Wishy-KT

Why is there not a fail-safe kind of mechanic that wont let you get 3 puppy knight eggs in a row on the same character from locked elite boxes? That was disappointing.

What is the "Mystery of Ancients" event? Searched forum and found nothing.

Currently with all my PvE gear that I have equipped, my unbuffed stats sit at the following: Attack 1000/1012 Crit 1474/1424 Accuracy 4763/4701 MA 2250 HP 19824 I really dont think thats too bad considering the apollon stuff isnt enchanted at all. All I would need to hit 20k hp is either a couple points in health, or the event npc hp buff thats always up. Any opinions? Gear isnt even totally socketed yet so I might benefit from more attack if I socket my last 8 slots with some power instead of precision. Even a few enchantment levels on the apollon pieces will get me 20khp

Should I go half/half? Or more power than precision? Also, is there a certain amount of accuracy I'll need? I can also invest my essence points in to PvE stats for the time being, and just switch them to pvp when I'm in evergale. Is going with +15 apollon instead of +10 harvesters going to be harder to purify; will I need more of a certain material to purify them than I would with harvesters? So pretty much itll be quick enough for me to get gray wolf accessories that it would not be worth enchanting apollon accessories? And finally, as an assassin if I dont have 20k HP unbuffed, is the AoE attack a physical attack that can be dodged or a magical attack that can be resisted? That might give me a bit of leeway on stats so that it would be easier for me to get in to a group for such. And my PvP gear is currently some +10 level 70 abyss stuff that I bought pretty close to release of that patch. So its not horrible but it definitely wont stand up to some plates or other sins/rangers in +15-20 75 abyss stuff. I also have +2-+4 IDL accessories and a +4 arena hat sooo I'm not doing tooooo bad on pvp accessories. Still rubbish but less rubbish than garbage.

So I'm level 73, always been here for the pvp. But since the release of the 75 level cap, i rushed to 73 with literally only fissure and luna during exp events in the hopes that I'd get to pvp sooner and was pretty sad to find out that due to the state of the game, a very casual player like myself is gonna have a much harder time gearing up to pvp with the way the current enchanting system works. My gear is decent enough for group instances assuming the opposing team isn't full +20 75ap etc. I have decided that I might feel more achievement by trying to gear up for pve and getting to the top there, while also hopefully getting decent exp along the way so that maybe by the time I'm 75, I'll have an easier time focusing on getting geared for pvp (which by then I'm sure 6.0 will be out so hopefully it'll be easier with what i understand will be a more level playing field). My question. What pve gear (73 assassin) should get me to a good starting point for maxing out my pve specs (i realize it'll still take tempering and omegas to get to the top)? Currently starting out with the following. +15 sophisticated frigida dagger/sword +15 sophisticated jerkin/legs And I've purchased a bunch of (from what i could tell) the highest tier apollon boots, gloves, shoulders and accessories. The armor pieces will be at least +10 in no time easily enough, and not sure if i should enchant the accessories if it'll be easier to get gray wolf or harvesters accessories before enchanting apollon accessories will give me any benefit. My next question for anyone that knows assassin specs for these instances, should i be going with the classic attack/crit manastones or will i benefit more from socketing power and precision (as i have plenty of +7's)? And lastly, what recommended stats should i have without buffs for attack/crit/accuracy/hp/mr/ma/or msupp? I know I'm asking a lot here but if I'm gonna stick with a game that I've loved off and on this long (beta player) then maybe i should try dedicating my time to another aspect of the game that will make me feel accomplished until i think PvP is a viable option again.
