Dragon Nest

[Qalbert]

all i got was powders

[Iku]

Skip the video to the end after the loot screen. There is another chest that appear that showering you with loots. This chest does not appear in NA version.

I R MAD. REAL MAD.

[Rocl]

man, i could live without the gears, its the extra powders and accessories im jealous of

[Iku]

I did 14 Mino Nest runs today. I got an acient grimoire, a couple leathers and hoofs. I thought i did great. Then i logged on forum, watch that video.

I was watching the video thinking "ok its probably not that much more." then i watched them open the chest.


WHAT THE FUCK

[Lonely]

If it wasn't for those newbie gifts with the cash shop items you receive for playing 1 hour I wouldn't be playing now this game till nexon gets there shit together honestly. Dragons nest really is a wonderful game but its ruined by a horrible company.

[Larikun]

Was thinking, I was reading a thread on the Nexon DN forums earlier... guy asked about what if his group failed in Mino Nest.

His question was if that would count towards his runs for the week, Alteris (one of the Nexon folks) replied saying that you get 7 COMPLETIONS a week.

I was sitting in town earlier, someone asked for a mino run and I thought "wth shouldn't everyone be done with that already?" then it hit me, if we can only have 7 completions a week, what's to stop us from using say 30 seals a week, go in there down the first two bosses grab loots off them (powders/leather) and then exiting the dungeon before we fight big guy? I'm willing to use one of my attempts as a guinea pig to test the idea out, just it would finally make sense (in a Nexon sort of way) why they set up the dungeon as they did.

[Akiyama]

First run, group wiped.

Second run, got soem Earrings, which suck and NPC for more then I could get on Market.

Third-6th. Nada, just powders.

7th? Not even bothering, fuck that shit, maybe when it resets I'll try again zzzzzz.

Sucks for you. We never wiped on our runs. :3

@people complaining over missed wings.. I"m not even using mine.I should post that on the forum, and see if they're jelly. Those things are so god damn ugly and not even worth 5% move speed lol

And yeah, KR DN/MN getting that chest at the end is

[Lebzile]

Not to mention their mobs have have WAY less HP then ours, my Paladin already hits as hard as that Acrobat with Goddess Relic and no way does 5k damage take away half a mobs health in our version.

[Nerull]

Current costumes are lame. Maybe I'll buy some when we get these sets (in 2013):

I want a little crown gdi... :3

[Noobta]

@Mino nest on KR
The chest at the end has more drops the more people you have. This is one with 4 people.


And people in guild were talking about how NA got old mino, don't know the details but I think they changed all the nests a while back.

[Lebzile]

LIVE DAMN YOU LIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Rocl]

Did the first two generals drop like ... 4 minotaur pieces? I've seen them drop maybe one or two leathers in the whole seven runs, but they're like 100% on a random powder. Oh boy.

(And wtf at those mushrooms? god)

[Lebzile]

The mushrooms are a special crest, like Minotaur Crest Cow Strike, you make it, equip it, and gives you access to a special skill.

Special Crest. Nests/certain dungeons drop special plates which usually summon something. Mino nest one summons a giant mino that stampedes for 600~ damage. There's a dhaos laser at lv50, it's awesome

[Kiarax]

Honestly, I'm glad ours is supposedly more challenging then (if they really do have less HP in foreign versions). It's nice to finally have something that can actually kick your ass rather than just steamrolling everything on Abyss still. Just need to fix us getting completely shafted on drops, but I'm sure Nexon want it this way to keep people playing between content updates.

Also dibs.

[Lebzile]

Thank me later

Please experiment with this and give feedback on everything (check if any of the mods do not work, see if any of the instructions need to be reworded/clarified, etc.). I'll wait a few days before posting this on mmosite.com.

All files found here: http://www.mediafire.com/?6k7awcnrza2f7

Install Instructions:

1) Download the costume pack ("dn-costumes-v##-*") for your character's class.
2) Extract the zip somewhere and open up the folder.
3) Decide on which costume parts to use for your custom costume (one body, boots, glove, helmet, and leg file)
4) Copy the .pak files to your Dragon Nest install folder (e.g. "C:/Program Files/Nexon/Dragon Nest/")
5) Run Dragon Nest and remove all your costumes in-game.
6) Exit Dragon Nest and mix-and-match until you're satisfied ^_^

Quick FAQ

What is this?
These are mods to replace your in-game character costume with custom ones. All costumes used already exist in-game; these mods change the default costume's graphics to the graphics of the costume of your choice

Is this legal?
All these mods are client-sided only, meaning they only affect what YOU see (not what others see). Apart from making your character look more awesome/badass/cute/etc., they do not affect actual gameplay. From what I've heard, Nexon frowns upon client mods but historically hasn't banned anyone (except on Vindictus where they've banned for using nude mods apparently). Needless to say, use these mods at your own risk ;P

How can I replace my character's hair/weapon/wings/etc.?
These packs are only the simple drop-in replacement skins. For more custom replacements, see the costume guide here or request for something here.

How can I mod my current costume?
These packs replace the DEFAULT costume (e.g. no costume). If you want to replace the graphics of your current in-game costume, you will have to modify the DNCostumeConverter program and change "normal01"/etc. to the name of your costume. To figure out the name of your costume, use the DNModelBrowser program packaged in "dn-costumes-tools.zip". Otherwise, some trial-and-error may be needed. See below for more details.

How can I use the full-body costumes (e.g. school, china, etc.)?
The default costume is constructed from individual body parts, but those special costumes are full-body. The only way to use those costumes would be to wear a full-body costume and replace the .skn of that particular costume with the .skn of your desired costume. For more details, see the answer to the first question.

Costume mod file xxx.pak doesn't work!
I have not tested most of these .paks as there's far too many (for example, I currently don't even have wings or a hat on my character). Please let me know regardless and I'll modify DNCostumeConverter to exclude these (until a workaround is found).

Using DNCostumeConverter (advanced!)

DNCostumeConverter is a small program I wrote to automate the renaming and repacking process for costume .skn files. The source code is included in the "dn-costumes-tools.zip" download and it is licensed under GPLv2.
To use DNCostumeConverter, do the following (assumed on Windows):
1) Extract your Dragon Nest install's Resource##.pak files with quickbms (included in "dn-costumes-tools.zip"). See the Readme.txt file in the quickbms folder for more details. For DN-NA v16, Resource00.pak, Resource01.pak and Resource02.pak all need to be extracted.
2) Open up the command line in the same folder as the "DNCostumeConverter.jar" file. On Windows 7, you can shift-right-click in the folder. On other Windows versions, Start -> Run... -> cmd.exe -> cd *complete path to DNCostumeConverter folder*
3) Locate the "parts" folder containing the .skn files for the class you want to make .pak files for (e.g. if you extracted "Resource02.pak" to "C:\Resource02" and want to convert sorceress costume parts, look for "C:\Resource02\resource\char\player\soceress\parts ")
4) Make a new folder to store the output files (e.g. "C:\dn-costumes\")
5) Run:
java -jar DNCostumeConverter.jar <path to pakpack.exe> <extracted parts folder> <output folder>
For example (one line):
java -jar DNCostumeConverter.jar "C:\dn-costumes-tools\pakpack\pakpack.exe\" "C:\Resource02\resource\char\player\soceress\parts " "C:\dn-costumes\"
6) Find all the converted .pak files in the "packed" folder of your output folder
7) Get customizing!

Using DNModelBrowser (advanced!)

DNModelBrowser is a nifty tool (not written by me) that allows you to view (and animate) 3D models outside of the game. Its also very useful for viewing all the different costumes. The following instructions are just for doing that.
1) Move ALL your custom .pak mods to somewhere safe (outside of the Dragon Nest install folder). The only .pak files you should have in your Dragon Nest install folder are Resource00.pak, Resource01.pak, Resource02.pak, and Resource03.pak. Having custom .paks may cause DNModelBrowser to crash.
2) Run the "DNModelBrowser" program (included in "dn-costumes-tools.zip").
3) File -> Open... -> Select your Dragon Nest install folder (e.g. "C:/Program Files/Nexon/Dragon Nest/")
4) Wait for DNModelBrowser to finish loading all the files.
5) On the right sidebar, open up the folder of the class you want to view (e.g. resource -> char -> player -> sorceress)
6) Select the .skn file for the class (e.g. sorceress.skn) and Right-click -> Render Skin. Rotate the 3D model by click-and-dragging with your mouse.
7) On the right sidebar, open up the parts folder
8) Select the .skn file you want to render and Right-click -> Render Skin
9) Repeat until you are happy with your costume combo. You can always restart by rendering the class's .skn file or dummy .skn file (e.g. so_dummy.skn). You may also want to render a hair style (e.g. parts/so_hair02_pink.skn) and head (e.g. parts/so_head01.skn). Note that not all .skn files are supported by DNModelBrowser v1.
10) Click the drop-down arrow of the "Geosets" menu item and take note of all the costume parts you used. Those are the costume parts you want to grab from the downloaded costume mod packs!

Next?

That's all for now. Enjoy your costume mods and, if you have the artistic talent, go ahead and make custom costumes of your own (you will need to edit the .dds and .msh files with an advanced graphics editing program)! If someone figures out a way to do simple drop-in replacement for the full-body costumes, please share (I'm waiting for the school costume on my mystic).

Special thanks to Sething with his modding tutorial and Gintokii with his custom mods thread for inspiring this release!

Happy customizing!

Person from my guild put this together and was given the go ti share this around. Works pretty well from what I've noticed but I've only modded my Paladin so far.

[Kiarax]

Just tried it again and the chat filter remover is working fine now. I guess not removing it during the patch fucked things up (unsurprisingly). Name I wanted for my cleric was "offensive" so I had to risk it again...

[Qalbert]

what are you naming your cleric?

[Kiarax]
