Hey all, I am coming back to Lin2, I have been gone since Dec '06 and I see there has been a TON of changes! Thus, I have some questions:
1) With all the changes, should I just start over on a new server and relearn the game or are the clans out there that will take a lvl 67 PP that will act more like a noob than anything else?
2) I see stores up with "Common Items" but they are A grade gloves or what not. What is the "Common item" thing about?
3) How the heck is everyone, I missed the game and eager to get back to it.
I think most people have their own buffers so that they can XP whenever they want so you may find it hard to get parties. Having said that, not everyone is high level so you will still find players around your level who would welcome an active PP - especially if you find a nice clan willing to XP you.
The common items are full drops that you can't enchant or add augments to, also you will get no set bonuses from common armour sets. They are much cheaper that the real thing and they are sufficient if you are on a budget.
My advice for you would be to roll a fresh class and restart. Levelling 1-60 is very quick these days and even if you are a casual player you can have a new character same level as your PP in a matter of a few weeks.
You didn't mention which server you were on (or thinking of starting a new character on).
Thanks all. I am from the ancient server Sieghardt, so Sayha now I guess. Don't know if I am gonna continue there or build new elsewhere. I may just start new on Sayha, I have too much money and Adena, and would hate to lose all that.
So "common items" is what they call full drops now? What's the point, if you don't get the set bonus? Can you craft a "common item" and use fewer mats and have higher success rate?
Also, how fast does Vitality wear off? I guess I have quite a bit of it, being offline for 2.5 years.
common items are full drops.. you can still get parts and normal full drops (but then again they still drop every few years, only got 1 Ag full drop so far in my L2 life)...
vitality is consumed according to exp gain (as far as i understand it) so if you're doing AOE in cata with all OOP buffers, it'll go pretty fast.. but if you do slower exp, you will feel it lasts longer... in avg, I'd say 1, 3 & 4 bars last for about 1hr.. and 2 bars for 2hrs...
I suggest that before posting you read the official site, go to the news section and updates. 99% of your questions will be answered when you read the patches that you've missed. Then when you play again, you will have more specific questions that you will only find answer from other players. This will save you a lot of time waiting for an asnwer :) cya laterz!! and welcome back!!

common items cannot be crafted, they are free drops you can do several things with; crush them for free crystals (most items are 2-6 crystals), wear them as temporary gear until your permanent set is crafted, or sell them as you would normal drops for port money or to cover shot costs.
vitality wears off according to how much exp you gain and lasts about the same for everyone; around 40 mins of relaxed single target exping to burn the first level, double for the second level, double again for the 3rd, and the final level of vitality is about 5 kills. wierd how it works, theres a guide to figuring out vitality in the Player guides section. i suggest you look it up.
in any case, welcome back to Lineage2, good luck on sayha. i hear its not so fun over there now.
