Who told you there's a limit of 1 cloak per account?

Prestige is only available on LIVE. Meaning Chronos and Naia. If you don't play live, maybe get in touch with support and try and refund your purchase. Or start playing Live. Either way, you decide.

is it 4 weeks or 2? you say 4, the event page says 2

Do you have characters on Naia or Chronos?

I will be honest. All these "give us an ingame store" posts that keep popping up remind me of all those idiotic "make this game f2p, it's too expensive paying $45/month for my main/buffer/bd" posts that kept creeping up 11 years ago. PS inflated ingame item prices are an incentive for you to spend more rl money to get these "rare" items. That's the NCWest model. It aint gonna change PS2 The content is what it is. THere's no difference in the content here or in other territories. All NCWest can do is nerf what's there (make mobs stronger/make adena drops less) to make you spend more rl money to progress. PS3 If you don't see a pattern there ...

The people that whine about Aden are idiots. Everybody knew Aden was going to be p2w to the max, we had experience from the Essence servers 4game runs. If they failed to do their due diligence it's their own damn fault.

I am sorry to say this, but you invested very poorly. Your gear doesn't reflect the money you spent. For reference, never ever open "random loot" boxes, whatever they call them every month, from ncoin store, unless you are rich enough in game to buy them with adena. When these events happen, look around and see how much buy shops are buying the loot boxes for, to figure out the ncoin-> adena exchange rate. If the rate is favorable, buy and sell the boxes, NEVER gamble on opening them.

Most people aren't annoyed by the lack of drops, because most understood, not now, the day F2P was announced, that this is where the game was heading. It's an old game, which to be 100% honest NCWest has managed very badly since the days it was P2P, and as interest in it wanes, the more each remaining individual would have to pay to play, even though the sign at the door says free. We live in the real world. If this game was completely free, then how would the employees get paid? In hugs? Revenue has to be generated. People that demand to be able to play completely free, frankly, scare me with their failure to grasp that basic principle. And their expectation for others to subsidize their entertainment. What gets people super annoyed and quitting is ncwest's model of random low chance everything. In a way it's like running a grocery store, where the client walks in expecting to pay 5 euro/usd and buy 4 apples, and the store policy is no, you can only pay 20 and buy a mystery box that may contain 8 apples, it may contain 4 boxes of 10000 toothpicks or it may contain 4 cans of pea soup. But hey, buy 10 mystery boxes and we 'll give you a 20% discount. It's absurd, there's no transparency because there's no published odds, it forces people to spend way too much and lots of people have quit because of it. You object to having to pay 200 billion adena for a +7 Elmore, but fail to realize the person that made that +7 Elmore had to spend 300 usd/euro + on junky enchant rates and expensive scrolls to make it. If they were lucky. Cause there are people that spent multiples of that, and ended up with pretty much nothing. But in any case, reality is what it is. This game is way past the "grind and you 'll get there" stage. It's at a stage where a real world financial commitment is expected, if you want to "enjoy" whatever content the game offers. The newer you are, the bigger the financial commitment. Like others have said, if this was still p2p and you had been playing 10 years and paying 30 bucks/euro a month for your main and buffer accounts, you would have paid 3600 usd/euro into this game .... well it sucks the game still "forces" you to pay that money to enjoy the content, even though the label says "free", but wishing it didn't won't change anything.

I think he means "selling" ncoin during enchanting events (as opposed to during click box get pots events) is more profitable

People are telling you that the reality of this game in 2021 is you need that gear, and you 're not going to gather it with a F2P account. In some ways it makes sense, other people have been playing (and paying) non stop for 10, 15, whatever years, expecting to catch them up effortlessly would be unfair to them. The fact of the matter is, no, you can't farm the adena you need in this game for free. If you had been playing for those 15 whatever years, and stayed ahead of the curve maybe you could self sustain. But starting late ... you can't. The game helps you more that it ever has, pretty much gets you to 105/105 for free. When I first played, I remember pretty much having to walk from Giran to the Dwarven/Orc villages for my 37lvl quest, cause tp was too expensive for the adena I was making. From 105/105 you have to 2 forks in the road. Buy adena (ie buy Ncoin items, sell them, make adena, gear yourself) or continue f2p, which will be a frustrating experience. That's reality. What do you want people to tell you? It will all be fine and when you hit 109 billions upon billions will fall on your lap? The game isn't designed to do that. Now whether you choose to believe the game isn't designed to do that is so that RMTs have a very tough time making a business, or whether you choose to believe the game is designed that way to help NCWest make money is your decision. But that's reality. There's two categories of players. Players that have gear and levels, and those people generate the bulk of the adena in the server, and then there's everyone else who wants adena but needs to find a way to sell those people things they need ingame, in order to get the adena. The easiest thing to sell them is NCoin items.

I have a sneaking suspucion you are asking in the wrong forum. This is live. Prophets haven't existed here in 10 years. We have iss, and all their buffs are party buffs that don't require a target, except hiero's 101 prophecy buff If you want Aden, click the Aden section of the forum. The game mechanics for Aden are different than here

I didn't. You are missing the fact, whether you are buying Ncoin, Einhasad coin or fufucoin, the eula covers them. The ingame store doesn't have dollar prices, it has (insertname)coin prices, you are spending a digital currency you bought from them. The digital good you bought is the coin, and you consumed it. It has nothing to do with buying a digital copy of Cardi B's new mixtape for $10 from amazon prime.

if that was true every account that had ever bought a non consumable item from the ncoin store (for example the blessed exalted set, a cloak, a shirt, an agathion, whatever) would be immune from banning (or at the very least entitled to compensation if banned). I believe the legal aspect (access to the game, server and items stored in it) is covered by the EULA. I doubt the issue is legal. The issue is , I think, they are afraid if everyone can get what they want when they want it, then the last few thousand playing on the servers will quit, because if you remove the item acquisition part of the game, what's left? Endlessly wacking mobs afk for years to get 120? And even if you do, what content do you have to look forward to at 120?. So they stick with gamble model, that keeps supply minimal and addicted players gambling.

you can buy everything with Gem R, it's a storage container for wealth. You want a dragon bow that I 'm selling for 2 trillion? Excellent, trade me 1587301 Gem R (which I can NPC gradually and get 2 trillion) You run no risk, I run no risk, trade done. You want to buy multiple items from AH totaling more than 1 trillion? Excellent, make a few trips to the grocer and sell gemr. That's how we used to do it way back when the adena limit was 100 million. Obviously Gem R, wasn't available back then, and Gem S went through ancient adena (lol remember those?) so we used other high npc price items that stacked. That issue is completely separate from the coin store. The coin store will jut put a ceiling on item prices, and ensure supply always meets demand. That's a totally separate issue from the adena limit.

NCWest has historically never ever listened to its player base. Their right, of course, but after 17 years it's silly to expect different.

The game was fun 15 years ago, when a siege involved 200 parties, and open field pvp was a daily occurrence. Now the game is just feeding the addiction of those that are in their 30s and rapidly heading into middle age (I include myself in that) and have disposable income. And sieges involve 2 and a half parties and people afk grind for years and just spend real money to buy digital items as if those items will make them "endgamers" If you look at the actual content the game provides, it's truly pityful.

Yeah, mobile game, except it's global, not just Korea only (hence the W for World)

The funny thing the antibot isn't really stoping bots again ... I saw plenty of script kiddies over the weekend

*to become great

an archer maybe can't farm ios without 500billion worth of gear, other classes can. There's a reason archers are good, but very expensive to become good.

That's why I said 300 is on the cheap side and realistically you need closer to 500. Add everything you listed up and see I mean you don't *need* some of the items, for example you can throw 2-3 billion on your exalted talisman and make a Longing which is "good enough". You can buy a chef monkey belt instead of rulers which is 1/5 th the price. etc etc. Level 3 book you can do after 114, cmon, if you buy everything before 110 what's the point in farming? What's left, a dragon weapon? PS some of the items you list are really not needed for farming. Farming = 1 max 2 shoting mobs and getting the adena. Severn Signs, protection = pointless. Lots of defensive items are pointless. You will need them(and can buy them) later in game. Same applies to Greater kaliel's ...

the idea is simple, you need to figure out how to get to the point where you can "farm" adena (which is basically call it level 113+) . Conservatively the items you will need to start farming will cost you around 300 billion (that's on the cheap side, realistically figure 500) because try as you might, you can't "farm" with exalted gear. Because these are time limited zones, you need kill speed to make money. It's no use going to PI for example and taking an hour to kill 50 mobs, you still won't be making adena.

no there isn't

I should preface this by saying I do not play an Evisc main, my experience is solely from levelling dozens of them as mentees. So up to Beleth's. And I agree, the best setup for them is just right sidekick and focus on P.Attack Crit. That's afterall what makes them so cheap/efficient, they can skip the very expensive (cause of competition from Archers/Daggers) P. Skill build.

Considering I 've playing daggers since C3 ... I think it's easy to guess my favorite class is Othell (GH currently)
