Suggestions/Help for Paladin

11 Upvotes

Hey all! Just created an Oathbound Paladin to play with my buddy, and I’ve been following Aragons suggestions on building out this character, but I feel the heals are insanely lackluster. I’m barely giving my party any shields in combat and the heals are naturally a little lower, but I see numerous other paladins giving entire health bars worth a shields. I know this is a new character at 40k IL but, Basically, what am I doing wrong? And what can I adjust?

SEEKING ADVICE Lockboxes! Trade bars! Mounts! Companions!

• Upvotes

Good day my fellow gamers 😁

I am thinking about upgrading the mounts and companions for every class and I am wondering what that would even cost.

Firstly, the trade bar sale is coming in 23 days, on the 29th of October (Yayyy 🥳🎉) so my question is based on the cost during sale (2 bars per token)

Next, would be looking into the best value sources of the mount, companion and trade bar currencies. So far it looks like the 2 best options i have, if using zen, would be either older lockboxes or opening newer lockboxes to the trade bar milestones, as a value for key+guaranteed trade bar option.

I did a little calculating on a spreadsheet for the main companions and mounts i have that are bis for each class/role and came up with an estimate of 45000 trade bars cost (during sale) just for these, which would be at most half of the celestial comps/mounts that I would need for each class towards maxxing out the bolsters, luckily the remainder for bolsters would simply be mythic to celestial upgrades, however that is still something that I would like to do eventually anyways.

I have 20 characters and they have all claimed the companion tokens from the sharandar campaign, and I might jump into the madness event currently to grab 25 mount upgrade tokens from each of them aswell (or hpwever many characters can claim that last milestone of mount tokens) as I could use the glyphs and motes anyways.

End goal is to lean towards maxxing out every class every role, I do often have a lot of time and play mostly casually and for fun. I really do enjoy making progress on each of the classes, learning and understanding how they are played, having fun with different animations (and different ways to die 😂) I have achieved one of my goals, which is to have completed mjs on every class every role (it would be every paragon if I played assassin, arcanist and hunter) and now I am setting bigger goals like progression towards maxxing and having a deeper understanding of each class aswell.

Whoopsies, little bit of a rant there 🙈

TLDR: What are the most efficient ways to get 45k trade bars? (Or a lot of comp and mount tokens)

Least time/money to do this (although they are not a very limited resource)

Hi all.

Just figured it would be easier to post here,

I've always wanted tk play the game timing just never really worked out. Trying again lol, I just got to level 5 on my ranger and I am enjoying it a lot so far and I know I just barely started playing.

For my second character slot I was thinking of going healer which class is the simplest to lean? I assume cleric?

Also im looking for a guild, I play on PC and about as far away from endgame as you can get and mostly plan on enjoying the ride and story of the campaigns.

GENERAL FEEDBACK A love letter to Neverwinter

58 Upvotes

Sorry guys, I just need to gush about this game. I’ve been going through a really tough time lately and its honestly helped me tremendously. I just wanted to share my feelings about it with the community and hope that the devs see it so they’re aware of how much this game means to us.

I rediscovered Neverwinter earlier this year when I got my Steam Machine, and I’m honestly super surprised it’s not more popular. MMORPGs are my favourite genre and I’ve pretty much played them all at this point, and Neverwinter has so much going for it.

The atmosphere is incredible. I genuinely feel like I’m living in the Dungeons and Dragons universe. There’s heaps of lore, the characters we know and love (Minsc, Elminster, Drizzt) feel like a part of the world and not just there for fan service.

It’s also incredibly beautiful for its age, and that’s down to a really solid art style. There are so many moments where I’ve had to stop playing to just absorb my surroundings, like when I first reached the Underdark and saw the underground city from above. Exploring the dense forests of Reghed Edge feels really cosy.

I love the structure of it. There are dailies, weeklies, and constant events. My brain finds the progression system and goals super soothing. I love that I’m always working towards something and I don’t find any of it a chore.

The community is also pretty darn lovely. I’ve had so many wonderful experiences joining trains, chatting while battling altars, and teaming up to take on world bosses. I haven’t had these experiences in an MMO for years. While I love ESO and GW2, teaming up doesn’t feel the same. It’s more like you all just show up, do the thing, and leave without a word.

Before this turns into an essay, I also just want to say I love the class fantasy of it all. Paladins, Bards, Warlocks — they all look and feel like their roles. They have their own animations, sound effects that contribute. Coming from games like GW2 and ESO, where there’s very little differentiation between the classes aside from the colour of the skills, it’s something I’ve missed since the original Guild Wars and I’ve really enjoyed making my Warlock look as evil as possible.

In short, I’m in love. There seems to be a real buzz about the game following the recent livestream and I really hope it builds momentum because I want to play for a long time to come. I’m also keen to check out Neverwinter Classic, even though this version of the game is already fairly close so perfect for me.

Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

The dream, finally! A graphical update for Neverwinter is coming in 2027 along with the new class and race. Cryptic, I love you

You understood everything! ^^ Finally, a major update like we haven’t had in years! YES, I’m so HYPED after 13 years of playing and 30,000 hours! ^^ YYYEEESSS! Now we’ll have to see about the game’s graphical update (it’s probably for the arrival of Classic; they can’t release Classic without a graphical update, which is why they’re going to upgrade Neverwinter Retail’s graphics). What do you guys think?

Xbox MOM Menzoberrazan HEs

6 Upvotes

Hey all,

I'm stuck on the MOM Major Delirium quest to complete 3 major heroic encounters in Menzo.

Over the last several days, I've helped complete all the HEs in Menzo, but none are registering as MHE.

I even abandoned the quest and accepted it again, but no luck.

Wondering if anyone else has the same issue?

I feel I'm not getting additional quests since I cannot complete this sucker.

Thx!

Are there any events that give you double gold/silver/copper?

5 Upvotes

I feel like there’s an event that awards 2x currency like when you fight enemies and pick up 5 copper here and 2 copper there…. But I can’t remember.

Is there any events (like the 2x refining stones) that offer gold you get to be doubled?

Thanks

TECHNICAL QUESTION Timeouts/Disconnects

7 Upvotes

Hi Folks,

since like a week or so, I'm facing huge timeout/disconnect issues. For example, yesterday during Reaper challenge I got timeout + disconnect 4 times in a row.

It feels like I have timeout and disconnect every 10 to 15 minutes.

Is anybody else having such issues? For reference, I'm playing on PS5 from Germany.

This feels a little bit like the massive Telekom issue we had back in the days. So, please tell me I'm not the only one suffering bad server performance.

Thank you very much

SEEKING ADVICE Chance of character retrieval?

8 Upvotes

Hello, as the title says, I’m wondering if there’s any possibility of character retrieval. I assume not so I have no hope but figured I’d ask. Along time ago, like maybe 2021 I had a fully level character with lots of stuff, I also had a friend who played with me & we shared account info at the time as we knew eachother in real life. Fast forward, he moved to a completely different city hours away, logged into my account traded EVERYTHING on my character to his & then deleted my character. I then stopped playing the game as I was so distraught and didn’t even know what to do. Fast forward to today, I just got a series x and downloaded neverwinter to find no character hahaha. Just wondering if there’s a chance the character data could still be floating out there

Does 30% off zen store only happen during Jubilee event?

8 Upvotes

I think someone answered this before in a comment, but I can’t find it.

During the Protector’s Jubilee event, the zen store items were all discounted 30%. Does this happen for any other events during the year?

Thank you


r/Neverwinter • • 8d ago

Does anyone remember that mini campaign event for opening lockboxes?

2 Upvotes

I think it was during this last Jubilee event, a mini campaign popped up and it was either for opening lockboxes or using keys to open lockboxes.

It was just below the Biting Cold event campaign and only lasted like a week.

My question, if you remember, was the progress on that bar rewarded from the number of lockboxes you opened… or the number of enchanted keys you used?

Thanks

What effect does using the same main artifact as your teammate during an artifact call?

2 Upvotes

“…during an artifact call HAVE?” (can’t edit post title)

I’ve seen it said that you should use a different main artifact as someone in your group, but nobody has ever said why.

Does using the same ability nullify or negate one of theirs? Or is it just to have variety of ability?

For instance, if someone uses Nightflame Censer on a boss and I come over the top immediately with my Nightflame Censer…

Are our effects combined, or will mine nullify theirs and start the effect timer over.

Thanks, hope I was able to word this so it’s not confusing.
