Is orsinium worth the crowns?

Cameron991 · May 2016

I have 4500 crowns and I want db but I was wandering if I should add 700 crowns so I can get both is it worth it?

Jazbay_Grape · May 2016

Orsinium is definitely worth it. It's a huge area with a lot to do. It's at least 3 times the size of DB, both in area and in terms of content.

k9mouse · May 2016

Yes, it is so worth it!

Wrothgar is the best PVE zone in the game thus far. Worth every crown.

Suru · May 2016

Yes, the quest line was amazing, I had fun doing them. The delves and dailies are also cool to check out.

wayfarerx · May 2016

Orsinium is hands-down the best DLC so far. Go for it.

ListerJMC · May 2016

I'm adding another yes to this, I think it's the best DLC so far. It has really cool content I keep coming back to, and running through it on multiple characters isn't a chore unlike some zones.

The Orsinium DLC is certainly the best under every point of view. It has an interesting storyline, plenty of lore, quests, delves, nice costumes that you can gain from achievements, a great solo-PvE arena, really good set gear (which is bound on pick up, so you can't find it on guild stores), and it's visually stunning. Definitely the first thing I'd spend Crowns on, if I were not a subscriber.

Out of all the current DLC , yep .

LadyNalcarya · May 2016

Its well worth it.
Its the largest dlc zone so far, there's a lot to explore, a pretty good questline, repeatable quests and second best leveling zone (after certain Cyro and IC zones).
There's no group content though, aside from world bosses.

Articulemort · May 2016

Just a quick, yet late reply, yes. Absolutely.
There are two daily quests in it, that have a high chance of rewarding you with malacath and trimimac motifs and they give out decent experience. They help to quickly lvl a character. I leveled up pre-vet everyday with only an hour play time but running the two wrothgar dailies and the undaunted random group finder dungeon.

Not to mention the actually content is pretty good, the world boss are awesome, it's nice to finally have a world boss that actually requires a group of players to beat.

@Articulemort I am v9 is it better to wait to v16 to get bc gear or should I get it now to lvl up. But then my gear I unlock would be useless in the future

Articulemort · May 2016

@Cameron991 Uh, idk. I would do it now for the quick exp, you can always grind through for equips at vr16, they aren't super hard to come by. What gear are you looking to get from wrothgar?

Cameron991 · May 2016

Idk any gear really but I want that malacarth bow and axe @Articulemort

Well, the only gear pieces that are worth getting at vr16 are vMA weapons, but drop rate is so crappy, I dont even recommend grinding it unless you're 100% min-maxer. That arena is very boring and imbalanced (imo), but its just a very small part of the dlc content.
There's also a few niche sets, but nothing spectacular.
But the dlc is a great way to level up... Even the main questline will probably give you a vet rank or 2. And there's great grindspots (public dungeon mobs give the same exp as normal open world mobs, but respawn as fast as regular public dungeon trash), normal MA, and daily quests that can also give you motif pages.
Also, if your char is a crafter, all craft nodes will scale for your craft passive level.

Articulemort · May 2016

@Cameron991 If you are just looking for simple malacath bows and axes, no sets or anything, run the dailies to get the motifs and make them. If your just gonna craft your own, there is absolutely not reason in waiting til vr16.

NordSwordnBoard · May 2016

Love it. Scaling of levels is great.

I go there daily if I can to farm because my smithing is 50, I mine rubedite, while the gear is at my level (voidsteel). So I get supplies for the present and the future in the same trip.

Another good thing is you can meet people of all levels and factions adventuring with you, which expands your horizons for meeting new players & guilds you wouldn't typically come across in your home zone.

Regarding ranking up, I would get as close to VR16 as possible because they are giving a 2.5 Champion Point bonus for each VR earned before DB DLC comes out in June. As far as gear goes, VR16 gear = CP160 gear. I am waiting until after DB anyways to commit to any nice gear.

MattT1988 · May 2016

Best DLC of the three so far. Heaps of stuff to do, hopefully the blueprint of their future DLC releases.

Wtrenga · May 2016

The main story of the DLC is very nice and the side quests are quite fun to do! It's a good area if you like to explore and do random stuff like mountain climbing or just the repeatable quests.

However there's something I'd like to add: Solo content (except MA) is the most unchallenging content ever! And I'm not just saying that: While completing the quests, I did not notice that my full armor was broken, hence I had 0 Armor! The content is so easy, I did not even notice this was the case and still had no struggle completing everything...

Nevertheless, you should buy it :-)

worth it for rmaelstrom alone... gotta grind for those weapons...
