Hi pve heros stop crying and run arenas I been getting over 6k lunas monlty just with arenas. I know this server is 95% pve players and didn't know it, also arenas is free.
It is not 95% pve players. First Elyos always have been PVE kings and still are - thus gear and other char improvements come easy. Asmo have to farm like crazy just to be able to not die in 2 hits. There are far more Elyos looking for pvp now because Asmo are trying to catch up (not going to happen) - but people will get decent in a few months and probably go looking for pvp. Siege tonight - everyone enjoyed the pvp. Aion has always intended to be a mass pvp game or, when we had them, pvp instances. Some enjoy duels or 1v1, arena etc. The problem is the server is extremely unbalanced and getting worse!
Anyway yeah everyone send your alts in to arena and afk til get 5 done. Can do the boring luna weekly for 20/char. Someone mentioned praying opening luna materials box. Arena is now pve, enjoy it platino!

try with Normal Stones think have more success rate :'D
I knew it! I wasted so many blessed trying to get my orb from 9 to 10 after tia eye event in jan 2021 until quit few months ago at least 180 stones failed over that time.
During the last event all blessed failed or at least most, but the yolos were much more successful even at 7 to 8.
Really unfair that we weren't officially told this!

Within a day after maintenance a new selectable box + keep the rng box.

These are the enchant rates, you are almost not supposed to make any of them +15.
Even a +10 set would make you a killing machine.
You need thousands of dollars to get one single +10. Then 11-15 is, on average, 250 stones per level.
Its hard to get one stone unless you have tens of thousands to spend and no you can't farm 250 stones in Kaldor in any reasonable amount of time!

My name is Wissp and I'm on another NCSOFT game, but I'm filling in for EMpulse who is off today! She asked that I follow up with everyone here about the Minion S reward situation.
We are now in the process of rectifying the issue and begin distributing the "Grade S Minion Contract Selection Box (10 Types)" to those who participated in the Minion Promotion as soon as possible. The hope is that distribution will begin by end of day, but it could take a little longer and a bit of time for everyone who is eligible to receive it - but rest assured that it's on the way!
Thank you so much for your patience and understanding!
Hello! We still have not received the appropriate selection box. It isn't game-breaking to get 2 boxes especially when one is rng, so please do send. Most people doing for an alt anyway or people could get SS which we all should have by now if old players anyway if the system was more fair.

Hello! Just a suggest to try and revive PVP instances. Why not offer the Ultimate crystals (to craft the dark talon/bursting etc accessories and equipment)? Make sure loser gets 1 and winner gets 2? depending on which instance? They are all pretty much quiet now, maybe except AD.
People spent a lot last few months, and worked super hard and such to get gear to be able to pvp (not all but most). More PVP options please aside from, well Agents were supposed to be PVP and Ardath...world is not so lively.

This is all great! Will play more now!
I'm guessing there's no chance they adjust the rewards for the paragon enhance event portion? A lot of people tried but it doesn't sound like more than a handful even reached 2 +9s?
0 -
I'm sure it would be account wide though you might need a ticket. With how hard it is I wonder if anyone else even got the 2 +9s. I think they should drop the whole reward tiers by a level. I don't even know anyone who got 1 x +9, but haven't been on much lately.

Having to stay on each alt for 1 hour every day (if one did that) is too much. Some may feel they are losing out if they don't. It somewhat impedes activity in-game as people will just afk and we won't even see our friends as they will be on alts.
Otherwise I like the event, if it could just be every hour no matter the character even if sometimes we get on the wrong character it would be much better and game would be much more active. Not sure if anything can be done at this point, but 1 month of AFKing for many people is a long time of low activity - personally I'll do my stuff on main then afk alts and do things in real life.

If you are level 9 in main city (which is easy) and lakrum (which is even easier), you can buy 10 paragon tickets per week. That is 520 tickets per year. And I am leaving out being renown 9 to a difficult map which would give you more.
If you have a few alts that are renown 9 in the main city and/or lakrum you can get even more. It just requires a lot of dedication to take chars to renown 9, then keeping them at 9 is an easy task.
I personally had my main and alt in my main account, my main had like 300 tickets and that alt had like 90 because I did him to get the gelkmaros transformation so I won't waste 1500 XP marks on my main..
Yes I know I had 140 tickets before event started - i mean the "Blessed" stones. The exchange tickets only give normal stones. To make blessed is very expenesive as you know.

"+9 to +10 - 68 failures, 1 success (37% chance at 1.5%, 30.8% chance at 0.75%, 19.8% chance at 0.375%) - chance of success with 68 or fewer tries at 1.5% - 64.2%"
I would say you are very lucky - at least 2 of us have tried well over 150 blessed stones over 15 months and still at 9. Your 1408 stones don't really reflect the attempts since you used most on an impossible 10 to 11. The way it works is more like lottery you can get it first try or you can get it on 200 or 300th try and in the end it works out to 1.5% or whatnot. It is just trying your luck really... I know someone who got Close Wound Ulti oath on weapon on first try for example.
Anyway I know of no legitimate way to get 1408 blessed paragon stones...thats over 1.5 million BCM or 1408 paragon pieces + 1408 paragon stones - 1408 pieces is impossible with this low pop even if you farm every waking hour. If you dropped a few million dollars on BCM well at least you have something no one I know of has anymore and made 2 9s when I haven't heard of anyone getting a 9 during this event!
What you could do is post in suggestions to increase the odds for paragon enchants or make it easier to get blessed stones (the rest of us can't get 1000+ of them).

Using approximately 1,402 blessed paragon enchantment stones , here are my results above +6 (the following may be a bit off, but is materially accurate to the best of my knowledge; THE FOLLOWING IS FOR ILLUSTRATIVE AND DISCUSSION PURPOSES ONLY AND SHOULD NOT BE RELIED UPON WHEN MAKING A DECISION REGARDING AION GENERALLY, ENCHANTING PARAGON EQUIPMENT, OR OTHERWISE). To read this correctly, note that where I succeeded, the percentages in the parentheses are the chances that you would have gotten ONLY ONE success with that many tries. The clarifying clause after the hyphen illustrates what the chance of getting AT LEAST ONE success was with that many tries (i.e., the chance that you succeed with that many tries or fewer).
How did you get 1402 Blessed stones? It is difficult to make 10.
+8 to +9 - 68 failures, 1 success (30.2% chance at 2.6%, 14.5% chance at 36.8%, 36.0% chance at 1.15%)- chance of success with 68 or fewer tries at 2.6% - 83.3%
So you have the only +8 to +9 that I have heard about and that was with all of those 1400 blessed stones?

Thanks, it seems using 20 blessed to reach a +7 is in accordance to the rates then! It was 5% for me, while the spreadsheet rate at +6 to +7 is about 5,6%.
I can't believe anyone will be able to make a +9 to +10 with 1,5% rate! That is ridiculous.
Yes thats about right - I don't know anyone who made or received a +9 from the superb box. I had a 7 for about a year that finally went 8 and have now made a greatsword 8...I don't know if I will even get 1 to 9 will need a lot of luck - i highly doubt anyone will get 3. I ask around if anyone has made one and so far nothing. It is just too hard and too expensive.

The thing is, even if u have a lot of kinah, u can't participate without paying. Hammers aren't brokereable and u can get them just by paying $$$. I know that this is a sale, but they can do the effort of putting a new event with good prizes. The ongoing event, is decent just for Daevanion Passives and wraps. Around this time last year, 4 events were happening at same time just for reference, and before that, the Stormwing event had just finished. We are not asking for 4 events at the same time, but one that motivates players to return. @Rin
Yes you are right - new event is good though and too time consuming to do any others. Personally I would try to take the kinah of the p2ws selling leg enchants and paragon pieces(can get from Kaldor too). Get 50 billion and buy anything that people buying from BCM sell if its any good for you?!

Players will receive a maximum of one +10 Paragon Equipment Selection Box for meeting the following criteria:
Successfully enchant or obtain 3 or more +9 Paragon Gear (armor or weapon) during the event period.
Players may enchant any previously owned gear between +0 and +8 to the required +9 to count towards the requirements.
Players who receive +9 Paragon gear through the promotion bundles will also count towards the requirements.Getting 3 +9 Paragon pieces is incredibly hard. A few people (myself included) are fortunate enough to have a +9 weapon (I don't mind other people getting them now by spending especially Asmo). The odds for 8 to 9 are just 2.6% so people will have to literally spend thousand(s) or get super extremely lucky to complete this portion. I noticed it is difficult to get blessed stones even on the shop (I think you get 1 for 2880 bcm) and it is also rare to get the paragon box from farming fruit. Even 8 is a nightmare. I made my 9 during the Tia Eye event and have been trying to +10 (1.5%) every since last January (15 months ago) and no go well over 170 blessed stones which is a lot of work to farm. So I wouldn't worry too much (the +10 reward is an armor piece only not weapon). More likely people will get the first and second level rewards, but not the third).

I think its a pretty good sale, people can use legendary stones from farming and just need spend a little. I'm sure some people will whale this, but i doubt many will get +10 paragon weapons. This sale is same as the one for Mistveil/Katalam skin skills maybe year and a half ago or so and it went well. The big thing is Asmo need this. We are behind and hopefully some Asmo catch up. It is a -sale- not an event.
Keep in mind the fruit event is still going and you can make a fortune in kinah selling paragon boxes, books, and wraps so it benefits f2p and small spenders a lot as well.
If you are a farmer and been saving its a good chance to upgrade too. If you don't want to participate just focus on the other event? At least some people will keep the server running somewhat longer!!!

Bugfest - Did you fire Q/A when Rin left?
in General Discussion

What is going on NC? This patch is filled with bugs. Nearly everything is broken or buggy!
I'll make a quick list off the top - but this is a massive failure of Quality Assurance!
1) Candy stations aren't spawning/spawning right times
2) You messed up siege times all start and end at :00 and :25
3) You can't get the item from BCM or wherever else to reroll the nezekan/zikel box
4) Daeva Pass Season 1 jewels will not go into collections - even though last seasons are now gone
5) Campaign quest for extra Holy Water did not reset - if that was what was intended
6) (Cosmetic) - Stats for title do not show up
7) Back to siege - defending a fort offers no rewards at all - no gp no enchantment stones
8 ) Leibo Shield is no longer attainable since lugbug missions are gone (maybe by design?)
Can't think of the rest right now - maybe people can add.
