Yeah yeah, this has probably been mentioned a thousand times before.
So here is 1001.

Drop the fee from Lunar so people can run the instance when it comes up. There's good gear to be made from that instance. It produces the best Nirvana upgrades too. But the number of runs to get the mats combined with the 3000000 coin fee make it a serious pain in the posterior to get through.

Please, PLEASE make an adjustment. Lower the fee, drop it all together, something.b:surrenderb:surrender

    It would be great to sell the EoD for 3M. But getting into the instance and running it is the trick. Forming squads takes forever, it's worse forming BH Lunar than any other squad. Why? What could be the reason? Oh wait, I know... the FEE!

    Is it really necessary to charge to run this one instance? No other instance has a fee. No other instance is as difficult to form runs for. If you can't see the correlation then you're blind.

    As for EoD going for 3M, yeah... if you get it and if you can sell it for the full price. I see them more often going for significantly less than 3M. Plus, there are good chances to make 2-5M per BH100 run anyway from Ecstacy/Excitement cards, the EoD isn't much more in the long run especially considering prices for in game items at the 100+ level.
    Skills run 20-30M, gears/stones run 20-75M... please, the 500k for this instance isn't much but it's more than enough to put people off running a good instance for some reason.

    TT - ultimate subs
    Nirvana - keys
    Caster Nirvana - Talisman + keys
    EU - Tuc Su Toxin
    AEU - Scroll
    Warsong - Mirages

    Why does Lunar have such a steep fee? Because its short and easy to run? The gear that comes from it is arguably better than TT and its unbound. So you want this better gear with its unbound/resell perk to be cheaper to obtain? I think its a fine trade off for the benefits of the gear.
    Want gear thats cheaper to obtain, but has fewer perks? Pay the tiny sub fee and run TT instead.

    Besides that even, there are countless threads that predate the 3mil Essence of how Lunar isnt the waste of entry fee people believe it is.

    Wrong. Try form EU.. b:surrender and it's even free.
    Full delta also isn't easy to form and it's free. So blame it on lazyness rather then fee.
    Anyway, no need to make things even easier then they are...

    Both of these. Sorry but it's status as a gear instance far outweighs it's status as a BH. And therefore it should stay the way it is. You're not getting gear from Aba and SOT, you're not getting great gear from Delta without putting in hours of work for a single run. You can't just ignore what else Lunar has to offer just because it's a BH.


    Personally I wish they'd add more variety to BH, like putting in a boss from EU as a BH boss.

    Is OP really serious about this?

    World chat " Bh Lunar, full free, Free, pm for invite" I assure you a blue wall will happen. If there is no blue wall, your server is not really populated or people have no idea how to do lunar.

    There are card bosses in lunar b:shocked, there are 2 of them, they have been there since eons, 2 card bosses = 3m fee paid for free.

    There is essence of defense = 3m.

    There are 3 wygie bosses = good mats/molds for those into this stuff.

    Lunar mats are an extra.

    Pay for the run, you can easily make 3~10m extra per run. If people want to be the lazy kind, let's click on bh dude, lets click on illusion stone, click bh boss, boss dead, get reward, might be best to skip lunar, there is too much clicking in lunar for most people.

    I fail to see how people still want no fees.

    Next we will be hearing, tt 3-x is too hard, my lvl 80 sin can not solo, make those bosses easier.

    I never got the chance to do tt BH, but i am sure if the tt bh was after TT bosses got changed, people will still complain.

    What others said is true, plus don't forget the gears you can make with lunar mats are not bound like TT are which is a big advantage.

    I completely agree with what everyone have already mentioned....but really the difficult part about lunar isn't forming a team or getting the 500k opening fee back...it's to form a GOOD team that will ensure a smooth run and also, the TIME factor

    The mobs in lunar hits really hard and if the puller isn't prepared, he gets sealed and than killed, so the team has to clear to him without a tank/DD. Some teams can't even do more than 1 group and if the team doesn't have enough DD, you are just stuck in that group of mobs for a long time because mobs will keep on spawning. b:cry

    Other times, the puller pulls wayyyyy too much and many teams doesn't have enough survivability/DD for them which results in wipes or an arcane tanking all the mobs while I try my best to keep him healed and other people back on their feet....which is ridiculous. b:surrender

    The teams that I have mentioned above....are the ones that are even less likely to succeed on killing the bosses. Those kind of runs can take up to 2 hours....most of the time ending up with guildies coming to my aid... Personally, if I can't form a team that has at least 3 members who are my friends or who I have ran with before, it's just not worth it for me to do lunar when it can be both time consuming, a money eater(tons of charm ticks :p), and make me feel like ripping my hair out b:shutup

    I dunno.. every time I spam in the WC: "LFM Free Full Lunar my essence (Get your BH done)", I get a lot of messages.

    Just sell the EoD at the end for what you pay in the fee. Yeesh.

    If at all you should be getting friends and factionmates to join you first.

    Don't stop them b:shocked. I love it when that happens.

    I pay 500k, and i get 3m~10m in return, i am not complaining b:victory.

    aquawitchzz - that is a very poor dd squad you have been going with. If people are r8, there are casters around, debubffs and amps are timed, things will die quick even with low refines on weapons, 3~7. My wizzy friends hits for 300k~500k with her r8 weapon when mobs are debuffed, her weapon is r8 +3. It is a matter of timing for lower dd squad. Most often take a bm along with bp, bms are good substitute pullers and agro holders, they can stun often.

    "Cleric +3 random for full lunar, my fee my drops, pm class"

    gets me more then enough pms to make multiple runs. Duo comp the whole run, end up with 6 badges, 1 ess of def, bunch of lunar mats, maybe even a gold mat... more then enough to cover whatever fee I fronted.
    oh and lunar actually used to be free.

    Yea... and lunar used to also take 5+ hours... only runable by the absolute top tier.
    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.

    Was that because of gear issues? Didn't know best strategies? Things were different? I am curious how the old times were.

    .

    Nothing wrong with splitting coins on the essence drop, as long as everyone is on board. Makes a lot of sense actually, everyone gets a share of the big drop, lousy luck gets taken out of the equation. On average it ends up the same, it's just not prone to streaks.

    Well first of all it was a harder instance. Basically what is now trophy mode is the first three levels of old Lunar. The first stage of Humorum MP mode would have been the 4th stage (but harder).

    Not to mention this was before the time of Nirvana/Rank. So the best gear people could hope to be doing Lunar with was TT stuff.

    Humorum MP mode was added as an easy mode with increased drops because nobody was crazy enough to run old Lunar.

    it is too bad that they didn't just make a variant of the {Lunar runs} that just used something like {Ulti-Subs} just like solo TT-runners can... And then just nerf the (drop rates) of the good stuff during those runs, so BHr's could finally afford doing the BH's in there (rather then blowing a minimal of a 500K (on average) split, for the blasted runs in there.....b:surrender

    Mobs debuffing, hitting harder, 1shotting barbs with the right combo of debufs.
    Primal fear had twice as much HP if I recal correctly. I remember seeing a vid of 'first time ever' killing Primal Fear. Which was only after the nerf

    LoL I know, I used to do lots of solo runs in there with my veno before I retired her...

    I was just trying too say it would be nice if they'd let you sub {Ult. subs / for coin} instead, and that the amount of Subs you use instead of coin would (adjust/nerf) the drops accordingly too the amount of subs you would use....b:victory


    or in other words, if your squad chose to use (full coin) you get (full drops)

    But if your squad chose too use enough subs to drop the rate to say (250k per) instead of the normal 500k (you'd atleast be able to get half the drops that you'd normally get on a full coin run)


    that would be a possible effective way to drop the bh costs if they allowed an option like that, at the NPCs in LG's entrance valley, if you could just select a specific {BH run option ~ from them} and then just choose how much actual coin you all wanted too use for the run...

    Guess I musta lost the meaning on ya on what I was trying to say initially....b:dirty

    Its a shame that so few like to run lunar because of the fee. Next to AEU and full warsong, its one of the most fun instances IMO. Not to mention the 95 lunar green gears can be farmed there which are on par with tt99 defensively and dirt cheap to make.

    That being said, since they added the adv boss, i ran two free lunars with friends and took some random people from world chat. I sold the essence to a catshop buying at 3m, could have sold for more, but i got my bh done and got my lunar mats so i was happy. In the process i helped out my friends get a free bh done.
