So is this why mages got Dragon Weapons with coupon every day during the last event and archers only got one every three days? Are archers really 3x more powerful than mages??? Not talking about stacked archer, just the regular guys. Does an archer in only exalted kill and xp 3 times faster than a mage in exalted?

Ignore this madman! Yes, we are EXCITED!

Good to know! But exactly how would this work? Are we turning the dual class into the main with a click of a button, or is it more cumbersome process where we have to create a dummy placeholder character, then split main character into two separate characters and contact support to finish? Then all of the equipment, including bound stuff goes on the dummy character which is the new main?

Late summer is what Juji said -- meaning sometime between next week's system downtime and the last day of summer on September 22nd.

Wait, are you saying that you CAN hunt in 105 and 107 areas, but you need rose, cocktail and soup to do it? Hate to tell you, but most classes in Exalted need those items to xp for a long time without dying. And that was before the update when mobs were easier to kill and didn't hit back as hard as they do now. Your Evis isn't nerfed, it's just brought back to reality. If you want to make it easier, you have to get better equipment. But even then you might still need cocktail at least, unless you have an ISS with prophecy.

On Chronos I found out from a hero who was nice enough to tell everyone in hero chat. Another time, though, JuJi announced in game to come to Fantasy Isle for buffs. That was a long time ago, though.

A Yul Sagittarius? Nice. Don't see too many of those. Most are Ghost Sentinels or Moonlight Sentinels. Generally speaking, the next level up from the Rare Accessory Pack Boss jewels -- but before Dragon and God jewels -- is the regular Boss jewels augmented with Silenite which give a minor boost. After that it's Ring of Authority, +8 or higher Angel jewelry and the Rulers Authority Ring. Some are better than the rare pack jewels, but maybe not for the prices that people are asking. I mean I wouldn't pay 20-30B for a Rulers Ring of Authority. I'd keep using the Earth Wyrm and Tauti from the pack, save up and take my chances on crafting a Sayha ring. The good thing about archers is every little bit helps and there are lots of ways to make them deadly. If you've neglected jewelry, what about artifacts, la vie en rose jewels, cloak, bracelets, circlet and agathions? What about your skills -- have you enchanted them?

Correct, it costs 4000 Ncoin. Way too expensive. Should just re-roll the race you want, unless the character is level 113/110 or higher.

I have Prestige Pack runes, so I probably see more letters drop than others who don't have it. I have had Lineage 2, NCSoft and Tales all totalled a dozen or so times, if not more. My best reward? Orc pots. Most of the other stuff was blessed spiritshots. Would it kill them to let the top rewards drop more than .00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001% of the time?

COMPLAINT: 109 archer and I am forced to hunt Sel Mahums which are 5-6 levels above me making hunting inefficient, because there aren't nearly enough hunting spots for my level. Everywhere I go all of the mobs are taken by other players. The only way you get a spot is after the system reset each week, if you're the first to log in and and IF someone doesn't PK you for your spot. FIX: Mob XP needs to be boosted to help players get from level 105 to 113 faster. We also need a glut of mobs to hunt. Everywhere should be like walking into AC with piles of mobs on top of mobs. Reduce pull chance/range and aggro duration so that no one party can hog all of the mobs to themselves. Also permanently remove Zariche and Akamanah from the game. They are only hoarded by rich players to keep making them richer. No low level who gets the demon swords can keep them for longer than a few seconds. That's how OP some of the elite players are. You allowed this. Fix it. So much is out of whack with this game. Best of luck trying to improve everyone's gaming experience. My sympathies in advance to everyone who quits due to the current horrible state of game. It used to be fun.

In another thread I told someone not to worry about where he will get his shots because NCSoft will have free events where he'll get nothing but shots and none of the good rewards. I apologize for being right ... and wrong. I have received about 5x more sps than ss from the Letters Event so far. I play Yul. Can't sell, can't trade.

I just want to say STOP MAKING THE SHILEN CRYSTALs AND EVERYTHING ELSE THAT WE BUY FROM THE STORE SO bleep HARD TO ENCHANT. There will always be cheaters, but having a 0.0000000000000000000000000000000000001 chance of success on everything that we buy is only going to make more cheaters, not more happy players.

They won't. The point is to help melee as much as possible. They don't give a flying bleep about archers during this event.

It means archers no longer get arrows. You have to kill with bare hands or play whack-a-mob using your bow like a melee. They are going to list it as two handed weapon and you won't get any masteries for it. Welcome to wonderful strange world of Lineage.

I did. Now I'm depressed. My archer needs lots of work still.

Would be nice if this did happen. Might make for fun server with everyone pvping everyone. But I bet most will not waste time. Especially archers who only have one day out of three with Dragon bow.

Appreciate your post, but the operative word here in bold. That's all I'm saying. Even these Dragon weapons are better. Not trying to convince the world on that, though. People can see for themselves tomorrow.

No, they better be thankful that we continue to support this game financially at all through all of the many issues and unresolved problems that we still face. It's not like the Dragon Weapons, buffs and baskets fixed the melee issue. It's just the binky they gave crying melees. 14 days will be over soon enough. And why do people act like archers don't have melee alts? They all do. They just go with the flow.

Tell you what, I'll ask a friend to test it on Friday when archers can get Dragon Stage 1 for a day. His Limited bow is higher than +15 though. Hope that's ok.

We can be relativistic about it, yes, but the actual math and empirical numbers are not the same. I know archers -- and I'm sure you do, too -- who have built their characters with so many other boosts that they can 1-shot you with an R grade weapon. But if I asked you who would you rather face in PVP, a stacked archer with a Dragon Weapon, or a stacked archer with an R grade weapon, you, me, the idiotic-statement-making-dude above and just about everyone else would all say we'd rather take on the Yul who doesn't have the Dragon weapon. Why tempt fate more than we have to?

You went a long way to say jack shit. Rhetoric is not your strong suit.

Please stop with the idiotic posts. A Stage 1 Dragon does NOT have the same damage as a Limited +15. If it did, no one would bother spending trillions of adena to make a Dragon weapon. It costs far, far less than that to make a +15 Limited. If you are getting the same damage on a Dragon Stage 1 as a +15 Limited, then you should go figure out where you went wrong with your character build. You must be missing something. As for the rest of your post, this event lasts for only 14 days. After that melees will go back to Lineage Hell. I wouldn't talk crap to Yul's now, since for the rest of your time in L2 you will be eating their dung.

The Cube of Gratitude After the maintenance on August 5, visit the L2 Store and pick up a Cube of Gratitude for 0 NCoin (one per account). The Cube will reward a Basket of Gratitude. The Basket contains: Vitality Maintaining Rune (2hr) Dragon Weapon Coupon (which is only 1 coupon -- you need 3 for a bow/crossbow) Freya's Ice Rose (Event) (x10) Dandy's Home Run Balls (x2) Emperor's Special Cocktails (x2) The Cube of Gratitude can be opened once per day with the reset happening daily beginning at 6:30 a.m. server time. The Cube can be opened 14 times and on the 14th use, it will yield a Basket of Gratitude and Love.

Bow/shooter need 3 coupons. You only get 1 coupon a day. So you can only get a bow every 3 days, which lasts 1 day. What am I missing?
