Bought some high-end gear chests from the clan shop but they never showed up in my mail or inventory. Do they just automatically open and give you the item without any notification? Or have they just disappeared?

If you bought them from the clan shop they should show up in your inventory under usable items I think. If you bought it from the clan gift shop you just threw away a bunch of blue diamonds

PBC might be able to gift them back to him if they went into clan storage.

In other news, we need to start forming Goon groups for the boss spawns so we have a chance at getting some of these page drops.

I need a hot take on Spellsinger vs Spellhowler

Edit: I got a Warrior to 31 finally and made him an SK. Survivability is primo, damage is absolute garbage. Not sure if that's my CP (46k at 33) or just the class tho.

Someone on the L2R reddit made reference to a patch that changes it to 100% chance sometime around the 180 level cap if you're willing to wait.

Definitely. My equipped SR is only lvl 6, so might as well wait.

Banhammer is officially top 50 on the server! We also just hit clan level 11 so we got 5 more slots for people. Don't forget to max your adena donation every day so we can hopefully participate in fortress siege next week (which requires a 5m+ bid, so we need that :10bux:).

When we fill up and need to kick people, I kick inactive, low-contributors first. If you can't hop on everyday that's fine but you might be better off in the alt clan, BanGavel - we really want to keep the most active, highest-contributing people in Banhammer.

The High-Grade Equipment boxes from the Basic Items tab in the clan shop (the 3 per month ones). I'm assuming they just auto opened and the gear went straight to my inventory, which is fine but I like the suspense of opening them :smith:

So I'm overthinking the crap out of which accessory set to start working on, but now that I'm lvl 108 on my Battle Mage I figure it's time to pick a set and start working towards that sweet 5 piece bonus. Right now I'm just wearing a mishmash of whatever S and R stuff came out of login reward boxes.

According to a post on Reddit the sets get second bonuses in an upcoming patch. I'll list all the sets with current bonus/second bonus.

Arbol: Combo Duration/General Damage (other posts suggest that refers specifically to auto attack damage)
Black Ore: Crit Resistance/Damage to Monsters (not a lot of details on that one)
Elven: Stun Resistance/Hit Rate
Moonstone: M Def/more M Def?
Nassen: Move Speed/Evasion Rate
Phoenix: Slow Resist/HP Rate

I looked on a SEA server and there appears to be no clear consensus but Arbol and Elven are the most popular for Battle Mage followed by Nassen. I saw a bit of everything though.

From what I hear the endgame is mostly PVP and Stun Resist is king in PVP. But the auto attack damage boost from Arbol is super appealing and Nassen's move speed bonus is applicable right now instead of in a far off patch.

The only thing I'm missing from a full 5 piece Nassen set is a second ring.

As a result of the generous events etc going on lately, I have about 2,500 red diamonds burning a hole in my pocket. I've already maxed my inventory, what is the next best bang-for-buck to use them on? I've heard extending hot time or resetting quest scroll daily limit are good options?

Every day I:
1. Reset subquests once (50 diamond)--extra ~60k adena on lvl 50 A scrolls
2. Do one extra arena battle (10 diamond)--20% faster honor rank
3. Reset daily dungeon once especially if it is armor/accessory upgrade stones or enhance scrolls or selectors.

Two 15 minute Hot Time increases are probably the best thing. Price goes up after 30 minutes worth. Daily dungeon refresh on days with upgrade stones is supposed to be another, although not until you can do the 3 or 4 stone difficulties.

I’m kind of in the same boat though. Wish I could buy another 200 inventory slots so I didn’t wake up to a full inventory. Apparently the cap goes up to 400 during the level 180 cap patch cycle.

On an unrelated note, why in the gently caress is the reward for 100% completing a zone's codex entries, just more cores for that zone that by definition you don't need?

I think it depends on the zone, some of them have boss summoning stones at 100% iirc.

Invited.

Just a heads up, if you apply without posting (or better, coming into the discord and pinging me) you'll probably get rejected because we get a lot of randoms that apply.

Also, please cap your daily adena donation, especially if you're in Banhammer - if you're doing all your daily activities, this really shouldn't be a problem. We won't be able to participate in Fortress Siege at all with our current adena income.

I heard SEA got the 180 patch about 6-8 weeks after release, so I'm guessing it'll come sometime in January. I don't know exactly how much is different, I don't think URs will even be in yet.

Easier to get using Boss Summon stones. The loot is a bit random but I find it helps if you survive the whole thing and deal a lot of damage

Now is a good time to start or to create alts (same account or otherwise) - there is an event starting today where you get an R weapon or armor for the first day login. You could just reroll until you get an R weapon, then pull your 10+1 box at level 10 and be off to a strong start regardless of what the 10+1 gives you. There's a new 10+1 box with a guaranteed R in it, one time only - so if you don't get unlucky with double R weapons, you can start with 2 R pieces, which is really nice!

Also note that the 1200 bonus red diamonds at level 10 now applies to every character, even on the same account and server so you get a shot on every character.

Looks like they ninja'd this out with the patch last night! Not sure if it's back to once per account for the 1200 red diamonds or what.

There's a guaranteed R in the shop for 1200 red diamonds as well. Is this +EV over just buying a 1200 diamond high-grade pack? Assuming you don't get a dupe of something you already have.

Edit: NM, I can't read. It's just the same 10 high-grade boxes but with at least one R guaranteed.

Edit 2: Bought it. All As except one SR, which was a dupe of the exact weapon I already have. :smith:

Has anyone come across a chart that shows the cost of levelling an S-rank item 1-30 vs an A-rank item? Preferably both adena and item XP cost.

Last rare slot I need is a robe and I'm starved for A-rank mage robes. If it's not an enormous difference in cost I think I'll start levelling some of the S-rank duds to combine.
