Kamael-[ Characteristics, Exclusive Weapons ]

A new race, Kamael, has been added. Kamael characters start out on the Isle of Souls, which is located to the west of the Dark Elven Village. A Kamael Tutorial has also been added to the game.

Characteristics

The Kamael are a new dark-attributed race. Because of their dark nature, healing magic is less effective when used on them.

The Kamael require souls to perform most of their attack skills. Once they learn the Soul Mastery skill at level 5, Kamael are able absorb souls automatically while hunting monsters, every time they earn a certain amount of experience. They can also sacrifice some of their own HP or use skills to recharge souls.

Collected souls are displayed on the Buff/De-buff Status Bar, and they last for 10 minutes from the last time a soul was absorbed.

The Kamael cannot sub any other race’s classes; conversely, no other races may sub Kamael classes either.

When a Kamael character reaches level 75 on their first and second subclasses, one of two hidden third sub-classes will become available (Inspector and Judicator).

Kamael subclass info is available from the Kamael Grandmaster NPC in Giran, Aden, and Rune Township.

Classes

Male Kamael

Male Kamael Solder -> Trooper (1st) -> Berserker (2nd) -> Doombringer (3rd)

Male Kamael Solder -> Trooper (1st) -> Soul Breaker (2nd) -> Soul Hound (3rd)

Female Kamael

Female Kamael Solder -> Warder (1st) -> Soul Breaker (2nd) -> Soul Hound (3rd)

Female Kamael Solder -> Warder (1st) -> Arbalester (2nd) -> Trickster (3rd)

Kamael-Exclusive Weapon

The Kamael are capable of converting existing weapons into Kamael-exclusive weapons (Ancient Sword, Rapier, and Crossbow) using their unique weapon conversion skill.

Kamael-exclusive weapons can be converted from weapons that are D-grade or higher, and the weapons can be traded or dropped.

Not all weapons can be converted; only the following weapons can be converted into Kamael-exclusive weapons:

Two-handed Sword <--> Ancient Sword
One-handed Sword <--> Rapier
Bow <--> Crossbow (Bow-gun)

The Kamael skill that allows for weapon conversion is available after the first class transfer. The weapon conversion skill will only work on the weapon you currently have equipped.

When a weapon is converted, its enchant value, special abilities, and elemental attributes remain the same; however, augmented weapons cannot be converted.

A converted weapon can be enchanted and bestowed with special abilities, augments, or elemental attributes.

A Kamael-exclusive weapon can be converted back to its original form as long as it has not been augmented. It will retain all of its enchant values, special abilities, and attributes.

Raid Boss Tactics From WarCry network

Raid Tank Group Setup

The raid tank group is the most important group to put together well. If it's not, no matter the number of nukers you have, you're all going to die. My personal favorite setup is a tank, two Bishops, two Shillien Elders, two Elven Elders, a Swordsinger, and a Warcryer. With this setup, you have plenty of MP regen for the Bishops (your main healer) and rechargers for the tank. Plus, you have two people with a 30% heal, and now in Chronicle 4, Balance Life. When the raid boss does 300-1000 damage a hit to a tank AFTER the shield block (damage depending on your level and level of the boss, of course) several 30% heals are very important. Alternatively, you could swap out one of the rechargers for a Bladedancer for Dance of Concentration. Alternatively, swap out one of the healers for another tank. At the very bare minimum, I would recommend two Bishops and two rechargers on the healer side. A Swordsinger is NOT optional: Song of Earth, Warding, and (at higher levels) Vitality are a must. Because the 30% heal is so important for raids, having a tank with the most HP is usually more useful than one with a slightly better armor set.

A tank, even with Ultimate Defense and Swordsinger buffs, should always max out at about 17 buffs. This is due to many raid boss' lovely desire to debuff everyone near it. If even one or two of the tank's buffs roll off, everyone is in trouble. Keeping three spots for safety pretty much guarantees the buffs won't roll off.

For tank buffs, give only defensive buffs and haste. If the tank has to be smacking on the mob, you've already failed the raid. Try to keep the tank at under 12 buffs before you start. Shield, Majesty, Magic Defense, Arrow Deflect (if the mob has archer minions), a damage-reflection buff, Bless Shield, Advanced Block, Evasion (every little bit helps, even more so on Elves), Haste, Prayer (the higher the better), Body of Avatar/Bless the Body, and Bless the Soul (for more hates, if you have room) are all very important. Alternatively, Resist Stun, Resist Poison, or Mental Shield could be added based on the mob. The low number of starting buffs is important because the tank is going to need 1 more spot for Ultimate Defense, three to four more for songs and 1 more for a dance, sometimes.

For songs and dances, the songs Warding, Earth, and Vitality should be at the top of your list. Song of Revenge, coupled with a reflect damage buff, helps immensely in maintaining aggro on the raid boss. Alternatively, Dance of Concentration helps your healer party recharge and cast their heals faster.

Personally, I like the Warcryer for my tank group buffer. This is because in raids where the raid boss has an AoE cancel, I can ensure that everyone in the tank party has buffs within about three seconds of the raid boss canceling, ensuring the raid’s survival. Their Chant of Life is immensely useful for countering poisons and bleeds the boss might put on the tank, and gives the healers a moment or two to cure the tank’s debuffs.

During The Raid

One of the biggest problems with raids is a person accidentally aggroing the raid boss before the raid starts. If someone accidentally hits the boss, the boss will kill every person in that party before it stops again. To ensure that doesn’t happen, make sure that no one targets the boss until it’s actually time to go.

Buffing should be done in unison. Many high level alliances do this anyway, but it’s extremely important for raids. Each party should rebuff right before the raid starts. That way, one party doesn’t start loosing buffs mid-fight, and reduce the raid overall damage output for too long--the time it takes a Prophet to rebuff a party can take about the same time a raid needs to kill a boss!

The lead tank should be coordinating with the alliance leaders and the Damage Dealing (DD) groups. The alliance leader should be managing the raid, but the tank is the one that should be calling the shots of when to start. If a DD group isn't perfectly ready when the raid starts, the raid is still recoverable. If a tank group isn't ready, the raid will be a disaster. The tank himself should count down for the 'go'. I use the same general form of starting for each boss I go to. First, I say out loud, in a voice-chat program, and in raid party chat "EVERYONE GOES ON MY COUNT". I count down slowly from 5, and everyone goes on "Go". On 5, the utility song/dance (if any) goes up, on 4, Song of Vitality goes up, on 3, Song of Earth, and on 2, Song of Warding. On 1, I Ultimate Defense (occasionally optional) and Hate the mob to me. Then, I say "GO", for everyone starts attacking. This tactic has a few advantages: you get extra hate on all the mobs before anyone even starts hitting it, your Swordsinger knows what dances to do when, and the thin line between death and reward has complete control over the situation.

How to hate is important. For single bosses, single target hate will keep the boss on you. However, bosses with minions behave like group mobs: hating the minions attracts the leader, and attacking the leader attracts the minions. Starting with a single hate and an AoE hate will pull the mobs to you, and then keep them on you. AoE hating builds a little more hate overall while the raid boss minions are around, but consumes much more mana over time. Conserve your AoE hates, and experiment with your timing. Make sure that if there are ranged minions, they stay in your hate radius. Nothing causes more trouble than a rogue archer minion that decides the squishies are more fun to attack than you.

Positioning is essential in raid tanking. For Dark Avengers and lower level tanks of all kinds, you will want to ensure that the raid boss and all its minions are in front of you, or you won’t be able to shield block. Use the terrain to your advantage: pull up to a wall or a corner to ensure that the raid boss and his minions will be in front of you. With the addition of buffs in Chronicle 4 that increase critical hit damage and chance when behind, make sure the rest of your raid is always facing the back of the raid boss to significantly improve the damage the raid can do. Make sure that all the minions are hated, and continue to be in your hate range.

When you are doing multiple raids at once and you’re the only tank, I recommend saving Ultimate Defense for bosses that have minions. If a raid boss has minions, it generally has a weaker attack than if it’s a solo raid boss, and makes up for it with many extra attacks. Alliance leaders should make sure to have people kill all the minions first, and then go after the Boss. If you’ve got a decent raid party, all or most of the minions should be dead before Ultimate Defense fades. If you’re fighting a solo boss, and you expect to rely on Ultimate Defense to survive the boss, you may be fighting something too high for your raid.

The tank should be doing nothing but hating the raid boss the entire time. As such, he must be kept recharged by the Elf and Dark Elf healers in his party. His job is to keep the boss on him, and nothing more. Discovering a good timing between hates that keeps the boss on you (quick re-hate time) and conserving mana (long re-hate time) is one of the biggest challenges to the inexperienced tank. If you hate too often, you’ll run out of mana, but if you don’t hate enough, someone (or multiple people) in the raid party will die. Rechargers, make sure the tank always has mana. Even a three or four second lack of MP is enough for a nuker to draw agro and get killed.

Properly buffed, your tank will have between 6000 and 12000 HP, depending on tattoos, songs, and set bonuses. Make sure that you work out among the healers who will heal when. It’s OKAY for the tank to not be at full health. Keeping him at around 50-70% HP means he’ll have about a 4500-7000 reserve. If you’re really into a risky proposition, you can attempt to keep the tank at about 30% health, allowing Final Fortress to dramatically increase the tank’s P. Def. The tank should report to his healers about how much he’s being hit for, and the healers should know how much they heal the tank for. If the tank is decently high, and has good Elven Elder shield block buffs, he’ll be blocking every hit, and taking between 300 and 1000 damage a hit from the raid boss or minions. If a raid is taking a long time, or you have a smaller raid, how the healers conserve their mana while healing will be the difference between success and alliance wipe.

Sometimes, “it” hits the fan. The raid boss gets a lucky hit off, one of the healers disconnects, the nukers run out of mana, or the tank dies. How you recover from this is very important to the success (or even just survival) of the raid. If your tank dies, the first obvious solution is your backup tank to start using hate on the boss. It may take quite a bit of hate to get the boss to attack him, but if the tank is persistent, he will get the boss back. If the tank no longer has mana to hate, the boss will go on other people very shortly. Make sure to announce this, and have the nukers attempt to slow the raid boss, allowing people time to get away.

If the damage dealers are all out of mana and there’s no hope in sight of defeating the boss, the tank can sacrifice himself for the raid. The tank (and perhaps a healer) if timed right can stay live long enough for everyone to fall out of combat, allowing them to log out to loose aggro from the Boss. The tank group should inform the leaders of the raid when the tank party’s mana is getting low, or loss of aggro is imminent. Knowing when to give up gracefully will save lots of people experience, time, and perhaps, gear.

Gear

For human tanks, raid tanking is generally more about the HP and shield blocking ability, not the fraction of extra damage you can absorb from a hit. For SKs and TKs, additional HP is very important, but your extra P. Def you gain from Guard Stance and having the highest P. Def you can muster is vital to make up for your lower base CON. For 52+ raids, the primary raid tank armor is the Doom Set with its +3 CON, +HP bonus, and shield blocking bonus. The extra 24% shield block chance means with proper buffs, every tank will never fail a shield block. Shield blocks are critical raid tanking, allowing him to deflect a significantly higher portion of the damage than he would otherwise. Dark Crystal or Nightmare might be okay, but neither gives as good shield blocking rate increase or static HP bonuses. I wouldn't recommend wearing anything less than top B grade for 55+ raid bosses. For lower level ones, the Full Plate set will work for 40+ raid bosses, and a Brigandine set for 20+ raid bosses should suffice.

Which Tank to Choose?

You have two tanks, standing next to each other, and both are eager to take on the Big Nasty White Elpy King standing beside you. Who should you choose?

First, consider levels. All tanks will work for most raid bosses, as long as they are close in levels and have decent gear, but some are better suited for certain bosses than others. A higher level tank will work better than a lower level tank in almost every situation. Next, consider the tank’s tattoos. If a tank has gone +CON, that tank will be much more useful than someone who doesn’t have tattoos or (much worse!) gone -CON. Next, consider raid boss itself. If the boss has stuns, a human tank with a high base CON will help the most. If the boss has many minions, a tank with 360 degree shield blocking may be your best choice. Finally, consider the person behind the tank. A tank’s job is a rough one in Lineage II, and for many tanks, facing a raid boss or getting a chance to sacrifice themselves in the pursuit of Antharas is one of their biggest goals. Most of the time if the tank is in the level range of the boss, you’ll be fine. If they’ve been patient, had some experience watching other tanks, and they’re ready to face the dangers, have them go for it!

C-5 Q&A Fresh of the press

Found this while surfing the fourms. New Skills In the Talks for Clan LEADER giving specific rights.

I woke up an hour earlier than I needed to this morning to translate C5 info, only to find that there wasn't much to translate =_=
It seems that NC's doing a mini-tour of Korea, holding conferences in a bunch of cities and will be revealing a little bit at a time at each city.

In anycase, here's what they revealed at the first conference in Pusan.

Chronicle 5 Goals Presentation
Presenter: NC Soft Studio E&G Head of Production - Han Jaehyuk

Greater Support for Soloing
According to (Korean) player demand, various game elements will be added to allow for easier soloing with less downtime.
Additions to Clan System
Recognizing that clan-based politics is one of Lineage2's greatest attractions, much more will be added to clan functionality. Some of these include:
- Clan Skills
- Clan Items
- Clan Ranks: Count, Baron, Knight etc.
  This clan rank system will be a part of a greater hierarchy of Lord/Lady ,King/Queen, Emperor/Empress and this will form the basis of territorial wars and national wars which will be added in the future.
New Territory
- The space between Dwarf town and Orc town will be filled, finishing the Elmore lands.
- A new dungeon for the highest level players will be added
- Conquer-type Raids added. These raids will require you to fight subservient mobs in order to see the raid boss. (note: isn't this 4 sepulchers?)
- New mobs with increased AI
Blue marks the area where the new area will be located
Greater Balance between classes
Elimination of PvP superclass. The classes will be counterbalanced in a RockPaperScissor way. Certain classes will be stronger against some classes over others. (note: necros)
Raid Boss Frintessa
The main Raid Boss of C5. Frintessa is the illfated prince of the empire. His main weapon is a giant organ (musical kind ^.~) which summons mobs. Players will have to determine the proper tactics based on the music he plays. (note: lol)
Frintessa can be expected to be more difficult than any of the current Raid Bosses.

Area where Frintessa will spawn.

Chronicle 5 Q&A

Q: How will the bot problem be solved
A: Bots are continuously being dealt with already. We compile a banlist every few weeks. Better alert methods of sensing 3rd program use is being looked into.
Q: Any plans to change the clan war system?
A: Greater protection for Clans lvl3 and under. Higher clan levels (past lvl5) will be introduced in C5 and rewards will be added to clan wars.
Q: Plans to fix Olympiad explot issues?
A: There will be a patch soon to fix the various exploits.
Q: Bot/Farmer raid parties are a huge issue, especially for quest raid bosses. What are your plans for this?
A: Other than the continued effort to clean out bots, raid mobs will be smarter and harder to take down using bots. (note: I don't believe)
Q: Too many PKers running around thanks to Sin Eater. Comments?
A: We don't think this is a serious issue but we'll look into it.
Q: Gatehopping / peacezone hopping issues, specifically the north bridge in Giran. Comments?
A: We've been thinking of ways to stop gatehopping but we haven't come up with anything. We'll continue to investigate.
Q: Any changes to the rare boss jewllery stats? I.E. B Grade Ant Queen gives +2 Accuracy Jewellery, wheras the A Grade Core ring gives +1 accuracy.
A: No changes are planned. New rare item will be added with the new raid boss.
Q: Various difficulties in raiding, such as sharing chat and ninjalooters. What's being done?
A: We're gonna make it so the raid channel is easier to use, and make drops exclusive to those in the raid channel.
Q: The higher level soul crystals are too hard to get. Comments?
A: We'll make them easier to get over time.
Q: Any plans on a vendor system that lets you sell items offline?
A: Giran will probably explode if we tried to do this -_-. We've looked at an auction system but we can't ignore the plus sides of player-to-player vending and its effect on economics. No changes planned in this area atm.
Q: Any news on combining the less populated servers?
A: We've done polls on this subject and the result was inconclusive. There's too many issues surrounding castle and clanhall ownership etc. and the players couldn't come to an agreement so the idea's been abandoned. (note: this is applicable to korean servers only)

< Return to top of page >

Quest that must be completed in order to raise clan level to lvl 5. Upon meeting Sir Gustaf Athebaldt in the town of Oren, he expresses his desire to aid the young and courageous leaders for the future of the kingdom. He promises to give you the 'Proof of Expectation,' which is needed when expanding the clan's powers and influences should you consent to joining forces with him. Sir Athebaldt asks you to aid him in preparing for the attack against the green dragon Antharas, and tells you to go and meet Marvin in Giran Castle Town.

Quest Guide
You must be the leader of a level 4 clan in order to activate this quest. The reward is an item required to raise your clan to level 5. While there is no level requirement for this quest, you should be at least level 50 to easily complete the quest since the leader will be needing last hit on some level 60+ monsters. Talk to Sir Gustaf Altebalt in the Southeast corner Oren Castle Town.

Go to Giran and talk to Martien, who is near the Northeast exit. He will ask you to collect Thunder Wyrm eggs, Drake eggs, Blitz Wyrm eggs, and Mist Drake eggs (10 of each).

< Return to top of page >
To obtain the eggs you must get last hit on Thunder Wyrms and Drake to obtain their eggs. They are located to the west of the DV teleport spot. While you can obtain the Mist Drake and Blitz Wyrm eggs from normal Drakes as well it is much faster if you speak with the corpses of the Bounty Hunters previously sent on this mission. Besides the rewards, which are shown below, they will also spawn the Quest Monster Blitz Wyrms, which you can kill to obtain the Blitz Wyrm eggs.

After collecting all of the quest items you should have 10 of each egg and the Brooch of the Magpie, which you should have obtained from the corpse of Kurtz. These items all appear in your normal, not quest, inventory.

Bring the brooch to Head Blacksmith Klusto near the West exit of Giran to exchange the Brooch of the Magpie for A

Black Anvil Coin

Bring the eggs back to Martien.

Return to Sir Gustaf Altebalt in Oren, who will send you to Balthazar, a Dwarf standing outside of the Blacksmith in Hunter's Village. He will tell you to hunt Lesser Giant Soldiers and Lesser Giant Scouts in Giant's Cave to obtain 10 Titan's Power stones and 10 Nebulite Crystals. He will also exchange the Black Anvil Coin for the Titan's Power stone recipe, which a dwarf must register to craft the Titan's Power stones. You obtain Broken Titan's Power stones and you must craft them into Titan's Power stone. The recipe is level 2 and has a success rate of 25%.

Once you have 10 Titan's Powerstones and 10 Nebulite Crystals, return to Balthazar in Hunter's Village.

Return to Sir Gustaf Altebalt in Oren, who will send you to Sir Eric Rodemai in Aden Castle Town, who will send you to Witch Cleo, who is found near the bridge to the Cemetery,

Some NPCs will pop up and give you a riddle. Return to Sir Eric Rodemai to decipher the riddle.

Go to the East end of the Cemetery and hunt Grave Keepers. You need last hit to occasionally get a Quest Monster Grave Keymaster to spawn. From these you will obtain Imperial Keys. You need 6 of them.

< Return to top of page >

Once you have six Imperial Keys, you must go to the West End of the Cemetery and kill the Imperial Grave Keeper. While fighting the Keeper, Imperial Slaves will spawn.

In addition, everyone around the GraveKeeper will be teleported to a different cemetery twice. The location you get ported to is shown below:

When you get teleported, just run back until you stop getting teleported (it should only happen twice). The clan leader needs to get last hit on the Imperial GraveKeeper in order to make the Imperial Coffer spawn. Use the 6 Imperial Keys to open it and obtain the Scepter of Judgment.

After killing the GraveKeeper an imperial coffer will spawn if the clan leader got last hit. The Clan leader must have 6 keys to open the coffer to obtain the Scepter of Judgment.

Return the Scepter to Sir Eric Rodemai in Aden and then return to Sir Gustaf Altebalt in Oren to obtain the Proof of Aspiration and 250k SP.

To raise your clan to level 5, take the Proof of Aspiration to any Grandmaster and you can pay the Proof of Aspiration and 3.5 million SP.

Great way to make Adena

Re: http://lineage2.stratics.com/content/features/manorsystem/ General Overview Each castle can choose to sell seeds to other players via the Manor Managers in each town. Players can buy the seeds, plant them in mobs, harvest crops from dead mobs and then sell the crops back to the Manor Manager. The rewards for selling the crops back vary by seed and then the settings the castle lord chooses in the type of reward and the amount. The castle lord can make full items such as enchant scrolls from the harvested crops. That’s it in a nutshell. If you want all the gory details, read on. Production and Buyback limitations Seed production and Crop buyback reset everyday at 8PM PST. There are caps on the amount of seeds produced (for each type) and the amount crops bought back (for each type). Lords may only adjust the amount of seeds produced and amount of crops bought back the next day between 8PM PST and 8AM PST. Changes you make during this time will go into effect at 8PM PST. Castle Lord Seed Production You must buy the seeds from the castle in order to sell them at the manor manager. Then you set the seed sell price per seed for each seed type, which is the price the farmers will pay from the manor manager for that seed type. When setting the seeds' sale price, you cannot set the price at 60% or less, or 1000% or more of the seeds' base price (what you pay the manor manager for them). You also set the quantity of each seed type to be sold. In order for seed production to occur (to sell seeds to farmers via the manor manager NPC) you must have enough adena in the castle vault to purchase all of the seeds you want to produce. If you do not sell the seeds at the end of the day (8PM PST), those seeds are gone and you do not regain the adena you spent producing them. In addition, you must be selling seeds in order to buyback the crops. Harvested Crop Buyback You set the price you want to pay to purchase the harvested crop, as well as the quantity of each of each harvested crop type. When setting the crop's compensation price, you cannot set the price at 60% or less, or 1000% or more of the crop's compensation price. The seed and item compensation prices may be viewed by speaking with the particular castle's Grand Chamberlain. In order for seeds to be produced or to buyback harvested crops, you MUST have enough adena in your vault to cover the TOTAL amount buyback for all of your harvested crop settings. This adena is deducted at 8PM PST at the start of the crop-day. If you do NOT use all of that adena (you didn't buy back the amount of crops you set to buyback) then whatever funds are leftover go back into the castle vault. You do not lose that money. You set the reward to either Type I or Type II, which determines which kind of reward the crop gives to the farmers who turn them in (see below) Crop Maturation When setting up your matured crop buyback, remember that not only do crops take a day to mature, but also the manor NPC keeps 10% of the crops. Once people sell crops back to the manor manager, the next crop day, the mature crops will appear in your clan warehouse. So if somebody sells you 1000 crops on Monday before the manor system reset, Tuesday after the reset you will have 900 mature crops in your clan warehouse. Take the mature crops to the castle blacksmith and make whatever items you want. In addition to using the crops, there is of course, a blacksmith fee in adena that varies depending on the item you are making. And remember, if you do not have enough adena in your vault to cover EVERYTHING (all seed purchases and crop buyback), then NOTHING will be produced or bought. Also, if you don’t keep your farmers happy with the rates and types you’re setting, then they won’t buy your seeds and you won’t be able to produce any items. So do the right thing and set your prices and types to make it profitable for the farmers and not just yourself. Farmers Seed Purchase Seed sales reset everyday at 8PM PST. Once the seeds are sold out, they will not restock until the next day at 8PM. The Castle Lord can choose to stop selling or increase the amount of seeds produced on any given day. Seeds have a level range (10 levels) which you can view by clicking on the seed, as shown below. Besides buying the seeds, you will also need to buy a harvester from the manor NPC. < Return to top of page >



For 100% crop harvesting rate, you, the seed, and the mob you are harvesting must all be within that range. Otherwise, your plantation and harvest can fail. Farming To farm you simply target a mob and click on the seed you want to plant. You will get a system message of either planting failed or planting succeeded.

You CAN replant the same mob if you failed the first time (although there is no timer on the seed icon). Once you kill the mob, simply click on the harvester and it will say either "harvest failed" or "earned [Crop Type]." Seeds MUST be used in the areas in which you bought them (Giran seeds can only be planted in Giran area mobs). However, the crops you harvest may be sold to ANY manor manager providing that castle's Lord set the NPC to purchase that crop type (You can farm sea codrans in Oren and sell them to the manor npc in Heine, providing the Heine lord set the NPC to purchase sea codrans). In addition, if you plant the seeds in mobs that are yellow or red to you then you will have a chance to harvest multiple crops from one seed. The Catch Mobs planted with normal seeds only drop adena, they do not drop anything else. If you use alternative seeds (which cost more and fail more) then the mobs do still drop items while seeding and harvesting. The Payoff The payoff depends on your castle lord. First of all, you do not get ANY adena when turning in crops to the manor manager. Instead you get raw materials of worth equivalent to the buyback price the castle lord set and the type of reward. The type of raw materials for each reward level (type I or type II) vary by seed type as well. Here is a sample of what the buyback window looks like and the reward for these crops.

To view the list of rewards, talk to the manor NPC, choose the last option to receive more information and then click on the "rewards" link in the NPC text. You should see the following dialogue box:

As a farmer, it may be important to remember that the castle lord may NOT be buying back the seed types in the same quantity everyday. S/He can change it daily. Farmers may view the next day's buyback between 8AM and 8PM PST. There is also a maximum amount the lords can set to produce and buyback, so don't expect to be able to farm 10k seeds in a week and sell them all back at once. You HAVE to sell them back over several days. In addition, you can view the current condition of the crop purchase for both regular and alternative seeds (yes, they are bought back separately as well, but they do have the same rewards) for EVERY castle from ANY manor NPC. So you can shop around and see which castle has the best exchange rates and how many the castle is still buying without needed to teleport all over the map.

QUEST SUMMARY

< Return to top of section > < Return to top of page >

Go to the Hunters' Village and find Warehouse Keeper Sorint to start the quest. He wants to get the "Kaldis' Gold Dragon" coin and will send you to find Hunter's Guild Member Bernard (located in the same town).

Bernard cannot give it to you, but instead offers a hint that you can get it by killing the lizards in the Forest of Mirrors (Harit Lizardmen Matriarch).

If you give Sorint the gold dragon coin, you will NOW be able to do the quests to receive an item as a reward. There are three levels of rewards. If the level is higher, the reward is better. To get a higher level, collect the coins for the higher level. Bernard will give you hints as to what monsters to hunt for coins. He mentions: Lakins, Vanor Silenos, Timak Orcs, and around Bandit's Den, the Cemetary, and Valley of Dragons. Who Drops What?

Sorint will give you a list of NPCs you can collect higher coins from (after giving them lower value coins) They are Magister Page, Researcher Lorain, Warehouse Keeper Hagger, Guard Stan, Blacksmith Duning, Trader Rapin, Head Blacksmith Ferris, Warehouse Keeper Collob, and Grocer Pano. NPC's
