Dragon Nest Social Thread

Economy is [censored] now, literally nothing these days costs more than 100g besides:

- Specific epic skill crests (most of which can be unbound for free through crude approval stamps, exchange a Goddess Teardrop with Honest Ed to get one)
- Specific level 40 crests (that will require real approval stamps to unbind)
- Two-statted wise/windswept accessories with vitality as the second stat
- Nest set equipment and accessories

Your best bet is to go frag farming in Abyss mode and hope for some Gold Bunnies to drop some good epic skill crests, or use the fragments you get to buy skill pouches. Which pouches yield the most valuable skill crests? It depends on which class you are, as you are restricted to only buying pouches from your own class category (as in, Paladins can only get basic Cleric pouches, Priest pouches, and Paladin pouches).

EDIT: 50 cap confirmed for two days from now, as per Nexon's DN Facebook page.

ABOUT DAMN TIME! SAINTDOM HERE I COME!

EDIT 2: Nexon Korea has lost the rights to host DN. Another company called Actoz will pick up DN KR.

A lot of people trying to figure that out right now. Apparently Nexon KR lost the rights due to some negotiations falling through. Someone then found out that Actoz is actually a subsidiary of Shanda, which owns Eyedentity. So, as someone on the DN forums said, 'giving DN to Actoz is like Shanda paying itself'.

Actoz's contract is supposedly going to last 3 years.

In terms of what may or may not happen to us here in NA, I guess it depends on how linked Nexon KR and Nexon NA are. And that's something I don't think anyone is sure about. We know for sure that nothing can happen to NA until Nexon NA's contract for DN NA expires, although I don't know how long the contract will last myself.

Really hope my gear will be enough to carry me through the 50 cap until I get better stuff.
Still stuck using Cerb Armor. At least my weapons are decent.

BTW, What are these "Twilight Wellspings"?

A relatively new equip that gives bonus stats as well as some resistance to nest boss attacks. You get them every 5 rounds from Furious Mezzanine. They expire after a set period, but epics last 30 days if I'm not mistaken. I haven't logged in in a good while, but I'm pretty sure my epic wellspring had a 30 day duration when I used it. The duration gets better as quality gets better though.

I am looking forward to this update definitely. Will be able to get my Shooting Star rolling some more soon, and I can buy some NX to revive my pet to make it a bit more easy.

Also I'm definitely interested in what the Nexon KR issues will lead to with Nexon NA.

As JP said, they're new expiring equips that go in the 'Source' section of the inventory, obtained from Furious Mezzanine. You don't really equip them, but rather use them from your inventory. Their stat bonuses won't apply while you're in town.

On top of giving additional stats, they also grant a chance for you to be immune to certain attacks from nest bosses. 10% from magic rank, 12% from rare, 15% from epic. Magic rank lasts for 24 hours, rare for 2 days, and epic for 24 days.

Dawn = Manticore
Twilight = Apocalypse
Deluge = Sea Dragon

Also, patch tomorrow. We're getting both Archbishop Nest and Titan (Gigantes) Nest right off the bat!

So with the game up...what the pineapple is up with Ancient Archive Abyss? I did horrible damage there and got killed 3 times by the boss. Stupid boxes, ice beam, and ice charge. Oh and that dumb homing missile...

Don't even try soloing Lotus Marsh abyss dungeons without level 50 gear. Hell, even with level 50 gear, you'd probably still get wrecked.

Lotus Marsh is massive increase in difficulty.

Well, I've stopped for tonight. Made it to level 43. Super Ball + Chemical Warfare absolutely wreck. Both do 30-40k damage and 1hko most regular mobs and almost 1hko named stuff/yellow-named stuff.

My stats at this time:

I revived my pet with some NX I bought after school and got a weapon/off-hand cover (permanent) with the NX I had left over. Tomorrow I'll gun for 45+.

Holy crap.

West Armory.

SO HORRIBLE. T_T

You have a good chance of dying even in Master mode and even with decent gear. My Priest dropped to like 55k HP from his max of 77k HP - mind you, this was with defense buffs and base 56%/71% reduction in phys/magic damage taken. If you're not careful, you're gonna get mobbed with high SA break attacks, some monsters have like 70% defense buff, and DO NOT try to fight the boss at long range!

(I made it to level 45 today. However, I cannot advance to Saint, because Clerics need to do the Furious Mezzanine up to Round 10 as part of their personal story. Except I already did my two runs of Furious Mezz last weekend, and Nexon did not reset weekly dungeons this patch. So now I have to wait until Saturday morning to advance. :/)

I only got to lv 42 but all the highlight of that was Kalahan mentioning that he was kicked out of the Astral Coven because of his "figure". I'll post a screenshot when I do the quests on my Swordsman.

Yeah, the writing in this game is just so amazing. Makes it really easy for you to actually care about the NPCs. I can tell the translators had a hell of a good time.

Blacksmith Morris, holy jesus.

Well, I hit level 45. West Armory wasn't too bad. I lost maybe 25k HP over the course of the dungeon. I am now a Shooting Star and Splash is pretty nice. Will probably continue leveling on Saturday, since I have potential plans for tomorrow.

Also, L>Guild :f4:

You can come join mine. Leave an application for Salvation and I'll try to get to you tomorrow morning. We're Level 25 with 195/200. :D

Alright, will do after school.

Selling these quality onyxes is good money. Sold 3 stacks overnight for 100g each.

Warning: Just hit level 50. Apparently the Reset is bugged. If you learned your level 50 skill before you use it, you can't use the Reset.

Hopefully the Unlearning Scroll tomorrow fixes it. Also, I got to 50 as well and got Gangnam Style dance. :f2:

Having a hell of a time in the guild. Activity is like 300% compared to most of 40 cap. x_x

---

Unlearning scroll being given out for free tomorrow won't fix it either. They're aware of this issue, and they have a workaround for the time being.

If you're level 45+, you will also get a free Class Change Coupon. However... This would change your class to something that you probably didn't plan on becoming in the first place. Best case scenario is that they give us two, so we can change back to our original class.

ArchBishop Nest is pretty fun and easy for the most part. Just everything starting from Brass Punisher hurts like hell.

But Titan Nest? Good god Titan Nest is fun but just damn if you don't end up getting destroyed regularly before the boss.

EDIT: :pineapple: First double post I've ever made. :f4:
