    Charm packs are more like geared for high levels while the event is geared for the low levels. This gives low levels a chance to actually get something. In the past, most of the events were geared for mid to high levels thanks to the level 40+ requirement lately meaning low levels couldn't even enjoy the events so stop complaining about the low levels actually having a chance for once....

    why should it be for low levels ???

    15 GA ...
    2*2 oracle III => 30k + 1.x % exp
    3 Oracle II => 15k + 0.5 % exp
    4* 3 Oracle I => 97 k + 156k xp ( 0.5 % xp)

    + Beautiful shards ( 5)
    + scarlet fruit

    the oracle alone gives me more xp and coins than 1 hr grind .. and i do it in less than an hr.
    I look at all the trollers, and Pvpers.. and know they wouldnt have lasted 30sec on Camelot.

    Rules= Know your enemy (players and NPCs) gives you more chances to survive.

    I love this event.

    I used about 35 GA, 39k each. So 1.365 M total. I got 14 beautiful shards. (5 citrine, 5 garnet, 4 sapphire). At the current price of ~100k, this is more than I spent for the GA. Of course, I'm not gonna sell them now, but after the event, when the prices will go back up. I hope to get 200k each (they are made at jewelscraft for 240k each). This would be a really go investment.

    On top of that, I got enought oracle to make a FULL level (my 59-60), 3 exp scroll, 4 scarlet (didn't decide what to do with them yet), 800 mana potions (will remove the need of the MP charm for a LONG time).

    So basicly, this event was a really really good thing for me. It'll take a while for my money to come back, but it will, I'm sure of it.

    On top of that, I realized Lost City was not a server with only idiot players. We actually managed to get a wait-up line for the Oracle 1 boss, with around 20 players in line, WITHOUT any PKing around. ( I got screenshots )

    I LOVE THIS EVENT.

    .....Pros of this quest:

    -Lower lvl (under lvl 80 even) would level faster due to the oracles that will be floating around. Those are even good exp for higher lvls actually.
    -lower lvls will finally get some good accessories for cheap
    - lower lvls lvling = more demand on HH mats, so if you are higher lvl, you can use that
    - Higher lvls get cheap beutiful gems (I know I still need some)
    - Gems would get so cheap, you could MAKE perfect shards for like 3-4m
    -gets people to spend some money and lower gold prices (due to lower demnad). This will balance out the increase in prices due to the charm packs.

    The valentine event was useless to some, but a lot of people got nice stuff out of it, and an EXP item too.

    Wait, is someone complaining that they lost a game of chance? Does it say anywhere "you can NPC this mold for more than 100k? No. You always lose money on events like these, unless you are completely hax lucky and keep getting the rare items which sell for a lot.

    Wow yall complain because they do everything for the high levels. They do something geared towards low levels and yall QQ...

    This aint kill the new servers, yall just fail and dont know how to go grind for a bit. Get your money up and enjoy the event.

    Yall get charm packs back, 75% of the people QQ over it being back. But 90% of the population QQs when there taken out.

    They do pretty cool event where if yall look, one those molds you get you can only obtain from a mob. Hey thats pretty rare you ask me, pretty cool you gonna see the weapon on the server now, low level or not. Beautiful shards, sure takes what 400K +-, correct me if Im wrong dont know manu. price off top my head. Now the price is 150-200K if not lower if not a bit higher. PERFECT SHARDS 20m+ to make... Sells for 10m lol...

    New servers, not alot of people cash shop, they now get chance to get some training scrolls. Cool. Oracles, ah shutup, half these people getting buncha oracles doing them to get quick level, hey guess what genious... YOU CAN DO IT TO...

    Stop QQing when it takes 1 hr @ level 30 to make 100K... 100K = 3 GAs maybe 4. Its like the golden egg(i think it is), you have chance to get a 1 - 3 star dragon orb or a mirage stone. I dont see yall QQing bout that cause someone got a 3* dragon orb outta a 1g item.

    Yall QQ to much... =/

    They day you'll understand that fairness toward people who grind instead of pay is not included in the game, you'll have understood it all.

    The kind of fairness you talk about belong to pay-to-play games.

    On Heaven's Tear, I spent almost 3 million on Guardian Angels yesterday. The price was 39k or 40k per Angel. I've never put money in the cash shop, and I did not buy any Charm Packs (I don't use Charms).

    I received the following from Jolly Old Jones:

    - 7 Beautiful Citrine Shards
    - 7 Beautiful Garnet Shards
    - 3 or more Beautiful Sapphire Shards (I forgot the exact number, but at least 3)
    - 1 Mold: Crazed Lupine Ring (Might ring)
    - 1 Mold: Ring of Blazing Fury (Magic ring)
    - 1000 Multiflavor Jiaozi (2000 HP in 10 seconds)
    - 33 Oracle I
    - 18 Oracle II
    - 6, 9, or 12 Oracle III (I forgot the exact number, but at least 6)
    - 9 Scarlet Fruits
    - 1200 Sesame Yuanxiao (2500 MP in 10 seconds)
    - 2 Training Esoterica

    Beautiful Shards cost about 225k in Shabby Shards to construct from the NPCs. Since you can actually obtain that item from NPCs, the price of Beautiful Shards will eventually settle after a month or two (last night, they were about 100k each on the market). Assuming I can sell them for 200k each in the future, the profit from the shards alone will pay back what I've invested in this event.

    I can't make a prediction of how much the non-NPC items will sell for in the future, since I'm not an MMO economist. I'm also not sure if I will be using or selling all of these items. I'll probably keep the 2000+ Jiaozi / Yuanxiao, at least.

    From a limited, personal standpoint, I think the event was great! What I did was simply make an in-game monetary investment, and I am fairly confident it will pay off. The only downside is the lack of inventory space due to the Scarlet Fruits not stacking.

    From the standpoint of the economy, I think this event is **** it up. Heaven's Tear had a great economy of 100k per Gold. Last night, however, the price of Gold was at 117k, and it will only go up during this event. I have no idea if it will drop afterwards; one can hope.

    From the standpoint of fast leveling or comparative leveling, I am not a person who really cares about that. You may or may not; that is entirely your right, and I wont judge you for it. I personally don't take this game seriously.

    The ones I sympathize with the most are clerics. They need Guardian Angels, and the price of those are just going up and up and up.

    It should. We had the same inflation at the Halloween event, and everything returned back to normal afterward.

    That's great to know!

    I love Heaven's Tear. Heroes wait in line for Oracle quests. Tabber keeps drops. Economy is steady.

    For the people saying that Dreamweaver server was ruined by people leveling so quickly from 40x to 60x, I would say don't worry. Players always reach the 60s quickly and then it slows down-- there will be plenty of opportunity for catching up.
