TOPIC: Should I attempt True Grind

It intrigues me but I am not sure how I would do and I would not want to disappoint the rest of the players. I usually do Druid and have purps.

Any words of wisdom for me? Should I try it? If I do what is important for me to bring as Druid?

If you want to do it, I'd say go for it!

i would say try to be 5th level if you are not running with anyone you know...other than that look on here and see if someone needs a person after tickets go on sale. then you have an idea who you are running with. If you just show up, you might have 3 people wanting to play druid

by 5th level, i dont mean experience..I mean character (might set etc)

I have full Might set, so yes I am 5th level.

Kristine,

Grind is exactly that. Its a lot of fun, but fast and furious. I say go for it. Just be quick in your decision making, in the game. 1 hour goes by fast.

Speaking strictly for myself, I would never do Grind with a PUG. Grind requires teamwork and skill at combat. When I say combat, I'm not so much referring to the ability to hit an AC target, but rather the ability to quickly step up, slide, and GTF out of the way so the person standing behind you can do the same. It's been my experience that PUGs rarely have the level of cohesion Grind needs.

My advice to you would be to get together with some vets here on the forums. Your chances of having fun will be greatly increased.

PUG = Purely Unknown Group?

I can guess GTF

Pick Up Group.

But you nailed the other one

I did grind on normal last year with a pug and it went ok. One guy fell through the wall and a few folks died but we won in the end and had a blast. Honestly since there are no stamps in grind I say check it out anyway you can its loads of fun even if you get killed.

Do it!! If Incognito is feeling nice he'll even give you completion tokens (hope they are doing that this year?)

Additionally, after you get your tickets paid for post event registration, you can always open a forum thread in the appropriate subfoum and try to meet up with potential adventurers to discuss strategies and builds before the run. That way you wont be blind sided when showing up (assuming people respond to the post).

Either way, it’s a blat and everything said above this post is dead on!

Its worth doing if for no other reason then to wish all combat ran as smoothly. Its amazing to sit and watch the speed and efficency.

I had a ton of fun on my runs. I got in 2 with part of my group.
