So I guess Im considered a premium player/FTP.
Close to 500 TP's and looking at the next adv. pack purchase.
Looking for thoughts on the PD perspective of which ones you wouldn't want to go without!
Adv. Packs I already have are:
Tangleroot Gorge
3 Barrel Cove
Gianthold

I'm a fan of spending as little as possible, so keep your eyes open on the specials. One series that's good for PD is necrop 1 and 2 for the silver flame amulet that gives you deathblock and neg energy absorption. The red fens has a huge slayer cap that's good for xp when you're level 12-13. I'm sure some of these other folks have great advice also...

I'm guessing Kobby and Narc feel much the same as I do about the Fens. There is a lot of xp to be had and is great to solo slayer - the kill count is insane! I'd buy it.

One pack that I've just started playing is Threnal. The nice thing about it is the mantle of the worldshaper, when equipped at the same time as the voice of the master from delera's, gives you true seeing.
If you don't already have Delera's, I'd reccomend it for xp and end rewards - voice of the master gives 5% xp bonus.

Both red fens and sorrowdusk isle are good packs to buy because guest passes are expensive and are not long enough to complete, when the low levels are on sale they should be picked up too. Necropolis 1 first, Sharn second, Catacombs third and STK last. This is because of pack cost versus guest pass cost with time to complete. Wait for them to go on sale first though! Being in permadeath and knowing that you will have to retool at some point makes the lower level packs very important as this is where you can get alot of favor to earn more ddo points!!

So Red Fens or Sorrow Dusk?!

Well, SorrowDusk is a slightly lower level area - it caps at 11, where the Red Fens caps at 13. I've personally solo'd the first chain of SD through hard rather easily. I've not done the Fens higher than normal...I think that SD has more total favor to offer, while the Fens would have more slayer xp...

To tell you the truth I think you will need both, but Sorrowdusk you will not be able to do via guest passes for the quests, there are too many and they are too spread out. Where as you could complete the fens quests on quests passes because there is only 4 of them!
But Red fens has a large amount of slayer and many chests to be looted under our ruleset which will allow for earning of coin and improving your crafting levels!!

Necro is great for quick xp and to get your trinket. The chain can usually be run in one guest pass. If you have a time in mind I would be happy to buy a pass and run it with you. I will probably be on Friday night. Ditto for Deleras. So I would say buy the Fens for sure.

Noc, how many points do you have left and what packs do you already own, this is very important to know in order to make your future decisions! I hope you did see that there is a huge deal on store points right now $60 for 9000 points. I assume the bundle package you are talking about is for all 3 Necro's which is well worth it, although the first series can be done with a single quest pass, the second series can not be done with one pass, maybe not even two passes and it is the one with the best trinket upgrade!!

I'd say Delera's b/c the voice of the master (end reward) grants 5% xp bonus - a big plus!

I would go in this order for your next purchases as they come available and especially if they go on sale;
#1 Red Fens (This has a bounty of XP and no guest pass will get you remotely thru this) (***It is a must)
#2 Threnal (This is much like Sorrowdusk and far too long to get thru with guest passes)
#3 Delera's (Although this can be had with possible one pass on casual and normal after that it will require multiple passes and the rewards are indeed great)
#4 Necro 2 (very long and would require multiple passes and has an item which all toons will want in guild, a deathblock item)
#5 House P Carnival series - A must have for House P favor and there is great loot and end rewards here, but on higher settings this chain can take up to 3 passes
#6 House D Sentinels Series - Also a great chain to have for end rewards, and will take atleast two passes to get thru.
#7 Necro 1 (this is short enough on low settings to get thru with a pass, but it is cheap and pays for itself as you get multiple toons thru it)
Ultimately, #2 thru #6, can be sorted of valued equally so buy them when they are on sale, just keep pounding out favor, dont forget to do 100 on each server, if one of your toons die and he is close to reaching a 100 favor mark, have him leave guild but ask others in the guild to help him reach that 100 mark of favor as we all have non pd toons that can quickly get him the favor, a good reason why no Free to play players in our guild should buy drow, 32 point builds or favored soul with points as these goals are easily reachable outside PD and soon enough our guild will reach those marks in guild!!!
You will have found that the favor alone you earn from STK, Sharn and Catacombs at 25 points per 100 favor will quickly pay for itself as your toons run these quests!
As you know many of our guildies are VIP and have points to spend on Guest passes and will happily do so for guildies that are active and long standing, but it is your responsibility to take your points earned thru favor and spend them on packs to ensure your ability to advance thru quests areas within the game!
Cya soon Noc!
