As we approach the Goddess of Destruction update, we're encouraging players to level up so that they can experience the many exciting changes that this massive game update will bring. To help players achieve their goals, we're hosting a full week of double experience points, skill points, drop rates and spoil rates!
Double XP/SP
All experience points and skill points gained from hunting monsters are doubled. This stacks with all Vitality-related items, but experience points gained from quests are not doubled.
Just like during a Double XP/SP Weekend like we've hosted before, this server-wide setting affects all characters regardless of class, level, and account type.
Good stuff, very good stuff. Please also get some vit pots to my char sepomat, only acc i got, need lots of XP to get 76 and be able to grp with my mates. :>
think this event should be hold more often (i havent played l2 for ages so i meight have missed some)
this is second double xp for me i would love to see a double xp "event" every month for 1 week
3 weeks "****" xp
1 week double xp/drop
as for people who are 85 its double droprate aswell not every lvl 85 is rich a bastard ;)
heres a chance to drop nice amount of stones or whatever to sell later on ^.^
While I love this event I see some drawbacks to not increasing the adena or quest drops. You want us to level faster but when we do reach new grades we will still be poor..
I enjoy the double XP/SP events, but not increasing the adena drops only means leveling faster and not able to get your high level gear.
You can flame me, but it is the truth.. unless somebody want to hand me a full set of S80 or S84 gear.. or perhaps a billion adena maybe. ;)
And don't give me that "You should play more, or find a good clan".. Been there, done that for almost 7 years and nothing has changed. :D
Adena drops are bad in general, both from mobs and quests.
Hi,only one things;is possible that to know europe time when GM will give buff so we can continuos our cotidians things at home work etc etc etc,and dont wait for GM at town beside Gatekeeper ty.
Adena drops are bad in general, both from mobs and quests.
True.
I still have the 5 hour Double XP and SP chests from a previous event (last year?). I can use those and earn quadruple XP/SP, right?
Those xp/sp runes from chest not so good, as you think.
During this event: (basic xp from mob)X1.5(nevits)X3(full vit)X2(event)=X9(like private server hehe)
If you use xp rune (+50%): (basic xp from mob)X1.5(nevits)X3(full vit)X2(event)+(basic xp from mob)X1.5(rune)=X9.5 or maybe X10 if event affect xp from rune.
So, those rune - sux, event FTW! ;)

double adena drops for a week will not make you rich, double drops/spoil give you more chances for more adena by selling them

So, those rune - sux, event FTW! ;)
Are you sure about Nevit + Full vit ?
I will more do something like :
(Basic xp from mob)*(x3 full vit + 0.5 nevits)*x2 event and it's x7 rate :P
double adena drops for a week will not make you rich, double drops/spoil give you more chances for more adena by selling them
Double drops/spoil only means things will drop at 2x times the normal rate.. so if you have an item that drops 1/300 times you it only increased twice.. not good odds on most of the decent stuff. :)
At least with 2x adena you have the chance to make a little more than normal, too bad they would not apply it to quests. Doing that would make the repeatable quests worth doing as right now they are a joke and not worth the shots wasted to do them.
But should have also twice ammount of adena,since 2X on item drops means only double chance of droping,not twice drops and our major problem these days its adena.
it kinda sucks they didnt announce this a lil bit sooner so the people who dont have 9999 chocolate cookies and cakes and whatever couldve saved the few vita pops and maintain pops they had.... i mean 2x exp with no vit is not rlly a big thing after lvl 80 lol
its obvious they want NEWER players to catch up but newer players dont have as much vit items as older players lol so they should hand some out :D

im liking the 2x drops though :D
I predict there will be future Double XP and Drops events in the coming months. If you have vitality items that you want to save for the upcoming events do so. I would also like to take the time to predict there will be more vitality items distributed to the players in the coming months. If you have vitality items that you want to use now please do so.
You will start out at full Vita from maintenance and GMs will perodically be online to refill your vita during peak hours. You will have plenty of free vitality don't worry.

So, those rune - sux, event FTW! ;)
Right, but at the end of the day 5 hours of those runes is still more than I would gain with the event xp bonus alone. In a game where inches matter and even the most minute increase is a welcome advantage, I'll take it! :D
I was wondering... when the drop rate of something is more than 50%, when it doubles is there a cap at 100% or is there a chance to have it more than once? :p
Folks, I have good news. We were able to make it so that Adena drop quantity is doubled as well. This will only affects Adena though.
Everything else will still work as described. Drop rates (not quantity) are doubled, so everything (except quest items) will be twice likely to drop than before the event.

hey, yea i think this double exp is a great idea, but like somebody previously mentioned, for the newer characters, that have 0 vit 0 vit cookies or items, this is not much a help to us, there should of been an annoucement to be able to save your vitality items from 7th anniversary event,
maby gms can throw in a couple of vitality items for every character below lvl 80? to promote them to lvl up and catch up to the 84+ chars because i know im not the only one with 0 vit items, and double basic exp is not even equal to max vit normal exp, so its pretty much useless for some of uss to play lol, regular day basically,
Just a suggestion to throw in vitality items for chars 79- or something, give uss a boost
To all the people asking for vit pops and such: They will be refilling vit at different points during the day, they already said they will. So IMO I would be happy with what you are getting and don't be greedy.

not everyone can be online ALL day waiting for those 10 minutes they buff vit every now and then. any person with work or school will miss the 1st buff and any person who has dinner or homework or cant play the moment they get home untill they go to sleep will have a big chance of missing the 2nd one :P ncsoft wants the common players to get to 85 and its those common players who play 1 or 2 hrs a day and not 10 or 15 like the hardcore players that are already 85 100% :P
also idk about ur level but at giants cave or any decent exp place, vit doesnt mean shiit unless u have a vit maintaining potion since it will be out before u blink ur eyes.
and last, its not being greedy basically since ncsoft WANTS us to be lvl 85 for GoD so basically telling them vit pots would help alot is more like a feedback or help for them xD
exactly what snobb said, and to the comment before him, how are we being greedy, you probably already have exp maintaining potions or full vit, and most of us have full time careers or jobs, and cannot be on for those refills/buffs
This is a promotion by nc soft, were merely suggesting how to make it more efficient to achieve their goal, you and me both know lineage 2 is dying, nc soft has to do something to encourage players to play, hence the double exp event, but also mentioned by snobb, FULL VIT = nothing if you do not have vit maintaining potions, 20 minutes of exp i blew all bars of vitality,
players need encouragement, and 5 vit maintaining potions/5 re vita pops added to character 80- would help alot, and even that is barely nothing,
There's two solutions :
A. You let your character near the gatekeeper online the whole day. The buffs will wear off, but your vitality will be refilled.
B. You hope that they'll refill the vitality and give buffs during the prime time of your server, like it almost always happened before. If it doesn't happen during prime time, suggest it would be better.
None of these solutions require talking about L2 being dying or about your career IRL.
honestly, why do people try to bring down posts that only in the end going to help them out as well? i dont get some of you, we try to post information to help out and get nc soft to see our views as gamers,
but there's always a couple of you , who like to throw in a flame or stupid comment, why not just take the suggestion as this is all it is, to your benefits/advantage?
if gms do hand out vit retaining pots bonus for everybody if not, then as it was. dont ask you get nothing, ask and you might?
Hehe, yeah, after reading your guys responses I have a change of heart, your right Templarz, if you don't ask, then who knows! So yeah I take it back, there would be nothing wrong with hooking it up with some vit pots too... why not. XD
Vita maintaining for 10 mins x5, yeah it's gonna help... :rolleyes:
When you'll be done begging for revita pops, which would be cool but wouldn't be tied to the week event so it probably won't happen, you'll apply my solutions and you'll stop overreacting to players trying to help you with what we already have rather than with what we wish we had. Stay calm, it's not a flame/troll.
lol first off ,get your facts straight, its 30minutes not 10, and 1hour cooldowns, and yea that helps major, and your solution will not do anything, the time you waist to go in town, and wait around you can get more exp if u keep at it
oh and FYI i couldn't be calmer, and nobody's over reacting, where do you see any overreactions? to me all posts seem calm and well given information ?
People dogpile on vitality pot requests because your getting a gift of double exp and you are asking "is this it?". it makes you look like an ingrate. if you get double xp weekend, you want a full week of it. if you get the full week, you want vitality pots. If you get pots and you want 10 minute maintenance potions. If you get those and now you want 30 minute potions. what will you want next? 24 hour potions? full week of full vit?
as usual with events and such, you are getting something as a bonus for doing what you were already going to do anyways. take the bonus xp as a gift and stop making yourselves look like spoiled children.
lol unbelievable.... is all i can say.... i give up, you guys are incompetent lol, cant even answer the post properly and make up stuff.. now i see how rumors are created, like you make this thing out to be a huge deal... all we did is suggest 2 things... and yet we end up being spoiled? and children none the less? are you that dense? your accusations make no sense, and yea we suggested things? how is that inappropriate? This is the Thread to bring it up in ,
Suggestions,
-give out 5 revita pop/vit maintaining potions 30m
-allow sell/trade of old current existing items, chocolate cookies,revita pops ect, for the double exp week,
-or when refill random vitalitys to characters, make it server wide, weather you are logged in or not. or near the gm or not.
these are great suggestions, and how is this being greedy/childish/or any of the accused dumb reponses any of you have posted....
seems to me some of you are the childish ones, grow up, get laid, get a life

OMG, OMG - I had to pinch myself! Who says NCSoft doesn't listen.
Awesome event Cryo, Sace, Moxie. Thank you very much!
After being gone for a week with work, school - this will be nice to catch up some.
And seriously, I have like 5 vita pops left, but i'm sure not complaining! This is a HUGE bonus, that I don't think I've ever seen in the last 7 years.
Everyone should be VERY thankful, epecially newer players and those of us getting closer and closer to 85. This will make a difference. Also will make a difference when people find out about this - and I'm not talking about all of the regular posters. There are probably thousands of players who never post here, but do read the forums.
Someone talked about maybe getting Vitality items later on, which wouldn't surprise me. I'm very greatful that we're getting such an event, and hopefully there lots more to come between now and GoD. It will certinaly help incresae the number of players - which is what I'm hoping for.
Great Job on this one NCSoft. Might be some late nights this week????
Naia server has enough toons (that claim they are new players in game) that did 1-82 in 1 month and are geared in a grade or from treasure chest summoned gear,most of them are support classes,knows only how to hunt in silent valey and gc,dont want to enter an active clan and are shouting all day and night in aden for xp party.
Those players dont need any more vit events,they need to find ways to make adena and when basicaly geared,enter a clan and learn to play in game with other people.The goal in this game is not reach the top lvl even naked leeching from random players(unless you bot to sell the toon),its to build friendships and relationships,make enemys too,create a life for your character,support some one and battle against somebody else.
I was in for more vitality in the past,but now its overdone.Having to grind 5h per day for more than 6 months after 80+,was too much,but also do 1-84 in 3 months is also too much.
L2 is not the stage before GOD,when every player does the 1-85lvling.My toon lived so many storys in the years that lvled from 1-85,how many storys do those new ''1 month old players'' do live?

-give out 5 revita pop/vit maintaining potions 30m
You get 7 days of 2x XP/SP and now you want more Vit for more XP? That is greedy (give me more xp, more, more)
-allow sell/trade of old current existing items, chocolate cookies,revita pops ect, for the double exp week,
A nice idea, but with looking into GoD with better drops etc. while having more Vit ppl will start to cry then for sure
-or when refill random vitalitys to characters, make it server wide, weather you are logged in or not. or near the gm or not.
It's not random, ppl that are at the GK get it. So log ur toon and let him near the GK (But the server wide is a nice idea, cos the lag at the GK sucks ^^)
these are great suggestions, and how is this being greedy/childish/or any of the accused dumb reponses any of you have posted....
seems to me some of you are the childish ones, grow up, get laid, get a life
In the end, u get a lot of xp help from NC and u still ask for more.
So you will hit 85.100% and then you still need gear.
Ppl should realize that gear > lvls nowadays.
Trade some of the fast xp you can get nowadays and sacrifice em for not so good xp loc with better drops/spoils etc. Thats how to go.
PLEASE hand out GM buffs and vita at Fantasy Isle instead of towns.....
you got it right once then went right back to clogging up towns and GK w/ afk ppl all day again. if your gunna have 200 ppl afk FI would be a better place to do it.

That does it, I'm burning PTO and taking a vacation day. You said the magic words!
Just wonder how the chance can be doubled since some mobs simply dont drop stones. And some drop with 100%.
Either they changed it that the others drop too now, or it is the simple 2x amount on drop from the mobs that already drop it. This would mean same as last time and nothing special :confused: :D
But at all, i dont care too much. I am happy enough already !!!

Statistics aren't my best area but I think I can volunteer a possibility.
Assuming some drops have over 50% drop rate (Stones) that means that you should theoretically get the drop 100% of the time with double drops.
However, let's consider that double drops isn't just "chance to drop x2" but simply a second drop check. Example during double drops:
You kill a mob and a drop check is run to see if it will drop stones. The chance is 70%. You fall outside the 70% and no stones are dropped.
Then, another check is done for double drop event where stones 70% is calculated again.

Still there are ppl that never saw it like you. Im a newbie around and i fully understand what you saying here, plus i feel exactly the same. Even more to note: at GoD, all map you are used to will change. Do you guys have been in dwarven village? Well i was there 2 days ago and stoped at blaksmith store... wanna know why? because you will get a huge crater at its place..... this is one of the "my stories" on L2.

Cheers
The night i read about starting villages destruction i went in dwarven village and took some beautiful pics just siting outside of shops...Place (like most of old places)is so awsome like a live fairytale and new devs' work is to destroy that.When we got the event with horse mount,a friend who plays sometimes loged to see the event and when he saw the horse he told me''let's go for a ride in the country'',he told me to port in one of the old forgotten places and we spent the hour of mount talisman riding our horses together and taking pics through waterfalls,trees and games of light.
It felt almost like i was riding a horse in the country for real and ive lived with horses for some years so i know what im saying.
Double drops still affected by the time of day? Peak times they go up or...? I ain't seeing no increase to the rates and I play around 4-6est PM time, matter of fact they seem to be worse or is it just KRandom kicking my *** again.
Can I ask if is x2 chance also for spoil or I am just unlucky?
Seems 2x rate and amount to me but nothing scientific. I am remembering 1 sop spoiling before, 2 now, same with other spoils, lol from 1 spoil i got 1 tat ear part 1 ring 1 neck part, don't remember that before. Sweep seems successful more often as well :D I'm not real attentive to details so this is just my impression but I love the double adena drops :D
Just wanted to say Thank You!!! to the GM's that are buffing!
1. 15 munutes works, 10 min was a horrid rush. I like to get them on several toons so if I park them at FI I usually get most. :) I know I'm slow, I lag and dc a lot (particularly when rushing to get buffs/vit lol) so it really helps to have 15 minutes instead of 10.
2. Fantasy Isle YES! Easy to get to from anywhere! (and cheap :p )
3 Nice announcements at beginning middle and end, helps if you happened to be afk or logging to different toons and miss the announcement.
4. Of course would like to see them a little more often but they seem to come about 4 times per day which is livable.
5. Fun Transforms! (I wanna be Valakas :D )
so Thank You GM's for taking the time, for doing it right and for making it fun :)
Hi thx for buffs and vit but...
Have you paid attention to GM buffs timing?? It says "random" but what I can see is: they are given around 5:00 and 2:00 AM in London time (GTM 0)! never during "our" day time so I must be awaken between 0:00 and 2:00 and between 5:00 and 7:00 if I want to have vit (buffs...I have my buffers but vit is much more important). Is not fair! If GMs have their work timing and must sleep and relax, put 1 NPC to give GM buffs so everyone can have them and with the advantage that we can choose buffs. Also dances/songs are not useful ... 3 min even if we have a summoner ... we can kill 4 mobs with them . This is not a criticisme is just a constatation in the hope of better help from GMs.Thx for your understanding

are you sure its x2 drop rate ? bcoz for me there is no difference in the drop rate , previous 2xdrop there was really increased drop , now i don't think so

I have to agree it seems only adena and xp are double, but the drop rates seems less then it was before.
Everyone will be 85.100.. and maybe we can watch interesting pvps happen... for a change.
If you wait first get 85.100% to start pvp .................................
The ones that are 85.100% are quiting game,just watch aden stairs and the ones that plan to keep playing are selling their noble and vorpal armors since they read GOD infos,so they cant pvp with their armor in shop.
Items drop rate been so poor(or even more poor)like before,made this event useless,atleast to me.
I've been pvping for a lot of time.. but I'm noticing that some people only pvp when they are higher lvl then other... maybe if everyone was at 85.100% all would pvp.
On the drop rate issue .. Me and other ppl I have been discussing with are confirming that there is no double drop rate for items other than adena.
I have played countless hours on a specific spot with the same toon the same gear the same buffs. And the statistic "average" rate with my killing speed was always 1 Wind Stone / 40 Minutes. Sometimes it was 3 stones in one hour, some times was no stone in one hour. But after countless hours the same was observed ...
1 Wind Stone / 40 Minutes average.
I started playing my main solo again to reach 85,99% and farm some stones. Though playing with GM Buffs so my rate should be even faster I don't really observe the double drop for stones.
Having played for more than 10 hours during double drop rate stats should have started to converge to a 1 Wind Stone / 20 Minutes .. And all I can observe is the same Wind Stone / 40 minutes rate ...
That's not just bad luck .. Any item/20min rate is not that rare, you can really observe it after having played 10 hours ..
Either some drops are not double rate or we have a mass hallucination effect ..
I see that only amount of drop for some items increased :P seal stones have a chance to drop - 70%, in double drop it should be 140% so always from every mob. Drop rate here is still 70% cause from some mobs there are dropping sometimes only red seal stones or nothing :) But amount of gss or rss or bss is always doubled.
I don't know how is with element stones but if drop rate is doubled here you can only feel difference on spots where stones drops was more than 5, 10% chance cause in delusion chamber for example 1% or 3% is not that huge difference :P
Everyone will be 85.100.. and maybe we can watch interesting pvps happen... for a change.
I second that.
And maybe instead of Double XP, use large exponents, and make a no-limit repeatable Palaika quest with the amount of XP being given doubling each time you do it. Maybe then one of my characters will reach level 80, let alone 85. :D

Honestly, I didn't see any change on the drop rate either. I see that adenas are doubled, I didn't test catas, but drops and spoil seem to be unchanged to me.
i guess i be reaching 85 100% with the next dbl xp event aswell :o
if possible add something else to the dbl xp event on top for the people that are alrdy maxed , so we get to wast some shot to get something Nice aswell
maybe 25 large dragon bones for every main char thats lv 85
so we might finally get to finish the legendary tales quest
+1 make the event so that it also gives something to those that are 85 100%
as it is right now the "fun" for them is either help friends xp or gank non stop enemies that are trying to xp..You have 7 toons 85 100% and all maxed subs :eek:
We sure appreciate it! I'm betting these events do make a big difference for the vast majority of players! I know I got my buffer account (after 7 years the Anniversary Event was a great opportunity to finally get a buffer - and with this event I went from C greade to A grade - nice, and didn't spend much on gear or weapons). Also got my main from 50% into 82 (as well as my alt from C to A grade helping my buffer account).
I'm guessing these two examples are what many new and returning players experienced - all good for the game, and bring and keeping new players. For the first time in awhile I actually made decent funds (enough to get some A grade gear for my alt, and emp pots/milk/etc.) while xp'ing.
Pleae keep these events going! The positive thing is not just the events themselves, but word spreading about the events - which gets and keeps new players. Although there's some negative posts - I can assure you that the vast majority of those reading the boards (most of whom don't have the time or the inclination to post lots) are checking this out, and are encouraged by what they see.
We can announce that the next double XP (and other cool stuff too) event will be in mid-July. :D More details about that will be posted later.
Before then, we'll have a system event, with a NPC and event items and what not. We'll announce that in about a week.
Ok, if the Next double XP event will be in Mid July, It'll be either the 13th or the 20th July
If there is a system event, let's say there is one week before the start of the Double Xp Week and the end of the System Event.
System Event are usually 2 weeks.
So the Next System event will either start the 29th June or the 6th July.
29th -> 13th seems the only viable option for me :D
Usually, events are announced one week before the start. So I guess Sace will give us news very soon :)
If it will be dropin event please give us 2 weaks for droping one for exchange, some of us will have again siege time at weakend so -> not a lot event items :/

If there's an event between now and the XP event mid-july, it will probably be a one week drops, one more week to get rewards. If there are drops of course.
