The Guildmasters

Wow tonight has been awesome. I was really going to run from my town and carry on with my item experiment but I checked the message board first, then checked a few rooms as always. Spotted just 3 players running Home of the Knave 3 and i’ve been trying to find people to run that quest with for weeks to get my magic core+, I need two of them.

Well we ran that quest about 7 or 8 times, took 7 minutes to finish and that’s good, didn’t get a single magic core +, then the guy who was running the quest said he had had enough of Home of the Knave but if we wanted to run another quest he would so I asked where the best quest was to get Lethal Gallstone, another GR 15 was in there and said the Swallowtail glitch.

Ok so my ears perked up and wanted to know the details, he said he would run it with us, I needed just one Lethal Gallstone for my Gratos Cloak and got it first time and I thank that guy so much for being there, i’ve run Greaver Hunt more than 20 times and never got a gallstone, yet got one first time on Swallowtails, amazing.

I do feel guilty for not running with my experiment as I hate getting off a schedule I have planned but it was so worth it, i’ve been trying to get either the Gratos Cloak or the Knightlord Armor for about a month and just couldn’t get the mats.

I will get back to my experiment tomorrow without a doubt but just wanted to post what I did achieve tonight, so pleased.

You may be wondering what is so damn special about the Gratos Cloak, well there are only two pieces of top armor that give STR bonus, one is the Gratos Cloak and the other is the Knightlord Armor, this means now that when it’s upgraded to +10 I will actually have a full set of armor pieces all with STR bonuses, which would actually put my STR to over 300, something I have to try out at least once although I will probably even it all out like I usually do but it’s been so annoying at times when I need to put on extra AGI and haven’t got a top part for STR, now I do. Cool.

Well it’s now gone 3am and i’m going to bed, good luck all, hope to catch a few of you tomorrow and run some quests and get some of my item experiment done.

I’m working on an experiment by running 100 quests to see what rare items these new NPC’s are giving and what the % rate is, since getting these new expensive NPC residents i’ve picked up some items that players online are saying cannot be got from Geo towns.

Well a couple of days ago I did get an Aged Dragon Skull and today I got an Aged Dragon Heart, both from the new level 10 residents, not the free ones, the residents that you have to give a 150K coin to.

I’ve also got a Knave face + and Red Ore+ as well as many fire,earth,wind and ice dragon items +.

I will be posting the findings on my blog as well as in my log at WKC. If anyone running from my town comes across what you would consider to be a rare item from one of the residents i’d appreciate it if you let me know so I can keep a track of what is giving and how often.

I’m also thinking the items given may be quest based since I got the Aged Dragon Heart after running KOD 2 and the Red Ore + after running the Big Red quest (I believe the golems can give red ore+), could just be a coincidence which is why i’m running the 100 quests to get a better picture.

Hi all,
Well I opened up my town today and because of a post on the message board so George could find me I had the most players ever in my room/town, there was 5 at one time which for me is 3 more than my previous ‘most’.

It was good to meet up with George at last (Genmei) and I managed to run one quest with DEATH, good to see your in Earth armor now death, sorry we only managed one quest together.

Also met two more players I hadn’t met before so ran a few quests with Toboe and Yuna, sorry couldn’t be of more help but I try to spread myself around a bit to be fair.

Hope to quest with you all again soon, twas a good day, thankyou.

Well after soloing Big Red 3 a few times I thought I would try some more level 3 quests. Last night I did Home Of The Knave 3 solo and it was reasonably easy although I did have to switch gear during the fight.

Worked out quite well as I got my Longsword combo up and hit him with that, then while he was on his knees I switched over to Spear and Shield to finish him off. Only managed A rank but I often only get A rank when playing with multiplayer anyway as we rarely do the sidequest.

I think I might try the sidequest too, not sure exactly what it is, I think you have to talk to a NPC at some point and kill all magi for S rank.

Still can’t solo Ancient Dragon but hoping to accomplish that when I get the rest of my Knightlord armor.

I’m also not spending much as i’m after that elusive 10 million guilder trophy, only got 1.8 mill at the moment which is why I farm elementals a lot in KOD 3 and I can take out the fire dragon in the hope of a dragon skull+

At the moment my stats are constantly changing for each quest as I chop and change my gear but my Longsword stats for quests like big red are ATK 388 DEF 341 RES 174 STR 210 SPR 112 AGI 156 and DEX 113 This seems ok for big red but I can easily add more STR if needed or up my AGI

When i’m using my spear I switch gear. When running a quest solo if i’m going to use spear only this is my set up: Tsukuyomi + 9 Royal Shield +10 Shadow Sollerets +10 Knightlord Pants +10 Valiant Armor +10 and Warrior Fists +10 Yes I know the Valiant armor is GR 11 but you shouldn’t think because an armor or weapon is a lower GR you shouldn’t use it, the Valiant armor gives me an added 35 VIT DEF 77 and an extra 128 HP

This set up gives me the following stats : ATK 290 DEF 605 STR 149 VIT 243 AGI 112 and DEX 113. If I start to get hit more than I want to then i’ll switch to the Warlords Cuirass giving me an added 44 AGI for a total of 156 AGI this does take away some from DEF but not enough to worry about and it means I get hit a lot less, hardly at all by mobs, if ever.

Well I hope some of this makes sense to you, i’m still experimenting with gear and i’m also trying to get more spears and swords to add elements to, soon I shall be a force to be reckoned with, at least to Kibbles and Vespids anyway, LOL.

Tony 🙂

For those who use my town at WKC i’ve uploaded a new one, took me 3 hrs but it was well worth it.

There are now 18 level 10 residents in 3 categories, Mages, Miners and Warriors. 3 in each category are the ones that cost 150K so make sure after a quest you talk to the residents, they will give some great stuff. I’ll also be posting what resident gives me what when they give good items so I can keep track of how good it really is.

Have fun.

Hi all,
Sorry about the lack of posts yesterday, i’m playing catch up on my blog at the moment, lots of work going on behind the scenes so have been quite busy. In between i’ve managed to get myself back to level 50 on WKC and am starting to experiment with different stats but i’ll tell you more about that in the coming posts, like how I managed to get my defense to 607, wow talk about defense.

Ok will get back to writing either late tonight or tomorrow, didn’t want you all to think i’d run away,lol.

Taking a break for today and playing the game. too hot here to be stuck in front of the PC.

Tony 🙂

Well here we are again with the final 9 GR 12 armor sets:

12. Drakkhen Set

Drakkhen Armor (armor) DEF 74 with added Wind attribute of +5 also resists Paralysis Drakkhen Fists (arm gear) DEF 64 with added Fire attribute of +5 resists Poison Drakkhen Faulds (leg gear) DEF 68 with added Wind attribute of +5 resists Paralysis and the Drakkhen Sabatons (foot gear) DEF 66 with added Wind attribute of +5 and resists Paralysis. Awesome starting DEF and I haven’t managed to get any of this armor yet but I want it just to see what +10 stats are.

13. Sentinel Set

Sentinel Mail (armor) DEF 67 with added Fire attribute of +5 resists Poison/Sleep Sentinel Fists (arm gear) DEF 58 with added Water attribute of +5 resists Poison/Sleep Sentinel Trousers (leg gear) DEF 54 with added Wind attribute of +5 resists Paralysis/Silence and the Sentinel Boots (foot gear) DEF 58 with added Earth attribute of +5 resists Paralysis/Silence.

I don’t have the Sentinel Armor but I have the rest, the Fists are at +9 and the stats are DEF 67 Water attribute +5 MP +16 VIT 26 AGI 21 which will all double when at +10 My Sentinel Trousers are at +9 and those stats are DEF 63 Water attribute +5 HP 70 MP 14 INT 27 and my Sentinel Boots are at +8 and those stats are DEF 66 Earth attribute +5 HP 70 STR 27 DEX 22 again those stats will double at +10 so not a bad set.

14. Valkyrie Set

This set is for the females only and it’s a good set. Valkyrie Mail (armor) DEF 67 with added Fire attribute of +5 resists Silence Valkyrie Guards (arm gear) DEF 58 with Wind attribute added of +5 resists Paralysis Valkyrie Skirt (leg gear) DEF 54 with Water attribute added of +5 resists Paralysis and lastly Valkyrie Leggings (foot gear) DEF 58 with Earth attribute added of +5 resists Poison

Six more sets to go, will continue later today:)

Ok here are the last sets of GR 12 armor and these by far are the most expensive and most difficult to obtain, some armor requires items from specific quests but are worth it in the end.
I will try and give enhanced stats where I can but even I haven’t got all this armor and the armor that I have got isn’t all the way upgraded. I would consider the two best sets in the game are the Gratos set and the Knightlord Set although I am still trying to acquire the full set of Warlord Set which is also awesome.

8. Hellion Set

Hellion Mail (armor) DEF 65 resists Sleep/Silence Hellion Fists (arm gear) DEF 56 resists Sleep/Silence Hellion Trousers (leg gear) DEF 57 resists Poison/Silence and Hellion Boots (foot gear) DEF 57 resists Poison/Silence

9. Shadow Set

This was my favorite set of armor, it just looks really cool and it went with my character, I never did manage to get the Gauntlets though.

Shadow Armor (armor) DEF 74 resists Poison/Silence Shadow Gauntlets (arm gear) DEF 68 resists Paralysis/Sleep Shadow Cuisses (leg gear) DEF 65 resists Sleep/Silence and Shadow Sollerets (foot gear) DEF 66 resists Poison/Paralysis

The stats on the Shadow armor that I do have are as follows:

Shadow Armor+9 = DEF 83 HP 96 MP+9 INT 26 don’t forget these stats will double at +10 Shadow Cuissess+10 = DEF 75 HP 152 MP 12 SPR 52 Nice chunk of extra HP there. Shadow Sollerets +10 DEF 76 HP 152 STR 54 DEX 44 Now that is some really nice stats for just one piece of armor, a really cool set if you can max it all out.

10. Hero’s Set

Hero’s Plate (armor) DEF 62 with water attribute added +3 resists Sleep Hero’s Gauntlets (arm gear) DEF 53 with wind attribute added of +3 resists Silence Hero’s Breeches (leg gear) DEF 53 with water attribute added of +3 resists Poison and Hero’s Boots (foot gear) DEF 54 with Fire attribute added of +3 resists Paralysis. I don’t have any of this set so can’t say what the end stats will be like but it looks like a good set from the starting stats, probably going to be fairly even all round at +10

11. Warlock Set

Warlock Raiment (armor) DEF 42 RES 20 resists Silence Warlock Gloves (arm gear) DEF 39 RES 18 resists Sleep/Silence Warlock Legging (leg gear) DEF 39 RES 18 resists Paralysis/Silence and Warlock Boots (foot gear) DEF 39 RES 18 resists Poison/Paralysis. This set is extremely good on the starting stats alone. I might just go for maxing this set to find out what the +10 stats will be, i’ve got a feeling this will be a very good set to have in your inventory, I do have the whole set but haven’t upgraded any of it yet but will post the results when I get it to +10

I have another 9 more GR 12 sets to list so i’ll put those in another post or this one will be too long so keep an eye out for those later today, the best is yet to come.

Tony 🙂

For those who read my blog regularly if your interested I am just now about to rebirth again, it’s almost a continuation of the last post.

I’m interested in getting the max use from spear and in order to do that I need to rebirth again as this last time I went and filled the Elemental skill tree thinking I could make use of that but I was wrong, it’s got some great spells but it’s really for mages I believe and I can’t specialize in spear if I have all those Elemental spells.

The reason i’m posting this info is if there are any of you about to rebirth or thinking of going with spear or maybe you just want to tag along i’m going to open my room up for the next couple of days.

Doesn’t matter what Guild Rank you are if you want to run some quests or just need help or maybe give me some advice on the spear your all welcome.

Be forewarned that you may see me act out of character or perform what you may think is a stupid move, it will be just because i’m getting used to the spear. Ok i’m off to rebirth again now (for the 7th time), hope to quest with some of you soon.

Tony 🙂

Well here I am again, after my rebirth i’m back at level 50, about a day and a half it took, not bad really. Anyway I haven’t been able to get the hang of the spear, it’s really good for some attacks and really crap for others.

Much wasn’t making any sense as I reset my enhancements on the spear and added +5 water, went to try it out on fire beast and it was worse, couldn’t understand it, so I messed around with some stats and it turns out that by upping the VIT it improved the ice and water attacks by a lot, actually improved a lot of attacks overall, just by getting the VIT up.

This is obviously going to take me a while to work out, i’m going to spend several hours trying out different things, this is not like the longsword at all, it’s more complex probably due to the amount of different attacks that rely on different things, will write more on this as and when I know more.

I did give some bad advice in an earlier post when mentioning if armor was used with an added Fire element you would be more resistant to Fire attacks, this is correct but at the time I was referring to the Big Red quest and adding Fire to armor does nothing for you in that particular quests, Big Red doesn’t use fire attacks, even though he is a fire giant he only uses physical attacks.

Fire enhanced armor will still make you more resistant to fire attacks but the only monsters that use fire attacks are fire dragons and pryodemus, not fire giants, just wanted to correct that earlier mistake, sorry.

Tony 🙂
