I might be reading the patch notes wrong, and also my brain might be addled from all the notes about different points and scores that I don't understand yet.

Does the new class level faster during the event, or does everyone get an exp bonus? I know everyone gets the additional exp bonus from the black spirit or whoever, but if the newest class has an additional bonus during the month, I should level that first to take advantage. Otherwise I'll have to pick at random I guess :P

IIRC this game has a robust character creator, so I look forward to making gross monstrosities and freaking people out. Although the game doesn't sound very social (a problem most modern MMOs share anyway) but hopefully I can interrupt everyone's Sexy Anime Gatherings with horrifying abominations cursed by god.

I got my punching lady to level 50, largely just following the leveling guide I found online. It looks like in the coming levels, AP is going to matter a whole lot and mine is pretty abysmal. What's the best way to raise that up? It looks like that question gets asked a lot online but the responses aren't very helpful. My weapon is upgraded to +7 so that helped a bit, but people have emphasized getting my subweapon, and I don't even know where to find one :shobon: I did the Black Spirit Quests to upgrade my armor but it sounds like I should be handed sicknasty armor for free, and that hasn't cropped up yet.... although those might be rewards from the main story.

I don't know if its because I elected to grind exp rather than continue the main storyline, or if the game just doesn't hold your hand very much, but it feels like there are a lot of systems in this game, that require outside research to really grasp. I keep clicking Node Management on each node guy, I learned to fish (and even got some perfect fish bars and an ORANGE fish $$$) some quest got me a pickaxe, but I'm still pretty lost. I should probably join a guild and harass them about how2play until I get kicked.

drat, I was trying to bumrush to get the limited-time rewards for hitting the high-50's milestones. Hopefully I can one-hit my way through everything in the main quest quickly.... which is sad because I like to take my time with story stuff.

This also makes it less likely I can level a second class quickly enough (I think only Guardian and Punch Man get these particular benefits, right?). But hey, once the event ends, I can take my time and actually learn my combos :haw:

Yeah I'm assuming that other people have billions in cash but I'm fairly flush with silver (and some gold bars shoved into storage) right now. I have no idea whether prices are good or bad for a given piece of equipment, but I'll try to follow that gear guide and see what I can get.

Thanks for the help!

Oh is that what that is? I assumed those were all the currently listed item prices, with some prices having a current count of the # of the product listed at that price. I figured it just showed the number once it crossed a certain threshold. Good to know!

I've sold some ingredients and poo poo on the marketplace, just to free up room. I have no idea how people can tradeskill AND do anything else, although maybe they just make a tradeskill alt...?

I have a (free) horse, a wagon, and a raft, but I find the horse pretty inconvenient - I guess it's good for going from safe zone to safe zone, but the horse being in danger when I dismount near my kill spots is no good. Especially since they seem to prioritize the horse and not the psychotic kung-fu woman butchering their friends en masse. The wagon is nice for some sorely needed space, same with the storages at each town. I also have a teeny tiny room in the first real town, because I needed it in order to use.... something. Storage, maybe?

It's definitely annoying, although it's also pretty funny that I'm throwing fists, elbows and kicks through the skulls of every fish man in the lake and they're still going "Hey there's a HORSE well gently caress THAT HORSE!!" as it just chills on the side of the road.

Your mom and dad completely ignore your plight as a buxom maniac delivers a fatal People's Elbow because they spotted a horse, foulest of all God's mistakes


Edit: Thanks for the guide above ^ ! Sounds like I really should do the main quest now. Oh well, I actually like quests, I just wanted to take advantage of all the anniversary event stuff :)

This is probably a goofy question, but is there a way to aggro mobs in the area that are too low (or maybe too docile?) to aggro on their own? For a recent example for me, sitting in Everquest will make even the most noobish mobs decide to bumrush me. Or its easy to tag mobs with an arrow or a spell to get them collected.

I ask because I'm a mystic and running around punching things individually isnt as fun or fast as getting everything to bumrush me so I can hit them with AoE skills. Obviously this isnt a factor when grinding exp, but I've been focusing on catching up on the MSQs, and it'll be good to know in the future when I need to kill a bunch of animals for leather or meat or fluid, and for any kind of side quests where I need to murder a lot of lower level mobs. Its doable but I don't love it :cheeky:

Hmm ultimately I don't know if I'll actually use galloping regularly since that sounds inconvenient in a slightly different way than meleeing everything, but on the other hand it does sound really funny to just trample things to death so I can skin them or suck out their blood or whatever the hell (I dont really know anything about tradeskills yet). So thanks for that, and in general for the horse advice, you'd think I would have guessed that based on my earlier experience of everything gunning for my horse as soon as it spawns. I guess I should learn how you train a horse!

Is it just me or do the classes seem weighted in favor of the females? Lahn seems cool, Sorc seems cool, Archer seems cool... I usually play as men in games but so far they just seem worse. I guess the Samurai class seems decent (although Lahn still seems to do the same things, better) and in theory the Berserker is EXACTLY what I want in a MMO, but he apparently is not very good :(

It's also possible I'm largely basing this on the MMO community which, by and large, always sides with SEXY LADY CHARACTER over anything else.

I probably should have asked this from the start, but do we have a guild? Should I just join one of those random guilds that advertise, as long as they have the guild buffs?

hello fellow mmo addict

Ayoooo do you play this game too? I'm not really playing it as an MMO right now... just sort of punching and crafting and getting mad at inventory limits on my own time :shobon:

I'm level 52 but leveling has slowed as i gently caress around on things that don't benefit me in any way :xd:

I don't feel any allure for p99 right now, maybe that will change but I sorta doubt it.

Update: I’m level 56 now and decided to do awakening quests and they were easy. I still have no idea what I’m doing 90% of the time. I brewed a million beers and now I’m decent at cooking. I tried to fight a rift boss but I got owned and was annoyed that his HP went down so slowly.

Leveling 56+ seems much slower but the combat is still fun and the 9million things to do are cool. My biggest complaint is that I need about 2000x the inventory space.
