    why dont you try L2 Aden for a change. On live servers the ONLY think you will get to do is insatnces that you will get 1shot, will only complete if you have a good group, ( 105 dailies require you to be 110 with at least 1500$ worth of gear), there is no way in hell you can kill any sort of raibosses and you are never gonna pvp at all. you will hit the paywall the moment you step out of hellbound, cuz trust me, that is where you will be xping until you hit 110, after that at any location, reality will hit you as well as the insane dmg that mobs do. I did try to go to Aligator Island at 110, boy i got 3 shot by mobs and trust me I had gear.

    I am not gonna lie, Essence (l2 Aden) is not that hard, you can still catch up within a month or so, if you know what you are doing. Real numbers, with $300 right now on Aden, you can do a lot, with $300 on Live servers, you cant buy anything at all or whatever you buy, its not gonna be enough.

    I came back on february, spent a good $2000, I was lucky enough to get a ruby 5 for free and a Blessed valakas from an Event and once the last update hit, when they increased the difficulty in mobs , i had to throw anothe $1000 to buy gear to be able to earn 320m/day in the IoS instance.

    The money you need to spend is unreal, if aden was not out, I would for sure be close to 4.5-5k already and like I said, no pvp, no action, nothing, just watch your toon hit mobs and babysit it, when you need to go from one location to another. 

    Sure I am missing endgame content, but to get there, I need like a good $2k more, you can join a ToI party at 113 in some cases or 114. If you really like L2 and want to enjoy it, then I would suggest you try Aden (you still need money) and have fun. 

    Yea, that's why I plan to not start buying boosts like prestige even if it's cheap. Also I tried essence in the past and it's a very weird game to me, doesn't feel like L2. But then again, I think none of the version today fit the good old L2 at least from official servers. NCSoft just decided to throw the game in the trashcan and not bother about their product. I'm just gonna play a little bit and find another game or fresh upcoming priv server.

    In this game, you need the following "subscriptions":

    Prestige = $15 / month

    Destiny pack = 2k ncoin / month (~$25 to $28)

    Planning an extra $50 a month would go a long way if spent smartly.

     

    Your current gear, paired with the blessed exalted set  and making it +10 purchase from store, and with 2 iss (pom and swm) you can do quite a bit. You miss agathions / artifacts / la vies / cloak / and multiple other things.  Try to do the starter quest in gludio on your toon. See if you can for the la vies and quests.

     

    To farm adena, you go to primevil isle, isle of souls, tower of insolence. These are listed in order of difficulty.

     

    The game isn't as bad as some claim, but it's not viable as a free to play person. What fun you can get is truly up to what u want. The game is meant to be played afk 24/7 until you decide to do dailies or pvp. There's fun to be had for the right people, and how much u need to spend to have fun is totally up to u to decide. 

    I dont see prestige in shop, also, when you buy Blessed exalted heavy armor bundle from shop it comes +10?

    Evisc and dagger use p atk crit dmg which is cheaper to obtain.

    As others have said, if you don't plan to spend any RL cash, there is no real future in this game. But maybe that isn't so for you. 

     

    Single target can work to clear a single spot of mobs.  Yes AoE is typically better. 

     

     

    What exactly are you wanting to do in this game? Fun? Farm? Solo? Party? Compete? Pvp? 

    Well there used to be clever ways to make adena but all of those are gone, my goal was to at least have a way to progress and build my char without having to spend more than a subscription like in other mmorpgs. It's just insane that the game has nothing to offer now. I expect to have fun progressing and get to a point where I can be less than a non-factor but from the looks of it you will need 10k$ just to be barely viable. So yea I will most likely quit.

    what used to be and what is changes. Right now the only classes that IMO can do autoattacks (so pattack crit) are evi and maestro. They both (maestro after 106) have a passive/buff that takes 30% of the mob's HP and triggers on auto attacks. Everybody else has to focus on skills. So Skill Crit Damage items are very expensive.

    Well i changed my fists for slasher and made kamael titan... it has SA crit rate + crit damage and crit damage... later i will change to better but i heard its best to go normal crit damage at first

    Titan is a bit expensive, IMO, you will need multiple weapons, plus optimal for Titans is P.Skill Crit Damage build, which is 3-4 times more expensive than P.Attack Crit Damage (eviscerator). But yeah light works fine. For specific advice on titans I would defer to people that play it as a main, perhaps ask/read in the relevant warrior subforum for class specific advice.

    You don't really need to dual titan. Red Libra is on, choose whatever race/class you want, level your character to 85 (20 minutes) claim free stone of destiny (one per account), switch to titan. That option will be available for 2 weeks. I know Kamael titans work well, again for specific class advice on titans post in the relevant forum to get attention from people that play the class. 

    How come pskill over normal damage on titan? they used to be all about attacking not skills

    a box is useful. And generally a good idea to level said box to 107 so they can enter all the instances with you aside from TOI.

    Which iss, up to you. Hiero is best in terms of damage. Personally I prefer domi cause it's easy to keep them out of party without running complicated macros. Downside, you need a clan that both your main and domi can be members of, and it can be a bit expensive running a domi [they burn through spirit ore for buffs]

    where to farm, nowhere till 109 or so. After that Isle of Souls is good adena for an hour (+ any overtime you buy with ncoins) [you can enter IOS at 107 but probably can't really kill there till 109] and Forrest of Mirrors that you can pretty much farm 23/7 

    Keep in mind 105-109 will cost some adena, drops suck, consumables are expensive so spend your money wisely.

    Also it's a good idea, if it's a new character, to try and 105 main and dual class in the "free" week of vitality rune you get at 85. Right now with the event buff it's doable.

     

    I hesitate between: evi, gk, titan, maestro or spoiler
    Ppl tell me to go titan but idk if i should, also if i go titan i must make it on dual because i dont like orc race.
    What race is best for titan? I will pick that race make a main class and make titan dual.
    Can i play titan with light set to share with main class? Or titan use heavy all time now?

    evi is cheap high single target damage. If you want AOE dualclass archer or whatever. But evi is easy to exp, cheap to equip, and can farm decent adena. All you need is a 50 euro/usd +10 blessed exalted set and the gear you already have. That will get you to 112 with relative ease. 

    AOE is optimal exp/farm. Optimal isn't always attainable

    Ok I can try that, do I need evi + iss box? which ISS, hierophant? Also where to farm for adena and items with evi?

  8. Actually, I've been playing a bit and the game has just too many issues. Thanks NCSoft for ruining the most fun mmorpg out there with crap design that caters to p2w whales and keep normal players out of the game by making designs that normal people can't make any adena or any items even if they pay with real money they still don't make items. Game crashes for no reason also and launcher think game is still running lol. All good, dead game and devs should have seen this coming with their designs to only keep whales and push everyone else to quit.

  9. So, there is not a single way to progress from zero? That's nonsense. I don't expect to be a top player but I expect to be able to progress in some way. Is spoiler any useful here? Are there spots for single target farming or all is AOE now? What kinda instance I can make maybe in boxes that I can farm solo etc etc.

    Again, I am still trying to choose what to play, and the gear i mentioned i can sell for other gear

  10. Hello,

    I have ~19bil cash, +12 PVE R99 fists 3SA (which I can trade for similar weapon), some basic gear like ring of creation, baium, circlet.

    Overall I am not very rich and I was thinking to come back to play.

    What class should I make so I can start farming some adena and why? Or what strategy/trio boxes can I make?

  11. I never really spent too much time enchanting cause I always failed so I gave up a long time ago but now I want to try again. I need tips because there are many new items in game like save tickets and giants scrolls, stones etc.
    My question is:
    What is some strategy to enchant weapons to +12?
    0-2 normal scroll
    2 giant scroll -> what if +3/+4/+5? use giants scroll again?
    at what + i start to use blessed?
    how do save tickets work?
    is it worth to use heavenly scroll which cost 6+b?
    Or should i not bother enchant to +12 and buy full weapon +12 30b

  12. It would be a good idea to put a mechanic that allows to upgrade the stage of a SA on a weapon. Some weapon have stage 6-7 SA which costs already adena but then if you want to make it lvl 8 you have to lose it all. It would be good that for a fee you can upgrade the stage of a SA and also while I am at it, we should be able to pay some fee to change SA without needing a new crystal because stage 8 is expansive. I think it would be faire to put a fee which is high but still much lower than the price of a new crystal just to change SA. Because if you want to buy a weapon and it doesn't have the SA you want it is very frustrating to know you need to change the SA and it's bad for peer 2 peer buy/sell of weapons.

  13. Try as much as possible to use something that share same gear, I forgot if you can take a tyrr dual since u are tyrr main because at some point we could in the past, if you can take tyrr i would say dreadnaught since u will share same gear and pole is generally cheaper weapon and its the best aoe class and ur GK is pro single target raid killing. If you cannot make tyrr dual i sould say depends on what set u use on main heavy or leather. If you use leather yul would probably be best choice. You will also be able to use it in pvp better than other choices. I would say go for yul cuz any other class will cost u really a shit ton to gear up. Rogue was another choice but ur GK is already a single target DD melee range. My char is yul/GK but yul main and gk sub and it makes alot of sense.

    I agree 7 - its not ok. But in may opinion 4-5 its best for all. Like before i said - normally we using party of 2-4 acc and most 1-2 shops. Personally im using 3-4 - if play afk. Instances - with 1. I think most active people in game doing like this. Most we have 2 computers. Before was need to use 1 computer for shops - all we have something to sell or to buy. And in client login now we have 5 acc login memory. So maybe 5 its best option.

    You guys keep taking this argument which is invalid cause you are jealous that you can't run 7 accounts. Stop it, account limit is not the problem it was working without a single problem before update. They need to fix the real problem not put a band aid on it so that it can mess up even more in the future.

    TriHard you are wrong, if it contributes to the economy, but to the economy of NCSOFT ..:D:D in L2store 100,000 x 10NCOIN are sold .. (SoulShot)

    In this case it can be modified, instead of 1 shot for 1 hit, could be 1 shot for next 1000 hit or something and cost of shot price would increase to make it even so the same in the end. Even if you do 1 shot for 2 hits it will reduce shot lag by 50% so it's pretty considerable.

    disable auto shots, they never worked and cost money if you don't have a crafter that can craft the mysterious shots.

    root of all lag is Auto Shots!!!! also apart of the macro system if ya didn't know :+D

    This guy has a pretty big point, wouldn't it be a good idea to remove shots and just integrated it on hits instead of making it a consumable item? ALL effects of shots would be integrated in hits and the consumable part of it would be removed. In the current state of the game shots don't make any adena and it's also unfair that bssr is much more expansive than ssr. I think removing/reworking the shots system to alleviate server load without removing any of the effect of shots would be a good decision. Shots were a big part of the economy before but in this state of the game it doesn't contribute to the economy in any noticeable ways.
