    Vanguards are dictated by your ilvl. The lower your ilvl the lower the rewards - it's a dumb system implemented to try and stop people from farming dailies.

    only for IoD quests though...

    actually this is the first time i used the forums and yes, the random name given to me is annoying. Trying to find a way to change it. Anyway tnx all for the replies so far. Also about scaling the VG quests according to gear score, not sure if it's true but i'll probably notice it if i ever get my hands on some feedstocks/alkahest to upgrade my gears. I have a guild to help me farm stuff (where i got some of my slaughter gears) and also taught me alot of stuff so far. Also i noticed they actually got alot of 'alts'? and most of them are in the guild so i'm getting confused who is who in my guild LOL, seems i'm still adjusting. they haven't elaborated much on why they got so much alt (around 5 or 6?) probably for farming, but farming what? I'm currently struggling to get my main (ninja) geared up, so maybe i won't get to do much with alts soon.

    well, they probably "farm" IoD quests for tokens, feedstock and vg credits. if you decide to make some alts, i'd recommend you making brawler or mystic, they can easily do top bams even in dreadnaught, so you won't have to spend resources to gear them up. with other classes it can be a big struggle.

    @Ves1978 If the original poster works on his timing for the skills that the bams do even a ninja can clear all top tier bams rather easily on IoD. I can do it on mystic, but its SLOW! Ninja is like a speed run. Brawler too for that matter.

    on my gunner, its well saving dodge skills on hydrath just in case you are too close and the onyx hydrath does that spin :( I don't prefer doing them on gunner...

    @MidokuPasta To be honest i haven't tried any profession related aspects of this game (gathering,crafting,etc.). Are those scarabs and god tears end game mats? and usually how long do i do these gathering/farming? I play on FeyForest server btw.

    @Ves1978 so i asked my guildmates and said they got at least got 1 tank and 1 healer (either mystic or priest) alts in case they want to run something and got a tank/healer shortage they would just go with one. and rest of their alts are brawlers lol. well some still have other classes as alts just for the sake of fun.

    Another question guys. Besides gears and stuff. People mentions about Charms, etchings, crystals and stuff. For charms i just use whatever i have in my inventory lol. Do i need to crafting to get the best charms? etchings, i have no idea what they are. about crystals i only got red ones 7% dmg increase to monsters, blue ones 8.1% reduce dmg from monsters, green ones are mix of 0.5% atk speed, 2x 1 power increase, and 1246hp boost. i know there are better ones out there but not sure which would suit for my ninja. Tnx again for the replies again guys, keep em coming ^^

    Here's some tips for you:

    Charms
    Use this before fight:
    Greater Strength Charm, Greater Infused Charm and Greater Enduring Charm - This is good to get extra mile of damage, defense and mana regen

    Crystal
    As just starting playing as a DPS always stick with Focused, Bitter, and Savage. As for the last slot choose either Pounding, Carving, or Forceful. I recommend you to use Carving if you are lacking of crits. Get the highest tier or red crystal as you can afford.

    For Armor: Full x4 Fine Hardy Niveots (You well get it for free upon completing the story quest)

    For jewelry: Full x4 Keen Vrysk (You well get it for free upon completing the story quest)

    If you can afford Nostrums and onslaught crit power scroll pop it up before fighting - it will helps to increase your crit power and lowering down your skill cd

    lol, don't use random charms, unless you want to irritate your party :D always use greater power, endurance and infused charms. they cost 8g ea at specialty store, but you can usually find them cheaper than that on broker. as Rak told you red crystals should be focused, bitter and savage as a must, 4th can be forceful, pounding or carving, depending of your crit factor, depending do you have mystic in party and most important depnding of your personal prefrance, all 3 work fine and difference in performance is too minor to bother too much with it. green ones must be keen vyrsks cause you need high crit factor as ninja (that would mean base+200 at least).

    They are usually used to craft end game materials and I usually gather with my felicities for about an hour. Can usually make 3-6k. The more you max your gathering the more likely you are to get the end results. I just farm the mats and post them up to sell they usually sell within 10 minutes of me posting them up.
