BLOOD
http://www.dfoneople.com/news/notices/view/Minor-issues-from-last-maintenance Announcement for technical issues with events.

Short version: Rental weapon conflicting with a previous ended event, removed until the 6th, extended to the 27th, values changed to +10 reinforce +5 refine. Fixing the crafting recipe errors. Giving everyone a redo on the Day 14 box on the 6th.

Also apparently right now the Hollow Amulet's bonus applies to everywhere.

Checking to see if I somehow missed this--are growing weapons like Dragon/Phoenix weapons not eligible for Open Reinforcement? I have a +10 Dragon weapon, and the only extra thing on it is a couple of extra stats from the Sharan event a few months back.

edit: I'm going to guess it's because it doesn't have a fixed weapon level? I'm 77

they are not, which is a shame, because it'd be nice to get some tickets from the +12s collecting dust in my vault :[

How many characters should I bother doing this interdimensional car destruction stage on?

The Fragments and Energies are limited 25 per account so you probably only want 1-2 characters to farm those tops. But any character who has leveling to do can farm it for the 2x XP pots. Assuming you get 10 Hollow Crystals per run, 5x runs, that's 4 hours of 2x XP pots a day, way more than you should be able to even use. They can also get Jerry's Letter which is a free 5% of a level, and the extra Amulet for some bonus temporary stats.

So basically treat it as a permanent 2x XP pot event.

How about the quickslot items? There's an amulet in there with +physical/magical attack, which I assume scales like the netherworld amulet if you level it? Seems like once you get a character able to do it in 30 seconds consistently (from amulet damage boosts) one should switch to that?

All of them so you can hope to get Jerry's level 5x on someone asap and get the infinite use 70% hp/mp (1min CD) healing item? The thing is account bound so you get it on one character and then toss it on your MP intensive character(s) and every minute you can pop it for a huge refill.

There are two amulets. The one that costs 10 scales up the damage boost as you reinforce it, but the damage boost only works in the event room. The other one costs 50 and applies everywhere, but can't be reinforced so it doesn't get better.

Oh OK, I didn't realize that it can't be reinforced.

I've got two questions:

As a Vagabond, do the bonuses apply to both the weapons I wield, or only the one I form with my off hand? For example, if I'm wielding 2 greatswords, do I get the 10% bonus twice?

And about reinforcing, have they reduced the gold costs yet to make it so that normal players can partake in that poo poo without going completely broke?

Kiri is the game's main money sink by an exponential factor. Nobody will ever be able to reinforce without chewing through millions.

(Vagabond weapon bonuses apply only to main hand, your offhand must be a LS.)

I know that, but with Qigong - Yang I can change what my offhand weapon is. It does retain its LS stats (at 10% of their power), but do these bonuses apply to the main hand as well? You CAN dual wield the same weapon type. I know it's not a good idea, but you can.

Ohhh, that. Those bonuses apply to the main hand, what you actually wield in the main hand doesn't affect Qigong. So basically most Vagabonds should be wielding zans for the high attack power, full stop. Or LS if you want to be a total blender.

Qigong a bludgeon because their disgusting hitstop combined with Vag's X mashing makes it feel like you're playing the game in a pool full of glue.

These other guys are confused, but I know what you're talking about buddy. Unfortunately, I'm also not too sure. Switching Qigong to Zanbato mode is supposed to add 10% more attack strength. But the offhand already gives you 10% of its phys. and mag. damage, plus 10% of any piercing it has. It should work, I guess, but it'll probably make you slow as crap, and I personally don't like that. GOTTA GO FAST

And we can even summon a cloud of lightning to follow us around doing more damage. It's amazing when the cloud does its final attack right on top of a boss being hit by your second awakening. :science:

If you haven't been clearing Forgotten land you might want to do so because the Oblivious jewelry set seems to give a lot of elemental damage and that can only be a good thing for Indras given all the light/fire/water damage you're dishing out.

The issue with forgotten land is that a lot of classes will want chronicles in their accessory slots. You'll probably also want a chronicle in your sub-equipment slot, and the magic stones aren't as good as the unique Tears while taking longer to farm.

Is there actually a way to farm for the Tears? Or do you just mean, faster to just farm up ~19m gold by some means and buy one outright?

The second one. I think the most "reliable" way to get them is via skeleton keys, if that's your kind of poison.

one of the event quickslot amulets lets you repair for free after SSS ranking a dungeon. If you can't get medals for whatever reason you can still enter forgotten lands twice a day and repair for free there.

I think the whales are getting desperate for reinforcement money, TAO packages going for 14-15m, snagged a soul bender set from a dude.

Making a bit of money off of flipping base TAO titles, just spending 200-300k on tickets and rolling until I hit a Prime, which are selling for 2m over base titles

What weapon should I be aiming for for support Dark Lord in OV? Just a Legacy for Bremen?

It was pretty easy to get 100 when the hour long special was running in channel 11 last night. I think they're going again today at 12PM - 1 PM EST and 10 PM - 11 PM EST. It's packed when the buff is on.
