    Would anyone happen to know if you need to chienkun refines/shards for each reroll of r8rr like you currently have to for g16 Nirv and r9rr?

    Don't know exactly but it's very likely that's how it'd be, it prints money.

    ===

    Is this r8rr instance the only new instance in this update ? from the SS the location is in world map desert area, does that mean unrebirthed chars can get in ?

    there's "a70" (no idea) a63 redone (start map) and "random03" (new desert place)

    r3(as I will call it in the post for ease of typing) Will allow any character to enter. The catch is they need a special item from someone to use it. r3 requires a level 101+ that has been rebirthed twice (I think. my chinese is well.. I don't speak any) for either r8rr or lower levels. If the gear remains the same, the gear is better than TT gear of the same/similar level.

    Equipment Upgrades
    R8r, Morai gear, and Warsoul weapons can be upgraded

    Quest Optimization

    4) New 8x and 9x BHs
    5) New quests in each race's main city
    6) level 28-105 quests have their XP buffed
    9) New daily for lvl 83-95
    10) Optimization for World Quest daily
    13) XP increase for Morai quests

    All DQ Items are 1 COIN (death of bot induced inflation!)

    I had selected good for my old characters changes, which will possibly occurs after next expansion.

    "All DQ Items are 1 COIN" has it's good (see above) and bad side (I used DQ items during my manual grinding as source of income).

    Anyone playing on China-servers knows what's the easiest way to make TT99-gold scythe and saber? And what mats are needed for TT60-70-80-90(-99 gold)-weapon paths?

    Just thinking so that Kitty could prepare for that 'cause she's likely to have her first duskblade and stormbringer around 70 after first day. o.o

    I don't know "For sure" but I would say treat them like dagger/soul orb. that may get you a good point for where you want to be

    I don't think anyone answered this yet so i'll ask now. Does stormbringer passive and squad buff affect "pve" dmg?? This would be nice to know info I would believe.

    Since there are 12 classes in Eclipse, does this expansion add 2 more slots in squad or still a squad of 10 ?

    what are the "transformation" pics about for nightshade? do they have different forms via an ability like the tideborns mermaid form or venos fox form? or is that just meditation only transformation?

    im kinda dissapointed at the fact that they are human/earthguard looking clones, so im hoping they atleast have different forms.

    I'm sorry but whoever said that a sword can reach 5 aps is extremely mistaken. sins can reach 5 aps with demon triple spark and .5 total interval on a 1.25 base. That means swords need .6 + 25%. their demon form is 20% and .6 does not exist in this game except for triple interval daggers and double int r8rr which that gear is completely terrible and a 1 shot, so is aps gear. It is awful. So in the end not only is aps not viable on this class, it would also be rather stupid. Your "aps" will be roughly 1.67-1.82 (if even that) fully geared in demon form and thats more than enough. The physical class like i said before is not a damage class it is a class made for support and its damage will suck.


    you are funny. i remember when sins were announced people refused to believe they can get 5APS. it was proven wrong day 1 of there launch.

    Maints are on Tuesday at 11PM PST. So servers go down at the typical time, we wait the usual 2 (or more) hours, then servers come back up with the expansion live. It starts being implemented the 16th because that's when the servers go down, but we won't actually be able to play it until the 17th since that's when the servers will come back up.

    The exception to this being East Coast and Morai servers since due to time zones they'll both have the servers going down on what will be the 17th for them.

    Maint have been done on Mondays before quite a few times actually. You sure we won't be able to play it till Wednesday? If my memory is correct EG expansion was released 2-3 hours after 12 am on its release date. I hope it's the 16th like it says.

    It has been done on Monday a few times, true... but in this case don't expect it. With EG expansion, they had originally said it'd be in February, after all. That combined with the last few expansions being alongside regular maints (and when asked they had even answered in a similar manner about it) leaves me less than hopeful about us getting a Monday maint for the expansion.

    Kossy, could you please ask them to post a manual patch, just this once?
    I've been doing expansions via manual patch for ages now, to save the headache of having to wait for hours for the automatic updates to work, when so many are trying to download them.
