use NOX you only have to delete a file instead of all the game data so you can just automate the whole process. start recording right after you get a lovely box and stop right after you open it. easy peasy

Yeah, we can always move around times to try to best fit people's schedules. The biggest complaint we heard that night was that 1030PM EST was too late. Tonight and for the foreseeable future, we are going to try to have clan fireplace & dungeons run at 9:30PM EST.

So, I have been fighting with this for a little over a day. For some reason it doesn't take some of my clicks in certain places so I've had to come up with work arounds or else the macro goes off the rails. So far I've managed to burn through 3 of my favorite character names playing around with the linking of the account after finally getting a roll I was happy with. Rare R weapon and an SR ear ring. Sure, I'll take that. Sync data? Sure! Over written! Noooo! All this just to make a healer alt to keep me company at night. It's not going super well.

So far I've only rolled two rares from smushing As together, a helm and a second weapon. (first weapon came off the login reward) But $140 still feels like a lot for that.

It wasn't and you're getting confused with the *current* bundle which has a regular (worthless) s box which is not the same thing. I know what I bought, and so do other people. The 110 package is just predatory pricing or a typo

Okay so it might have only been rare armor but like that makes a $100 difference

I have to stress how huge the Defeated With One Hit achievement is for leveling up the achievement badge.

Best way to do it is in the Trials of Experience or Temple Guardian when an attack power buff is generated. You combine that with a power boost skill and soulshot, and throw it at a scrub monster. I somehow went straight from level 17 to 20, possibly with a crit, and got a boatload of achievement points. If you're a regular daily player, you should be able to add a level every other day (or faster).

Other than that, is there any other achievement that's good to focus on in a targeted way?

The core drop rate seems much higher to me, which makes sense because it was stupidly low even after the garbage letter event. (Seriously that event was amazingly bad)

It shouldn't take literally weeks of non-stop grinding to fill the codex in for a region.

Soul Crystal drop rates are way up, too. I got over a dozen in 30 minutes of Cruma 2 HOT time, including an S and an A. Which was also way overdue.

Also I just got 2 Rare A+A combines in a row. Not sure if they changed the success rate or if I'm just incredibly lucky.

If you're looking for a Korean MMO that you can play while you poop, now is a good time to join us! Open Sieges and Fortress Sieges have just been added to the game today! The goon clan Banhammer should break the top 50 clans by the end of the week and we'll hopefully get an increase in our roster limit soon as well. If you apply and see that we're full, we have an overflow clan called BanGavel.

Open Sieges

quote:

Open Siege brings together two teams of thirty players together in a real-time 30 vs. 30 battle. What sets it apart from Fortress Siege is that your character levels don’t matter – all character combat power is set to the same level of around 90,000. All characters are on the same fair and square footing. Another great feature of Open Siege is that players can select any class and subclass available for their race. This is a great opportunity for you to experience and try out different roles with the same character! Please note, once you’ve selected a class, there’s a 5-minute cooldown before you can select a new one. You’ll have access to the rare skills of each subclass, giving you a chance to experience the different roles in battle.

Fortress Sieges

quote:

Fortress Siege offers clans the chance to enjoy large-scale 50 vs. 50 battle. The clan that claims victory in the Fortress Siege gains the honor that allows them to receive various buffs, titles, and rewards until the next the time the fortress is up for conquering.

Participation in a Fortress Siege begins with your clan. Clans bid on the fortress they want to fight for on the day before the battle. From all of the submitted bids, the top 2 clans with the winning bids are chosen to battle against each other. In the actual battle, the clan who imprints their opponent’s Holy Artifact first within 30 minutes claims victory. If neither of the Holy Artifacts are imprinted on, the battle ends in a draw. Only the Clan Leader can imprint a Holy Artifact, so Clan members must present a united front and protect their Clan Leader so they can successfully complete the imprint.

For anyone considering playing, don't be discouraged by the nerf to rerolling toons for a good loot box. I didn't reroll at all and got totally unremarkable gear from my box. It hasn't made levelling hard and at lvl 45 I'm nearly in all S gear or better.

Not only did I not reroll but I made a char before my main and didn't even benefit from the 1200 red diamonds at all! You'll progress at a casual pace instead of completely steamrolling everything but it becomes less noticeable the higher you get.

Also: a rank ~75ish clan wants to ally and do combined fireplaces at 930 EST on Tues/Thurs, anyone object to that?

I burnt out on the SEA version grinding for rare equips, soul crystals and re-rolling gear substats.
