  I'm actually pretty disgusted, I thought B12ers were better than this.

It doesn't come as a surprise to me. I'm turned off at the hostility whenever these threads come up and the angry people emerge. I can understand irritation, but being downright rude to somebody who's clearly not a bot is uncalled for.

I doubt that the guy will come back after being greeted in such a way.

This kind of thing makes me glad that I stopped bothering with consoles after the PS2. Does XBox Live still charge a monthly fee? Did Playstation 3 start doing that as well?

Was this game play tested by robots or what? So far I'm not having much fun. The overworld is pretty disappointing as well.

PS: LoL fans are /literally/ worse than Hitler.

Everybody that is alive has the capacity to be stupid.

There's a large-ish thread about it here:

Hairless, naked dwarves.

I've made my way to the end of Tier 2 several times now, but i'm still having trouble towards the end, and I feel like i keep farming crowns to get energy without a net output. Right now i have an Ascended Calibur, Winmillion, and 3 stars cobalt armor, but i think i need to go another route as far as armor goes, the Azure set is nice against piercing damage but almost nothing actually deals that kind of damage (i think there is only floor spikes and one of the lichen attacks). I'll probably try to get the elemental cloak thing, and maybe later i'll try to get an angelic set for those pesky undead and fiends.

But i can't imagine how many runs i'll need to do before i get all the recipes.
At some point i'll also have to do royal jelly runs (for the sealed sword, for the avenger and faust), but first i'll need 4 stars armor and some way to inflict poison status (or a good team).

Remember that the most effective way to gain profit from your expeditions is to bring back recipes to sell. When you reach the checkpoint, grab a few popular 2 star recipes and resell them for about 1.8k-2k. A good way to do this is to copy a WTS message similar to:  WTS: 2* Wolver Coat Recipe [1.8k]           in notepad and then paste in in /z chat in all of the existing havens. Then return to the very populated and spammy havens and post the message whenever it gets bumped off the screen. Once you have enough saved up, move on to selling 3 star recipes for 6.8-7k, and eventually 4 star recipes for 18-20k. Don't be afraid to negotiate and drop the price for people, as long as you get it out of your inventory you'll be making profit. Also remember that the quickly rising energy costs are making the game more difficult to newish players, don't get discouraged. It gets easier.

Try not to make the mistake of bringing back unpopular recipes. Look around at what people are wearing and get a sense of what they'll most likely buy from /z chat. The wolver series is popular, as is the magic series. Cutters, too. Spiral demo suit. Etc

Another quick edit here. As long as you're sitting in town doing whatever, even if you're just talking to a friend, keep a close eye on /z for material seekers. If you EVER get a chance to sell off materials I recommend that you jump at it. Even if you're selling two shards for 200cr total it's 100% profit, because you'll most likely never use the materials yourself. There are exceptions of course, like if you're planning on crafting something and you only have one of those rare materials. Hold on to that, obviously. Just the other day I made 15k in a single transaction by selling materials in bulk. I didn't quite get the full amount of crowns that they were worth, but I was totally fine with it because I was actually making crowns from them at all. It's better to sell low than to never sell at all when it comes to materials.
