Katapult

I started mine a week late, and it's currently lv 72 using a mage build. To help with the mana issues, I have steal essence + attack right-clicked, so I cast steal essence once, hit the mob with my staff once, lather rinse repeat.

You're right, these are "imprint" so cannot be traded. The free brooch has 1 slot, so you should be good. If you need more slots, you can buy a higher level brooch (either using nc/l2 coins or from players). I use a lv 4 brooch which gives me 4 slots for different jewels.

Very biased poll, too many options missing. I only use 2 personally, but I don't think my own preference should limit others.

If the toolbar is not using, try alt+L. If that doesn't work, click the item on your bar once, and try alt+L again.

Probably you have too many items in your inventory. Usually you need to get down to 80% or less items.

In this video I open a bunch of candy. I would say I got above average luck on this batch, getting 3 jewels. They are the jewels you can equip in a brooch. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1128751029 If you're a F2P player, though, I'm not sure I would recommend it, although getting a bunch of sayha's grace along the way is not too bad of a consolation prize.

Uploaded two more highlights: Crafting: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1128748660 Star Candy Event: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1128751029 For those wondering if you can actually get jewelry boxes, I got 3 during the stream, and 1 last week!

I got them to +1 for the extra m.def, but the real bonuses start higher up, and they can break going to +2 or more, so it'll be a big money sink once we have more income. Same with the Talismans.

Classic and Aden have a limit of 10 accounts, Live has a limit of 3 accounts. I would recommend reaching out to the support team to find out what happened.

Not sure what changed, but on my side the item lag appears to be completely gone, but asking around I get mixed results. It looks like some are still getting it. On the other hand, the rate of spamming hp pots seems to be much lower, so I wasn't able to survive vs mobs of my level. Come to think of it, if the price of the Special HP potions were higher (10x the hp, maybe 15x or 20x the cost, not 30k per potion), that'd probably make the game much more enjoyable, and reduce the item spam quite a lot with 1 easy change. Or make VR available to all classes. Edit: also not having c-grade armor at lv 73 would probably help too.

@Sunshine@Hime@Juji Item lag is back. Regular items is about a 5 second lag, L2 store and L2 Coin Store are about 1 minute before you get the confirmation and the item. It feels like what you did has improved things a bit, but still a way to go. After each reboot we're good for an hour or two before things start slowing down again.

Thanks to the team working late tonight to get this resolved!

Since most PCs can't run 10 boxes (my CPU runs at 85%+ with 3 clients if I turn down most graphics to minimum), reducing the # of boxes won't help as much as people think. If we look at L2 live where the limit is 3 boxes, you'll see many players having multiple computers so they can connect as many accounts as they want. I am confident that with the right tweaks to the cloud hardware, they can get this running smoothly without changing anything drastically. On the other hand, an event that rewards people extra drops + the related crafting is probably not the best at a time where the server is already struggling in processing items. @Sunshine In case this isn't on your radar yet, quests from the popup window (daily/weekly/etc.) are also being affected. My regular quests (kill 400 mobs + reach level x) I can't say since on 1 character I out-leveled those quests, and the other two have the required kills and just need the levels.

I bought it on my Sylph, and while her mp doesn't drain as quickly, it's still out of mana after a few minutes. I can't quantify how much mp / tick it's getting, but it takes at least a few minutes to go from empty to full mp. So it's definitely not a game changer, but I got it because every little bit helps.

I get it intermittently, maybe 2-3 times per day I die because potions are getting used up once every 5-10 seconds instead of multiple per second. Also I am noticing intermittent NPC lag, like purchasing from the L2Store took like 15-20 seconds before the confirmation popped up after clicking the purchase button. Same thing with opening some interfaces like the warehouse.
