The Guildmasters

Hi all,

Well, I’ve been playing for about a week now and have managed to get myself to guild rank 7 , I’m also at level 43 so not doing too bad.  I did go online for a little while today and I see that there is still quite a few playing this game.  There are also a lot of older players who have been playing since it first came out, yet I still don’t really understand why they are closing the servers, a little unfair to those who really enjoy playing this one online.

Also managed to get another trophy today, which was a surprise, I’m also binding quite a lot of items, weapons and armor as I go along as I know one of the hardest trophies is going to be the 450 item bind trophy. I think I will probably play for a few days online while the servers are still up and get some help with a few quests while the help is there. Want to thank Cloud who ran King of Dragons with me and also Dragons Heat, would have never S ranked those on my own at this level.

That’s about it for now, got The Last of US on my list at Gamefly and I won’t add any more games until that comes out and hopefully, I will get that the day of its release or one or two days later. Hope everyone is enjoying themselves on the games you’re playing, let me know what you’re up to. Happy gaming.

Hi all,
I’ve started some new topics in the forum on Guild Rank armor stats, i’ve already listed all the GR 10 and 11 armors and their final stats and am working on the GR 12+ armors and stats, this will be a handy reference for those who are GR 10 and above and also give you an idea of what armors to go for depending on your final build.

This will also save time binding armors your not sure of so you can see the final stats on each set of armor and go for items for that particular piece of armor whether it be VIT, AGI , STR, INT, DEX or MAG, they are all listed or at least will be all listed by Tuesday.

I had a pretty good night tonight, met up with some GR 10 players and ran some quests for them, managed to get some of the items they needed so they was pleased, ran Grave Matter, Station Attendant, King Of Dragons 2 and a few others, made a nice change alternating between quests.

My own personal items needed now are just 4 magic core+ and about the same amount of Lethal Gallstone+ which again seems impossible to get, more because I can’t seem to find anyone to run the quests with so i’m hoping to meet up with some GR 12+ players soon so I can get my last pieces of equipment.

Hi all,
It looks like I will have to carry on with my experiment for handouts by NPC’s over the weekend as there isn’t enough players online to run quests with at the moment.

Anyway this post is for those of you who need those hard to get dragon items, you know, the ones that only seem to get dropped if you break the dragons tail or back or if your extremely lucky enough to get them in the reward screen at the end of King Of Dragons Quest.

Well if your not quite strong enough to take a dragon out on your own and can’t find anyone to run the quest with you here is what you can do.

First you want to start KOD either 1, 2 or 3 depending on your rank, level and items your after, doesn’t matter if you can’t solo this quest as it’s just for the items you need.

Next you can kill some elementals on your way to the dragon you need, let’s say it’s the Wind dragon, it’s a bit of a hike and you’ll probably need your combo up to break his tail, then what? You don’t get the item drop, or you get only 1 and you need 3, so you go back, quit the quest and try again, wrong, don’t quit the quest.

For those that don’t know if you don’t kill the dragon but break his tail, run away, collect a few items from collect points, build your combo up again, after a few minutes his tail will reset and you can break it again.

This quest is an hour and thirty minutes long, in that time you can pretty much break the dragons tail as many times as you like without restarting the quest. And if you can kill a dragon then near the end of quest time take him out for more bonus item drops.

You can’t do this with the Ancient Dragon as he is the final boss and you can’t run away i’m afraid.

Just a tip to get dragons stuff quicker for those who didn’t know.

Ok i’ve run the first 10 quests for the item drop experiment to find out what gives in my town. I have only included items that I consider unusual or rare that the NPC’s give after a quest, I have not included the many items given that are common or the items from pick up points, just the rare items from NPC’s.

1st Quest: Big Red 3 run with 4 players:
Items given after quest:
Red Ore given by Jerome

2nd Quest: Big Red 3 run with 4 players:
Items given after quest: Rough Saphire given by Xander and one given by Ven Lien Wind-Dragon Flake given by Lucas

3rd Quest: Big Red 3 run with 3 players:
Items given after quest: Fire-Giant Eye given by Dianus and another Rough Saphire from Xander Aged Dragon Heart given by Palt

4th Quest: Big Red 3 run with 3 players:
Items given after quest: Rough Ruby given by Clark and Fire-Giant Heart Bit given by Hector

5th Quest: Big Red 3 run with 3 players:
Items given after quest: Knave Panel given by Colin

6th Quest: Home of the Knave 2 Solo:
Items given after quest: Knave Panel given by Charlelone Wind Dragon Flake given by Lucas and Troll Armor Suit given by Lau Varie

There was a break then and when I came back online I could run round the town and pick up items again and got 1 Knave panel from Colin

7th Quest: Home of the Knave 1 Solo:
Items given after quest: Ice-Dragon Beard given by Beketov and Dew Drop given by Colin

8th Quest: Big Red 2 Solo:
Items given after quest: Ice-Dragon Scale+ given by Taltenos

9th Quest: Big Red 2 Solo:
Items given after quest: Ice-Dragon Scale+ given by Taltenos again

10th Quest: Big Red 2 Solo:
Items given after quest: Red Ore given by Jerome Troll Armor Suit given by Ven Lien and Troll King Mace given by Vincent.

As you can see and as Death pointed out to me the items are definitely not quest related. First 10 quests didn’t give much in the way of + stuff and I think when I was getting lots of + items I was running quests like KOD 3 SA 2 GH 2 and DD 2 so another theory could be the harder the quest you run the better the items given. First ten quests were easy ones so the next 10 I run will be moderate then the 10 after that will be GR12 lvl 50 quests just to see if the items improve by the difficulty of the quest run.

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.

I know I was going to write the rest of the armor sets today and i’m in the middle of getting those together so it will probably be tomorrow now, there are more than I first thought but worth listing and I will do this.

I wanted to write about items that players keep asking about and to be honest there is one particular quest where you can get virtually every item you need that requires farming, I’m talking about ores, flowers, herbs, planks and branches etc…

As long as your at the magical GR 7 or higher you can run King Of Dragons 1 (actually you can run this one at GR 6), if your GR 9 or higher you can run KOD 2 and if your GR 12 or higher KOD 3.

Now I know what your thinking, you can’t possibly solo King of Dragons and your right, but you dont have to kill dragons, you can avoid them fairly easily and just on the first section where the Ice and Fire dragons are there are at least 14 pick up points where you can get stuff.

It’s a pretty good run through if you can take out the elementals, some of you won’t be strong enough yet to take on 3 or 4 elementals but if you can get the ones that are on their own that’s bonus exp and bonus items when they drop, and elemental drops are worth selling if you get enough of them.

There are ore drop points, many flower points, I actually run through this quite often to get me some Cordyceps to make my elixirs but whatever GR you are you will get a lot of what you need here. I am working on a walkthrough for this quest for item drops and their exact locations with grid reference so you can just look at the list and go straight to the pick up points you need if you don’t want to search every crate, flower bed and rock.

My last run through on this quest solo gave me many elemental drops to sell as well as scorpion drops and by the time I get to the fire dragon my combo is built up enough to attack his tail and get a bonus drop, I often let him kill me so I can restart at the save point and go towards the wind and earth dragons to get those pickups as well, it’s a really good quest for getting a lot of stuff that might usually take you forever.

Let me know if you want me to post the walkthrough for item pickups and i’ll probably do that at the weekend.

I was asked recently what is the benefit of playing the White Knight Chronicles New Game+.

There are a lot of benefits by playing new game+ but first let me explain what that is exactly. When you complete the game for the first time you then have the option of starting the new game+, this kind of saves everything you already did in the first game but allows you to start over with a new game but with many extra items.

First of all playing the new game+ opens up new treasure chests, the one that springs to mind is the extra chests in Balandor in the cave. Also there are more items available in the shops and don’t forget to build up your georama because as you upgrade and get higher in Guild Rank you’ll get better and better items, then there is the online play but this is about the new game+

I personally played the new game+ a total of 5 times, it is a fairly quick game and I don’t think I needed to play it so many times but I was getting the feel of how everything works and making the most of item drops etc..

Wiki has a more in depth list of things available to you once you start new game+ and here is the link so you can check it out.

Hope this helps and answers your question.

Well after reaching Guild Rank 10 i’ve decided to re-incarnate again, this will be the second time and for some reason it seems easier to get my levels back, i’m already at level 44 and I only re-incarnated last night.

I don’t know about you but there are so many unanswered questions on this game now and I can’t find answers anywhere, that’s presumably because it’s still relatively new.

I’d like to make the most of my Georama town and even though I was impressed with my layout it’s not right, something is missing because it’s not producing the goods I expected. I have 20 residents now but when I talk to the residents they keep telling me things like “if I had a farmer we would do better”. What doesn’t make sense is that it might be a warrior or a mage that is asking for a farmer or a lumberjack, does this mean you can put different trades in the same houses?

I was under the impression you got better stats and produce if you kept the same trades in the same house, i’ll have to experiment more on this.

Another problem i’m having is knowing where to get certain items, for instance, I know to enhance my longsword for the 9th or 10th time I need a massive hoof, I know which animal drops this and where he is only he never drops this item. I realize that the drop percentage is quite low, sometimes as low as 1% which is ok, but does he drop it on level 1 quests or level 2 quests? or both?

I’ve battled this creature both on level 1 and 2 quests and never got the drop, he always drops a massive tooth or something other than the massive hoof. I don’t mind grinding it out to get an item to upgrade but it would be nice to be able to narrow it down just a little.

I do want to take this time to apologize to the two players that attempted to finish a high end quest even after one player left, I was also a letdown here because I wasn’t ready to take on this quest, I know they was still going for it and I just wanted to say sorry for letting you down in there, I imagine the rewards for completing that quest were quite huge, i’ll hold off in future before taking on those high end quests.

Anyway to get my levels back i’m grinding away at boot camp 2, several reasons for doing this, it’s quick, you have to kill 50 monsters, each time you complete the quest which actually takes around 10 to 15 minutes at level 35 to 50 you get pretty close to 20k experience, that’s pretty quick levelling up, also they drop a decent amount of gilder which you need so badly in this game, also some of the items dropped can be sold for around 30g, doesn’t sound like much, but do this quest about 50 times to get to level 50 and that’s quite a bit, especially if you aren’t too worried about the S rank and go for more than 50 monsters.

It’s also a good idea to make sure you have a weapon equipped that will take them down in one hit, two hits slows the quest down dramatically and makes a big difference at the end.

I’ve also found it an advantage to shake the three trees with wasps in them, 5 come out which makes for a total of 15 easy kills and lots of bonus cash,items and experience.

Well that’s it for now, don’t forget to look out for my town opening up for 4 to 5hrs each night from next week, i’ll be running all types of quests to try and obtain all the S ranks, it’s just going to be a change from the big red for a week, it will also catch us some new items for use in binding etc…
