Thanks very much.

I haven't played my dual in a long time and I am admittingly way overdue in leveling it up.
I noticed my Dyes/Tattoos don't appear on my dual leading to quite a large drop in my Dex.
Is it normal for them to not appear on Dual?

I get this error sometimes especially after I DC and I click the "start game" button and I found you simply have to open task manager and close the game from there.
Then just start from the beginning by signing into game.
No you shouldn't have to do this but it's an easy solution and doesn't take long.

What is the point of having an additional week of this when all rewards have expired and there is nothing left to pick.

What is the point of having an extra week of daily (garbage) rewards using the attendance check function when it expired Tuesday and there is no extension.

When you target the mob, you'll have a color in the target window. There is no setting for that, it's just an indicator that hints for many levels you're apart from the mob.
On a side note..... you must be complete newbie to l2, since this feature has been around for more then 17 years now.
Thank you Mixa, never noticed.
I played Dark Age Of Camelot from about the age of 9 until I left for the navy. I've been playing L2 for about a year and a half and up level 115. Great game except for the difficulty of obtaining decent gear without selling your kidneys and other vital organs.

I hear a lot of people saying things like "oh that mob was green to me" or "that mob was hard to kill, it was red".
I assume they're talking about the actual names?
All the mobs appear only in white lettering, do I have a setting wrong somewhere?

Hi @Athelind
that depends on how you approach the game
the players have already given you some advicebut if you want to have good gear and a good weapon, artifacts, dyes, etc. in the short term, that is, in a few months, go take out the card and leave a fortune in it (so you only further promote the poor state of the servers)
Or if you think about playing without donating anything. Keep in mind that everything will be in the long term, that is, years.
so my advice is that if you like the game, come in and try to set up daily parties and grow xp make friends and have a good time
Yes....almost verbatim what I said above.

So I'm a new player my main and dual are 105 startting the 3rd exalted quest but how I'm supposed to get gear if evything cost billons and the adena drops is practically non existant? can anyone give me some tips on where can I farm adena or what items get to sell? thanks
I can only tell you from my own experiences in this game what I did and it may or may not help you.
You cannot try and rush things, doesn't work that way. The exalted gear you get from NPC Lionel is good enough for now. What is your class? Joining a clan is helpful, join parties, at your level you'll spend the next few levels in Beleth and vicinity where you have to grind.
Everything takes time in this games, it's not only the weapon and armour it's also the accessories, the dyes, tattoos, artifacts, agathions, jewels etc.
Just have fun, the longer you stay and have patience better gear will eventually come.

I go to Crisis everyday to collect the Freya's Scrolls.
Ever notice how Crisis is the only place you cannot find a recharge stone for even though it theoretically exists.
-
I have no issue at all spending some adena for these scrolls however what I object too is the following.
#1 are the ridiculous markups we have to endure from the greedy vendors in Giran, some as high as a 1000 % profit but it's part of the game and allowed so we have to live with it.
#2 is the horrible chance you have at being successful in an enchant but I have no intention of using a regular or giants scroll after it's taken a good amount of time to level them up. As you all know the chances of success using a Gran Kain scroll is so poor it's almost not worth it but you try anyway.

Hi, my southamerican piece of sh$%t PC is the problem ? or this happen to everybody?
Impossible to play, extremly LAG, FREEZE, CRASHES
i like this kind of events but almost me, i can t play them.
Anyone else happen the same? maybe we need the horribles generic visual armors like when we log in to the game, like in the last event, the ORC with the club/stick
Happens to me sometimes...try restarting your character in game before you go to instance.

WHY YOU GUYS DID THIS?
PLEASE CHECK IT PLZ. ALL PLAYERS THAT HAVE THESE ITEMS WILL LOOSE THEM IN 10 DAYS . I THINK ITS NOT FAIR FOR ALL

Another issue I found.
Why do my 494,000+ Blessed Spiritshots (I've always had that quantity or thereabouts, they go down slowly) now all of a sudden have an expiration/deletion date of 11/16/2022?

Party Return from a healer does not get you out of Imperial Tomb anymore
I had to restart after using "party return" and it dumps you Goddard in front of NPC Leopard.

Noticed these.
Says you can buy Adventurers Scrolls at the Red Libra merchant, that is incorrect, it is the Pink Libra Merchant.
The reward chest you receive after defeating the Castilla boss which contains Freya's Rose, Shining Dragon and Honey Dark Beer are being stacked with the event temporary consumables instead of the existing permanent ones.

Why? DW1 are easy enough to get these days and if you have a DW above 1 you should have really thought about the class before you upgraded.
This poster and others on this thread and I quote mention "DW1 weapons are easy enough to get these days".
Would you mind sharing how???
I am one of the idiots that buy the chests in every event and sit there hoping for a dragon weapon that of course never comes and I say to myself I am not buying any more of these but the next day I do all over again anyway.
It hasn't been a complete loss as I have managed to get Dragon earrings (2) , necklace and other rare accessories.
Anyway I still want a Dragon Bow and will continue to play this great game.

I saw this listed in collections.
What is Holy Crimson Armour?...Does it exist and if so where does one acquire it?

First, I would like to say that I have always been a fan of the world of Lineage ever since I began playing Lineage I in 1999. The real life friends I have made through the game will endure long after we dismount and hang up our weapons for good. Having played a wide variety of MMOs on the market over the years, Lineage II is by far one of the most visually stunning games on the market. It continues to be my “go to” recreation when I want to de-stress from a long day at work. Second, I cannot speak for everyone who plays Lineage II. I can only speak for myself and my experiences in the game, which may vary considerably from other players.
As I write this letter, I am reminded of an interview by GameSpot back in 2003 with Raoul Kim, then lead game designer for Lineage II. I quote, “RK: While Lineage II is basically intended as a solo-play game, we also gave significant consideration to group play as well. In fact, you can have a lot of fun either way. There are a lot of things to do and a lot of adventures in the game when you play solo. Grouping together with others is much more critical at higher levels of the game. That's when castle sieges occur and when players must group together to overcome high-level monsters. Overall, people can enjoy the game either by playing alone or by playing with others as a group. We made sure that people will have fun in both cases.”
I was fortunate to participate in Lineage II’s Closed Beta, Open Beta, and Prelude to going live. Based on those experiences the first character I created was a crafter, and the second was an archer. Through Chronicle 5 I was our clan’s primary crafter for equipment and materials. During this time pro-farmers took control of the markets and made it difficult for normal players to earn their own way without engaging in RMT. I will also say that 3rd party apps have always been part of the game. From dark elf assassins on Talking Island the very first day to near invincible parties in castle sieges, normal players have always had to endure those who bypass legitimate game mechanics in pursuit of their desire to dominate through any means. To be blunt … cheating IS cheating. Enough said about that.
In recent years NCSoft/NCWest has tried to administer changes in game mechanics to address what I would call “bad human behavior,” including botting and RMT. The result was a more restrictive gameplay environment for the normal player, and a game market that is out of control. Crafters became irrelevant and most have been deleted or sidelined. I know as I deleted by first character awhile back. The game moved to “Free to Play” and became even worse for players and more players became dependent upon on RMT or paying through the nose for “events” that used to be free to all players. Remember the early Squash events? They were great! I get it that developers were, at some point, trying to “fix” areas that players complained about. But that seems to have been thrown out the window en lieu of a system designed to extract as much revenue as possible out of the player base without providing commensurate game satisfaction.
The current state of the game is as bad as I’ve ever seen it. As a clan leader, it is impossible to support the needs of my clan members because we are unable to “farm” or “quest” for what we need. While there is a fast track for leveling a toon up to level 105, organic equipment provided in the game is useless for normal game play. Forget Raoul Kim’s intent for an enjoyable game for all. Forget the opportunity to earn in game rewards or be able to build a character up without spending an inordinate amount of $$$. The element system and vitality system instituted in the past few years has driven the market to a place where many players have no choice but to engage in bad behavior, spend a lot of money, or quit. And believe me, I have personally witnessed this through my own clan members. And it’s frustrating as hell because I do not condone bad behavior.
Realizing that this forum has zero chance of instigating any meaningful changes to the game, here are some changes that could benefit the player base and keep this wonderful game alive for years to come:
1. Do away with the vitality system in its entirety. All the vitality system has done is drain the economy as people try to level at a reasonable rate. Adding xp/sp stats to items is fine. All you need to do is create a reasonable exp wall and wallah!, players will engage. It was brutal when the game began, but paying for it is just stupid.
2. Return to a meaningful crafting system and adjust drops appropriately. If you hunt in a 115 area, you shouldn’t be rewarded with 110 level items. That’s building down, not up. You should be rewarded with items that can get you to the next level.
3. If you truly want to make the game effort-based and fair, make items across the board non-tradeable and create a store where people who want to spend money instead of farm for items can do so. It shouldn’t be “either/or.” It’s the only way to make the game RMT free. I’m sure this isn’t popular with many, but that doesn’t make it not true.
4. Balance out the element system. Right now, because people can’t afford gear, they can’t play in the vast majority of hunting areas at their level. I understand making the game a challenge, but making it unplayable isn’t the answer. The game is supposed to appeal to different types of players.
5. Fix the help system by providing more information on game mechanics. In years gone by, fan sites worked hard to build decent data centers so people could figure out what they were doing. Most, if not all, have long since died or are not public. Information sharing is your best friend, whether you accept that or not. Now it’s just a guessing game for most and frustrating.
6. And finally, please bring back some meaningful quests that give good rewards and decent xp if you’re successful. The few instances and a handful of dragons isn’t sufficient to support a wide-ranging player base. Lineage used to have some great storyline-based quests that fed the RPG perspective of the game. Let’s go there again, please.
I’m sure there are those that vehemently disagree with some or all of what I’ve presented here. That’s okay. I’m just one person with one point of view. There are only a handful of us left who have been here since before the beginning. We’ve hung in there through all the ups and downs. Why you ask? Because it’s a great game. There are always going to be those that complain, but ignoring everyone to avoid the background noise is not the answer. Time to change your tune to the benefit of all current and future players of Lineage II.
