Yes
No guild missions in a while. I suppose everyone is waiting for the valencia update before start playing again. My only request is some form of fast travel. Horsies aren't fast enough!
I don't know how one of our guild member can have his character travel around without a horse/donkey. He be crazy.

I see the patch notes mentioned no XP loss if you're PK'd and have 0 or more karma. That's a change i can get behind

Got to lvl 50 today. From 46. 
I've been suggested to stay at catfishman until I hit 52. Does anyone have a better grinding spot? I'm a Warrior, suffering under heavy lag unfortunately.

I would NOT suggest this. The exp you gain in Mediah is way too nice. Also the loot is much better than catfish. What is your AP and DP? If you have at least 80 Ap 150ish dp you can do Helms, Manes. Both will drop some nice acc for you.
Manes will drop Belt of Shultz the Gladiator 3ap and 50 weight increase 50 Stam.
Helms will drop Scarla Necklace a 5ap 5dp neck.
If you want to stick to areas in Calp I suggest doing the hourly quest at Hexe and Abandon Monastery. Not only will you get a chance at the nice Mark of Shadow ring or the Witch earring. You can do the hourly quest for the tokens for nice 5ap earring and ring. Actually if your accessory are lacking? I may suggest you grab these quest rings/earring first.
150 DP for Helms?
I was 90 when some guildies brought me there... No wonder enemies are starting to hit like a truck on my Musa.
Welcome to the big boy's club, vyr!
Anyway, day one of my biz trip in central america where the internet barely works..
I had like 5 scrolls in my inventory and they'll all expire by the time I git home ;__;

As a level 50 noob, could you expand upon this?
What is Mediah?
What are Helms and Manes exactly? Sounds interesting.

Mediah is a 50+ region and the Helms and Manes are what are needed to kill to reach 52 and Sausans to reach higher.
Pre download of Valencia tomorrow but no changes as of yet.

Rum and EXP event extended into the 15th blackstone is ending tomorrow.
Sorry for the late reply. First off what class are you, and what is your AP/DP. If you just level to 50 and have not upgrade your equipment yet, that is step one.
Get a Yuria weapon if you have not already and start upgrading it with black stone weapons. You can safely enchant with out failing up to 7 for weapons and offhands. And up to 5 for armor.
Depending on your class you should get a certain set of armor. I like grunil due to the flexibility of it. But they do get expensive in that you would need some pricey gems to make them worthwhile.
The goal is to get a +15 weapon and +15 in all armor slots.
If you do not have great accessory, I would highly suggest anyone that need a 5 ap earring and 5 ap ring do the hourly quest for them. They are repeatable and quite quick to gather the needed tokens. And remember each respective location drops either the mark of shadow ring or the witching earring which sales for 12 mill each.
This game is all about grinding and farming to progress. Do the above and you will be netted with both black stones armor and weapons, relic shards, silver, and hopefully some nice juicy accessories.
Mediah is the semi new expansion east of Heidel. New zones, mobs, towns such as altinova. Now these mobs is definitely harder than places like catfish and mansha forest. So if this is your first char, and lacking in gear? Do what I suggested first.
Helms and Manes are mob located in the semi new zone. They can be quite hard for fresh 50s who is lacking in gear. But depending on your class you can farm there quite easily.
Ok 150 might be pushing it lol.150 dp depending on the class I should say. You can get away with a lot less depending on your class. I would not go lower than 100 DP though. Getting all your armor to at least enchanted to 10+ should be very possible. Its mainly the ranged mobs that give us fits. The melee mobs can be dodge,block,avoided. But if you are lacking in DP, those ranged mobs plinking at your backside hurts....
all graphics on high/max settings never had crashes with my nvidia 970 graphics card
testing out playing with new/refurb power supply from evga and my old nvidia 560ti with all graphics settings on low, i'm getting client freezing crashes riding my horse to other towns entered calpheon just fine but started riding towards Keplan and game crashes. Frustrating cross RMA for video card won't show up till monday ish for new/refurb 970 card.
I wonder if something happened to my one of my two memory sticks, or what else is problem. I always heard people say they had crashing issues but I never did until now.

I'm still interested in the game but don't really have the time to play with the other things I have going on right now. Does someone else want to take the reins? Preference would go to MasterXtech, Jayhawk, Sattari, or another Officer.
Kind of had the GM role dropped on me and wasn't really a responsibility I wanted, but I tried.

My picks are either Sat or Sayloo. and only because Xtech hasn't been around much either lately but I would be fine with him too.

I took advantage of the XP event and got my Musa to 50 as well:
Both of them are geared similarly:
They both Have Yuria Weapons, they both have Bares Accessories. Warrior has Yuria Sword to 15+ so that's good.
They both have full Grunil, and that is where I've come into trouble. As I got a lot of armor stones my durability went down, and buying the grunil was expensive. It has made me really poor. So now I have 2 lvl 50 characters in grunil who are not ready for Mediah it seems. I don't want to give up on using grunil, but it's clear; I need to find a more economical way to get them both to 50.
The good thing about having 2 lvl 50s is that I can camp them in opposite sides of the world so dailies are worse to do.
I don't have any horse or wagon, and that is beginning to become a problem.
Thirdly, I'm not making money with my workers. Musa is Skilled #4 in cooking now and is getting good at making bear, and my workers have made thousands of wood logs and ores and potatoes and wheats, but it doesn't sell on the trading post. I've gotten a few workers to Artisian and many of them to professional. I have probably 50-100 contribution points invested in Heidal, and I have nodes that connect Trent-Calpheon-Keplan-Glish-Heidal-Altinova, so I got a long trade route. Just not sure what to do.
I did my first red nose boss scroll today and I got some black stones so that was nice.
Levelling to 50 on Musa was incredible fast and easy compared to Warrior. I don't know if Warrior is weak, but Musa has so strong AOE. I could just keep spamming this AOE bladestorm attack and I'd never run out of energy. It went crazy fast. Compared to Warrior is just slow.
But I want to hit 56 on Warrior. My goal is to be ready for his awakening weapon!
Hey Vig,
I will try to answer your question best I can.
Right off the bat, Warriors with awakening are freaking amazing, lets get that out of the way. You mention you want to stay on your warrior for 56. Lets stick to this subject first. First off great job on getting 50 and also getting a +15 yuria longsword. I would suggest to get the work shop in keplan so you can upgrade that Yuria to the blue version which gives +1 attack speed. Get 2 attackspeed gems x 2 into the gnil gloves will give you a cap of 5 attackspeed. This is very important for a warrior. Crit is not as important since most of your heavy hitters has a 100% crit on them.
Continue to grind on warrior is pretty straightforward. Gather mobs with ground smash, kill with Scar, use spinning slash when needed. This will be your life in the PVE grind. But most class have similar rotation they do over and over. So dont get dishearten. There is a few areas you can solo in Mediah as a warrior but before we discuss that, we need to address one important thing. Your equipment.
I am a huge supporter for PVE all class needs to maximize AP over anything else. But you also need Acc. You can either get accuracy with off hand or with accessories. I highly suggest getting the off hand shield "Vangertz". This will give you accuracy with each enchant and I would suggest you get it to at least +10. Having all the AP in the world does not mean anything if half of your attack misses.
In regards to your rings and earrings. I really suggest you do the hourly quest for tokens at both Hexe and Abandon Monastery. Not only will you get a 5 ap accessory for your troubles with the token quest, but you will get chances at relic shards, Mark of Shadows/witch earrings, and black stones. I found a few rings while farming those token quest.
Stick with the Gnil, it is a very flexable set, and there is acutally a minigame "aminity" game you can do in Altinova with the armorer NPC where you can buy each piece for 80k to 100k depending on the piece you need.
Crafting is a great way to make supplemental money. But grinding is the best way to make money in this game by far. Not to mention will net you accessories, armor, black stones, etc. Helms is a very friendly place for warriors. And this place drops gnil, accessories, and trash that vendors for a lot. Once you upgrade your gear a bit, Elric shrine is great for warriors and net a ton of money that is even on par with places like Sasusans.
Hit me up in game and I can go more into detail for ya.
