5 ISS types - short summary
Both of these 2 are my favorites, +15% p.atk, +15% matk., +15% pdef, +15% mdef, balance and great for mages.
1. Spectral Dancer - specialize in MDEF
2. Sword Muse - specialize in defense against Archer and Daggers3. Dominator - the only ISS that is PvP specific and for clans. +15% skill power p.atk and m.atk but expense to use 100 spirit ore vs. 20 spirit ores of Doomcryer
4. Doomcryer - 15% skill power for both p.atk and m.atk for only 20 spirit ores, superior party buffer. can stack with Sword Muse and Spectral Dancer.
5. Hierophant - not good for large 7 man party but great for small 3 person party because Prophesy of Might buff is limited to 2 with staggered timing of 150-157 seconds depending on your "reuse" stacked bonus, or if you are wearing a robe or light or heavy. This is a must have if you own an archer in a 2 to 3 person party.
I own all 5 types so I know them all.
check out this for researching a new build for a new class
https://l2wiki.com/Main_Page
Once you drill own into the class you like to investigate, click on 101 level link and look for "Level 1" skill, that's usually the final unique skill. Lv.110 skill is too common and doesn't count. -
my connection has been 100% stable past 7 days, all 18 of them. the problem with identifying server to be the source of DC is we do not know the algorithm in which NC prioritize region of the world such as US over outside the US, and/or other variable factors. There are just too many unknowns, including regional and continental ISP routing hops along the way to Austin, TX NCsoft server farm. I apologize if the server is not in Austin but I know for sure NC West is hosted in the State of Texas. I am in Houston on vacation (stay at home order), last I checked the ping is 6ms, which is insanely fast. My permanent resident is in CA where the ping is around 20-40ms.

Remove the pk drop was Ncsoft response to the "pk scam", and tbh I don't hate it, could they done it better? yes, but this system have a few good things.
- I feel that pvp has increased, anyone can pk you over a spot and you must fight back if you want to keep it, and if you are lvling on the same area probably you don't have a hugh equipment gap. Ofc there are some ppl that kill for fun or just because they can, but those ppl has always been there, they seem to be the same and behave as always.
- You cant loose all your gear in 10 minutes, and noone can get rich just by killing you while you are afk. That would be cathastrophic since nowadays the afk hunting is a must if you want to progress in the game.
- I've never heard about anyone quitting the game just because someone pk them, but back in the days before the pk penalty removal you could read almost everyday ppl leaving the game because they lost years of time and money investment in just a few minutes.
And if you are not able to kill dragons it's not because of the pk system, it's because you need to invest more time and/or money to be even with the big whales.
one million amen.

daily reset time is roughly 4 hours before the server reset period. it's been like that year for over 10 years.

also, its $5 per character and not giftable....nice 16th anniversary scam.
most companies would be happy if ppl put up with their crap for more than a year, but no you want to charge ppl even when you cant fix the server or implement a simple update
how is it a scam when you're getting something for something? i think it's a scam when you pay and get nothing.

I personally think that the devs are trying to kill game so they can move on. Between horrible customer service to way way overpriced items... to events that are "Free" giving jack S**t for decent items. Or lame picture events that give +16 weapon with no add ons which wont do a damn thing against current weapon line ups +21/ dragon weps XD. The business moves Ncsoft is making for Lineage 2 is one of 2 things. Either the people running the show are incompetent or they're trying to cash out until major base of remaining players quit. I understand this game is pay to win, I have no problem spending money but when I'm having to drop more money in current game then over a year ago thats an issue. I just don't like spending my money and be getting very very little return back.
So what are your guys thoughts? Do you Think they're just trying to cash out? Do you like their current business model? Or do you guys think they just dont know economics? Please share you're thoughts.
I disagree with you.
NC is investing in Unreal Engine 4.0 UI facelift, if that happens, this game will take advantage of multi-core processing and GPU.
Also it's same old people without money blaming all their troubles on the rich, as in real life, as in this game. But I do agree NC customer service is horrible due to the agents hired never played the game or using just cookie cutter questions and answers. -
Anyone have updated table in English of the cost of the progression of weapon upgrade from R to R95 to R99 to R110 for all enchant level to +30?

Hello, i recently returned to game. I used to play in Lionna and the Bartz until Kamael so i have lost my touch with L2. I made a Yul Saggitarius and i would like to suggest me the best dual class for pvp. As i understand dual class affects main class with some passive skills, so its does not work like subclass. I would like to go for a healer but i think this is not best choice, so i looking forward for your suggestions. I have another quest, subclass still exists as i saw but should i level a subclass or there is no point to do this.
I think I can help.
If your goal is to diversify experiences across different classes, create a new toon so you can experience them same time. For dualclass, just grab a class using your same gear - in this case, do archer/archer so you can quickly get to 105 to max obtain dualclass skill.If you really don't want to spend money on another set of armor, a light armor of your archer, you can pair it with Wynn dualclass for diversified fun. Instead of bow, you just need a 2h magic staff (preferably highly enchant as possible) as Wynn summoner strictly uses that weapon and for transfering p.atk to the summons. For light armor sets, othell or any type of tyrr can also be an option. Tyrr with the latest update as of 04/28/20 recently got one of the biggest BOOST we've seen any class get in ages.
Wynn summoner also can cast magic debuff and marks, so if you really love spamming marks on people's foreheads, get a robe; and with a robe, your double AOE magic debuff and attacks can be useful for crowd control too. If you're going to spend money on a separate robe and staff, might as well create a new character, nowadays you can go 1-85 in 15mins, 85-95 in 2 hours. 95-99 in few more hours and if you're undergeared maybe a whole day. But the point is, by the time you reach lv.101 which you get all the latest skills until level 110, you pretty much have a second character. I suggest you build a 2nd character a buffer ISS at a minimum.
Remember to do Coal Mine (daily 60min instance from the UI interface to the right) everyday until you are Lv.106. It's a gift NC implemented otherwise, new players will take forever to get to lv.106. So through level 105, you can use CM still to boost it until Lv.106. Many quit after Lv.106 because they just can't handle the independent no handicap XP desert where they must party up or build a team to grind upward, 2.5X exponentially XP requirement every level to 110.So in summary, dualclass generally is for dual class skills so pick whatever that can level the fastest and be done with it so you can focus on your main. If you want diversity of experiences through different play style, NC has made creation of a new char and powerleveling fast very very easy nowadays - so it's worth a shot to look into that route.
Welcome back!

I hear many people and producers of the game, saying that the disconnects are usually the fault of our ISPs.
In a 450-500 queue, in order to login to the game (3 chars), i have to wait between 90-120 minutes.
During that time I have NEVER been disconnected. NOT once!
After loging my chars and start playing, during that same period of time (90-120 mins), it is almost certain that i will get disconnected.
It has happened too many times. It is not a coincidence!
So, I started login 2 char in one PC and 1 char in another (a laptop) and guess what...
NOT all 3 chat get disconnected. Either the PC or the laptop stays CONNECTED!

- Butter me up and call me a biscuit!
lineage 2 clients has a way to leak memory over time, how much is that first PC's RAM that you have a hard time connecting 3 clients?
Also you're exaggerating on the queue, take a picture of 450-500 in queue because I would love to see that.
Second, take a picture with a watch and really show me you waited 90mins.
I will tell you i have waited on 215 in queue and I waitied for maximum of about 10-12 minutes, every few seconds drop by 2-4 positions. -
If you use debit card (cash), you have to pay $0.41 tax on top of $5.00. I bet you didn't know that. With credit cards, you don't have to pay the $0.41 cents. I thought with debit cards usually you get BENEFITS not penalty!

Most people just don't understand how major of a boost is there base xp increase. And sadly they will never learn a thing.
oh God Mixa, you are so dead right about THAT! Bunch of noobs coming into this server, have NO IDEA how easy they had it. You're not suppose to be seeing billions and billions of XP per mob, that just isn't L2. They don't know what REAL grind is. I mean, they're complaining now with Macros... how about 100 times less XP without Macros or PK Scam? lol.

I don't even want to log in with these xp numbers.. And i refuse to spend money just because NC made it this way. Hmm.. Run the PC all day and night Macroing as i watch a movie or do nothing? OR... Play another game, And not make 0.002% in L2 and have a GREAT time... Hmmmm....
Gosh, you are so unworthy lol

@Juji Please remove the 95 inventory restriction (main - dual - switch), make it 125 or higher so it'll never be an issue. This is very SERIOUS issue everyone in the community is complaining about. Thank you!

if you connect more pc or laptop in same router still only 3 account will be active.because all share 1 ip address.
Where is your proof of this? I have 99 kids in the family and each owns a Alienware Gaming Behemoth with RTX2080, I should be able to run 297 clients behind 1 IP. So start showing some proof with the 1 IP bull crap. Better yet, show me on a technical level (you're talking to a CCIE Voice engineer here) how you would go about blocking 4th client on a single iP? What if that IP is spooked, proxied and/or masked? If you don't even know what I am asking, then the Answer is Your A Fake News.

welcome to max populated servers with only 20 real human players, the other thousands of toons are boxed alts and bots....have fun paying real $ to kill updated monsters in a 16yr old game....
I'm so awe stricken with such profound science in which you go about quantifying such precise numbers, I am so unworthy in your presence - O your imminence.

Oh really?
The maximum number capacity players, of course, but when and why this number was adjusted? or 3 clients limit per PC?
still 3 clients per PC... if they increase it, let me know.

this queue is just a show. i dont believe someone's logging out every few secs
sometimes i wonder about that too...
it's like a test of will to see if you'll be 1.) noob enough to click the cancel button because the words on the screen tells you so 2.) people don't want to wait quits queuing...

Make Party Cake UNABLE to summon once summoned like the auto pots consumables. Due to server lag, some people don't see the cake and click again and got 2 cakes, what a waste. This should have been part of the programming to prevent such thing from happening.
Please escalate this @Juji to the developers, thank you.

I like the idea of server overload - which means, server might actually split for once in 10 years (which has been in consolidation mode and going back to its haydays of prior popularity)

doesn't hurt to send in a ticket, maybe they'll do something for you - i don't know. but high probability, nothing will be done. looking at the whole perspective of things, it's a small drop in a large ocean - none factor in terms of your overall livlihood for the health of your journey for years to come - if you make it past your first year.
