Everyone forgot the most important item for S3 and now iron ores are worth more than Regina components at 180k each. You need 120 for a full set of Lvl 80 or 30 for a weapon :20bux:

And they fixed the lag.

By 'shortened all of the boats' you mean the actual levels themselves got a lot shorter? I was trying to remember if there was any way to skip those boat introductions when entering/reentering dungeons or not. :v:

You can get to Lvl 70 (all raids open) in approx 3-5 days which is nice considering how long it took in the past even with story quests. The only time you probably will grind is for the final leg to Lvl 80-90 where everyone is at right now so you'll find people to farm exp with if necessary.

The only place that has annoyingly long maps are in S2 esp TD but fortunately people actually host boats right now.

Rule #1: Don't enhance/enchant unless this is the last thing. Pre-made is the way to go unless you enjoy failing back to back scrolls for each armor part.

Does anyone know if the stuff in the S3 preparedness package is tradeable yet? Or if the individual contents were ever meant to be tradeable?

The closed package is tradeable b/t the same acc but the individual items are not. For example, I can't split the Inner and Hair coupons or +10 one.

Idk if it's just me but I lag a lot in the new maps vs some S2 raids. Great for mining godly ores though. Regina is OK but her I'm averaging 20-30 min each raid and that gets old fast. I'd rather run older raids and sell off the useless secondary mats.

At around what level will I start to see other boats?

Don't be silly, Vin is the anti-social MMO until endgame. Then you can set-up boat reqs to meet more people who are into the game that much.

I'm playing as the spear woman, she is pretty cool but her town walking animation is a loving travesty. What kind of armour is she supposed to use?

Wait, for a min I thought you were talking about Lann :v:

Lynn is melee so stack STR stuff like heavy and plate. Later on you can wear Light armor but w/o enchants you might as well get the extra DEF from plate.

FWIW, they removed BP so now you can rush from 0 to 70 in 2-3 days but a week should suffice for reg people.

So I have no idea how character progression in this game works, but if the grind and the lag are better than when I played a few years ago I could give it a shot. Would the recent Evie update change how I would build her from how a guide would say to? More into staff than scythe, I'm all about casters.

The lag problem varies. Vin is infamous for being poorly optimized and for S2/3 you will probably experience FPS drops even on a modern PC. Also, it helps a lot if you can host your runs/raids.

Right now staff is closer to the traditional idea of a mage with a variety of spells and it's a good call if you want to play since the revamp improved everything.

For a AP guide I did INT, Magic, and CRIT masteries all at rA. Next for spell types I did fire > ice > elec and their respective skills. Finally, the SP skills don't improve that much but it's nice to rank them if you have spare AP. Although I did like 1KO-ing bosses with Rage Conductor.

And about Evie sucking, I don't know how people play her, but she is by far one of the strongest chars in game atm especially with scythe, it is true that you do need to invest in some att spd for her(30+ at least) but way less so now then pre revamp where she was unplayable at low speed.

Evie got better but I still find scythe to be overly clunky even with the 24h +15 weps. Staff improved a lot though since the last revamp. My motivation to get to Lvl 90 again is low until they release Sylas too.

Despite the lackaluster Halloween event I liked the Anniversary sales and bingo board even though the best thing I got from the boxes were unbinds :arghfist:

I'm starting up, and since it sounds like there is no goon presence on the west server, I'm making a character on east, even though I live in the west. I play at odd hours for my timezone most of the time, but I'm not really worried about being able to group with people all the time, just would like the benefits of a guild. Which guild should I send an app to? I'd also welcome any tips or suggestions on what to focus on, like what skills I should pick up first and learn to use, etc. Playing as Hurk cause I love me some big fuckoff swords and it sounds like hes a pretty good solo character, since most of my time playing will probably be solo.

Not really, as East is slightly more populated than West. I'm also on East as Lexane so that's always a bonus. There's no official SA guild AFAIK though.

They don't care about the alts; they care about ~Free Stuff~

Also, there's a "new" event. It's that stupid Gold Junior Chieftain upgrade event so it's not new. It's also completely irrelevant to your life if you don't already have a junior chieftain pet now or in the near future. This is arguably better than an event that encourages you to play on alts you don't like.

I like free stuff. Also, the boxes have enhance/enchant runes which is always nice. Not going to farm because farming is terrible but I'd be happy if I got another free rune.

So apparently they have this contest where you get a thing when you're the first one with him to 90. I just did a Crescent Moon Island with one and I'm jealous as Arisha. He gets a much better teleport so he's much faster and also he gets to heal. That guy was super pushy though which I guess is understandable when you want to win the thing but drat it man let me grab my loot. Also I hate that place, everything flies and is poisoned.

It auto-loots at the end of the longer runs. Ugh, I keep looking at the race to 90 title but I just don't want to no-life grind exp like maple all over again. Yes, his teleport is a lot better than Ari but I'm only lvl 16 :v:

Even in all the Malina poo poo? Even if that's the case my OCD won't allow me to actually leave that stuff behind. There's also tons of poo poo about the game I don't know because the wiki is terrible, the translation sucks and guide videos mainly consist of people doing sick moves and then jerking themselves off. Maybe this time I'll actually invest the time, 80 gear is still prohibitively expensive and actually got more expensive after the patch but 90 gear is super cheap and still getting cheaper, just have to power through the last couple of levels with my mostly 70 gear.

It's OK, I'll always be here for you :smith:

Also, most of the drops are trash in S2 with the exceptions of breaks and rares so I stopped caring umm 2-3 yrs ago. Have you tried seal farming? You can a full set of Lvl 80 items in a few weeks if dedicated enough. I was extremely lazy on my Evie alt and I still hit 17k with 175 titles.

Also while I'm ranting what is it about Sylas that makes people who play him so obnoxious? I mean the community in general is pretty poo poo but I've had tons of problems with Sylas players lately like them failing trials of Macha on purpose, opening doors with normal boxes and just generally demanding everything be done their way instead of just playing.

Honestly that's pretty much every character in the entire game. A lot of lower level player are going die a lot due to low stats in the beginning. I don't think most people fail runs on purpose unless you mean the don't break armor/revive oaths.
