looking to return

[neptuneshaun]

I know people do this sort of thing a lot but with having some free time i would love to get back into the game, there are just one or two things that i wanted to ask upon my return.

I know im not massivly far into the game, 39 sin and 38 warr. I was wondering if things like smash sets were any cheaper or easier to come by or if people would be willing to say the cave they drop from so i have a hunting ground for me to go into??
Have there also been things like weapons etc removed from subs or boss's for weapons like the level 36 weps upwards?? Aso things like boundless rings, freenbeads etc for the mod high level content. I dont really do alot of bossing even when i played full time i didnt, so for me knowing i will get that chance will push me towards certain areas to enjoy the game again.

Why would stuff like this be removed from drops?
36+ weapons have been added to normal monsters + subs, I really do not understand why you would want them to be removed

Leveling has been made easier and is x3 now (not sure if it was like this before you quit) getting 43+ is quite easy.

Smash Rings are still quite expensive (8mill ish) but can be obtained from mobs: Numa mobs, Sub bosses such as: Khazard/KS/Frozen Subs and higher end bosses drop smash rings often too

Have there also been things like weapons etc removed from subs or boss's for weapons like the level 36 weps upwards??


Not that im aware of

As things like boundless rings, freenbeads etc for the mod high level content.

Green beads/ Power Rings/ Knight bracelets are pretty much junk now, they are easily obtainable. Boundless rings/OSRs are still highly sort after, but are reasonable prices

I dont really do alot of bossing even when i played full time i didnt, so for me knowing i will get that chance will push me towards certain areas to enjoy the game again.

See answers in red.

Welcome back.

 

[neptuneshaun]

Thank you Xx69xX also im sorry ididnt proof read what i put. I meant are the liks of the 36 weps etc in normal drop files. what i meant to put was are the 36 weps now removed from just sub boss's and placed into normal mobs within certain caves. Gives more insentive to hunt areas and just gives me the reason to come back other than grinding areas for levels an money to buy items rather than the possibility to find them.

 

[Razarus]

36 weaps are still pretty rare and do not seem to drop from normal mobs very often if at all. they are however undesirable and very cheap on the TM.

If you hunt normal mobs and sub bosses you will find some decent stuff after a nice long grind.
King Scorp can drop smashrings along with gems/rings etc to make you some cash to just buy one if you don't get lucky.

skill books are the worse problem, the crafting thing never materialised.

Books need to be spread around more so players like yourself have a chance at one, as things stand they sell for ridicules prices and just make the rich richer (larger guilds).
They need to be put in subs and FT etc. On euromir you could get a deva book from a GK, it was removed on here which was stupid, not that deva is hard to get now, but that was an example.

Rough prices -

Protection field 8 m
Rage 40m
Lionroar 8m

swiftfeet 10m
shadowstep 35m

Smashring 8m
osr 5m boundless 7m
baekta 5m 8trig 4m
hero necklace 2.5m
holyDC 8m

Eviltongs, big centipede, turtle subs and king scorpion drop smash rings.

 

[gsxrcarl]

if the crafting of books etc is looking like a time consuming thing to do to me a quicker way would be put books etc in the level cave/area
to their level ,saying that nobody would want to see them drop all the time the fun is hunting for them .
I have been in turtles two pots if you lucky it don't give anyone any incentive to go there ,I know bh is in the process of sorting this out
along with a never ending list of other stuff .

Books become cheaper once your "big guilds" all have them. Items are only worth what people are willing to pay for them.

 

[EvilAltCode]

I got a copy of LionRoar from a WedgeMoth in ZT a couple of weeks ago. It was the first one I harvested in ZT as well! I know it's on the lower end of the rarer books, but still shows that some decent books are available from the trash mobs.

 

[Razarus]

I still agree that books aren't available for all types of players and that is a bad thing.

Some people enjoy playing casually without all the drama (for some reason). They are unlikely to ever get their hands on a FF book for example..

you just described why its broken, they shouldnt be exclusive to big guilds, lone players should be in with a shout too, who get an even chance at subs and FT, GK etc..
Btw im only referring to skill books, everything else i dont have a prob with bosses dropping.

Ff drops off 2 low level mobs that I know of. Recall braces drop off pb nodes. lr can be harvested from wedge moths.

End game skills shouldn't be easily available

 

[SPL1FF]

Why don't they set these 'end game' books at 'end game' levels then?

Not that I'm really complaining as I had everything up to Rage at 44. But I still think that if all skills were obtainable the server would have kept a considerable amount of players.

like curse, a lvl 40 spell, PC lvl 43 not end game **** is it,The "new" spells are sposed be that!

 

[Kalamonde]

these new skills still are not ingame... they never came on Acem2 and aint coming on here either by the look of it.

pretty sure the mass soul fire ball would have been useful along time ago for taos, i could go on a long list and rant about things with skills but i wont! ill keep it short(or try!)... skill wise the server is ****ing BORING unless you play a archer or sin with skills that are different.... new skills for war,wiz and tao are in the files but hidden away for teaser trailers that appear to show content that will come in about seven thousand patches, maybe one day in the patch v2.0 they will drop? but yer no new exciting skills....yet.


43 weapons are the new 30/36 weapons.... the blackdragon weapons seem alot more rare.... you decide if its good or bad. :P

i have seen the skills that can be added and the crappy MP booster and energy shield are CRAP compared to what can be added! of all the spells they could have added they add the mir3 copy paste.... same thing with caves(or the drops).

but yer tis fun to come back and play... just dont expect much like back at launch, youll have more fun then. (us mir addicts need somthing to play and bitch about! guess this servers the best for now even if we do rant and cry about it....****ing dev team! GAWD!)

/Pan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.....!!!!! mention the ****in exclamation marks again!!!

/Pan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.....!!!!! mention the ****in exclamation marks again!!!

In our defense to this (because the above about skills is some what true)... The dev team have a higher focus on "stability" and "longevity" of the server, although there are a bunch of skills already coded into the files, just dumping them into the server would cause another shift in balance, specially because most of the skills that exist were adding pre sin/archer. We also try to take bug fixing as a matter of high priority before introducing newer features that could also introduce more bugs (managing the workload for us).

Will these skills ever be available on Chronicles? Not all of them, but in short, yes, some will be introduced and announced shortly.

wasnt ment to be an attack..... just a moannnnnnn and a cryyyyy

 

[HarryH]

If there's any frustration Samuel, it's because time and time again we have been told that certain spells and items are in the drop files. Then a few months down the line a GM posts somewhere in an unrelated thread that actually, they are not. It's very difficult to aim towards a new spell to complete your character when you actually know deep down it isn't going to drop!
