Dragon Nest Social Thread

[TheTempest]

I'm having way to much fun with the Gangnam Style dance.

Also, just started training today and got to lvl 42 and close to 30%. Still haven't decided what to be on my Paladin. At least it doesn't matter what I pick because I'll be happy with either choice.

EDIT: I also finally enhanced my Manticore Armor to 6 or higher. How should I craft my gear? I was going to craft for Life Giving before the change, but I heard that it's not as good anymore.

[Alilatias]

Don't bother with life-giving, you'd need insane amounts of max HP for it to really be useful now, not to mention that the general idea of the level 50 nests is to not get hit in the first place. Most people now go for whichever craft gives you more of the stat you want now. Intellect for magic damage, Windswept for agility...

Even phys damage classes that rely on the Strength stat (such as Gladiators, Mercenaries, and Guardians) would probably go for Windswept, to help boost their crit rate and crit resist (plus agility does contribute a little bit of phys damage too). The Brutal craft ability sucks compared to what Intellect and Windswept can do.

Capped about 30 mins ago. Turned in every gift mat I got over the course of 40-50 and got 13400 points to royal court for a total of 13500. Got no Quality Diamond Sparks unfortunately. Now to figure out the new nests and have fun with them tomorrow.

So I need a way to upgrade my gear but I'll probably do it later since prices has been increasing due to cap.
Right now, all I am a Inquisitor with Lv 40 +6 and with the health effect for more HP. My weapon is the Lv 40 wand +12 with the INT effect and the Lv 40 shield +10.
I only have a budget of 8k; what can I do to upgrade my gear?

Also, DN lags like crazy at the moment. @_@

I hate this weekend lag, too. I gave up training for now and will log back on for the reset and at night to do some more training. Was the cause of this lag the East and West server merge?

[JPTheMonkey]

Pretty much, yes. There was no lag at all, 99% of the time before the first server merges, then there began to be lag. That lag was compounded with the full server merge as well as this massive update. Everyone is coming back to play and peak hours are a nightmare for anything productive to be done.

Missed the free skill reset

You didn't miss anything.

It was the 24 hour scroll and it doesn't even work right I've heard.

[Alilatias]

If you took a third specialization and learned any of the new skills from it, the scrolls wouldn't have worked anyway. This applies to all reset scrolls. They're all bugged. You get a free one from the Level 50 reward box, but again, that one also won't work if you learned any 3rd specialization skills.

(You can take a third specialization and not learn any of the new skills, and the scroll will work. That's what I just did for my Saint so that I could continue the main quest without screwing over my build, although it was a pain getting from level 45 -> 50 without test driving the new skills.)

[Abrasive]

I'm only 36 but my friend told me i'l get one at 40 so i'm alright right it now =P

I believe they replaced the Reset Scroll at 40 with +10 Manticore Weapons.

Don't know if you get the Reset Scroll at 40 anymore.



Side Note: Managed to make my Corrupted Sword and Gauntlet.

Need to make the last 3 pieces of ArchBishop Set.

Isn't corrupted titan nest? Or are you doing 2 + 5 pieces from both sets

Also I think I missed this in the lore, but what/who exactly are the dromaji?

I'm going 2/5 but I might make a 3rd Corrupted Piece for FD.


Dromaji are the people with the cat ears who live in Lotus Marsh.

I know about that, but I feel like they were just thrown into the storyline without ever saying who they were exactly or why they became like that or why they're hated so much. The same for vesklud now because it seems like he's a hated bad guy again and I thought at the end of 40 cap he was found to have ulterior good motives.

I haven't really played though since February so my memory might be fuzzy or they changed the story slightly.

As for gears, 2C + 5T vs 3C + 4T were the two best possible combinations I found. You're essentially comparing a boost of 210 damage vs a boost of 300 extra FD (I phrase it this way because you can't compare it as flat 210 dmg and flat 300 FD from 0) and I believe in the end the 3C + 4T combination is always better.

[DarkQThunder]

Actually, for gear the best combination is 5 corrupt + 2 ladder weapons (this gives you the crit from the corrupt and more FD than 3/4 corrupt+totem) or 3 corrupt, 2 totem, 2 ladder weapons if you prefer the HP over crit, although most would likely consider the HP negligible since you have level 50 gear. The only exceptions are pure support saints (and possibly physicians?) who should go 2 corrupt + 5 totem because FD doesn't affect heals and pure tank build paladin which might prefer legendary SDN gear for higher HP (unsure about how the extra HP compares to lower defense though).

Yea forgot about PvP but iirc isn't getting those really really really really time consuming?

Story gets a bit complicated later on. I agree that the Dromaji stuff seems to be kinda out of nowhere, but you'll find out what Velskud's been up to towards the end of the 50 cap main questline.

Not really. Just do 10 1 VS 1 ladder matches a week, you'll get like 600-800 points to spend in the ladder shop after the weekly reset. Of course the points stack. You can also do 3 VS 3 for an additional 700-1k points per week, but it's harder to come up with a team and fight (there needs to be 3 teams waiting at minimum for ladder matches to start).

[Kaasoljoyyx]

Ran out of quests at 47.5, not sure if i'll get anymore main questline at 48 but I'm sure some more side quests will pop up. Games a lot easier to level up now than 8 months ago.

Still not sure if I really want to do PvP gear. I think it'll just be easier to go for 3C + 4T. Otherwise I'll need 2L + 3C + 2T. I don't like PvP that much and I'll prolly win about 5% of the time.

[TheTempest]

Can't get my 3rd specialization because I can't get to round 10, only got to round 6 then I run out of time.

Thing about Lotus Marsh is that not all the dungeons and quests for 50 cap are even released in our version yet. I've heard that there's like 5 more dungeons continuing the main storyline, also giving essences for Suffix II and III for level 50 equips.

But yeah, it's way, WAY easier to level up now compared to when 40 cap was just released in our version. Even at Level 49, I've found that I only needed to run dungeons like 6 times (after factoring daily quests in) to reach 50. Going from 39 -> 40 during early 40 cap would have taken like 12+ dungeon runs.

Can't get my 3rd specialization because I can't get to round 10, only got to round 6 then I run out of time.

Oh yeah, Furious Mezz solo is a total [censored] as a Pally. You will pretty much have to party up with someone. If I catch you online tomorrow (either on my Saint or my Elementalist), I'll try to help you out.

Now's the time to make new characters, if you had been considering the idea of making alts for a while. Those reward boxes aren't just for Level 40-50 people, they replaced the reward system at all level ranges. Basically similar to cDN's system, although judging from the event description, this isn't permanent (although it should be, seeing as, you know, the previous rewards aren't available anymore).

Notable rewards from the earlier levels include:
- Bunny ears and tails at Lv. 5 (not sure if perma)
- The inventory and storage slot rewards being moved to Lv. 10
- Free enhanced +8-10 equip sets at Level 16, 24, and 32
- 92% discount coupons for 30 slot inventory and storage (reducing their price to 1.1k or something)
- Free enhanced +10 Manticore weapons (all primary and offhands for your basic class) at Lv. 40.

However, you won't recieve a Scroll of Unlearning at Lv. 40 anymore. That was moved to Lv. 50, and we all know how it glitches when you learn any 3rd specialization skills beforehand.
