Pro.

How is everyone liking their Musas and Maewhas? Still going strong, or are you all starting to drift back to your mains now?

I made a berserker last night and it's pretty loving fun. I'm not completely sold on using my last slot for a fourth melee character (already have the zerk, a sorc, and tamer), instead of something like a wizard. Everyone was creaming themselves over samurai early on, but at first glance they don't look that unique. Am I missing something or are you all just insane kreeaboos?

Decided to loop a single horse instead of a wagon for the first time. Tested the loop, went to bed. Woke up still sitting on my horse but with my horse just standing around, my waypoints gone and just one carrot eaten. Not dead or anything. :confused:

The Musas heal is pretty good and their moves and mobility are really nice.

Their 200% black rage ability pretty much is their aoe. The rest of their skills don't seem nearly as good for aoe.

Blocking isn't as nice as on a warrior. Can't move but you got quick dashes. Some times it takes awhile to pull the block up. And if you put a single point in the block attack skill, you block 1 attack then drop your block to do a counter attack. Hits hard but some times I would rather just block.

Bow skills don't seem that good at all.

I got him to about 28 and I went back to my warrior. I didn't get to test out their dragon blade.

The problem is that everything I've played has been fun so far heh. Wiz to 50, Valk and Sorc to 40, working on Musa just now. I'm so torn.

We've got one berserker in SFD, and he seems satisfied with the class even post 50. You will want to focus on certain skills like one that lets you spin around indefinitely, and your grabs.

Cool, good to know.

By request, here is a screenshot of the actual spot you need to cast to hit the heidel eastern gateway fishing hotspot. It's loving microscopic, I haven't been able to hit it from anywhere except this exact spot. My bobber is the one center screen: http://i.imgur.com/BCXm6h3.png

Someone mentioned a hotspot near olvia as well, so since heidel and olvia are the two extremes of my explored world so far, I'm going to try traveling back and forth between those two for distance bonuses at the traders(pro-tip for afk work fishers: park your wagon behind you and dump fish into it so you can fill your bags twice before needing to travel and sell. Bargaining is also worthwhile once you're doing all of this). Will report back how it goes.

Don't share with goontang, reciprocate, etc

I will say that I am greatly disappointed that crafting is a waste of time. You make drops in a bucket compared to the time, effort, and profit from afk fishing. I'm a mid professional in gathering and processing, and there just isn't anything to make and sell. Current endgame and high level stuff depends on gear that only drops from monsters.

There appears to be no endgame for crafters.

It's fairly sad to see people discovering stuff repeated ad nauseum all over the place for more than a year. Crafting endgame is cooking and alchemy, if you are curious in crafting something that sells.

I'm loving my plum and will shelf my zerker for her because it is a much more dynamic class that opens up a whole slew of different combos you can do at any one time, and no one move is "this is the move you spam endlessly". The maneuverability is insane and it's like playing a whole another game with how fast I move from pack to pack.

Zerker is basically just, use frenzied destroyer, stomp, beastly windslash, and then spin. That's the depth of your mob grinding ability and that's all it's ever going to be. Maybe I'll switch back when handcannon comes out.

Yeah I stuck with my sorc because they both seemed to be flimsy melee. If I devote time to an alt or change mains, it will probably be to play a character needed for node wars like zerk or valk or I guess ranger?

Wizard/Witch should be plenty important too, much moreso than valk at the very least.

Life is loving hard today

Both of my t6's have Drift and Sprint now, level 20. Stallion would sell for 14mil, mare for 17mil.

Just have to remind myself that it's an investment and once I have a stable full of the right tier I'll be making mad bank.

There are faster ways to make money, blue veggies I think. Horses are for lording over others. I don't think the current prices are worth the time investment at all. I just need a white t7 with Sprint, drift, and instant accel and I'll be king of horse races when that's released.

Maehwa is pretty easy to level so far and poo poo pretty much dies from one red moon anyways so I really cant judge her higher level play in the twenties.

Seriously this is the maewha leveling flow chart in the early 20s:

Do you have like 10 mobs following you? No? Go get 10 mobs following you.

Do you have the crit buff from blind strike on you? No? Use blind strike on a mob to get the buff.

Use Red Moon. Are any mobs alive? Yes? Use behead. No? Go to top.

This is the same with the tamer and whatever that one crazy AE attack (roaring I think) followed by jolt wave. Cool thing I read about Tamer is that you can gather even more mobs than other classes because of your pet.

e: I like maewha so far, but so far I feel like the tamer is a bit better early on (in the 20s, haven't leveled the maewha far yet). They actually seem to have pretty similar playstyles, although my tamer feels a bit more mobile/acrobatic.

Has anyone tried enhancing a Kalis weapon to blue quality? Between the way their base AP scales (naturally higher and stays higher as you go up in upgrade tiers), and the fact that we think the hidden stats are higher on weapons with fewer of them, it seems like a really strong alternative to Yuria. Replace the bonus pve-only human damage with more AP and (theoretically) more accuracy, plus the side perk of not losing accuracy in the rain.

That's a pretty in depth guide to the basics of farming in the game. I've heard and not done sunflower farming, but market prices of trade items depends on how many have been sold recently so sometimes having a crop that isn't the "big" one can be better for you in the long run.

That's not even all that snarky compared to first few versions of that reply which I did revise before posting, since I do put conscious effort to tow the party line and keep my teen spirit as low as I can. It's mostly just confusion as to why he (and/or others) did abstain from asking people who played on Korea, like Lewtt, or the handful of people in the thread who have played elsewhere and/or read information from the others' experiences playing the game elsewhere. Presuming he didn't do it just because you like it, which would make me then surprised of the general nature of your complaint then, if he's already enjoyed your time as such as well as gotten handful of skills to a respectable level, those that have more uses than the ones he's mentioned.

Kalis should be better than Yuria for any class where accuracy matters to a noticeable extent, but get to +15 or wherever your patience runs dry, and then get it to gold (or blue if money or something else is a concern).
