Are you using a VPN? I have to verify each time if my VPN is on. If I disconnect the VPN, no problem.

I haven't tested it further, but it looks like dwarves are also being denied their permanent recipes. I made an item yesterday and the recipe disappeared from my recipe book. I'm going to have to start hoarding recipes. Aside from auto spoil and dubious extra pickup, dwarves now appear to be useless other than being a bit stronger and loveable.

I am finding the transformation process very confusing. The transformation screen is not very informative,, and the patch notes are too sketchy. and what has happened to the Help menu? I can't find it in game anymore except when an NPC brings up a screen. Specifically, I got my 10 transformation fragments and was finally able to get a standard/high grade spellbook, but I could not figure out how to secure the transformation I wanted which was a high-grade pirate with attack speed/casting speed stats. None of the buttons seemed to work. And when I did finally seem to imprint a transformation, the spellbook disappeared but nothing appeared in my transformation book slots. When I logged in today it appears that I was given a plushy cat transform [xp +5%] which is OK, but not what I wanted. And still nothing in my transformation book slots. It only appears under the standard tab full screen. I bought the 15 powders and used the transform in the field -- works OK. But I don't understand why it is not showing in the little boxes. I'd like to see/understand the step-by-step process before I get my next 10 fragments. Also how do I insert attachments? There doesn't seem to be an upload button from my pc. I wanted to include an image, but can't.

Don't tell me I don't know what I am talking about. I've been playing this game 13 years and gameplay has become more and more restrictive. Nevertheless, I was enjoying the new Classic up until this latest upgrade. Everything I loved about L2 is now gone. Some new features are appreciated, but every time I play, I am made aware of something I enjoyed that's changed and it breaks my heart. Yes, I can wear or use alternative armor or weapons, or save up to pay outrageous prices for runes or whatever, but skills have been more narrowly defined and don't always support alternatives. They may be trying to make each class more distinctive, less cross over, but ATM I feel straight-jacketed. I will probably stay on and get deeper into the game to see if I am missing some new ingredients that would change my mind, but I am really grieving the loss of starting village play and freedoms I used to enjoy.

Problem with Moon armor sets. We no longer have an option for choosing light armor over robes because they are tied to the class transition you plan to choose, although my elves have light armor mastery as well as robes. It says that the Moon set robes will increase casting speed, but the robes do not show that perk, and in fact the NG Devotion set gives my elves 60+ higher points for casting speed than the D Moon set. There also does not seem to be an option for a weapon with casting speed increase in the shops [if one wanted to use light armor] according to their descriptions. I have not yet seen a reward weapon, so don't know if they have casting speed. A potion is available in shops [thanks for the freebies given], but standard price is 2800 a pop. Not only are we being instantly kicked out of the starting villages and all their nice early quests, that Classic was allowing us to nostalgically enjoy, and that offered some flexibility in armor/weapon choices, but all our options are narrowing. I am feeling pushed, rushed and straight-jacketed into a linear game play. One of the joys of Lineage 2 was it's open-endedness. That now seems ended.

OMG! I just started a new character in classic [I have others pre-update] and in my opinion you've destroyed the purpose of having Classic in the first place. At least for me, classic meant getting back the starting villages I so missed and I was enjoying the early quests and the challenge of the graduation quests. I just went from 2-14 killing a few ketir outside the village! And yes, the quest ran a little short of 15, but 3 strokes in abandoned mine got me to 15. Then it was obvious the tarantula quest would take me right into D territory. What is this RUSH to get to the endgame! And why should everything be handed to us on a platter?! I'd much rather gain equipment from drops or the materials to make equipment [I wouldn't mind a reduction in cost in the process] than having all the fun removed by handouts. I am really disappointed at the direction the game is taking.

I like low pop; easier for mobs. But then I like solo. On the other hand, I wouldn't mind combining Gludio and Aden to bring my characters together. I started on a couple servers as created due to opening Classic rush.

Besides Leopold in Gludin, Sarin? merchant outside wasteland has a Monster Eye/basilik quest which also works in other areas with Eyes [Dion areas]. You can sometimes find others in your map screen under World info--Quests.

OK, Now that I am looking around more, I am finding some ordinary quests that even complement the fast track quest. e.g. Leopold's Housekeeping quest for Abandoned Camp in Gludin. Just to show I can give kudos--I do like the new transport system; it is cool. I have a balanced opinion about the auto-attack feature; if the field is crowded with other players, we tend to get in each other's way. But turned off I can select mobs away from others. It also doesn't work too well for spoilers since auto-pickup doesn't apply to spoil collection. But it's good to play manually now and then; the auto feature is good when I'm just grinding.

Thanks. There is a "Collector" outside the door that has talimans. But they are too pricey for me ATM--45k. Need to gather some moola. LOL. What's new?

Yes, I tried in Giran and paid but no delivery altho it said it was delivered. I suspect that I have to wait until lvl 40 when I get the skill mentioned. Thanks.

I know this isn't C1 but I was enjoying the "old" New game pre-update. The push to level has always annoyed me. I like doing various quests at each level.

OK, good to know it's coming. No need to be snide--since we were given the summoned animals, it was logical to think there should be some shot around. I'm not concerned about survival--doing OK, just wanted shot for my ponies to reduce hits and MP use.

Classic was supposed to be similar to the old game. If all we are given are quick grind quests to level up fast, what's the point? I want to play the old game not a lower level "live" game.

I understand there is a delay in allowing pets in the game, but summoners have beasts who can't do a whole lot without shot. I found a seller in Aden, but it said 75 adena for ONE shot not 100, just one. I paid for one just to see if that could be true and she took my money but did not deliver. That item apparently not available yet.
