>>1780189 (OP)earning gold is brutal in this game. was it always this bad in official? I think by now I could've bummed off some rares to at least equip myself with NPC gear...
>>1780313that other server had people talking about multi-boxing up to 10 clients to make gold, I wouldn't be surprised if that's the advised way to make gold.
>>1780316that sounds bad...was the slow gold grind a way to entice people to the cash shops I wonder. combined with the tiny inventory size and all these crafting mats/quests it's hard to imagine anyone actually played this f2p back then. I hate inventory jewery so much it's unreal

It cost me 1mil from a player shop but I have a stone of oath needed to make a guild. Once someone with 100k shows up, we can probably make one. In the meantime, here's a guild name poll.
https://poal.me/9m4l1e
>>1780662How did you get 1 million gold. We need 1 million gold to make a guild. I was kind of looking forward to earning our own stone but this is okay too I guess...
Also I was told a decent way to get gold without multiboxing is to sell broken and cracked gems to other players via setting up a stall (which remains active even when your offline i believe). The gems themselves drop from the mazes as far as I can tell.
>>1780733I used a hex editor. I would've preferred getting our own too but it's a 20% drop chance on a 2 hour cooldown.
>>1780757I mean you didn't have to go that far. The locals were more than willing to give us one for free.

After about 10 hours of afk whacking the tree of fortune these are the results. On top of that I got about 7k of raw gold from opening the packets.
Big hits were the letter cards that sell for 10k each. Aside from that the travel tickets at the top sell for 250 and the various food has values around 20-250.
I don't know if any of this has ingame use beyond vendoring but if you can leave your client open when you're not playing then might as well do this I guess.. Maybe there are better ways of making money that make this irrelevant.

Might've found the next grinding spot for quite a few levels. Undead Warriors, level 52, 2000 health, 2335 base EXP. At level 44, In this server, they give me 4670 EXP (likely suffering from a penalty due to level difference). They aggro and hurt a lot, but they're melee and there don't seem to be many other monsters mixed in.
They're found at 530, 1810 in Ascaron, Chaldea Tundra. That's far, far to the north-west of Argent Town, but you can go to the mines and, through a chain of teleports, reach the Chaldea area, so it's a very reasonable walk.

>reminds me a bit of ragnarok.Haven't seen much similarities to RO other than "grinding on a map" to progress. Gameplay feels different, quests are hub based but also largely useless. Weapons/customization appears much simpler but I haven't got the chance to try them because poor.

>>1782931Server is dead. It's just us and maybe a couple locals.
Game starts out kinda weak but once you unlock some skills and get used to how things work partying starts to get kinda fun. That is if you like party grinding. It does have some of that RO flavor. Monsters have different stats and flavors to them. Zones remind me of RO somewhat. Big difference is partying is heavily favored over soloing.
It's kinda jank in terms of UI and what else you expect from these old games. The classes and skills could be more interesting. Bunch of systems like upgrading items and crafting I haven't been able to get into yet. Sailing seems kinda pointless. It's the only "pirate" aspect of this game.
Overall it's a lot better than the initial impression I had on the first day of playing on this server but it's kinda growing on me. It does leave you with some of that feel that it could've been a lot better game with a little more work put into it. Maybe they ran out of budget or something.

Sharing my method to farm money. Essentially, you have to kill mini-bosses for gear: sadly it depends on their 30-minutes re-spawn time, so really only one of us can do it at a time.
Here's the (I think optimal) order to do them in from each city, with correct coordinates (the ones I found on databases were usually imprecise):
>Magical Ocean (Shaitan)
860 / 3250 - Aberrance Hopping Lizard
1080 / 2960 - Man-Eating Spider Queen
1220 / 3220 - Ancient Sandy Tortoise
>Ascaron (Argent)
1632 / 3046 - Smuggler Leader
1443 / 2873 - Violent Air Porky
1115 / 2746 - Grassland Wolf Champion
864 / 2998 - Berserk Mad Boar
There is a haven practically right next to Berserk Mad Boar, I believe it's best to register your spawn point there, and do these in reverse.
>Deep Blue (Icicle)
900 / 372 - Vampiric Elk
640 / 398 - Snowy Snail Monarch
The whole trip should take 20-25 minutes, so you still have some free time. Deep Blue isn't really worth it honestly, so you can skip that, but you'll have even more down time.
You can also hunt the following in Deep Blue, but it's quite far from the other two:
2212 / 434 - Fearsome Skeletal Archer

Whats the final thoughts on this game as it wraps up? Did people quit too soon?
>>1800700it's okay. Has some decent party play but otherwise pretty boring.
I found progression to be pretty lacking, though we did receive a lot of freebies. However, it seems that to get effective gear you had to do the mazes. And to do the mazes reasonably, you had to get the gear you can get from the mazes. Which puts you in a catch 22. The main thing then to farm are the gems. While level 1 gems seem nothing outstanding, level 5 gems give you about 20 levels of stats. And you can slot multiple in all pieces of gear so they are actually fairly crucial if you want to progress. Now this wouldn't be so bad if not for the fact that all of them have at most a 1% chance drop and more often less than a 1% chance drop from the time limited mazes(every 3 hours) and chaos argent(every 8 hours). Outside of those scheduled times you can't farm for them which means you can't really progress. Did I mention you need 16 level 1 gems at these low rates to make one level 5 gem? And you also need a different low rate gem (and level those as well) to even socket them? and you need to do this 2-3 times per piece of equipment?
Additionally since the lower level mazes get locked out you need multiple chars to farm those mazes (and you can lock exp with the convenient cash shop item) so even more gems to forge.
>>1800726The worst part however is the optimal method to farm gold, as well as the only method to farm pet stuff. You see the game has this mentor-disciple system where each disciple gets 200k gold at level 41. Additionally the mentor gets a bunch of rep which they can use to get stuff from the award center which includes pet stamina and leveling items, exp berries, drop rate berries, and various other items. But naturally since there is no playerbase (though even if there was one) the best thing to do is create 4 extra accounts and level them yourself to reap 1M+ gold and rep as well as 4 exp berries and 400 fairy coins. No normal method in game comes close. You can farm drops all you like and make a few several thousand. Millions are out of the question. (and you will need millions when forging gems). There is straight up no other way to get rep so you're forced to do this if you want to level your fairy or want those drop rate berries.
>>1800731and even after all that, the game doesnt have much to offer. You get to fight a little different looking enemy with a higher number next to it. (Though it seemed like enemies were finally getting some skills at the point we were at).
>>1800700>Did people quit too soon?I think they might have. The start was messy with the servers and the early levels aren't very interesting. I'd say the fun started somewhere in the 30s for me.
>>1800726>I found progression to be pretty lackingAgreed. Classes have too few skills and you pretty much get access to them instantly as you get the class unlocked which means the only thing you do after 40 is put more points into those skills. My choice of crusader had a couple skills that were so bad you were actively harming your build if you put points into them which didn't help the limited skill pool.
Gearing systems were so heavily end-loaded that we didn't really get to play around with refining or gems so our progression amounted to minor gear upgrades every 5 levels. Accessories cost so much money that we couldn't afford them without gibs from the locals.
As far as generic korean grinders go the party play in this one was above average and honestly carried the whole experience. The monsters were varied with different strengths in their stats and even some differing behavior which led to some decision making in what to grind on. Monster variety gave me little bit of that Ragnarok feel. Not as well done as it is in Ragnarok but much better than most korean grinders. The maps are large and are decent. Map art style also reminded me of RO even if the map design in terms of gameplay is quite different.
Overall my expectations were so low that I considered not playing before we started which made it a rather pleasant surprise to find out there was some fun to be had in it.
Let's wrap up with some final guild pictures at 9:15 pm UTC, Saturday.

>>1800700I think people quit too soon, likely due to the shock of the server situation, and horrible first impression the game makes, with its tiny resolution and obnoxious UI (though the hex edit fixed that).
As others pointed out, party play is the highlight of the game. With everyone getting full EXP, there is no reason not to form a party whenever possible. Each class functions differently, bringing something that others can't. It was quite satisfying to get together and blast through enemies, even becoming able to explore areas with level ??? enemies.
Other than that, however, there isn't much to be praised. Most issues have already been pointed out, but I'd like to add a couple.
Sailing between places takes forever, and your boat being bound to the harbor you parked it at is outrageous.
Crafting is extremely tedious and simply not worth it. To craft an item, you need its blueprint. You can get "unidentified" blueprints at 1-5% drop rate, and, upon identifying it, you have to be lucky that it's the one you wanted. Then, you need the materials, a number of fairy coins, a fairy with a crafting skill, and of course, the proper crafting skill yourself. For something like a level 20 weapon, you'll need multiple items that drop with a 3% chance from chests that only spawn every 8 hours. On top of that, crafting has a chance to fail.
Honestly, I think it's terrible, but I'd probably put this above RIFT.
One of the shops in Argent now has these insane things on sale. I bought the cheapest one and no, you can't just equip it.
I believe you have to use "apparel fusion" from the blacksmith in Shaitan to merge them into your gear, and it seems you also need fusion scrolls you get from Swamp/Forsaken City, and maybe more stuff too... Whatever this is, though, it sure sounds strong.
>>1800991Yeah and having the full set gives you a chance at damage reduction as well. Unfortunately like the moron I am, I threw out my fusion scrolls cause I thought "why would I care about apparel fusion"
>>1800700Terrible game, dull gameplay even in a group, horrible resolution even with the fix, laggy server.
Just nothing redeemable about it at all.
>>1801591>dull gameplay even in a grouplol, why are you lying, you never played with us.
We seem to be in agreement that we've hit the point where, to progress further, you'd have to embark on a massive grind and nobody cares to do that, especially with our time in this game ending soon.
I still have the refining gem I got, and I imagine others have some too. Shall we gift them to Gordo? He helped us a lot, seems to be the only active player in the server, and we can't answer his wish of continuing to play the game.
If he can be burdened with the task, I was thinking we could all trade them to a certain sir who's good at handling locals, and he could give this "thank you" gift to Gordo.
>>1802574gordo nudes when?
>>1800700I was looking forward to ToP but got very busy the first week and ended up picking a class that wasnt very fun so I just kind of stopped. Shame though, I wish more games would be generous with party exp like this one.
>>1800991Stats on that are comparable to my unsealed armor. It seems like proper gear has a power level way above what we had access to.
>>1802927>I wish more games would be generous with party exp like this one.It sure was great for catching people up. In most games when you fall behind you're kinda fucked, especially if the game requires partying to properly grind.
>people fell behind and quit because they werent in the main grind party
>still claim the game was good for catching people up
At this point its malicious.
>>1803717Nice shitpost. We helped multiple anons catch up and even I personally got help when I was behind. Nobody who played was left behind unless they didn't log in. The "main grind party" was composed of 9 people when the game's party cap was 5. People rotated in as they were available and everyone who actively played got over level 50.

Just two screenshots I took while exploring the islands you can teleport to.
In this one, some sea enemies get so close to the coast, you can kill them with melee attacks. For some reason though, they're immune to my attack spell.

I used the "Ticket to Heaven" a mud monster from Dark Swamp dropped a few days ago, when I was there with a fellow anon. You get to see the Goddess herself, but there's not much to do, it appears to be how you access certain end-game features.

>>1805224Perfect, couldn't even tell it was photoshopped until I read your comment.
Sorry guys I couldn't make it to pics.
>>1805224You weren't short, can't tell who it is but loli or gema is in the wrong place.
Man I haven't played this game in decades. Holy shit might give it a spin this weekend.
>>1812309Everyone moved on to the next game already. The server we stuck with wasn't the best honestly, if you still want to play I recommend this server: https://pirategames.online/ . It launched last weekend and has the highest population. .
Alternitively:
https://piratekings.online/ if you want a 1x rate low cap server
https://rage-sage.com/ high rate high cap established server
>>1812350Thanks for info.
>only 2 windmill pictures
let me fix that
