I finished the Waterclock Guild quest today and wrapped up Neverdeath Graveyard. There are loads of quests to do there between four NPC quest givers so get on with it!

I stopped into Helmhold or whatever it's called as my next location to fight through (Ebon Downs sounds like another graveyard and I've had enough of those for now!). On arriving, two players were merrily chatting away in the chat window. They must have had keyboards. One thing is certain, as we see the rise of the console MMO is it becoming woefully apparent that we need better keyboard options. The Xbox One Feb 2014 update promised keyboard compatibility, but the market for working keyboards seems uselsss. The Logitech Harmony Smart seems to be the only one which explicitly states that it will work on the Xbox One. The Microsoft wireless multimedia keyboard doesn't! Either that, or have one of those clumsy keypads that fits into the bottom of the pad (right where I plug my headphones).

There needs to be more options for keyboards on the Xbox, definitely.

How are you getting on for storage? It annoys me that there is no main vault to chuck everything into, my inventory is constantly full and I do not want to discard things that I may need in the future.
I was going to say, I've just finished the quests in Neverdeath and the Waterclock Guild tomb gives a 10 item storage bag as a reward. Very useful, though space hasn't been a huge issue for me. I mainly sell greens without identifying, blues for other classes get sold, blues for my class get identified and what I don't use gets sold.

Four players would be a struggle unless they were all level 60 with top spec gear, and even then...


Charthraxis is easily doable if you can bring the weight of numbers to bear against him. I've probably been party to about ten events where we've beaten him, and perhaps one where it was just me fighting against him. Check your instance on the menu screen to make sure it's nearly full, so you have the best chance of players turning up to help beat him. Then it's just a case of getting enough players together to beat him. His health bar turns up on your HUD even if you're not fighting him, so other players can see that he's arrived and can join in the battle.

If you're a relatively weak character, you can help by fighting his minions and drawing their attention away from the high level characters who are dealing the big damage to Charthraxis. Also, use potions to buff you character, around that point you're going to start getting lots of useful potions that will otherwise clog up your inventory, and it's a big help to buff your PEN or CRIT or whatever.

I'm at Level 45 in Vellosk. Still a very enjoyable game despite the frame rate issues (just done the Pirate King dungeon, the last boss was a slideshow).

Carthraxis is easily beatable with a weight numbers against him. There is another dragon in Ebon Downs which I'm sure was easier before the last patch, but in any event is easier than Carthraxis. Will I bother to beat 59 dragons? That's what I'm aiming for.

Anyone around that can help me take on 'The Throne of Idris' finding it pretty hard to do by myself lol
My level was too high for that dungeon by the time I got the quest for it (though I had completed it before I got the quest using the drop in queue). That is one gripe I have, if you do all the quests and some dungeons on the side, you're often too highly levelled to actually do a dungeon once you've got a quest for doing it. I'd beaten Idris twice by dropping in, so I was pissed off to find that once I got the quest, I couldn't actually join the dungeon by the queue menu. That means either doing it yourself (impossible) or trying to party up at the gate with passing adventurers (never works).
