Leave your toon online overnight. You'll have more letters than you care to have.

Yesterday, we launched the Tales Untold update. With the update, there were many changes to current systems and the addition of new systems.
We have been reading through feedback already shared and we would like to invite all to share their thoughts constructively on the update especially on these features:
- Hunting Zones and Raid Bosses
- Augment System
- Item Changes
- Skill Changes
- Other Changes
Please let us know how your experience has been, what you like, what you don’t like, and you feel could be improved.
Thank you!
I'll keep it simple:
1. Vastly increase XP and mobs on all hunting zones < 113
2. Best aspect of update...although removing Ether as recipe ingredient would be nice.
3. Give archers back their special arrows. You made mobs harder to kill. New skill, augments for armor and a tiny boost for sigil doesn't cover the DOT that we used to get from Additional Arrow or Patk Arrow on current mobs.
4. Meh. Yes, learned new Yul skill, but because of other stealth changes, it doesn't feel like my character got better. Not 110 on main, so definitely not 110 on dual. Won't know about those additional skills for another few months at this rate..
5. I'm trying to think of a change that I like. Can I get back to you?

Thanks. Hunted for 2 days now but no Artifact Scrolls dropped. The other scrolls, yes, and more letters that I don't even care about, but no Arti scrolls. Will keep trying.
My expectation was that you'd be able to go to a hunting ground and see mobs everywhere. Enough for everyone to hunt. But it looks like I'll have to dust off my red and kill people tonight. The ones who don't look like they can clear all mobs in a reasonable amount of time will be the first to get PKed. I'm betting I won't be the only one. Blood will flood the land.
Please stop giving us this same crap event after event after event. It's not a reward when the market is so saturated that these items have no value.

It's really only worth doing when the server settings are boosted. It's pointless to do it now, unless your goal is to watch your Vitality bar to go from full to empty in a minute or less.
Level 109 and the only places to hunt have very mobs, but LOTS of people. I thought this update was going to give us more mobs? wth
Where do I find these scrolls?
Dragon Weapons are ugly, too. Wish we could modify those. If concerned about players not being able to tell difference, give modified weapons a special glow that no other weapon gets. But give us weapon modify back.
I miss my special arrows already.
I know top yuls probably don't need them, but less geared archers like me do. Cheapest way to boost hunting damage after shots. Plus I have bad enchant luck, so I always have R crystals.

blatantly against the spirit of the game. buts its ok. play on easy if you like.
When they eliminate all pets except those for summoners, we'll all know why.
What about the bows?

The GMs are even changing the PK system for snowflakes to leave town.
I think his main point is that if he can't survive long enough to farm there because of PK, what good is it having bonus anything?
What he misses, though, is true "cause and effect."
Cause: They lowered adena drop amount of IOS. This makes it almost pointless for most high levels to hunt there.
Effect: High levels now go to PI because it is boosted and there is opportunity to make more here because of boosted drops via farming.
Irony: Some lower level, under-geared players complained about high adena drop amount at IOS, seeking to hurt those higher levels' pockets. Now those higher levels are returning the favor by hogging all of PI and killing off lessers. If IOS still had great drop amount, they wouldn't do that. They wouldn't need to. Lesson to all -- be careful what you cry about, because the tissue NCSoft gives you just might cut off your nose, not just wipe away tears. If no complaints, everyone gets paid. Instead we get this. Enjoy bed they made.
Count me for a few boxes. I probably won't get more than honey beer drops with my luck.
PVP is the hallmark of this game. But it is also the worst thing about this game. In the real world even a 5 year old with a rock and decent aim can hurt the President of the United States, the most powerful man in the world. But in L2 you have to be pretty close to top dogs in equipment and levels to tickle them, let alone be considered an actual threat. If you want PVP to improve, and if you want more and more people to want to PVP, you have to change the mechanics.
If I'm not mistaken any of the town blacksmiths. The option is under the Augmentation menu.
1. Easy until you get to higher Exalted quest where you have to kill 80,000 mobs. It's not hard, just boring as hell. You log in, search forever for a good hunting spot, set macro, go AFK, try not to get upset when you come back to find toons dead, killed by either Demon Swords or PKers, rez party, restart macros -- rinse and repeat until next day.
2. You'll do instance (Abandon Mine, Storm Isle, etc.) and daily, which I'm sure you already know. Hellbound regions like Phantasmal, Beleth Circle, etc., unless you have top gear. Then you can go to Ivory Tower Crater, possibly even Alligator Island.
3. There's only one way to make billions of adena fast and that's to sell promotion items to other players during "events." The only proven place where you could hunt for billions of adena once you reach level 107 was recently "corrected" to much lower drop amounts.
If you're talking about what I think you're talking about, Soul Crystals are used to make High and Top Grade spirit stones, Brooch spirit stones and Circlet spirit stones. You need hundreds to make the High grade spirit stone and thousands for the others. Price is whatever you can negotiate on the market although I think the NPC price is between 10-20K each, or something like that.

It's May. Close enough.

Make sure that you are logged in when they ding 105. If not, you lose out on clan quest.
10 hours ago, Slycutter said:I now have over 1200 of them.
I have over 2200 of those anniversary coins at the moment. At this point they should scrap the event and roll back server settings to max boosted levels. Nothing to see or do but grind.
It's now Monday, hunting in different spot ALL day where they are supposed to drop, but still no box drops. Why do we have to wait until Wednesday? Are they going to extend the event? If not, bring servers down now for emergency maintenance.
This anniversary is turning into Murphy's Law: Anything that can go wrong is going wrong.
I just went all weekend hunting in appropriate areas, including staying logged in overnight, but didn't get a single box drop. What gives? I get low drop chance is normal, but this is beyond ridiculous. Come on, guys, you can do better than this.
lets get real with Adena stats and what a joke it is.

It really is criminal how they shut off adena spigot and steer everyone to L2-RMT store in order to raise enough adena to adequately play this game. They really should cut out the middle step and directly sell weekly adena packets of various denominations. No more leaving your computer on all night for scraps. "Save energy, buy adena from NCSoft" could be their marketing slogan.
