Chardok Proxy worth it??

You're telling this to a guy who probably thinks soloing should have been impossible because it is detrimental to the community! Lol [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Whether it's worth it or not depends on a number of things, but for me personally it is a matter of efficient use of my play time. I mean, Tecmos can make 3k/hr day-in day-out farming in a few different spots, and my wiz quadding raptors only makes like 4-5% per hour in 57 compared to 20ish% per hour in an AE group. I could spend 10 hours grinding raptors on my wiz to make half a level, or I could spend 7 hours making plat on Tecmos, buy 3 hours of chardok proxy to make 60% of a level, and still have extra PP left over. And seeing as I have more fun farming on Tecmos than grinding raptors, well, that just makes buying spots even more worth it!

It's the same way with Heallun, but in the end it means we really only play our mains and our alt stable is just for nag/vox/camping at target alts. But o well [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Even considering the bloated proxyfest that it has become, it's still the fastest xp in the game 51+. For some people, that's got value.

The question is whether that value is worth the asking price. Hard to say. Depends on your char's level and your total wealth.

My personal opinion is that 2.5 would be my price ceiling unless there was a good group rocking under a considerable xp bonus. I paid 3k/pull for a few pulls once and got ripped. Even when I am playing Maksim and selling a proxy spot, I feel bad charging more than 2.5 and I lower my price based on how good the xp really is at the time.

I'm kind of in the same boat as Tecmos. It's much easier and more fun for me to play Maksim and farm some money than it is to sit on Maksima quadding. So why not have fun, make some money, and then later have fun skipping the monotony of quadding? Win/win.

I suspect that I'll have a similar attitude re: Maksimum once I get around to leveling him and hit the 50+ bard kite ceiling.

I think bard PL kiting in DL might be faster until like 52. Then it's probably Chardok AE or BW bard kiting as only AoE options, but I'm not very impressed with BW as a bard.

I've noticed all the people I know that get PLed this way quit the game soon after because they're bored. Big surprise there.

It's not so much as they quit as they get stabled. They were never going to be mains and rarely even farming characters as it is very cost prohibitive.

[Rooj]

Yes those people on my friends list "get stabled" instead of not logging in anymore. lol.

It's not worth it to do for low 40s, a monk pwrlvl would probably be better. While its good xp per pull you still lose a lot of xp due to the level imbalance. It's definitely worth it in the 50s if money isn't a problem.

Where do camp rights come into play on Chardok AE groups?

Three people in the safe room going for Chardok pipe? Non KoS druid picking off mobs during the repop holding an SBS?

Walk down to royals in between pulls, otherwise stay the fuck out of the zone :P Also if you sit around and you're a monk without an epic they'll probably just hand you a pipe. No need to camp it. All chardok loot is getting hilariously cheap thanks to AOE.
