Rare Masters

[Jeffmaster]

<DIV>Is it just me but Masters have become even rarer for brigs...I'm searching like crazy even on the black market and I don't seem to find much like before....or with lu24 they have decided they would loot less often</DIV>

[Goonch]

<P>Stab, Ruffian, Entangle, Hideaway, Dauntless Advance, Devitalize, and Underground Negotiation are the rarest.</P> <P>Stab and Ruffian last I knew only dropped in certain t6 raid zones.</P> <P>Hideaway and Dauntless advance just got put in the game like 2 weeks ago.</P> <P>And the 3 level 70 spells to my knowledge drop from POA 70+ names, DT, and a couple of the other T7 raidzones.</P> <P>I've managed to waste 20p on devitalize and 10p on the server discovered hideaway last week, but the rest still either elude me or are way over priced.</P>

[Goonch]

ugh i just realized your lvl 28... the ones at that level are going to be hard to find just from the fact the population of players at that level probably isnt too high.

[Jeffmaster]

yeah I've only been playing for 3 months, my first MMO but used to play RPG's ..... Thanks for the answer I was just worried that it would be worst while I was going to go up in the levels

    Stab has only dropped once on Permafrost and the punks gave it to an alt over selling it to me.  Devitalize just dropped for the first time a few days ago, i paid 25plat for it lucky me.  Also i am still lacking Shrouded Blade from t6 because it was never for sale that i saw.<div></div>

[kyth]

    i didnt start lvling in DoF for a few weeks after release.  I had work to take care of.  As such i missed out on that.<div></div>

[Gyilok]

stab i have yet to see, probably because its lvl 60 and should drop in fountain of life, but it only dropped shwash masters for us (def stance 3 times in a row haha), same with ruffian but who cares about that heh

[panthro]

<DIV>Try playing on the PVP server.. find a Brigand master for sale is unheard of</DIV>

[Arvas]

<DIV>I search 3-4 times daily on Unrest and unless you want Vaunt or Appeal for Mercy your sol....</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Brig Masters just dont drop it seems.....Guild has had zero drop on raids in T7...</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Did manage to get Disembowel today for 11p</DIV>

[Owwiee]

I looted  the T6 Defensive Stance (lvl 55 i beilve) in PoF of a Harpy..... then 20 mins later a Zerker AE. 

[Goonch]

Ruffian the defensive stance is lvl 60, and if it dropped off of a harpy it must have been lvl 60 and you must've been real lucky, so grats.

[Lein]

My final T6 master is Befuddle Adversaries... Yet to see it on the broker <img src="/smilies/1cfd6e2a9a2c0cf8e74b49b35e2e46c7.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> And for T7 I still need Devitalize and Dauntless Advance, as you said -_-

[The-Fourm-Pirate]

I got lucky and bought befuddle from someone for 50g. I hate how people just assume because it's a master spell it's worth somthing, I hate going through 2 pages of Vaunt, Appeal for Mercy, and Decietfulness before I get to the ones that are actually worth somthing.

[Riversideblues]

only thing im missing is stab and dauntless, offstance has been dropping, but stab is getting annoying............2 of the 3 devitalize on nektulos were mine <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /><div></div>

[Niende]

<DIV>Just need hideaway and the 70 snare. Brigand masters are easy to come by compared to my defiler's spells, bleh. Probably just luck.</DIV>

[Jeffmaster]

I've noticed that when I was looking at the broker with my Paly(Queynos) for a brig master there are a lot more available than in freeport broker....I guess its a good trick when searching to look with another caracter in the opposing alignment. You save 20% from black market

[Keleran]

I picked up Band of Thugs out of Palace of Awakened last weekend. I think it may well be the only brigand master I've personally seen drop.

[jarnpraetor]

<P>Shrouded Blade is the only Master spell I am missing, does anyone know if there was a specific zone it tended to drop in?</P> <P>BTW, finding Brigand masters for sale back in Tier 5 was super easy. I think 2 plat was the most I ever paid for one back then.</P>

[Crimson Dragon]

shrouded blade is the attack speed debuff? i got that from one of the dragonflies in tenebrous tangle. <span>:smileyvery-happy:</span><div></div>

[Met]

Anyone ever seen Amazing reflexes or Dispatch drop, or heard of where they drop?

[Wooz]

<DIV>I am missing the following masters myself:</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>lvl 58 - Double Up - Have seen it a few times on my server and just recently it showed up but my fellow brigand in my guild snatched it for an ungodly amount of money before I could get the funds up hehe <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />  I would like to know however if anyone has a known locations/mob that this drops off of?  I have been doing Roost runs every day with my fiance and our twink char but have yet to get a master even though there are lvl 58 named mobs in there.  Also, we have been trying to do Poets Palace with regularity hoping to possibly find it in there.  Any other suggestions to where I might find this or am I on the right track?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>lvl 60 - Ruffian/Defensive stance - I have yet to ever see this master.  The same brigand as mentioned above has it, but she got it to my knowledge in a T6 raid back before KoS came out and I was not part of my current guild then so not sure what zone it dropped in.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>lvl 61 - Hideaway - As mentioned in other posts, this and our offensive stance is now dropping.  I picked up our lvl 69 offensive stance last week on the broker for like 25 PP (probably overpaid).  I would bet that Hideaway drops off the wurms in TT on Breeding Grounds.  I used to farm that area a lot and I got many 61 and 62 masters there (including actually finding Sideswipe).  I also found our ruse line 62 master here.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>lvl 70 - Devitalize - I have never seen this drop yet on our server.  Apparently it has dropped as a brigand in another guild has it, but I have yet to ever see it drop for us or see it on the market.  I will probably take the advice and camp PoA lvl 70+ named for this as I bet eventually it will drop <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>lvl 70 - Entangle - I have never seen this, but honestly I have the master of the lvl 56 one Ensnarl and it has a great slow percentage on it already.  I use this all the time and never have problems with resists so unless this master shows up in my lap I won't be spending much effort looking for it.  It's really not a regularly used spell as it is.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>*Amazing Reflexes does exist (I bought mine off the broker back in T6 days), but not sure where it drops in DoF expansion.</DIV>

[Kegofbud]

<DIV>We had Stab M1 in bank (from Terrorantula or Fountain) when I joined guild, so I got lucky there. Devitilize dropped in one of the instances a couple weeks ago. I'd like Elude and Hideaway for sure, but haven't seen them. </DIV>

[Draakard]

<div></div>where do you guys get your copy of following masters..Revoke - heard its dropped in TT, anywhere else you might know?Despairing Thrust -Double Up -  any ideas?Dauntless - its been said monk pebble zone and yellow con heroic nameds in BM , any update? spent too many hours in those zones for a drop and its never on brokerElude - since its lvl 60 , FoL or GoAA? but ive seen it on broker a few times, thinking somewhere else it may get dropped..Hideaway - only 1 on my server and dunno where they got itUnderground Neg.- Also in DT ? If so, we didnt get any yet... <div></div><p>Message Edited by Draakard on <span class=date_text>09-05-2006</span> <span class=time_text>04:08 AM</span>

I've personally seen Dauntless Advance drop in Labs, on the chatty Gazer before Alzid/Vyemm:(1155514224)[Sun Aug 13 18:10:24 2006] You loot aITEM -757906728 -658983579: Dauntless Advance (Master I)/a from the treasure chest of Euktrzkai Amdaatk in The Laboratory of Lord Vyemm (206.72, -141.08, 460.35).A guild Assassin got Elude M1 from Tenebrous Tangle, Breeding Grounds on August 28th, 2006, off "a solo mob, not even a named."Myself, I still need <b>Underground Negotiations, Ruffian, Stab, Elude, Amazing Reflexes, and Hideaway.</b> I suppose that might make them rare, but only really rare for me. =)I haven't bothered with Entangle M1 because Ensnarl M1 is 79%, the snare cap is 80%, and there's no level restriction on the CA (now of course, having said that, it will be changed in EoF beta to have a level restriction, just you watch, grrr)EDIT: AUTOMATIC SMILEYS SUCK!<p>Message Edited by agra on <span class=date_text>09-05-2006</span> <span class=time_text>07:54 AM</span>

[Goonch]

<P>since ive posted last i got hideaway from broker guy said it dropped in poa.   i also got dauntless which dropped of gorenaire.</P> <P>Still need ruffian, stab, AR, and underground and frankly im not gonna go out of my way to find or get them.  id like them but /shrug ive pretty much given up.</P> <P>from what i can tell the majority of 70 masters drop from poa or dt or nek3.</P><p>Message Edited by Goonch on <span class=date_text>09-05-2006</span> <span class=time_text>10:25 AM</span>

To the OP: you're really finding it hard to locate brigand masters in T2 - T4? There were literally dozens on Butcherblock when I was leveling my brig, and I had nearly every CA at Master 1 for the first 35 levels. Most of them cost 10-20gp, too; I wasn't breaking the bank to twink this guy. I probably spent 3-4pp total on brigand M1s.

[Jeffmaster]

Thx I am now level 50...they are getting even harder sometimes...but I don't worry anymore..I get Adept3... till I hit level 60-70 when I will focus on getting masters or else it's wasted money since you'll only use them for a short while.

[Jay]

<P>I'm getting to the same point, and having to settle (/sigh) for Adept IIIs. Cheaper (and actually possible) but I miss the knowledge that I have nearly every skill as high is it can possibly get.  <img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></P> <P>Not sure if there are all that many pre-70 brigands using this board, but it might be interesting to get some discussion going about must-have Adept IIIs between 35 and 55. </P>

[Jida]

My exp. is the more masters you have, the faster you level.<div></div>Thats why when i created my new twink main.. it was adept III or master for everything i could get my hands on. =)

[Red Whisper]

<P>--I got Amazing Reflexes long ago from a drop in Sanctorium.  All of the lvl 52 ancient teachings seemed to drop in there before KoS, don't know if that's true anymore.</P> <P>--Stab dropped in PPR 10 days ago (though I already had it) off the first named on the top floor, forget his name</P> <P>--Bought Dauntless Advance last week off a guy who got it in Vaults.</P> <P>--Guildie got Befuddle Adversaries off, of all things, the heroic guards in front of Temple of Scale in TT</P> <P>Tidder--Guk</P>
