My wife and I have recently begun playing here. We played a bit at release (only up to like level 25) and I played for a couple weeks last year... but that's it, so we are true newbs.
My question to you all is this; what site do you trust for accurate information on drops?
For instance, we are now level 14. We have been able to do the DE quests (spores and zombie skins) over and over and we've managed to buy ourselves a couple of devotion sets for the bonuses and I have a cedar staff now but we want to work on getting her a decent weapon and shield maybe (she's going SE and I am going SH). So... I figure since we have to grind anyway, we might as well grind on the correct mobs that have a .0000000000001 chance of dropping a weapon for her :)
But... I have visited a few sites and they all have different info for drops. Is there a site that is known for it's accuracy?
The most accurate site that alot of ppl will agree on is l 2 w h (dot)com (take out the spaces). Ncsoft doesn't like it and doesn't want you knowing about it cause it gives the information we want from ncsoft (but that they won't give us).
yup, if u could see how low the reduced drops are (2much automated friends in game)
... u wouldnt hunt for mats/drops ;)
try the manor system since ur so low @ lvls, make u a nice profit to buy gear
Also, I know the drops are slim to none, but if I am grinding for adena anyway, I figure I might as well grind on the mobs that have a chance of dropping what I am trying to save to buy anyway :)
It's always best if given a choice, to hunt the mobs that drop what you're looking for, just on the off chance that it's your magic day.
Realistically though, go here: http://lineage2.stratics.com and read up on the manor system. They have a guide to it. You can easily make enough money after just a few hours of manoring to buy both you and your wife the best of NG gear. If you really work at it, it's very possible to have the best of D grade gear by like lvl 25, maybe even sooner, depends how resourceful you are.
The Gludio and Oren manors will both be up today, if they're not already, use them well!!
IMO EWA weren't really worth making. They take way too much crops to make. EW C were the most profitable at the time I ran manors due to the fact of everyone trying to make OE Homokulus's and Emi's. I'm betting your best profit margins are still in EW C and EW B's.
