Manner is a tricky subject especially for melees. I still use it but it can be very frustrating. The automation the game provides isnt very smart and you will go ahead and hit the mob even though someones ahead of you, with full knowledge that your about to pay your dmg and SS costs to his mob , after which you will stop and move on, so you just wasted SS helping them kill their mob due to your manners. It can get quite crazy when you come back from afk and find your char inside a pack of 5+ others all moving from the same mob to the same next mob, each time one guy hits first and the other 5 hit it a split second later donating their SS to help him get the kill credit and adena. Then all rush to the exaact next one and repeat. There should perhaps be a built in pause after you break off from a manner hit, to prevent you immediately rushing the next mob in the same way, just a second or 2 would be enough maybe to find a different target than the train your stuck in. I've purposely set chars to walk mode, or windwalk off just to try and avoid getting stuck in those manner trains. I suspect ppl put manner off for similar reasons.

I dont think its really in their control, this game version has been like this for years I think it must be intended feature Maybe I'm better asking if players know of any workaround to filter specific tabs.

The rooms let you keep melee chars (or a party) together without wandering all over.

It wont let you claim stuff out from mails unless your in a safe town, is very annoying.

At lvl 46 you start getting 5 free sayhas (<75 version) per lvl from growth missions. So you really just need to leapfrog 40-46, which can happen with 1-2 decent magic lamp hits during the first lvl 40 transcendant. Especially if you go in with a gust activated before your sayha burns out, and the free 100% lamp flame from the lvl 40 quest. I've run multiple alts to lvl 40 to lvl up personal clan 5k fame, and always just jump right into transcendant after hitting 40. Some of them only get out at 43-45 , but others come out at lvl 49+ if you get lucky on the first lamps and get to 46 in time to reapply the free sayhas early in the dungon run. Worst cases, can just get to 40, pop the 100% flame and run the dungon with at least a gust, then log out the alt till tomorrow, log back in with 40+ mins left on the 100% flame. Have received the free daily sayha top up and use it to reapply a new gust and do the 2nd run. You will almost certainly finish the 2nd days run over 51 with some extra free (<75)sayha banked. (Log out and wait for a 3rd/4th day if you really want to get the most value from that 100% flame buff) Can also do this with multiple chars on same acct and have them acct share gusts to the main char on that acct if required.

As a free item Aden seems to be intended to allow F2P some competitivity, I assume thats why we cant use nccoin

Dagger is just ultra gimped in essence, according to this class rankings from the eu version https://eu.4gameforum.com/threads/673382/ Though they say its possible to ultra whale a dagger close to the top. ### I'd advise just to switch to less competitive mode on the dagger until the adjustments come , unless you really want to keep throwing money just to stay in the rankings. A 79 dagger is still a good achivement as is. Maybe instead throw a little at creating some longer term support structures for your dagger (from an easymode farm class alt or second acct healbot to follow you around while you hunt, theres maybe ways you can make things more comfortable for your dagger without having to pay).

I look at the 300k as buying 30 Sayha cookies, nominally sayhas are @50k per, so its 1.5m adena worth of sayhas for 300k if my maths correct.

I joined for first time the other day, you just "request match" and its automatic you get in a waiting arena with 6 ppl, 3 red and 3 blue team, you can talk to middle npc to get a buff boost. When it starts its just all 3 vs 3 at same time, and is over fairly fast, either last one standing, or which side had more still standing when time is out. Think its about 60 sec per match. If the team wins it counts as a win for your score/record/mission.

thats a shame you rushed in and died while I was typing up some guidance which we posted above at the exact same time almost... I did say to read up on it beforehand. You can reenter it for free same way after you die, but you need to talk to npc again to re activate your special aoe nukes to work...and the 10 mins will be counting down Not to worry you can run it again after reset today., meanwhile read about it and be prepared. ..also dont be afraid to ask for advice within game, use the & for general chat and say eg "how do i do this trans dungon?" , there are helpful ppl who may respond.

In the bottom right screen button opens general menu, in the middle of that is "Special hunting zone" transendent dungon 40-49, costs 100g. But you need to know the basics before u try it. at least that you will need to spam your main nuke/skill that you got at lvl 20/40 using auto hunt with auto pickup off . Going in at lvl 41 will be difficult if your not prepared. Be buffed up with the atk scrolls, have potions setup to auto use, and manual potions rdy on your bar to click. Click on your auto hunt immediately after you talk to npc to begin, before the mobs charge you. And have only your transendent skill auto casting so you dont delay your dps. After you talk to the npc inside, that skill becomes an transendent version with aoe. Your char basically spam this while you watch and override to use potions or cast heals. ### The sayhas grace/gusts system allows you to earn up to 500% exra xp, which is a huge deal in there. https://dev.l2central.info/essence/articles/179.html

No theres a fast easy trick to get to about lvl 50. Use the transendent dungon after lvl 40 (once daily) to get from 40-45, once your 45, get the quest from aden priest to do a transendent dungon... then use the free dungon reset from the lvl 45 newbie kit reward, and do it again. Turn in to priest after, should get you to lvl 50 ish. (if you cant do it again , you can just wait till reset and do it the 2nd time) You should also have the magic flame (from giran quest priest) for 60 mins 100% magic lamp boost, make sure to use that and sayhas grace potions + sayhas gusts xp before you run the dungon. ### also check /read up on how to do the transendent dungon before you try it, its a 10 minute limited time so you dont want to screw it up and waste it.

I know this is not ideal, but you can at least log into elcaida server now before the maint, get a new char there if you dont have already, and idle for 30 mins then claim the final attendence on it. I am doing it on mine right now. Thought might wanna wait till the last 60 min before maint just in case a last minute reprieve delay is announced. (Maybe later customer support later might help you xfer the doll , or the servers get merged and it becomes trabeable in the acct to xfer it.)

The full contents of the premium kit ,each stage box 60-65-70-75 used to be listed with the launch delux pack contents, but thats been removed from the website, so not sure if theres any official link anymore. however: Its overall about 90 sayhas storms, 90 attack/defense scolls, 30 magic lamps , 100+? ss tickets , and at lvl 75 you also get 2 talismans of power and 20 scrolls to blow them up with. (Maybe was some other bits am not fully sure.) Value is similar to the same priced Sayhas starter kit which has 200 storms/ 200 exp boost scrolls, but only 20 magic lamp boosts.

Did you go thru the tower-like building structures to enter

You will have gotten 34 days out of a 35 day event, I think you must have missed one day ? Where is the extra week though? Maybe its already there and the maint patch notes on 15th will say "Attendance event extended by 1 week" guess will find out.

@SunshineHi Sunshine, are you sure you actually extended it? I recall we got a extra aweek to buy the delux pack, but the attendance event was scheduled for 5 weeks from aug11-sep15th , as per launch notes and pre launch website. If we are getting a extra week, then it should run until sep22nd? I think you might have announced a extra week without actually adding it or have I missed some math ? https://forums.lineage2.com/topic/22270-aden-server-launch-wednesday-august-11-2021/ With this maintenance: The Aden server will officially launch at 9:00 AM PDT on 8/11! The Raid Master event will start for three weeks! Why Burn rankings event will start for three weeks! Attendance checklist event will start for five weeks!

Where was the actual extension given? the server launched on Aug 11th, with a 5 weeks attendance event. 5 weeks from aug 11th - Sep 15th, I dont see any actual extension of the attendance unless my maths wrong. (I know every weekly maintenance the patch notes did have mentions of "attendance extended until xx, but it was always only till sep 15th) Heres the launch maint notes where it says the attendence will run for 5 weeks. " Aug 11th With this maintenance: The Aden server will officially launch at 9:00 AM PDT on 8/11! The Raid Master event will start for three weeks! Why Burn rankings event will start for three weeks!

Does it actually tell ppl that you personally blocked them , so you can make yourself a target for grief when your just trying to unclutter your logs? Its just very frustrating cos I like seeing the heroes talk in my general chat window where I have world chat and so on... But I need the other window for just whisper and clan/important system announcements etc, I use it as a memo-notes window during long play sessions.

Is there any option to filter hero chat , I couldnt find it in the chat system menus ? Seems really rather extreme to have to resort to blocking a char just cos you dont want hero spam in your whisper-only chat log window etc. EG: I have one chat window that I only have whisper and clan chat, and cna have a full day of logged chat there , now its full of hero spam unless I block every hero ? (Also why are we required to report a char as either an "adenaseller" or "rude" when we simply want to apply a basic block function?)

I doubt it will happen, but sure would be nice cos I forgot a few times and 2 of my chars will miss the antharas doll by that 30 mins. (btw I guess you could make a char on elcaida, or if you already have one ..and at least claim your final attendence there before maint if you are not gonna be able to take it on Blackbird, so it isnt wasted.)

The 2 servers are competing against each other for a single hero slot per class, (according to what I've read of the oly info on the essence site https://dev.l2central.info/essence/articles/518.html), so you cannot have a different schedule time for either server, it has to be a compromise time between both..... .....otherwise both sides will complain that they are not able to queue against the others at all and lost their hero slot to some guy who had his friends feed him wins while they were unable to contest the matches to disrupt his feeding. ### Once you get over the mental hurdle of the existence of a compromise time, it gets easier to think about what compromise time slot is fairest.

Wolf for nostalgia reasons ( I remembering getting the lvl 15 wolf in bartz , think I saw lots of ppl have them die or starve and if you couldnt res in 30 mins they were lost )

That might indicate that it is actually a good compromise between both server timezones.

Usually Im thankful for the sps cast speed increase when my character stops hitting the mobs to rebuff every single buff in the middle of a fight. Same thing when you just teleport somewhere and start running to your spot, and your character is all "hold on while I cast every single thing right here right now, even though your clicking madly to move" But you can just toggle off the sps to save costs most of the time.
