I hit level 120 yesterday. I've now gone 'over' level 121 and got the next Mastery level (yay...); wondering if, when the level cap goes up, I will instantly get all the level-ups I earned in the meantime. I figured XP would either stop at 120 or at 120.999 rather than rolling over.

You won't instantly get those levels, just mastery tokens; the mastery shop is useless right now but will be better after an update, I think sometime around the 180 cap.

So tomorrow is my monthly login free rare equipment reward. I've been saving all my A-A combines for a couple of weeks so I can get maximum EV by waiting to see what freebie I get first. Which turns out to have been an excellent idea because now they are running an event where every A-A combine gives you a free R varnish.

I have about 20 combines ready to roll tomorrow morning. I'll quote this after I get zero rares and the freebie box gives me a duplicate of the rare boots I already have.

So the freebie box gave my Shillien Knight a loving rare Spear, which is entirely pointless (equipment for your class my rear end). Thankfully I got a rare chest from my combines (on #22 of 22!) so it wasn't a complete disaster.

Just so everyone else is aware - there are different types of boxes. Boxes with Selection let you select an item from a list and boxes marked Exclusive (what Vulpes opened) are a random item but exclusive to your base class. Unfortunately what this means is there are 3 weapon choices for warrior base types like knights/bladedancer - sword/shield, dual swords, and spear and 2 choices for dagger/archer types (dagger and bow, obviously). Mages all use the same rare staff so we will always get something we can use from exclusive boxes.

It's really not a good system and I dunno what you're supposed to do with the useless weapon besides turn it into fodder.

It has to be the same item (ie. rare spear can only be limit broken by another rare spear) so it's not even useful for that!

edit: I've heard that in some distant future patch SEA or Korea got some sort of bank that's shared across characters on the same account, so in principle you could hold onto it and maybe eventually give it to an alt.

Enhancement past low levels is so awful. Just spent eighty armor scrolls to go from +8 on my robe to... +8. Didn't get a single bump from +8 to +9 in forty attempts. It's a 45% chance to succeed.

You should consider playing the lottery - if the chance really is 45%, the odds of this are 1 in 100 million million. I think both the recent high Powerball and Megamillions jackpots were already won, unfortunately.

Lineage 2 is kind of like a reverse-lottery, where you hit insane odds and all you get is pain and suffering.

Just a heads up, we're working on transitioning Banhammer to be for the most active players - people who play daily and can make the Tues/Thurs dungeons reliably. BanGavel will become the more casual clan instead of just alts, though the leader is not a goon and I think inkel is the only one with powers to accept join requests, so we need someone to replace him, I guess either mine or Valsala's alt (or someone else that's active and wants to do it). Any volunteers? Talked to Nyx and got my alt promoted to 2nd in command so I can handle join requests.

Also: in the interest of getting more pages/clan boss cores, we'll try to do 2 boss runs on each dungeon day. So on Tuesday we'll run VE/E/N/H for both, then reset Normal and Hard. On Wednesday, I'll reset Normal/Hard again so we can run them twice again on Thursday. E/VE aren't really worth resetting since they don't drop pages and don't drop high grade loot boxes (which can give pages and cores). If we can do this successfully, we'll pull in 12 healing strike and meteor storm pages per week, which will be awarded based on level and dungeon participation.

Attention: Everyone in Banhammer needs to familiarize themselves with our new DKP calculator.

https://eqdkp-plus.eu/wiki/How_to_Benutzung_EQdkp_Plus

It's all pretty straight forward. You'll have to learn German first, but if you're a truly dedicated hardcore raider that's a minor consideration.

Loot will be distributed based solely on the DKP system, the details of which are only fully understood by PBC and myself. There's no corruption going on here, really. Honest. Oh look over there Amadeus is up!

If we have the RSS, I think we should do dungeons as much as possible. Like multiple resets on Tuesday/Thursday.

You can only reset once per day so maximum of 2 runs per dungeon per day, assuming you reset the prior day. As I mentioned before though we'll shoot for VE/E/N/H for Vark and Ant on Tuesday, reset N/H, then do N/H twice on Thursday.

If we can sustain these dungeon clears we'll be in pretty good shape - 12 HS/MS pages per week is awesome. Compared to less casual clans, the only thing we'll really be missing is fortress siege.

We are not going to be able to compete for fortress unless we turn into a super hardcore clan. Fortress clans on Giran01 - which is one of the more competitive servers - are fielding 30+ 120s that are consistent/reliable and use discord. They also reset dungeons daily. Non-casual is one thing but fortress-fighting clan is a whole other thing.

I would like Banhammer to be full of active players interested in progressing but this is not a hardcore clan, in part because I'm not interested in and don't have time to run a clan like that, and in part because it would end up being 2-3 goons maybe and the rest pubbies, which...defeats the point of a goon clan.

Anyone with experience using the Slayer class know if it's worth putting points into Lucky Berzerker and Crave Impact given that they seem to give so little reward, compared to putting points into attacks (especially when I'm never running into MP issues)? I like investing in passive, but adding +40 attack 10% of the time seems kinda lame.
