I agree that boxes loot much less than before. Even before event started, they were dropping like 1-2 at least per hour. Since then I am lucky to get even 1 in 6 hours... Approximately 3k of those boxes open, and always the same players I see shouting that they got something. Like every event, they get something. It´s my 5th event now, still 0 drop. At least we get some experience potions etc (like we earned it after those DC festival, lags etc). For the Anniversary, I hope NCWest has a good reason to not give us the whole event! Totally unfair that other servers get the full content, but we sheeps don´t get it. I came back since December and they screwed us at least 5-8 times on various rewards here. Totally unfair compared to other servers. @Juji will we at least get the rest of 16th Anniversary event like other servers do? Thank you.

I wouldn´t recommend hitting Blazing Swamp at 99, because exp is the same like in Bloody Swampland and it takes you more time to kill monsters in Blazing Swamp. Best is to stay until lvl100 at least in Bloody Swampland, kill rate will be faster there. 99-105 you pretty much run in Exalted 1 + 2.

You should have opened them all and enchanted in same time. I got like way 2x Lv5 Shilen SA. Sold one, kept one.

6.8m not bad. I got hit 2.6m by Zariche on my main bad geared. I am able fulled buffed to 1 Hit when doing a critical a nice Tyrr 108 this shows how balanced the game is They should give 1b for 1st owner and decrease Adena rate by 50% for each owner later.

@Djos The problem indeed is the catching up & new items & exp curve. You simply cannot buy with real money enough items to sustain yourself in game unless you spend over 1-5k euros per months and you are lvl108+ with good gear. I start sustaining myself since I pay Prestige at least in order to make 5b (Storm + PI) +- the whole month. If I would inject 25 euros ... I would save 1 month of "farming" and play the game (pvp 1 shot and I am dead, GG...). I would join a game where I don´t communicate with other and stay afk 24/7 instead until I reach the tunnel at lvl110 - 114 when life has passed by. A friend YUL in game is stuck! He is running in Exalted lvl108, making 0 Adena with another box due to his PC age, no prestige nothing! So far, he got in total 850M Adena!!! A total joke for 4 months of playing! We even do everyday IT (ear, ewr, 3m reward super), Storm, Pi, IOS with him. This shows what content the game has left for us not a single real item if you don´t inject items in game from "pay event". What does a new player pays per month? Let´s say 250 euros and you sell the IOS Stone, this would be 285 x 150m (per Stone) = 42.75b Adena = 1x Bloody R99 +12 Weapon. He does the same for 1 year = 3000 euros to equipment himself in a proper way. (a tiny little nice car for young students) During 1 whole year every player does the same. What happens? If no one would sell his armor/weapon? Total game economy collapse, because at some point people won´t be able to buy new items, because the stock is empty. And this happens every time. Just before "pay event", we see less and less shops in Aden. What does a top player make per day? 5-15b? Approx 150-450b per month for free. On the other side 285 Stones for a top player = 6 Stones per day (1char hein...) x 30days = 180 Stones = 180 x 5-15b (per day) = +- 900b to 2700B per month with 100 Stones left! Colossal Adena in the game! I do not make any advertisement! Not to imagine if you would sell this..... 1b = +- 6e means 1000b = 6k euros in real life wtf! Now I can understand why "old players" are still around playing. We all see the shouts.. Current "pay event" is injecting items into game since we can´t "farm" anymore those items. If NC wants to go 1 step further, implement Stage 1-3 Dragon weapons/+12-+30 R110 weapon/+6-+10 R110 armor into those fancy boxes and you can close the game really soon and all Adena farmers will stop because it is useless to farm if some random comes with his weapon and starts pvping while you are farming in ToI/PI or any other new spot I don´t know since I am kissing Alligator Island with my character for weeks without "discovering" what is going on somewhere else since it takes me forever to make decent gear from normal hunting zones, nor can I do proper pvping. Check zones 107 only afk sheeps until they hit 110.

I make 2-6 blessed circlet scrolls as a Yul 108 with no top gear. From those people you talk they are stuffed like Valakas I would suggest you guys to make a Dread I started a new Dread months ago just for farming. Box second tank + iss and you are good to farm the same and give all items to your evi etc.

500 boxes here, mostly crap. 2x DEWR, 7 DEAR, 2 Greater Runes Stones, 29 Runes Stones, 2 Gold enchant items, 1 Royal Black, rest was random crap to sell to NPC for being angry. Total sell value +- 100b Adena. Not a simple real item like TEVAS did.

Hello All, I made some recent first changes. Thank you for your input. I went DEX+15, CHA+5 on dyes. My stats are: STR129 & DEX 89 while having all dyes on DEX! Still not 90! When I have enough cash, I migh do rest also in CHA +5. I sold finally some items to make weapon +11 with HEWR (damn 9b!). Also I did augment, but got max P.Skill Critical Damage 4,5% with 20 Top Stones. I might try later when I farm more in order to buy 100 Stones in same time and spend a whole day doing this. I did spend now over 80 stones already on this augment .... Also I did put +7 my Leather Armor and Leggings. I bought Tauti+5 (real one), but still looking for Angel Ring +5/+6, but needs to gamble again this 1.5b boxes ingame in order to enchant those. I upgraded my Bracelet to +5 Greater Kaliel´s Bracelet, waiting for new farm for upgrade to Top, but it opened a new Talisman slot for future upgrade. Should I go for 7 Sign? About Cloak, I am waiting a bit for more cash, but I didn´t know about P.Skill CD! Thanks! About skills: Pinpoint +16 Break, Quick Shot +11 Break, Tornado Short +10 Focus, Impact Shot +7 Focus, Recoil Shot +7 Focus. I had some Mark Battle left on other chars. Why I made Break on first two skills is because I made 2 hours tests (1h each, Break vs Focus) on mobs and I was hitting harder with Break on the tests. Killing mobs in Forest of Mirrors. I am able to hit 50-220k damage now on them. Buffed up, I do 680k with luck I forgot to mention I had Water Ari Lv2 at 22.08% and Ability enchanted, now I need to lvl him up. There also I spend like 20 Homunculus to get him, but I keep trying to make a Top one until I get it, I will lvl this one.

It is what it is... We all start the same way. Fishing.. Then you need to focus on 1 character! Best is to make a big damage dealer where you need to inject months and months of time to improve, after that you can start making the character you want. Alternative: make a puller lvl105 and shout for PI/Storm Isle and ask to share some items I made my main, one fishing girl(finally Fancy Rod), one mentee. Every day I pm my "donor" if he needs me for Storm/PI farm for pulling services. Reward -> scrolls which I sell and gear my main. I started in December again the game. Some friends started in January. So far I got this: R110 set +6 (3 parts the cheapest Bloody), Radiant Circlet +5, Cloak+10, Bloody Weapon +8 (3SA), atlas+12, ring of creation+5, aries +5, dragon shirt+5, insanity talisman, venir 18, abu lvl1, +10 DEX/+5STR dyes, most skills are +10 on my char. Nothing special! It took me countless hours of fishing, mentee leveling, doing Balok, Istina numerous times with friends. With the last big boost on server, I was able to make 50% of my current gear. Since then, I am stuck on a 1 week upgrade item. (skill, OE, items) Btw Balok didnt change that much... You can do it twice per week instead of once, with difference that you need more people. So it is a compensation in between. In my main group, our tank (returning player) is geared in armor R110 120 elements and rest exalted, Healer (returning player) is full exalted, ISS is full exalted, our Dread (returning player) is running a R110+8 pole, a second Yul is running lvl107 in Exalted. We are all 107-108. Our daily is IT for a 3m reward... We have been getting EWR, EAR and 3m with a full group of 7 players for the past month! Nothing else! It is like a kick in the balls, but it gives almost 0.8% per day at lvl108 which makes 70% of our exp per day. We even tried in Giran the instance, which we finished with some "luck" and we got crap out of it. Luckily I do Storm/PI/Castilla/IOS (3hours every evening) in solo mode to gather more exp and Adena. Today, I can make Adena in Storm Isle (65m free per day), 2-4 blessed circlets enchants in PI in one hour. +- 65 - 200m per day. I don´t want to know how this ends after the event... Same goes for our Dread friend. Put this in calculation, it is 2 - 6b Adena per month. Inject instead 20 euros for IOS Stone and you have the same result .... 1 second vs 1 month gameplay... I do agree that NC could make an effort with party exp. I make actually 1,6b per mob in a group of 5 people together in a lvl107 zone. If I run to Alligator, duo with my own ISS, I make 3b instead... This is a kick in the balls for friends and clan mates who try to group up to do better damage and help each other. The best! If I go to Phantasmal Ridge! I get a bit less exp, but I kill twice as fast than in Alligator. Calculation were made on a 1-day test that I increase my daily experience by 30% while staying in 103 zone instead of 107 while being lvl108... A friend I meet ingame, he can only start 2x clients (Yul+ISS) on his PC, he is forever alone, because it takes him time in Desert Quarry to kill a mob in Exalted when in party, exp drops massively. After big update we saw what will come to us, one day we will drop 0 Adena and we will have to pay for subscription to get any drop and Adena in vitality mode... The only way to "break" this game would be that all lvl100+ players would stop playing just for 1 month or not buy any of the items others buy from L2Store. Why? Because people need weapons, armor etc. Where those come from? Big players that farm bosses in 30 seconds. Who benefits from this? Big players because they get massive Adena, NCSoft because people inject money for NCoin and the people who inject money (IOS Stones) need to inject really really a lot get a decent gear to be able to farm on their own. If NC would really want to break the market, they simply need to put Dragon Weapons in the L2 Store! No more ninja farming for top players and we would probably start making more PVP! If NC would make all items "non-tradeable" even the big players would have to invest real money to remain in game. I started to "play" the game a bit more since I am lvl108 (damn! 6 months of doing afk and only farming for gear), because out of "magic" my character started doing more damage due to passive increase. I was doing Storm at lvl107 with same gear as lvl108 but there is a massive difference. I can´t imagine in 6 months when I might hit lvl110 with this pace ... 1 year of farming to start the game ... If I would buy 6 Storm Isle recharges and play straight 6 hours for one month, it would cost me 12.600Ncoins! Approx 200euros! For "exping" in a game from 108 -> 109 ...

These upgrade cost a lot! specially the +10 to +20. Even I am doing the Olympiad every time. Same for weapon to +12 and set +8 are difficult to make. What R99 Box of Paulina you mean? The one from L2Store? 400 Ncoin? 1. I could change 1 tattoo to +5 DEX, now stats are STR 136 (+5), DEX 83 (+10) even with dropping last +5 STR, I would hit maximum DEX 88. 2. Pinpoint Shot is +10, Quick Shot +10, Tornado +10, Recoil Shot +7, Bullseye +6 Hex 3. I spend now today another 20 Stones without success, a total of over 60 Stones (20b Adena) without getting the augment pskill crit damage. I got max P.Atk +376/P.Skill Crit Rate +1,65%. My character is pretty unlucky on enchants and augmenting...

Hi, My main is a lvl108 Human Yul MS, which I changed years ago from Saggi to MS but kept it as a Human. I feel my character has more potential, but somehow I am stuck on damage increase that´s why I am here. I am geared following: - R110 bloody helmet, bloody gloves, bloody boots, enchanted armor and enchanted leggings (set +6) -> Bloody enhancement Stones are a rarity on Naia and expensive. - Elmore Cloak - Leg. +10 (p.crit rate +7%), Radiant Circlet +5, Dragon Shirt +5 - Bloody Krishna +8 450 Fire element (Stage 7 - Fire, Stage 8 - Speed Fire, Stage5 - Punishment) & Enhanced Orichalcum Arrow Ak. - Atlas +12, Ring of Creation +5, 7-day Blessed Anty, 7-day Tauti, 7day-Blessed Valakas necklace, 7-day Ruler Authority - Insanity Talisman, Abu lvl1, Venir+18, Exalted Talisman - Dyes +5DEX, +10 STR (2x +5STR) - Jewels lvl3 from Exalted & Greater Ruby from L2Sweet, Agathion Aries +5 - Skills all +5 to +8 Focus (pin point), AOE skills on Power +5 - Forgotten Power - Physical Attack lvl15 - Artifact Set 1, but none of the artifact are improved Stats: - 85k p.atk with POM / 92k p.atk with avenger aura, abu + savage + hunting instinct + minds eye I go up to 140k p.atk, sometimes a bit more with Rose & Royal soup, max 320k patk with BR. - STR: 141, DEX 78, CHA 58 Abilities: - berseker might (lvl4), berseker elemental attack (lvl4), berseker craft focus (lvl 3), berseker focus (lvl1), , berseker craft death (lvl 3), berseker battle (lvl2), Berseker Fire (lvl2), Berseker Blessing (lvl2), Berseker Binding Attack (lvl1), Berserker divine Attack (lvl2) What I do every day? - Storm Isle (10-15T exp solo + 60m Adena+-, 1-2 circlet scrolls max), Primeval Isle (5-6T exp + 15m Adena max), Imperial Tomb (30mins with main group), IOS (+- 20-30m Adena, mobs are stronger) - Friday/Saturday I do Olympiad for skills - With friends we do often Balok, Istina to get Adena. What did I try to improve? - Use 40-50 Superieur Stones for the weapon in order to get pskill crit damage 15 or 20% without success. - Use 10 Cloak Stones to get additional bonus - 1x Mentee for blessed circlet scrolls, 1x Fishing Girl with Fancy Rod for Elcyum What would I like to improve? - Finish my Bloody set - Get pskill crit damage on weapon as augment - Hit the Limited Krishna which will be a though one maybe next year since Bloody Stones are like 5 in AH and I need 30 of em. Do you have any suggestion? Thank you.

I go there as a Yul 108 not top geared (massive difference from 107 -> 108). I know the time lap of people going there in Naia. It is always crowded from 6 p.m (GTM+2) until midnight. After midnight Hybrid and MAX kissing themselves there During day always the same 4-6 guys farming the spot there. You see the same names again and again. So the best I do, I do PI before or after and that´s it. Yesterday one big boy geared Yul was next to me doing 1-2 hits, while I did 10 hits for the same mobs. He kindly asked me to go to the next spot near him so he could do proper farming. Np I moved since it was free. If it had not been free -> soe and I would have done the remaining time later. At entrance of PI if you move forward on the right at the end, there are always 2 Tyranus, just next there right is a lovely little spot with 6-8 mobs, I always go there and no one bothers me. Sometimes when mobs faded, I warn the guy farming the whole big spot if I may take 2-4 mobs from his corner spot and until now, no one said "no". A simple run, gives me at least 3-6 blessed circlet scrolls and the same amount in other 2 scroll types. PI is not supposed to give you top exp! That is why you have Storm Isle instead. Kill ratio for me in Storm Isle is better than PI same for exp.

Hi @Juji, This simply shows that the Dev Team or who ever makes the decisions doesn´t react to players in forum. What is the point of doing Balok with 14 players nowadays? The boss drops in 15 seconds and sometimes doesn´t even drop a Rune Stone compared to 30 seconds with a group of 7 players? The probability even decrease for a single player to get a Rune Stone. I recommend you even to put it for 50 Hero Coins instead of 25 Hero Coin and to increase it to 21 players so no one will do Balok or make Balok lvl 110 for Greater Rune Stones so everyone has to buy it from L2 Store.

Starting from lvl107 all you can do is: Storm Isle, Primeval Isle, IOS, IT (20trillion exp quest). You can get quest from fishing also in order to increase your faction.

Hi, I wish NC would do something about this for real instead of encouraging players to kill for fun other players that try to start the game.

Hi, As the title mentioned, there is since Wednesday a huge PK festival on the Naia server in the zones 85 - 105 (Altar, Bloody Swampland, War-Torn, Blazing Swamp). I did a mail to your support about that, but it seems that they do nothing against it. Following players have been PKing on purpose players multiple times: **** I started a new character on Wednesday after the server reboot, since then I got PKed 16 times! For the places listed above. This 1 hour DC system is encouraging people to actively kill people on purpose. I tried to PM one of them to stop killing me multiple time I went back to spot after they killed me and there they come and kill me again! So NC says "this is allowed", no it is not due to your own rules. It is an abusing step and harassment for repeated killing and not playing in good faith. I wish NC would do something about this for real instead of encouraging players to kill for fun other players that try to start the game.

They should implement a pop-up that asks after 4 hours "Are you still playing?". If you don´t reply in the 2 mins that follow -> DC and thanks for your slot.

I always request/reply to appeal@ncsoft.com. This email support@lineage2.zendesk.com has some issues, because sometimes mails don´t go through correctly. After 24/48/72 hours I resend my whole mail history. I know how ticketing works.. (Move ticket to "accomplished" without replying )

This is the reason why I totally stopped doing parties at coals/storm/pi. Since with my dread 105 in exalted I can kill easily in coals, just takes 3 seconds more time. Everytime I add 1 more person into party, less xp. I made calculations: 7 men/women party I lose 50% of my daily XP instead of killing solo. So basically parties are just a waste of time atm. Even if you kill faster, exp drops compared to soloing. I hunt atm in Alligator with my main. 3-7b exp per mob solo, 1-1.5b exp in full group. Totally useless to make a party (>3) that big and destroys the purpose of doing a party.

Once I didn´t get any answer for 72 hours so I resend them my mail every 12 hours with the follow-up. Seems they already replied to my ticket, but it never arrived to me. So after 104 hours later I finally got a reply There is no SLA since you don´t pay for a service. Just be more patient and resend your mail.

I can confirm that this night was again a huge DC festival. About 10 friends around the world got DC at the same time. At around 1a.m. (GMT+1) I saw 2x party members logoff while in combat at the same time, my mentee disconnected and reconnected immediately 5 minutes later. I wrote him if he got DC also and he replied "yes". So i kept watching and 1 hour later, 1 of my character for 0 reason also got DC. While my other character was still connected. So I connect again, and suddently I saw Blazing Swamp much more empty than before. Affecting zones: Blazing Swamp, Alligator Island In &chat I asked if some people noticed this too and indeed it seems that a lot of friendlists noticed this incident also. I usually "never" get any DC -> lucky me, but first time in a month, I got 2x DC yesterday morning and during day while my buffer was still connected. Glassfiber 500mbps connection here, running a stable NAS at home for over 3 years without interruption. So my ISP is really reliable. When I get a "connection cut", my NAS send me locally emails to tell me, usually it is not more than 1-2 seconds delay. My NAS hasn´t reported anything for past 2 days, so it must come from NC and Telia. Running a MSI GL63 95FK (24GB Ram, 1TB m2 SSD where the game is installed, 5TB of HDD, 2TB SSd, RTX 2070) laptop through Ethernet cable. I am a network engineer & security expert, the problem I could analyze from traffic comes from Telia problems and NC, not from our ISP since I have a friend who works for my ISP and he keeps me updated when something has happened and has sent me already multiple times backtracks of my logs. I can confirm once we "leave" European routers, the connection becomes worse quickly.

You can login 3 accounts? So if you got 5x friends ingame, the 5 can at least do a boss for rune stones. Make Tyrrs GK, Tyrr Titan or Evi and you are good to go. With friends we all started 1x iss, 1x heal, 1x evi/titan or evi on each account of our accounts only for Balok. Drop HP of Titan < 20% one BR and the boss drops fast. Before update, it was easier since we needed less chars to login, but less damage also. We still have all 5 our 3 accounts for this. Redo it until you get rune stones for your main character and all friends. Redo it for Adena. Once you get enough cash, buy better weapon for those characters so boss dies even faster until you reach a point where Balok dies in 1 minute or less. At night, we usually play only our main characters iss/tank/dread/yul/heal. If one gets DC during night and doesn´t relog, one connects his second account for this special case. People whinning are those, who don´t play with other players, or connect their 50 chars to play solo and farm solo. Recommendation: ALT+Y and put a friend there. About login queue, my 2 & 3 account are only 2mins ingame together! Then I log them off. Calculations with 5000 real players: 5000 x 2 min for 2char per Balok not at the same time = 10.000 min with 2 chars = 166.66 hours = +- 7hours of game time where there are 5k users logged 2 chars in if they would all do Balok like we do in 2 min just for us. Means during 7 hours the servers would be at 10k characters ingame. Problem is that greedy players connect 3x chars all the time. Our supreme farmers from server echos I got log even more (up to 50 accounts WTF!). That´s the reason why all spots are taken after 105, 107, 109. People log "dead" characters for leeching xp and doing adena. I would suggest 0 Adena drop, mobs drop weapon/armor/enchant scrolls/rune stone/everything from mentee store, instance bosses drop other high end stuff, dropped items are bound to player and can´t be traded. Catacombs/Necropolis -> entrance with full 7 char group for 1 hour where you could farm high end stuff for your character since you can´t trade it anymore. Problem is: current Special Hunting zone are open for all, means those for 1 hour are open to all players, if they would create a separate special hunting zone, where only you would be inside it would be far better for exp farm. This would reduce the "adena" farm since there is 0 reason for Adena since you can´t drop it. LStore: talisman, jewels, artifact, gem, agathion, forgotten books, enchant increase stone etc. You want it? You pay for it. It is supposed to be a game where you do pvp, not 90% of time only farm, farm and farm adena.

It is all about luck. Getting general, mid or top homunculus. Same goes for commune skills. On my main i did at least 20 homunculus and yet 1 mid juju while on my evi I got on 1st try immediately a top one for the right class.

For Elcyum the response is "NO". Why? Because you can get them from farming. Spending +- 500m in baits+shots for fishing gives you +-2 Elcyum. I don´t see any reason for this to be available for other players through the L2Store. It would literally make fishing useless. You can buy them for 75 Hero Coins ... Too expensive. Rune Stone You get those for 25 Hero Coin or learn to play in team. Superior Giant's Codex - Mastery Start doing Olympiad Alien Nano Supplement Event Don´t need Top-grade Spirit Stone Make a friend spoiler Bloody Armor Enhancement Stone I agree those are rare. I even need those for my armor and boy it is difficult to find them. I did my R110 Bow and helmet so far. Superior Giant's Codex Start doing Olympiad Freya's Luck Potion (called Maphr's before) Maybe you need them

It is free From over 5000 dices that all my friend ingame I know of no one good anything except those items you have been telling (XP material). Seems some people are more lucky than others. So far, I could mate it until Race 5 with one character without buying new dices. If you took the opportunity to buy the 7 day Maintenance Rune you can at least benefit your XP with supplement scrolls etc.
