rim kama gives the lucein bracelet. +10% patk or matk at top enchant. very good in pve and pvp.

I think the next event may be Rim Kamaloka. At least I hope, that's a fun event.

the server is restarted. internal scripts that are set to run for a week are reset. plus, its always good to perform a restart every now and then for the hardware. Also, even if they dont say a specific feature changes, we typically still have some sort of file update that has to be sent for the client, even if it is small.

The most you can do, to my knowledge, is check your creation birthdate. This is /birthday or /birthdate or /mybirthday or something like that, can't remember exactly. Outside of that, for a true hour count, you would need to calculate it yourself based off known play time and estimated hours per day. I don't think Ncsoft could even give you a true count of total online hours after all the migrations they have done. Hope this helps.

I'm still waiting on @Juji or @Hime to tell us how our feedback was received about the last update. I 100% agree with you that they should do things to make the game better and attract more players. Sadly, all of the communities suggestions fall on deaf ears. Price structure, lack of item availability, random bans, coin store, etc. The list goes on and on. Everything has an end eventually. But i doubt this closes anytime soon.

We can all only wish that happens. However, death knight will come right about when ppl are done with aden. I think you will see people come back to live servers this winter.

You are very optimistic

i see this issue constantly. i have to refresh the page and then the button appears. i am using chrome. also, when you post a topic, it will say you dont have the ability to do this or whatever, refresh there too and it will then be correct. the old forums were much better

miserable is an understatement. the class can have stage 3 dragon wep and lvl 120 and still not do damage bc the summons are perma locked at low level.

thats pretty gross, but not unheard of unfortunately same thing can happen walking into a casino with 750 usd. the key is not risking what will make you mad if you loose and have nothing. its all gambling.

i do castilla 120 on my 112 yul. pew pew.

This is an event we may see soon, I hope. It was called Rim Kamaloka.

Unfortunately, Ncsoft doesn't care about summoners. They have been terrible for a long time. Summons don't scale, it's a forgotten class. Maybe they will be updated in 2 updates, keep your fingers crossed or reroll like all other summoners.

l2 is a cash cow thats running out of cows. if they put core prices and events, added the coin store, the amount of people who would come back to play i do think would be alot with the correct marketing approach. sadly, our division of ncsoft is irrelevant, so this wont happen.

pass on the event then sadly thanks for the reply.

@Hime @Juji artifact question: will the +1/+3 trade in option be enabled?

i will test the front dmg of shadow hunter later tonight. i went off tooltip alone. also, to your point on the 3 jumps. grim reaper is one of the main reasons i like the GH. it eliminates range the best of the 3 daggers.

welcome back those epics are good. I would recommend using the blessed exalted light armor set purchase and making it all +10. This will get you some excellent upgrades for very cheap. you daggers, if they arent bloody, will need upgraded. The SA's need to be "Death" and "Fire" to max your dmg on target. you epics are fine as those rings give p atk crit dmg. you need to stack all items that give p atk crit dmg, p skill crit dmg, patk, p skill power. All of thise directly affect your damage on target and all apply equally to your stabs. yes, patk crit dmg and p skill crit dmg stack for your stabs. i dont advise gambling any upgrade at this stage in the game. save and buy the item outright that you want/need artifacts and la vies are extremely important to increasing damage output. However, these arent needed for pre 110 material. they are a very large boost, but can become very expensive. i would see if you enjoy the game with the above recommendations to 110 and then splurge on more. i will answer this rather broadly: epics: rings should be a p atk crit dmg and p skill crit dmg ring (see angel ring, fallen angel ring, dragon ring). the cheaper rings like AQ, Baium are fine. earring: atlas +12 and lind or angel or anything really necklace: blessed frint or old valakas is fine. you really want the reuse off this item. Armor: the blessed exalted is what you should snag. it has tons of stuff to help you out. Gear Upgrades: every upgrade needs to focus on your damage output and increasing it. Always! DMG on Target % = P Skill Power % = P Atk Crit DMG % = P Skill Crit DMG % = Patk % what this means, if you stab something for 100 damage, then equip a 10% patk or crit dmg item, you will then hit for 110 damage. Always focus on more damage because you have to live in the 1 shot world as a dagger. i do not recommend investing in defensive items outside of a +8+ bloody armor set. All epics, if they dont give reuse or more damage, dont invest. Which items are more important? whatever gives u the highest % of the above stats for the cheapest price at that time. edit: you can still go and compelte the starter quests to get all that starter gear, basic brooch, lvl 3 jewels etc. i would advise doing this. it starts in gludio.

please do not forget. the ghost hunter has +35% front dmg boost. Shadow hunter gives a raw +65% patk crit dmg boost before the -30% to the front. Also, when you consider the different daggers, you have to consider how their special skilsl behave. Shadow Reverse of the GH will always perform a max dmg back stab when the mob is attacking/targeting you. A WR's side step is the same way. You have to have the mob facing you or agro on you to have their skills work properly. An adventurer, after considering how the special stabs work, always performs less as good as the GH and Spolier. Also, the 30% pve dmg on spoiler really puts it above all other daggers in pve. Couple that with the head/tails buff and its pretty crazy strong in the dmg it can put out in a front facing siutuation. All of its boosts still apply in the absence of a vital spot attack, and substantially more than the 50% the adv gets. (pve dmg +30%, patk +30%, patk crit dmg +20%, p skill crit dmg +20% - all at once) patk % = crit dmg % = skill crit dmg % = p skill power % = dmg % increase on target.

If you read my post, I did ask them when it was on the AH. They stated they could not tell me about this item. I submitted it exactly where you said to.

the skills all say what they do. if you are confused about what a specific description means, feel free to ask.

This isn't a cry post, I'm just posting my recent experience with this system. Recently, a dragon was killed on Chronos, and shortly after a +0 Dragon Ring appeared on the auction house for 80b. I submitted a petition asking if the item on the auction house had been restored. The GM denied me the request due to the item not being in my inventory. Well, what are my options now? Only 1-2 rings drop every 2 weeks, and they are snatched up instantly. So I bought it, enchanted it, it failed going +1, replied to my petition asking to restore it. Guess what? The item has recently been restored by the support staff. Should I have asked again before enchanting? I guess... I asked for them to validate the item's history via IP's, chat logs of my character shouting for the past 4-5 weeks wanting to buy this item in world chat, all of which are denied and I'm left with a too bad so sad and thank you for your understanding type of response. I have a couple points to make with this experience/post. 1st, Whoever was awarded the dragon ring from the raid, enchanted it, failed it, restored it and listed it on the AH to appear as a fresh drop, there is a special place in hell for people like you. 2nd, To random players wanting to buy items fairly on the open market that are farmed by a select few people. Be careful. 3rd, to NCsoft ( @Juji @Hime ). I think its time you add some type of tool tip/ID/icon/something showing if an item in game is eligible for restore since the 90 day restore aspect is the governing factor on if it can be done or not. If a player way less off than me got burnt on 80b like this, they would quit. As for me, I have had 2 separate less than adequate experiences with the support staff over the past few weeks which. It is what it is, its on me to stay or leave. I will end with, you should update your restoration policy, because you do not follow it. If an item is not eligible for a restoration, the NCSOFT Support Team will let you know in response to your request. You refused to follow this part of your policy. How are players supposed to check if an item on the open market has been restored or not? If you care to look into it, Ticket # 23751176 Have a nice weekend.

the drop rate is the same, mobs just drop qty 2 items instead of qty 1. you should farm 2x as much as you usually would.

hmm... interesting...

can you purchase 1 pack 5 times in 1 day? this is the problem...
