RED update thoughts and feedback

[Colress]

I must really hand it to this event. I think I may have saved several billions because the first 9 8 atts worked on my Empress claw. I never owned let alone made a claw above 100 attack before and I had this 77 attack for several years now. x.x

[hadriel]

Can I clarify something about the ring? Will I lose the first ring if I accept the quest for the second ring? If I want to transfer the 2nd ring over to another character, while retaining the 1st ring on my new Paladin, does this mean I must make a 2nd Adventurer just for this purpose?

You don't lose the ring when you accept the quest, but you do lose it when you turn in the quest (at 130).
I don't know what happens if you don't have it in your inventory when turning in the quest.

The first ring is a requirement (as in the quest window shows Ring: 0/1 or 1/1 depending on whether or not you have it) for the second quest to be flagged as "completable." You won't lose the ring until you complete the quest. According to the patch notes:

If you lose the reward, have no fear, as you can accept the quest [RED] Lost a Ring, Gained an Enemy, but you must hunt 999 mobs in your level range to receive it once more.

Maybe you can get a second one instead of creating another adventurer?

Lemme explain

level 70 ring is now in inventory
initial quest completed
prerequisites for 130 quest done, 130 quest shows up

i.e.: multiple 70 rings is possible. Only one 130 ring per account.

Sigh... thanks guys.

You can't trade the lvl70 ring anyway, so if you choose to do it, it will be stuck with the new adventurer no matter what (from what I've understood, since I haven't even leveled a single one to 130 yet actually).

[hadriel]

The point is for my new Paladin to have the level 70 ring, since he will benefit well from the crit rate. Someone else can have the level 130 ring e.g. my already-existing XBM, who will benefit even more from the mincritdmg increase.

Be a busy week for me. I'll see how it goes.

Doesn't the event end tonight?

[Mazz]

Has anyone ranked an item up from unique to legendary with a Meister's Cube? Not sure if I should invest in a bunch or just wait for a miracle time and use Red Cubes.

[FoolsLove]

Holy crap, it does end on the 17th. I thought it lasted until the end of month at least... Guess I better get my I/L mage to 130.

I have not ranked up at all with the new cubes

@MountLag; the all-powerful?

[Mazz]

Figures :| talked to a couple people and no one has so far. Guess I'll just wait for a miracle time. I'm interested to see if the Master Craftsman/Meister cubes are affected by miracle time actually...

Incidentally, for people interested in the new cubes, it seems like Master Craftsman Cubes = Miracle Cubes, Meister Cubes = Super Cubes (so, frustratingly hard to rank up from unique > legendary outside of miracle time, but viable to rank up to unique normally), Red Cubes = Enlightening (and possibly Premium? still no confirmation on this though) and Black Cubes = Platinum/Memory.

From anecdotal evidence mostly, I know for sure Red/Black cubes have a MUCH higher rate of giving primary lines on the 2nd/3rd lines from first hand experience though.

edit: a friend used 70 Meister Cubes on a Fafnir Claw and it's still epic... so, waiting for miracle time it is. ._.

[Night]

oh you guys talking about a glitch to get the ring. Well the first day of RED if you relogged with an explorer where the maple tree is at on the maple island and you came back, the quest for the 130 ring showed up.
Thats how I got my ring.

[Takebacker]

If master craftsman = miracle cube they need to drop A LOT more frequently.

took me 60 cubes to get my RA top to epic>unique... not to mention the pot lines are crap most of the time

[Daakun]

So about as expected, then? Earnable cubes are pomegranattier versions of the normal ones? >_>

Yeah, it makes sense though. this is how it always should have been. Cubes should have been earnable, and cash cubes should have been slightly better to justify them costing real money.

I can't believe it took them this many years .
