The Guildmasters

Due to the fact I cannot find anyone running the fire dragon quest I am stuck with my GR11 sword which is making me fairly weak for a GR14.

I’m starting to think I really should have been concentrating more on binding weapons and armor before rushing off to grind for higher guild ranks.

I’ve been running Desperate Defense most of the day trying to upgrade my shadow armor and my bloody armor but it’s a slow process with the rare drops, just one enhancement needs 5 magebeast masks +

The latest friend to be added to my list is a player going by the name of Bo, same age as me so a couple of oldies still playing the game, not sure if WKC is making me feel younger or making more grey but i’m having fun all the same. Definitely tired due to the late nights on this thing, I call it research for my blog, it sounds better.

For the first time in 3 months that i’ve been playing this game I actually met someone who had a problem with me, apparently he was a so called “tank” his own words, and he decided it was my job to keep him healed, I have to admit I did let it get to me and it showed, at the end of the day it is only a game.

I’ve met and played some extremely good players and i’m glad that they were on my side, wouldn’t have liked to fight against them that’s for sure but of all the “tanks” i’ve played with they have all (up until today) healed themselves.

If there isn’t a healer available then we all watch out for ourselves and help when and where we can, I try to do my fair share of raising and healing but at the end of the day i’m not a healer, same as i’m not a tank, I don’t expect players to heal me or raise me it’s just common curtesy when someone does it and you thank them for doing it, it also makes a lot of sense. What doesn’t make sense is when someone comes in claiming to be something they aren’t and then ordering someone else to do a job they haven’t done before, you have to show a little respect no matter how mad at the game you are.

Enough said, i’m still enjoying it a lot and I really hope to get my kingslayer katana soon, then i’ll be ok and more on par for a Guild Rank 14, occasionally I do let people down in the game through irrational thinking or making a wrong decision and I apologize for those times, most understand, a few don’t forgive but that’s life, and it’s too short to stay mad so lets have some more fun.

Welcome aboard Bo and I look forward to playing with you more tomorrow.

Yes I had a pretty good day yesterday, I not only reached Guild Rank 14 but also managed to get my bloody armor set (or at least most of it) apart from the boots and even managed to upgrade some of it.

I also got another trophy, this one was for binding 200 items so have got a way to go yet before I get the 450 bind item trophy. I also need the 10 million guilder trophy which is also very hard because as soon as you get a few hundred thousand you seem to need to spend it on something or other.

Another good bonus was the introduction of 4 more new quests which also gave a new set of armor, which now means in order to get this new set (which is pretty cool) you have to run the new quests a fair few times.

I still keep dropping back to low guild rank quests to help the newer players out and also give incentive by showing the gear and damage you can do once you get higher in rank. Most enjoy the help and are grateful and i’ve made some decent friends and also met some really good players in the higher ranks.

Making Guild Rank 14 I also managed to upgrade my town again (another 600k) but I was disappointed to find out there were no level 9 workers, only level 8 and level 10, not sure why they didn’t put any level 9 workers in the game which kind of makes level 9 town extremely expensive seeing as all it gives you is another section of land big enough for maybe one or two more houses.

Guild Rank 15 looks good with probably more armor options but also a level 10 town means I can get level 10 workers so won’t need so many and will be able to specialize in more fields.

With almost 1000hrs put into the game I can’t believe it is still so playable, what a great game and excellent value for money, the rare drops are a little too rare for my liking but it still makes you want to get them.

Station Attendant 2 is getting a little unpredictable as I was playing yesterday pyro rex dealt me a whopping 1000+ damage, never seen that one before, after that it was like he targeted me throughout and I died about 6 times during that quest and I have to thank the players with me for their patience, always someone would stop and raise me and I appreciate that, felt like a newbie actually but most understand it is random and sometimes this kind of thing happens.

Will update more over the coming days, again if anyone wants help i”m willing to drop by and help out, alternatively you can visit my town and create a room and whenever i’m on I will run a few quests with you, and I don’t mind if your guild rank 1 or 15, i’ll help anyone.

Tony;)

Hi all,
I was helping some GR 1 players today get the hang of the game and I didn’t realize how intimidating it can be at first especially when you first start questing online so i’m posting this for anyone who is just starting out on WKC and hopefully I can answer any questions you may have concerning questing, adding friends and so forth.

A couple of things worth mentioning is when you start taking on quests for the first time online you should not try to solo them, it may well prove too difficult so early on and it may end up losing your interest and this game deserves the play time, it’s a great game and how you start out depends on whether it’s an enjoyable experience or not.

Also when you finish a quest always pop back to a room or your town and repair your armor and weapon as it gets damaged during battle, this may seem logical but I didn’t even realize this until I was at GR 2, no wonder I was dying so much,lol.

Anyway if you have any questions just post them here and i’ll try and answer them within a few hours for you. Thanks to Idra who is GR 1 and stuck with me until the end of the quest and received the benefits of a B rank and accompanying items and GR points, well done.

Tony 🙂

Wow I just can’t seem to get the few items that I need. I know the rare item drops are supposed to be 1% but you would normally expect one every now and then. I’ve played Station Attendant 107 times now and never had the turret drop or the mask+ which kind of tells you the percentage is even lower than 1%

1% generally means you may have to play the quest 100 times to get the drop although most times you wouldn’t have to play that many to get it, 107 times without either of the two drops definitely makes it less than 1% unless your supposed to play it 100 straight which is virtually impossible, not sure why they made the rare drops a little too rare, 5% would have still been hard but at least you could have eventually guaranteed the drop.

Just lately i’ve had players looking at my gear and saying things like “why do you have that sword” or “how come your still wearing GR10 stuff?” well to me it’s pretty obvious that i’m using inferior stuff for a reason, not because I want to but because I still haven’t managed to get the items needed to upgrade.

I’ve also noticed that a lot of players have dropped away from this great game and the only way to guarantee playing quests is to enter a room, I started playing rooms this week and I could always find a quest, even it wasn’t one I needed. Weekends are still popular and I hope more players start getting WKC or it looks like I may just miss the platinum trophy.

Tony 🙂

Yes I indeed made it to GR13, spent from 9pm until 2:30am (about 5hrs) and hit the all important milestone of white knight chronicles. Well it was to me.

I was a little disappointed at first because it cost me 400K to upgrade my geotown and the small square it gave me was only able to hold another two small houses. Disappointment went away after realizing that they gave me two new houses available for purchase which allows you to house 3 residents instead of the usual 2.

I’m seeing many new types of armor now and even though I could get shadow armor before I never could get hold of the right stuff, now I have the shadow trousers and the main part of the shadow armor. I am looking for the whole shadow armor set and the strongest Katana in the game, these are not the most powerful items in the game but together they go with my character name ( assassin ), look cool and are pretty powerful once upgraded.

I now have two towns and this is a pretty cool tip if you didn’t realize it before : I set up my town with warriors, mages and miners, got the stats to 40-40-40 giving you most items possible in the general store, then uploaded this town to geonet.

Then I made another town with chefs, farmers and lumberjacks, got this town to 40-40-40 ish but didn’t upload this town. So now I have two towns, one online and one offline, this covers all six trades and gives you maximum items possible.

This also means you don’t have to visit other towns to get items you don’t have, saving you guilder because you always pay more in someone else’s town, cool eh?

Now i’m going to be concentrating on upgrading weapons and armor so I am more of an equal when supporting other players of the same rank and higher, at the moment for GR13 I am quite weak although I try to make up for this by healing when possible and adding speed and attack boosts to the party of 4

Will keep updating as I play along and work towards that final GR 15 and yes i’m still willing to drop down to lower grade quests to help get S ranks if you need the help so just let me know.

Tony 🙂

After hitting Guild Rank 11 quite a lot opened up to me, 5 or 6 new quests were available to buy and they took all my money as they were 20,000 guilder each quest, wow.

I’m now finding a lot of items that i’d never heard of before and i’m also getting the required items needed for my more powerful weapons and armor upgrades.

There is now a Big Red 3 available which is pretty awesome giving around 45,000 GR points and a whopping 15,000 guilder as well as some decent items and level 10 pearls which now sell for 1,400 so i’m well on the way to more trophies.

I did get another trophy this morning called ‘Item Maniac”, this one was for collecting 600 different items. I’d actually forgotten about trophies as I hadn’t got one in over a week, it was a nice surprise when it popped up. This now puts trophy completion at 42%, yes I know, a long way to go still but i’m not bored yet.

I now have some generals armor(Cuirass), and even the Valiant leg gear (Cuisses),managed to get myself the Greede Steel Bow and a decent shield (Divine)for when I rebirth again for the 4th time and try bow and shortsword skills.

It shouldn’t take so long now to reach GR12 because of the access to harder quests which pay out much more GR points which really makes the grind from 10 to 11 probably the hardest, so far.

Tony 🙂

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.

Tony 🙂

Well today I re-incarnated for the third time. Thanks to some decent help from other WKC players I managed to get the items required to get hold of a nice little shortsword called the Demonsword, there is also a longsword with the same name but I don’t think I can get that for a while yet which is why I decided to rebirth a third time so I can learn the shortsword skill.

A tip for anyone re-birthing or re-incarnating is on level 35 you can quickly achieve level 36 by doing the Boot Camp 1 quest in Balastor Plain, once you hit level 36 you can go onto Boot Camp 2 which will gain you levels fairly quickly, especially if you have upgraded a few decent weapons.

When I first re-birth I use the Castleguard armor which is fine for that level, I use the Grandsword for level 35 which is more than enough but as soon as I hit level 36 I then equip my Ornate Greatsword, i’ve enhanced this weapon to it’s max of 10 so it gives a whopping 115 Attack with an extra 23 HP and +4 STR and VIT -10, losing 10 on VIT isn’t a big deal at this stage as your just trying to get back to level 50 as quicky as possible, this sword has also been enhanced with water element so it’s ideal for Big Red 2 mulitplayer as soon as you hit level 41.

You can get hold of Arcanum Earrings from the shops and that increases your MP by 30 which is handy but you lose 30 HP which again is no big deal at this point.

Level 43 see’s me change into the Earth armor but I change my weapon at level 41 to the Evil’s Bane longsword, this one has been enhanced 8 times which gives an attack of 130 MAG 10 HP +17 STR+2 with VIT -16, this weapon is ideal to get you all the way to level 50 or you an choose to equip the Arondite at level 49 if you have it, this one is my favourite longsword and has an attack of 145 HP +11 and INT+4, this weapon is a little harder to get your hands on.

This time around i’m going to try out my new Demonsword and once i’ve upgraded as much as I can with this weapon i’m going to see how it stands up to my favourite longsword.

The shortswords don’t have the same kind of attack strength as the longsword but i’m betting it may just be a better option as you can hold a shield too because it’s a one handed weapon, i’m hoping that by upgrading both shield and sword it will probably even out but maybe the shortsword will outshine the longsword because you should be quicker, more agile and hopefully have a chance of better combo options, I will update as and when I find out.

I’ve changed my Georama town completely to try and achieve farming more of the rarer items needed for upgrading so instead of having a few residents of each trade i’ve just selected warriors and minors, this has put my stats up a lot compared to when I had something of everything and i’m farming much rarer items compared to my previous town.

Remember if any of you need some help either to get your guild rank up or get some S ranks for quests you haven’t managed to get yet just let me know and i’ll help out where I can.

Tony 🙂

Hi all,
Well i’m still grinding for Guild Rank 11, I managed to hit another trophy last night, 20 S rank quests completed which now gives me 34%.

A couple of things worth mentioning, first if you find yourself getting a bit burned out grinding away at the same old quests you may want to consider re-incarnating, as well as it being one of the trophies (to learn 4 skills) you’ll find that re-incarnating will truly help your attributes.

I’ve noticed a few players have totally learnt the longsword skill or the bow skill but didn’t bother with the healing skills, those skills are probably the most important in this game.

Although when playing with 4 players there is usually a healer it is always good to have the option of being a healer yourself, especially when some quests require you to split up. Another attribute of the healing skill is “raise” which is an excellent skill to have in your bar for when a player falls, and believe me it happens to even some of the best players.

The last few days saw a couple of new quests become available which are much more difficult than the earlier ones. One is “Giant Headache” which i’ve played with some excellent partners and achieved an S rank, as well as getting hold of some rare gold faces which was needed for upgrading.

The other new quest is “Greaver Hunt”, if you thought one greaver was hard this one is a real killer, it only gives you 30 minutes and there are six of them, i’ve only managed to complete it twice with 4 players and both times only managed an A rank, so far this one has been my nightmare quest.

Another tip for those wanting to complete “Dragons Heat” 1 & 2 in the Bunker Lode Caverns, there is a neat little trick for defeating the two dragons at the end, when the boss fight starts up if you all run back to the tunnel only the nearest dragon will follow, allowing you to kill one dragon at a time. I thought this was worth mentioning as I had a go on this one last night and there was only three of us so they decided to opt for only one dragon showing at the final battle, this obviously resulted in a lesser amount of items and guilder as well as guild rank points, I couldn’t tell the other two about the way to kill both dragons as I only have the ability to type via the controller and it takes me forever, at least you know in future even with 3 players both dragons can be killed.

At the moment i’m trying to take on several quests to acquire Knave Panels, Gold Faces, as well as trying to pick up some demon fossils and black iron ore along the way. So the two quests i’m mainly running at the moment is “Home Of The Knave 2” in the Dogma Rift and “Giant Headache 1” in the Flander Trail so if anyone wants to join me i’m always looking.

For those that know me now, if your ok with the way I play next time you see me add me to your friends and we can team up for future quests.

For those that haven’t played me yet I basically follow and fight, nothing special, I don’t usually take the lead unless it’s a quest i’m comfortable with, I usually build my combo up as early as possible but save it until I think it’s needed, usually from the middle of the fight or towards the end, hey i’m an assassin, I like to finish things off,lol

I’ve been the healer a couple of times but usually I only heal others as they need it while i’m fighting, I more often than not use the inspire spell to up everyone’s attack.

You can nearly always tell when i’m going to kick my combo on because i’ll always use inspire before the combo.

I’m not too interested in creating a room but am more than willing to join anyone in their room for questing, depending on the quest. I also don’t mind helping out lower GR players with quests they are finding difficult to either complete or are managing to complete them but without the S rank. Seriously, if you need some help i’m willing to do so.

If your wanting to contact me on the WKC server my players name is Assassin, spelt exactly like that, with a capital A, and if you still can’t find me my online username is Knightofthe9.

Will update some more as the weekend comes to an end, hopefully i’ll hit Guild Rank 11 sometime next week, i’m really looking forward to some of the weapons i’ll be able to get my hands on (hopefully).

Tony 🙂

Ok i’m still playing the old WKC, i’m nowhere near achieving GR11 yet, still about 6million away, and I would like to get to GR13 at least so I can upgrade my town, this will take a while.

A couple of points of interest, just for a change I decided to play out the last area again, which would be my fifth time through the game, I didn’t do the final boss as then i’d have to start it over and i’m not going there again yet, the point is that when I was going through that last area it did give me newer items, i’m guessing it was because my level was at 50 and my GR at 10 but it is worth noting that, it may even be worth trecking through the game again at my level just to see how many decent items I can get hold of, all boss battles will be that much easier.

My town has now started producing black ore which is a result as that stuff is 24,000 to buy but it’s free to find, at least until you need some then you can’t find it anywhere.

A lot of this game now is trial and error, i’ve seen some awesome weapons and armor but don’t have the materials yet to bind them so unless you want to search forever on your own the georama logs can be quite helpful if you post what item your looking for someone usually comes back with where to find it.

Every time I upgrade something like my armor or longsword I go and test it all on the quest “all in the cards”. My way of thinking is if I can do this quest on my own without any problems then i’ll be of more use to mulitplayer, as of yet I can’t do the final boss in that quest solo but i’m not far off it.

Now we’ve heard that WKC 2 is coming out in Japan soon but today while scouring the internet I saw a post that this game was part of a trilogy so if that is true this series could take a front row seat in popularity, i’m seeing new players coming in every day it seems so I picked this game up at just about the right time, if I can get to Guild Rank 15 by the time the second one comes out I should be in a good starting position for the second instalment, assuming our Georama towns will be able to upload to the second edition, hope so.

I’ve re-incarnated twice so far and when I get a bit burnt out questing then i’ll rebirth a third time.

I’m always looking for players to catch some of the other quests other than bigred, I know this quest is quick and gives you the most GR points for the time but it makes a refreshing change when I find players on the other quests, today I played Station Attendant quest a couple of times and it keeps you on your toes, you do need at least two higher graded players I think to do well on this one, certainly at least one good healer who knows what he/she is doing, if you get a good 4 players on this one it rewards well.

If anyone was wondering why I didn’t open my room up Monday as planned it was because I didn’t receive any responses at all so I assumed there are already a ton of rooms open, if I get more than a couple of requests to do so then I will.

After writing this update i’ll be back online for about 4hrs questing all over the place, i’d like to get some S ranks for “Dragons heat” and “Take your lumps” Quests if anyone is interested, i’ve done both level 1 solo but haven’t got an S for either of them.

If anyone wants me to post any specific info then just let me know and i’ll try and help out. Catch you all later, let’s go questing.

Tony 🙂
