Okay so I just beat the WKC 1 story and it dumped me right into WKC2 which is fine by me except that I was reading about a lot of stuff that you get in WKC after starting a newgame+, things like GR7+ armor in chests that wont appear in certain areas during your first playthrough.
Anyone know if there is a way to revisit these areas in WKC2 in order to find these chests and armors. Also from what I understand certain drops will only appear after you are in a newgame+ and are doing areas based on a GR of 7 or 14. As of yet I am not able to access a world map in WKC2(only just started it really) but the way the game seems to feel is that WKC and WKC2 have fused into one game so it would stand to reason I might be able to go back.
Just wanted to ask before I get too far into WKC2 and find out I need to start WKC over if I want all that shiny stuff.

I wouldn't worry about it too much as the GR has been raised in WKCII and all that stuff from 1 is oudated now. you should just keep playing through II and work on increasing GR and collecting mats and such. Most all of the good stuff comes from missions online questing with other players and well I guess you can solo some of them but much easiar with a group.

I don't think the NG+ chests from the first one are around in the second game but you'r not missing out on anything too big just some lv 35 > 48 armors that you can bind fiarly easily I think.
As far as I know there are no bonuses to NG+ in wkc2.
Edit: I lied, remembered it was lv35 > 42 weapons and armor not 48 sorry.

Yeah I guess I will just keep going then. I remember one of the NG+ items that I was wanting to farm was a treant face which according to the craptacular wiki they have only drops on NG+ with GR7+, but in WKC2 I just had 3 drop off the same treant so no point in trying to go back I guess.

Yeah, a lot of the farmable mats dropped at the end of one drop like candy in 2. Make sure to keep everything too whether it be to donate to raise your binding rank or to bind/enhance items.

If it helps any I can explain a bit on how the drops work... Spoilered for if you don't care :P
Each mob comes in 3-4 tiers, when you are in the first game portion all the mobs you fight are 1st tier and have those drops. When you move onto the second game all the mobs become 2nd tier (so first tier can only be gotten from quests now) with a new set of drops, which in the first game could only be found in GR 7, 8, and 9 quests. There are also some places where 3ed tier ones can be found shareing place holders with other mobs.

Yeh try not to sell or donate anything untill you have it in excess. I generally go with 70-100 of a common item (with some exceptions) as my buffer before selling or donateing and 40-50 of the mid range ones... The rare ***you probably will never go above 3 of so don't even think about it on those ones :P
Edit: I also recommend staying off the boards untill you finish the game, you will get slammed by spoilers in the most innocent of places if you don't >.>

Ahh yeah I spent some time down there and still haven't gotten that. Still can't get the ancient dragon heart either lol. only 2 or 3 errands left. I rebirthed this weekend though as my net was down lol. It's a lot different than I thought it would be. You must have to rebirth a bunch of times to get maxed out. Vell isn't too bad though I'm only GR 21 so I haven't gotten to stage 2 yet.

Yeh I've broken and bought the item ticket : ( I don't even know how many hours I've spent down here but so far it's just decided to screw with me by droping a flemron 208... For a few moments I was extreamly excited, then I saw the 2 and was all

Edit2: Oh and I just checked and have 7 rosenium 776 which are supposedly the same rate as the flemron just from 3ed tier instead of 2nd... so it's not that I'm not getting rare drops, just the rare drops that have no use to me XD

So you still do the rebirth thing in the second game? Probably a lot of reason I didn't see the GR7/8/9 monsters was cuz I didn't try those new quests derp. I pretty much spammed the "Best served cold" one and got up to GR 10 but then just plowed through the story after that.
And yeah stay off the boards for spoilers, and the wiki for that matter. I remember I was looking at Kara's page on there and while there was a spoiler tag in her info to keep that twist a secret, RIGHT UNDER HER PICTURE it says GOD DAMNIT WIKI

Well depends on how you look at it, she was either 17 OR a few thousand years old. It's a matter of perspective.

This is old news but info on guilds if anyone hasn't seen it. Info copy pasted into the spoiler not an actual spoiler XD
Guild Creation
To create a guild, the Guild Master must first purchase a 'Guild License' from the PSN Store (Not sure what the price will be exactly, but expect it to be around the $20 mark.) The Guild Master will be able to admit members, manage the guild and adjust other settings concerning the guild.
Joining a Guild
Once a guild is created, other players can apply to join - With the Guild Master having the responsibility of accepting or denying applications. There can be up to 250 members (including the Guild Master) in a guild at any one time, and each avatar can only be a member of one guild at any one time. (Guild members DO NOT require a License to join the guild.)
The Concierge
Each Guild will have a special character known as 'The Concierge', who will provide support for maintaining the Guild and the Guild Town. The Guild Master is the only person who can change the settings through the Concierge. (This will also allow you to change the items available for sale in the Guild Town.)
The Guild Page
Each Guild will have a page dedicated to their own organisation and will serve as an application page for people who want to join and an access page for current Guild members.
Guild Town
The Guild Town is Guild-Member only town which will serve as a meeting place, questing location and purchasing point. As when creating rooms in a normal Geo, there will be an option to allow Guests (non-guild members) to join.
As in WKC1, the Guild Town level will increase as you raise the Guild Rank (which is given to a guild as a whole, not just an individual member.)
Guild Forums
The Forums can now be set to allow only Guild members to view and reply to threads (much like the current system for Friend-only Adventure Logs.)
B-Mail
You can now batch-mail players through B-Mail, in addition to mailing every member of the Guild (which will be very useful for announcements, event planning, news etc.)
Developing the Guild
Players will not only be able to develop their own avatars, but can contribute to the 'Prestige Points' of the guild - Which will be calculated by the servers on a regular basis, providing a Guild Ranking Board and adding to the Guild level. (Note that the Guild Level can also go down as well as up.)
Guilds which maintain a high level will have access to various benefits in the Guild Town.
Raising Guild Level and Prestige
Every day the guild will receive 'Guild Tokens' which can be used when posting a quest. Upon completing the quest you will receive 'Geostones' and Prestige Points for your Guild. (To this end, active guilds will be well rewarded, while more casual ones will not gain the true benefits available.)
There is a special Ticket available for the Guild Master to purchase which will increase the number of Guild Tokens available to the Guild per increment.
Guild Ranking List
When a Guild is created, an entry on the Ranking List is made - And this will form the basis of which guilds will gain the various levels of benefit.
The order is based on the Prestige Points gained by the Guild Members through the 'Guild Tokens', and is calculated frequently to give an up-to-date listings of the Guild standing.
(The Top 10 Guilds will receive some very useful benefits in their Guild Town.)
So far the only info there is about getting DLC is "holidays" so most likely get this around christmas along with more quests and such.

:D We should totally make a guild!
Also anyone know of any tips to make the AI less HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE when it comes to buffs? I have Yulie set to a healer kinda role with a bow with orders to hang back and heal which she does well enough, but when I call her into action she has a habit of hitting 2/3 people with haste+ and then using haste+ again, basically using an -aga and 3x the MP just to cover one person, meanwhile fortify+ gets the back burner until she has everyone covered, and then shes outta MP basically (she does have spirit hymn though which *sometimes* keeps her in the game).

Just noticed a minor paradox thingy
When you go to the past, to the night of the ball, if you go to Rapacci expecting to get chewed out for not picking up the wine, guess again. As if he can see into the future Rapacci simply wishes you luck in the whole saving the world bit. XD

That does indeed seem to work, but also lose the benefit of having those when I need to control her at the ready or the few times she is intelligent and actually hits all 3 of us with it.
On a side note I just ran into my first Wraith. That was not fun as I don't have anyone set up with magic damage. Luckily I had some points to pump into Yulie and got that holy magic and just had everyone target that bad boy and ignore the adds. Going to have to rethink some skilltrees though or start switching in the old man when I see those coming.

I think you have to hit wraiths with Holy+ to proc weakness to be able to physically damage them.

Holy+ or just the single target works as well, same thing for killing the succubus's, if you use it on the skeles once they fall down it normally instant kills them as well. I think I was in that room fighting the wraith for about 30min the first time since yulie was the only one that had holy and she was occupied with cures.
For the AI bit there isn't really a way to get them to use it effectivly, best to just swap over and do it your self if you need it. Haste is kinda an iffy spell for DDs though just a heads up because alot of attack animations won't finish before the action gauge charges so it sit's at full not doing anything. If you have yulie set to Heal First she will spirit hymn whenever someone is below 50ish mp (might depend on their max mp) unless a heal is a higher priority at the time.
As for the guild, if we have enough interest I don't mind paying for the guild license and if not could always seek a guild together or something. I think they have that cost for the license in place so there arn't some 100+ 3-5 player guilds running around not really getting anything out of the system.

It's almost crazy (or maybe I am just being a baby) how the difficulty from WKC > WKC2 jumps up. Through WKC I never *HAD* to use magics, or aerial attacks, I pretty much just straight up DD'd through the whole thing and only ever used tier 1 heals. Then WKC2 kicks me in the face with flying enemies, physical immune enemies, and these damnable trolls who have shields (is there a way to break their shield stance or just wait it out?). Nothing impossible to gauge so far though, just a steep learning curve there which is not fun the first time through exactly.

Caesar, or as I like to call him "His Royal Sexiness".
Also for the information of all WKC players, Greede Underbelly is officially the worst place ever in the history of ever.
I hate it more that the Water Temple.
