Take my money now please.
remove topaz from olyss!! >.<
i guess 300 dollars for all +3 jewels and 1000 dollars for all +4 with a chance for a +5 or 2. good luck
Shall be possible to answer my PM Juji 02-09-2015, 07:47 PM for get some advice or solution

Ty Tuky
Don't care about new limited-time L2Store, just kick this stupid gameguard who doing nothing and all 3rd system by-pass him.Take the Frost system from Inova, this one work at least !
Can you boost fishing XP? Atm the safest xp way, other than solo ofc. Ty.
One month event? Free augment removal please!
In short, we will get Innova system, last year p2w NCwest system or some new lol $$$$ system ?

You shouldn't compare to Innova, it is a private server and they modify their client freely.

But as I know Brooch items became available in Korea too with any newer update in same form as it appeared on Innova servers.

So, yes in shortly It would be good time to NCwest too to add these items to Mammon and let the players buy the brooch items from the Mammon.

Also as loyal customer I say to NCwest, that I happy shopping in L2Store, but only fix items and not luck based ones like the Brooch items. This is mean, that for sure I won't buy NCoins to get lvl 2-3-4-5 items even if they give good stats.

Make available these items at the Mammon than will available to me too and this is additional motivation to buy Prestige Packs, Runes and another stuffs from L2Store.

Currently the Lineage 2 is the best money maker of NCwest (yes better than AION, GW2 or WS) so we deserve the respect.
+1 to the brooches being added to mammon npc this way the castle owners can make some money :))) and in L2store they should add the jewels and not random boxes this way everybody will be happy
we get what Korea has so if they don't have it @Mammon then neither will we get it..

of course it would be nice if we could get it like this:
- NC Store with random boxes: low price with even lower price when buying large qties
- NC Store with the actual jewel boxes: a little more expensive then the random chance boxes and again slightly lower price when buying large qties
- Ingame at special NPC: can be Mammon can be regular trader npc

let's not forget that to level up the Jewels you still need merge many of them as the success rate is pretty low


ps, I would love to have a 6 slot Brooch :D

Next update they will be in mammon too!
link to the Korean source that supports that statement please as that's news to me ;)
Next update they will be in mammon too!

I bet in 99% the will be clean shop event $ to win. And dont forget like Draecke say, chance to fail upgrade still in last was "99%". I know ppl who combine ~50 topaz and not got lv4.

This would be the perfect distribution,hope it goes like this!
Btw compound rates are public somwhere?
This brooch system ruined the game allot of good people left/quit the game because of brooch
If u dont invest hundreds of dollars in this event u can prety much forget about pvp and being able to compete with others who have lvl 5 topaz for instance
Or olympiad u will have no chance to win getting hit for 13 k health per click its just dumb.
thats part of why u see olympiad so dead only boxes join for quest this pay to win wont last much longer more and more people will quit with every event caz they so fed up with this system.
1st person that comes to my mind that quit was life rr leader quit beacause of brooch and many more that I wont mention
link to the Korean source that supports that statement please as that's news to me ;)

I wrote the "as I know". I heard from more players about it in game and in different forums also.

But whatever this would be a good stuff from NCwest probably would make the people happier.

And if we look what Summoner99, told that was players who left the game because of this, with this step maybe NCsoft would be able to lure back a part of them also.
Maybe some players who have the info from previous Brooch Event could share percentage of success when combining jewels. Thus we can calculate to which jewels we can focus on and up to which level, depending on our available adena (since they will also be sold in boxes by players). If someone has this info plz share.
You can download the latest quarterly earnings report, published today, from here:
http://global.ncsoft.com/global/ir/quarterly.aspx

In the folder there is an Excel file called IR_Consolidated FactSheet. When you open that, you can see on the first page The Consolidated Company. Innova is not a part of NCsoft. It is a Russian company which has taken out a licence to publish Lineage 2 in Russia and the rest of Europe, like once upon a time AsianMedia for the Philippines and the rest of South-East Asia :)

I'm sure far more will come around this time. Many didn't know just how crazy overpowered they were before they went out of the store last time.

Honestly idk how hard is to make a lvl 5 jewel(did many lvl 4 with 1st event and just stop cuz im not greedy :) )Anyway i do belive this lvl 5 that are around are from that event when ppl use to get lvl 5 full jewel.

Except I was on NAIA at that point and I haven't saw a single one getting linked nor did I get hit by a 13k topaz hit in oly from any serious spender that could have one. And for the continuity of this discussion , even assuming there really are as many as 10 in all servers which I doubt , the point still stands that the poster above shouldn't take it as anyone will have a lv5 topaz because one thing is for sure the number of produced topaz won't be anywhere near anything as impact full . So please start understanding the spirit of what I say and why and stop trying to be technical over details for the sake of trying to flame.

The fact that ppl is not showing them around doesnt mean anything. See the animations lvl 4 is yellow,lvl 5 red. No1 is trying to flames u just pointing out ur mistake when said theres no lvl 5.
About the chance i would said is quite low,On core they had at very begin the chance to buy the box they wanted from the store directly(i.e obsidian) and yet u dont see many ppl around with lvl 5 yet.

It's mostly an impact in Oly, and all you need is one or two to get passed around in a serious Oly clan to make a major difference.

There won't be a ton of randoms with them it's true, but some who get them will likely sell them for a ton of adena. It's mostly going to be to those who can shell out a ton of $$ in the ncstore, or a ton of adena to buy them in game that will get them.

well ya dont know if ya dont try :p

LF that message :D:D:D
I like the Brooch Jewels because it gives players more items to collect (more to do ingame)

However, I would really prefer that all levels of the jewels be tradeable, to create a mid-level economy for lower-tier players. People put Lv 5's in stores for 20b+. If you look at the Venir's Talisman, the prices normalized after while in the market. I'm fine with p2w as long as it creates a market for the casuals too, rather than exclusive items.

Hi Vali and Juji,
I write down some question about help or advice (in PM Juji 2 days ago) sent 2nd request after almost 7 days no answer. Is possible to answer me if request came OK and we only need to wait till answer or was that text automaticaly deleted and we now only silly waiting for something that never come (like Waiting for Godot).

thx for your answer and best wishes

Tuky / Naia

P.S srry for my bad english skill
vali, juji why u dont put the rare accesory pack without bronchs ;C
8k ncoin for 1 month is too much
well like I say, pro $$$ to win :) no ingame, and including topaz, PRO !!!
yea i was hoping the jewl boxes were going to be cheaper but a girl can dream right :(
Hey folks,

Just wanted to update you on something, it seems that the Fish Stew consumable item will over-ride the stat increasing event buffs from Coco Brownie since they have similar effect.
vali, juji why u dont put the rare accesory pack without bronchs ;C

that's actually cheaper then the original event and you can sell the jewel boxes on the market for adena..
Last year I spend 100 us on the event highest lvl jewels I have is 3 no topaz and no obsidian those are rare and fail allot with this event people will cash out big to get lvl 4s and 5s and u will see oly will be just rediculas because of topaz
The people that dont spend money on l2 and are low on adena can just erase game today
Currently the Lineage 2 is the best money maker of NCwest (yes better than AION, GW2 or WS) so we deserve the respect.
Uh? Data on sales tell another story.

on core 4slot + 40 boxes for 47euro. and easy to make lvl 3.+++ so...
+perma in store
Uh? Data on sales tell another story.

Quarterly sales I mean in the newest quarter:
Wildstar: 5,491 BWN
GW2: 19,272 BWN
L2: 19,472 BWN

Ah yes the AION is little more, but close to same.

Vali,

did they change the rate of compound jewells right ?

Tell people the true please, i think as costumers we should know cuz in the first time of this event was not hard to make lvl 2 or 3 and now people from big clan where my characters belong said that is being very hard to reach lvl 2 jewell , imagine lvl 4 ...

I would try lvl 5 on my lvl 4 jewells (opal, obsidian, etc) but now im changing my mind...:confused:

Well I may tell you what happen to me and other clan member.

I buy total 10 aqua. and got 1 lv4, fail just 2 time in lv1+lv1. All other success till lv4

My clan mate use 40 Opal and max he get one lv3. Not even x2 to try make lv4.

Korean random is in action, I propose to not force up, if fail much stop that moment, leave PC some time is smart to not enter in deep sh.its...

Years of play L2 tell us the here % of success not mean noting, I know person who long ago fail craft 12 draco bow one by one, CP member fail make R95 retributer +4 with more of 15 BEWR, is still +3, I have fail 7 Icarus hammer craft in row, Fail get passive reflect in Vesper weapon 5000+ time and I stop it in end, In L2 is all random...

Ah yes the AION is little more, but close to same.

Those are not the numbers for NCWest but for NCsoft global, i.e. including Korea, Taiwan etc. Take a look at the table on the left side:
http://boards.rochand.com/viewtopic.php?f=53&t=1265&start=670#p30532
NCWest's revenue has dropped from 38 million dollars to 27 million, which is why we have this exciting Brooch event at the moment. The increased revenue from Lineage 2 was generated not by NCWest but by Innova.ru, through the great number of monthly subscriptions they got in the middle of November when the Classic servers were opened. Kim Taek-jin says that in the third point of the explanation on the top that page.

Without the one-time effect from the Lineage 2 Classic launch in Russia, about 2/3 of the NCWest games revenue is generated by Aion, 1/3 by Lineage 2:

Oh, while I do agree, for NcWest to claim nothing has changed when in fact they don't even know for sure, is silly.
All game servers will be down for maintenance on Wednesday, February 11th, 2015, at 5:00am PST / 7:00am CST / 8:00am EST / 12:00pm UTC/GMT (http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Lineage+II+Weekly+Maintenance&iso=20150211T05&p1=137&ah=4&am=30) and will end at 9:30am PST / 11:30am CST / 12:30pm EST / 4:30pm UTC/GMT.

sir i have a question why does my VP does'nt restored yet?. it's empty i though every maintenance restored VP?.. why does mine does'nt restored yet? help asap
I bet in 99% the will be clean shop event $ to win. And dont forget like Draecke say, chance to fail upgrade still in last was "99%". I know ppl who combine ~50 topaz and not got lv4.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MEqk9rUabs
I really should not have stayed up and peer-pressured to buy the $100 event brooch jewel packx80. Perhaps I would have made more profit from selling, instead of compounding them to dust.

$100 got me a bunch of single lvl 3 jewels. Failed 5-10x going to lvl 4.
So I'm guessing on average percentage...unless you're just flat out lucky, you'd need to spend $300-500 for around 1-5x lvl 4 jewels. and close to $1000, for some chance at lvl 5s.

That's just sad. lol
sir i have a question why does my VP does'nt restored yet?. it's empty i though every maintenance restored VP?.. why does mine does'nt restored yet? help asap

the restore happens on Wednesday aka on the day it self and not after the maintenance so if you played on Wednesday prior to the maintenance you most likely used up all the new vitality already..

Vitality Maintaining Potion (1-hour).

Get prepared!
Next question is going up in about 20 minutes.
Contest #2 is over, next one will be in about 1.5 hours from now (~3:30PM PDT).
Question: why we dont ban ingame bots.

Answer: too busy on forum/fb ?
Well,well,well don't you guys think they are a bit too much for extra equipment ? I mean they aren't essential equipment like accs,armors,weapons,just junks made up to milk losers (Jewel .. wtf).But,%20 ss damage ?? That's %10 pure damage ! Not p,atak or skill power,are you kidding me ? 120 attribute ? Works same way with soulshots,direct damage + %10 - 12... %15 pvp damage reduction,well thanks for being honest on that one.2k pdef,+3 all stats and so on ...

So ignoring most,if i am up against someone with ruby and obsidian,how am i supposed to defeat that guy ? Oh at least ruby has a visual effect so i can qq for him defeating me with ruby ... what about others ?

Best part is,they are on sale for 1 month and you won't be able to find them anywhere in-game or ncshop anymore,which means they will be sold for 2x price next month,5x other month,later they will run out and puufff ...

People already started to link their lvl 5 craps in ally,shout everywhere.Now that,those with big wallets filled their brilliant brooches with full lvl 5s,I wts kidney for a lvl 3 ruby maybe ? Just to get the visual effect,so people may think i'm a millionare.Forgive me for buying those stupid costumes,lucky stones ... or whichever crap i wasted my money on.It wasn't going to be enough to compete with dandies anyways.Neither i though pvp would mean clash of wallets.

Best part is,they are on sale for 1 month and you won't be able to find them anywhere in-game or ncshop anymore,which means they will be sold for 2x price next month,5x other month,later they will run out and puufff ...

People already started to link their lvl 5 craps in ally,shout everywhere.Now that,those with big wallets filled their brilliant brooches with full lvl 5s,I wts kidney for a lvl 3 ruby maybe ? Just to get the visual effect,so people may think i'm a millionare.Forgive me for buying those stupid costumes,lucky stones ... or whichever crap i wasted my money on.It wasn't going to be enough to compete with dandies anyways.Neither i though pvp would mean clash of wallets.


Q: What kinds of items are available in the L2 Store? Is the game still enjoyable without buying L2 Store items?
A: The L2 Store contains helpful items in categories such as XP boosts, supplies, cosmetic (vanity) items, special bundles and items exclusive to events, holidays, and promotions. The items in the L2 Store enhance your in-game experience by accelerating gameplay or delighting you, but you don't have to purchase anything to enjoy Goddess of Destruction.

Well,well,well don't you guys think they are a bit too much for extra equipment ? I mean they aren't essential equipment like accs,armors,weapons,just junks made up to milk losers (Jewel .. wtf).But,%20 ss damage ?? That's %10 pure damage ! Not p,atak or skill power,are you kidding me ? 120 attribute ? Works same way with soulshots,direct damage + %10 - 12... %15 pvp damage reduction,well thanks for being honest on that one.2k pdef,+3 all stats and so on ...

Not only you taking breaks from game moron ... That's also not the point.
Question: why we dont ban ingame bots.

Answer: too busy on forum/fb ?

Just because we have multiple avenues of contact doesn't mean we're not battling bots at the same time. You don't have an understanding of what goes on behind the scenes.
The compound rate has not changed from last year.


How can u say rates are the same when theres no info/test on compounding them ?!
So pls someone from l2 post a serious test on the compounding of jewels.
Tks
on core 4slot + 40 boxes for 47euro. and easy to make lvl 3.+++ so...
+perma in store

Yep ! Cheaper,with option to buy the specific jewel u want ! Why the hell do we have to buy 40 random boxes,getting emerald/aquamarin when i just want ruby ?!:confused:

Annnnndddddd you can buy random jewels and brilhante brooches in game (at mammon) !!!!!

I feal im getting constantly rapped by NCWest
Other thing i forgot to mention :

WHY CANT WE TRADE BROOCH/JEWELS ????

Last event i got a noble brooch,now i want to get brilhante.
What am i going to to with the noble brooch ?
When the 5/6 jewel broochs come out we gona get brilhant brooch stuck to ??
:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad: :mad:

FFS ! At least make the broochs tradeble....
OMG VALI Draco event prize scroll of blessing R isnt 100% ? ? ? ?
The other scrolls R2 95 99 are 100% hows that ? why Scroll of blessing R is not event type but campaign type ?
oO you cheated on me :D omg VALI !
I'll be honest I really don't like how Lineage2 promote's gambling

it started back in the day with enchanting weapon/armor then skills all the way to a wheel of Aden & low chance compounding nowadays and for some weird reason we all find that normal lmao..

ah well I should have known better so more the fool is me.
For those wanting to make an informed decision about investing in brooch gems, here is my result from the event:

Ruby Lv. 4, succeeded 1st try 3 -> 4
Pearl Lv. 4, succeeded 4th try 3 -> 4
Diamond Lv. 4, succeeded 6th try 3 -> 4
Obsidian Lv. 4, succeeded 3rd try 3 -> 4
Topaz Lv. 3, succeeded 2nd try 2 -> 3

On average, it took 9 jewels to get to stage 3. So I used about 63 diamonds, 18 ruby, 36 obsidian, 45 pearls, and 5 topaz (did topaz today and I wrote it down). I bought them individually from sell shops, and did not buy any from the L2store. I spent about 7b in total. It is a very addicting event. I'm glad I had been saving adena since late November specifically for this event. It was a blast blowing up all the jewels. It really was.

Good for you :mad:
Used 57 rubies so far, still level 2.
Failed around 20 times to lvl 3.

Used around ~65-70 opal so far, only had one attempt for 3 > 4, and it failed of course.
(meaning out of 70 opal, i got 2x lvl 3).

Pearl/Diamond ~10x each for lvl 3, both succeeded on 2nd attempt.
Cant complain there..

Conclusion, buy these and gamble if you got a sturdy desk.
If you're not on santa's good boy list, you'll be in for a nice ride..
Dammm Znipoo

Thats real bad luck.
From my experience i suspected compounding raites where going for 30%

After tacking a look at Mighty! experience we can see :
Ruby - 1x for lvl 4
Pearl - 4x for lvl 4
Dimond - 6x for lvl 4
Obsidian - 3x for lvl 4

Total = 14(attempts) / 4 (result) = 3.5

So in these case we can assum he had a 35% on compounding. Since its close to my 30% ill assum these 35% whould be the compound rates.

Ofc u can get vert lucky,or burn alot of cash.
it can be really messed up odds though.. 100+ topaz boxes and no lvl4 topaz is pretty sad.. that person is now quitting the game as he got tired of it all.
Guys before you start doing lvl5 jewels :)) i highly recommend you think about it ! :) Because that crap will cost you a fortune.

Its is ok to do aquamarine imo its rly cheap :) as for the other boxes i give u example :
Obsidian had 300 boxes. Yah 300 pure obsidians. Oh well i decided to risk and do the best of it i can :D
Out of 300 Obsidian boxes i made 4x lvl4 obsidians :)
Guys just think about it. from lvl3 to lvl 4 sometimes i failed 8 in a row.
I mean that was literaly 8x lvl3 fails.
Considering that going to lvl5 chances are drasticaly lower. You need definitely not 4x lvl4 jewels .
U want lvl 5 ? better buy it from that lucker who selling it.
highly recommended.
I have no idea how to make topas lv5 or ruby . Imo 100-200m x 300+ boxes ? Topaz lv5 is priceless.
