I think enough people would stay that it would become what bahamut is now, but better (still higher numbers than that have now and better average geared and quality players)
It's dominoes.
The first event must lead to the last event.
They go, then they follow, then this subset go, then everyone starts championing asura v2 and thus it is done.
The buyers have to leave, the sellers have to follow, the crafters have to chase, the mercs have to follow the clients, the ML bots have to follow, the pick up scene dwindles, inevitable.
If it isn't interceded by inorganic forces like square closing bahamut first. Or causing a banwave. A global AH. Or doing something else unpredictable.

There's always the possibility we make it worse. At least, I take 'other potential measures' as potentially worse. How *** would you be if they suspended ALL world transfer service?

Is there really no way to reobtain or swap the Adoulin mission necks? It seems strange if there isn't compared to the rest of the game's similar items.
I regret not grabbing the Reive: +25% wsd one back in the day after recently helping some friends get their wkr clears...

As far as I know, there isn't. With how weak reives are, anything besides WSD neck seems blatantly wrong nowadays. But, they are weak enough that you don't really miss it anyway so there's that.

Do kick attacks grant tp?
I never really payed close enough attention
Skillchain bonus only applies to a second ws not the first ws correct?
I can't stack it on asuran as a burner starter ws and have a bigger skill chain with raging/howling/dk?
Also I just thought of this one... Could I load it up with store tp and see a significant return in said tp?
I never thought about that concept
By Dodik 2025-07-25 09:50:40
Generally monk's delay is too low for storetp to do much.
Yes, kick attacks are regular attacks, use weapon delay and give same tp as other attacks.

Do the double kicks do any noticable increases?
Also I phrased that last question too quickly
If I were to load up a weapon skill with stp can the returns be significant?
Remember when people used the relic knuckles to have inf tp
Skillchain bonus have any effect on the first weapon skill?

Not really. There is a stat for this already called "Save TP", but it's really only helpful if you have Miser's Roll. I don't think adding excessive amounts of STP to your WS set makes any meaningful impact on your speed to the next WS
Skillchain bonus have any effect on the first weapon skill?
No, it has to be on the WS that creates the SC, not opens it.

No, and also it will drop your WSD so it's highly impractical.
Skillchain bonus have any effect on the first weapon skill?
No, and it's generally a quite bad stat for the closing WS also, since it's rarely (never?) available without costing yourself a better stat, like MA/Crit rate/Crit dmg/TP bonus/Atk/WSD, which would increase your WSD. Since SCD is based on WSD...losing WSD is essentially losing SCD, while also losing WSD. It "double dips", if you will.

I was more looking for possibilities of how I could get more use out of asuran as a throw away starter ws
Maybe the 8 hits would see more than another type of ws was the thought process
Or something like one inch punch to just continue a off brand sc

You could start the fight with karambit then swap weapons! Thats a big damage boost. (if using godhands, not vere)
If you loaded it up with stp in every slot in an attempt to juice up the second ws instead, it might do something. A little something.
And Fotia pieces for a shot at the procs.

So when sending and receiving items from Dbox I've had an issue.
I recently sent a newbie 8 spell scrolls, just to grease the wheels for them.
Needed to send something else to a mule, and they haven't logged in/collected the scrolls yet, so I cancelled a send.
The scroll seemingly disappeared completely instead of going back in my inventory? Also now I can't send the newbie anything else?
What's the deal?

Is the scroll still in your outgoing delivery? It might just be sitting there in limbo.
By Dodik 2025-07-26 01:37:19
After you cancel a sent item you need to click cancel again on it to get it back from the dbox queue.
First cancel turns item from greyed out to solid color. Next cancel brings it to your inventory.

I thought it would come back into my inventory like normal, but it vanished. It's not sitting ungreyed in sent. The other 6 scrolls are, and they're greyed. It's 6 because I tried cancelling another one, and it vanished too. Never had something like this happen before.
When I type in their character name again to try and send freshly bought scrolls, it moves the cursor into the 8 sendable slots, but doesn't allow me to put anything in the two blank slots.
All it seems to let me do is cancel the sending, but like I said, the scrolls just vanish. They don't come in my inventory and they aren't in the out box anymore.

I've never seen that happen. The box is now empty you say but you can't put anything in there?
If you open your sent dbox, click up, go to the empty spot that you can't sent items from and try to cancel it, what happens? This is without entering any name in the box.
Do you get the "nope" sound effect?

They deleted the character(to make a new one on Asura) or panic transferred(to Asura), depending how much progress they have.
The server stores both the outgoing data with your account data and the incoming data with theirs. To pull it out of the sender's box, they have to successfully delete the data from the recipient's box. If the recipient's box no longer exists, there's nothing you could've done to get the scrolls back.

So kill Gurfurlur the Menacing while the Trolls are Advancing? Huh. Never woulda thought to get drops from that.

Sounds like you have to kill him in Halvung? The actual popped NM.

They added the bcnm for it, the adequate level may not exist yet. Beiseged is going to go much higher.
But no one has bothered to do them (or they didn't add them yet, its hard to keep track when its something you couldn't care less about)

The original nm like the other 3 have a unique piece of equipment same image that were recently updated
Need to get to a special part of each map and you can fight them.
The mercenary ring was his drop
If I recall correctly one time we went to get the candy back wow I can't spell that word at all
And it was a long time ago but I believe it triggered a bc not the normal entry you would do as prep for a mythic
