Are they kidding on the skills? The power on the nukes is ridiculous... Over 500 power on multiple nukes. True we do not know the power of the weapon itself and you cannot use spiritshots but what they put on the page makes it seem like you'll do ridiculous damage while in this form. Hopefully it won't be made to be easily exploited in pvp or the sieges for that weekend and actually helps the vitality level a lot.

If the transform stick really has 1 matk / 1 patk, the nukes won't do enough damage to solo efficiently at higher levels. Remember the event description also says that you cannot use sps/bsps, so that cuts the damage in half already, and high lvl nukers have weapons with like 180 matk instead of 1 matk. I guess most people will probably use the event transformation on a lower lvl sub to fill up vitality and then go xp normally on their main.
Come on guys. Let's not start whining yet again about another event. Enjoy it while it lasts and have some fun. It's not mandatory to participate in it if you REALLY hate it, yanno. ^^
Thanks for another event NC! I look forward to it. :)

Agree with you :) Btw I was thinking about AOE in Ant nest with those to refil VP ^^

Excuse me for asking, but I've looked and can't locate, but where does it say everyone's going to have 1 matk and 1 patk?
All I can read is that everyone's going to get fixed stats.. which I'd imagine would be based on your level.

it's just speculation about the 1 patk/1 matk (of the item! not the character), but it would make sense to give the item low stats and then balance the transformation depending on the character level (i.e. higher lvl toon gets higher matk). Whatever way they do it, I am just pretty sure that they won't give the transformation the same stats/damage potential at higher levels as a S grade archmage with fire patk arcana mace, so it will probably be easier to grind vitality on a lower level subclass than to go, say, iop and grind there.
Anyway we can stop u from Event crapping? We whined (me included) about the description of the Santa event too... and when it finally became reality, everyone I know was really happy with that event. Let it happen first, and let's see the result of what they've put together.

The item is already present in some online bases (http://lineage.pmfun.com/item/12814/gatekeeper-transformation-stick.html). With this particular patk/matk. I highly doubt NCsoft will change them for our event.
I really don't get the hole concept. Why would you want to be a gatekeeper? I don't know hope it's as much fun as the Santa event (Best event in years IMO).
The event refers to a non-combat transformation. Is this a a new free item that you can get randomly instead of the regular stick. Will it be event only or a permanent stick you can keep, i.e. a new transformation for your character. Will we be able to trade it with our alts ?
I think this event idea is pretty unique and simple...no farming, which is usually an issue with 99% of all events that come out (hello bots), but also they are answering the excessive pleas for more access to vitality. I say we should all make the best of it while it lasts.
As for the one per day per account, I think they've done that before. I'm sure they have their reasons for it.
Tamoh, before it was once per character if I'm not wrong. I don't remember it ever being once per account. Makes no sense if you want to level alts on the same account though, and you only have a week of event.

Ah okay...well regardless, yeah I agree the event is *only* one week long, and imho it's only really meant for people wanting a quick boost of vit on the character they want to focus on most. :)
^^ Poor thing wanted its life back after the banhammer. :cool:
Wrong...this is Bottage where Bots don't get Banned....they get reiewed for a few YEARS first....cause....well you guys know how hard it is to detect a Bot :P
I am hunting in VoS but that's cause I've always been hunting there since lvl 6x. You can try there hehe... it's dangerous though, careful with the Flashes of Splendor, they hurt, so nuke them before they nuke you.
Hehe... might be a little more dangerous if you're in B grade, but hey, if it doesn't work, the worse that can happen is that you lose 4% :p
Just make sure to nuke the Flashes, and be careful with the Wisdoms of Splendor, they have an annoying flame spell that will eat your HP through in a few seconds. Ah the Blades divide into two as well umm....
If anyone wants to suggest a better place, feel free heheh...
I love it, I can actually level my Warsmith faster using the gatekeeper skills than his normal hunting skills duod with my se. Plus!!! i can solo with my se for onece.. way fun.
Here is my ULTIMATE strategy for xp with gk event :
Starting with full vitality,xp till vitality goes lvl 3
(please write down on a paper the time you needed vit from full to lvl 3)
Just when vit goes lvl 3 transform into a gk and xp till full vit
(better the time you wrote on paper in first step)
When time that you wrote on paper ends, untransform
(make sure gk stick is 30/60 mana minimum if not never mind)
Do again steps 1 and 2...
when step 2 ends gk stick ends too
do AGAIn step 1 till vit lvl 2... and thats it
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
estimated time (4 hours of a fast mob killer or nuker)
TIme and xp may increase if you pick vitality herb by 10 mins(5 mins regen and 5 mins using the regenerated vit)
My main is an OL so I don't xp well when solo, but the GK stick has been immensely helpful. I've used 3 of them so far, and gained about 60% from it. To compare, 3 hours is usually about 10-12%. I'm enjoying this event.
I just wish the sticks wouldn't disappear after tomorrow's maintenance, its not like people could get a ton of them and sell them or anything. Its a pain for people who dont have that much time to play to use all the sticks.

yes it was great for my WS to, but you do know that a SE/EE and Bishop can nuke now. right?
I can solo on my SE alot easier than on my WS (as long as I get mana herbs)
Again, I haven't gotten to use them once. Doesn't quite work when the bishop is in GK mode, not where I xp anyway.
I thought the Santa event would do that, and when it didn't, I was elated ... was shocked when this event did. I think there should be an event to make it up to us healers. Yes, an entire event... since we missed this one. And, no, just so you know, long stemmed Roses will not make up for it, neither will diamonds! I think we should get some Level 4 Vitality for a while.

LOL
Mystic clases had all the advantages in this event since they are robe users and have passive mp regen.
What stoped you from exping in another location for 1 hour as a GK to gain vit and then go back to your regular spot (hero rift?)
Fighter classes run out of mp in 10min or less depending if they where wearing robes or theyr normal armor.

How could you fail? used them on my healer and as posted above me it was indeed very easy as a mage class to take advantage of this event.

If your "healer" is a Bish or EE 78+, using the GK transform gives you worse XP than you are used to have.
The GK sticks can be used for self-Zerk, though...
How could you fail? used them on my healer and as posted above me it was indeed very easy as a mage class to take advantage of this event.Because, the Hellbound parties started much earlier and lasted much longer because all the other party members wanted to take turns being GK. So I logged in, and it was time to go. I suppose I could have said no and gone and messed around on the GK ... but then I'd wonder if that was a worthy switchout?

The Rift hasn't been my regular spot for a couple of levels now Rohirrim. At 80 the mobs are green. Now that I'm 81, I think they are light blue :( Kinda sucks. The rift was like the Zen place for me to go relax :)
I don't think it was meant that you should gain insane exp as a GK, the main reason for this event was to gain vitality points
Vitality at 78+ is a joke, unless you could keep it (which, for this event, would mean "insane exp as a GK").
You enter a rift room with full Vitality 4. You exit it 10 minutes later with most of your Vitality 2 already spent. Was it worth a hour of crappy exp in GK form?
Well, its always better than nothing. I remember the times of c5 and interlude..where we hadnt even a vit bar and all lvled normally without complaining. Now, they gives us a little help and give us a vit bar which is preety nice and good, and anyway we still are complaing that the bars erase to fast and its to hard to get vit lvls back ect ect. I mean comon. Lets be grateful to have a vit bar with vitality unique events. Without it we still would lvl much slower than now.

gk was fun to get away from rifting tho =P but ye vit goes away too fast in rift anyways to use the gk transform to gain vit
I think, if you putted your sticks in the WH you will still have them after the maintenance since they sayed they remove all sticks from the inventorys. Also i putted all stuff i didnt used on other events in my WH and i still have them ;) All i had in my inv. fr4om other events got deleted.
