Word from a more or less poor player ... take advice with grain of salt. I'm only 110 on my DK, but I find that anything that reduces skill recovery/cooldown time is a plus. My weapon SA is even set to skill cooldown at the moment. The DK's skills are its hallmark, so anything that gets those going as frequently as possible or as long as possible is what you want. Also, don't skip on items that increase your PDef, although that doesn't necessarily have to be at the top of the priority list. My DK was squishy until I made a +10 Levi set and added Tersi 5/6 and armor augments to him. The role of the DK, though, is to deal massive AOE damage, so don't break the bank on this. There are lots of ways to add pdef without plopping down billions on Protection talismans or Diamond jewels. I don't know if my current setup will work at 113+, but I do ok for now with help from buffpet.

Since when did 1 Halloween Cookie constitute "lots"??? Sure, sometimes you get 2 or 3, but most of the time I've only received 1. In the real world, we egg and toilet paper houses where the people only give out 1 piece of candy for Halloween. Consider yourself warned, NCSoft.

Prestige subscribers should have access to some type of lottery like this. Two drawings a day -- all with exceptional odds of winning -- except on Friday, when the prize is a 20B adena treasure chest. If no one wins, the prize amount rolls over into the following week. The pot keeps increasing until someone wins it. That will increase subscribers and reward the people who help keep the lights on in L2.

I don't know the conversion rate of NCoin to $$$. What is the going price if I wanted to buy a Stage 1 of these weapons, either bow, cutter, fist or dual dagger? How much NCoins do I need to buy then sell store items to convert to adena?

Wait, he's just started playing this game and has a boss weapon? WTF?! Is there an NPC somewhere handing these out for free???

You had to have bought them, or you're on a different server, because there was only 1 winner in the first 6-7 hours of the event, which means that the most that your 2 toons should have when you replied is 200 coins.

Cleaning out inventory and saw these on a character I haven't played in a while. What are they used for?

Easily one of L2's worst events. There's really no reason why there shouldn't be one winner every draw, since most of the items that you buy with the coins are removed in a couple of weeks. Ridiculous.

Most of the +30 weapons now in game were made well over a year ago when the enchant rates were different. A friend of mine made one and then quit the game right after.

Free items that almost no one will get, because the likely possibility exists that only 1 Oriana winner will be selected every 6-8 hours. Let's face it, Oriana's Lucky Coin event sucks and it always has sucked. They would have been better served adding an XP event in addition to Oriana's.

But the event that's ending today was the best way to get millions of free soulshots. If you didn't need the HEWR, the Level 4 Opal, or the 30-Day Bloody Rune, you could have used the L2M Celebration Coins to craft shots.

Most of us just sold the +12 weapons and bought other items that we needed. It's an easy way to make 300-400 billion adena.

Figure I'd make it easy for the GMs to review our feedback. I just have one question: The Top-grade Red Cat's Eye Lv. 10 costs 500,000,000, but we only get to keep it for slightly less than a month? Am I reading that correctly?

If I recall correctly, most players were still complaining about how difficult the mobs were to kill the last time. I expect them to be harder this time, but the rewards to be crappy. Maybe we should start a new thread about Rim, if someone hasn't already?

If I'm being honest the melee lag is starting to bother me. Unless I play my Doomie. Manually I kill faster than I do with the macro. There's no pause or half second for the targeting to set on something like with the macro. Next Target, Dash. Easy. But it doesn't work like that with automated macro. It's Pause > Next Target > Next Target > Pause > Dash. Somteimes it works right and macro is fluid. Next Target>Dash>Next Target>Dash. No delay at all. But that is once every 100 or so kills. Those seconds add up. I wonder how much time is wasted between the automated attack macro delay and the melee lag? I haven't bought any instance extending tokens because I'm convinced I'm not getting the benefit of the full hour because of the lag.
