Kaddish posted:You'll get two green chests full of x10 books per chest. You will want to look at the TWO engravings for each class and choose ONE engraving for the class of your choice, probably the one you're playing. These two engravings will be wildly different for your class and greatly change or enhance how your class plays. After you open the chests and you have x20 book, read the engraving you chose. You will do this 20 times, once for each book. Then, go to the engraving screen, I forgot where it is, and click on the class engraving tab. You will see that you have unclocked 3 pips for the engraving you chose. You can then slot this into the two bottom left slots on your character screen, giving you 6 pips and unlocking level 1 of the engraving. Note sure if this is already known, but you can use entire stacks of items at once. No idea what the mkb command is since I've been on controller again lately

Welp, I gave this game like 9 hours to try and blow me away with something... anything and it never did. If your game demands you to beat its gigantic meandering campaign to get to the actual meat of the game then it's a bad game. I tried really hard to care about the story to get myself invested enough to stick with the campaign but after the 80th quest of "talk to everyone in camp then come back to me" and then seeing the next quest is on the opposite end of the drat map, I groaned and alt f4ed. It's very pretty, combat is flashy, but it's really too much of a generic by the numbers MMORPG for my tastes. Not an ARPG indeed, should've did my research more before jumping on the Founder's Pack train... at least it was only $15.

VanillaGorilla posted:The first awakening skill is basically "teleport to Trixion and the lady gives you the skill", so you didn't miss much. Yeah the second awakening skill quest is pretty tedious. It’s 3-4 hours of traveling around talking to people with literally one or two interesting fights or other activities. But since the wardancer second ability is so much better than the first one that I buckled down and did it as soon as I finished the elf continent and unlocked it.

God I fucking love Diablo 3 gold, it even paid for this shitty title

The amount of systems and things to know being thrown at me during the course of the game really has me  . I'm honestly thinking I'm getting to the age now where I'm not capable of playing games like this anymore.Like, I get there are guides and videos out there that tidy a lot of this stuff up. But it seems like every 5 seconds I have to tab out and scrub through one of 40 tabs of videos to find a cryptic piece of information about how 5 different currencies and drops work together and what means I have to take to prepare to even go about getting said currency. Pressing buttons in order to make a pile of monsters explode, that's my poo poo. Sailing around the world looking for adventure, that's baller. Calculating how many red balls I have and how many blue balls I need to add to get a higher percentage chance so I don't break the thing I'm upgrading, that's painful. I wonder how long the honeymoon period in the west this game is going to enjoy because I don't really see the majority of people putting up with poo poo like that in the long term. TLDR: I'm a dumb American who can't understand complex systems but I like blowing poo poo up.

I appreciate the help trying to explain it, but the whole book/stone system is going over my head so hard right now. I guess I shouldn't have spent them, then? Only one I have unlocked right now is Drops of ether which gives me Power node point +3 but I don't know what that is or does. I hope this does get better! I've been trying to unlock Spirit absorbtion since it sounds like it'll be good. But did I understand correctly that even when I unlock it, I can't use it until I have a stone or an item which has the proper nodes (don't have 5 in any stone yet) unlocked and has that particular trait?  Can't use my class bonuses yet, only got 4/20 on Combat readiness. Also count me in the crew of gamers nearing 40 who are worried on lagging behind with mechanics and stuff on harder encounters. I hope I can do something without dragging everyone down too hard.

All the complex systems get a lot less concerning when you just stop caring about min-maxing. If you don't have the time to research everything you probably don't have the time to put into the game and play at the level where you messing up and losing out on that 3% dmg matters.

You're only level 34, I don't think you even unlock the two engraving equip slots until later. Keep all the books in your inventory and ignore the system until you get to level 50 and arrive in Vern.

If you're playing a support then the engraving stuff often really does matter. The paladin, for example, has a very clear "this makes you do more damage when soloing" engraving (and it's very noticable) and a "use this one if you're playing support to heal your buddies" engraving.

All the systems are pretty overwhelming but I've played enough of these to know that full optimization isn't a huge deal until the actual end game and there aren't many choices I can make now at ilvl 340 that will gently caress me over at 1300. I've just been doing the Fun poo poo (guardians/chaos rifts with some sailing afterwards) and stashing all the extra currencies and loot boxes for when I'm 100 more hours in and actually aware of what they do through eventual osmosis. Still no idea what I'm doing with strongholds but I'm assuming that as long as I'm always researching something it'll work eventually.

I’m trying to play the simple and probably incorrect “just fuckin smash mobs and don’t touch a goddamn systems thing aside from Combat Skill leveling until 50” approach. Obviously there are things like Strongholds that I’ll participate in but my inventory has chests and coins and seeds and feathers and all this poo poo that I don’t even want to think about until I get to 50 and decide I have time to read about what to use when and where. I might miss out on some important stuff but I am having a good time juggling my yellow and green skills and punching things to make them blow up.

Definitely has a ton of systems that I'll probably never really get into or figure out before I move on. I'm okay with all of this. I play games that I can enjoy solo, and when they aren't fun anymore, just move on. Luckily for me, this game is free, and I'm actually playing it that way.

I know this is a bad question that has likely been asked before but after reading through a dozen pages I didn't see it. My friend wants me to play this with them and I'm likely to stick around either way, so what is the West NA server goons are playing on? Or maybe one of them if it's multiple? Thanks!

One thing that constantly annoys me in the game is how NPC's keep interrupting your boss fight and stealing the glory. Instead of watching some anime fight between two NPC's, why not let me do something? Does this ever get better or is this gonna happen throughout the game? And yeah, just finished up with Blackrose basement, that was very doable solo hard.

Just run some of the content and you’ll get them as drops. You should be able to do the 300 content without them. Alternative you could trade them from your main.

Hi friends! I'm downloading this game now. I was wondering which Martial Arts class I should play as. I usually play monks in games if I can. Diablo 3, Vanguard Saga of Heros, FFXIV. I was wondering if any of you have insight into which ones are the easiest/hardest to play, and which ones are the least/most fun to play. I was leaning Striker so far, but Wardancer looks fun too

Game was fun but it's just too KMMO for me, way too many systems and dailies and all that to do. I did have fun up to like gear level 460 but after that its worn off. Plus Elden ring and Warhammer 3 are out in the next week! Have fun my fellow MMO goons.

I wouldn't necessarily blame being bewildered by the multiple game systems on being old. This seems to be a Korean(Asian?) MMO thing. I remember trying DFO and it had a very similar thing going on of like 18 different currencies and 7 different systems dumped on you simultaneously. I think Maplestory and a lot of Nexon games are like that too. It gets more and more complex the longer the game has been out and stuff like strongholds are added. Picking up FFXIV was way less confusing, for comparison. That game still has a lot of systems but most of them are optional, and it's a lot clearer about which is which.

The books you got were specic Drops of Ether books so it's fine that you used them up.

I hope this does get better!  What your equippable book thing does is give +3 power nodes to Drops of Ether. You can equip that twice on your equipment screen right here, to get a total of +6 nodes:   That means these 6 nodes are lit up on the Engravings tab:  Since I've gotten all 5 nodes lit up in the first section, that means I have level 1 of the Drops of Ether passive activated. I need 4 more nodes to activate the level 2 bonus, which I could get from a random ability stone. (My ability stone has +5 to Preemptive Strike instead, which is why those 5 are lit up below.) You can see I also have 4 nodes lit up for Enhanced Shield, but the passive is still greyed out. The nodes don't give me any benefit until I reach at least 5. quote:I've been trying to unlock Spirit absorbtion since it sounds like it'll be good.

If you had the max-level gold book version (which you upgrade to later, after going through blue and purple books), you would get +12 nodes instead of +3, which is enough to activate lvl 2 on its own. Then if you got an ability stone with +3 Spirit Absorption, you would go all the way to 15 nodes and activate the level 3 passive.

There's two good reasons to solo dungeons. 1, you can wander off to make a sandwich if you want. 2, you don't have to worry about someone interrupting your podcast wanting to chat. This has been a really nice podcast game, I usually do Lost Ark after I finish with my Genshin dailies. I got a silver pass, and I usually play 30-60 minutes a day. Sometimes I take a break for a day or two. Currently around level 18, and looking forward to that big fancy castle setpiece. I'm tempted to get a seed guide and do the full scavenger hunt thing, but I'm probably going to stick with just grabbing what stands out as I mow through sidequests. I'll probably do a second playthrough of main campaign once the Artist or Summoner come out, and that will be a good time to do the completionist run. Elden Ring is coming in... 11 days? I'm not sure if I'll finish the story before then, but I'm definitely having a pretty good time at the moment. EDIT: I think I liked the combat in Dungeon Fighter Online a little bit better, but the environments in Lost Ark look much nicer. My favorite part of the game so far is just marveling at the fields and outlook points. Was really cool zooming in on a scenic spot and noticing that hyper detailed lizard just chilling on a rock. avoraciopoctules fucked around with this message at 20:42 on Feb 16, 2022 |

For the folks like me who were confused where you get the 20 Class Engraving books, you get them from three side quests after the Luterra castle siege. The big one is the quest chain Memories of Luterra, which you get from Theo who is standing behind the throne at the castle, look for the purple quest mark. The chain will get you 15 of the 20 books you need. Aside from that, you get the rest from Knight To Be Remembered, at the PvP spot north of the castle entrance, which gives you three books for clicking on four statues. After that, you unlock Song of the People, from a bard lady in town not far from the castle entrance. You get two books for clicking on some nearby people. Once that's done you'll have enough to unlock one Class Engraving, and like other folks said you can equip it to both slots on your sheet to get the level 1 effect, or just save it for later because levelling isn't that hard without it.
