No one hear seems to have considered the super-cheap, equally combat-efficient alternative: Fomor Wands!

Commerce may take a while to work up to the point of self-sufficiency, but once you get yourself a wagon along with an extra 50k ducats for future expenses, you're practically set- a much lower than what you might face when budgeting yourself gold, frankly. Not only does the expense in funny-money mitigate the drain on gold (which can be put to many a better use), but it comes out of a pool of currency that is relatively useless, barring a few practical accessories for VIP subscribers, the occasional novelty, and a couple of priceless long-term acquisitions if you are completely insane.

P.S.

Krisslanza,

If you're worried about looking cliche as an elven gunner, why not invest in a gamyu Robe to help you stand out? 

The Armored Wizard one? I have a few of those. They do look kinda spiffy. Or do you mean something else?
And how does a robe make the role seem less cliche!?

The inventory bags only need Inventory Plus, and a few months ago they made Inv+ free for everyone, so anyone can use them!  And everyone should use them!

In particular, the potion bag is incredibly useful.  Anyone into blacksmithing (ie, everyone in B12) will appreciate an ore bag.  Firewood bags are also pretty damned useful for everyone - campfires are supremely underrated in general!

Really all of them are worth it. They will save you a TON of bag space. They take up a 2x2 area but yield a lot more room in return. The Ore bag immediately pays itself off, given a single ore takes up a 2x2 area.

Just be careful of certain quirks.  Like you can't put a merchant licence in any bag, and when handling spirit weapons you need them in your primary inventory.

OK, WE GET IT!

But, yeah, Fomor Wands.

[Seriyu]

So more white dragon info. His minions are Blade wyverns. What's so special about them? Unless they are attacking someone, they cannot be damaged without bow skills. So for all you prospective dragon hunters out there, either stick to old black dragon or get learning that bow. You'll need it! White dragon confirmed for archer dragon.

Sorry what?  Archery where?

[SirAaronIII]

Physis, weekdays 2-3 and 7-8 PM, weekends 1-2 and 10-11 PM. e: PST
Looks like roles might not be related to skill ranks, seeing as I visited the White Dragon and got... Sniper Squad. I mean, my ranged skills are totally higher than rF right?...... right?
But it's not just Blade Wyverns. The white dragon also has snowfield slayers which are like Korsek Raptors but not dragon-shaped. Instead of stomping, they'll lift their axes/swords for a couple seconds, then sweep in a half-circle in front of them and get their weapon stuck in the ground for another couple seconds (during which they can't be knocked back, so smash them then). Basically it's like the raptor stomp but does 100 damage instead of 55.

Also, the Russian blue cats are pretty good for inventory purposes.

[Ibid Straydrink]

Snowfield slayers = Vikings?

[Seriyu]

Nope, ogre dudes with ice swords wearing leather harnesses for some reason. They honestly are pretty cool looking but they're no viking.

From now on I think we'll be setting up with one set of people to attack black dragon, and one to attack white, as the times for both of them are either close together or directly on top of each other and the parts of both of them will be useful.

As always I will squeal and holler whenever the dragons are up. (Also sonli I got that ore transmuted for you, just a heads up, I've been gone a couple of days and didn't know when you sent it)

[alexwazer]

The white dragon offers generally better rewards than blacky. However, when we went yesterday, lag was horrible. It might be due to the sheer amount of players, but I suspect something else as lag was also rather bad in EP3 missions with the white dragon. So it might be the thing itself distorting space-time or some other witchcraft.

That being said, there was an update late last night and Nexon mentioned maintenance from their ISP leading to potential connectivity issues. So maybe it wasn't the dragon messing with the fabric of reality, but simply issues on the ISP side. I still prefer to blame the dragon because it gives an excuse to try and kill it. I'll be going back today to see if lag is any better.

On a mostly related note, the wiki has a nice chart for raid times. We might want to look into other raids that we could join, like sandworm, desert dragon or whatever if there is enough people going on a regular basis on channel 1.

Edit: Another thing, on a completely unrelated note. I just noticed something in the Nexon announcements: The Saga: Final Reward – Battle Pegasus Whistle. If you know what's good for you, you know that you want this. So anyone who's been slacking with G18 should start looking into it.

[Ibid Straydrink]

Lo, the Pegasus Whistle! Long hath I quested for this mythical trinket, which doth with it's worldly hold the spirit to summon the ethereal steed!

But will this reward be a constantly available (though presumably rare) drop, or is it something that is going once, going twice, gone..?

[alexwazer]

If it's anything like previous rewards and, if I understand this correctly, it's the regular final reward for G18. So anyone finishing all 10 episodes, at any time, would get the whistle. So no rush to finish this ASAP, although anyone playing Mabi would probably want it ASAP. I don't think it's a drop or anything random, but it could be a limited in time reward (doubt so). Usually whistles are meant to be readily available to as much people as possible in contrast with, say demonic weapons from dragons or daily EP.

I'm not 100% sure either way, but this make doing G18 even more interesting than it was.

[SirAaronIII]

I wonder if you could get more than one whistle...... Maybe, since you could get more than one of the flame mare whistle from the OX quiz thing. But this might not be the same thing.

It does not. I was being sarcastic.
