Well that was a good trip to the night vendor. 1 kutum offhand for my dark knight, 1 giath helmet (was missing that last boss piece) and a couple sharps.

I can't remotely enhance it all of course but that's more of a long term project.

This game seems to have a lot of silly hacks to get things working, like gamepad support that emulates the mouse so that if you play the game in a window, the OS mouse pointer flies around wildly.

That makes it worse, I never uninstalled, if the client is 28gb why is it trying to download 40gb 1gb at a time?


Huh, poked around and found a help thread that said to delete the version file and that brough the download to 28gb.

This always used to happen if you've been away long enough, somehow you end up with a download larger than the install size. Apparently they still haven't figured out how to do differential patching correctly.

Apparently if you buy on Steam, you don't get to do any account management from the website, so you get to miss out on even more P2W options/promotions (lol). Well I guess you also miss out on the ability to upgrade to a higher tier account package.

Steam accounts can't gift full game passes to others, which can give you stuff that isn't normally obtainable from the pearl shop, namely polar bears and hedgehog pets which are both really good if you give enough of a poo poo. Also if you like the game it has a ton of afk stuff you can do to make money and you wouldn't want all your steam friends seeing a huge number of hours in koreagame.exe now would you? :cop:

A non-SA member of the guild stole all the silver in the guild bank and ran off.

Except that you can't just take out the silver. You have to spend it on guild related stuff that goes into your inventory. So he bought a whole inventory full of guild junk

Every week the guild gets twice as much silver as it can use so the rest was just piling up anyway.

So imagine someone robbing the bank of a million dollars worth of coupons for three legged chairs at IKEA. And then sticking around discord trying to do the puppet master routine afterwards like "Look at all these chairs mmmhmm. Bet you wish you had some"

Offensively simplified guide to guild contracts.



When you do stuff your guild activity goes up. It goes up mostly by helping with guild quests (which gives the guild xp to spend on guild talents and some silver)

When your guild activity reaches 10.000 an officer will double your daily payout up to about 5 million depending on how much silver we have and how many members are active. Your contracted can be upgraded once per day.

Does everyone need to be on the same server or something for guilds? I'm on the newbie growth server, which seems less crowded than the regular servers and gives you extra XP and stuff.

You can move around between servers as you like. Guild quests are most often done on Serendia 4 though.

I was thinking of island exploration as a guild event.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6rfT2Gmnm94



The idea being to take out the guild boat and move people between the Mediah to the Epheria islands. To Discover them and poke the node managers

In total it should take around 2 hours and lead to enough knowledge to increase your energy cap by about 31 points

The reason I left out the Valencia islands is that those are particularly hellish to navigate and often require climbing cliffs and taking obscure routes to navigate the island itself. It would probably add another hour and a half to the trip as a whole.

Bringing 100 energy would help because some islands are a lot easier to discover by just giving the node manager some energy.


There are no requirements level or gear wise to join this expedition. Keep in mind that if you have to leave in a hurry in the middle and don't have time for us to sail you back to land then your character might have to swim back home when you return later. If this happen we'll try to send a fishing boat to pick your character up when you get back.

Yes I don't know what 45s they expected to do these things. Maybe the level suggestions are from back when 1-49 took months and so a 45 player would be well geared instead of +0 gear and a +7 weapon.

Woah, how do I social engineer my way into a guild for free chairs? Is there even a way for this guy to convert that guild stuff. It's tough to look past all the :koreagame: bullshit but so far its okay. Some ninja guy initiated pvp on me then realized I had no gear or skill. There's such a wide margin of gear that he said I was doing 1hp a hit while I spammed different skills.

So everyone I ever knew and loved has quit like 18 months ago, but I started again with Mystic. Games still cool, but all my poo poo is on EU. Is anything actually happening in the goon guild, besides drama, which is cool, but not cool enough for a complete reboot? Also running around islands, getting nodes and stuff.
I don't give a poo poo about PvP or node wars or gear, I'll probably just try to become the worlds first guru hunting/farming combo or something.

Then you will be glad to know that the hunting rifles now last way longer and you can butcher animals while holding it.


The guild is pretty cool in my opinion. If it's worth starting over for depends on how much you spent on EU I guess and how far you came. Getting to 56 takes like a day now and the game has tons of welfare stuff and gear. Mediah has a full pri set you get from quests/drops including accessories and weapons.

Ineptitude plays on EU, and the "drama" was nothing interesting.

The drama was someone got butthurt over something and/or was just an rear end in a top hat and spent the guild money and kicked a bunch of people who were offline for 3 months.

Weve already refilled the roster and that money will be back in like 2 months.

Literally nothing was lost.
