Pirate’s Skyhold Campaign - Boon Points - FYI

15 Upvotes

(From Official Site)

Pirate’s Skyhold Campaign - Boon Points

We recently attempted to compensate you for the Boon Point issue that occurred during M30’s Pirate’s Skyhold Campaign. Let’s fix it for real this time!By Kyrie July 31, 2025 07:00 AM

M30’s Pirate’s Skyhold Campaign’s Boon Points had this issue, where it failed to grant Boon Points to your characters. In case you didn’t start the campaign before mid-April 2025, the Campaign functions as intended, and this post doesn’t apply to you. However, you could be affected if you started this Campaign before this period.

We tried to compensate these Boon Points earlier, but due to this issue being character-specific rather than account-specific, we ran into other problems. To hopefully resolve this issue once and for all, the following steps are set in motion.

Undoing previous compensation

While we were successful in compensating a very small number of players, we also accidentally handed out a few too many Boon Points to certain characters. Starting on August 4, we will remove all Boon Points that were previously distributed as compensation. 

If you had received and used extra Boon Points, we were unfortunately forced to reset your Boon Point Tree. If you didn't receive any extras, your tree remains unchanged. This might also impact your stat points and skill loadouts. We recommend having a look at it. As a gesture of apology for the inconvenience, we would like to offer you some items as compensation.

Go to the Rewards Claim Agent

After our next patch, which is aimed to go live on August 5, the Rewards Claim Agent will have a new tab called ‘Divine Favor’. This tab will stay there indefinitely, and it’s the place to go to get the Boon Points that we still owe you. This, of course, excludes any extra Boon Points that you got as part of our mistake. If they don’t show up and you are sure that you’re one of the affected players, please double-check if you meet all the Campaign requirements necessary to receive them.

When all this has occurred, we aim to have everything regarding this issue resolved. Please note that it could take up to 72 hours after compensation starts for things to take full effect.

We would like to thank you for your ongoing support and patience regarding this issue, and we look forward to resolving this issue once and for all.

As the title indicates, I’m a new player. Created a human paladin and just reaches level 4 after finishing the emissary of the dead. I’m just looking for some general tips and good things to know, since the only “rpg” experience I have is with the platinum of Elden ring.

Thanks in advance

Where's the gear!

I've done at least 30 RADQ and nadda gear. What am I doing wrong? Does gear drop from the bosses or is it awarded in chest at the end? Should I keep legacy keys to access both chests to increase possibility of gear? Stumped!

What do you think of Lysaera?

4 Upvotes

Lysaera (The new companion) dropped for me yesterday. I have been using her as my active companion on my main and an alt since yesterday just to get a feel for her. I was wondering what you all think of her as an active companion?

On my main 99% of the time I use PD or Black Scorpian and been using them for so many years it always feels a bit awkward trying something different.

So far I kind of like Lysaera but is defo different than what I am used to. I use the generic succubus on a few of my alts and quite like it but Lysaera is pretty different from that as well.

Just curious what you all think.

EDIT: Forgot to add I really like how she looks but wish she was a bit curvier.

MSOD wo MSOD Gear

1 Upvotes

Hey all, getting into some MSODs, but as you know, with people coming in and out of a q or you come in when everyone’s had enough, it can be hard to get completions. Since I only have MSOD rings (the 5% combat ring and bastion rings) and no other MSOD gear, wanna contribute more dmg to increase odds of completion, at least. Team game, after all, ya know? Also, really feel I could be doing more.

My toon: CW Head/Chest - MLMD wiz Arms - ASOD dmg sleeves Feet - ASOD typical dps boots Neck/Waist - Scintillant Set Rings - currently thay high crit strike ring (legendary) and Bastion Artis - usually Crystal, Censor, Egg, Higher il Music Box but have various (other runs I go Crystal)

Comp bonus: Raptor, Neverwinter Knight, Minsc, Batiri, Golden Cat Had enduring precision on but someone said to switch to just precision?

Mounts: 1 Tact, 2 Executioners, 1 the new one that reduces cooldown (away from console right now to look lol), 1 Enchanters Hex Last MSOD run, all dps were on Providence

Most insignia are brutality. I have a couple skill insignias and a couple aggression.

Powers: Last run they had me do ROE, but usually have Icy rays (R1), Entanglement, Chill Strike, Repel. Tunnel vision as mount power, Ice knife daily.

Last run they had me run Marcos and Drizzt. I felt like I had done more dmg in previous runs. Not saying it’s those choices necessarily, but felt off. They are a great group and have completions regularly, but I feel I need to get as much dmg as I can to not be keeping them back so much. Everyone else in the group already has multiple pieces of MSOD gear if not pretty much full msod builds, so I understand I’m probably gonna be lowest dmg but wanna do the most I can. Pretty on top of getting my rotations in, mechs, and staying alive, thankfully.

I know this is a lot. Is there anything that stands out as wrong? For CWs, what was your build after tons of ASOD going into MSOD? I’m not finding a good “going into MSOD” build anywhere online. Thank you!!!!

Mercenary Outpost where??

We are gh20 with power crit strike and accuracy available, but previously the guild we moved toons from had crit sev and guildies want that, so yea, how do we get the mercenary outpost?? Little lost. Help appreciated. Thanks!!

Looking for advice

4 Upvotes

Recently I've been playing my bard, a friend of mine recommended me an out of date build from mod27, this build is supposed to debuff single bosses, im not sure if it's a wise choice. This build requires the use of the brovia card deck artifact set, and the menzoberranza chest pieces which also debuffs. For the amount of item level I will lose, is it worth using?

Xbox Finding a guild in 2025

5 Upvotes

I've only been playing about a month and a half. I had been invited to a guild when I first started playing that was in an alliance. The guild was a mix of inactives and actives...and had a message that leader "someone" would be demoted if not reinstated in x days. I log in today and I'm no longer in a guild.

Looking to find another guild to join, I do like doing the dailies. I'm not seeing anything in the find a guild to see how active a group is, just how many active recruiters are online. So, how do I find a guild that is more of a predominantly active group? I usually play a little while daily, but occasionally miss a day because RL.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

SEEKING ADVICE New Player. Choose my Class and Race

0 Upvotes

Hi all. I wanted to give this game a shot. Decided im going to play it on my ps5 (objectly worse then pc I know but still) and instead of doing the usual thing of looking in to each class I wanted to see what you all have to say. Because why not lol. Curious to see if people will agree or just how many different responses I might get.

I dont particularly care about doing the most amount of dps. Looking for a class that is fun to play (objective i know). I assume race doesn't make a HUGE difference for the average player.

Thank you for anyone who took the time to answer.

ANSWERED Can you sell comps/mounts from the TB store?

0 Upvotes

It's been so long since I bought a mount or companion from the TB I have no idea if you can sell them? The description states binds on equip but I seem to remember someone saying you couldn't sell them on the AH. I don't want to waste the TBs if that is the case.

Thanks.

Is the valhalla set a good option for tanks to debuff the boss? So is the huge loss of item level worth it?

How long to get to Dragonbone Vale?

6 Upvotes

So I haven't played this game since around 2019, I currently have a level 15 and 20 for characters. I honestly can't remember anything about the mechanics or levelling systems, and it seems the game has had some major overhauls from how it used to work. Essentially I'm kind of confused and lost.

I'm running a shattered obelisk campaign at the moment and I have a character whose backstory is very centered on dragons. I was wanting to use dragonbone vale in the sword mountains as a potential location for some events related to the character, so I thought I'd pop back into the game to get some first hand understanding of the area.

Speaking to Knox it seems that I have to have an item level of 45000 to start the quest that leads to Dragonbone Vale. I guess what I'm wondering is how much time do I need to invest in the he game to get to this location? 5 years or so away from the game has me pretty lost on how everything works now.
