    “MEMBERSHIP

    Can someone explain that in plain English, please? What on earth does it mean? 🙂

      it looks like anything that goes in your currency tab (etyma, obols, greater spirits, far seas tokens etc) will give you a double amount.

        Tokens from PvP kills do not get doubled, but BG and PVP Quest tokens do.

    I wonder why there is no fix for Brell in pickpaw mine as he calls way to many adds and that mechanic seams to be busted as they all seam to come at one time now instead of just waves.

      Advanced Solo: Bolgin starts with waves of adds. Then Bolgin becomes attackable. Any adds you get after that is due to being careless and ignoring the red text.

      Not sure about the Heroic.

    Badcat,

    Adv solo or heroic? If you ignore the script and try to dps through it your going to have a bad time. I tried that too many times during beta and finally submitted to following the script and now he’s cake.
