Oo lets count this
to make similar gear that you get by free i will type for you for how much adena you need to get it
lv3 ruby, to make you need like 3b opal to, diamond 2b emerald 2b pearl 2b, weapon its like a shadow weapon, so around 4b, and the armor if i count only the attribute its like 2b and the stat on that armor its damage side, its better then a eternal set. so lets say 3b minimum, and you crying for a buff that cost you 30m? after ypi get free 16b worth gear? and we wasnt talk the dragon shirt, that better then my +7 shiny shirt, that shirt for me was like 4b. so basicly you get 20b for free.
1 more thing, after you gradutating in 105, you get a free altar earring, i can say, almost the best earring that you can get, even lind not so good like this 1, after +12.
