Hey all, I have a couple of questions for you..
1. In order to keep my stock of arrows replenished, i noticed that i can have players produce more arrows for me (workshop). I have problems acquiring the basic ingredients for them - for example, stem. I can't find anyone who sells stem so i noticed that the manor system shows a seed of level 40 that produces stem. Problem is, by character is above 50 so does this mean i cannot use that seed? what are some ways to obtain materials that are used to craft level one items (if the mobs at your level dont drop them)?
2. How do you obtain fish gems and fish oil?
3. what level should you be to approach the person with the demonic sword?
1. If you are looking for A/B arrows go to goddard, valley of saints, forest of the dead. These thing drop like leaves in the fall and players will most likely be happy to give them to you.
2. Through fishing
3. Any level but unless you have great gear chances are you'll die. It won't matter since you don't lose xp if you die to the sword. Also if you suicide a lot to the sword, its power will increase BUT its life to the wielder decreases. So suiciding to the zarich is a good way to try and get it out of someone's hands. Heros can smack a zariche wielder and drop the wielder's cp to zero.
Even if you are double the level of the zarche owner one on one you'll probably die. I tried taking it on a 62 SH with full buffs and shots in B gear (it was the pts) from a 38 dwarf in D grade and couldn't. Too much **** CP, esp if they are holed up in a catacomb... they can hide in the rift whenever they want.
1) You could have a lowbie alt to farm Dark Coda. (L10) seed. OR You could just set up a buy shop once in a while and buy in bulk. (I bet if you buy a few 100K's worth at a time you'd get plenty from some people....just don't get all chintzy with your buy price and you'll be fine.)
2)-Daytime fishing. To get any reasonable #of either, your going to need to fish A LOT. Also, you will probably have to use the fisherman potions to lower your level if you maxed out your fishing skill. (Mid levels have been reported to be best for gems.)
3)Level? Depends on the level of the weilder AND how big of a posse you got with you....Don't expect to take the Zariche weilder solo at any level. (It probably not going to happen in your lifetime.)
If you use alternative seeds, you still get regular drops from mobs (materials, items) which you don't if you use basic seeds (then you only get adena and seal stones).
