TR and XP stones question
Aug 7th, 2020 at 9:58pm

Is there a guide to when to pop the heroic xp stone for a 3rd life and beyond?  Near as I can figure with a 50% pot it would come at rank 46 (800,000 xp).  But I'm not clear on how the VIP and ship shrine bonus would factor in.

50% potion + 5% masters gift +5 ship buff +10% VIP = 3,399,999 XP (Have confirmed this MANY times recently). Enough to let you start at 18 and about 400K from cap.

I personally find eating it right away to be the best course, then play all my favorite quests and cap inside a few hours. If you like I can give you a list of quests and what order I use. Also if you're doing what I think you're doing there's yet another even better solution.
  

I'll never understand the propensity of people to brag about being good at a video game. Its a toy you play with for fun. The only person who should be proud of you is your mother. If you're 3.

heroic will leave you 400k from heroic cap IF you are wearing masters gift and have 5% ship buff +sov pot+vip... weekend boost is of no benefit.

One Sharn main saga (no docks or cogs) will cap you easily

keep an eye out for Meridia pugs and the like.. helps break the mediocrity

Your biggest limiting factor is going to be hearts. If you’re on Wayfinder, then the extra 10% vip will stack, but the bonus heroic and xp will not count for the stones.

With all the bonuses, a run through R/E/H/N Litany of the Dead should cap you.

I've been running 6 accounts and playing EN Devil Assault for roughly 10 tokens a go-round. Its fast enough for me, there may be faster ways but they are a pain in the ass.

Do you run the accounts on the same pc?  Do you run them in, log them off then log back on before you loot?

I run al 6 accounts at once, 5 of them on 1 PC and the other on on a second PC. I could technically run all 6 on the same box but that would eliminate the last vestiges of joy playing this game brings me.

My setup, in case you care: I'm using a total of 3 monitors, so main screen is my main account thats the one I'm looking directly at.  I run 4 alt accounts @1024x768 crowded on to one 1080p screen, then another at 1920x1080 on the screen bellow. For me I cannot stand being unable to see each account at a glance. There's easier ways.

As far as system kawumph it really doesn't take much to run DDO on low settings, and the game does very nicely in a window. The biggest thing you have to watch out for is mouse-look mode. If you, say, have a window in mouse-look and open a chest, then make another window active, the system can get a little glitchy. My advice: try to avoid mouse-look unless walking long distances.

My personal advice, your millage may vary: naked barbarians. I use Cannith Crafted 30% run speed boots on them, and that is the ONLY item they get. If you can't craft, drag them through a heroic elite run of https://ddowiki.com/page/Schemes_of_the_Enemy Schemes of the Enemy. You WILL get like 5 pairs, no problem; and any decent epic lvl character can smash that quest.
