What kind of affection is that? Any details pls :]

Vitality items, including the Revita-Pop and Chocolate Cookie, now share the same 60min re-use timer.

They already share same re-use timer.
vit pops don't.
cookies and christmas boxes do.

but i guess they changed that.

i want more purple vit potions...
i know they only filled a quarter, but it was a nice free quarter.
Haha guess it's time to farm new bosses from the altars :) They drop refined enchant scrolls :), which if you fail, previous enchantment stays :)
When 2 or more Necklaces of Freya exist in the Player inventory, the lowest enchanted necklace will be used to exchange for a Blessed Necklace of Freya.

I just need to have two Freya Necklaces and one will change to Extreme after downtime?
...and we will still have normal and blessed one^^?

When you speak to the NPC to convert a Freya Necklace for a Blessed Freya Necklace, the one which has the lowest enchantment will be used :)

How about Oren ?
They may have fixed that summons dont dissapear when u enter oly, but recently again they vanished when rooms change in Delusion as well the normal Delu as Tower and great seal.

really need to fix those urgently.
Really nice job NCwest! A new update, bug fixes and event in same time it is really good work!

So, after the High Five Part 5 seems will, come the Goddess of Destruction:mad:(or maybe at the end something else?).

I hope we never won't see the currently form of Goddess of Destruction on live server nowhere.
have to agree with u, profeta

some is looking nice but i dont want to be wow´d in l2 ><
Out of curiosity, but are all these monsters level appropriate for those areas. Or at least non-aggressive? Would absolutely suck for those of us still playing lowbies to get ganked by level 80 mobs stepping out of town :P

But then the idea of Destruction become pointless :D

that was funny.
Is this patch going live during this maintenance?
If so then it looks like I got some work to do on the skill lists again...
does this patch fix the drop table issue for the enhanced zaken earring (it never dropping) like korean and russian servers had a fix for already?
News Informers are still in game ^^
I saw no diference on gludio or talking island...
good news :D
The changes to the towns affected by the "beginning destruction" in minimal-- a hint of possible things to come, which I cannot comment on further. ;) In Dwarven Village, you can see that the lanterns that hung from the town gate have fallen, and the gates are a bit cracked. Small stuff like that for now.

A teaser of the new/old monsters by towns can be seen here (http://boards.lineage2.com/showthread.php?t=214571), hehe.
What have you done to my favorite village?
Dwarven village was a great place :(

The destruction of that village was so horrible that the entire Chronos server crashed.
Nothing new about extreme freya?
does this patch fix the drop table issue for the enhanced zaken earring (it never dropping) like korean and russian servers had a fix for already?
ZloiPank yesterday get it from Zaken
ZloiPank yesterday get it from Zaken

Screenshot or i don't beleive it..

Since zaken turned into an instance.... the must be thousands of times zaken has been done across all the servers.. i've only "HEARD" but never seen ..... 3 total earing drops.. (on our servers)..

As for zaken blessed which is new..... still never.

It was suggested that the drop rate was supposed to be increased from the meer 3% or lower to 10+..

Yet if that is the case.... then were are the earings.... Almost every clan that doesn't then daily with different characters.. sometimes twice a day provided with the option... all have said they haven't seen one yet...

It's to obscure or rediculious... Least before instance it had a far better chance of dropping.. WAY WAY better.... and you would see at least 1 to as much as 4 of the earings show up in a month.... it's been basically 0 for ages
ZloiPank yesterday get it from Zaken

really?

ill have to ask him in game

but im under the same assumption, screens or it didnt happen :-P
killer earing

i'd be happy with just the s grade one atm
Anakim's transformation still killing the game? or was nerfed in this version of the game?
Vitality items, including the Revita-Pop and Chocolate Cookie, now share the same 60min re-use timer.

but.... when will revita pops become tradable?
and when will we be able to transfer those revita pops with our characters to aanother server? :rolleyes:
Lords of Destruction invasion.

* Some old forgotten monsters have resurfaced more powerful than ever and are threatening the safety of Aden.
* These monsters will appear around the Altars of Sacrifice near each of the following locations: Dark Elven Village, Dwarven Village, Orc Village, Schuttgart, Gludin, Gludio, Dion, Heine, Giran, Aden.

Any details on how they got boosted? I watched people killing them earlier and doesn't really looks to be much harder then before. I mean, the lv20 boss in the list (source: Powerwiki) is still lv20 right with same stats, and not suddenly boosted to 70, since raids outside Giran are just the old Dragon Valley raids.
Sace, was any graphic engine update too? I experienced the game is about two times faster at me as before the High Five Part 5. Example when I was in a bigger populated town at the High Five Part 4 on low graphic details has some times much laggs too. Now If I play on full graphic has much fewer laggs in the town. Outside of the towns or the fewer populated towns the game running without any lagg in full details.
so wheres the notification that nevits pot donations were being removed?

hence another wonderful ninja patch with no notification to players. thanks again ncsoft

The game is still slow to start :(
I am just asking now, what else just slipped through the fingers that we might/might not see and was changed ...

wait what??? they got removed if you had them... grrr..
wait what??? they got removed if you had them... grrr..

No they were not deleted. But, because of the fog it is no longer possible to buy them.
you never know if this was not an auction item :P

The auction item is called "Greater Blessed Earring of Zaken"
you never know if this was not an auction item :P

Why should they pretend that they got it dropped? And even if it would go through an auction, more people would know about it.
I have to say, I don't generally complain much on here (at least I think so lol), but I was less than pleased that we weren't informed at an earlier date about the change to nevits. At least we could have stockpiled some more of them for our mains and subs.

On a related note, out of curiosity, anyone know if the Koreans can buy something like nevits via NcCoin?
Bring Nevits back! At least till 75 lvl, god ****!
Items


Vitality items, including the Revita-Pop and Chocolate Cookie, now share the same 60min re-use timer.


It's was from beging H5, from February 15, 2011. But no info in H5 Patch notes.
Now you guys just added this info into High Five part 5 Patch Notes.
"bug" became "feature" :D
I don't like when you do like that ...

Anybody tested, Revita - Pop still have shared reuse 60min timer with other replenishers like Christmas Cake or Chocolate Cookie?

About removed Nevit's Hourglasses from Priests of Blessing - will be nice if you remove them in H5 1-4 (February 15, 2011), since many improvements was aded to Nevit's Blessing, best of them - bonus time no more ticking while you just log in.
Now will be players rage against fable of epidemic, caused by a fog of unknown origin.

They were removed because of Saber's; Nevit is causing an economic crisis in Giran thread. :)
honestly with the changed XP requirements per lvl in H5 who cares if nevitts pots are gone now.. you still XP a lot faster then you did pre H5..

H5 is the age of spoilers & farm for gear improvement, not XP.. hell when I die while farming I take se/pp rezzes and still end up making more XP then I lose as such..
Everyone that's not lv 75 yet cares.
you never know if this was not an auction item :P

I always know, I haven't miss any auction since ~1year?

a few days? I would really like to know how to do that without any help from someone that powerlevels you in FoG or on Hellbound.

^ This

Also im 78 and I was useing Nevit every day it just makes it that faster I planned to stop using them after 80 but only cuz they were gonna go to 5m a pop.

windmill hill, ob/ac, cata till 61, pavel ruins...
if u wanna do those newbie quest for gear/shots 1-20 doesnt even need to be xped.
obviously aoe is fastest
we have been getting some vita item every month now so its shouldnt take a brand new player more than a month to be 75 w/ common gear and newbie buffs
i know you can provided with insanity gear get from 1-40 in about a solid 8 hour perfect circumstances, no fighting over raids and such....

from 40 to 52 takes about 4 hours give or take...

52-58 is about 3 hours-4 hours as well... provided with yet again good gear.

the hard part always seems to be lvl 58-61.... those 3 levels are just a total raging pain in the ***... Places to pole arm are few that are appropriate for the level... single targeting is fine yes.. but poling is quicker... it's like the mobs are twice as hard for only 1 lvl difference.... it's bizarre... And there are actually very few places to really "pole" that are good for that lvl. At least i've had a hard time finding a place.

Soon as you hit lvl 61... slap on the A grade gear.. and you can go back to the places that were near impossible or totally inefficient to grind-pole your way up to almost lvl 70 or higher..

once your lvl 70/71... NOW you can join a pwlvling party without getting a massive hit on your XP.... since the high five part 4 update... if your 9 or more lvls out.. the xp reduction is quite significant.

Course if you are lvl 67 and party with a lvl 76..... that's fine too..

2 days is a stretch.... i know it CAN be done.. but it's bloody hard.. typically most people with great gear and time... can generally do it in about 2 weeks to a month.

Other players.. specially if they are new to the game or have the basic gear.. they are looking at several months to get there depending on a case by case senario.
windmill hill, ob/ac, cata till 61, pavel ruins...

That still makes it a few weeks/months not days

from 40 to 52 takes about 4 hours give or take...

I have spent 6 hours down in catas with a polearm and only managed to go from 40 to 48. Vitality went down to 0 by the time I hit 42-43.
I use a +7 top c pole (name slips my mind right now) and I'm buffing up with a lvl 74 WC.
I'm on a SwS so no polearm masteries so I only hit 3-4 mobs per swing.

Yea that's about right, except that 1-40 takes ~3 hours if all raids are up.
That still makes it a few weeks/months not days


in what world is that a few weeks?

solo poling on a sws really isnt gonna get you anywhere fast, find a pole class and give them songs...

i usually dont even load a buffer till A grade, every toon i lvl uses brig and common glaive-> PL and common orc pole-> PL or BW and common Lance-> Tallum and common tallum glaive

lately ive been playing scavs w/ +6 PL and Saint spear 40-61 but only cause the light blue mobs i hunt for spoils cant hit me and dont evade w/ the acc. penelty for being out of grade.

everything else i play as mentioned above

new players w/ common gear and newbie buffs are 75 in a month w/o to much trouble.
any dedicated new player should be able to get academy, free gear(very least common) and if not shadow certs, other lower lvl players/alts to make groups w/
shots are cheap, mat prices are high, so selling mats and buying shots/ lux shop gear and common weapons is easy.
obviously new players and even some not so new player do not have access to the buffs i do, but what i can do in a weekend shouldnt take someone months if they can grasp the game mechanics


you can lvl really fast if you have the support.
bd,sws,DC oop
have the DC pull by using seal of chaos, round up a ton of mobs, run to your corner and spam the lowbie seal of chaos and seal of binding, you wear +6 PL or +6 Zubie leather, mobs will hold agro on the DC pretty well cause of the aoe seals, you have a few good swings of no agro then after you get agro binding holds some away from you while others struggle to hit you beacause of OE leather and chaos.
if you can find enough mobs the DC can toss a few seals then run to round up more mobs while you kill the ones he brought.
ok, so tonight im going to take my 41 AW common c gear/newbie buffs and test if i can get 52 in about 8 hours.. o.O
will monsters come in town and kill all my poor lil dorfs? many years ago, a big white tiger came in town and killed my dorf, and I dropped a divine pants and 100 syncokes.... worth lots of adena at that time... can I get them back?
Altars of Destruction:

Orc, Elven, Dark Elven, Dwarf, Talking Island village.

Gludio, Gludin, Dion, Giran, Oren, Goddard, Rune, Schuttgart, Heine, Aden, Hunter's towns/villages


Only ones I am missing or can't find are: Kamael village, Floran village


Haven't checked: Varka/Ketra villages yet
currently the monsters that spawn are raid bosses.
in next update will they be aggressive?
it strikes me as speculation at this point.
Updated my previous post above about location of Altars of Destruction :)

If you found it in Kamael/Varka/Ketra/Floran village post here and tell me where exactly, if altars exist there


Any Gm?
