How do you get into the localization effort? It would be a shame if it turned out crap and I could probably help.

The github project for it is here. You can also change anything translatable locally on your client too, at any time, while you're playing.

Okay, if nothing else, their real-time updating is super cool and even more advanced that some of the rapid-prototyping technology I've used in some games in the past, which is still leagues ahead of what most of the industry still insists on doing.

That and their move to steam is pretty insane, in a good way. Just staying hopeful that the game itself will be fun long term.

CBT 3 is happening in 7 days! I don't know about calling this one a closed beta, since the first thing it says is that "anyone who applies will be accepted". I suppose it's "closed" in the sense that they're wiping the server after the test.
So, if anyone is curious about the game and happens to have a korean nexon account, now would be a good time to apply! Signups are from now until the 28th.

Don't you still need a valid Korean ID to register?

Okay so when you're enchanting items, up to +5 is just buy the anvil item and enchant away. Above +5 you have a chance of failing. If you fail, it eats a Potential point (items have potential points) and resets it to rank 0. Expect +6 and above to get expensive real fast.

Wouldn't be an asian MMO without this (+5 for "free" is super generous)

Free as in it still costs a good deal of money to get up there, but yeah. Usually it's only +3 or so. But on the other hand I have no idea what the maximum is. There could be many, many levels of failure to go through. Introducing cash shop item Auto-Enchanter Mk.IX?

I want to know who it will be that finds out about a maximum (without datamining) and how many resources they spent getting there.

I thought they said it was there to stymie bots, but if you can just buy the potions then idk. :confused:

I thought so too, but wouldn't they just code them to attack crystals? Isn't the stamina replenish off of them area wide? Thought I saw that in the cbt2 stream

drat, not among them again. A question for those who are playing: What activities are there except for pure grinding? Grinding is alright if it is a means to an end.

There are achievements to do that give rewards like hair colour etc, the cards that drop ingame have a cardgame attached to them. That's from what I've seen

This worries me considering how grindy most Korean MMOs tend to be.

A part of me thinks they meant the grind was too much "for the length of this CBT" in terms of actually reaching the high end classes. I don't mind a grind without a time limit.

If you're one of the few that got a key at the start of iCBT, you might have gotten another one if you link your steam on the ToS main site.

The more people you have the more exp monsters give, but it's of course split between players. Still better than soloing though. Unless you're a tank and can kill your entire pull by yourself, then people wanting to "help out" just end up sucking your tit.

Good OP. Also, I didn't realize that class selection locked you out of the others, so that's good to know.

Yeah class selection can be a bit daunting, here's something I found to maybe help you figure it out:

Friend told me about this game yesterday and I went to check it out but I guess I've missed signing up for the beta? No other way to get in right?

rip if so, the game looks pretty great.

Once the keys are being given out, come hang out in the IRC. With luck some goons might have gotten multiple keys and will give some away.

I also learned that the Enchant Fire buff has synergy with the Cleric's Blessing spell, in that it causes the bonus damage to proc twice on everything. It turned our party into a machine of death.

Double that with Sacrament's holy and the Cafrisun set and you'd proc it 4 times a hit. Same with Concentrate, and Ranger steady aim (i think)

So is there any way to get Potential back or are you just poo poo out of luck once it runs out? Being a linear improvement doesn't tell you anything about how important it is unless you know what the improvement is relative to the base stats either. It's hard NOT to be more completely hosed than DFO's system though :v:

(Please correct me if I'm wrong)

Equipment has x amount of potential. There is no way to regain this potential.

Potential is used for:
1) Trading (per trade -1, this includes selling/buying from market)
2) Failing an Upgrade
3) Adding socket and magic amulet (whatever that is...)
4) Alchemist skills Briquetting and Item Awakening


This makes equipment enhancing and overall gear upgrades a lot harder/rewarding. There won't be x amounts of perfectly crafted equipments being handed down forever, because this is the game's "true" item decay. Having said that, at 0 potential you can still use equipment to their full extent, you just can't do any of the above things.

Carving statues is hit or miss as anything that touches you +- any server lag will interrupt your cast but trigger the cooldown and take your materials!!

or so i've heard

It's gotten a bit better now, it works alright in dungeons at least. Just be wary of any elevations, players, pets and ground effects (and enemies interrupting you)

If only linked enemies actually shared debuffs.


Has anyone played around with monster gems yet? I kinda want to know how they scale when leveling them, because I'm half building around the ability to only take 1 rank of linker but still be able to get to skill 6+ in joint penalty through shenanigans.

You can't level them anymore, always +1 afaik

Sadhu's OOB autoattack is a triple strike magicattack, so it benefits a lot from INT. If you're OOB you can still technically cast spells but they will be cast on/in front of your mainbody, which is still vulnerable to attacks.

The main goon i know that tried out Sadhu to high levels actually took 3 in cleric, instead of Krivis, which might be a more obvious INT choice. It would definetely make leveling easier. Cleric 3 gives you more out of your safety zone, your main source of security for your fragile body. You'll be OOB a lot, so you probably want to keep your actual spells either as support or long CD/high impact.


Then again I haven't been paying attention to any changes since the last time i played...
