    Let me know when you manage to "farm" enough mog for the ring.

    I'm not going for R9. Third cast nirvana is way enough for me since I don't PvP besides the occasional TW my faction gets and with my many alts, R9 would be stupid anyway. :)


    Also lol at the people saying farming R9 is inefficient. I never said it was efficient. I just said it's possible.

    I know it's a satirical comment, but that's pretty much the way lots of the PWI population thinks now.

    "I can't compete in the cube. Change the chrono quests so that I don't have to do Room 38."

    "I can't compete in TW. Change it so that weak factions can hold land."

    "I can't compete with R9. Change it so that I can have R9 too for less work."

    I want it all for free with no effort. Yay for the new generation.

    GG what are you gonna do once you have your cheap R9? Refine? Gonna complain the refines cost too much and should be lowered?

    Work hard. The difference between an easy accomplishment and a hard one is satisfaction, value, and respect. Lower that and your accomplishment becomes commonplace and nearly worthless.

    Think about it - long time ago a level 90+, or 100+ toon was a HUGE accomplishment. Nowadays that can be done in a weekend. Don't cheapen other peoples or even your own accomplishments.

    If by "possible" you mean nonzero chance.

    If you think you can make a faction and hold enough lands to get the weekly reward and then tell your faction that it's all yours, more power to you. But if you really think that's possible then you might need to relearn the meaning of the word.

    It is entirely possible, just not logical, it's possible for the faction that wins the weekly rewards to give you MoG, it's possible to farm the chips with your friends and all that stuff, it's entirely possible, just doesn't mean it's logical, it's not a likely scenario, much like how it's very possible for Barack Obama to hand me a $10,000,000,000 cheque tomorrow, but is that a likely or logical scenario? nope.

    Ever since nation wars came out... i decided to upgrade my stuff once again. Took me a bit over a month to merchant enough to buy my r9s2 (I bought the whole set in a single weekend at 375k/rap). Then took me another month to stock up on 20 oceans to refine my soon to be r9s3... taking me longer to get the badges then to gather the refine costs. There are people who complain that there is no money to be made... then there are people who is making all the money.
    1. If I kill you; do something about it yourself, don't go complaining to my wife.
    2. If you have less kill counts then me, don't expect me to take pk advice from you.
    3. If you are hiding behind an alt, don't expect me to acknowledge your existence.

    I know for sure that there is money to be made, I personally am not going R9 anymore after long and careful consideration, I'm staying at G16 and am just going to +10 and garnet gem it all, I am also a merchant, I make quite a bit of money from that, I don't cash shop either, but yeh I just keep my shop up 24/7 and it rakes in quite a bit b:victory

    If your shop raked in quite a bit, and you were such a good merchant you would realize this game is rank 9 or GTFO and not waste your coins on anything but r9 and its recasts.

    Coming from someone on a PvP server, I'd expect that response, but on Archosaur server, it's not quite like that, a lot of people have decided to go G16 and it suffices very well, heck I did really well in NW last night and I was on the 3rd nation, I got more than most in my nation and I survived against R9's, it's not all about the gearing, if you don't know your class well against someone who does, you're screwed. But yeah, PvP servers are more so R9 or GTFO than PvE b:victory

    **EDIT** to make a correction to your forum title, practically my best in-game friend is an HA veno and they're pro as heck, they dominate almost every 1v1 they have (equal and when the opponent is a bit better gearing)

    Well my forum title is no longer 100% accurate as since NW hit I have been able to get 3rd cast rank9. The only heavy armor i wear is helm/cape 2nd cast nirvana now so while it isn't untrue it isn't accurate either.

    3rd cast r9 casters were killing me far too easy to stay heavy anymore.

    Any idiot can survive against an r9... just pop domain/expel/apoc and you just survived an r9. Not too hard... and not worth a damn. And it IS all about the gears. You can have all the skills you want, but that be jack when you are hitting 2 digits on some 5 digit hp pool.

    PS. Last nation war... I am pretty sure some tt80 weapon archer survived my 2nd cast. He ran away at just the right time and I was too preoccupied to chase him. We should all give him a pat on the back... its a freaking tt80 surviving a 2nd cast r9.

    I was meaning it was just me and the r9 against each other, and I didn't use my genie at all apart from using holy path for kiting, and it isn't all about gears, if you don't know what the heck to do as an rrr9 and you're just running around doing useless ****, you're going to get killed.

    She never said it was quick or a practical way. And what can you expect, R9 is practically the base for PWE's money making from PWI, so they're not exactly going to make it easy to farm it in-game with just coins, of course they're going to make it much easier but expensive to cash shop it.

    There are very few genies out there that can use a primary defense skills following a holy path, but there are offense skills that can easily follow a holy path. If you never used any genie skill other the holy path... you never went offensive with the genie. You also never went genie defense and immune/reduce damage counter attack. So essentially your definition of surviving is running away. In that case... there are plenty of tt geared people that survived r9s of any recast/refine... nothing really special.

    With your current gear, you're a oneshot to r9r3s.

    But he can survive 3rd cast r9s by double holy pathing away...

    on a unrelated note... i survived a whole squad of +12 3rd casts by stealthing away. They are all preoccupied or cheap... i am voting on cheap... to use a det pot.

    I never once mentioned surviving rrr9's only a normal r9 and I never mentioned their refining or shards either so you quit it aswell, of course I'm a 1 shot for most rrr9's (I survive Psy and Wiz and Veno if they aren't +12)

    Really now... we are going to start talking about stock r9s. No one gives a rat's *** about a stock r9. When r9 is mentioned... the guy better be +10 at the very least if not +12 weapon. Anything less is a joke.

    Hm if you die to one soulburn tick, a soul of ret crit, or my dots then yeah you probably need to upgrade your gear before you attempt to be successful in pk as a dd. Cc & debuffs are another matter.

    That's exactly my point, I don't die from 1 soulburn tick, I don't die from a soul of ret crit and I do die from dot's, but that's only +12 dot's lol, as I have said before, I am successful in TW/NW other events, I'm not terribly successful in pk because I'm not that good at it and I don't wish to be since that's not my main focus.

    I've had worse gear than yours for far longer.
    My gear didn't magically grow on trees.

    Also soul of ret has oneshotted better geared clerics so I'm still a little doubtful.
