If it weren't for goons, this game would be really bad and boring. I can see why it has such a low population - if you don't go in with a big group of pre-existing friends, there's a long time where you wont be doing anything. Ever.

I think if it weren't for goons the only people who would be playing it are the 6 pay to win people and their army of alts.

There are 92 people playing through Steam; that is some terrible numbers. There are more Steam users playing Ragnarok Online than AoW. They really couldn't have hosed that Steam launch up further could they..

Steam also fucks up for me and only counts me playing when I'm in the launcher. As soon as the game starts steam thinks I quit the game.

I took another look at the marketplace on the chinese server, there are indeed (at least copper and silver quality) recipes for rulers, flutes, and the pretty girl weapon type, which are brass knuckles. Not using the proper weapon type makes you do 30% less damage. Gonna have to figure out a way to get them on patch day, maybe gold points?

Earthquake was saying that there are vendors in the schools that sell them during the stream but I dunno if he knew what he was talking about or what. I'd imagine they will pop up there as well like everything else.

Also why does the pretty girls get brass knuckles what that doesn't seem right.

Would it be a tremendous pain to pick a school and then swap over, or would it be easier to just sit and cultivate and wait for tomorrow? Do I need to go to joining a school first anyway?

Seriously, there is a very small group of us that are betraying and the only ones I know personally that are betraying are Royal Guards, and that's because Beggars with 4th internal are better at being an RG than an actual RG is. Royal Guards have basically one good end-game set and if you're using a Jianghu inner there's literally no reason to stick around. You can always build chain set again later.

I am betraying wv because I can't stand the people in the school.

Not even kidding it eventually goes to like 159 and is the strongest internal in the game. On the Chinese server you basically solo shura instances with it. It has some special effect at the last level but there's no info aside from actually playing the Chinese version. Also only vagrants can use it.

Correct and by then there's 5th internals however self recollection has insane ramp up. It's equal to or greater than a 9th internal at max level.

Some guy in beast villa who plays on the chinese servers sometimes was explaining how all the beast capturing stuff works and was talking about why vagrants are rad. He was explaining how self recollection is several orders above and beyond everything else like the 5ths.

In a stunning display of chinagame.txt, The shen family inner progression shines brghtly as a beacon of pure :psyduck:.

So, from level 5 to level 41 of the inner, it costs slowly rising numbers of certs per level. 10, then 20, then 40, then 60.

Then we hit levels 42-46.

These cost 600 certificates for each level, for a total of 2400 certs. This in a faction where your daily quest gets you 20-30 (on the rep levels anyone ahs reached) a day, and the potential to earn maybe 60 more from autismal grinding of the herb event. If you're lucky. So at best, we're seeing 80-90 certs a day. Compared to 600 per level.

Oh, and that's not all. the Shen inner goes up to level 69. The cost per level from 46-69? 258 per. The sudden mindboggling transition from 60-600-258 makes NO SENSE AT ALL, leading me to beleive it is either a typo (someone added an extra 0) OR there is some quest somewhere down the line.

Oh, and what makes it truly chinagame.txt is that every week you can spend 450L to purchase around 500 certs. so they're practically begging folks to buy Liang.

Are you sure the 47+ levels aren't advanced tokens? The Beast Villa level ups are advanced tokens at the super high not yet unlocked levels.

Does Beast Villa's "Wind Tiger and Cloud Dragon" "Rip and Tear" effect add to everyone's damage or just the BV character's? Is the parry effect per hit or per attack, and does a single parry give you 10 stacks? If the BV set is literally Perish Blade but with Mangle it would be a must-get in the long term.

That's not the parry the parry gives 100% life steal on the set. The 10 stack effect adds 100% bonus damage to the normal spam and the super dragon punch is sort of like a mangle. I don't think it applies to anyone not using that attack. I've not partied with any other beast members but it says it's only for that attack.

It is basically perish blade though a little different. It's good for tanking and pve because the spam costs no energy and there is the life steal.

Does the life steal only last one hit or attack, or does it last for some duration?

It's a stacking buff that is used up per hit. The more you level it up the more stacks you can have. Someone was saying that it's not linear but no one has access to the higher levels.

So is script stealing just broken now or? I stole two Tang scripts last night to try and get a start on replacing Following but I got nothing at the turn in, and it seems like this was happening a lot to the other people in the guild as well.

You probably just got one vagrant cert. it's super bullshit that there is not a 100% script rate from stealing scripts. I mean one vagrant cert is worth 3k cultivation to self recollection. That's a really poo poo reward especially since they made it harder with the npcs. They basically completely hosed the economy with the expansion since the only people who can reliably make money now are the bots.

Then you go meet Xu Feiyan and he's like "HEY I GOT THE GOODS BABY!", opens his trenchcoat and well... Here's what the tabs have.

Tab 1: School skills book 6, 7, and 8

Tab 2: Silver gear, Upgrades for SCHOOL GOLD Tier 5 to tier 6 (WTF?), and stuff so you can spend SOMETHING to buy certs (please don't let me be right on what I think something is)

Tab 3: Inner 42 - 56

Tab 4: Inner 57 - 61, Skills 9

"Ultimate Faction Knowledge": Inner 62 - 84, Skills 10


The internal has traditionally sucked, and I don't want to get a single book of it because I'm NEVER going to use it. Those skill books up to 10 look mighty fine though, so I'm probably going to stay Xu a bit longer to get those books to 10 and then never look back. What's REALLY crazy is: THERE'S MORE. I need to complete GCC hard, and TV Hell in order to apparently unlock that gold tier equipment and possibly other poo poo.


I had 200 rulers and laughed it off because I had everything, Then the floor dropped out and now I have no rulers, every skill but one to 8, 2 more levels for each skill, one campfire level (Because apparently you keep campfire, but one level down when you graduate), and gold tier equipment from school that I can then upgrade to class 6?


HAHAHA, I KNOW THE FEELING! send help.

RealEdit: also, since someone asked

Yes, all of the above is accessable to me, I CAN get level 82 of the internal RIGHT NOW. The ONLY exception is I can't get tier 5 gold to tier 6 gold, that's a future patch.

That's real strange because Beast Villa internal doesnt go past 50 and you can't even access those pages until that patch. Is the Xu inner not a t3 internal like Beast is?

If it is a 3rd wouldn't that make Xu the strongest internal in the game at 82?

Yeah look at the cost of high level beast villa skills. Don't blow your certs. A single page of a skill to 7 is like 300ish certs.

It's such a strong set that I think it's probably worth it if only for the spirit free spam attack. Every level improves the damage on the mangle. Going from 2 to 3 doubled the damage that each stack added. It also seemed like the stacks all last a lot longer at 3.
