Due to popular demand, we are extending the XP/SP bonus from the Kartia and Baylor instances for 2 weeks, now ending on November 11th.
Bonus XP for Kartia and Baylor Instances:
• Kartia 85 Solo - 2.5x XP
• Kartia 85 Party - 1.5x XP
• Kartia 90 Solo - 5x XP
• Kartia 90 Party - 4x XP
• Kartia 95 Solo - 10x XP
• Kartia 95 Party - 11x XP
• Baylor - 26x XP
NOTE: The 50% XP/SP Boost and No XP Loss Upon Death settings will be turned off during the maintenance tomorrow as scheduled.
Although the bonuses will not be as high as the server setting event, we will consider permanently adjusting the XP/SP bonuses for these instances at a later date.

Hello Adventurers,
we will consider permanently adjusting the XP/SP bonuses for these instances at a later date.
Since HP of Kartia's bosses (at least in K95, both solo and party) are now quintuple what they were before the update it would be reasonable to adjust the xp from these instances accordingly (i.e. make it 5x XP after the end of the event).
But I have a feeling that something is wrong with these settings in general.
Months ago, there was an info on some sites directly translated from Korean sources that in the new update the level of Kartia monsters would be adjusted to match the players level, to make Kartia instances equally attractive both for level 95s and level 100+. (That is, a lvl 95 player would fight lvl 97 mobs and lvl 98 boss, while a lvl 102 players would fight lvl 104 mobs and lvl 105 boss, with properly increased HP, XP and SP.)
So far, it looks like something got lost either in translation or in development, and we received a version of the game in which the bosses got static increase in HP while the XP values are set arbitrarily (as a part of the "server event settings").
Juji and Buster, could you please look into this matter, and get in touch with the developers to find the most satisfactory solution?

You guys are doing awesome!! Keep up the good work!!
x5 k95 would be nice, NCsoft will keep their players content and also bring in more revenue with passes/xp boosts I've never purchased the 7 Day 200% boost, but thanks to this event I've bought 1 month worth for 3 different accounts and will continue to if its logical, before the multiplier k95 was not even worth doing.
i'd say adjust random instances every 2 weeks! More Awesomeness!
Quick example!
2 weeks -> Kartia 85/90 + Baylor/CC
2 weeks -> Kartia 95+kamaloka
2 weeks -> Kartia weeks! 85/90/95 boosted
bla bla bla! Awesome!
Change the game on a casual game because I see that L2 is not for you

brah, if he was so casual, he wouldn't play l2 at all. Get your head straight. Also you're posting this in every topic you posted, what the hell? Maybe you're taking L2 too serious...
On the topic.
As you think about it, these 2 instances became rather hard compared to what they were before the underground update, but their xp and rewards didn't change at all, which makes no sense. A boost of 6x-8x for KT and about 15-18x for Baylor makes much more sense. Work on it guys or you may end up with deserted kt and Baylor due to frustration among the players.

It takes about the same time to finish with a weak party.
A strong party will make it even faster than before.

Yea a strong party will clear it quicker than before but the boss is significantly harder(for some) causing the tears to flow every time, especially when they keep unintentionally healing the boss up to full lol, I like the changes.
I would like to run mystic tavern more often though, twice per week is a bummer.
Keep that boost permanently otherwise server will be empty again with your stupidity that ncwest has.
No chance to get new players if u gonna remove that boost. Because noone exps or plays this game for more than 2 hours anymore except for these people that have b o t groups.
Do something smart this time and do not disappoint us.
ps. INCREASE DROP RATE ON RANDOM MOBS. / INCREASE OE RATE ON WEAPONS AND ARMORS / INCREASE THE ADENA DROP
REMOVE THESE STUPID LUCKY STONES P2WIN L2STORE CRAP THAT U MAKE $$$$ FROM VICTIMS. FFS

Lol, i think this boost was pretty ridiculous, so many people 97+ with twilight and apo weapons +4 xD, and 99 12+ ap with seraph and specter +4, is suposed to be hard when u lvl up more not easier and when u hit 97 just turned so easy, i feel bad for people who wasted his time leveling up before this event without any XP bonus for something like 2 % per hour in EV doing kartia every day for less than 0.25% and camping rbs (not only for drops), because only doing baylor and kartya 1 time each with maphr scrolls or freya u can get more than a entire week leveling up in EV lol.
For increase drops they have to remove bots, do not be idiot, this boost was focused on 95+ people, specially 97+, and they arent "new people"

I'd enjoy a drop rate increase but of stuff that actually matter in the game these days....over the past week I have gotten from mobs....outside of cemetery a B grade sword and in Swamp 3 pairs of B grade heavy armor pants....WTF am I or anyone going to do with that junk other than sell to NPC for next to nothing. I don't understand why mobs even drop that junk when its basically free when one levels up!!
well the gear part is going to be hard on some players yes but it sure did help getting more support at 99+ levels and for those gear is slightly less important and very key for being able to keep making parties at the end game level as to many end game players have stopped playing support..
need more active iss/healer for being able to grind 101+ for the existing geared players
does suck a little for those DD players that rushed their levels as no way you can do any 100+ content efficiently with low R grade gear
does suck a little for those DD players that rushed their levels as no way you can do any 100+ content efficiently with low R grade gearI get this..but really why should we feel bad for them? Some people regardless of how long or short they've played, will never have great gear. Some people will never be able to do any 100+ content "efficiently". It's just the way it is, but it can still be enjoyed. There's always a "weak" one in every group, it's part of the daily challenge we all deal with every day. It's gonna happen. It's normal for there to be different levels of people in society...everyone can't be elite. And tbh life would be boring if everyone was perfect.

Essentially.. without poverty life would be boring? You should really keep your opinions regarding RL issues and politics to yourself. Personally I believe that people should work for their gear rather than extend the hand, if you work hard enough in game or IRL you should be able to afford that gear eventually.. People need to stop asking for handouts and earn their keep.

People need to stop asking for handouts and earn their keep.Really didn't add any politics, so not sure what you're getting at. I'm just saying if everyone was a king, who would be ruled? And since you hate me so much, just be a big boy and ignore me. Read my "crap", make a comment to yourself, and move on. I wasn't targeting you in any way, but apparently a nerve was hit. I was trying to support the little guy out there who can't afford gear like the "pros" here. I was trying to say everyone has their place. And no it's not true, that if you work hard enough in game or in RL you can afford "great" items. I know many people in game that don't have "great" gear..they have "good enough" gear. "Good enough" to play everyday and enjoy it. I also know people who BUST THEIR A** in real life, just to make ends meet. So let's not go there. I agree hard work deserves reward, but it's just not always the reality.
The entire community decided they wanted easier levels.. and got it, everyone benefits from it including the company. I'd say there's quite a difference between that and a few BR's wanting free r99 gear.
I understand that some people worked very hard to reach 99 and are probably ****** but I highly doubt those who were unable to level past 95 before the event will amount to much anyways, what are we left with? a bunch of lvl 99s in twilight gear ...easy targets.
a bunch of lvl 99s in twilight gear ...easy targets.
Initially, maybe. But hopefully after attaining decent levels clans would be interested in them, and maybe help them in their efforts to get better gear, or at least do enough epics and hunting to get adena enough to afford something.
If they choose to stay in twilight at high level, and think they can pvp, then I say go get em ;-)
