This zone has always been very random with number of boxes for me, going anywhere between 50-90.
I am dragging 1 box with me for buffs, br, etc and to make sure i do not have spare time after hitting 100 cap because i always hit that solo.
As for rewards, i complained about it too since herald of light update but then in 1 day i got 1 insanity, 1 forgotten book and 1 artifact crystal so i guess just really random good/bad luck streaks. -

An overseas adjustment from the Dev team has been implemented for the Isle of Souls Stronghold 1 hunting zone.
- The Adena quantity dropped from monsters in Stronghold 1 has been reduced by half.
Understandable change, even if it sucks having the only positive thing taken away without getting anything back for it...
Are there any positive changes incoming like making the game playable for those with less gear, who used to be fine/ok before this last update? -

My feedback will be pretty much echoing the general tone of people here.
What the heck happened to content we actually used to do and enjoy?
Factions, monster collections, realistic content that any player can enjoy not just those who are at the very top with gear?
Content is ripped out of the game at a alarming rate to be replaced by cash shop only options, sure you need to run a company but don't do it on the back of customer / player enjoyment!
Sure for me the IOS change was not bad, i make double the adena which is great but that does not reflect the situation for many many players.
Besides of that this adena just causes an already out of control inflation to get even worse, sure it's great to earn 2 bil instead of 1 bil a day but what use is that when the item you want becomes 10 bil more expensive per day?
Dino island... what happened to the drops at all? i still clear a spot but from 8-16 scrolls before this update, initially it stayed the same while i had the compensation 200% drop rune... but now it ran out and i get 0 drops 2 days in a row?
Are we still playing a game here or what is this monstrosity you are attempting to create?
Is it so hard for the devs to actually reward us and make us feel enjoyment for effort we put in playing the game?
Monster collection should have been what collection is nowadays, unlock specific monsters with the # of kills = a small nice bonus like collections have now added permanently to our characters!
Something that is accessible by anyone over time and not just the 15 elite players on all the servers combined!
Factions that used to be great that you could do and vary on a day to day basis to keep the game interesting and not always the exact same grind with a chance to get decent and useful items on the long term.
Heck you even had clan goals to feed enough medals for the npc's to unlock benefits temporarily, which was a great system and makes no sense that this got canned.
The content if i can even call it that at this point is laughable and boring, raising difficulty of the exact same stuff people already were doing is not a update it's a downgrade.
Every update has less and less reward, ye neutral zone great adena but once again adena is NOT what we need because of this imploding economy of inflation madness that is getting really out of control!
We need actual items for our characters that need a sensible, reasonable and foremost affordable way to improve even if just to keep up with this difficulty increment the devs keep insisting on!-

We changed around the items in the backend, so this is not an issue and you just need to re-drag it back on the skillbar.
Thanks! Yeah, i figured it out myself that was the case and dragging back the skill indeed worked, i have edited the original post to add that to it

Looks like sayha's encouragement no longer works since the update, i still comply to the requirements of having a venir 12 equipped however i can't use the skill any longer.
Edit:
Turns out for some odd reason something about the skill was changed?
Dragged it in from my active skills and it now works >.< so for anyone else experiencing this issue you can fix it this way. -

Please contact our Customer Support so they can review your account.
I have reported these countless times, it's a hopeless situation because what is needed is backend filtering to stop them from creating a new bot every minute.
This is a problem that always keeps returning here to NCWest, always the same RMT crap, always the same issue, always the same spam and no way for us to STOP it forever!
The all block command is also completely useless because i will not be able to invite people or talk to people from friend list, we need a setting that only allow friends, clan, ally and party members to PM and none else! -

I said that cuz I know the clan and I know most of them are NOT idiots. Maybe all those toons that turned tyrr should of thought about this ahead of time! I really don't expect them to change the system seeing sooooo many already learned when and when not to use those skills. If the same person does it more then once, kick them, 20-30 times, I'd start pk'ing them too if I was you. Or you have an enemy in your clan doing it on purpose.
I don't pretend to know many of their clan members but i do know some of them, which were already tyrr/dread before red libra and they been that class for long time.
As for who is causing it, no idea they are not my clan so not much i can do about that other then a bit of feedback here. -

Tell your idiot clannies to learn how to set up their macros, we all have skills that can flag us afk, if you chooses to use them anyways, well, other people wanna have fun too, it's not all the systems fault!
This would have been a nice advice if you had not resolved to name calling.
I got told off for repeatedly PK'ing specific people from a enemy clan, when i was not allowed to do that i resorted to triggering wars with their clan and again got told off for doing that as well.
I do get that doing it for 20-30 times against the same clan or person is considered abusive at best harassment at worst but they just get back at them what they were doing to me in the first place!
@Hime @Juji @LIME Currently people are held to 2 standards, some can do this and some can't.
Why does a difference like this even exist?
Do you have any kind of input about this?
How are you going to streamline it so that we all get the same answer, regardless of clan or person asking.
As to the main topic for this and the root of the problem mostly.
Some classes sadly are more screwed then others, those being:
- Archer is the least screwed because their most powerful skills work with a target and are thus not at risk.
- Feoh can't use snares but their targeted aoe's are fine to use and are still relatively strong without loosing too much.
- Tyrr are just completely screwed if not on melee/one by one attacks because many of their aoe attacks are without target and therefor they lack the biggest contribution in damage from those.
Dreads from all Tyrr are probably worst off with this since they really lack damage when not doing aoe damage.
Few ideas to semi fix the issue without touching war system:
- A toggle so skills that do not require a target now will require it to cast.
- Let aoe skills honor your next target setting (hit only monsters if set on monster only).
The 2nd option would completely open up these players to PK without even doing any damage to the PK'er as a trade off.-

I agree with that it's not a healthy development at all that all big clans are starting to crumble down to 14 people clans just to avoid constant re-triggered war abuse.
The mechanic needs to be changed to prevent abuse, even a grace period will not help because the offender could just switch to another clan and repeat the process.
Sad to say but looks like this may become the next system that may get removed entirely just like Greedy Treasure Chests and countless other things solely because of all this abuse on these servers...-

It is a typo. The correct price is in game and there is no change to the price with the promotion starting tomorrow.
Thanks for correcting!
Been trying for several years to bring this to the attention unsuccessfully but it's good to see it finally is corrected now!
Could you also please add all the new talismans that have come out over time for completeness of all the stats provided?
Also some textual inaccuracies exist that would be great if they could be corrected namely:
To equip your Artifacts, you’ll need an Artifact Book, which is sold by Giran Luxury Shop NPC, Alexandria, in Giran during this promotion.
The book is always available, not just during the promotion
There are 3 levels to the Artifact Book and each level offers a number of slots to equip a Fighting Spirit Artifact, Protection Artifact, and Support Artifact based on its level. Equipping an Artifact in all the Book will unlock a set effect.
Forgot to mention the Balance Artifacts, also set effects are unlocked per set for the book according to each level, a level 3 book with just 1 of the 3 sets filled still gets the level 1 bonus but not the level 2 or 3.
Visit Alexandria in Giran to buy Artifact Books for Adena and Artifact Attributes.
Little correction here, its buy Artifact Books and Artifact Attributes for Adena.
Currently that sentence incorrectly suggests you need the Artifact Attributes for the books.
Thanks for correcting those small things! -
More people leaving this server then ever, some were keeping an eye on things to have a little hope for the AWS migration.
But after confirming the same problem is still there and new problems getting added on top like box opening delays and disconnects most of us have given up any hope.
Also the whole hour lag problems have resurfaced for 1-2 minutes on and past the whole hour:
- Inability to open AH
- Inability to open mail
- Inability to interact with NPC's
- Error / exception from clan reward taken and the clan reputation & other rewards are voided
- Drops & item pickups do not show up but seem to show up much later if at all
- If you ran out of shots and craft them during this time the shots go invisible and won't be used at all, no solution but to relog to actually have shots at this point
From my friend list since xp event started and a week prior to it 19 people have decided to abandon their character entirely and move over to Core instead.
These are people with 750 bil - 2 tril range characters so it's not just some low geared chars that were already struggling without the lag.
All of us are getting annoyed not being able to do the same things without lag screwing us over when without lag there are no issues whatsoever.
Besides of that Core is much cheaper and would take less then 10% of the money that was invested here to get quite a lot more gear.-

Has anybody experienced this happening in any other hunting zone? Thanks!
No, this behavior is exclusive to Field of Crisis due to the location overlapping with actual hunting grounds.
When you go to Fields of Whispers to the exact same location you will see that actual player standing there.
When you are inside Field of Crisis you also can't attack the person.
Also Greedy Treasure Chests are visible as well but when you are in Field of Crisis you also can't attack those.
It is slightly confusing but kinda funny type of bug, one of the few which hasn't bothered me once i realized what it was that i was seeing

Normal atlas earring can be augmented and works with augments, however when you upgrade it to blessed you can no longer augment it.

Had a mix of disconnect problems here, one time right during the logging in process i got disconnected and one time after 30 seconds.
For the rest i have constant disconnects with just 1 character a time usually, this character starts to lag terribly and either catches up and kills many mobs super fast or just plain disconnects.
I can observe my character that is lagging from the other character and it looks "fine", it runs the macro, kills mobs, uses skills everything and then after a while it just gets kicked from the game with a disconnect or catches up on the "missed time". -
This system needs a serious rework because of the following problems:
- Maybe 100's or more camera toons clogging up the server causing queue on top as well.
These toons in turn keep every single area constantly loaded up causing more load on the server.
- There are automated programs relogging toons every 2-3 minutes to perform a scan of every single level 120 greedy chest area.
- There are automated programs which run the same pre-recorded path 24x7 to find chests.
Before the botting for it got really out of control it was still possible to catch 1 or 2 chests every few days with a bit of luck.
Now it has been nothing for weeks because of the usual problem with the NCWest server and the out of control botting. -
Don't need +20 Focus, even +12 works fine.
Already posted my lower budget archer setup on another post here.
Seems to work fine, granted i do mix it with a ISS for level 5 buffs, level 2 harmony and POM but that makes sense to me really since you will want the most out of it.
This is not a 100's of billions invest, most gear made when prices are low for specific items mixed with a little bit of luck to not fail too often.
As a level 107 Ghost Sentinel keeps level 107 mob group cleared, granted it may fall behind occasionally if they spawn at bad spots opposite of where the aoe's are going but overall the char performs pretty good.
Also you shouldn't need handouts of masteries, they are really easy to farm but ill let you do some research yourself as i am not going to chew everything for you. -
Sorry to say but if you have trouble with cleaning a spot on even more basic geared archer you may have something important you missed!
Below ill post a lower budget level 107 (Dual 107 too) Ghost Sentinel setup i use which works pretty good:
- +12 bloody R99 bow with stage 7 SA's (No 3rd SA).
- Paulina ring.
- Oly ring.
- +12 Atlas.
- Level 2 artifact book with skill crit dmg artifact +5 and skill crit rate +5 (rest filled with generally +4 and +5 artifacts).
- +12 focus on the 2 most important skills (Multiple arrow and Heavy arrow rain).
- Dex + Cha dyes (+4 Dex, +3 Cha, crafted with my Seer long ago to cut down cost a little).
- +2 Radiant circlet.
- +5 Veteran mask.
- +8 R99 Light armor set.
- Lidia belt.
- +7 non legendary cloak.
- +5 1st stage dragon shirt.
- Ruby/Opal/Emerald/Diamond/Red cat eye lvl 4 (diamond and emerald are swapped depending on need since brooch is lvl 1).
- +2 Greater kaliel bracelet.
- Seed bracelet lvl 1 with +7 Cancer and Aries.
Not using rose, dragon pot or any other consumables/runes.
Keeps level 107 mob spot cleared out, has a buffer with it for Level 5 buffs, Level 2 harmony and POM.-

The nerf was actually not that bad as long you have a certain amount / certain types of gear.
You also need to adjust your skill enchant route to cover for a bit.
This "nerf" was not nearly as bad as the amputation the summoners received back in the days where the once top class was made the absolute bottom class so be happy they didn't do their worst on this one.
My archer i play is still pretty damn good overall, still much more effective then my melee and nuker so i still enjoy mine.
TLDR: make a few adjustments and you only loose a little bit of power, nothing extreme. -
For me atm no issues with logging in since maintenance.
Had one time a problem with all characters disconnecting but at that point they also were showing a 1-2 second next target delay.
After relogging the toons were fine and had no more delay since.
Besides that and after the emergency maintenance i have not experienced much lag at all.
