rebirth - when to do it

[riddick]

In the long run, would it give a more beneficial for a mortal to now (as level cap increased to 100) get to level 100 before re birthing, or would the stat increase be insignificant enough to balance out the obvious benefits of re birthing right from level 80, as most people had done.

i am mainly looking for a comparison of someone who has gone from level 100 mortal, to rebirth, versus someone who re birthed at level 80. keep in mind that you
would have to minus the element of wings, enchantments, and gems out of the equation, and assume both candidates wore the same gear (for instance yellow slayers or better)

thank you for your time

P.S - any feedback that is intelligent and open to a discussion/rational debate about which method is better is more than welcome


IGN - Vawn
Server - s5 (twilight caverns) but since we merged with two other servers, we don't use that any more xD

Umm i am pretty sure the attributes would be very different. And I would rebirth now if i get the chance but that is only if you care about catching up to the big players.

[riddick]

well thats what i mean, each attribute go's up an increment every level, even if you put points after that level into them or not. so in theory, when you rb, you would not only
have a higher base stat, you would also be getting the extra attribute points (and the obvious skill advantage, but we are mainly focusing on the stat difference here)

im taking my time and have no intention of catching leaders in my server so ill hit 100 first :P

[riddick]

if everyone also wouldnt mind, it would be cool if you posted your IGN and server =D

I'm not rebirthing until I have my soul and wings at a "decent" level. As for my server and IGN, it's in the sig.

[riddick]

DAWG! whats up man? xD

[ArchangelZero7]

sure thing :P ArcZero, Amethyst Forest. (btw im only just under lv 50 lol)

[Codawg211]

Don't listen to Arc. He's secretly a mega spender with an insane 100 scion character on a different server that has destroyed everyone there.

[ArchangelZero7]

i wish >.> lol thatd be sweet. i would be the most helpful scion ever O.O

[Codawg211]

Absolute power corrupts absolutely Arc. You'd be helpful for all of 10 minutes, when you realized how bored you'd become.

Getting to lvl 100 before rebirthing has no effect on your stats once you rebirth. Everyone who rebirths starts at lvl 1, as if they just walked into the game, including base stats. Everyone gets 60 attribute points to place, and 12 skill points, regardless of the level they rebirthed at.

The only "benefits" to continuing to level up prior to rebirth is extra time to farm the equipment you'll need when you rebirth, to collect 3x exp tokens from the ladder npc, to make more gold from farming/selling loot. You would also be able to get your wings to the point where they don't need heroic wings anymore, since you can't upgrade your wings until you've reached the proper level to upgrade- same with soul, you'd have more time to farm for your soul.

The benefit to rebirthing the instant you reach lvl 80 is that you won't be as far behind the scions as you would be if you waited. You also get the easiest PC farming ever- since you can solo indigo, vault, bc, and so on, very early on after rebirth. Then there's being able to do DS again- if you didn't finish your purple gear before rebirth, you'll have a very good chance at getting those gold badges the second time through.

Going all the way to lvl 100 as a mortal is an option, and it all depends on personal playing style, but it doesn't affect stats by doing so.

I feel as if I've read that post somewhere before Memory...*shrugs* deja vu.

[ArchangelZero7]

thats rather unfortunate >.>

well then, that was a very intricate answer to my question, thank you very much, case closed :P
