32k ncoins .... WP ncsoft
Sure the cost is huge but keep in mind the following,
A +0 lvl 4 new magic pendant has:
20% dmg reduction, 5% cast speed, 10% mattack, 10% mcrit dmg, 6% mcrit chanceA +10 lvl 3 water dragon pendant has:
+202 mattack, +1344 mcrt dmg, 12% mcrit chance
The new pendants are extremely OP, they are not meant to be had by the majority of players, moreover they dont break on failed enchant. I agree that the cost is exuberant but so are all other OP things currently ingame.

For your first question, you will find the website if you go to giran and look for a dwarf running around (hint: its the dwarves name).
For your second question, to have the pet attack during autohunt, double click on your pet to bring up the pet menu, go to the pet skills and drag the skills you want to use in your skill bar and right click them.

Let me add to the above statements which btw are absolutely true the following.
- The flagging system is being abused. There should be an option to turn off PvP so people cant flag your afk groups.
- Remove adena drops from lower level mobs, maybe up to level 50 or 60, and buff the adena drops of mobs after that proportionately to the difficulty level. It is insane that a LoA Karik drops 2-3k adena and some lvl 25 trashmob from Abandoned Camp drops 400 adena. This way all bots will be gone the next day.
Normally what i would expect by farming with my main party in very difficult mobs with end game gear would be to make back what i spend on consumables and also make a decent profit. What happens now is everyone needs to run 20 alt characters farming low level trash to fund soulshots for main group.
- PK-ing should be something that has consequences and not something that you casually do. All this new system has to offer is to promote abuse and toxic behavior.
In what world does it make sense for someone to PK entire groups for fun while they farm and continue doing it all night without any consequences (if they die they dont drop anything).
- New clan enemy system is being abused, it needs to be reverted back to how it was. If you check most top players are currently clanless, i think you can understand why.

@DukeGr All archers have shyeed bow +4 and don't use Soushots, also they all have Leo +6 (+4% p atk), Valakas event (5% p atk) and BW heavy (STR + 3). I'm looking for a place without soulshots that would make sense XP wise as I'm tired of elemental zones already...
There arent many options with your setup in order to exp in a steady pace except for elemental zones. Most other options require better gear and or soulshot usage. Unfortunately archers are not very good in this version of Classic especially without using soulshots. Just to make an example, a mage with similar gear and fully buffed can do much more damage without soulshots than any archer.
Maybe try going to normal mobs in upper giant's cave, i cant think of any other places that would possibly work.
-
It mostly depends on your gear, from what i see you have 2 melee dps and 1 summoner (i assume human for the cat buff). Up to level 84 you got 3 options(unless you got 30b in gear and mages), Catacombs, Elemental Zones or Giant's Cave. Giant's Cave requires good gear and im not sure how well it will work with melees, i have only been there using mages.
Either stay at catacombs if you want drops or move to elemental zones if you want faster exp. As you said there really arent many options.

Im just speechless for the lack of common sense displayed by ncsoft with this particular update, to elaborate:
1) Killing someone unprovoked should always inflict a penalty, otherwise people can go on mass pk rampages just because they are bored and mess up with the gameplay of others.
2) Moreover killing someone at a lower level than you should inflict bigger penalties depending on the level range.
3) Depending on karma levels severe debuffs should be inflicted on players making it a chore to clear the karma and also making them useless to continue on their pk-ing.
4) Depending on karma people should drop stuff, period. Making pk characters have no drop penalty if killed by another player just allows grieving.
5) This new system with people declaring wars without the other party having any input whatsoever and moreover making the players that autofarm essentially autoflag is plain and simple bad design that promotes grieving and not actual gameplay.
6) The game is already heavily neutered because of multi-boxing and soloing, being part of a clan that actually had some real active clan war or real endgame rivalry just got thrown out of the window since people cant safely autohunt anymore thus noone in his right mind will participate in a clan. Already most top players are clanless. I must say this must be a global first for complete incompetence concerning repercussions caused by a game change.
7) Most importantly, the forum is flooded with threads all saying the same thing as this thread, why dont we have an official statement about the situation? Are they willing to at least discuss and maybe optimize the current changes to something that makes sense? Alot of people are currently considering to quit for a while after the exp event ends to see how things turn out. Please elaborate on this situation and what can we expect moving forward.
8) Lastly, theres a huge thread called Feedback, theres dozens of improvements that are logical and most of them easy to implement in order to create a better game environment for everyone and also make people happy to spend more. Why on earth would you "fix" something that noone ever asked and break the game in such a way when you could just add anything else or even do nothing and there would be no problem. If this was some update done by Korea for some uknown reason and was out of your power to control it, you seriously need to have better understanding of the game mechanics between your teams.

I have an archer pt with 4 archers (1 main), cat, wc, song, dance, and PP. Any suggestions for a non-nuker pt @DukeGr?
Your only bet would be to try out catacombs, i dont think your setup can take you anywhere else.
Also i dont think your party setup makes sense, archers are expensive to run with Soulshots, if you dont use soulshots they dont deal much damage. It would be a much better idea to have 1 damage dealer but fully utilized with soulshots and gear than to have alot of characters dealing low damage.
-
Most people have pk characters near their farming spots which they will log just to kill you. They wont risk dropping expensive gear.
-
This is something like an unwritten rule, most good spots are claimed by top players/clans and are used for their alts to farm adena etc. Unless you have some backup or serious firepower you will be forced to leave.
-
Theres no way to exp sustainably after level 80 in party spots unless you got very very good gear in which case you could farm at Giant's Cave. I made like 30-40m adena per day there with full party and could pay for shots of 2 nukers and spirit ores for buffer and had some adena to spare. But as i said it's very hard to autohunt there unless your gear is very good, Shooters can 1-shot you with a critical anytime.
The other option is to do elemental zone normal mobs without shots/spirit ores but exp will be slow and you will make no incomes.
Ketra/Varka/IT/DV/LoA/ToI is impossible unless you are full p2w items/epics etc.
My suggestion is to focus on getting some good gear for your nuker and slowly try your way towards giant cave.

One more item to make the server totally disproportionate to one another lol
I agree this is like having a second stackable Zaken and Orfen earring combo lol
-
I bet this is an error, they forgot to remove it from the random craft list when updating the system with live. Please do not buy or trade this item till we get an official statement on whats goin on.

People who play at top levels almost all have full gear and lack only p2w items and top epics.
Epic, priests drop only dolls and epics and even those are rare drops.
Thing is that only items needed are p2w, rare enchants and top epics which most of are obtained from events and loot boxes.
Bad or too rare events = market dead.
Past lootbox events there very bad, middle tear rewards had very low chances and a lot of ppl ended up getting just fruits, no enchants, no cloth pieces nothing.
When people count they understand that is better not to even try because its very risk risk to get nothing in return.
This makes market "empty", because currently there is no good event, heroic circlet and its enchants are not tradable either. When people can trade sell each other enchant and other stuff then market is "alive".Sealed a grade is useless and low b also so no one bother to put shop and just crystallize and sell crystals and those few who bother satisfy the need of few casual players who need a weapon.
A lot of 1 week lasting illegal servers opened recently draining a lot of casual people.
Those servers attract people because last patches have ONLY small incremental updates on classic which made illegal servers catch up to have almost same server version as classic. There is also no complex scripted instances or anything added in long time.
There is lack of content for casual player and for senior hardcore player also.
Lack of content for small groups (i dont care that 2% of people who have top of top items can solo some instances its not the case)
All theese reasons and many other contribute to market being dead.
Market now is basically people farm adena, even comes, people use event items to enchant or sell for adena thats it..I agree with this assessment. Lets hope they wake up and do something that makes sense for once to reinvigorate the server.

or just make another account and you have infinite slots.

Classic is not F2P friendly?
I though the Live one is not F2P friendly, or both are ?This is not PS, right? This the official server, no ?
Depends on what you mean F2P friendly. If you just want to casual play and take your time it is possible to play with minimal real money investment.
If you want to play competitively or PvP you will need to spend ALOT or have friends to boost you.No this is the official L2 Classic server.
-
I think its both but for different reasons. Of course random crafting has killed value for alot of items but also theres a huge market influx of "expensive" items like dolls, talismans, S grades etc and not so many players needing or having the means to buy them. This eventually leads to prices dropping.
For me an actual new invested player is one that will push past level 80, most people quit at around level 79-80 and all of them are batshit broke when doing so. Its actually one of the main reasons they quit. So who exactly will buy all these end-game expensive items? New end-game players dont exist or are very few, old end-game players already have everything.
-
Just play whatever you like, anything you play will hit a huge roadblock at level 80 eitherways. Dont stress it out and also dont buy gear for adena, just get the Newbie Pack from L2 Store for 1 NCoin to test out the classes.

USA. My towns local Fiber and AirFiber provider.
Maybe I should try plugging my computers directly into the router?
Between setting everything up last night (takes an hour or so) and getting 8 hours of Sleep I woke up two 3/26 toons disconnected and 1 party died as a result. Really getting old.We used to have problems like this from Europe-Greece during mid July early August. Random disconnects on toons for no reason. I would have computer and laptop logged with characters and some would just randomly get dc without any lagspikes. This got fixed after the tales untold update last month. Another user in the forums suggested to check into the Network Adapter Configuration and make sure that the option in Power Management " Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" is unticked.
I hope your issues get fixed soon, it sucks really bad to have disconnects all the time for no reason.

Yeah, I just noticed it..
No Pets from quest (Pet Manager), item drop such as Thread, Coal, etc is 0 adena in NPC. YOu need player to buy it..
LoL...how the hell we get the adena?Buy the Newbie Pack for 1 NCoin, it will take you upto level 60-70 in terms of gear. Any drops you gather throw them into random craft, refresh the list till you get sth valuable that you can sell.
You need to keep in mind that the server economy is balanced around spending money to play properly. While it is possible to be a F2P player it wont be such a good experience unless you have friends that can help you out and are already endgame geared.
Lastly understand that this has nothing to do with old chronicles like C4-Interlude, it is a complete re-imagining of the game and it's taken a completely different approach to economy/balance.
-
Why are you levelling up a Warcryer solo, if you want to main Warcryer make a pony nuker (El Summoner) with a shillien elder and party them up. Otherwise you are in for a world of pain trying to exp just with the Warcryer.
Also if you use Warcryer purely as a buffer then use robes with any weapon having cast speed. If you want to actually play him as a main you got 2 routes, the expensive one (as a mage) and the cheap one (melee). Buy stuff accordingly.

its because actual server model is that you spend eur on shot tickets in nc store, rationaly top zones is where its hard and no way you can farm with box party thats where adena should drop the highest but adena rates are untouched from start of server when everyone cried that they cant start game because of abyssmal rates, thats why so many bots farm low level zones
You can farm but you need like 20-30b adena in gear per character. Meaning full epics/talismans/+16 wpn and all P2W items from each promotion, like hats/cloaks/belts etc. How many people will be geared like this in the life of the server, maybe 100?200?
At least from what i have seen, upto level 79 it's pretty balanced if you purchase the starter packs etc. Then the temporary 30 day items dissapear and you can only farm with shitty gear in trashmob elemental zones with no drops. Maybe you win the lottery and get a doll,maybe not. The only surefire way to be able to play after that point is to start spending big time in order to buy gear. Even then that might allow you to somehow farm elites in elemental zones, or maybe some lower catacombs IF you can find a room.Most people quit around that point realizing they wont make any progress, and that is the main problem of the game and not needing to launch 100 clients in same pc to save electricity.
Terrible event

I can understand your frustration, for the future may i suggest he following:
1) Never buy stuff the first week, wait and see from others the success rates.
2) If you are willing to spend 1500 then its much better to convert that cash into adena and purchase the item directly without risking. You could easily make that 1500 into billions of adena by selling pendant boxes then just buy the damn thing.
3) Gambling is gambling, be prepared to lose big or dont play.
