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.

I've been maintaining my own small worker empire, so I can give you a few quick tips. Common low level materials will never earn you much money, and some of them are hard to sell. You'll earn more money if you process the materials, especially all the way to sturdy plywood or pure crystals. But that takes a lot of energy, and for sturdy plywood and pure crystals you also need a very high processing level to even gain the knowledge to do it.

What I suggest is putting workers on specific nodes with rarer materials. Here are some of the ones I'd recommend:
- Lynch Farm Ruins - Excavation (Trace of Savagery) - West of Heidel
- Ancient Ruins Excavation Site - Excavation (Trace of the Earth) - East of Heidel
- Ancient Stone Chamber - Excavation (Trace of the Earth) - South of Western Guard Camp
- Behr Riverhead - Mining (Tin Ore, Powder of Earth) - South of Calpheon
- Abandoned Iron Mine - Mining (Zinc Ore, Platinum Ore) - Close to Altinova
- Omar Lava Cave - Mining (Zinc Ore, Platinum Ore) - Northwest of Altinova

For some of these, you might have to talk with the node manager in order to gain knowledge about the gathering node so you can use it.

Another thing you could do with workers is get White Cedar Timber and Acacia Timber from the Elric Shrine and Stonetail Wasteland nodes, process that into plywood, and make Mediah Timber Crates in Trent. If you've got a large trade route set up, you can sell those crates for quite a lot of silver. Adding in various bonuses (distance bonus, high price at node, and bargaining bonus), you'll earn more than 100k per crate. I'm sitting on around 160 timber crates which I'll sell once Valencia is out (trying to maximize distance bonus).

And I'll mention one more way to earn money which I don't think too many people are aware of. This is only good if you've got a high amount of max energy though. Alustin in Velia lets you exchange energy into energy potions, and these sell for quite a lot on the marketplace. You'll ideally want the highest value energy potions (which means you'd have to exchange in 200 energy at a time), and those sell for around 1.3 million silver each during the weekends on my server. What I do is I've got a bunch of alts on my account, and every few days I'll log in as them to exchange energy into potions and put them on the marketplace.

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.

I will whip our members into shape and lead us to glory to capture Alejandro's Farm!

Thanks to all that showed up to the guild scrolls tonight. I will try to get us more scrolls more often. I shall not rest until you all get some Liv boxes!

 

[mintylurb]

Guild boss battles just isn't the same without xtech yelling and dying.

 

[Jayhawk]

Xtech's contract ran out since only GM could renew. Same with mine. Can't help with guild bosses with expired contracts!

 

[masterxtech]

I nominate satori

 

[Jayhawk]

I nominate satori

Me too. Long may he reign!

 

[satori]

Well yall got your wish!

Anyways the patch notes are insane guys. I hope they give us a skill reset because yikes. Topper your zerker changes out of this world! And yay my Ranger now has an actual iFrame muahaha.

Link to notes

Way too long to post here so check it out guys.

Also here is a link for info how to get a free 7 day outfit for completing a simple Node war tutorial.

 

[mintylurb]

Oh gawd.. zerk..we're going to be seeing more spinning zerks, aren't we..
And where's my valk iframe buff!

 

[zugzug]

GAF guild spending 20 million x 2 like it ain't nuthin at all naw.
Not even sure we can afford Alejandro's farm at all. No Sir.

 

[Wyndstryker]

Well, we do need to stop changing leadership so often lol.

Is it even possible to inject funds into the guild? Many guildies are probably billionaires.

Nope can't add monies to the guild. If we really want money in the guild people have to start participating in extra large gathering missions. It's worth twice the amount of kill missions. Could be making over 10 million a day for the guild.

Yup. Can do extra large gathering mission tonight. I'm down for mining 100 rough stones!

 

[Jayhawk]

I think it was a medium or large gathering mission I activated once where it was something like 1200-2000 logs? It seemed like the extra large missions expect 15-20 active participants making large contributions towards the mission. That would be tough to do frequently with the type of membership in the GAF guild.

Well, we get around 10 - 15 doing guild bosses. So, just announce we'll be doing a guild boss battle and when everyone shows up, do a large gathering mission instead.

time to kick everyone go back down to a 30 man clan

Ninja awakening with Kunoichi at the end

My thoughts exactly

http://bbs.black.game.daum.net/gaia/do/black/gm/read?articleId=140&pageIndex=1&bbsId=BDN003

Date is the 23rd of this month but this is for awakenings though. I can't wait for footage of both awakenings.

 

[mintylurb]

Yeah..kunoichi with that kind of weapon just doesn't look right ;/
I really should've picked warrior as my main..his giant sword looks so good ;0~

 

[Vyrance]

Started downloading the update, then it says I had a corrupt file. Now it's redownloading the whole game ><

Hey guys,
Does anyone have any tips on tamer PvP? I'm lvl 55 and get crushed regularly. 120/162 ap/dp so at least half the time encounters should be fair, but I really suck. I've watched some videos but nothing is really clicking.

Also, how is the guild going? I'm on Uno, but just curious to see how or if any of you are still enjoying the game.

 

[Topper]

I kinda like that this is less flashy then the rest, looks cool.

Just a heads up I might not be on as much for the next month or so, I have to move by august so I'm busy trying to find a place to live.

My wife plays a tamer and I been following this guide here

All I know is tamers are underrated. They have great dps and are pretty damn slippery. Really nice damage with the bolt/jolt canceling into either trample or whiplash, into bolt/jolt. Make sure you get 5 attackspeed asap.

As per the guild for some of us it is still going strong. We have a few active members that are regulars. I am hoping more comes back for node wars and the likes.

Ah good luck tops. Hope you find one soon.

Hey thanks for the feedback! My crit is maxed but AS is super low, it sounds like that may be my main problem. Explains why I don't CC players as often as I expect in combination with cc resist. may also be effing up the bj combo cancel, get stuck in the end animation regularly.

Wish I could help out with the guild, but alas.

Welp, time to try tamer. Anyway, good luck with the moving, tops. I'll miss your spinning move.

Tamer is fun...you get high DPS AND weird innuendos. also primes you for power levelling when ninja comes out.

I'm too cheap to go livert short sword tho, assuming we are getting awakened weapons this summer.

Looks friggin awesome! That poor tamer, started quivering at the halfway point <3

Ok so guild boss scrolls are bugged. Or if these changes are intended has hamstrung the guild's ability to run boss scrolls. It is tied to the size of the guild. So we can only accept extra large missions. I will be removing inactive members. If you come back please whisper myself or an officer for a reinvite.

I will be updating a list of names that can be contacted for an invite.

I am also curious the amount of people that might be interested in trying a node war. If you can pm me so I can get a head count to see if we have the numbers to take a node.

Here is a link regarding information regarding node wars etc.

 

[Jayhawk]

Feel free to remove me from the guild. I can't believe how much my hype has died down.

 

[Topper]

Can't believe I was at work when all those livertos went on sale. I will never get one lol.

 

[Vyrance]

Lol poor topper. Yea seemed like they put up like 200-300

 

[Wyndstryker]

It will probably be a till like the patch after valencia when I'll ever get a liverto

Oh well. Still need to hit 50 lol

 

[RedFury]

Game looks fun. Have a full time job and family, how viable is it to play alone? Main draw for me is the combat. Is it possible to still play with gaf without being in the guild? Still want to play and interact with others when given the opportunity but don't want to hold down the clan either. Also this would be my first MMO.

It's impossible to hold down the clan, any member can contribute in their own way. Hell I probably solo the most in the clan and definitely one of the most casual. (Thats why I'm still not lvl 50)

But yeah it's still possible to do almost anything outside of a clan.

What would you suggest the 30 or 50 tier?

 

[Via Purifico]

What would you suggest the 30 or 50 tier?

In my honest opinion the 30 tier.
It's really easy to make money and if you're making a new account you gain achievements which gives you millions in silver when you reach certain levels.

You can buy a nice horse for a good price if you search good enough on the stable market.
Furnish can be bought on the marketplace and by NPCs.

Sweet will get. Now time to spend 3 hours in character creator. How many characters can I make?

6 which might increase when the ninja class drops. Also, gear other than weapons are not level or class locked so you can swap them with your alts.


Ninja and tamer share the shortsword and Valkyrie and warrior share the longsword. Witches and Wizard share the same staffs too.

 

[nataku]

I haven't played in a little while, but looking through reddit since the siege wars went in really makes me not want to. All the guild emblems with the stupid memes and trump pictures would drive me crazy.

Worst thing developers can do is give players control over things like that. It will always end up full of stupid meme pictures or other offensive shit.

 

[HTVfanatic]

So brand new to this game. How do I go about joining the guild?

Game is really solo friendly IMO. You are really meant to do alot of things on your own since you can't trade with people. All endgame gear is obtainable soloable(although you will need to sacrifice one of your kids to RNG Gods). And theres afk fishing/workers you can have going while your away to help make money.

What sever are you on?

We are on US-Owren mostly on Calp 01.

You can whisper: Sattari, Vyrance, Sayloo, Rhydan, Azumba, to name a few that can invite you to the guild.

And if you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask.

 

[Wyndstryker]

Valencia Trailer, releasing the 29th.

I don't know why they thought it was a good idea to stick the Ninja in at the end of the video. Unless they stealth release it tomorrow that is like twisting a knife you already stuck in someone's back. The wait is real.

They're not coming with the patch apparently but "sometime soon"

 

[Hubb]

Yeah I saw the Tweet and I never really expected them to come at the same time. It is better business to space them and try to retain/get back as many players as possible. However, they could have used any of the other classes for the trailer, and for some reason they only used 3 classes and one of them was ninja.

Yeah... that was odd.

Hopefully july 1st they will be released.

 

[Hubb]

July 1st would be too good. I am expecting them to come mid July 13th or 20th if we are unlucky.

 

[Kalentan]

Does the Skill Reset "event" go away once the patch hits.
