We didnt get any bracers, just arms. My friend tinen (lvl 41 bard) got the
arms since we where randoming everything that was obtained between the
classes that could use them. Me and tinen nearly fell over laughing when we
found the first bard only item since we where the only 2 bards. But alas,
he got the first item, and we didnt find anymore for the night since we
gated out shortly after that. All of this was on the first day, before they
made it supposedly harder. The next day an elite (snicker) team went in to
rez all the bodies that had accumulated from the day before from people who
just zoned in and started exploring. Me (for the corpse location song), a
lvl 50 cleric, and a lvl 45 druid would take one person at a time in and
rez and evac them out. We never got jumped once we entered the gate, we
could stand as long as we wanted to by the gate and nothing would attack
us. Several silver backs ran right over me, but never attacked, like they
where not even agro. We did not engage anything however since we where just
helping people get their corpses back. This was AFTER the zone broadcast
that they had made the zone even rougher... so i dont know for sure what is
exactly harder, though i have heard rumors of beasts hitting for 200 and
backstabbing for 500. We keep trying to get another expedition going but
all the high lvl clerics went up and went on vacation :p
Tomorrow we are hoping to have 3 45+ clerics and if so its off to the fear
plane for us. One tactic i highly recommend: Get a zone wall to your back
as soon as possible. That cuts down on a whole 180 degrees that you do not
have to watch. A corner is even better. We tried fighting from the hill by
the gate and its just not a good idea.
And yes, just about every freaking item we got was no drop. Scratch that.
EVERY item we got was no drop, and we got at least 5 items if not more. I
dont pay any attention unless i want it :). Except for those monk only
gloves that gave serpentvision, i play a human bard and would LOVE those, i
hate turning into a de everytime i want ultravision.
