The Passion Treasure Chest is being reloaded with updated rewards.

Last event it was not unusual to get 100 enchant packs from 100 passion chests. I'm guessing this event is the same since the enchant pack is still on the prize list?

Paying 100 times more for normal enchants is not my best use for ncoins, just saying.
Any information on the Kelbim Weapon Pack?
Is it permanent? Random Weapon?

It will give a random Kelbim weapon when opened (which is permanent).

That should not happen this time. The new reloaded passion chest item distribution rates have been completely recalculated based on the latest economic data so it now gives a better variety of items.
Hi GM
Passion Chest can be traded? and the Bloody + Dark coupon can be traded?
Will the NPC in Heine that lets you upgrade brooches and make jewel powder still be there after maint, and can I still upgrade my brooch?

Thanks for the reply.
Looking forward to see some open boxes then. ;)

Yea the latest brooch options added to Shadai are permanent additions to the game.

Apparently is the same as it was before. If it's not normal EWR/EAR -> GEWR/GEAR -> BEWR/BEAR -> Lucky stones....

it's still just ENCHANTS..
Ya, I just wasted 20 bucks on ear/ewr, gear and 5 wit dyes. Complete crap
You've to spend a grand at least to get something better.At least the chests are 160 coins, instead of 399 they were before ;)
Actually you people who only got Enchants haven't fully realized how fail this promo REALLY is.

So I dropped $50 just to try my luck. I wasn't expected a lot but hey, you never know. NC didn't disappoint; I got mostly crap. Oh well; let me run to the grocer to shop these BEWR. But wait!! These are "event" scrolls and can't be sold to stores and that's not all!!!! They also can't be used for Alchemy AND, probably the biggest non-sensical fail of all, the EWR can't even be used to get Elysium weapons DURING THE CURRENT EVENT LMAO!

Good Job NC, you never fail to....fail LOL!

Surprise, surprise... You got Event item from an Event chest.This totally doesn't make any sense :D
Just like real life there is no such thing as get rich quick schemes in lineage 2.

Weird, I didn't get "Event" dyes or "Event" Elycum out of my "Event" Chests.

Have those ever existed? Besides, the BEWR 'Event' sell for the same on the market (Other Players) and in AH, as their function does not change so one can easily just sell those enchants and buy the 'Real Ones' they need.

Yea, these don't exist, otherwise you would have gotten them too :D
so i wanted to buy 4k ncoins and i see u charge 59,5 Euros now?

on the first button to select how many coins i wanna buy u still say 50, but when it comes to payment all of a sudden its 59,5?

not nice to try to trick your customers like that tbh :(

It's called VAT and there are 2 ways to apply it. The proper way is to pay VAT and that's it.
The other way is by using the electronic goods and services agreement, which most of the counties have, that allows virtual goods to be exempt from VAT.

Problem is that if you're from the EU, there was a lot of pressure about it and it's probably in effect again, that you pay VAT for virtual goods, at the same rates as your country.That was on and off for a while now, but it seems it's in effect again.
That should not happen this time. The new reloaded passion chest item distribution rates have been completely recalculated based on the latest economic data so it now gives a better variety of items.

The only explanation for this is to increase the demand for tauti and kelbim weapons.
Since there has never been such a demand for tauti/kelbim weapons as here.
In Freya, there is a page and a half only of weapon sales, excluding the privates stores of single players.
Since the Grand Crusade update is on the doorstep.

L2 economics class ;)
I still remember that.

Instead of a tauti weapon you will get a tauti fragment.
hue
Which server will be the first sheep? My tip is zaken.

Unfortunately you lost.

COMPENSATION?? i get my money back?
Good morning Neutron,
I have 1 Question about bloody/dark coupon, what is the chance to get it normally in-game? Yesterday i made 10+ Quests with friends but all we get is r gem... no r99 no talismans... so i would like to get some info about chance of rewards... Or only option is NCoins:confused:
I still remember that.



Unfortunately you lost.




Not surprised at all. At least they can enjoy their crap from those boxes :D
Clannie had 50 boxes and got Tauti Weap, Valakas Bottle, Dark Eternal Stones and more. He was happy.

I got 5 tauti weapons out of 4 boxes! See what I did there? Every one lies, granted some do get lucky but most lie about how much they really spend cuz they dont wanna look stupid, he probably really bought 500 boxes

It's very low chance, about 0.5-1% for bloody/dark.
Last red libra I've got 2 R99 ones, I'd say about 5% chance for these and funny thing is I've never got a Talisman of any kind xD
Don't expect Neutron to answer anything chance related, we'll see.
Surprise, surprise... You got Event item from an Event chest.This totally doesn't make any sense :D

I shouldn't have to respond to this but..... The Passion Chest isn't an event, it is a store PROMOTION. There is absolutely no reason why the rewards can't function like rewards from other PROMOTIONS. Really, why would you even argue against this line of reasoning. Sometimes it seems like you post out of pure spite.

Sarcasm right?

Specifically regarding the BEWR; they don't sell for the 75m vendor privce. Or haven't you looked at the market on Chronos?
When team make transfer all sever to zaken??

I sold (5) on AH for 75M yesterday, so they sell just fine... If people are desperate to sell cheaper, that's their problem honestly... at the end of the day, it's the same enchant and does the same thing, so I'm not selling it cheaper, lol.

I'm sorry that you're trying to profit off the L2Store, pity you.I shouldn't have told you the truth about this stuff at such an early age.
Also it may be a promotion, but the chest is event item and therfore some of its rewards are too.Hard to comprehend I guess.

I'm sorry Neutron but you should have a talk with the people responsible for those recalculations. Cause i don't see the point on buying something that would give you a considerable inferior value in return of what you spent.

All i've heard is people calling this event a scam.

First the insane prices on the brooch event, now this. I'm starting to see a pattern here, is this pattern of completely unreasonable prices to continue?
Open 50 chests (8 000 NCoin = 100$) and I get:
Giant's Enchant Scroll Pack - 12 pcs.
Blessed Enchant Scroll Pack (don't remember quantity ~9 pcs)
Bloody Eternal Enhancement Stone - 5 pcs.
Lv. 5 Legendary INT +5 / WIT +1 / Water Resistance +25 - 5 pcs.
Lv. 5 Legendary MEN +5 / INT + 1 / Holy Resistance +25 - 10 pcs.
Lv. 5 Legendary DEX +5 / CON +1 / Earth Resistance +25 - 5 pcs.
Enchant Scroll Pack - 19 pcs.
High-grade Lucky Enchant Stone Box - 12 pcs.

TY NCWEST FOR EVENT. I'M HAPPY!

The 2.0 version of Elcyum weapons, red glow instead of the bright light and with PvP bonus even. We had them a couple of months ago

But hey, nothing good lasts forever ;)
