    Can't wait for the lvl 95 noobs. good idea PWI


    What are you even complaining about? If you're new to PvP, you now have dummies to practice onb:pleased

    All jokes aside though, why care about them being noobs anyway, we've all been there, and I'm pretty sure this crystal is just a compensation for the FC being removed from the game, take it or leave it, atleast now none of you can still complain that PWIs all about the money and ''doesn't care about their fans''..Besides, if you're skilled enough yourself, you could just run enough PVs and ding 100 within no time, without the help of others. Pretty sure they intentionally made this crystal ding you to 95, wouldn't you think? Use your brains before posting a complaint next time, please.

    Yes! The item cannot be used past level 95 thank you I got that.

    So this stone levels you up to 95. So it knows to stop giving you experience right a level 95? Or does it have 95 levels worth of experience in it but it is level restricted to level 95 and below?
    This is what I am asking and yes I read sparkles faq on the first post. Where do you people see the answer to this question?

    A question I haven't seen pop up yet:

    Does that mean you will miss out on the levelup rewards?

    I don't give too many damns about the orbs and the gems (although they surely do help), but the teleport map is the single most useful thing out of the below 95 rewards.

    When I logged in this toon after a few months of inactivity, it was some short time after that got implemented, and as he was 101 at the time, I only got the lvl 95 reward and the 100 reward. It really sucked since the map is in the cash shop, so everyone who started out got the item for free, while older high level chars got screwed out of it.

    So, unless this has changed, I advise everyone to level to level 20 and claim the teleport map before using the stone.

    I was a little upset when I decided to level up my barb and didn't get the map while all new toons had it. But actually it may be different in this case, 'cause the toons will level up after. I mean, if this has been correctly coded, it will validate all the steps (and then the only problem will be the limitation to 20 quests and not huge inventory :p).
    But your question is good.

    If pigs could fly, you mean? This is PWI we are talking about b:laugh


    EDIT: now that I think of it, why should that even be in a quest? Quests should be, well, quests.

    Nowadays whenever there's a new game mechanic being implemented, they just make it a quest. Hell, even teleporting is done with quests, except for the teleport masters/teleport stones and even then I am not sure.

    In most games, having a full quest list means you cannot take new quests and that's it.

    In PWI, you cannot do a lot of things because of a full quest list, and now and then it screws something up (things just failing with the "Quest list full" message).

    Quests should only be what quests are supposed to be: tasks given by NPCs. Teleporting shouldn't be a quest. Getting a buff from a potion (like the antistealth pots) shouldn't be a quest. Grabbing a chest reward shouldn't be a quest.

    But that's like my opinion, man.

    I checked PWDatabase. Turns out those quests have a level cap on how late you can take them (60) and after that each step is only available for five levels til it poofs when you get to the next reward.

    So yeah. Level to whatever chest rewards you don't wanna miss first, THEN use the stone. Otherwise you'll miss out big time.

    Sad thing is, at first I thought the new devs had just forgotten how to use the quest inventory but checking various quests from their time on other characters... quest inventory IS still used for stuff. They just decided not to use it for all of our quest items like people with common sense would because.... REASONS.


    On a side note: Illusion Stone is a quest, regular teleport masters are not. Also Illusion stone can only teleport you to publicly accessible maps, which is why you get warped to the entrance of TTs/FBs/etc instead of going directly into the instance.

    Oh my.......this should be edited into the 1st page info of this topic. Its pretty relevant information that has to do with the stone.

    Good point. I'll sneak that in later if it's not already added in by then.

    I figured as much. One thing doesn't seem right, though: most level-capped quests are given a second (and eventually third) chance to be taken as you RB. I remember a bunch of lowlevel quests popping up that I skipped the first time around. The chest rewards don't come back, though.

    This is also the reason you get damage (and can die if you are low-level and squishy) when porting to Hall of Deception (BH29). You can also occasionally see a glimpse of the dungeon's portal before getting thrown in.

    Replies in orange. I have finally chosen my own forum post colour, hopefully not too annoying. I would like to add that I love the game but I hate that there are so many things that players just have to "deal with" but that totally ruin the immersion.

    Also, you get 12 special RoR shards at level 30. Kinda worth it as well IMO. Maybe someone could edit a TL;DR list of all good rewards so people could make an informed decision when to use the stone?

    sparkiesoft. What is the exact time when Illusionary stones are mailed when one character logs in? Right after when server time hits 12.17 00:00 ?

    And by exact I mean could it be announced in correct timezone so I can calculate what it will be for my timezone.

    Yeah I was wondering about this as well. Because that means those who are on East Coast servers will get it before maintenance, unless we have an early maintenance before their reset time. I kept checking the news feed on the stone but it doesn't specify which time zone it's going by. This mainly concerns me because I play on East and West servers and I'd hate to do check ins for East like normal and give the stone to the wrong character because it came in for that particular server's reset XD. But I guess my theory was to just not do check ins until after the expansion. That way at least I won't make an accident and give to the wrong character lol.

    The simple solution for everyone is, and I do know it will come as a complete shock, but here goes:
    Don't friggin' sign into the game and check stuff out so you don't **** anything over.
    Totally unexpected, I know, but it finally came to me after meditating on the solution, then running everything through complex algorithms, to ensure maximum potential of said solution.
    The results were amazing, if you don't log into the game before the expansion goes live you are 100% guaranteed you won't **** the receiving of the stone at all.
    Seriously, guys, just log into a different game for a couple of hours and don't risk ruining ****, especially since you have been informed, since you read it on the forums, that there is no exact estimated time for the stone promotion.
    Use your common sense (it is an extremely rare trait, but give it a squeeze).

    in the past with PWI and their various other titles, the stone won't actually be added to the game till after maintenance. I might be wrong, I have been away for over a year, however most new items such as this require some form of patch to be activated for both server, and client.

    here is a twist guys.. we need items for that appropriate level in order to survive in the game. no ones going to hand out free items for level 95 players so I hope this boost would be like -Popsicle- and gives us the items we need to play the game at that level other wise it wont be worth 60 bucks.

    Edit: the word -Popsicle- is doted out for no reason... that's why I cant put them together.

    its not an advertisement the 2 boosts are pretty much the same. I can only hope we get free gear for the level if we ever want to enjoy level 95...

    From the screenshot of it getting used on PWCN it's just EXP and spirit getting bumped up. No gear, no cultivation, no skills, no coin. Just the level and accompanying spirit.
