Is it still setup where you can't save up enough energy to craft gear without buying the special cash-only energy?

So if baseless speculation is all we have, we might as well treat it like fact.

I think Taz said earlier that you no longer use energy to craft, but rather special dungeon drops.

Ah, sorry. I didn't see that today's posts started on the last page.

And I'm pretty sure the top-tier stuff used to cost more than 100 energy to craft, so you couldn't make the best gear unless you paid for crystal energy somehow. I guess it doesn't matter anymore, though.

You could with crowns, but you had to deal with the helpfulness usually expensive tendency of a fully player-based energy market.

Yeah thinking back on it, that was my concern. The guild I was in was mostly tools, so I'd keep starting a lot of boss runs and inviting guildies at the boss for cheap loot and things like that, but no one else ever did it. I'd spend lots of energy getting everyone else loot and money, and barely broke even, myself. Now I remember why I quit MMOs.

I'm Aklyon ingame Taz, and while it seems a bit more menu-laden than before, I'm liking it so far.

Also elevators are free now so you don't have to worry about energy I probably should've mentioned that earlier!

Nice! I had a ton of friends playing this game, and everyone ended up quitting because of the elevators. Great game, but when you only have one day a week to get everyone together, it sucked to have to quit SK after a half hour because everyone used up their Energy.

How is it nowadays?

I ended up stopping slightly before the Twin-Turret boss was launched because just grinding Vanaduke's lair for cash was getting boring.

For anyone still on the fence, yeah, this basically removes every arbitrary "why does this exist" complaint I had in the game. Weapons now take more then a day to hit max level, along with other resources, energy is gone by and large, minerals are now used for crafting little foods for your pokemon esque buddy. Difficulty levels are always great.

My only complaint is the new GUI, as awesome as he is I don't see why I need a huge image of my character's head taking up about a sixth of the screen.

I'm not joining up with Taz yet, I still need to determine a few things before I decide what to do. Rest assured I'll be along in some form eventually though. Hopefully with my big 4 star gear guy.

energy is gone by and large

Hrm. I converted all my cash to something like 60k worth of CE before I stopped. Is it worth anything?

So, er, I kind of stopped playing not too long after I made this topic. I should probably edit the OP to contain more relevant information.

So, anyone want to have a go at writing a new OP for this thread? I'll edit it in myself, I haven't played in forever so I have no context of my own to really add though I may edit for grammar if necessary.
