Everyone has already stated the problem; not much more to say. I'm just adding my support to this thread. Bad odds, bad rewards...... BAD EVENT!

Are you kidding me?? Even 40 is too much.... 600-800m for a RANDOM lv1 Gem (Chronos Prices). With how many it takes to make a lv5 it is cheaper to buy ANY Jewel off the market as opposed to trying to make your own. And the 10% gamble craft..... nope! With these insanely high prices I bet only a handful top Gems are crafted.

It really is astonishing. This is literally the first company I have ever interacted with which chooses to make LESS $$ for no apparent reason other than laziness. If they even took the time to look at the market they would see these cloaks could make tons of money if they were more accessible. Instead, they introduce promos which cause the value of Cloaks to dramatically increase and then.... they use the new inflated price (which they caused) to determine their next promo prices. They are completely un-aware that those who can afford +15++ already have them and those who want them can't afford the new promo prices. And so... less and less sales when these promos come around.

NA Player here (EST) and, I got to be honest, I like the current DT times. I realize it is inconvenient for Oly players but.... with the current state of Oly, I kinda think it is just a trade off Oly farmers have to make. 98% of the population is locked out of Oly anyway because of whales/feeds so, it's their choice; compete in Oly or go to DT. Siege argument is irrelevant; 2 hours of missed DT ONCE every 2 weeks? Come on...... As far as weekday DT; I like the times but I won't care if they shifted either.

I know it's wishful thinking but is there any chance you could ban the botters abusing the current event to win the top prize? It's painfully obvious some people are cheating to win.

I can understand not lowering prices for a promo; I don't like it but ok. But you have effectively INCREASED prices with the current promo. That is simply terrible......

In PvE +16 Limited Dual Daggers are substantially better than DW Shaper. Limited has higher Crit Dmg (assuming Kain 10+), 15% PvE Dmg, and 11.2% Soul Shot Bonus DW Shaper has More P.Attack and 50 more Element (that is it). Factor in it is virtually impossible to get Aug on DW at the moment and you can add another 15%-20% Damage to R110 over DW.

As others have pointed out, problem is 2-fold; too much adena and not enough items. This combination is creating hyper-inflation and scarcity. @Juji it needs to be addressed in some way; please.

OK so I went back and took a look at your gear and I will give you some advice. Before I do I want to point out that prior to the last Red Libra I was a 116 Healer who could solo WoA and do Castilla 120 if I played it live (I usually macro'ed 115 because I am lazy). In SoS groups I would AOE magic crit for 50k and with all procs I would hit for 200k. I would literally cycle group/balance and AOE nukes. First thing I will say is that under virtually ALL circumstances I found robes to be significantly better. The only advantage Light Armor has is reuse BUT, after buffs and other items it was only 1-2 seconds difference on your primary skills. It simply wasn't worth giving up all the other benefits of robes. I am not a fan of Ferios cloaks unless they are +13++. For the price of a +7 Ferios you could get 12+ months worth of Nevits which are so much better. I also don't think you need a Radiant Grace or HP SA's. Take a few moments to really think about it. If you are in a party in Ketra/Varka/SoS you will have a tank and shouldn't take much damage. Even with offensive gear you will be able to take a few hits and you can always switch AP as needed. Why don't you try this and see if it helps. Use Bless Exalted Circlet instead of Grace, use Exalted Cloak instead of Ferios (or get a Nevits), use your +0 Blessed exalted Robes instead of the +10 light. And switch your SAs to all M.Crit. When you get a better score then consider going all out damage on your healer.

So.... I think this is a gear issue and not a class (healer) issue. If you have the EXACT same gear on a healer and a nuker the healer isn't going to do 50% less dmg in PvE (I am talking low/mid not endgame toons). With Inquisitor on a healer does about 30% less Dmg than a true Feoh. With the double points bonus a healer set up like a nuker should actually be able to make a higher score. At your level I'm not really even sure what "full PVE def" means. You can change AP/Dual skills back and forth very easily. What else are you referring too? Just FYI healer gets more M.Attack with caster/buster because of their unique sigel mastery passive.

There were lots of changes in game which were not reflected in Patch Notes. For example; the amount of Augment Stone Crystals (item from FS spoiler) needed for Augment Stones was increased. That is a nerf for the FS class. You don't see me petitioning about it. Stuff like this happens almost every update. It is what it is. Only archers can do 2x IoS spots because Quick Charge. And no, no other class can (not even Feoh with teleport skill). I think you misunderstand my argument (not surprising considering this reply). Archers are still better than most other classes at PvE/Farming; which you have confirmed. Perhaps you should respond to the people upset about the nerf and not me. I don't want to play archer and, I never will. It's a FOTM class which I avoid; that's for people like you it seems

Proof of what?? It's widely understood (and confirmed by other regions patch notes) the Skill Crit Rate for Pinpoint and Quickshot were substantially decreased. They were/are a Yuls strongest single target skills because of the ignore pdef effect. So, they were nerfed. As you further illustrated its not a bug so what's the point of further support tickets?

OK, lets clarify a few things here. ToI 1 is 50% (mobs lowered by 2 levels) ToI 2 is roughly the same but harder mobs so less adena (I assumed this is where you hunt with your gear) ToI 3 is ?? (IDK about ToI 3) So if you are hunting 1st floor then yes, you are making less but so is everyone else. I'm really surprised you didn't take the time to LOOK at the adena amounts, it's clearly less. IoS 2 is also 10-15% less adena DROPPING. So anyone who can clear is making roughly the same amount of adena regardless of class. So, what's the problem with this? If you try and "bot" 2x spots then sure, you can get banned but you have the option to play live. Only archers can do 2 spots regardless (live or "macr"). So again, whats the problem? It sounds to me as though archers are more in-line with other DD class (but still stronger in PvE/Adena farm) but you are mad because you got a nerf?

Well; if a Tyrr/Dagger/Feoh had same gear they would make same amount so....... what's the problem? If you can 1-shot mobs with +12 weap as opposed to +21 then... great? And like I said; if you wanted to you could run 2x spots and make 2x Adena. No other class can do 2x IoS spots. EDIT: You know there was an Adena Nerf in IoS/ToI right? Both are about 10-15% less. So it's not as if only archers are making less adena. Everyone who does IoS is.

A 1-shot is a 1-shot. If you wanted to you could play live and do 2x spots on your archer. At which point you would double your adena. I don't blame you for NOT doing that; it would be horrible. But as an archer you CAN do that and no other class can. And ofc plenty of Archers do run 2x spots.

IDK; what is a "normal gear" archer and how do they compare to a "normal gear" Tyrr/Dagger/Feoh. I'll go ahead and answer that for you; they are STILL better at PvE/Adena farming so........yeah.

You don't do ToI/IoS.............. what are you even talking about; everyone "cares" about adena. More adena = better gear/pots = better at PvE/PvP. You are right that NC should have given a heads up but it's not like it's surprising. NCwest is always last to know.

I try to empathize with archers but then I see statements like this and my empathy just evaporates. Did you read what equitalia wrote a few post up?? He STILL farms 4b+ / day. No other class can do that (none even come close). What would you have switched to??? A class that makes 40% less adena/day? It's almost as if Archers have been #1 for so long that ANY type of nerf is........ OMFG UNACCEPTABLE!!!!!! It doesn't matter that they're still the best adena farmers in game; nope, any nerf is a personally insult and should be addressed immediately. Yeah, it sucks yall weren't informed sooner but it's not like you still can't do the one thing you choose archer for in first place; farming more adena than any other class........ And sorry; I don't buy the whole "I like archer and I have always played one in every MMO." I've seen FAR too many people reroll Yul (or w/e the FOTM is) to believe that argument.

Current mob attribute values have been discussed extensively on the L2 Discord server. This information is readily available in other regions. And......yes, it's been tested on our servers by multiple end game players. Our mob attribute values are the same as KR, EU, RU, etc. Edit: The lack of readily available attribute boosting equipment is the biggest "screw you" from NC West right now. Even "end-game" players with "only" +30 weapons can't do DV and Fafurion because of low attribute attack.

I am shocked at some of the gear recommendations coming from known players (who should no better). Your gear is fine for your level with the exception of TWO key things. As Hyper said; you need Bloody weap and Bloody Rune; that is 30%+ dmg. Additionally (and arguably more important) you need MUCH higher attribute attack. Attribute is one of the things NC changed that is screwing SO MANY players ATM. Storm mobs have 1370 Attribute Defense; IoS have 1520!!!!! I can only assume your attribute attack is LOW (around 1k?). A 110 needs 1300 - 1400 unbuffed to be able to make decent adena in Storm/IoS. If you changed that ONE thing on your toon (getting 1500~ attribute full buffed) you would notice a huge improvement.

I have heard that "Damage to Immobile" is bugged so might be better to put in 2 points into Ele Attack Wizard until 110 and then change to get 10% Dmg. And yes, ALL you need is: /useskill Ride Sidestep /attack The reason for this is, it will keep Inside Position up 100%. This proc buff is better than what you would get from the other debuffs (Laterl Hit, etc.). Also take a look at how SLOW the skill use is on Lateral Hit. You can literally get 2-3 normal hits in the time it takes to use that skill.

??? Where does it say this? Certainly NOT in the skill description.

+1 JoeBob You guys are just completely missing a stab. There is nothing new or "broken" about this. Daggers have ALWAYS missed stabs. This is the trade-off daggers have for getting stab dmg from NORMAL (p.attack) crit dmg. No other class gets a dmg boost to their skills from regular crit dmg. Daggers get a boost from normal and skill crit dmg. It doesn't happen much but it DOES happen. It is what it is.

The end of L2 in real time..... For those of you who do not know, the rewards for exchanging Event Dragon Weapons were changed with maintenance. So for example; where yesterday a +12 Event Dragon Slayer gave a lv4 Crap Jewel it now gives a Dragon Claw (yes; a F@#$ing DRAGON CLAW). Where a +10 Dragon Slayer gave 3x Forg Books it now gives a +16-+18 Cloak Destruction Scroll..... EDIT: I'm just waiting to see what NC does about this but I think this is it for me.

Crazy stupid move NC. I also enchanted a fair amount and now this...... It's totally messed up and I think it will finally force me to quit.
