Subject: RE: Am I too weak to get Lambent Armor?


It would be _really_ hard for you to get the other items needed to complete
a lambent quest - even if someone else did all the killing for you - because
the other items come from mobs that live in zones where you would be "eaten
alive" and quickly - sorry to say.

Probably the easiest quest to do is the Lambent Bracers - you need a
gryfeene charm (North Karana Grifeenes - you can maybe run around NK but
lots and lots of lions and gryfawns roaming about - but if you had a
friend(s) go kill until they get a loot - then you run in and loot and run
out - it could be done.

The next item you need would be a dark bone bracelet which comes from
greater dark bone skellies in Unrest. At level 11, I guess you could get to
Unrest but Dagnor's Cauldron would have danger for you and you'd have to be
really careful getting thru to Unrest. Then in Unrest - there are lots and
lots of live and dead things that will want to kill you. I suppose you
could be invis to live and find a spot that is safe from the death beetles
then get invis to undead and have your friends kill a GDBS and you run in
and loot and run like mad for the zone. I mean all this is theoretically
possible - but practical? I think not.

And then it would be kinda hard for a lev 11 to get thru lavastorm to the
temple - hell, I was attacked by a fire elemental at 26 or 28 and had to
flee. And then do you have 111pp to buy the gems needed to make the lambent
gem? But who knows if you did the quest, you might 2 levels of XP (joke)
and you'd deserve it if you survived all that!!!

So, I am the last one to say anything bad about twinking but at level 11 -
you'd need higher levs to do all the killing and basically you'd be risking
your life in a big way just to do the looting. If you have the friends to
do the killing, let one guy get the loot items. Go with him to the temple,
complete the quest together. Not sure if the lambent gem is no drop but if
he has it made - you won't need to worry - ie give him the lambent stone and
let him make the lambent gem. And then there's the matter of 111pp...

These quests are designed to give players in high 20's and all 30's
something to do in groups.

Hello.

I must say first of all, that I'm only level 11. I managed
to come into a
lambent stone by trading a wooden totem for it, in North
Karana. Now that I
have one, is there any chance at all I can get a piece of
lambent armor, or
do I just get to stick it in the bank until later levels?
