Tier 5 Adept 3's?

[Nekofr]

Hey, all. Only 42, but I had mined a ruby and had Spider Stance Adept 3 made. Just mined two rhodium clusters today, and I have no clue what I should have made for tier 5 with them. Any ideas? Thanks. <div></div>

Definitely Halcyon Blessing.  At Adept III, it's about 30% haste (plus C/P/S bonuses) and since it's a Level 49 spell there will be no upgrade (versus Spider and Winding Dragon that will have upgrades).  I also got Dragon Adv, but you get an upgrade to that, whose Adept I (which I'm using now) is better than the Adept III version.  Basically, if you want to see your investment last long, use it on something level 47 and up (unless it's one you get as a master2 at 54).  But with the increased rate of harvest, that might not be an issue for you.

<DIV>I am a fan of upgrading the FD line.....</DIV>

Heal doesn't have an upgrade. that's what i'll be going for next. I got spider stance too since it's upgrade isn't for a long time. I actually went and made a list of skills i'd like to get to adept3 at some point. Mostly those that either don't have an upgrade yet, or don't have one until the high 50's which i won't be hitting for a while. Here's the list I made in case you're interested. These are what I see as worthwhile upgrades in no particular order. Upgrades are listed in brackets if they exist.

I agree , Halcyon Blessing is a nice stance to upgrade. I actually have this stance on most of the time ( solo , duoing , grouping ). Sometimes I even use it being MT in a group , but not against the tougher mobs :smileywink: Other than that , I recently upgraded flying dragon , shocking hands & Heal to Ad III.

Here's an example of what you can get out of upgrading from adept1 to adept3. FD is a big disapointment. <span>:mansad:</span> <img src="http://members.shaw.ca/jasonznack/adept3s.jpg"> <div></div>

what's the increase on Lunging Mongoose Adept III ?  Is it worth the upgrade since it never gets upgraded later on?? <div></div>

[x0rtrun]

I'll post a screen as soon as I get teh adept3 made... which will be as soon as i find another rhodium. :p <div></div>

Anything 47-50 should be top prority as they aren't upgraded in 51-60 levels. If you get more rubies/rhodiums after that then ugrade other stuff like defensive stance, and FD ect.<div></div>

Any and all stances are very much worth the upgrade since you won't get any new ones until the high 50's so you're certainly not wasting a ruby.  <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Upgrading Heal is a big one and I'd do that asap.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Since you're 42, it's not worth keeping your rhodiums and rubies for the 47+ stuff like Silent Palm or Halcyon Blessing.  </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I'd get the upgrade to WInding Dragon and Heal with those 2 right away if I were you.  You won't regret either one.</DIV>
