Did you find out about spiritmaster fly thing? I know it's hard to keep track with all these questions

[Fleiva]

Yes, summons don't fly at this moment.

[Bretta]

hey i was just wondering, but how exactly are the chanters in the game so far? are they more like the prophet of L2 or more along the lines of a paladin in WoW? basically are they just a buffbot class or does it seem as though they have an actual use in pvp/pve?

[Fleiva]

It was already adressed Bretta, chanters are a bit of everything, being the best at nothing.

I'd say it, in L2 terms, more like C3 or C4 overlords, with a decent heal, a decent damage and some usefull buffs, melee based with some magic skills.

Earlier on a mention of "mission type quests" cought my eye, does that imply that there are different types of quests? If so could you please elaborate?

[Shilenne]

Not gonna answer anything in case I misunderstood. Thanks.

1) Mission quests -> Lore/class related quests. It's usually a series of quest, and you don't get the XP until you're done the entire series. The reward is usually better than normal quests, and they usually give out gear rewards as well. These quests appear as yellow triangles ;p

2) Quests -> from NPC. Just random quests like in most games, kill xxx of this, gather xxx of that. No quest chain involved, it's just 1 objective and you get your xp and reward.

3) Profession related quests given from players. Unlike WoW where you craft or sell your services on trade chat, sometimes ppl will post that they want something made in the bulletin, and you can accept it (like a quest, it'll go into your quest log under the third tab) and once you have it complete it's like an auto transaction, they pay you automatically and they get what they want automatically. Just a more efficient system.


Anyways Iris might be able to elaborate on that later, I'm late for class lol

Wait wait wait

Can you develope a bit more that third point? What kind of missions? and is everything automatic?

Wow that's awesome... Just curious to see what happens when somebody completes a high-profile order a second before you do... I see a lot of chewed-through keyboards

Well maybe once you accept it, it gets taken down from the bulletin, so no one else will take it as a quest. Then it would have to expire after a fairly short period of time though, so if someone didn't do it quickly, it would be open for someone else to do.

Sounds pretty much like a system to commision crafters to make stuff for you, which I think is pretty neat .

[Sovrath]

Hey, thanks to you both for answering these questions. I'm surprised no one has asked this as of yet (Or I haven't seen it) but can you elaborate more on the pvp system? Both in the Abyss and when one is not in the abyss?

Things like "how often do the portals between both sides open? How long? Are they always in the same place? Anything about the sieges in the abyss?

Again, thanks for your answers!

perhaps its a generic quest type, in that multiple people can accept "the order" at the same time... i mean, its not as if we'll see a change in the NPCs items, etc. once an order is finished... so, why cant 2,3, 50 people all be doing the same quest for the NPC?

its just like the kill X quests, except this particular quest has you using crafting skills, as opposed to combat skills...

No, because he said it's a quest given by a player, who probably won't want to buy 50 of the thing he's asking for.
