I'll be honest. I haven't logged in since I wrote the last update on this guide; so someone else needs to take it over.

An expanded "looking for group" interface is a good thing... But.... "Interests"? "Looking for Love"? this is beyond creepy. Seriously, what were they thinking?

No, I think classifying arc as a virus is pretty much spot on.

Heh, they introduced a pack that doesn't *even* give tokens? Impressive.

Whoa. I'm honoured. And scared. And still need to finish it.

Well.. yeah - genies kinda bummed me out. Stinkfish really broke it though.

It's one of the few places they deliberately refused a map. I agree it's annoying. I think they really did it because the actual map is all four past-time maps in one (quest routing will sometimes try to fly you through the walls) But I agree it would be nice. Still, they're not complex maps and it's fairly satisfying to…

Nice!

I'm not even slightly going to address evolved pets. That's way beyond the realm of this guide. But veno's can and do tank. We don't do it as well as Barb/Bm/Cheatfish. But we're probably in the next tier. Making us, as Kiszmet says, excellent backup tanks - which role I did try to emphasise. The opening statement is to…

Edit: I seem to be able to edit the first post again now; dunno what went wrong - so ignore this post unless you want history. Trying to add shards and petskills to guide. Testing my ability to post. At the end of the gear section: Note that you can, somewhat, use shards to shore up your weak spots. You'll almost always…

The weapons of the sages are level 90... :) But yeah - there certainly is a bump in power at 100; but it seems a damn shame to deny people their squads earlier. Saying all that though - anyone got a guide to actually starting this event? It's bugging me not actually knowing all the steps properly.

um.. those two code, up there? Those are the codes. And re-necro!

Here's another way to phrase the question, I guess. What is the mechanism for reclaiming our money once you make the game inaccessible except via ARC? Ideally, of course, all the money. But I can kinda understand you don't want to do that, so I'll probably settle for my current gold balance. Edit: Yes, I understand that a…

And gold is required for your cultivation. (Though not always immediately, the time-quests start very early on, but aren't actually needed until 100) There's also a component of difficulty - purple quests are harder.

Ah, here it is: http://pwi-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=497702 Luper's guide, not mine, but I helped :) (Post 16, page 2. And the sin revival post, page 3)

I should totally revive my Beauty-buff guide and tack it on :)

It's not finished! It probably advises you to put all your points into Dex and bananas in your ears!

That whole "Oh, the EoD..." No. I do not want to faff with acronyms and items and selling <BUNNIES!>. No. I want to go in, and kill stuff. Putting that barrier of faff in the way makes me ignore it. SoT and Snake is fine, I just don't seem to see it very often. Oh right, because everyone bundles it up with "SoT weekly"…

The entry fees make me ignore the whole place. Infinite numbers of acronyms and expected behaviours on drops and ****. I just wanna go in, kill some stuff, and leave. So yeah, Lunar I completely ignore. And Abba has the hateful rocks that seem to exist purely to weed out people without stupid levels of armour refines. So…

No, it actually explains it completely. PWI want eyeballs and moneys. Getting their stuff in front of us is therefore vital to them. The fact that their stuff is horrible <RABBIT-DUNG> that we don't WANT doesn't seem to factor in the reasoning. We came here for the game you're republishing, please don't stick stuff between…

And OHT and Morai. The devs *really* like time travel loops in quest chains. And yes, I was mainly referring to the questline of the winged tiger in the first bit. It's pretty schlocky fantasy writing, but also quite a decent little story and it's a shame so many people blindly click through it. So ok, TODO: adding a…

Thanks. Added the genie stuff; and some limited amount of lore.

The fox one is much better when grinding. Or in valley of recip..reiccro..repo.. alpha/beta/gamma/delta. The human one is much better on bosses you don't dare run close to. On bosses with no AOE, or huge-range AOE, it's pretty much a wash. I think I may have gotten human form first, but they were pretty soon after each…

Thanks; added those opinions on the genie skills - and added earthquake which I have and use and completely forgot while writing the guide :) (I double-check on pwpedia for the oh-so-accurate in-game descriptions of the skills too.) Any more comments from anyone at all? Please? I'd also especially like to get suggested…

Ok; updated taking some of those comments into account, putting some aside as TODO for later. The main reason endgame isn't addressed so heavily: I'm not really a heavy endgame player, I'm a level 99 who levelled up a couple of times too many :) And also, while writing it, I wrote so much on the early stuff I ran out of…

Thanks for both of these, will add something to the guide later. There are two main problems with adding a full HA guide here too: 1. I'm not HA, I don't have the expertise. That's where you people come in. 2. The guide is already getting huge (and you're asking for duplicating stuff from one part into another already,…

Another classic tweaks post. Horrible attitude... but a damn good idea. I already slapped in pdef/hp advisories for each level range - but I honstly don't remember what my magic attack was at each level. I've put in some sugegsted weapons to aim for (TT60, wheel of fate) - do you have numbers for each range I can put in;…

Dunno about anyone else; but yeah, I loathe archers with a passion. A foxform HA veno can maybe survive them, but for me they're just pure evil. Shooting me from out of range, with stuns and stuff. somewhat offtopic, though; neh?

Mayfly - updated based on your input (and going back to ecatomb to remember when some of those skills are first learned.) Thanks. Raziyal - thanks for the encouragement. I agree, the sections have started to get too long again; any suggestions on breaking it out? Desdi - thanks for the encouragement; anything at all you…

Yeah; trying to remember what the game was like at level 30 while confused is hard. Still, tried my best.
