Gz and lucky boy Opened over 50 so far and got only Adena from it.

It is pure chance to get them. People have been reporting that in lower level zones (BS, Swampland, War Plains) they don´t drop at all even when you killing 120k monsters. I saw those droping in Alligator Island for example. You can count an average of 10-20 per day maybe while hunting all day. I would rate it from 1/hour. When opening, you get randomly 1-15 coins and 240k Adena from what I´ve opened. No items from it yet and I opened like 20 of those and kept other ones. We will see when they officially announce the event.

I have been doing IT with friends: tank (107), 2xiss (2x BR), healer, 2x yul (106, 107), dread (107) 1yul was geared Bloody R110 weapon +7, armor+6, insanity talisman, venir 18, abu lvl1, skills +6, very low skills pow % and skill crit dmg, dye +5 (STR+DEX) minimum, radiant+0, lindvior, atlas+12, creation+5, tauti, blessed valakas 1x dread (orc) was geared exalted armor, R110 weapon +6 and skills +10 1xtank was geared exalted armor, skills +10 Others were all exalted. This was really short to finish 150/150 but we did it, luckly some half crits from yuls in early HP helped a lot. If full exalted gear runs into IT, except doing lots of "half-kills" you may finish with time otherwise I see it as almost impossible. People may want to be sure to finish the quest everyday instead of spliting it into 2-3 days. Prepare Roses + Santiago buffs to help. Try to make a CP for IT this may help you out to increase your chance of getting a pt.

I started first with my R110 Bloody Helmet before update and I am also stuck on getting Adena/Mats now. Therefore these are the prices before update. There aren´t enough materials in the AH to upgrade. R-Gems and Elcyum are still possible to get, but the prices of Bloody Armor Enchancement Stones are out of reach. Fingers crossed for upcoming changes. You can get them through instance, but it takes time. -- Bloody Lev Armor 20 Bloody Armor enchancement stone = 20x470m 4x elcyum 5239 R-Gem 2,452b Adena -- Bloody Lev Legging 17 Bloody Armor enchancement stone = 17x470m 3x elcyum 3275 R-Gem 1,533b Adena -- Bloody Lev Gloves 8 Bloody Armor enchancement stone = 8x470m 1x elcyum 1310 R-Gem 613m adena -- Bloody Lev Boots 8 Bloody Armor enchancement stone = 8x470m 1x elcyum 1310 R-Gem 613m adena Total: 63 Bloody Armor enchancement stone = 29,61b Adena 9 Elcyum x 630m = 5,67b Adena 11134 R-Gem = 14,029b Adena 5,211b Adena in cash = 54,52b (IOS passes +- 750-1000 euros)

I just got a new enchant point and the counter went back to +0.

I agree that new players have it really really hard now. I met a group of nice people (Brother & Sister) from Canada. They used to play back in the old days. Lucky I was there with my mentee to guide them through the new process of the game. They were struggling to make the 1 + 2nd exalted quest in Blazing Swamp before update so I helped them. Luckly and thanks NC that now quest item is shared for all. One way for new comers was to level 10 mentees +- and sell them to get a R110 base weapon. This process took +- 2 months depending on your time investment. So this was still fine to get a good starting weapon. Now, they have been reporting me that they started new mentees since latest update. They made barely 102 in 3days (coals everyday and castilla), ran out of arrows at lvl101 where they ran out at lvl103 before. So +-6m investment to get infinite arrow in shop. They are now with 7m in each at lvl102 and running out of free soulshots. So even their only "income" to make up for soulshots, gearing now has disappeared since it is impossible for them to farm higher places than Enchanted Valley with their main and no soulshots. For my part, I met a group of 3 people and we were doing daily +- 5% exp easily at lvl107 in Alligator before update. Now this exp is 1,5% +- instead. We barely drop adena from mobs and have to invest saved money for soulshots. I just wish NC would login a level 1 character and play 1 month with the gear (Adena, XP, SP, drops) it gets etc to see the game from our perspective. I can understand that the game is not "Truly Free" and I don´t mind to invest a few bucks from time to time for a nice event (cloak, circlet, agathion), but for the rest it is hard to get it through normal gaming. Fingers crossed that the upcoming event will help us and let´s continue to play with the friends we got ingame Don´t lose faith too fast.

Hi, I would like to report that if you click on the "Enchant Homunculus Ability" and you press "+" to improve the XP ability it happens that your enchant points become negative. This happend on "Lv.1 Juju". I will keep you updated when I get new "Enchant Points" if it will revert to 0. Picture can be found here: https://ibb.co/Px0c1GC

I am wondering how you come to this conclusion and how you know who I am IG.

Some people are not enough geared and have to stay little longer on various spots? But indeed various player have notice unfortunately the same. Leveling mentees also became more difficult. Where they used to be 103 in 2 days, they are only 101 now. Let´s try to make the best out of the current situation.

It is what it is Let´s try to make the best out of the situation.

For my part, even when you summon a new one, you have chances of getting the same one again This happened to me. Communing ability enchants are not easy also maybe more luck with time.

I´ve opened multiple tickets in the past few weeks. They took 12-24 hours to reply maximum. A case takes 3-4 days maximum to be solved or not

So I save 250e for this event to finally make a good cloak. I already had one +16 pve from buying ingame and wanted to make another pvp one to at least +10. After over 200 scrolls, I managed to make a maximum of pvp +5! From rest of my legendary scroll I managed to make my pve +16 -> +9! 7 fails in a row without it succeed 1 time! I took my best char with +82 LUC and I used potions etc to increase but everything failed! So this is simple, first time I bought from NC and nothing worthy came out. When reading feedback from various other players, it seems that the event is a total scam. So next step I will take, I will ask a reimbursement of my cash I spend from VISA. So they can ban my account I dont care. Second I will pursue NC for real, because it is totally illegal to sell items in their store if they dont tell you how much % of success rate you have. I have a friend who is lawyer and I explained him everything, how the success rate of enchant was not mentioned and that was the first real reason he told me this case will be won in no time since an European Law came out that companies have to tell you the success rate you have from buying items in their store. So guy have a lot of fun, but I am not spending any euro anymore to a ripoff company.

You forgot other items which can be bought through mentees: Dragon Shirt, Veteran Mask, Noble/Radiant Circle Stone. For the Radiant Circle Stone, you need approx. 40 mentees! lets calculate this: Consider 2000ppl, everyone logs 3 accounts = 6000 ppl on the same server. It takes approx 3-5 days easy mode to level 1-105 so those 2000 people, server will have a capacity of 6000. Now, you made 2 out of 3 accounts mentees in 3-5 days. Which means the server runs at least for 3 months at 6000 ppl capacity just to get 1 item upgrade! We don't calculate all the new players who start the same process over and over again for Adena. Solution: 1. Stop this mentee system and let people get the items through instances where everyone can do them! 2. Stop Raid bosses 1 week spawn and let people do them in groups of 21, but everyone will get a timer for a week etc. It goes like World of Warcraft. Why does only one "Clan" can do the boss? Because of pvp and they kick their balls to kill the boss. 3. If everyone could do the instance with its clan, game would be more balanced, pvp in siege wouldn't be unbalanced etc. 4. People would stop making mentees and less server stress since hardware seems not to be able to manage it.. NC is shooting into their own foot by making Adena so difficult for new comers and so easy for big fishes. Instead of "greedy" money makers, they should change their business model into making gears/pets/mounts etc more interesting. Who cares now about pets/mounts? It still exists but no one cares about it. What you do from lvl 1 - 107 is exp exp exp. For the rest what is left: fishing, buy/sell and do raids if big clans havent killed it yet. Go to Blazing Swamp, Desert Quarry, you flag -> lvl 107+ comes by and you are 1 hit. Anyway, maybe NC will reconsider the whole game experience one day.

Sounds like 1 week later their material upgrade was 0 material upgrade.

With all the troubles we have to get through, there should be a week of free instances 24/7 active for all players.

It starts to become annoying... Invest time and effort making groups. Bim server goes down. In 15 years NC has never managed to make L2 runs as smooth as it should be. It´s the only game where lag is a selling feature. New hardware? Come on I don´t believe it. Ever heard of primary and secondary server? In case one fails, there is a failover mechanism in placer to balance players on the other server. What was the new hardware? A new raspberry pi? Seriously.... I can understand that to keep up a server it requires a lot of effort, but this problem now exists for years...
