In future I will steer clear of the Forsaken Tower, why? Simply because the drops suck.
I know that the Tower is a great place to mindlessly grind to get up those levels, but if that's all you are doing and not being rewarded for it, I'll pass. When I am hunting for Quest Items in Darkon 3, I am still getting the same experience but I find that the Blue Item drops are much better and the QI more valuable.
I am doing all of the quests along the way and even saving up QI for the Master level quests, so I don't have to hunt the same mob again.
Another player came up to me and offered me 10mil for 20 Eronsmith, 500K each? how could I refuse! Metal Hearts that drop from Azuras sell for 15K each, MAX. Higher level QI are often much more valuable than the items that drop in Azria because they take a little more work to obtain and too many people say "the exp sucks, it's too far between mobs, it'll take too long." and so avoid Darkon 3.
Great.
If I'm getting the odd great drop like a truly valuable QI or the odd Blue or Moonstone / Sunstone, I feel pretty happy about the training session and am happy to continue.
If I'm training in Azria I often feel pressure to earn back the "value" of my ticket, and that sucks the fun out of playing the game faster than a fart gets people out of the elevator. I have stacks of Azria tickets, but I've decided to save them for when there are EXP events or after I take the Master quest.
