Saronia be down?

**Ruin** · 2010-10-23 06:00

Is there a list somewhere that shows what stats cap at for certain levels?

Anyway im r26 GLA and have 95 VIT/STR, 64MND and 55DEX. Am I wasting stats? Or does anyone have any suggestions on how I could reassign?

Not to mention whenever I log in, it's seems almost eerily quiet, and the fact that all my lses are abandoned of active users.

Bleh, anyone on Kashuan wanna shoot me a pm, I need a new shell.

The complete lack of content outside of leveling to cap is a demotivater for me. I read the story/mission thread and even those seem broken or terribly implemented. I have no motivation to rank up now, because there isn't a reason to. There is nothing currently waiting at the 'finish line.'

What is considered the best solo class for DoW? I have Gladiator at R22 but it's really just becoming infuriating to progress solo and I refuse to make the jump into partying. I realize it's going to be a hassle at some point for any class but some classes like PUG, THM, CNJ, etc seem like they can handle their own a lot longer on. How are archer and others? I don't really care what class I end up doing, since crafting seems to be the way to go primarily (for now) but I need an efficient way to farm mats / shards / leves etc.

From what I've seen PUG seems to be able to survive the longest from the DoW jobs.

Pugilist has the most longevity when solo, though Lancer isn't that far behind. Really, though, any DoW class can do just fine with Shock Spikes, Second Wind, and Bloodbath. Archer has amazing damage output but has major issues with inventory management due to how many arrows you consume.

**Sephiroth** · 2010-10-24 00:35

Yeah I want to play archer but until I get another retainer I'm not even going to try. They should just make arrows stack to 9999 or something.

**BerenTebogo** · 2010-10-24 00:56

So archer is the best dps? What would you say is next?

All of the DD with Feint are pretty close.

Can unique items not be sold / traded?

**miokomioko** · 2010-10-24 02:33

Unique (Rare) = You can only possess one.
Untradable (Exclusive) = You can't trade or bazaar it.

Just keep in mind that you can't bazaar or trade any equipment that has less than 100% durability.

Does Gathering+ equip highly effect crystal/shard drop rate?

**Sephiroth** · 2010-10-24 08:53

I can definitely say the drop rate on eye patches was nerfed the other day. We got none last night from about ten wight kills. There did seem to be a lot more wights running around La Noscea however. I had eight on my screen at one point.

And is anyone elses signature not updating? Mine hasn't updated today or yesterday.

**plue** · 2010-10-24 12:53

Mine isn't updating either.

I need to know the difference between "ocean fishing," "coastline fishing," and "shallow ocean fishing."

**Zounder** · 2010-10-24 20:43

I know this has been discussed, but I can't find it, and while I know the general answer I have something more specific to ask.

I know that if you have full inventory when getting leve rewards, you can go back later and pick up the reward after removing items from you inventory.

Question 1: Does the same go for "unique" items when you already had possession of one copy of the item?
Question 2: Do you have to go back to the same crystal where you got the leve reward from?

I completed a leve reward with Frayed Cotton Doublet Vest as a reward while already having one, and I just now noticed it was unique and never got the second one. However, i can't remember which crystal I got it from.

Is the main storyline quest at R26 really the last one in the game at the moment?

**Carraway** · 2010-10-25 00:12

No, there are confirmed quests at R30 and R35 at least.

**BerenTebogo** · 2010-10-25 00:17

Ok, thanks.

**Celeras** · 2010-10-25 07:39

Confirmed something ive been observing lately, don't know if it was talked about already.. which it may have been since its pretty obv.

858MP, 90MND. Kill something and get a physical level. Still 858MP. Remove 2 of my MND rings to give me 80MND which correctly updates on the stat sheet, still 858 MP. Allocate points to give me 81 MND, 864MP. Re-equip MND rings to give me 91MND, 864MP.

Are stats from gear not doing anything to HP/MP pools?
