Stinger Underdark Writ

Post by Maladus »

Unless I'm mistaken, this writ can no longer be taken after about 12th level. Which to me seems a bit off because those stingers are still a great spot to get XP well after that. They spawn in droves, are relatively easy, and very lucrative from a money making point of view. All of which makes me think this writ should be extended to at least the 14th level. Being able to get the bonus XP from there would be great, especially considering the writs you can get at 12th level aren't in as good a spot as the Stingers for general XP.

We have Irongron's sticky thread about writ rewards. I suggest you copy pasta your OP into that one.

And a lot of writs level range ends while the dungeon itself is still challenging (or if not challenging then maybe it just still offers great exp/gold income over time). This is just a speculation but I think it's intentional, to divide the playerbase into many dungeons and not wanting any specific place to be TOO efficient and grindy, so taking off the writ at the point most people can just solo grind the place in circles seems like an okay idea but I dont really know if it's the real reason.

For example, I was playing a pure fighter and I went to sibayad tombs at lvl 10 or 11. Not gonna tell you I could solo them at lvl 11 (because some things still had too high ac for me to kill reliably) but I was doing a LOT of work for my party, even in that level and it made the party ask me IC "you /sure/ this writ is above your paygrade??". But then again, do the Sibayad writs need more traffic? No they dont.
