Lack of Adept 1s?

[Dormam]

<DIV>While I have a fair number of adept 1s for my skills, there are some skills I just cant seem to find them for.  Has anyone found Adept 1s for Bleed, sneak attack, back shot, pounce, shrouded strike or poisoners blade?  I use these abilities quite a bit and cant seem to find adept 1s for them anywhere, even on the black market.</DIV>

[Good_ome]

seems spells like Shadow Blade & Impale are quite common to loot Adept1 of , the ones you listed i havent seen.

<DIV>I have poisoner's blade and it rocks. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />  You might want to check the fence in freeport because I see a lot of our skills for sale over in qeynos.  Then just try and talk to the seller and maybe meet them in antontica.</DIV>

Yeah I can not for the life of me find an Adept I Shadowblade. How hard is it to get to Antonica from FP? I know go through Nek Forest to the Beach but is it hard getting through the Thundering Steppes?

<DIV>Hey Starchmonkey, thundering steppes was far easier to run through in my opinion than nek forest is.  I am now a wood elf assassin, so I ran through there at lvl 16, everything I saw was red, but not nearly as many aggro mobs as nek forest.  Once you get to thundering steppes you'll pop in on the far east side, to get to antonica the zone in is in the north middleish.  Just north of one of the towers.  Hope that helps.</DIV>

<DIV>Khalysta, I check the Freeport broker and the fence twice a session typically.  Once when I log on and again when I log off.  Was your Poisoners Blade a drop or did you buy it? And if so from which broker? </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>On my server, Unrest, you can find several Shadow Blade Adept 1s for sale.  Price range varies, but it shouldnt be hard to find one for around 50sp at least.</DIV>

[khalysta]

<DIV>I actually got poisoner's blade from a guy selling in TS through /auction.  I think he said it was from the crypt of betrayal or one of those zones below qeynos.  I buy things through the fence in east freeport all the time though since he is the only one to sell qeynos goods and you can find some ok deals since my server tends to have higher markup in freeport due to the much smaller population.</DIV>

[Dormam]

<DIV>Well I got great news.  I just dinged for level 24 tonight and also managed to find the Assassins Blade adept 1 for sale on the black market broker for 1 gp (+ commission of course).  Got the adept 1 at the end of the night and I hit for at least 438 once..cant wait to see how that adept 1 works in the skill.  Bet I can get a shot in mid 500s or maybe 600.  Will see tomorrow.</DIV>

Hm.. I was the person who discovered Adept I for Bleed on my server. Found it in Fallen Gate marketplace for your information.

[Dacari]

<DIV>What is the fences name in East Freeport?  Where is (s)he at?  Thanks!</DIV>

<DIV>"Hm.. I was the person who discovered Adept I for Bleed on my server. Found it in Fallen Gate marketplace for your information."</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>that is GREAT info, i am heading to Fallen Gate tonite to try to find it. I have been looking everywhere for Bleed adept I or App3... Have adept I in most other abilities.</DIV>

[Dormam]

<DIV>Ya, thanks for the tip.  Considering the amount of people in FG though, it would imagine it to be an untra-rare drop or else I would see more on the market.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>At level 24 I am not about to return to FG just to camp it out.  If I dont see it on the market guess I will just remove bleed as an attack off my bar and replace it with something else thats at adept level.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Btw, the black market merchant is in east freeport in the middle of the bay on the little island.</DIV>

[AstralDrea]

<DIV>so is this a player marketplace only in Fallen Gate? or a NPC one. I guess it drops more often in FG. it is really rare. I've been looking twice a day for Bleed.</DIV>

[Dormam]

<DIV>No, there is not a player marketplace in FG.  There are two areas commonly referred to as Marketplace 1 and Marketplace 2.  They are where the pagoda style buildings are.</DIV>

[AstralDrea]

<DIV>ah ok got it. so basically areas to hunt and kill, not NPCs to buy from.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>sorry haven't gone in FG yet, but just got my key last nite, so plan on going there soon.</DIV>

[Of_mice_and_men]

<DIV>I'd wait till after level 18.  It's hard enough in there as it is at that level but I have seen people as low as lvl 14 in there and really they can't contribute anything to a group.</DIV>
