The Guildmasters

Had some fun tonight, BO popped in and caught me in my town and while we was waiting for Death to finish a solo quest Henrietta popped in too so we ran belly of the beast quest, pretty cool.

After BO left another person came in and we ran Monumental treasure and the Windwalker quest, S rank and some decent amount of items got, shame we didn’t have longer as I was starting to enjoy it even though I didn’t need any of the items myself it was just good fun running with some friends who I hadn’t caught up with in a while, thanks guys/girls.

Yes it’s been pretty cool since turning Guild Rank 13, much better items in the general store now thanks to having more room in my town and getting better stats.

I’m going for all of the Shadow armor set which has been difficult up to now but with the opening of another 4 quests two of which actually give drops needed for some of the armor. Still need some rare items to create a better sword but until then i’m stuck with the Devilbringer sword which has been good but it’s a bit worn now if you know what I mean, everyone else at GR13 is going around with Demon blade or Witchblade.

It’s the Witchblade i’m eventually after as it happens to be the best Katana in the game with a starting attack of 182 which is pretty awesome, enhance that baby 10 times and you’ve really got yourself a weapon.

Before I get to the Witchblade i’ve got to get other swords first to combine them to make better swords and eventually get to the Witchblade.

I can’t believe how this game has completely taken over from all other games that I should be playing, I really haven’t touched another game since starting white knight chronicles, it’s so addictive in a good way. Happy questing:)

After reaching the infamous Guild Rank 12 I decided to rebirth for the 5th time in this game. This was so that I could maximize the skill tree. I decided to max out the longsword skill as usual and the divine magic skill. With the rest of my points i’ve spread them out at 32% equally between most of the other skills so as to get maximum health and mp.

I’m now back at level 49 with the hope to hit level 50 tomorrow so I can get back into my valiant armor which hopefully should put my health up to around 1,000HP and give me around 400MP

The only regret I had rebirthing this time was as soon as I did rebirth they put a couple more new quests in so I can’t wait to have a go at those once I get back to level 50.

I’m also going to attempt to reach Guild Rank 13 sometime next week so I can upgrade my Geo town as I really need some more trades there to get the gear I need to upgrade even more, i’ve still been looking a bit like a novice even against guild rank 12 players simply because I didn’t have my skills leveled out evenly and lack of knowledge of the elemental side of things but that’s about to change.

Still willing to help anyone that needs it and i’m also taking advice when others offer it and it’s still a great game. I just hope I can hit Guild Rank 15 before WKC 2 comes out. Happy questing:)

What a cool feeling, making Guild Rank 12. Sorry I didn’t post this two days ago when I actually made it but once again i’ve been caught up in this game.

It’s been interesting playing online these last couple of days, had a lot of help from a fellow player and I wish I could remember her name because now my attacks are much more powerful because I have now started to find out which creatures are weak against which elements and have started to enhance different weapons accordingly.

So if you think your seeing things when during a battle in WKC someone seems to change their weapon it is for real. There are several quests in which there are up to 4 or even 5 boss battles, some will be weak against water and others will be weak against fire. Because you can only enhance one weapon with one element it sometimes requires you to switch weapons.

Guild Rank 13 happens to be about 10 million more away from when you hit GR12 so it’s not too bad as GR12 opens up a bunch more new quests some of which give you over 60,000 GR points. I’ve just been questing for items to upgrade and i’ve already hit two million since GR12. Hopefully i’ll be at GR13 by the time my birthday gets here on Monday.

Another huge shock for me was when loading up the game last night I noticed my save game was showing 750 hours play time, that’s unreal. It actually means i’ve spent more time on this game than I did on Morrowind and Oblivion put together and i’ve still got another three guild rank levels. That is awesome playability.

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.

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 🙂

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…
