dwarf, Artisan 28 lvl ... and we have a skill - Summon Mechanic Golem. all nice, but to summon it, dwarf should have 1 C crystal and +4 to support its life so ... 5 atall.
but the problem is WHERE DWARF CAN GET 5 C Crystals at 28 lvl ?
so unswers are
1. cyztalize something.
-nop bad idea :
a - dwarfs can crystalize C equipment starting from 40 lvl. and what should they do b4 then ?
b - where dwarf can get C euqipment at 28 lvl ? nor a from drop nor from craft unfortunatly so - nowhere.
2. buy them.
- all ok looks like fine idea, but hold on :
a - C crystal - costs 2900 adena and wee need atleast five so we need 2900 * 5 = 14500 - holy smoke not bad money at 28 lvl for 10 mins + ADD beast shots for golem .. and wholya ... we have nice money ... 15k for 10 min .. it has to be very nice spot to earn this money 15k / per 10 mins and dont forget that somthing should left for dwarf... so it is mostly imposible
b - there is not always a posibility to buy them just as it was at Franz at the opening .. there just was no 40 lvl dwarf with 2nd class transfer to make C crystals
so . lets make a conclusion the guy who did it was realy drunk, or didnt play l2 with dwarf atall ever.
IMHO - it should be D crystals not C .. perhaps till 40 lvl...
Mechanical Golems used to cost D crystals, the change to C crystals came with C4. All summoners "main" summons were changed to C crystals at that time. Of course most summoners don't get their "main" summons until they hit level 40. WS got the shaft on that one.
i just craft ss and mooch money from my main when i level my dwarf, i also use a wolf instead of a golem :) at lvl 27 w/ i think 2nd best weapon is 150 patk. if you have trouble leveling it either (A.) make a tank to 25 (for hate) and do that until wolf is your mains char. or (B.) level it on raidbosses.
You can grind for money, or you can get broke really fast. Take your pick.
fixed :)
Yes, it sux alot. It is really not an option at all to use golem at that level. But it gets a bit better at higher levels, you gotta be patient with that :)
If you are manoring the Golem will pay for itself many times over.
yup
first time i spamed it was at lvl 49 doing seeds for bone
if you want to go on full golem spam includeing SS its impossible to break even, in fact at 65+ you will lose 2 mil a day doing so (trust me i done it)
at 72+ you break even and at 76 with a +1 golem you start makeing a profit
The OP has a point. Since C4 the golem summon for the arti doesn't make any sense.
The first level of golem should be d-crystals again or the summon should not be available till later.
Having a summon you can't afford to call for help is just mean.
I started at end of C-3. Was hard to summon golem at lower levels just w/d crystals--but possible. Then C-4 and bye-bye golem for a long time.
If you look at the list of summons that got change in C4 from D to C crystals then they are all gained after level 40 apart from the mecahnic golem. All other classes that get summons before 40 still get to use D crystals for them.
This is not the first time, and definitely not the last either, that the designers of the game have come up with a completely stupid idea.
The figuring line here is actually quite simple - either the mech golem takes C Crystals starting at level 28, or you need to look for a new blueprint at level 40, and in that case, what about the high level warsmiths who have already learned it past 40? There is no accounting for that.
The change to C Crystals, as far as balancing was concerned, was the only possible solution given current game design.
They are short, fat, ugly, on the sex offenders list in pretty much every nation, have less money than everybody else, so why wouldn't they always be drunk? They gotta drown those sorrows somehow. Its either that, or SS, and you know how expensive snorting soul shots gets.
