problem with "call to battle" quest

[MrBranch]

Okay, now you started talking in riddles to me. As I said, I'm only level 31.
Selling or buying loot spots was nowhere mentioned in the game so far. All I saw are quests to perform adventures; quests which are close to impossible for a 31 level player, but therefore certainly challenging.

After reading the above, I started digging:
I read: "you are buying loot only, not xp"
==> seems to contradict with the quest of the crisis quest, stating that I have to experience an experience quest. But okay...I guess it works.

But now comes the big question: how do I buy one such spot?

Maybe check through this fantastic guide by Iolanthe, should help clear up most questions about Loot Spots

[MrBranch]

Yeah, I read that one after you started talking about Darkpriest Lootspots

It also brought me to me question: how?

All I find about it is:
"Lootspots are often swapped between friends and Guildmates with each player doing the same Adventure and inviting the other when appropriate; or sold in Trade chat for Gold Coins, Map Fragments, and occasionally other resources/items."

==> as said...no friends, no guild. It brings me down to trade chat, although that is not helping much either so far. No clue how to use the trade chat. That neither popped up in the tutorial so far. I will do some more reading to find out how it works.
It's for sure not an obvious way to fulfill a crisis quest :0

[peck_ed]

Trade chat is basically just chat, but specifically for trading things, so no "chit chat" in there

If you post something like

"WTB lootspot for Dark Priests, /w me for selling"

Or you can wait to see people selling loot spots in there and also whisper or talk to them about it

But please be aware, loot spots are a player created thing, there is no real feature in game, as stressed in Iolanthe's guide

[MrBranch]

Okay, and why is the 'invite friend' option still blocked on adventures? Level too low?
Or is this related to the fact that Horseback is not having lootspots, which takes me straight back to the "I'm screwed" situation?

[MrBranch]

Still don't get it. Now I got assigned to play a difficulty 4 adventure. It seems really impossible for just a level 31 player. If the lootspots are not invented by the developers, then why is the crisis quest build on it?

[peck_ed]

It isn't built on loot spots per say, I know in our Guild we just tried to do 50/50, and those who weren't able to do 50% of it had help from the higher levels, no coin transactions needed for that

[MrBranch]

So we're back at mandatory to play with friends or guilds

Wow, you are SOOO confused.

There is nothing "special" about a lootspot. It's just an agreement between people.

Adventures can be 1, 2 or 3-player. If you're doing a 1-player adventure, of course you can't invite someone else onto it!

For adventures that can have more than 1 player, several people can do it as a team or one person can do the adventure on their own. Nothing strange about that. The key is that EACH PLAYER on an adventure gets their own set of loot when the adventure is completed. Through natural commerce, therefore, the extra spaces available on a multi-player adventure are sometimes sold off, with both parties benefiting from the deal.

There's nothing mysterious about this and it's nothing that can or should be in the tutorial. It's just people talking to one another and making trade deals.

No, no we're not.

You have to be a friend with someone to do an adventure with them, but you can defriend them afterwards and never speak to them again.
