Wouldn't worry too much about doing G9-12 with level above 300. I did it with Don and Kyu, except for a few missions that I did on intermediate level with either Seriyu (Bariaus) or Aaron (Direzie). Some missions are pretty rough, but for the most part those are also the ones that allow party. There's also more people that are 300+ or getting there soon and thus that would be able to help. I think G9 finale would be one of the worse, but IIRC that's where you are at now, so it would be possible to finish this before rebirthing.

I know what you mean about having issues on your side. It isn't much better here.

Few more thing to mention about the changes after playing some.

Mining in Barri has been improved even more than I expected. Not only do ore stack up to 50 instead of 10 and mining spot have 7 ores instead of 5, but it seems that the mining skill, or something else, gives a chance to get double ore when mining. This is on top of normal lucky gather. So if you get this double ore and lucky gather, you can end up getting 4 ores at once. Silver and gold ore also appear to be much more frequent than they used to be.

For those that bought a commerce partner, you'll be happy (I was) to know that dual wielding or using shield now works properly.


Concerning talents, let me try to explain as clearly as possible how it works.

Everyone basically has every talents, although if you have none of the skill related to a talent, it doesn't show up in your talent list.

When you create a new character, rebirth or first log in after the patch, you'll have the chance to choose an active talent. This active talent is what determine which skills gets double training. It also provide small bonus, but those are limited.

When you rank up skills, you also get training in the respective(s) talent(s). Talents are leveled no matter whether they are active or not. Existing characters will already start will several talents at various level based on skills ranks. Each new level in a talent gives you some permanent bonus, again these bonus remain even for inactive talents.

You can also use a talent related title, which are currently messed up on my side (might be just me or a game bug), and its corresponding icon. Those can be changed daily, but do not provide any bonus whatsoever. They are merely show off things.

From what I've read from Sabina (scroll down to the middle of the page), the maintenance will be late in the evening today. Sabina is the main (only I think) official link between the Nexon crew and forum users. So, should still be done for tomorrow and Nexon still managed to stick to their planned schedule, kinda, by starting the maintenance while it is still the 24th.

Edit: *scratch head* Oh wait, it's wednesday today, not thursday. So... didn't say a thing.

Assuming you already ranked blacksmith, an easier way to get PTG count up is to do them with Ferghus. His PTJs only take a few minutes: starts at noon in-game and allows you to report at 13:00 (1 PM). Surely you can find 3 minutes or so every few days to do a ptj

Alternatively


Edit: Since it's nice to know what other people are talking about and those last 2 messages are somewhat lacking in that regard, this is what you're facing during G11 finale


You need to first hit the body part to bring a head down, then to hit the head itself. There is a fourth head in the background, but because my computer is horrible I have to cut view distance which made this mission a lot more Fun than it should have been. Each of the four head must be defeat, but they will continue attacking even after being individually "killed" until all four are down.

I was curious about that so I went to check the wiki page for future content, which of course might not be completely accurate. Lots of changes.

S3 would also change the G9-16 so that quests reward AP and allowing players who already completed them to receive the AP too. It would also change how the missions level are determined, based on talents rank instead of total level. I'll probably put on hold the G9+ missions on my characters, except for Kyu because I do want the alchemy skills.

I'm a lot more excited about this update then the first and second season of G17.

Traffic? I think I might have saw Dir and Aco in the last 2 days. Maybe.

People have fled Mabi. And I'm about to do the same if the situation doesn't change soon. I don't need a MMO to chat with myself. I do that as much as I want IRL, without having to deal with buggy client or lag.
