Pardon if this is not exactly on topic.

Ok, I was away for more than a year and it seems quite a bit shenanigans have been done regarding non rlc assisted resource acquisition.
Anyone willing to save me the reading backlog and bring me up to speed?

    I'll play nice just this once.

    We recently got the New Horizons expansion. You can read the various recent threads or PW's Newspost for details on that.

    Morai: A new area that you can enter at 95+. You can join an Order and do dailies for them to learn specific Morai skills (each offering a set of skills, and you are able to join and leave once you got what you need). Additionally, some Morai skills are found within a Morai instance called Advanced Endless Universe (AEU). These are often sold by players and occasionally sold in the Bidding Hall

    Nation War: Only occurs every Friday/Sunday. PVP Instance with 3 different battlefields and objectives depending on the lands you attack. You're sent to one of 4 different nations, and each land captured for your side gives your Nation points. Whoever has the most points after 2 hours gets the most tokens (exchangable for Uncannies, Raptures, R8r mats, ect)

    Warsong and Lunar: Revamped somewhat and now Bosses drop molds, basic badges, and essences to upgrade G15 NV (Nirvana) into G16, as well as R9.2 into R9.3.

    Seat of Torment/Abaddon: Changed, and you can squad with up to 10 players for them

    Venomancer pets can evolve, and there's a daily instance to run for that

    Barbs and Venomancers have a new transformation

    Jolly Old Jones: Gives coin and daily quests for additional coin to those below level 80.

    Title Quests and Meridians can help raise your stats a bit.

    There's probably more to be said, but I think I've said enough.

    To make a long story short.......

    A lot happens in a year with very little way to abridge it. Your best bet is to look for information on the last three content expansions and try to work your way through things from there.

    At best, you can tell us the last new thing when you left (or what was getting previewed) and someone may feel kind enough to try and piece together the most important things that have changed or happened since then.

    The last big thing I know of was the morai addon. Prices kept creeping higher, nitwits buying levels in ff and ruining the game for the rest.

    Now I come back, things seem to have not changed for the better. One of the first things I noticed that I saw as a possible hindrance was the dq price nerf. That and preying on tt openings were my only ways of keeping afloat while slowly improving skills and gear, which cs'rs were changing like rags.
    So I was interested as to what else might have been done that may not bode well.

    Euthymius, that is a very good summary of all the major game updates from the start of 2013 until now. I'm being totally serious :3


    About the Jolly Jones thing. You can most easily find him in the untamed starting area, and you can start getting free coins from him once a day starting at lvl 21. Around lvl 51 he gives you 110,000 just from picking up quests everyday. At 71+ its 158,000 and 88,000 for each of his quests you complete.

    Since they fixed it recently. You can only have one character in each level range per account do the dailies. Eg: 71, 61, and 51.

    I talked a lot about it, but its my best and only way to make decent coins anymore f:sweat

    ****

    Nation wars is good when you get to be a high level. Check out the forges by the north arch teleporter to see the stuff you could get with them.


    Also, the game will give you tons and tons of free stuff as you level now. Except for stuff like the geographic map, teleport stones etc. I'd npc most of it to keep yourself sane. I swear they're trying to convince us to get super safe and inventory stones right away X3.


    About all else, have fun!
