Yeah, the problem with Discord is that it's just one long, vomitous stream of conscious/comments. Hard to follow and get to quick answers, if a section hasn't already been established.
I don't understand why they don't post the code here. Or better still, just leave the gifts with the Dimensional merchant on a timer. Anything not claimed goes bye bye at the end of the month.

Seeing your name makes me want to go back and read Raymond Feist's Riftwar series again. At least I can still afford to do that. Einhasad store? Maybe not so much.
I don't see anything in the shop that I want/need. (Plus, the prices are ridiculous.) Is that the intended design of the shop? Are there further changes to the game in the pipeline that will require players to go to the shop for essential gameplay functionality? Seriously, what's the friggin' point, if you're not going to put something worth buying in the shop?
On 10/6/2020 at 4:11 PM, OldKingCold said:Einhasad Golden Coins (EGC) Shop -- This is something they should have given us a long time ago. But NCSoft wants people to buy ncoins for event items to then convert into adena so that they can buy many of the same items that you can buy more directly with Einhasad coins. NCSoft won't ever sell adena, but the Einhasad coins are the next best thing. For ~$34 USD you get 400 EGC. I don't know what the current NCoin to Adena conversion rate is, but I'm willing to bet my first born kid that it's way cheaper to buy a Red Cat 5 using Einhasad coins than it is to buy Ncoins and convert them into adena to buy a Red Cat at high market prices set by players.

Looks familiar.
Is the final message, "Better sell those +30 weapons while you can?"
Anyone know if DW Stage 1 will finally get boosted in the next update?
I think Feoh should caution themselves and go into this with low expectations. No one wants "rebalancing" where mages are as dominant and relatively OP as they were in the early years of the game. Naturally, expect to gain something by losing something else. And as with archers, feoh will probably need to reach for their wallets and properly build their characters in order to get the utmost out of them.
I hope I'm wrong about this, but I have a feeling we're all going to be a little let down with the class and reroll to whatever new race they create when the time comes.
I thought we were already doing a Shining Gran Kain thing?
21 hours ago, Connex said:a +12 R110 bloody is still better than +20 blessed exalted
Oh, I agree, but I suspect that it would be far cheaper to make a +20 Blessed Exalted weapon, if the weapon scrolls were sold in store at a reasonable price. You would see bot trains everywhere with +20 Bless Exalted weapons.
11 hours ago, Connex said:+0 to +12 yes there is some damage increase but having a bloody +12 R110 has more damage, the adena for each scroll is a couple of bil so 24b for a +12 blessed exalted weapon but the stats on the weapon are fixed and Damage Dealer do not benefit from blessed exalted weapon due to the nature of the stats
if I remember correctly,
+0 Blessed Exalted weapon = the same Patk of a R99 weapon
you get an augument that has 10% pdef/mdef/Matk/Patk and 5% p atk/p skill/m smill crit dmg,
an exalted soul crystal which is the equivalent of a shilen 5 ( if I remember correctly),
but not augument
a +12 Bloody R110 weapon has
5% pve dmg more than the exalted
soulshot damage 8.4% ( not sure if an enchanted weapon gets that)
you can add 2 soul crystals for p skill crit rate/p skill crit dmg 10% for fairly cheap ( p/m crit dmg, or p/m atk)
and on top of that, up to 20% p/m crit dmg or p/m skill power 15%
in conclusion with 24bil, ( i.e) getting +12 exalted weapon you can get 3-5% more damage? or something like that?
with 75 bil you get roughly 13% more dmg, plus all the skill related soul crystals, plus the augument.
The increase in damage is way more if you take into consideration everything.
so the money (20+bil) you throw on the exalted weapon is something you can never get back.
Maybe I missed something, but I thought Bless Exalted Weapons can now be enchanted up to +20 or something like that using the Bless Exalted Weapon Enchant Scrolls. (Unlike R110, which most people use Gold save and/or expensive Shining Gran Kain Weapon scrolls to get that high of enchant.) Is that not the case?
If so, that probably explains why they won't sell them in the store 24/7. With just your wallet and a few clicks, players could easily equip a bunch of alts with +20 Blessed Exalted weapons for XPing and farming. Even with only 300 attribute, you can kill a bunch of mobs pretty quickly ... and cheaply, if they don't charge a ridiculous price for the scrolls.
1. They should stop giving buff pots for all of these paid promotions. Not one should have them. That alone stops me from participating in these "events."
2. Remove support and craft items from boxes, but make them all available through normal hunting at a good rate. That includes dyes, star signs, artifact crytals, etc., etc. Stop making people pay for crap that should be available through routine XPing, you greedy bastards!
3. Increase the odds of winning the top awards by 1000% AND increase the number and variety of top rewards. This game has been around for 20 years and there are still people who don't have even +10 cloaks, boss jewels, or dragon weapons. Flood the market with them so that people can purchase at reasonable prices, play and compete. (Those items alone won't make anyone elite, but they are a step in the right direction.)
Every old player that I know who wanted to return sees the cost of what it takes to get up to par with everyone -- not elite, just on same level to compete and level -- and they change their mind. It should not cost you $100K/yr to play this game. But with everything being impossible to get and only having a 0.00000000000001% chance of getting through an overpriced promotion, the writing is on the wall.
I'm a returning player and I'll stick around for a little bit this summer, but odds are high that I will quit again. Shit is just too damn expensive with few in-game obtainable rewards and even less fun.
We get Rune Stones as we progress. We should also get Greater Rune Stones the same exact way. At least one every level from 110 onward. Untradeable, but fully restorable with Red Libra.
Or maybe create a really cool quest to get them solo. Bring back good content and great rewards.

The following changes will be made to the game during this maintenance:
- The 19th Anniversary Paradise Festival events will continue!
- Check the event article to get all information regarding the 19th Anniversary events.
- The 19th Anniversary promotions will continue!
- Check the promotion article to get all information regarding the 19th Anniversary promotions.
- Fixed an issue that allowed multiple Kain Van Halter to spawn during the Path of Fate: Overcome quest.
- Fixed an issue preventing the character’s abilities to be reset after completing a character server transfer.
- Further restoration of Dethrone Fire skills will be carried out to affected character who did not have their skills restored.
Two words: Black Coupons!
After hearing that other places got Black Coupons along with the anniversary event, I'm a bit miffed. Please give out Black Coupons this month. You can keep the Angel accessories that fail more than they succeed, even with 40% - 50% odds of success per enchant.
16 hours ago, Ekaterina_Valina said:So the merchant can change R99 eternal sets, but what if the R99 eternal sets are the bloody sets? Can those be changed too?
If memory serves, yes.
Did anyone actually get a GRS from this event? I only tried on 3 of my characters every day, so I figured it would be impossible for me. But maybe someone, somewhere, somehow got really, really, really lucky????
This list reminds me of the days when I used to spend tons of USD$$$ on this game. I don't miss it.
Happy Anniversary, everyone!
4 hours ago, Orochu said:@Wissp any info if we'll have the black coupon this year?
I second that. I guess we'll get more Angel jewels and pots instead but need more than that now.
6 hours ago, Nawdur said:just wait those event where they gift 1 by event craft, or those event where they gift to new toon (wellcome gift), and create new toon in account and share the box between chars with dimensional merchant.
When it comes to NCSoft, there is never a guaranty that we will get those offerings again. If so, it will probably be around the anniversary. But don't hold your breath.

I have read the comments on previous updates and each update I have seen that the gap between rich and well equipped players is getting bigger and bigger.
We are at planet vs. pebble proportions now. My friends are quitting left and right because they can't afford to keep pace.
2 hours ago, Kosmetas said:In other words what they mean to say is
"WHERE IS ARE FREE STUFF!!"
They're probably waiting until next week's update for the March freebies.
Since this used to be a PVP game and the update is called Assassin, they should hand out a single-use Chrono Weapon with a unique mortal death skill that lets you kill anyone, anywhere.
The game has been around long enough and improvements were made to skill animations for the various races some time ago. Can we finally do away with the inability to change to Kamael, Ertheia, etc., races?
Shine Maker Build, Equipment and Launch Questions
in General Live Discussion
Posted
Everyone probably has same questions and few answers, but will ask anyway:
1. Are Shinemakers basically mages that use the exact same gear as Feoh? Or are they equipped like the old Summoners of the past that could use Leather armor and fighter weapons before they were forced to conform to the magic user model?
2. Can we subclass Shinemaker?
3. Will we be able to change existing main to Shinemaker during Red Libra?
4. Will we get Red Libra in November same day as Shinemaker update launch?
5. Patch Notes????
