  • b:thanks Done. Thanks for pointing it out.
  • Nicely done. You weren't kidding when you said it'd be an ultimate guide! If there was an award for useful contributions, you'd win it hands down. Adding this to the useful links sticky now. I'll spend some time reviewing it when I get home.
  • I'll keep an eye out for it and add it to the useful links page once you're done. I'll probably remove any of the pet links you use from the UL page too, since we're nearing 30 links for the pet section.
  • I can add a link to this thread from the useful links, calling out the formula in particular. Altho it might be better to generalize it for all veno related cash shop items (legendary pets x4, cages, etc).
  • For the love of Pan Gu, this thread exploded fast... I'd say this happened long before R9. It goes at least back to when hercs first came out and there was an influx of venos that went "i r tank. derp spam heal and the occasional venomous. wat is amp?" Not debating the JOSD bit, but why would you use the Vit stones in…
  • New section added (Other: Botting) since it's been a somewhat recent repeated question. I could have sworn there was another thread floating around on this subject from a few month ago, but I didn't see anything when I looked, so if anyone happens to know of a good discussion on this, let me know and I'll add it. (I might…
  • I'm glad it helps, and you're perfectly welcome to use them. If you decide to include them, you might want to note that a couple of the items aren't as easy to come across (trophy capes, bloodmoon wrists, etc), but there should be enough other gear available to make up for that. Eh, I figure that people who play for the…
  • To be honest, I wish I hadn't had time to do that...it really only happened because I was stuck in an elevator for 6 hours and was (un)lucky enough to have my laptop and extra battery with me and be close enough to a wifi hotspot. I've been toying with the idea of writing up the results and posting a thread about it, but…
  • Assuming you're using the Herc on your level 100+ Veno, it might be more beneficial to not replace Pounce with Bash, at least for now. One of the biggest reasons that Bash was recommended was to help keep aggro, which isn't really as much of an issue if you evolve your Herc and go for aggro skills with the moods. (Check…
  • Glad those could help! So I guess I should explain my caveat about those being my "human form" version. The full story: Basically, I got frustrated with seeing people make claims of "I always hold aggro against X, Y, or Z", when my own experiences with those classes doesn't support those claims. (One example is that Venos…
  • This, altho I'd also recommend looking at molds and the easier to acquire pack gear as well- anything that has reliable stats. TT is a great option, but there are also comparable options and many people get so bogged down in the idea of needing a full set of TTX gear that they completely ignore the rest of the available…
  • If your friend is specifically looking for a tanking pet, then as Ruechen said, the Windwalking Piggy is the best free pet. However, I'd have her look at how she plays while using air pets. If she doesn't really need a tanking pet, then a leveled Cloud Skatefish or Petite Sawfly might be a better option. Both of these have…
  • Take a look at the bottom of this page. It hasn't been updated to include some of the more recent content (such as portions of the spirit fox form quest), but iirc, it should be accurate for everything in the lower levels.
  • Multiple stickies and wikis exist for a reason. And for things not stickied, there's this: Venos are a complicated class with a myriad of valid build options, so giving the answer isn't as easy as you imply. Thankfully, this answer has already been debated and explained many times, so we've already pointed you at those…
  • I like the idea of idea of a gear swap icon (similar to fashion sets in the wardrobe). While it would make sins a little more dangerous, it'd be helpful to swap from offensive gear to more defensive gear quickly as well. For example, any arcane class might swap from channel ornaments to upgraded warsong/cube ornaments.…
  • Overall, not bad. I'll be adding this to the useful links thread shortly. Quick caveat to my feedback- I started going thru this before Desdi's initial reply, so there may be some duplicate and/or items you've already fixed. I tried to remove them, but something might have slipped thru. Purely an aesthetics preference, but…
  • It's a toss up between Seal of the God and Elven Boon for me. Both are incredibly useful and it's so much fun to troll people with SotG. Wings of Protection, or Feather Ball amongst friends.
  • Yes and no. As much as I love Sage Bloodpaint, at end game the difference is insignificant. However, that doesn't negate it's usefulness to lower leveled toons or even high level ones that don't have their gear maxed out. The title of the thread asks if Demon BP is better than Sage, which it clearly is not. If the topic…
  • All you're really saying is that with these two sins, the demon sin has 150% of the DPS that the sage sin has. That comparison becomes irrelevant as soon as you put both sins in a squad and have the sage sin paint both of them. Now the demon sin has 150% DPS and 150% paint heals. Demon BP will never heal more than Sage.
  • Desdi has a guide + video linked here.
  • The problem is that the part in red also applies to clerics. I'm well aware of how awesome cleric DD can be and really enjoy some of the cleric only squads I've been in. However, I've seen far more clerics overheal/buff/etc even when there are other clerics and their actions are becoming redundant. I was in a squad awhile…
  • 1. Create a new character of the tideborn race. 2. Leave the origination realm before acquiring any aquametals. 3. Never equip -int or rank gear. 4. Make your way to the alter of your choice. No worries. Glad it's been figured out! b:pleased
  • Did you happen to change your cultivation? I'm not sure what more you can check or try short of sending in a ticket and offering virgin tadpoles to Pan Gu.
  • Just trying to rule out the obvious here... - Do you have the book in your inventory? - Is the book the actual book and not a book ticket or something you need to right click and/or exchange to get the actual book? - Do you have enough coin? - Do you have enough spirit? - Are you talking to a Venomancer trainer? (As…
  • In general, there are a few different ways to acquire sage/demon skillbooks: Drops in FB89 (Eden, Brim) Drops in FB99 (SoT, Abba) Manufacturing from Mysterious Pages into a random skill book (See the Boutique Agent's options) Manufacturing from Old Book Pages into a random skill book (Forges in 1k, Cube) Manufacturing from…
  • Did you have all of the shards? If so, trash and retake, like Mayfly and Deffy have said. Not sure if this is helpful, but I've been working on a guide for this. My plan was to put it up on the wiki, but seeing as how that's down for maint, I might as well post it here for now. The part you're at has been highlighted in…
  • Added Deffy's link to the useful links page. (New Subsection in Chapter 2: Other) @Barri, there are a few other threads linked off of that sticky that go into more details of some of the more recent content. There's also a new guide that takes the expansions into consideration, provided by Vitenka. I though the red part…
  • This is true most of the time, but it seems to not apply to all of the rank gear quests. Rank 9 is a little funny in that it's the only Rank level that requires you to front a lot of items to get the ring itself, so I can't confirm one way or the other about what current vs historical level is needed for acquiring it. Glad…
  • My guess is that you need to have a current level of 101 to take the quest to progress from R8 to R9. If you were already R9, you don't need to be 101 to take more gear quests. (I did this last night on a level 102^100 character.)
  • More questions: - What level bp do you have? - What is your -int? - Are you charmed (HP/MP)? - What mobs are you fighting? (And is it in a high traffic area such that people would want to **** up your bot?) - Are there any bosses nearby? (Ship Captain Smythe, possibly from the screenshot.) A couple of things you may want…
