So I'm not sure why. Especially since I'm two days short of getting it on my attendance reward but while I was at work today an high quality accessory box appeared in my inventory. Did that happen to anyone else?

I certainly did not receive another high quality accessory box. Lucky! lol, hope you get an ogre ring.

I feel like I'm really high level really quickly. I'm not sure if this is good or not. I'm currently level 46. A lot of the levels seem to come by normally when I'm out questing. For instance I was killing bandits for 1 quest earlier today and of course shortly after handing it in I find another two or three that sends me back to the same place. I usually only need 1 type but I end up slaughtering everything in the vicinity...

I have all these junk exchange items... I just cashed in 600 of something for about 600,000 silver. On the way to this NPC though I find another quest that wants me to kill something... On the way to kill that I find another quest... So many distractions.

When do I get my spear any way? I picked this class because they get a spear at some point, I'm guessing pretty late but then again I'm close to level 50 so easily.

I should really take time out from questing and do some other stuff I guess. Then again, half of the other stuff is management or AFK type of stuff.

Will leveling slow down by a lot when I get kicked from exp servers?

56 is when you get your awakening weapon. Lvling comes to a slow pace by 57 and the real grind begins.

Yeah it will. Both from being a higher level and not having a 200% exp buff on all the time.

Is it worth spending some time on an ult to get the most of the exp boost right now?

Warrior looks great. I want to make one too.

Is that a fishing boat on day 13?

I NEED THAT! STUPID FISHING QUESTS ARE GONNA KILL MY CURRENT BOAT!

New area is coming out on the 25th. Coming with that is a better boat that doesn't run out of life. Takes a lot of mats though so better get on that.

It'll probably take you 8-10 hours to get that if you have high enough gathering. Never mind, didn't realize it was 10>10>1. Thought it was 5>10>1, it is going to take a bit to gather the logs.

Whatever the weapon you need either the SAME weapon +0 or Memory fragments to repair MAX DURABILITY.
I recommend buying from loyalty shop Artisan's Memory bottles 1bottle/400loyalty points, these will triple the effect of MAX DURABILITY repair.

Go to a blacksmith -> repair -> recover max dur. ->

Place your +++ weapon that needs repair in the LEFT slot, and the +0 on the RIGHT slot, and if you have Artisan's Memory you press Artisan Memory button and your +++ weapon will be added +30 to MAX DURABILITY, if you do not have Artisan's Memory, press the Recover Max Dur. button instead but it will only add +10 to MAX DURABILITY.

The +0 weapon or armor will ALWAYS be used up and disappear when repairing MAX DURABILITY.
Thx so much for this. I never noticed the Max Durability thing at the armorer.

Dam, so expensive! But I did it haha. Feels good to have my main weapon back :D

Is the new class type coming out on the 25th as well?

You know, the more I get into this game, the more I love it! I really enjoy how laid back the pace can be if you choose to play it that way. Therapy!

And all of the systems that have nothing to do with combat (despite the fact that this game has the best MMO combat ever, IMO).

Really great, and only getting better.

And uh, The friend gift pass is currently only $9.99 (and you aquire some unique items if they get level 30). Gonna have to go ahead and get this for a few of my friends that are into MMOs (money where the mouth is).

The girlfriend and I started playing the game last week. We are helplessly addicted. After only just reaching level 52 we are about to head to the desert for the first time. We took our sweet time exploring every nook and cranny, and oh boy, there sure are many.
We are finally ready to join a guild, and I'd be honored for it to be US GAF. Is there any way to make that possible?

Send a whisper to Sattari, Azmaki, Rhydan, or Vyrance. You can also post your character names here and we can try inviting yas.

How is this game as far as 10 dollar entry fee tier goes?

You'll get a lot of play out of that $10. Or do you mean compared to the higher packages? Only nice thing out of higher packages is probably the horse whistle, other than that you don't really need the other stuff. You can catch your own horse as well. Have you tried out the game at all yet? I'm sure some of us have 7-day trial passes sitting around if you want to get a feel for the game.

Really depends what you are looking for. I'd recommend getting a 7 day free trail and seeing if is a good fit for you. I would only get the $50 package when they do their sales and it is 50% off.

I'm sure there are people who do it, but just spending $10 on the game is pretty tough. There are a lot of cash shop items that make your life a lot easier. Pets/weight increase are the two biggest things.

Thank you so much! Character names are Nalanie and Aldricht respectively. One thing to keep in mind is that both use an uppercase i rather than an l.

Played off and on all day today. Really enjoying it so far need to read up on some of the little systems the game has still but this seems to be right up my alley.

Are you guys going to be on tonight? I get home from work around 6 pm est so I can add you two after that

Yeah, we'll be there! We've also just joined the Discord linked in the OP, that should make communication easier.

I am currently at work but my wife is at home. If you guys are on she can invite you. Just whisper Sattari, she is cooking for me on my char :p

And welcome all the new comers to the guild. We are a fun, laid back bunch. Do not hesitate to ask any question about the game.

Those armors look really cool. Feel free to add me. I'm around your level too with my main character though I took the rush and grind while I have exp server approach and am sometimes doubling back to do easy quests. :D

Man, I've easily put over 100 hours into this game and the furthest I've gone is wherever the Catfishmen are. I ran in and ran out. But that's what I love about the game, everybody can play at their own pace and do whatever floats their boat.

This weekend I'm going to start gathering the logs I need to make my new sailboat. So many logs. Apart from that the only thing I'm short of is pine and the designs. That'll just take time.

Does anyone know what the daily quest will be for the designs? Combat? life skills? Just rocking up and asking?

i really wish the game did a better job of putting you where you logged out.


apparently when I logged in today I was far enough away that I was put on a fishing boat.

I was just logging in to get the daily, but now after 30 minutes have gotten quite aways away from where I was @_@

where I started and where I am....

I am the upper right boat lol

I am hoping the npc eventually circles back around.

The daily from my understanding is a pretty simple task. You can do the story quest line that launches with the expansion and get a decent number of the designs.

Tonight's haul was 1018 logs. Processing artisan 2. I ended up with 49 timber squares. So that's going to need (Very) roughly about 16k logs. Hmm. That's much better than I thought. The 1018 logs tonight was from two characters. One with pro 5 gathering and one with apprentice 9. I have 10 characters I can gather with. I think I'll see if I can get a large chunk of it done in the next week :)

I have enough flax fibre, plenty of mats for steel and my pine collection is coming along nicely.

No rush though. It's nice to have longer term goals.

Yay. It took a while but I managed to breed my first tier 7 horse. From two level 30 tier 5s.

How do people get horses so fast that they rocket past you like they're glitching?

and I'm jelly. I just mated two tier 3's The male was my very first offspring I got from breeding from way back a year ago. Heh I was so proud I bragged about it in guild chat to Android and xtech. Like I was so proud. Finished off a female to mate with him. I got two tier 5 males. :( the exchanged male started at level 1 with instant accel skill that was a first for me.

Yeah your second question here its the combo drift and instant accel skill, that make them look like rockets. Instant Accel is bound to the F key and its just a turbo boost. Then if you get the Sprint skill you have the holy trinity of horse skills.

I just did some log gathering. I got 5 movement and 5 gathering. Magic axe. I was going around like a rocket. All those various event buffs you can eat and drink are really helpful. As was the +2 movement I got from the boardgame. Ended up with 400 logs by the time my 30 minutes ran out

I don't know if it's because I paid so little while it was on sale for the game but this game is super relaxing for me. It runs pretty well and is pretty. I l just enjoy looking at my character and watching her fight. Right now I'm just running around doing missions and I haven't really gotten bored. Perhaps because there doesn't appear to be an over reaching story I have to follow I also don't feel a sense of urgency and I kinda like it. However the black spirit just got some teeth and is super creepy now. I hope it looks different when it upgrades again because that's kinda bothering me.

I find the free costumes interesting. They give you a taste of what they look like, let you keep them for a week so you get used to wearing them and then take them away. I like the one I have (Lahr Arcien) well enough though that I might be willing to drop some money on it from the store at some point. I like the game overall enough that I don't feel a problem dropping some money in the shop. It helps I only paid $5 for the game of course but but if I do buy it's likely might just be costumes.

Here's what my character looks like now and this is the costume I'd be willing to buy. There was a one that looked like grass armor and one that looked all gold that I might be willing to buy at some point as well.

Honestly you are probably better off trying to snipe that costume off the marketplace/asking someone when they say they are taking requests to put up a costume. If you are going to spend money on the shop there are better things to spend your money on. Specially when a costume is around 20mil~, it might seem like a lot at the start but that is nothing.

Though if you want the green/yellow grass one, those can't be put on the marketplace.
