Shaman bashing is good. Not top 5 like Dochitha vehemently thinks it is, but it's pretty good compared to what it once was.
Quick-witted + Diadem arius is about even with nimble curse/jinx, arguably better until you hit the 90s and have decent crit. Keep arius attuned regardless though, since roar goes through shield.
^ What @Mindshell said is accurate. I have tested the same. The only time arius is better is when I had EQ Gem in addition to QW / Diadem.. Otherwise, curse/jinx win all the time.
@Ryzeth I have nothing against you, but Shaman is top 5. You need to figure this out.
Placing well in a GH doesn't make it top, either. That's like saying winning combat rankings means your class is top <x number>. Still wanna know what this "super accurate method" Dochitha has is.
Anyway, I compared the shaman stuff on small denizens, a few hits to gauge about where in the percent the hits fell. Take damage, divide by bal or eq, gain a %dps figure on that denizen. It's not pinpoint like falcons used to be but good enough to figure out which is better.
HELP RIFT states that I should only be allowed to hold 750 of each cooking ingredient. I am currently holding more of that in my rift. Did they change the amounts and not update the help file? Or am I missing something?
What sort of time investment is Conjuration? I'm tired of never having sigils. Also, how's the Artie that lets you batch things?
Depends. I have trans Conjuration, no artie, and can bang out an easy few hundred in half an hour with svof scripting. Feels like even less because you can talk with other people (tells and channels only, says might mess the enchanting) and read help files and stuff, so it's really not bad at all. It's the bags of stasis that take long. I've borrowed the artie one time and damn, it was fast. If you gather the materials yourself, it would take a good minute. But if you buy them from others, obviously a lot less time, and you could still make a profit if you sell the excess.
If you want exact times, feel free to toss me some materials IG and I'll return sigils/times.
Says will interfere because there is a slight balance there. The medallion of enchantment is so worth it if you intend to do a lot of enchanting. Being able to do up to 5 of something at a time makes a massive difference, especially when it comes to needing eye sigils and meteors. I've done 1-2k meteors one by one and never again.

Most sigils - especially the common ones - don't take very long at all. They're only a few actions per item, and I think each action has a ~2 second balance cost associated with it. Artefact is great, well worth it if you have the credits and intend to make a lot of sigils.
What are some good areas to hunt for gold as an unartied dragon with 7k health? Azdun Catacombs is nice but often hunted, Moghedu keepers + Knights is also good.
Any other areas I'm missing out on? Paging @cooper cause he knows the best gold generation
Istarion is pretty good and is usually on my rounds, you've obviously got Annwyn too. Depends what time you hunt too as The catacombs and Vertani are usually up when I hunt.
Annwyn is by far the best, I would say. Istarion is actually a bit worse than Moghedu, especially considering the difficulty (whisper outriders will fk you up even in dragonform). The beauty of Istarion is in its talisman drop rate.

Annwyn, Tir Murann (assuming you're willing to utilize or sell dragon talisman pieces), Grukai glubbers/polyps, Azdun Catacombs, Moghedu tougher stuff, Dun Fortress, Theran Guards, Quisalis Caves, Istarion.
Is the usual wheel items with monk and rare blackwave caches, according to announce the new Artefacts are in the pool as well. Usual items are like nuts, seft balls, bound credits, rare minerals, lessons, upgrade credits, discount vouchers, supreme cache, Arty pipes, perma ink, iron beard alchohol, race tickets, rare start arties, crates, etc...
Could be fun spinning, or if you are after the caches, but if you have something in mind, credit purchase is better choice. Especially if someone wants to buy spins from you, that's a lot of bonus.

But I've only ever played without willpower+ artifacts, so the story might be different there.

You've gotta figure it out. Until then, you don't know about it.
Sorry.

Iskadar on Meropis isn't too bad for gold.

You feel a sudden jerk, and the air immediately surrounding you comes alight
with pale, etheric fire as a strange hissing noise fills the air.
