Well if you are looking to solo stuff without dealing with 20 other people every time you go somewhere and would like a shard where you can still find space for a keep but yet there is steady player vendors and stuff I would recommend Drachs. I ping about 95 there from East Coast US so some pvp aspects are affected but otherwise I really enjoy playing there. I even have a spot marked where you should be able to place a Keep and plenty of 18x18 spots. I really enjoy that shard!

Let me know if you want to check it out and I can hook you up with some basic needs should you want to start something before xfer'ng from Atl..

Legends and LS are both decent shards too in the sense that they are both a bit more populated but you could still land a Keep for a round 10 mil (give or take). I tend to go between Drach and LS/Legends/Cats depending on what I feel like doing. Drach is my home base though.

Hmm, some of this sounds good. I would want a keep and an 18x18 next to each other (well, close to eachother, front/back is good. Guess I need to check ping and such there.

The pacific...not sure if that would go well, I'm at 20mil, and would have to sell items and such, which is doable, but it time consuming, to get the money and transfer tokens. If I can go somewhere and place, that's like cheap cheap.

Ok, now, I don't have lots of gold, but, I want a Keep. I'm on Atlantic, and really didn't think people would want a couple 100mil for them, what fools. Anyways, now, I come to the conclusion that I should probably transfer to another shard.

Anyone have any idea? I play solo, soooo.. I guess it doesn't matter what shard I go to since, I plan on fighting things by myself and don't shop or sell much.

my quest is to find a ring with 35-40 DI, DCI, HCI and fire resist! Now, that would be sweet. Best was that ring I listed with 36 DI..

Khameleon, I don't know if this helps but, here's my temp. I haven't solo'd dread or anything, i'm still building but... well.. lets continue

Fence  120
Parry   115
Bushido 104
Anat    99.1
Tact    92.4
Heal     80.3
Chiv     70
Necro    39.2

I haven't looked to see what I'm going to set each one too. And I have about 4k plus enhanced aids that i have never used. I run in vamp form, need to recalculate and drop my necro more. Anyways, my suit that I took to blood eles...

FCR 2
DI 166
HCI 60
DCI 12
Luck 11
MR 12
HPR 14
Phys 42
Fire 61
Cold 42
Poison 42
Energy yes
Strn 2
Dex 11
That's all from TMs totalizer, so, think somethings wrong

I have suit with
70/64/70/70/75 (Vamp Embrace Casted)
Jews give me DCI 12, FCR 2, DI 36 (only on ring)
Primer of Arms

I used the Darkened Sky and took care of a Paragon Ele. Didn't have to run to heal, only thing that I didn't like was I had no mana.  I just did this to compare with you. I usually have mana leech on my weapons, and I try to test a lot of my weapons on Sphynx. Just tested 3 weapons on Sphynx, Darkened Sky and these two

Warfork
HML 62
HSL 50
DCI 10
DI   41

Leafblade
HLD 38
HML 52
Light 44
DI   40

And I think Darkened Sky did best. Kinda ticks me off, but hey, I need to find my weapons with SSI that I usually carry and see what's best.  Hope some this ramble helps.

hrm.. maybe its just me.. I setup 8 new plants, and the Hort-o-matic seemed to work perfect except for that calling situation.

Psst... think you did something wrong to keep that in this thread 

Well, I'll just be happy with my 5 vet reward choices on a 10yr account

I dont care much for the eye candy. I just want a castle that doesnt cost 200mil, and nice game features where I can be a loner and take on almost anything with right skill/items

Wow, the Heartwood Quester will become outdated/not useful... damn, that sucks.
