We need to do a stupid tournament, where the winner gets a novelty guild position/title. Maybe a hat.

PS; Arena fights are rad, do it. Anyone can do it. Don't do it with Chen or HyC. (Except do they're bad)

My 35 win streak. :negative:

Blocking is important but the reason you won was because I was expecting the same old throw stick hit with stick shaolin then suddenly, oh god why is he spinning kick across the map, dear lord he's immune to grabs 90% of the time I have never seen any of these moves Shaolin. And then you won.

At least we figured out accelerated makes you immune to some cc.

This is actually listed in one of the loading screen tips. At least to the effect that it makes you immune to "all negative speed effects". Which I guess may include roots and grabs? It's not terribly specific.

If you want to level quickly at this point, run (solo is fine) Attack by Night, normal or swordsman. With double XP, the first normal run will take you from 25 to nearly 28, then a few more runs and you're 34. After 34 it's probably not worth it.

I was able to solo swordsman in 8 minutes, so 25-34 was about 40 minutes with double XP. Which nicely puts the way from 1 to 34 at under 2 hours.

With that said, you shouldn't have ran out of quests at 25. Check your available quests list.

I lost the main quest for a little while, there are parts where it doesn't prompt you all that well to talk to the next guy, who is standing by the person you just turned it in at.

As Liberatore said, just check the available quest list by pressing N and going to the tab on the right. I think the main quests are orange.

Guild feasts now cost 25 gold each.

If you would like more feasts, we need more gold.

Do 3 metal gear kidnappings and 3 hijacks for guild funds.

The next upgrade costs 1000 gold, so enjoy.

Is there anything in particular we should do to get hijacking groups besides ask in guild chat? The kidnappings are pretty straight forward (at least the ones I got last night) but I wasn't sure if there was an easy way to get hijack groups.

Click on "available quest" on your quest logs. The main story line should take you to closer to 30 and at 37 there are still quests available to me. Check if you did not miss any of the mobility skill quests like "walk on water" and "eagle fall" from the East Lady, since those are not part of the main quest chain.

The bounty board in Harmony Piedmont also give you 15 easy quests a day, rewarding you with hero orders you can exchange for better weapons.

Pretty much that. We tend to get them pretty fast. Also wait for event times are done when people are doing nothing. Like after guild events is fine. Or if you are around early, the noon bamboo.

I don't usually have time to play until around midnight eastern, so I'm not around until well after guild events are done during the week. I'll just make sure I get my kidnaps done each day to contribute and see if anybody else needs Hijacks when I get mine.

Okay so I made a dumb fuckup, and I'm going to share how dumb I am so no one else does what I did.

After seeing some of the weird poo poo you could put in names (like ★), I hopped around to other servers and made a bunch of characters to test out what can and can not be used in valid names. After loving around with this for a while, I went back to Claymore to make my shaolin alt I'd been looking forward to trying. Apparently I hit the limit of max characters you can have on an account. I think it's 8, but I'll have to check. So I don't get to make an alt for a week while I wait for these garbage test characters to delete.

I contacted support who promptly told me to get hosed. :downs:

Don't be as dumb as I am!

Even plain rear end white hijacks still give a ton of xp and guild funds so it's always worth doing. There seems to be plenty of people around at all hours so just ask around when you're on and do some for fun and profit.

It isn't and is kinda poo poo but your kind of poo poo.

At every hour on the half hour static npcs spawn and can drop crafting stuff. This includes star dust metal or what not. It is heavily camped and zhoudynasty has their hands on a lot of it, but you can set wind scrolls so you can teleport back and forth and get them.

Your best bet would be to do the treasure hunt and do the western room. It takes 1 person but we can send 3 or 5 for saftey.

A bunch of wisps spawn in a small platform. Static ones and ones that chase players. They hurt a lot if they hit you but I think the ones that chase players don't actually move ontop of you. Fireballs also come from the ceiling and hit the center.

If you survive long enough, the 4 statues in the room can be broken by 1 or 2 basic attacks each. At the end of it, it spawns about 40 or 50 chests that you can loot and these may have the metal in them.

The fires don't go away so a lot of people walk into them and die. But we can have a small group do this at the start while the main group goes east to do the harder stuff.

We will be doing one of these friday, saturday, and sunday.

I think the biggest problem is giving me right now, is the whole blue mats for crafting gear, lately all I can do is craft potion. Which is useless since I'm a shaolin. But I've done countless hero mode dungeons, and not a single lvl 40 blue mat for weapon has been dropped. I hope they change that soon!
