  1. It doesn't cost as much to equip a Feoh, although both eventually need some common items like accessories, talismans, etc. If I had to do all over again, I might choose DK just because the resell value of main items is MUCH higher. For instance, you can't find a Stage 1 DW cutter for under 1 Trillion adena. That's right, I said 1 TRILLION. But you can easily get your hands on DW Stage 1 magic weapon for under half that price.  Even if it's not a retrib, those one-hand DW mage weapons still give you +30% Mage skill crits, which you can further increase with Mermodyn soul crystals. As a Feoh, it comes in handy. I crit so much more now and XP faster.

    The downside to DK is you must have a cutter, which is why prices are high. They should have given them the option of using any one-hand weapon, including magic swords and staffs, but they didn't. DK are supposed to be elite of elite, so should be deadly even if all they had was a glass bottle in one hand. Aside from limited weapon choice, my clan mates that play DK love the class.

    I suggest go DK and enjoy before NC nerfs them.

  3. 1. None of those 112 DKs are new players, just old players with great gear leveling up new toons.

    2. If you don't speak up, they'll never be able to know how to improve the game.

    3. Investing in the game requires a notion of an equitable trade and return. Those scam boxes that we get in promotions is not fair or equitable. I've known people who spend thousands of dollars on events who come away with mostly crap items. Nothing that really helps them get equipment or level quickly. Or enjoy the game.

    4. Yes, they are trying, but it's a case of too little. Like I said, a level 4 Opal works great, if we're talking about years ago. But now you really need so much more than that to hunt. Doubt me? Go put on Blessed Exalted equipment and a Level 4 Opal with Level 3 the rest of the jewels and see how long you last at 105-110 even in the 105 Group instance.  The fact is the pack that they charged everyone $50 for should have been something that people could work toward in this event. Not just a scrap here or a crumb there that still leaves you unable to do anything.

    5. Please don't take anything that I'm saying personal. I'm venting about the stage of the game as much as anything else. I'm not the only one who thinks it should be better than it is. I might be the only one that speaks up, but those complaints are out there. And they are legion.

    The problem is that if the rates go up, there will be many more poorly equipped people at levels of 115 or more and in that band it is very difficult to kill in mobs, many people would get frustrated and leave the game.

    On servers like those in Korea at levels of 110 they are better equipped than in these at 115 because they have resources to obtain items at reasonable prices through events

    but it's not a bad idea ......... but I prefer to have more resources to equip myself better and less to level up quickly is my opinion

    I understand your point, and it's a good one, but that to me is a second problem. The first is being able to XP faster. But the problem you refer to has more to do with the fact that the game is structured so that new players and poor players really can't do anything to better equip themselves in game. Once upon a time you could hunt, save, and afford enough to get good equipment. Now, most people when they reach 107 still won't earn the "badillions" that it would take to make a limited weapon, let alone everything else that you need to be viable.  That really should not happen, if NCSoft really cares about growing their player base.

    I think, maybe, they need to do much more to solve both the XP issue and the adena/equipment issue. Maybe with reworked quests that actually give better rewards to get players from 105-110 and 110-115 in a reasonable amount of time.

    The little events that they do really don't help that much. Take the current event where the top prize is only a level 4 Opal. Sorry, but that would have come in handy 3-5 years ago.  After hunting 80,000 or more mobs and burning through all of your pots and shots in the process, the prize really should be something more than a jewel that gives you only 30 more attribute damage.  People were getting Stage 5 from those boxes when they were available without even using a hundredth of that in supplies or time. And they could sell the Stage 5 for good profit. That won't happen with the Opal level 4. It's probably bound and not tradeable for all I know.

  5. I think it's funny that the Demon Sword wielder is supposed to hunt other people, but more often than not ends up being the one that's running.

    They need to rework the entire function of the Demon Swords. It should be something that players have to build towards. Like maybe if a person has over 100 PKs, he or she is then eligible to pick up the sword(s) when they drop. No one with less than that can get the swords, even if they kill the Demon Sword wielder. 

    Also, the swords only drop when someone has been PKed. And the chance to drop is less than 5%. They do not drop from mobs, or from the Demon Sword Tooth Fairy. You have to kill someone first, and then they MIGHT drop. If no one gets killed, then they don't drop. We could potentially go days without the swords dropping.

    But we would also see an increase in the number of people getting PKed. This is a good thing. Mobs shouldn't be the only thing that people build their characters or join clans to defeat. It's not forced PVP, but it would increase PVP, even if it's only in self-defense. Now isn't that the whole point of the Demon Swords?

    Oh, and return the PK system to the old ways where reds drop on death. That way if a major chaotic player gets and keeps the demon swords it will help them pay for the items that they loss -- instead of lining the pockets of the same rich players with more adena than the rest of the players will ever see.

    The same luck among us Fortune seekers and Maestro

    That is incorrect. Fortune Seekers get Great Luck skill passive that increases their LUC stat +3. Maestro do not get this skill.

    what's a lil corruption here and there right ?

    Rumor has it that the only reason why there is an official Restoration Policy now is because some elite players were getting special treatment and having items that they broke during enchant restored by GMs without anyone else knowing. Favoritism is Corruption's handmaiden.

    I'm about ready to take another break... AGAIN. I'm a Feoh Archmage and need 21% for 108. After doing solo, Imperial Tomb, Storm Isle and Primeval I have nothing to do! All the lower level farming spots fill very quickly!! There are so many areas that are going to waste... USE IT! This is crazy!!

    You can do dailies, Atelia Outlet Etis van Etina (solo), and before the nerf IOS, but after that, FOM, Lizards or Sel Mahum are the only places you can probably AFK overnight (although you might get PKed) for .000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001% XP. It's really bad. I'm 109 and it feels like I've been stuck at 73% all week since update.

  9. LUC definitely helps enchant success, but it's hard to pin down exactly to what extent. Luck is so random in this game. Most of the guys who have lots of success enchanting have more than 100 LUC stat.  But these guys also enchant way more stuff that fails that you never hear about. Even they forget about. Everyone too busy noticing the one success, but ignoring the 50-100 fails.

    So on the L2 Discord it was mentioned that the average monster element defense was around 1400 (1369 for <110 mobs).  

    WTF?/?/?  Are we supposed to run Brilliant Rose 24/7?  How was this even remotely considered acceptable for our servers?  

    Even with Brilliant Rose I'm only at 1200. This can only mean that there is going to be an event with a new item somewhere down the road that helps players bridge the gap.

  11. Be careful. There are some title L2 fonts that are in-game for special reasons. Everyone else who uses an outside program to generate a custom title of any kind is doing it in violation of the EULA. Sure, they get away with it, just like people who have 3rd party macros for log-in and auto-buy/sell shops got away with it. But if the GMs ever decide to drop hammer, don't expect leniency on grounds that everyone else was doing it.

    @Juji @Hime

    Keep stronghold the same, we need to have some way to farm adena in game since its nerfed everywhere else.  

    chronos:
    New update does not match the level of server.  we have 3 people 116,  most the server is 110 111 112  and cant xp in new zones.  so the lvl gap is increasing.  PLEASE implement A Leveling WALL  AT  117 or something.... otherwise no support will play this game. 

     ( in the top 50 ranked in xp for mains, only 3 classes are support, 2 tanks and 1 iss..... )

    Funny you should mention IOS. I wonder where the people are now who complained about the adena drop rate being too high a few months ago? Are they enjoying it more now that they have finally reached 107 and go there only to find the drop amount horrifically low -- and possibly getting even lower with this update? I wonder. :D

  13. I think it speaks volumes to have 90% of the server below 110, when it only takes 2-3 days to get to 105. What is happening between 105 and 110 that is adversely affecting most of your gaming community? Even with all the server boosts and Dragon Weapons in the world, here we are with players unable to XP quickly or efficiently. Why is that?

    Whatever you decide, don't just band-aid the symptoms. Fix the root problem.

    If you don't, when you roll out the update for 120+ content, you're going to face the same angry faces. Well, that's if anyone is still here other than the uber-geared elites that spend their trust funds to play this game.
