Is trading even worth it? I seem to make more money just afk fishing, the couple 1000s I get per trade are lame. I guess later on when you trade between one corner of the map to the other, it starts paying out, but right now it feels trivial.

Trading is only good if you get master 2 and do one of the following: 1. Grind pirates a lot 2. Process a lot 3. Actively fish To get there you have to either: 1. Actively trade to get there taking 30+ hours 2. Make 50k junk crates, losing 300mil+ in the process and sell them Comedy option: get master 10 trading and do imperial trading from port ratt. Just look at where that is on the map though lolol gwrtheyrn fucked around with this message at 09:13 on Jun 28, 2017 |

Pirates drop items that are worth a lot more with M2 trading. This being a Korean MMO i am sure there is a bot that lets you do whatever you want, but i have no idea where you would get it (and it is probably a bannable offense to use one) What is the MMO HMO stance on bot discussion?

No, not botting. Like in-game, the way you assign them to nodes. Just, you know, trade routes instead.

Honestly if I was going to try botting I would just want something that chops wood and melts ore from my storage without me having to inventory manage. I could do that 24/7 and not run out of things to process for long, long time.

mike12345 posted:I get 2 and 3, but why grinding pirates? The stuff they drop? At master2 level of trading, you can do a questline that unlocks the capability to spend 100 energy to get a 1 hour buff at a spot out in the desert. With this buff, trade items you turn in from outside of the desert to the traders in valencia will be worth 50% more. Pirates drop 3 types of coins (Bronze, iron, etc) that are considered trade goods. People stockpile giant piles of these coins and then go grab the master2 buff and trade the coins in at valencia. Another thing to do with the m2 trading buff is making crates. Specifically, you make the high value crates (calpheon timber, mediah timber, bronze/brass, etc) in Trent, and then take them to valencia with the m2 buff to sell. Without the m2 buff, you lose money on these crates compared to just selling the materials on the market. But with the m2 buff they are worth more than the market value of the materials. I'm sure there are bots out there that could probably trade poo poo automatically but I don't really know anything about them.

J posted:What area of the game did you log out in? I've known a few people with not so good computers that had trouble logging back into the game if they logged out in a really heavily populated area, like around the banks in heidel or calpheon. Also the past several weeks the game has really exploded in popularity and the server tends to start melting during prime time in the evenings. I think that might have been it. I also read that clearing the DNS cache helps which checks out because I did that and was fine for the rest of the night A couple more basic questions: 1. For questing (I'm at like 22) I've just been following the black spirit. Should I go venture into other lands or will his quests guide me there? I've traveled a good distance but I still feel like I'm kind of in the "starting zone" 2. I just hop in Discord to join the Goon Guild, right?

Confession time on botting. I used to bot wow everyday never banned. Stopped botting because i felt no attachment to my character(s) and could care less about the progress I made. Don't get me wrong it was nice making gold with no effort and having good gear but not having a goal anymore to work towards killed my enjoyment faster than blizzard could with lovely expansions. After that never felt the need to bot to try and get ahead again in a digital game with no real meaning.

I haven't done the mediah and valencia questlines, but I want to say that the calpheon questline still takes you around most of the calpheon region. Honestly, if you're level 22, you probably don't want to go anywhere but the "starting zone" since that is a description of the entire calpheon region where you're probably questing. You can really do whatever you want, but it's not the worst idea to do the questline at least once since it gives inventory expansions and skill points Yeah, join discord and poke someone for an invite J posted:But with the m2 buff they are worth more than the market value of the materials.

I went looking for a beginners guide and found this. https://youtu.be/6pOJYfMQPIA It really helped frame what you're supposed to do. My eyes still kinda glaze over when talking about nodes and workers but I can see how it works now. Really, though, I just want to punch fools all day. Which is the class with the best summons? I'm still hoping that one day the world will provide another Mastermind from City of Heroes.

Yeah there isn't really any class that resembles a summoner at all. Tamers have their wolf pet which is the closest thing to a pet class in the game. Awakened wiz/witch do have these water/fire elemental companions but I don't think they are a primary focus of the class. Striker awakening has these fire clone dudes that appear out of nowhere when you use some abilities and run in WWE style and throw elbows and kicks at your target but you can't control them and they disappear immediately afterwards.

If you get the timing perfect you don't need the sugar cube.

Worker node advice for PNR guys: We do a ton of gathering guild missions and we always try to encourage people to go and chop logs/hit rocks. Especially during the events which give bonus drops to gathering. Gathering gets you hard/sharp stones which are worth 1.6/3.6 respectively and used to enchant gear so they're very valuable. A lot of newer players keep asking in guild chat about nodes to connect, etc. I would suggest doing the following: Veila - max out your workers there, get a residence and grab all the nearby grains (corn/potatos). Heidel - Get the Heidel mine Keplan - Grab the coal node right next to Keplan. Iron mines near Altinova - Iron + Zinc Glish - Iron mine next to town Glish: get the Armor factory and the Tool factory. Do the following items: Make steel using melted iron shards + coal. Make Bronze with zinc + copper shards. Grind down magic crystals for Blackstone powder. Chop some lumber nearby for tools. Mine rocks for rough stone for tools. Farm tough hide. Melt down Black Crystals from Altinova Iron mine. At Glish, you can now craft all your tools (make sure you use a high luck human to proc lucky tools/Ult Grunil). You will need to farm tough hide but if you do that, you can craft Grunil for repairing yours or just selling. Always use lucky tools when gathering, as it increases hard/sharp rate. When I have VP buff active, I craft several weeks worth of Lucky Steel tools and sell the regular ones on the MP. Don't craft anything but Steel, it's the best value.

Gonna pick this up during the steam sale. I played in the beta and at the time the wizard was hands down the asskickingest best class. The rest of the classes I tried just felt so slow by comparison. I don't care at all about pvp, and I see there's a lot of new classes. What are peoples class pro-picks for tearing through mobs like paper?

With the understanding that you'll eventually (eventually) want to replace it anyway with boss armor, a common suggestion is Heve because when you break up the set you don't lose too much. Or Taritas for the raw defence. But really anything other than Fortuna or Talis has its merits. I used Zereth for ages because it was cheap and good to grind in.

Pick literally any armor set with two crystal slots if you're not already invested. I wouldn't recommend fortuna if you want it for the luck bonus, but it does have two crystal slot. If you're not p2wing weight I'd recommend hercules for weight capacity which you will probably appreciate more than the ap/hp bonuses of grunil/heve

Even if you have weight maxed, if you're likely to level multiple classes it's nice to have given you can switch armor between characters. I'm too invested in my Grunil now to switch, but really wish I had went with hercules now that I've ditched my Striker. Can't bring myself to buy all the weight expansions again. I will however buy another horse whistle because gently caress not having a horse whistle.

I'll check out hercules, thanks. I'm trying to find quests that reward bag slots so I'm just going around randomly not really grinding. I've heard about pets picking stuff up for you,is that a must have and can I get them without the money store?

Demiurge4 posted:I'll check out hercules, thanks. I'm trying to find quests that reward bag slots so I'm just going around randomly not really grinding. Do the quests from the black spirit and you will get a bunch of inventory slots. Don't worry about grinding levels, you need a good economy and a good grasp of the various game mechanics to continue to have fun in your mid-50's. There ar a lot of unique mechanics in this game that take some time to learn. Don't worry about having to learn everything right away. Take your time and spend 80% of the time playing, 20% of the time watching youtube tutorials. You need pearls (irl cash) for pets, though the current login event rewards a penguin pet on day 21 or so. If you recently started and are behind on the login rewards you can get 2 login reward per day during weekends, 1 immediately upon login and 1 an hour after. This lets you catch up a bit at least. Pets are amazing in the sense that you don't have to bother with looting enemies, the pets will vacuum up everything and put it in your inventory. The newbie login rewards you get for the first 21 days give you a ton of cash, i believe it is almost 100 million silver so that should get you started on a full set of +15 glove/helm/boots/mainhand. No need to spend money on a chest armor or an offhand with +15s on the others. You get a great chest armor and a great offhand for free through the black spirit quests. These items are by no means endgame gear but more than good enough to get you to 56 and awakening at least.

This game is horrible for playing barbie dress up unless you're willing to drop the cash to buy costumes from the store. There are lots of cool looking costumes on the cash shop, but if you don't have one most gear sets in the game have you looking like a hobo. Technically you can buy the costumes for in game silver off the market (20-25 million), which is a great deal, but you'll have to sit around the market a lot bidding on every costume that gets listed because you're competing against hundreds of people for each one. Same deal with pets, technically they can be bought for in game silver, realistically it will take you forever to actually win one. For grinding, 4 pets is absolutely crucial. Picking up loot manually sucks. Regarding starting armor, really anything will do. I'd agree with others saying that the hercules set weight limit increase will likely be far more noticeable than any other armor's set bonuses. Especially if you find out you're more into the lifeskilling side of the game than the grinding side. Weight limit is good in general but is super useful while doing afk lifeskill stuff.

Honestly, costumes are the easiest pearl item to get since it's a one time purchase whereas pets and vps are consumable. That being said you basically need to have a market maid and ~20mil stashed in every capital
