Yes it sux that Plunderous was nerfed but you can still make adena in this game. I make 700m+ / day (or did before Ketra lol). I'm a 110 Tyrr with +12 r110 Bloody Weap, lv4 gems, older boss jewels (no gods), normal dyes, etc. It's above average gear but nothing crazy at all. AFK AOE 1 hour PI = 8 scrolls (average) 100m - 300m AFK AOE 1 hour Storm = 100m AFK Single Target IoS = 150m AFK 12 hour Tanor/AI/FoM/IoP = 300m I use an OOP Overlord and that's it. Nothing special. Made about 5b from the letter event. Probably 250m / week from Aden Chest. So that's 20b+ a month. Yeah, it isn't spectacular but I'm not hurting. When I'm not being lazy I'll even play the dailies live and make more. I'll also add that Wastelands is the "new" Plunderous. I don't kill fast enough but mobs drop 50k+ and Greater Aden Chest. You just need to be fairly strong/high to kill there.

Ketra/Varka is AMAZING! Unfortunately, I would estimate that 90% of the server simply aren't strong enough to take advantage of it. So thank you NC soft bringing it here as quick as you did. I just wish there was a comparable group area with 107/108 mobs. Wishful thinking...

Yeah but it's irrelevant whether there is an order of application or not because it doesn't alter the reuse. It doesn't matter if your Evas rune is applied first or last the end result is the same. I suspect HandsVSkills numbers are either wrong (most likely) or he has discovered that the reuse description in one of the items he tested is a fraction of a percentage off (not likely but possibly).

One more thing, if my formula is "non sense" but it matches the OPs numbers could you please enlighten us and explain how reuse "really" works :).

Wait wait wait; you're telling me because you see a 2.4 second difference in reuse between items which give 30% total on a 1200 second reuse skill my initial assessment is wrong lol. You know your "variance" is something like .2% right??? Forgive me if I question your numbers and analysis. Hell .2% can be random serving lag or operator lag. BTW, how did you "see" 2.4 seconds lol.

10*.96*.95*.9*.9*.8*.9 = 5.318784 10*.9*.8*.9*.9*.95*.96 = 5.318784 (opposite order) The mathz is stronk?

Ambicija is trolling you guys. It is impossible for a solo player to go from 105-110 in 3 months only spending $100/month. Literally impossible and he knows it. It IS however possible if you are being assisted by player(s) who spend $1k+ / month. Again, he knows all this; some people just like to troll to make themselves feel good....

Cooldown (reuse) reductions are applied consecutively NOT concurrently. So taking your numbers in order; your first reduction of 4% EQUALS 4% of 10 minutes. Your second reduction of 5% EQUALS 5% of your new reuse (9 min 35 sec) and NOT 13% of the base 10 minute reuse. And so on..... Numbers check out to me.

Should have made the letters tradeable would have been a nice little bit of adena for lowbies....

+1 Sometimes it's the small things that can let us know you care......

They didn't destroy it. FoS isn't supposed to be the best spot for 50%+ of the server but, it is..... The problem is the extreme bottleneck on our servers. Level 108 - 111 players have VERY few options and FoS gives best xp/hr.

I opened my my first batch of letters on Tuesday night (9/1) because I was scared NC would mess up and delete all the letters. Rewards were pretty bad but it's free pots/adena so w/e. Here is a summation of what I got; 17x Silenite 11x Elcyum Crystals 30x BEAR 80x GEAR 80x EWR 400x EAR Bazillion Pots I'll Post second batch 10 days.

I wanted to bring up a situation I'm sure MANY players are concerned with; the scarcity of materials to upgrade some of the equipment in-game. I'm specifically referring to Gemstone Powders, Star Signs, and Crystals of Dawn. It would be nice if NC made this stuff more accessible. I don't even care if it's in the NC store. Just give us the option to get them with buying loot boxes (Hero Coins maybe). With the introduction of Enchant Scrolls for Artifact Books/Agathions Bracelets/ Brooches it would seem obvious to give us the ability to actually use them....

If the mobs are 112 then they will be yellow to a 108. They can still do it but there will be a damage penalty. Also you have to assume the mobs will have 1700+ element Defense.

I'm going to open all my words tomorrow evening. Between 2 toonsI have roughly; 170x LINEAGEII 300x NCSOFT 500x TALES

I have a mix of both right now but I am slowing switching to power on most skills. Tyrr skills are weird; Sonic Star and Infinity Strike have a very high base crit rate, everything else is pretty low. Enchanting skills with focus didn't seem to change that for me. I am just now (over the last 2 weeks) switching to a skill crit build so I'm still experimenting with some stuff.

Either is fine really.

Should carefully check your damage log; sounds like you were Marked by a summoner.

Here is a simple guide to get you going; Keep hunting and saving while you go for 106. Be a puller in Coal Mines AOE groups and try to find 24/7 Hellbound Parties (this stuff is pretty common on Chronos). You'll need enough Rune Stones for your Golem and Spirit of Golem Skills; 16 total (most important) Get a dual class 105 for the Dual Skills, they really add up. AP is pretty straight forward; focus on normal Crit Damage, Ele Attack, and P.Attack until you get much stronger. Item Suggestions; Mystic Soul Crystal for your Exalted Weap - 2b Longing - 2b PvE Attack Belt - 1b +5 Noble Authority - 5b +5 Your Dragon Shirt - 1-3b +5 Veterans Mask - Lots of Mentee Coins +12 Atlas Earring - Even more Mentee Coins Stage 8 Venir - 500m? When you hit 106 start using your Golem to assist (if you learned Spirit of Golem). It doesn't need shots. You should be able to kill EV mobs pretty fast solo and maybe even SV mobs depending on what items you have.

?? None; just like AFK archers aren't getting any letters, or Adens Chest..... As far as beginner Maestros are concerned... how is a new Maestro any worse off than a new Yul/Feoh? They are ALL gonna have a REALLY hard time leveling. At least as soon as a Maestro hits 106 the can full solo EV in nothing but exalted and self buffs; a feoh/yul can't do that (tested and confirmed). And yeah, top Tyrrs can easily AFK IoS, Uzume is a high level stacked Tyrr and he can confirm it.

Should watch Gicobbe (115 Glad) in IOS. He kills faster than almost all archers. I got a question for you? How many Scrolls do Yuls get AFK in PI compared to Tyrrs

ikanair is misleading you. He is comparing stacked archers to mid-gear Tyrrs (only a handful of stacked Tyrrs in all NCNA). A stacked Tyrr kills just as fast as a stacked Yul/Feoh. Both can easily clear a group of mobs in the current patch. I would even go so far as to argue that an average geared Tyrr kills faster than an average geared Yul/Feoh. I'll take it one step further and argue that Maestros (and Evis) are the STRONGEST characters with just beginner gear.

After 4 days of the new patch I have to say it's even worse than I first realized. If you want to nerf XP fine, it is what it is. But, the structural changes in this patch have done something I have never seen before (in 16+ years of L2 and ever other MMO I have played), it is EASIER for higher level players to gain XP (and levels) than for lower level players.... This is not an exaggeration, players 112 and under are getting LESS XP while 113+ players are getting the same XP (sometimes more) as before the update (excluding XP event). I have been wracking my brain trying to think of a workable solution; the only thing I can come up with is changing the XP tables and putting in a soft cap somewhere. Otherwise, I really don't know how this game survives. For my own part, I simply can't progress in a meaningful way. If something isn't changed in a couple of weeks I'm gonna quit. This isn't a threat, I don't want to quit but, I can't play a game where I put in the same amount of time/adena/$$ as a higher level player and yet they are able to INCREASE the level difference between us. That is insane and contrary to the bedrock foundations of RPGs/MMOs (harder to level the higher you get). I really hope it's addressed.......

Equal gear Maestro is probably stronger than a Yul in PvE (and maybe PvP). Technically this applies to all Tyrrs in the current patch. People won't believe this because there aren't any stacked Maestro's and only a handful of stacked Tyrrs. Can a 500b Archer full solo IT? Maybe but I promise I am faster. Also, switch to Skill Crit Build; there is nothing better than one-shoting a mob with Jump Attack! That is why I said re-read Spirit and our Masteries. We have the 2nd highest P.Skill Crit Rate of any Tyrr. EDIT: Who cares if the 30% Proc was slightly nerfed. I still do Castilla 115 and I AOE IoP!!

WTH are you even talking about? I'm a 110 Maestro it it's a pretty solid class. I'm probably a 500b toon as well and I am pretty pleased with my toon. We're not the strongest Tyrr out there but we're not the weakest either (IMO). I'm not sure how you are setup but I plow mobs..... Have you read the descriptions of Spirit of Golem and Superior Blunt Weapon Mastery (hint hint).
