Obligatory: The cake is a lie.
*Clears throat*

Anyways, I might have to dust Dlynn off to join the karu romp. Might be fun afterall, guess I'll have to log in later and work out the kinks and timings of the new combat system for myself. Provided I can tear myself away from my new fort long enough to do so. And I guess the wedding will be a good escuse to get my butt online later tonight.

[Seriyu]

I lied, no new update today. I'll get one out eventually, although it won't be dungeon running unless the wiki is back up by then, which isn't an unrealistic expectation.

Also if you missed it, Karu run later this week. I forget if it's transferred to thursday(today? Or next week?)(Tuesday? The day that increases dungeon drops) or if we're doing it on saturday like originally planned.

[Girlinhat]

The current plan is to run Karu on Saturday the 11th.  After that, we'll be running Karu every Tuesday every week that we can find players for it.

Karu is an annoying dungeon to get into, you have to collect all the glowy bits and everything.  And then once you get in there, you're not 100% guaranteed a drop - we're all after the Exploration Page 3, for Ice Spear skill - it drops from the boss somewhat randomly.  But Tuesday offers a daily buff of increased dungeon drop rate, so this expensive, vital page is more likely to appear.

Pg 3 is an expensive page.  I figure we'll keep running this dungeon until everyone in the guild has it.  After that, we'll sell the extra pages and push the profits towards guild funding.  Not to mention that there's several other hefty rewards in the chests, which will sell for quite a bit, or otherwise be useful to the guild.  The Dragon Fang is a two-handed sword of pretty massive power, and then Red and Blue upgrade stones are always valuable.

So I'm currently away from my computer for another few days, but I'd like to know in advance what I have to do to catch up to the quest bits that are new. Almost brand new character, and I remember very little of what I did before the Europe server went.

I really have no idea what to do.

[Seriyu]

All I'm gonna say is if you really don't feel like doing generation quests (G quests for short, they're storyline quests and the general metric for how far a character has progressed), don't feel compelled, although I'd finish up to G2 at least to get a transformation skill started,  and they do get harder the longer you wait. Aside from G quests there's nothing you really absolutely HAVE to do.

This game, while pretty quest light, also pretty much delivers them to you via owl, so you really don't have to worry about knowing the location of sixteen quest starting NPCs before you get started. Just do quests that seem interesting, and maybe make a note of doing the first two generation quests at least, asap.

[Graknorke]

Okay, G1 and G2 then. Do they scale to level or is it time based?
I already started a little of G2 so I guess that's what I'll be working on.

[Seriyu]

They do not, which is good because G1 without any scaling is a tiny hell. Admittantly G2 could probably use a buff. Of note is that if the quests you've done previously were on UK mabi, your progress will not be carried over, you'll have to do G1 again. It's not really an issue because we've got plenty of people that are happy to help with it.

[Skyrunner]

On the other hand, G9~G14 does scale, so you're in for a large hell if you're just over 500, or over 1000. xD Oh the defense and protection ...

[Seriyu]

Note that 500+ takes aaaaages to get to, so yeah don't feel like you have to rush. And on top of it unless you're going alchemy G9-G14 really don't give you anything terribly nice, barring one notable exception that you'll need a small army for ANYWAY, and will be pretty nasty irregardless of what level you are.

Also server going down for maintenance, two hours, then an update on server status.

[Patchy]

I thought the level cutoffs were at 100, 300, and 1000? The wiki appears to be down though, so can't check to verify at the moment.

[Seriyu]

I think it's 100 300 500 and 1000 but it only gets really bad at 500 and 1000?

[SirAaronIII]

Sorry, Biddy, couldn't get the 100k for the Falcata, because of the Thing with the servers previously mentioned. Also I ragequit at telebandits when it did come back up, so I'll get it tomorrow.

[Girlinhat]

Hopefully my internet will be more stable tomorrow as well.  Would like to prof my bow and upgrade before Karu, and need some time to prepare supplies as well.

For everyone participating in Karu - set aside free time.  It's a rather long haul, enough so that some people may have to take short breaks for bathroom and snacks.

But on the plus side, winemaking is fixed, which means that Marketplace Modification Coupons are on the market again.  I picked up a pair for 620,000 total, and am using them to upgrade my Highlander Long Bow.  For those unaware, this is a very powerful bow obtained from Peaca Intermediate or from random Ancient drops.  Properly upgraded (with the rare coupons) it gives very high attack and/or crit, and gets +200 range after gem upgrades.  It's going to provide ridiculous buffs to my stopping power.

And if anyone finds a hefty-sized Jasper, save it for me!

[SirAaronIII]

How big is hefty? I think I have some jaspers, but I'm not sure if they're as big as you want.

e: 1.19, 2.21, and 3.61 cm. Any of these sizable enough?

[Girlinhat]

4cm, but Jasper occur on the beach in clear daylight, which is like always, so it shouldn't be difficult to spam metalurgy and get some gems.
