  • Only males can carry females, regardless of who initiates the cuddle. This is one of the reasons to roll a female character - they're the only ones who get to be lazy and be carried everywhere. This is particularly useful in forest ruins, where getting to an area quickly without dying is the whole point.
  • You get 5 points a level. I'm assuming your scheme is for every 2 levels then, so you'd still have an extra point left over somewhere. Instead of a set level up scheme like that, figure out what you want ultimately in the long run and build towards that. By that I mean, decide on the type of armor you want first: robes,…
  • I thought it was about all the fireworks and fashion shows! C'mon, what other game allows you to beat stuff up wearing stiletto heels and a bikini on a flying fish?
  • Well, it's not "foolish". It's a perfectly viable build. As for hp stones - who doesn't have hp stones at lvl 100? By that level, the only real reason you're making money is to create hp stones past grade 8 or 9 and enchant your items to the same. You also get some hp from enchanting your equipment. A pure int build isn't…
  • The ingame quest and coordinate system actually tell you where all the npcs are (except for the 3-4 quests that were bugged in MY). http://pw.rob-soft.com/m1.php will let you locate most mobs in the game. But yea, getting groups for cultivation will be annoying now - especially if you end up having to delay getting new…
  • Well, it's not all so depressing though. I mean, sure you have to make specific items (usually a few 2-star items) to get past specific crafting levels, but it's not too hard to figure out what items those will be beforehand, so you can start saving up. Also, even with the quest, you still need to skill up your crafts…
  • Ah, so you were talking only about aoe grinding. But that's still not accurate then, since not all mmorpgs even allow you to aoe grind. On the other hand, there are mmorpgs that make group members take up certain positions on the field, or stay in one location, in order to grind effectively in certain situations depending…
  • You're not "forced to". You can go grind in butterflies and fish for exp too. I'd rather stand still in an array than spam the same hotkey combo over and over again though.
  • 8 hours a day? You can probably get to 60 within 1-2 weeks, especially if you're willing to keep yourself equipped with hieros. However, considering that this game will start everyone off at level 1, you might have some trouble getting through cultivation boss fights and fbs if you just powerlevel ahead of everyone. Also,…

  • Actually, if you thought aoe groups took a long time and was boring, do you have any idea how much longer and more tedious solo grinding those levels are? Zhen, for most of the levels 60+, is the 2nd fastest method of consistent leveling that I can think of. Besides, the main attraction of zhen is that you don't have to do…
  • Drama and flaming are all fine--as long they're done with some semblance of proper English. So tired of trying to decipher whatever variant of Engrish happens to be most popular every time I see a worldchat.
  • It's been a while, but I seem to recall that you can't use those pots while in an active array....or maybe that only applies to crafted pots? Also, at least until the price of cubi inflates up, the # of lvl 70 pots needed for a few rounds of zhen costs more gold than hieros do (assuming you could keep up with the pots at…
  • Leveling is incredibly fast right up until 60ish with tons of quests. You can get to 60 in 1-2 weeks if you're efficient or less if you're fast. After 60ish, it tapers off a bit, and by the time you hit 70 and especially 80, quests will hardly give you any exp at all. There are also daily repeatable quests as mentioned…
  • You can't play effectively without cash-shop items at higher levels depending on your class and what you plan to do. If you're a cleric, you will need hieros for runs even if you don't zhen. If you're in TW, you're not contributing your best unless you have hieros. Also a lot of what makes the game so fun (fashion,…
  • It's not as bad as you're making out. There are decent and useful guides on the MY forums, especially covering the major builds (pure int, light, con hybrid, dual, etc.) if you dig hard enough. Besides, most guides are unnecessary - it's pretty hard to make a permanent mistake since you can undo and redo everything (albeit…
  • Wizards do have fairly strong AOE, and they have the most variety of AOE of any class that I can think of (hail, fire array, the 3 dooms, phoenix), and most have extra effects (stun, slow, knockback, 50% physical damage, paralyze, etc.). However, like in almost any mmorpg, the times when you'll be able to AOE will be…
