dear players,

The D&D rules you were familiar with were too simple to understand, so we're continuing our move away from them to needlessly confusing subsystems that will make your play experience less fun and invalidate old builds and loot. We hope you have fun working out what the fuck MRR, PRR, MP, SP, RP, CL, MCL and all the other bullshit we made up whilst drunk means.

Love,

People who don't know how to fix their own mistakes cleanly

So for you, and anybody else who can spawn Commendations of Valor by paying €$, its strictly XP/Min.

Anybody else would probably have the best eTR-time with a combination of easy EEs, even if the XP/Min in them is not that great, and some fast EHs. With ignoring many Ebberon Epics, because they give shitty commendations, even though the XP/min may be good in them.

On my main I've done 1 ITR and 6 ETRs, spending basically no time at cap. I had a bunch of unused TP when the hearts went on sale, so I've been using those rather than spend my points on XP stone boxes.

I currently have about 16k valcomms.

For me:
7 x 6.6m = 46.2m XP
(46.2m XP / ~16k comms) * 4.2k comms ~= 12.1m XP for 4.2k comms

Your XP/comms ratio absolutely depends on how you quest. Before u21 I spent a lot of time farming VoN3 for XP (and missing out on comms). A lot of my friends are undergeared for EE so I run EH a good bit.

Ultimately, do whatever is fun for you... as long as it's newer content b/c that's where you get more comms. Pay for new content... pay for new content... one of us... one of us...

Guestimating that lvl 30 cap will be ~12 million xp would make the ratio m9re palatable I suppose.
