I wonder if my ticket will suffice.

hahaha, honestly I noticed something is weird about max HP cards before but I didn't bother confirming my theory since most of them had negligible effects. I know some people who had been using some of those cards but didn't notice it either. Today I tested it and I can confirm that every card that gives raw MAX HP bonus in the server gives 2x their stated bonus. That being said, fabre card gives 20k HP instead of 10k, arch angeling gives 60k HP instead of 30k, succubus card gives 200k HP and so Evil Tree card gives 300k HP. Now I believe there's nothing wrong with the 2x bonus, it's just that most players aren't aware about it so they neglect it too. And some might still think it's useless. Regardless, I don't know if it will get nerfed or there will only be a correction on item description. The correction on description is preferable. Aan suggested a 400k-500k bonus HP and I am sure he is not aware about the 2x bonus, but in my honest opinion the current effect of 300k HP bonus is good enough if you know where to use it and if you at least tried it. The Decorated Evil Tree card is designed for low vit build, while most players seeks balance build, there are people who uses a more adjustable build and that build is only attainable using succubus card and Decorated Evil Tree Card. This is a 1 base vit stat warlock and I got 1m HP using this build. You will only need 2 consumables if you want to reach 2m HP with same build and stat. Although unless you are rich I doubt you can use it as a daily build. MAX HP Card works in some build better than tao gunka for these 2 reasons: Tao Gunka is highly dependent on MAX HP which depends mostly on players vit. Evil Tree Card simply boost your max HP regardless of your vit. In short Evil tree is better for low vit build. Tao Gunka boosted HP can no longer be boosted while Evil Tree card max HP can be boosted further by other HP% bonuses of cards , gears and consumables. It means with magnetite 15% you got 45k more HP from evil tree card, then another 20% from sleipnir so 60k HP etc etc. In fact without that armor my warlock HP only have 400k+ hp.. it boosted my HP by extra 600k+ because of other HP boosting stuffs I am wearing.

can be soloed if you will dual a tanker and a hitter. Time consuming but possible.

need to lower your damage, the higher your damage the harder it is to balance their HP.

My team. Cried in corner. "We will get her next time.."

Fun fact to those who think 96% damage is OP (SMH), I saw players talking about too much damage etc earlier. Most of the weapons already have 95% damage to demi human before. ex. are the instruments and spears, they just balance it out to other weapons (some weapons have lower bonuses before because the slotted weapons available for their class normally only has 1-2 slots like the guns). The normal card combo in 4 slotted weapon gives more than 96% damage to demi human, that is excluding thanatos card. Buying a glorious weapon is like having a weapon with 4 damage cards slotted on it. The extra downside of these weapons though is the difficulty to find a good donation combination. Too long to explain but it's because most of our donation gears have similar demi human modifier like rare wings that are better combined with other modifer. The slaughter effect damage bonus can cover for it but that's why I don't think it doesn't give too much damage. Perhaps the lucky one are those who can combine it with range wings. Anyway the guns have good stats but only 2 skills have decent damage on Rebellion arsenals atm, they need to be boosted. Tracking tickles. Dragon Tail has slightly long CD. Add a chance of auto casting Level 2 Critical Wound when using skill Mammonite? change to CT no one uses mammonite Add a chance of auto casting Level 2 Critical Wound when attacking with Pierce skill ? Spiral

It's because most equipment are "hydra based/increase demi human damage" script. The formula is continuous, it doesn't stop with the weapon cards. You can count each demi human bonus in wings and headgear like a hydra card (eg. Rare wings ). On the other hand range wings have similar script with every other range bonus cards like tyrant. That being said it is also better to use gears with different damage modifiers and avoid stacking too much similar modifier whenever you can.

You can also visit @go 2 (geffen), you can get better guidance there since most of the players there are newbie mixed with some veterans. Goodluck and I hope you enjoy your stay in the server.

you can also get 1 by constantly joining battleground and winning 20x. You'll be rewarded with death coupon. A death coupon is tradeable and has a value worth around 3-4b. Although to be honest I am thinking of suggesting adding a freebies account bound death weapon coupon that newbies can claim as I see death weapon as one of the best starting weapon for players now.

Maybe change the reward to combat coins and make it every 2-3 hours. Adding more zeny bag in the server will just further ruin the market prices of items. It's 36b zeny bags added in the server everyday and it rotates in the server. NPCs don't absorb this zeny added in the server everyday, it will just keep on piling up. We should aim in lowering the prices of some items in the server, to make it a little affordable for new players, not only for donators and old players with tons of b bags stored in their storage. Giving combat coins will help lower the price of some combat items in long run, and perhaps will motivate more the PVP enthusiast to actually PVP. 1st: 2 combat coins 2nd:1 combat coins 3rd: 1 donation token

I honestly doubt veterans would get motivated to PVP just because they can earn rewards for dying now. But with the donation token for 100 Heroic coins, they'll probably get motivated to go back for a while in PVP and grab the opportunity.

I am sorry to be negative, I am not against participation reward in fact I want participation reward too for new players. But isn't getting rewarded for dying in PVP is going backward? Now anyone can create novices, ungeared 3rd character and pretend to be actually participating in HHH while suiciding. Surely we got rules regarding PVP farming, but can GM really ban players who can pretend to be helpless in PVP? Abuser can even login an alt account in a different IP and pretend to be a new player. Again I am not trying to be totally negative. I like the idea of participation reward, but getting rewarded for dying is really questionable. Not to mention that we got tradable rewards from Heroic coins. Why can't we just have similar rewarding scheme where players are rewarded for staying alive in the map, and then actually help the newbies get geared so they can actually compete instead of asking them to feed the veterans? On another note, this promotes more high output damage builds or suicide build for veterans which is already bad in our server. There's too many item that boost damage in our server and most veterans disregard their survivability because of our existing system where everything is about getting kills. Now not only you can kamikaze build, you'll also get rewarded for using it. Another thing is, getting rewarded for dying doesn't motivate newbies that much, in fact if it does, BG should be always packed with newbies but being with a lot of newbies I realized that a lot don't simply wanna get bullied. Being with a guild of 80% returner set user, they rather farm in PVE and get themselves geared so they can actually PVP instead of going to BG . So I doubt rewarding them to get bullied will bring PVP activity back. I'd rather suggest to think outside of the box and make this newbies be closely capable of competing. Ex. Utilize the siege sets that doesn't stack with most donation headgears, use it as a freebies. At least it will make them tanky and capable of making cheaper builds. Isn't that why IRO implement that thing. Regardless thank you for being so generous with the rewards. It's only my opinion about the system and I am glad you are trying to make the PVP alive.

the 4 pre requisite are only "pre requisite" quests for the elite stone quest. Even if you finished those you still need to do 1 of the stone quest to get your first elite weapon. You need to finish all 4 pre requisite and collect the 6 stones to get your 2nd weapon. Check the ffg blog. https://palk.dreamwidth.org/659.html
