That isn't what I meant for you to do. I meant when you see a person you've seen listing stuff on the broker in the open world, observe what they are doing to get the stuff they are selling. Where are they at, what mobs/bosses are they killing, etc.

I am tempted but posting on the forums is going to lower how lucrative it is. All I can say is if you want to make kinah go out in the world and observe what people are doing. Look at who is selling manastones, balic mats, etc. on broker and try to notice what they are doing when you encounter them maybe. That is somewhat how I learned some tricks.

This is actually really untrue with the 2.8 update. There are legitamate ways to make kinah, manastones and balic mats and you can make a lot of kinah without spending any money.

What grade are you in?

Never mind, the issue seems to be with Exitlag. Inb4 I'm banned for using something third party that everyone uses!

Hey @Wissp I think the server is down. Could you be the communities voice as CM and let someone from NC know? Sorry you have to do something other than copy and paste on Tuesday.

@Wissp I think the fact that the value of the enchantment stone bundle has a lot less value than the enchantment stone pass we had a few months ago is terrible. IIRC it cost 960 quna or so and we got 110 stones TIMES THREE, not one. Now you want nearly the same price for approximately 1/3 the amount of stones? That is so crappy. I don't even know why I'm trying, I haven't seen you do anything but make a single post each week :/.

Templar is incredible 1v1 and group PvP when geared. Ungeared they aren't great. A geared temp has the upper hand vs ranger, assassin, executor, gladiator and chanter. You have decent chances vs clerics and sorcs. SMs... like most classes SMs are hard.

Elyos get to DPS their deity with the safety of their guards and Eso base much closer though. The Asmos have to be out pretty far from theirs.

@Wissp First act as CM should be to get us some compensation for the messed up Agent Battle :(. We wait all week to do it and it was bugged, neither deity was attack-able.

What video is this?

They fixed it b4 the newest patch broke it again. Why wouldn't they fix it again?

NCSOFT is so stupid... first move the servers to one side of a big country, now doing maintenance middle of the day when sieges and PvP instances are scheduled. Also, ignore entire community screaming on forums.

It might have even been better if they just left the world drops with the Padma stuff lol. We'd all probably be a lot happier. Padma gear, +15 armor, plenty of stones on broker.

Jesus Christ…. HELLO!?!? SOMEONE FROM THE COMPANY PLEASE TALK TO US ABOUT THE WORLD DROP ISSUES PLEASE?????? THE SUPPLY OF MANASTONES ISN’T ADEQUATE BECAUSE OF THE DROPS. Most of the population can’t make any progress!! Important low level stigmas are in such short supply they sell for insane amounts of Kinah!!! PLEASE HELP!!!! NO ONE CARES ABOUT STUPID EVENTS! DO SOMETHING!!!!!!!!!!! COMMUNICATE DAMNIT!

Lol, I’m not surprised. Incorrect information given by CMs. NCSoft completely ignoring forums and not acknowledging major issues like drops, making it impossible for anyone to have any gear progression. My sub was gone last week, I hope others follow. Someone up the chain will eventually wonder why their piggy bank is drastically skinnier than previous months.

Is the core 225% then I wonder?

I think the game would have been in a better state now if no one had complained about eternal drops in OW 3-4 weeks ago lol. Everyone would be equal geared and we’d have manastones with+15 55e.

Yeah but now everything is so rare/expensive w/o them and world drops. If they are going to go this route we need like 100 selectable manastones in the Daeva pass along with more enchant stones (also untradeable). As it is now I have ample ap to get gear but I'll never have enough kinah to socket and enchant it and for certain manastones there isn't enough supply on the broker to socket a set.

It is wild that they just disappear off the face of the earth after making the maintenance post lol.

The funny thing is you can probably do all you promised and so can a lot of other people quite easily. It is insane that they somehow can't. I've seen a few people now with private servers implement all changes like this in a matter of minutes.

Oh, so open world drops are still rubbish? Ok, bye then :(. It is crazy that it is harder now to gear out a fresh character now than it was when the server started.

I know I am if drops and turn-in aren't fixed. It is w/e, was trying to get back into the game to fill in some boring late nights. I have other hobbies I could throw some money at.

@Roseae @Primali Can you guys confirm that drops will go back to how they were before the patch or are they staying as they are now? I.E. field monsters were dropping kinah, manastones, stigmas, etc. I want to know whether to keep trying to complete a return to the game or quit again for another few months/years before I waste more time getting gear I'll never be able to socket w/o RMT'ing in the shop or by.... other means.

Yeah, you guys need to fix this mid-week. Don't wait an entire week with instance drop events going on to fix it. People, like me, want to return to the game to check out the new patch and we want to actually be able to get manastones to put into the nice new gear that we MIGHT get. If you waste a week you're going to lose a ton of people that wanted to return to check out the new patch and maybe stick around. Fix the ap relic turn in so I can turn in my bazillion crowns that I had saved so I can get new gear, fix the drop rate so manastones are affordable and plentiful so I can actually socket it and use it, ASAP PLEASE.
