Ok So I've been away from the game since 2023 I think (a little after Menzoberranza launched) and at that time I felt like Healers and Tanks were respectable and wanted classes, even when you were new with 30k IL you were there to tank the damage and heal the people. You could fulfill a desirable roll despite being new. I remember very vividly this one Rogue guy running in front of everyone in a RADQ because he felt high level (at the time where End-game players were around 70k-80k IL) and he wouldn't stop insulting me and the Tank bc he kept dying by his own mistakes.

Nowadays DPS players just run in front of everyone. No need for Tanks, no need for Healers. They just kill everything in one rotation. Which, hey: good for DPS players, but it feels so incredibly pointless to play support roles now.

I post this including the image bc for some reason, the other tank and the 2 healers left the trial at the beggining. IDK if it was a bug or they died once and decided to leave, or trolls. Idk the reason. But this Tiamat trial (random queue, not master or anything) was completed by me, only Tank and 6 DPS almost at 95%. And it was't specially difficult. Sure almost everyone of us died 1-2 times, but years ago I would think there was no way of ending this trial. In a private Queue.

Maybe my memory is failing but I seem to remember that even for RADQs you needed to know the special mechanics. Like what do to during the worm in the Mad Mage Lair, or with the Scorpions. Or what to do at the first boss of Ravenloft Castle with the 3 girls. Now you just brute force it with all the power that DPS players have. Any boss lasts under 20 seconds, no time for mechanics to be relevant. Mechanics don't feel important anymore, and further more, as the title sugests, Tanks and Healers don't feel important anymore.

I came back to Neverwinter after a 3-4 year break and I wanna get the new weapons for my Bard from the campaign. Grind for the whole 200 crystal thingies in the area (forgot the name sorry).

But my friend doesn't feel like grinding for that. Says it's too boring, and I get it for a new player. She mostly wants to do campaigns and adventures for the story and get immersed in the game. So while playing with her it doesn't matter too much to get the Best in Slot weapons or crazy strong. Just some moderately good and relatively easy to get ones.

My idea is... something around 1500+ IL that u can get in campaign or buy relatively cheap (under 300k astral diamonds each maybe)?

She's currently sitting on 35k IL. just enough to do our daily randoms so she can buy her Seal gear. Not even thinking about master or advanced content yet. We're too far away from that.

She's a warlock btw. I remember there was some Masterwork weapons or Guild quest weapons. Idk if there's anything better, and easier than grinding for hours in the new campaign. Also it's her first character and says she maybe wants to try a Healer next, so don't want to invest too much here too. Currently she's using the adventure seal weapons (i think they have 950 IL)

Thanks in advance!

Trying to get stuff upgraded and realizing I’m gonna need lots and lots of the Legendary Glyphs of Potency.

Is Sybella’s Legacy missions still the hands down best way to acquire them? Or is there a better way?

Only have 3 characters lvl20, and two are not so good at doing missions solo. So, that’s gonna be a slow road to take.

Is there any better methods? (Similar to running Dread Ring towers on a x2 RS event)

Would anyone recommend spending AD if I can shoulder-tap a friend with lvl12 VIP on the 15% off Wondrous Bizarre week?
Or is that a wasteful method like spending Participation Tokens on them?

Thank you for all input

I ask because several times now in a random trial queue, I get this green tractor beam on me dragging me away and disturbing the functions of my role.

As healer, I think in Gzhemids Reliquary or somn, the spinning flame beams come out and I’m trying to heal and revive ppl and it’s very time sensitive.

But I’ll get this green tractor beam dragging me the opposite way and causing me to fail at revives and just overall concentrate.

I’d be willing to say it’s even cause us to fail the mission a couple times. Bc when we’re all not that great and we lose someone, it starts this cascade effect. Then ppl just quit and we end up aborting bc it won’t find replacements.

So help me understand what class this is, what the ability is for and why I keep getting targeted with it consistently please.

Maybe I’m just working against the flow rather than doing it right bc I don’t understand.

Thanks and sorry it’s long-winded. I felt I needed to explain the scenario entirely.
✌️

What’s the difference? Tried a search and no results.

I have both, but don’t know if I should keep buying the plain Rime version.

I haven’t used any yet.
Thank you

My interpretation is if your companion has offensive capabilities then you’ll only get the damage buff

…and if you have a support companion with no offense, you’ll get the stat buff?

Is that right?

And do the companion’s stats and stat buff only help the companion, or do they somehow increase any of my stats?

I’m just trying to figure out if it’s even worth burning 2 coal motes on making mythic or celestial, … but understand the bonus as well

On both Steam and through Arc. It tries to update the launcher and crashes. Error code 155054518. On Lenovo Legion Go. Any tips?

Edit: Solved! Was able to get through the install with a VPN. Seems Cryptic has some DSPs blocked. This post helped me - https://www.reddit.com/r/sto/s/MeicPCDzCA

At this point in …what module 33.5, how many total boon paints are available to possess?

Trying to make some big moves, but might go a different route if I can’t earn enough. And why spend the retraining cost.

Tried looking around for the info, but couldn’t find anything current.

Thank you

I don’t want to do this wrong and think it works a different way than it does.
(A or B)

I turn in a mythic enchantment for account unlock and:

A: It adds the said mythic enchantment to the Reward Claims Agent promo section for each of my characters to claim 1

B: It changes the status of the enchantment in my character’s inventory to “Bound - Account” and I need to uninstall and deposit in shared bank to allow my other characters access to using it.

Thank you

I am just coming back to Neverwinter on the Xbox.

My current item level is 28,790.

My sets are far outdated as I'm still using a demogorgon set.

I'm also a barbarian blade master.

I just need help purchasing the right things I have about 4 million astral diamonds, how can I get my level up and what should I buy?

It's just a lot to take in and I'm not used to it anymore and I'm so far behind I just don't know where to start.

It says in the reward payouts that I’ll receive an Epic Enchanting Stone, however I keep getting Uncommon.

It’s Sunday, can anyone explain why this isn’t paying out correctly, or is the map bugged bc there’s so many people inside/outside the 3 lairs ?

Thanks

Mahlzeit, Neverwinter Gemeinde, wie Oben schon beschrieben, suchen ein Kollege und ich noch gleich gesinnte, die auch so um die 6-12 Ash rubs Brauchen. Um endlich die Waffe auf zu werten. Im Spiel selbst, kommt meistens nicht mal mehr ne Gruppe zusammen, dir meistens sind schon fertig, und machen halt Mjk. Vorzugsweise, werden Leute mit Exp gesucht, und wie immer Tanks und Heiler 😅 meldet euch einfach bei mir, Falls ihr in der Gleichen Ash Situation steckt 👋💪

Hey yall! Just looking for some advice as I wanna get some more use out of the trade house and actually put stuff up on auction instead of just buying things from there! If yall have any advice or you DO know what sells in the trade house I would greatly appreciate it!

I'm a 70k item level hellbringer warlock. My weapons suck. My main hand is 1150 il and my off hand is 1125. What weapons should I look for and where? TIA

What is the bar underneath the Tank’s health bar? I’m assuming Stamina but don’t know that I’ve paid any attention to it previously.

Hey all, I’m a returning end game player and have played a little bit of msod and barely any msh. My current barrier to better stats is getting all insignias celestial minus 2 that I was able to upgrade with the dust I had.

I’m away from the game right now so I can’t calculate it out, but assuming 1 mythic insignia is about a million AD, and I’d need ~36 more to turn to dust to make the rest celestial that would come out to about 36 million AD or 48,000 zen? Is this correct and would anyone know a more efficient way than buying mythics for dust? And yes obviously I could always play and grind them out, however I get maybe 4 hours a week and I’d rather spend that completing content than doing stuff I don’t want to do

I've returned to the game after maybe 3-4 years? i don't remember if it was 2022 or 2023 (I didn't look at my last login before loging into every character lols) PC player if it's not clear.

This is my strongest character currently sitting in 74k Item Level -including guild boons- and IDK what to do tbh. I've been doing the daily RTQ, RDQ and RADQs to get the spider tomb tokens to get a better gear. Also I've been doing the Biting Cold / Ice Breaker Campaigns; but other than that I'm super lost. I'm just following people around in the "trains"

I haven't been doing master trials and RFC cuz I don't remember any of the mechanics. I seem to remember some by doing the RADQs but I don't feel confident enough and I don't wanna ruin it for other people.

P.S 3rd pic is my stats out of combat and 4th one is when in combat. I don't think they change at all lol. I realize I have red numbers in critical strike and i should be having green numbers across them all. I think I used to, but not anymore.

Thanks in advance for your help! And sorry if it's too many screenshots. I wanted to give u all my info to get better help c: Thanks a lot!

I need to know something before I go further with this possible process. I missed out on an event involving the Slaughterhouse that was happening where I didn't get enough points to get a certain mount, the Hemovore Gelatinous Cube. I don't know if it's possible for someone to trade it due to Bind on Pickup(account), so I'm just asking here to be sure.

Grinded the siege for 7 hours with my main yesterday and couldn’t get a single token of participation.

Did I have bad rng or is there some max?

Got a random one here or there on my alts.

Thanks for any info. I tried reading all the rules and terms, it’s overwhelming.

*I like playing with my alts bc they are low ranked and need the Seals of Dragon, but I want the tokens for my main. So, need to see if I’m doing something wrong

Looking to make a post for those awaiting zen through the exchange. Hoping folks can fill in the wait times they had for their recent exchanges.

For Playstation I'm currently at 131 days. A friend said they had theirs come through 2 weeks ago after 136 days.

How about others on ps? Pc? XBOX?

Today in the Siege event there was someone, I assume it was one person, as the instance wasn't nearly full, but there was someone "one-shotting" the dragons. I was unable to determine who is doing it because no one ever stands still long enough for me to look at their characters (usually) plus with the dragon about I am always focused on it. But literally it goes from full to to empty in a 1-2 seconds.

Could it be a really Dragon centric build? IDK but kind of sucking the fun out of it. I switched instances it wasn't happening there so not sure if it really was a bug or not.

Im capping all my stats and I have a feeling a huge chunk of the dmg boost in lacking is from my insignias. I have 18 myth and 2 celestial insignias

3 epic and 2 leg collars. Everything else is maxxed. Artis and swift synergy as well but I'm sitting at 129k IL. How do I upgrade from here? Myth to celestial insignias seems insanely expensive

I activated VIP and claimed my 2 perform items yesterday. I’m trying to claim it for today and it’s still saying “claimed for the day”.

I both activated and claimed the items 25 hours and 17 minutes ago.

I thought you were supposed to get a daily claim.
That was Wed, it is now Friday

Thank you
