1) Train skills while offline
2) Eligible for Random Encounters (get you rare items)
3) Can get silver from kidnapping (tradable money)
4) More free stuff from events.

There was a something a few months ago and many inactive accounts are cleaned out. You still hear some losses. I'd recommend doing Matrix Auth for some two-factor.

Yes, after betraying my WV meridian was still 144. My school internals and skills are all completely gone as well. Another thing to note is when I tried to betray it gave me an error stating I couldn't be a deacon, elder, headmaster and that I had to remove my treasures. This literally means you need to remove your treasures.

I wonder if the position requirements apply to other methods. Anyone tried? Otherwise I'm stuck for a while.

Akeenai, I misread. It's not 12 hours, It's 12:00 on Sunday.

To get into the moving flowers zone you have to do a longer, modified version of the WV designs quest, though there might be new hidden requirements.

There's a new class of items I don't understand to reduce the cost of an enchantment by 2 to 10 L. Haven't seen alternatives for binding powder.

Everyone returning should replace both passwords.

Also there's an odd new feature I didn't notice until a new character. Click the clock icon next to the 2nd password field after putting it in. You can declare a slow time for normal and/or new MAC logins where you can't 2nd password up to 60 minutes. Just if you never play on other machines and want to inconvenience possible hackers?:shrug:

I'm not sure that's so much messing up as an intentional break.

FebrezeNinja
Nov 22, 2007

That's unavoidable, there's always a kidnapping cooldown to keep people from constantly sweeping clean all targets. Not that it helped.

Kidnapping during the 2 hours in the designated city and turning into the dark-minded trafficker and justice doctor give around 30 minute cooldowns, but that's the only way.

If you can kidnap all day, it's best to turn into the same buyer every hour since it increases the maximum amount you can get.

So uhh, just rolled a character and I didn't pick a school, what should I do to get into the guild? it says I'm not in any of the allowed Schools to apply.

Actually I don't think our recruit requirements allow vagrants and someone might need to fix that.


Iowa posted:

My friend and I both tried kidnapping around 1 AM, and no longer received unbound. So I don't know what's going on with that.

Confirming. Maybe it's turned on from 20:00 to reset?

You could use the certs after to rebuy 2nd internal for meridians.

Just to record the random stuff I'm looking through for Disguise

1) Meet the guy with Red Fish Noodle Soup. Can't have a school title.
2) Give 2 dragon bone stone, 2 shanxi mature vinegar, 10 of the 700HP hour pill (Brave Heart-Purifying?), 10 Jile Drug.
3) Open the furnace 2 days later, go back.
From this point forward, all but one step can have money thrown at it to skip, marked as [].
4) Chalcedony. Drops at low rate from Old Package dropped off Loulan trash in Northern Desert. Easy [400L]
5) Purple Ice Silver Needle. Drops off bosses in PCV or LMI. [600L]
6a) 15 Ice Silk. Drops off the female boss(es) in GCC, PCV, LMI. [50L each]
6b) Blood Swallow's Nest. Found in Yanyu Villa [N/A]
7) Anesthetic (Ma Fo Powder). Found in random treasure chests. [1D]
8) Linggu Grass. Must be purchased. [1.8D]
9) Tibetan Dzi Beads. Dropped from faction challenge A-rank rewards [1D]
10) 10 Thousand Turtle-Dove Poison Serum, 10 Heart Corroding Poison Powder, 5 Red Fish Noodle Soup

Now you can do the actual face-shaping/makeup/etc for 150L+.

There is also an RE shop that sells this stuff for 100L or 200L cheaper. Does not sell Ice Silk.

The game is asking me to get pebbled silk for one of the influence dailies but there is nothing with that name in the game. So many of our influence quests are hosed up with wrong translations rendering them almost impossible to finish.
Flipping through the text files real quick, get a tailor to try Fan Brocade. One of those weird fabrics for 3 coarse + 3 flax.

E: no i have no idea how that at all resembles Pebbled Silk but that's what the CN line reference half-translates as.

It's a resource extractor I downloaded off our wiki ages ago and in codepage-busted Chinese. I think It's called WushuRead.

Most of that group of task items looked to be simple or processed gathering stuff.

It's a mixed bag on that translation front. For a lot of old stuff like that brocade or most poisons they just translate the main noun and drop or transliterate the rest. Like Jile Drug was accidentally translated when a new quest wanted it as Bliss Drug or something. On the other hand Ant Silk is literal probably. Maybe grow silkworms?

I'll look again when I'm on this evening. Couldn't figure the task listing system earlier.

FebrezeNinja
Nov 22, 2007

Other odd task items, lemme know if you need more.

Linen = Flax
Mottled Cotton = Mottled Muslin
Muslin = Solid Color Muslin
Fiber Cloth = Sisal Cloth
Pebbled Silk = Fan Brocade
Milkweed = Dogbane (aka Apocnyum Seed aka Kender plant.)
Ant Silk = Newly-Hatched Silk
Sand Silk = Lobworm Silk
Nut Grass = Water Chestnut
Olive = Osthmantus

Random note: holy hell there's 46 other kinds of silk that I don't think are in the game. Add "Silk" to each of these.
Castor, Mulberry, Sinica, Tussah, Chestnut, Ailanthus, Cloud, Cassava, Maple, Willow, Tallow, Sandalwood, Pine, Peach Blossom, Purple Potato, Lily, Cypress Silkworm, Scholartree, Laurel, Black, Oak, Lovesickness, Tung Oil, Fir, Nanmu, Elm, Poplar, Bell, Eucalyptus, Apricot, Linden, Catalpa, Smoke Tree, Birch, Tear, Light, Ice, Fire, Golden, Silver, Tiger, Noctilucent, Heaven, Jade, Amber, Bamboo, Black


vvv
Only ten, oddly. Rug, White, Red, Grass, Wooden, Long Stapled, Medium, Woolen, Cloud, and Colored Cotton.

Claim it during kidnapping hours. Just leave it unclicked when you log in, wait until 20:00, then open the menu, click end game, and instead of hitting "quit" click "rewards" and THEN claim it.

You have to be offline through an entire reset cycle, from 0:00 to 23:59, before you can get in the labor queue for any unbound I think.

No, I'm pretty sure I've gotten it with something like 15 hours offline before. Very rarely, though.

Nov 22, 2007

Yeah my eyebrows seems more accurate about air, at least the first hit. Second is still bad.

Just a quick note since I hadn't seen it mentioned: excursion doesn't lock your fourth set, despite the wording of the npc and the website. Just lowers it to 4 like the others. And every internal lowered to 30, which sucks for tangmen. It tracks your cap and level of each skill and internal as of when you excursioned.

FebrezeNinja
Nov 22, 2007

All school internals above 30 down to that; all school skills above 4 down to that.

SweetBro posted:

Where does one get Jade Fragments? How many times can you usually use a workbench before it expires?

1) certain cash shop boxes that have been out since that patch but will probably be back later.

2) All workshops last six hours. T1 looms and benches can make six items, T2 can make five. Both tiers of blocks make two items, but you only get like ten minutes of leeway with a t2.

Same rules apply to Herbalist pot, I presume?

Not at quite. Furnaces last an hour and each make is five minutes. It rounds to the minute,so if you're on the ball you can do twelve makes. Third and fourth recipes are the same times.

Unfortunately the wiki was lost when the person hosting it disappeared and then the domain expired. Never managed to contact them. If you do some google searching you might be able to find bits of the public pages people copied off. Or maybe they got web archived at some point? Google cache has purged them by now.

People have considered restarting one but there's so much lost work that nobody has the time to rewrite.

Do you have any particular questions?
