Question for Dwarf Toons

Player Questions Started Last reply 11 posts
My lvl 33 dwarf-with the "summon golem skill"--with 20 plus Crystal-d grades in inventory, still can't summon the little golem! The guide I have says that a dwarf has to be over lvl 28, have the skill (acquired with the blueprint), and have what sounds like 4 d-grade crystals and at least 49 MP. The game tells me "unable to summon mech golem due to unsuitable conditions". Before other dwarfs ask other questions--"yes, my dwarf is standing with no other commands running", "yes, I have tried to summon the little guy both in and out of town".
This is probably a stupid question--am I missing something obvious or is this a tech/GM question for my individual dwarf? My toon is equippd with a full brig set, a full elven set, and a +7 Glaive....has full or nearly full MP (over 200) and has inventory less than 50% full. I can't think of other 'conditions' I need to fulfill to summon the golem. What am I missing? :(
They changed it to c-crystals now. :(
THAT would certainly explain a lot!!!! lol---guess that old guide isn't worth the paper it's written on. Thanks for the answer--I'll quit expecting the little guy till I get those crystals.

Thanks alot for answering a relative noob!
Just on a side note here, does this also apply to the big boom for example, im not there yet, but it initially needed D-Crysts, did that also change to C...

Thx....

Cheers!!
Be prepared for an unpleasant surprise-- C crystals are mucho expensive ^.^

Not only mucho expensive, but an artisan can't even make 'em.

Self-sufficiency goes out the window.

Thankfully my understanding is that Big Boom still takes D crystals, of course his usefulness is limited. The mechanical golem is the most everyday practical of all the WS summons.

my advice
dont ever summon big boom usefulness is not limited its non existant i think lvl 1 boom cost 3 d crys so even if you could make your money back you'd die trying (see other posts on big boom nerf)
my lvl 5 big boom cant even kill a group of lvl 45 mobs with sps and emp 3
save the sp and get another skill

dont use mech golem until about lvl 49ish (except for pvp)
even at 49 you will lose millions a day hunting but at least at that point you might be able to craft your way out of the adena ditch it digs

also i hope this is the last time i say this but im pretty sure mech 1 should use d crys
your lvl 1 mech cost about the same as a 40+ mech and it goes against everything a ws stands for which is to be self sufficient (cant crystalize c for ages)

when all is said and done, it is cheaper and more effective to raise and feed a pet. any pet!
1 Golem now takes 5 C cry to summon and another 16 more until it is gone. Cost is about 58-60k per summon but the side effect is it only takes 15% of your exp instead of the 30% it took before with the D crystals. There is also the use of Beast Shots (SS) for your summon now that can be purchased from the Pet manafger for as low as 24a each up to prolly 27 if the castle lord has high taxes. The golem can also use Beast SpS and Bsps but I dont know the cost, they help the cannon shot.

Why they didnt make the Crystal use change at like lvl 52 to C and lower than 52 still D I have no idea. There is no way a low lvl person could ever afford to use a golem until their last 50s IMO. Tell me if im mistaken on this part plz..

well we have higher lvl golems than most ppl on the server
im still loseing 20k a buff round useing mine but im willing to accept that for faster lvling

pet ss cost 24 a piece but mine and your golem use 5-6 ss per hit which makes it more expensive than a-ss since we cant craft it ourselves

golem can not use pet sps
you can charge it just like a dwarf can use bsps but the golem will never use it nor will it ever need more than 1
golems mech attack is a physical skill and uses pet ss only

the break even point for useing a golem is somewhere around lvl 72 hunting green mobs
use it before then and expect to lose 200k-3 mil a day
