The Guildmasters

Hi all,
Well i’ve been pretty busy the last few days online and offline. Lost computer for a day but that’s back online now.

Managed to grind quite a bit of Big Red, now have 8.5 million towards my 10 mill trophy. Hopefully I will have chance to get on the game again today and tomorrow and finish that off.

The bind trophy shouldn’t be as bad as I expected as most of the stuff I need to bind is low level stuff so if any of you see this GR 15 running kibble quests and such you know why. I need some massive molars and troll king crowns so lots to get from the lower quests which is cool.

So what’s happened to Death and George??? Haven’t heard from you guys in a few days, still grinding? leveling? I did notice you Death in my room one day and was going to join you, went to check the message board and when I came back you were gone:(

I’m still on from 10pm till midnight my time and usually throughout the day at different times so hopefully will catch up with you guys soon.

There seem to be a few GR 11 players who seem to think that GR 15’s are invincible, had one player the other day start big red, just me and him which was ok, but then he ran and started the battle before I even had half my AC up, we eventually did the quest but then at the end he says to me “GR 15? you suck” I’m guessing that’s because he spent the first half the battle healing himself.

GR 15’s don’t mind helping but you have to help them help you, give both a chance by building AC, sometimes it’s better to wait an extra minute for a third person, the quicker you beat a boss the better/ more items you get in the reward screen, that’s why I don’t bother soloing big red so much because it takes about 5 minutes longer and I end up with hardly anything in the reward screen.

Having said that there are some pretty awesome GR 11’s coming in now, don’t mind chipping in with a heal or haste, pretty cool when everyone helps.

Well that’s what i’ve been up to, anyone else done anything interesting. Oh yes and I did spend a couple of hours helping some lower GR’s with some quests and made some new friends (i think). It’s pretty cool to see how bad things were at GR 4, I had forgotten and I was pleased to get a chance to help one or two out.

Yes I haven’t been giving my blog the attention it deserves. This game is so addictive. I’m almost at Guild Rank 12 and I say almost because i’ve still got 3 million GR points to get, this sounds like a huge amount but it can be done in a day because i’m getting many more GR points per quest now.

The playability of this game is ridiculous, really. I’ve had this game well over 3 months and it just doesn’t get boring, you get to the next Guild Rank level and you just can’t wait to get to the one after that.

I love RPG’s as you know, I played Resident Evil 5 until I got burned out on it, i’ve played final fantasy games over and oblivion was a great RPG and although White Knight Chronicles isn’t as good as those games from a storyline point of view this game has been put together in such a way you just can’t leave it alone.

It’s only recently I realized how much work had gone into the making of this game. It’s definitely a MMORPG because without others you would find it quite impossible to complete many of the quests. They’ve also made it so you can’t just go for the best weapons in the game, you have to buy the cheaper weapons in order to bind them with other weapons or materials to make better weapons.

There is always something you need to get a better weapon or a better piece of armor and that one thing your missing is the one thing that is a 1% drop rate, then when you do get it you get loads of them, or you’ll find when you get what you want you’ll need a ton more to upgrade.

So yes even though there are reviews out there stating this game has only 20hrs playtime they are almost definitely referring to the story part. I would say up to this point I must have played well over 300 hrs and i’m only just going to hit Guild Rank 12 tomorrow. Guild Rank 13 is when I can upgrade my town again so that is miles away.

I’ve had a lot of late nights with this game, I certainly haven’t put these kind of hours into any other game i’ve ever played. Last night I got onto the map to start questing and two new quests opened up so the makers are keeping to their word about introducing more quests on a regular basis, this also helps to keep the game fresh, and it just so happens the two quests they put in was giving items I really needed which was cool.

I did enter a quest with a Guild Rank 15 member and I asked her if at Guild Rank 15 was she still having fun.
Her answer to me was “are you kidding? the fun has only just started”.
That’s all I needed to hear, i’m having a lot of fun now, even after 3 months of playing, imagine how much more fun it will be to own everything in the game, best weapons, best armor and i’ll probably get it all just as WKC 2 comes out, that will be awesome.

The only downside with this game is that I have neglected other really good games that I should have been playing and writing about. Having said that games like this only come by once in a while so enjoy them while you can is my motto and i’m really enjoying this one. I just can’t put my finger on what it is that keeps me on it so long, it’s a mixture of how everything is tied in, so well balanced and a great load of decent players who really team up and help each other out. Great stuff.

Yes I believe I can hit Guild Rank 11 sometime tomorrow, with just 1 million Guild Rank points needed for the next rank i’m quite looking forward to it.

I know of at least two quests that will open up to me once I reach GR11 and i’m looking forward to getting hold of some rarer items and some newer weapons and armor.

My invitation still stands for anyone wanting to run specific quests,even though I need certain items I don’t tie myself down to one or two quests, I like to run with newbies as well as the more experienced and i’ll pretty much try any quest out there in the WKC land.

I’ve now upgraded three of my best swords to the max which is going to help out a lot when re-incarnating again, yes I still have to rebirth a fourth time but I won’t be worried about that once I reach the GR11, i’ll probably just run through Boot Camp 2 as I’m now killing kibbles with one hit so i’ll get the max points on that and exp. I’ll probably get back to level 50 in a day now.

Met some well organized players on WKC online over the last couple of weeks and it’s a pleasure to play with an organized team, especially on the harder quests.

Recently i’ve been playing All In The Cards 2, Giant Headache, Station Attendant (which needs an organized group of 4 , still waiting for that very rare item drop the old magic turret),Desperate Defense (again 4 decent players needed), Home of the Knave 2 (I do Home of the Knave 1 on my own if no-one is about), and King of Dragons 2.

If your running a particular quest where you can’t find 4 people and it’s a struggle to complete with 3 just invite me (Assassin) and i’ll join you, if you want to run big red and kill golems let me know, i’m partial to a couple of golems, lol

Basically i’ll help anyone that wants it, i’m not looking for anything too special myself right now, just grinding anywhere (and everywhere) to get that next guild rank, I do need some more Devil Claws which I can only get in Desperate Defense but that is a pretty hard quest so if anyone wants to run that with me, let me know.

Yes i’m still grinding away for Guild Rank 11 but i’m not running Big Red anymore at the moment. I’ve decided to take on the harder quests and it makes a refreshing change, it also enables me to get some rare item drops.

I’m basically running the great headache and desperate defense. I met up with a good team last night on DD and a guy named “Red” was an awesome healer which allowed us to complete this quest with hardly any problem most of the time. I say that because generally you fail quite a lot on this quest because you have to spend the entire quest keeping the little kamakazee captain alive, if he dies that’s an automatic fail.

The other quest i’ve been running a lot is Station Attendant, we don’t get a problem on this one unless you end up with two lower Guild Rank members come in as these monsters can kill you fairly easy if your HP isn’t above 500.

I took some time out to help a few lower guild rank members on all in the cards quests when I couldn’t find anyone running the above mentioned ones.

Most of the time we’ve been getting S ranks which means more GR points and i’ve actually worked it out I would need to run station attendant 100 times to achieve my GR11 as that gives around 32,000 each time and I need about 3 million more points.

It’s easy to assume you would get bored of this but I still enjoy it a lot, I try out different weapons and tactics and because you get different item drops almost every time it’s not totally the same every time you do a quest, it also makes a big difference depending on who your playing with.

You can run the same quest 30 times and S rank it every time but if you get two people come in who haven’t got a clue you can fail really easily, you have to have a system to run these harder quests and you really need to work with each other, it’s no good doing your own thing.

If your new to a quest, an maybe even lower in rank than you should be for taking a quest the higher rank players don’t mind helping out, what you need to do is pay attention to what the higher rank players are doing, a good team always has a system, usually one good healer with a back up healer who can raise fallen players when needed and help the healer if he gets into trouble, i’ve seen some monsters specifically go after the healer, that’s when you have to be ready to help out, if everyone is healed up you can get back to attacking, to be honest you need 4 players running most of the harder quests and when one falls it really makes a difference.

Another thing worth mentioning for newer players is most bosses can be taken down, either to its knees or to a laying down position, this is when it’s at it’s most vulnerable and your attacks do more damage, four legged beasts are taken down by attacking two legs, either the left or right so pay attention to where everyone is attacking, if two are attacking a left leg it’s not going to help much if you attack a right leg, take both left legs out and he goes down to laying position, that’s usually when players open up with a stronger attack or combo, it’s also at this point usually when items can drop.

Dragon quests drop items if you hit the tail which is another good tip because you need these kind of items if you want to upgrade everything if your going for trophies.

Well i’m off again to run some more quests, I did see a GR 15 player last night and the gear looked awesome, I am looking forward to getting there myself and don’t think it will be a waste as i’m sure WKC2 will continue and allow you to keep your players avatar, my guess is WKC2 will go from GR15 up to GR30 or something like that, let’s hope so.

Well here we are two days later and i’m back at level 50, the problem now is do I continue trying to grind for Guild Rank 10 or re-incarnate again?

Both have their advantages and I think i’m going to grind to get my guild rank up to 10 before re-incarnating again. I’ve worked it out it will take around 20hrs if I stick to big red 2 maybe a little less.

According to my save file i’ve played for 275hrs and yes I do have a life besides gaming, that’s been spread over a couple of months so there is tons of playability in this game.

I’ve only achieved 23% of trophies, i’m only at 300k in guilder, my georama is only level 7 so there is tons more to do, oh yeah and I only have about 11 S ranks in my quests so if there is anyone wants to help me clear up all the level 1 quests i’m available most evenings.

My hometown is open to all and I would prefer a change from grinding on just big red alone, it would be nice to try some of the other quests. Station attendant 1 isn’t too bad with 4 players and you get around 30+ thousand in guild rank points, I did it once with 3 others last night for the first time and the score was 32000 for the S rank so quite a bit more than red but it does take a little longer, but you do get some different gear dropped to so it makes up for it and it did only take us 13 minutes.

I’m still trying to enhance my weapons which is difficult enough finding the right items and I haven’t even started to try and understand fully the binding part, I have binded some early items but I think my guild rank has to be at least 10 in order to bind those decent pieces of armor and weapons.

Here is a link to some wiki pages which are going to be really helpful to me, newbies and mid level players, check it out if you want to know about quests, binding, enhancing and so forth, tons of info there:

Well hope to see more of you in my hometown, and if not will see you on the quests, may the grind be bountiful.
