Can I play for free?

This content has been removed.

realistically..... no.

if you manage to be an exception to the rule.... maybe.

you start now from scratch you will take quite some time to reach your first 100 then you have to rb after getting some halfway decent gear and saving up some items you will need to rb. then you need to race back to 100 in order to do the instance you will have some ability to make money off of.

you are so far behind if you are just starting that "competitive in pvp" is gonna be like 1-2 years out and im being pretty optimistic about it since you want to do it without spending a dime. other ppl may disagree but all the lowbie money making i basically gone and this guy cant even begin to deal damage until he is rb2. all the new stuff requires dailies which basically is a hard n narrow path to gear/stats.

you can play for free yep. to become good PvE player will take you about 2 years + - of daily 2-3 hours play. in all matter to PvP you will never be able to 1vs1 on any of the hard cash players that will take you down easy. if you will play alot and farm game you can get close to the real strong cash players. so basicly yes you can play for free if u dont plan to be 1 of the top 100 players in game.

You can but it really does take a lot of time to get any where near the top range in this game. For starters, there is a lot of ways to power up in this game and any player that has been playing this game for a while has an big advantage. The fastest way to get these power up is with money. Just to give you an idea: First there are rebirths, once you reach level 100 you can rebirth and this can be done twice. This basically gives you more points to play around with, and the higher you are when you rebirth, the more points you can get. 105 is the max level in this game and some people have done it three times. This is less of an issue then it sounds since you gain xp faster the second time around. Even the first time around leveling is fast since culti give out large amounts of exp until around the 80's, reflection ( exp gaining instance) and the built in bot system (yes this game will grind for you). If you cash shop you level faster using items such as book which can buy with coin from people that do cash shop. Auto pots, known as charms are free in this game until around the mid levels let you grind mobs longer and make you a bit harder to kill.
The second thing to consider is that there is a lot of luck involved in increasing stats, most good gear can be refined up to +12. The chance of hitting each refinement decreases as you go up and if the refinement fails the refinement goes back to zero. Again, you can buy items that increase the odds or prevent the item from going back to zero, but these can get very expensive. Then you also have the meridian system, which also requires luck and time, you can buy holy pills to speed up the process. Add to this War avatars card that you get randomly, which you then need to feed nuema that you get from killing particular instance bosses (you can do this a max of 20 times a week).
Other things that increase stats include star charts, titles, sharding, tomes and re-rolling gears. And this is without going into the gears themselves. If you want any type of rank gear such as R8, you will need to earn or buy reputation. R9 requires extra mats such as MOG, which come from the cash shop. G16 is a litte bit cheaper to acquire. This can all be done without spending real world money...but we are talking 100s of millions in coins and the gold prices are greatly in flavor of cash shoppers. The last time I checked it was 3.9 million coins to 1 gold.
Lastly there is PVP in this game but its not open world PVP. Players can turn off and on pvp modes in the open world and most just leave it off. Most pvp these days hapen in NW and TW which happen on certain days of the week.

Im agree whit most of the players that coment before, want to add some stuff.

I play for free this game, Im not the best in pvp, just an average player, but is totally posible to be a good player whitout cash shop anything.

Now, I add 1 think, is true that to have an end game gear whit all the refinement at max lvl and stuff like that can take you more than 2 years, but there is a new expansion, new gear, we dont really know how many time is going to take to have the g17 gear, but is farmeable, we dont know if the mats are going to be tradeables or not. But ppl says that take 1 year to have the g17r3

You can reach the 2nd rb 100 in 6 or 7 months, so maybe is going to take you less time to have a competitive char.

And there are a lot of high lvl players and factions whit his own bank that are going to be glad to help you, is a good thing that I find in this game, that is going to make you everything a lot easyer xD

I want to add one more thing about the rebirth, is true that you have to reach lvl 100 at least 3 times, but is not that hard, in your firs rebirth your exp rewards is multiplied x4, in your 2nd reborn is x3.5, so rich 100 again becomes very easy, depends how much time you have to play, but you can do it in less than a month whitout any problem.

This was a good idea as it brings life back to the old BHs. When we get 3rd Ill be in no rush to Lv again. I missed the old BHs and different maps. Still a shame we could Solo them... But... Well lets wait and see.

At this point their is still no real pressure to spend money on the game which is a good point. Enjoy the game to this point learn the class other classes and skills then worry about gear. To be fair as well Lv 102 is not that hard from 103 to 105 is the hard part again this comes down to TIME rather than money...​​

The fact that new weapon comes out might be in his advantage, he can skip making the r9 weapon and that would save him over a bil.

But he going to have to hurry if he wants to be ready to farm it from day 1 from new instance.
At least you only need Lv90 for the house system from what've heard.
