Ty a lot for testing Juji!
Thanks a lot for the test! It might be a good idea to put a link to this thread under the description of the Energy of Destruction on the Destiny Pack page:

Since the upgrading process of the Seed Talismans works on a random basis, ill-meaning people could insinuate that you are trying to induce children to gamble for real money. By posting the chances for a successful upgrade together with the product you want people to buy, you can preemptively counter such accusations :)

To make things clearer, here some screenshots LethalArcher took:

I'm really interested in what happened when you didn't get the talisman of longing. Can you publish some results what talismans it gave you each time when it failed?
That's something I would be interested in too. Like for example in one of your trials you got the Talisman of Longing after 8 attempts. According to LethalArcher's screenshot you should have a halfways even chance between either keeping the Talisman of Desire you took as your sample, or downgrading your sample to a Talisman of Hellfire. So when you did that Longing trial, you kept your Desire 4 times and downgraded to Hellfire 3 times until you got the Talisman of Longing?

The problem with downgrading a Talisman is that then you have to upgrade it again. But if luck is against you, you may downgrade your Talisman even further. What you did in your test is to describe the outcome of individual attempts. A player however is more interested in the fate of his or her individual Talisman. Could you maybe in a follow-up experiment take one single talisman and note its ups and downs? Something like this:
1. Attempt Annihilation to Hellfire: stayed same
2. Attempt Annihilation to Hellfire: downgraded to Infinity/Destruction
3. Attempt Destruction to Annihilation: success
4. Attempt Annihilation to Hellfire: success
5. Attempt Hellfire to Desire: downgraded to Annihilation

Do you understand what I mean? :)

can you make specific experiment on each stage of talisman? so the result will be in % rate of success. So we can forecast the total number of material needed and adena on each stage. Thank

Spend 5 min of your time and you can do it yourself.
Kinda selfish and demanding that some1 else has to spend his time so that you haven't to spend yours.

Also there would been way more tests needed to show a half accurate success rate.
My test was , first time success to annihilation, first success to hellfire, first success to desire, first success to longing :x
up to hellfire on first attempt and too chicken/greedy to go further
Friend had:

3x Attempt Annihilation to Hellfire: Stayed the same
1x Attempt Annihilation to Hellfire: Downgrade to Destruction
1x Attempt Destruction to Annihilation: Success

Thats around 800kk Adena wasted.
I will just wait Kaliel's item to upgrade without going down :D
free bump as a warning to ppl as even with kaliel trying for longing is insane cause the real odds are much harder then what's posted here..

of course maybe I have had some serious bad luck but still take it from someone who tried don't be so optimistic to think the test here from Juji means anything as it's still Korean random meaning you can easily fail more times then the worst case he has listed as 12 tries..
Failed 3x Hellfire -> Desire
Also heared about ppl that failed 5x Desire -> Longing (~ 8b Adena incl. Kaliel's Desire for 1,2b ) and some that had even more fails.

@ Juji:

Would love to see again a few tests just for:
Hellfire -> Desire
Desire -> Longing.

Cos right now the 1 try of you from Desire -> Longing is kinda missleading.
I think again here depends on luck, not about how many times u failed.
One guy made Longing from first try, other failed hellfire 5 times.

wow, thanks a lot for this test :)
TY for the fast test.
Sadly it's as shocking as we thought >< :(
btw Juji there seems to be some confusion about the item description of a sealed talisman of longing as some say it can be traded between other chars while others say it can only be traded between chars on the same account through the dimensional trader npc ?

The description says "acquired Talisman - Longing cannot be exchanged...etc," which is referring to the Talisman you receive after you identify the sealed item. A Sealed Talisman of Longing is tradable, but not dimensional.

got longing after a total of 14 tries so I guess it's doable if your crazy enough
lol this test shows desire and longing has the same chance.
desire is average longing is low ..... confused
lol this test shows desire and longing has the same chance.
desire is average longing is low ..... confused
desire -> longing is rly rly low chance.
Many tried it and average tries are 10++ up to even 22 i heared.
Anihhilation -> 1st Try -> Stayed Annihilation
Annihilation -> 2nd Try -> Hellfire

Now w8ing for a Kaliel energy at a proper price to try for desire.

It will not be in our build until 3.0 and the box will have a low chance to receive that Energy box.

1-3b spent on just upgrading these Talismans is a very small price to pay in comparison to what the Talisman of Longing is worth. Don't expect a cake walk here with upgrading though. You could sell the Sealed Talisman of Longing for more than 10 times the price of upgrading.

Don't even try to get Longing unless you can spend 10b+++ for that.
I tried 16x Desire -> Longing with Kaliel's as the event was running, and all tries failed.

In Lindvior there will be an item called "Elsium" which has a roughly similar function as Kaliel's Energy:
http://power.plaync.co.kr/lineage2/%EC%97%98%EC%8B%9C%EC%9B%80
That item is not easy to obtain either (you must crystallize quite a lot of good equipment), so maybe the best strategy would be to save up and buy a ready-made Sealed Talisman of Longing.

gratz!!!!
Thnx kirill! After a quick look I made in this topic, it seems I'm the first one (I mean in this topic only) who spent the less money for Longing (0 fails, and all GE bought from CH for 5,5kk)..

Jeez I feel excited, if you imagine that I was 100% sure that Desire would downgrade to Hellfire, after all previous successfull tries untill Desire..

Btw I love the visual effect of Longing when I equip it! :D
Noob question:

Is it posible to have more than 1 talisman at same time? lets say 2 hellfire, or 1 hellfire and 1 anhilation?

Items seems to have no restriction on that

Not possible. Only the effect of the highest talisman will work.

legit players with 7+ years experience ON the MARKET made billions!!!! and still amiing them...

i am a proud clan leader with 45 members and all of them dressed up in top oe B/A/S grade and only 16 of us in top S80, R grade with blessed apo duals/bows/pole

know your game, market, AH
I made Longing at my fisrt try... im kinda lucky bastard :P
long story short: billions of adena and ncoin for energy spent
made 7 attempts at longing from desire
failed all 7 with 4 times downgraded to hellfire

i say if u at hellfire, stay there so u wont be tempted

because if u get desire u know u will try for longing :)

hope u have deep pockets or true luck
I made Longing at my fisrt try... im kinda lucky bastard :P

Man, I hate you...
I made Longing at my fisrt try... im kinda lucky bastard :P
And that's the point where i am totally mad about the korean random.
So far 18 tries (16x with Kaliel's Desire) and all failed :mad:

But well, it is like it is. Huge gz to you.
first try annihilation->hellfire
first try hellfire->desire
frist try desire->longing

i'm one lucky bastard :D
where do u get kaliels energy from?

Although this is Innova and the rates might differ from our server, it should validate Juji's test.
Using those probabilities, and starting from 0 I get this mean cost to get a Longing talisman :

Mean cost for Giant's energy :
3037.9

Mean cost for Energy of Destruction :
1779.6

I ran 100,000 simulations for it :D
I don't know how to calculate the chance with Kaliel Energy, let's assume it doesn't change the chance to get a given talisman, just than in the case it should go back it will stay the same. Then we have the following cost with counting the Kaliel's Energy :


Mean cost for Giant's energy :
1210.0

Mean cost for Energy of Destruction :
658.4257

Mean cost for Kaliel's Energy - Annihilation :
3.3420

Mean cost for Kaliel's Energy - Hellfire :
4.9834

Mean cost for Kaliel's Energy - Desire :
10.0106

May be some guys who used Kaliel / not Kaliel can remind us how much they spent on it :D

So let's do some math :

1210 Giant's Energy is 6.655.000.000 adena at 5.5m each.
Kaliel's - Annihlation was around 400m during the event, so it would be a mean cost of 1.336.800.000 adena
Kaliel's - Hellfire were around 700m, so it would be 3.488.380.000 adena
Kaliel's - desire well you could buy them for 1.1 or 1.2b, around 11.011.660.000 adena if we consider it at 1.1b.

Total cost : 22.491.840.000 adena to get a Longing talisman without counting the time to farm the Energy of Destruction (at least 164 days, roughly 6 months) if you are 97+.

Those are just numbers and doesn't mean anything by themselves. But it's kinda fun :D
**** you Laby, just wrote you that i don't wanna calculate numbers... Now i automatically roughly calculated.... :eek:

sounds about right, this comes close to how much it cost me.. only tried it cause at the time of the kaliel event there was a ncstore promotion selling energy destructions..

had a nice side effect of me ending up with 450 50% 1hr XP/SP boost runes.. only ~250 XP runes left now versus 400+ SP lolz

ok, now just left me to eat a cookie. bai :mad:
Here is my path to longing, very lucky considering I didn't go down.
I didn't use any kaliel's
All tries up until Hellfire were done every 10 days or so, the 4 tries to get to desire 20 days apart.
The last three tries to get to longing were done the same day.
Time frame between desire and attempt to longing around 4 months +.

never downgrading is impressive
yeah its pure luck, my dagger and my iss went through hell and still rock yellow talismans.
My tank went all the way to desire with no fails then dropped to all the way Destruction one by one..

Go figure
Now there is a new option to upgrade using elcyum to increase your chances of success. If not possible to check all steps again of the upgrade , can you please check desire -> longing using the 32 elsyum option ( which is shown as High chance of success High chance to remain the same ) ?

Chance of upgrading would most likely be the same..
Chance of upgrading would most likely be the same..

Chance as tested is Low to upgrade and High to stay same when using kaliel or now when you use 16 elsyum . The new option is using 32 elsyum for a high/high chance. I would like to know how much that high/high translates in actual % of tries so I can use my judgment to decide whether thats worthwhile or not!
the price/cost aspect is still going to depend on the market value of elsyum which during the first few months will be insane most likely ;)

Ofcourse , no doubt about that , just wanted to know if its worth it use half the elsyums needed for a pvp armor to try for longing or not . "High" as chances go is as vague as it can go when making such a huge commitment !

Elcyum system for upgrade stuff is just a bad joke, sorry for say it, but is a hell fail. Honestly, imagine the cost for you take 32 elcyums and fail in longing :P What about r99 weapons and pvp too? Lindvior just wanna clean all adena from servers and nothing else. Market is frozen in all servers, u can't buy anything or sell anything.
looks like any legit player will never be able to reach the top talisman
(* some will I know, but just looks like a daunting task to complete )

My attemts after i got Hellfire

Hellfire + Kaliel Energy -> Hellfire
Hellfire + Kaliel Energy -> Hellfire
Hellfire + Kaliel Energy -> Hellfire
Hellfire + Kaliel Energy -> Hellfire
Hellfire + Kaliel Energy -> Hellfire
Hellfire + Kaliel Energy -> Hellfire
Hellfire only w/o energies or elcyum -> Desire

But too expensive to fail to Hellfire again, so will do the last stage with Elcyum.

Just to point out, that's w/o a single NC coint purchased or rmt or bot. 100% legit since the 1st day started :) The energies of Destruction used to worry me, but as i saw in the process they're much easier to obtain then GE.
lol at your tables I have tried to upgrade Annihilation Talisman - Hellfire 17 Times and kept annihilation Talisman all 17 Times...no im not using elcyum because im not a rich player lol but other ppl I know have gotten Hellfire on there 1st try..i think ur tables are bull or maybe I just have the worst luck in L2

P.S. Im not kidding about the 17 try's all 17 ive kept annihilation :mad:

then probably you shouldnt be bothering with this adena sink in the first place and there are at least a few 100% success things to do before you do this..

Attempt Annihilation to Hellfire: Success
Attempt Hellfire to Desire: Success
And after Almost an year with desire i tryed yesterday and,

not much adena wasted when 100% success =D

Lucky dog... makes me want to test my Desire to Longing chances, but I really love the blue glow.
I was able to get two Talismans of Longing.
On my first one:
Annihilation to Hellfire - success
Hellfire to Desire - success
Desire to Longing - success
All on my first try. I sold the first one and this one im going to keep. Here was the path to getting it.
Annihilation to Hellfire - Stayed the same
Annihilation to Hellfire - Success
Hellfire to Desire - stayed the same 9 times
Hellfire to Desire - success
Desire to Longing - success
As far as I know with these attempts and what I've been told, using elcyum and Kaliel's Energy would be a waste of adena. The money you spend to save the talisman from going backwards could buy more Giant's Energy and give you more tries. But again this is another gambling thing in Lineage 2. I got extremely lucky. I know some people who cant get Hellfire, and some people who go everytime.
I know someone that even failed Desire -> Longing with the use of 32 Elcyum. Around 8b Adena gone for nothing :eek:
Ok my Attempts after Desire:
Desire to Longing (with Kaliel's Energy) -> Desire
Desire to Longing -> Desire
Desire to Longing -> Hellfire

yup - 2 bils went into the toilet, but too much n00bs run everywhere with Desire already, so no point to save it.

P.S
After all that attepts it's realy clear that the only Kaliel Energy, that is worth buying is the Annihilation. All the others are waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay much more expensive then they should be. the 2 bils for the Kaliel Energy desire would buy you 350+ GEs. Need a price at 1 / 10th of the current ones to make them reasonable (talking about Hellfire and Desire)
i want to congrats all those lucky bastids that made longing easier than others.

took me 52 times from desire to longing, not counting all the times on downgrades

sofar i have manage to fail to go from anihalation to hellfire 7 times, now i bought my self 6 kalies scrolls now just need the Giants Energy to try 6 more times if i still fail those i think i might aswell just give up getting hellfire:P sad to say but true :P

Wife:

It's all luck; Also, not sure why people pay billions for the Kaliel's, doing the math, its just cheaper to try your chances without it.
Well.. am I the only unlucky guy that got twice downgraded to destruction?

Now.. no adena and no GE.. back to farming.. :/
i have no luck when it comes to talismans getting Hellfire is hard i can even imagine desire/longing. I recently saw stats on longing and it is amazing :D

hopefully Valiance comes out soon i hear giant's energy can be bought from mammon @ 7kk ea hope its 5.5 like clan hall
Well.. am I the only unlucky guy that got twice downgraded to destruction?

Lool after all this years since you play buted got castel on bot, you dont have longin?:eek:.
:cool:
It will not be in our build until 3.0 and the box will have a low chance to receive that Energy box.

1-3b spent on just upgrading these Talismans is a very small price to pay in comparison to what the Talisman of Longing is worth. Don't expect a cake walk here with upgrading though. You could sell the Sealed Talisman of Longing for more than 10 times the price of upgrading.

Agree, but when are you guys finally going to increase drop rate and keep bots from coming back? I remember that at Goddess of Destruction the drop were at least decent (SoA used to drop 2k~3k adena per party member -7 members) now aside from Gainak and some other few spots, the average adena earned is 200~450 tops!

How do you make 3b out of it????

Solution is, find a way to ban remove bots permanently, help legit players by making adena a bit more easier (i'm not asking for a 10b adena drop from Keltirs). And don't ask me how to permanenlty ban bots, i'm not being paid to think for you people from Admin Staff ;)
one out of 5/6 my a.s.s from desire to longing with kaliel energy ..... failed 10 times in a row ....... with the price for desire kaliel I should of bought longing already made and I would have been at the half price spend till now ..... :(
25+ attempts with kaliel's annihilation :

annihilation>hellfire > stayed the same ... gg :/ guess i wont have longing :)
one out of 5/6 my a.s.s from desire to longing with kaliel energy ..... failed 10 times in a row ....... with the price for desire kaliel I should of bought longing already made and I would have been at the half price spend till now ..... :(

I know that feeling, 3 attempts when energy was super expensive (1.5b each), and 3 attempts with energy being 400m each.
Im an idiot.

Makes me to wish that those ******** who got it first try without any elcyum or kaliel desire rot in hell
11 Attempts from Annihilation to Hellfire
23 Attempts from Hellfire to Desire
and then one day:

Hellfire to Desire success
Desire to Longing success (try with Kaliel)

couldnt belive it so i went to my second account to try my luck there also.

Hellfire to Desire fail
Hellfire to Desire success
Desire to Longing success (no Kaliel or Elcium used at all)

so as u see totally random. If u have the money to spend go for it, if u dont, Keep farming or just sell your Giant Energys.
^ time to try insanity.

Go for it, I dare ya.
i got hellfire after 3 attempts using kaliel
Desire->longing 15 attempts with kaliel and still desire, does the success rate was deacreased during this $uper event??

wtb lubrifiant pots, a lot
Desire-> Longing 8 more attempts and still desire, too much $ spent in selling L2store items to fail 23 times and to be able to buy soulshot with hero coin.
Ty team, i'll keep my money from now.
buy some event boxes and try your luck!
Luck!?!?!?!? What luck!?
Luck!?!?!?!? What luck!?

No LUCK , ofcourse

23 attemps from Desire to Longing:

23 x 70 GE = 1610 GE
if 1 GE is 5.9 mil., so 1610 are 9 500 000 000 adena

23 x 35 EG (Energy of Destruction) = 805
i hope you have lots of them from dailies and 'Filling the Energy of Destruction' quest. But i know lots of ppl are buying them.

23 kaliel's energy (desire) x 90-150 mils (cheap price, cause of the event) = 2 500 000 000 ~ 2 800 000 000

At last all cost of adena is 12 ~ 13 bil. (not including ED)

Current price of Longing is between 5.5 bil and 7~8 bil.

Yes, if you ask me again, you DO NOT HAVE LUCK! ;)
Ty mate
Btw i dont spent 13b i got 700+ ge and few desire from freya box,and i sold a lot of box to complete purchase of ge at 5.6m and desire at 150m and eod packs.
Next time i'll keep $ to buy allowed auto-target and anti-hide scripts, They don't need luck and give more advantage than longing.
I think i was an unordinary lucky dwarf 0 fail on my logging...

All of them with Kaliel.
on an alt toon, desire to longing on 8th try all using kaliels. cheaper to have just bought longing imo.
Kalil doesn't help chances of success, it merely helps reduces the penalty for failure. get yourself some fancy elcyum.

I hate you NCSoft.
Annihilation to Hellfire = Success
Hellfire to Desire = Fail w/o Kaliel stayed same
Hellfire to Desire = Fail w Kaliel
Hellfire to Desire = Fail w Kaliel
Hellfire to Desire = Fail w Kaliel

This is mine so far, im giving it one last chance, since Juji's test says its about 1/5 chance for Desire success
