Congrats on completing the spirits event ♪

Anyway, what"s【Speedcasting】?

>>101

The one you get after obtaining the Spell Archive t.i.tle and the total of your spell levels reach 30?

Honestly, I"ve only heard of, like, three people with the spell.

I suppose that"s what happens when you work to finish the spirits event.

>>102

Thanks.

By the way, wasn"t that new spirit called Zoom?

Do you know its abilities?

>>102

I saw a screenshot.

It was similar to a slime…

But then again, there were many other spirits with even weirder shapes.

>>102

This is just a rumour, but…

But wouldn"t having spells scattered like that actually reduce the amount of damage you could do?

Good job getting the spirits, I admire you.

>>106

Especially as a solo elf, I don"t think taking too many spells is a good idea lol.

But hey, as long as you"re having fun that"s great!

Hi, I"m the idiot that took the summoner job as an elf.

I suppose having a vanguard is very important.

A summoner and an elf?

Isn"t that like, super rare…

Not a very elf-like name or way to go though.

>>112

➲ Mirror

That"s great, but I think it"s better you go to the summoner thread.

You could probably learn a lot more there than here.

Ah, but don"t imitate THAT summoner OK? lol

>>102

Anyway, how much of a difference does【Speedcasting】make?

>>113

Ah, alright, I"ll check it out.

My first Summon Monster is a wolf… What should I go for next?

>>114

Well, it seems that if the original spell casting time is 12 to 13 seconds, the skill would reduce that time by about one second.

Although I"m not too sure about that either.

In any case, it"s a subtle difference.

>>116

Well, that one second can make the difference between life and death, so it"s definitely something that can"t be ignored.

As the skill grows, the time reduced could get bigger too.

>>115

This is second-hand info, but a horse is good.

Although they"re pretty difficult to control without a good DEX stat.

Make sure you get【Horsemanship】.

A horse isn"t that good in a fight, but the increase in your mobility is definitely something you don"t want to pa.s.s up.

It"s nice thinking about the various playstyles we have.

Even if some of them are weak…

Let"s all keep doing our best to grow.

>>119

I keep telling you, give up your rapier LOL.

Ah, but before that, how"s your【s.p.a.cetime Magic】going?

>>118

Of course, as elves, we"d all love to have a tank to take the front, but just having a vanguard doesn"t mean you won"t have to look out for attacks.

Be careful, especially at night.

Thinking about it that way, getting a wolf would be a good idea.

They"re good no matter the time of day.

Make sure you support them with other Summon Monsters when you can though.

Although, as an elf, you would be expected to be capable of dishing out a good stream of damage.

To that end, I"m still hoping to get【Speedcasting】, but I"m not having much luck.

I"m having fun summoning spirits as an elf, but it"d be nice to get to spam spells.

>>122

At least you"re still focussing on spells, so it"s not that bad.

I"m sure the skills consultation thread people would cry on seeing my skill composition lmao.

My t.i.tles and skills are all over the place.

>>120

Just a little more until I clear the conditions.

I"m really looking forward to widening the range of my explorations…

>>118

A horse, huh… I"ll consider it.

Speaking of which, the tournament results are posted in the top page of the game site.

Looks like Summoners can fight like that too…

How can I do that?

>>125

Don"t XD

>>125

I"m not a Summoner, but I don"t recommend it.

Unless you have the guts to take on boss-level monsters by fighting them with judo techniques and joint locks instead of your Summon Monsters.

>>125

Stop right there! XD

>>127

What? No way! LOLL

>>127

Judo? Joint locks?

I"m actually interested.

I"ve never seen anything as crazy as that even in the skills consultation thread.

>>127

I can imagine it.

>>129

I"d like to remind you that we elves don"t have that kind of strength…

It"s funny how he"s just known as “The Summoner” but ok XD

But really, how did we come to this LOL

>>131

The guy"s already in the Hall of Legend.

As a meme, though LOL

Looks like the thread has slowed down a bit, so let me explain.

t.i.tles:

Spell Archive

More than 10 different Magic Skills, the total level of all skills is 30.

※ I"m pretty sure about this

Martial Arts Fighter

Punch + Kick + Joint Lock + Throw + Evade + Block = 50?

※ This is an example, I don"t know the actual number.

Weapon Expert

Shortsword + Stabbing sword + Two-handed spear + Club + Hammer + Bow + Buckler = 50?

※ This is another example, I think there might also be more weapons skills or defence skills?

Mystery Links:

Spell Archive → Support Skill 【Speedcasting】 become available.

Martial Arts Fighter → Acquire Martial Arts Skill【Practiced Spirit】 (All stats strengthened).

【Synergy】 → SPI value = 15 or more + (DEX value + 【Precise Manipulation】 Lv = 20 or more)

I"ll omit the Magic Skill Links…

Thanks.

I knew we could count on you Guren!

And there"s suddenly a lot more lol.

Looks like only the defensive skills are fixed.

I see a Cla.s.s Change on the horizon.

>>291

Perhaps.

Actually, I"ve already seen a few players do it XD.

Mr. Summoner became a Grand Summoner LOL

I expect it to be more common as time goes by.

>>290

Don"t expect me to do it all the time though lol.

I just do it because it"s fun.

>>292

Who"s that?

Although, only one person really comes to mind LOL.

>>293

After reaching Summoner Lv14 he became a Grand Summoner Lv1 the next day.

The W2 Guide Team Thread is already exploding about it.

Looks like Cla.s.s changes happen at Lv.15 at the latest.

Apparently there were three choices, Grand Summoner, Necromancer, and Sage.

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

And then?? What happens to someone after a Cla.s.s Change?? XD

Should we call him Mr. Grand Summoner from now on?

At this point all I can really do is sigh.

I"m not even at Racial level 10 lol.

>>295

Let"s stick to Mr. Summoner.

It"s too much of a bother.

Imagine the number of Summon Monsters you could have…

I want to join a Summoner offline meeting.

>>295

Let"s just stick with Summoner LOL.

Anyway, what"s up with the Skill Links?

Why are the Magic Skill Skill Links being overlooked there?

Aside from how you can use stones, I feel like the magic system isn"t very fleshed out right now.

Finally some room to breathe as a tank.

Luckily, I"ve already been putting all my points into either STR or VIT anyway.

I think I can come back from how I did in the tournament.

>>294

What? I wonder what"s driving him…

The difference widens yet again.

And it"s been a long time, so let"s stick with Summoner Hehe.

>>298

I actually don"t think so.

Sorcerers are usually the most important for damage output against bosses, after all.

I want to have another match with the Summoner at some point…

But he went and became a Grand Summoner, huh.

I"m honestly a bit nervous now…

It"s a strange feeling.

A repeat of that fight? LOL

Yes please, I would love to see that!

Anyone want to bet?

This time my bet is on Mr. Summoner lmao.

Oh nooo… LOL

I need a complete recording of that fight.

Knowing the admins, you"re probably going to need to record it yourself.

This is absolute.

Hi ∈(-ω-)∋ I think PK and PKK fights are much more interesting. There"s a lot more blood.

A rematch would be amazing… let"s head west!

I"ll talk about it with my party members.

>>306

I"ll leave you to compile the Job Cla.s.s Changes too, thanks >:)

>>304

Haha, otherwise the admins will probably block the footage.

Although yeah, I doubt he has a chance in a 1 against 1 fight.

>>300

I really want to see a no-weapon, no-magic pure grappler

>>300

>>304

Get Fiona to set up a rematch.

She could probably get it done.

I could even ask for you.

Dang…

I would love to see another tournament.

>>310

Ooh, I"m going to have to move west to see it.

I hope the admins will allow us to download videos of the fight.

Ooh, that"s exciting.

Wait, what was this thread about again?

>>313

The Summoner Thread.

Wait, what? It is, right?

>>313

This is the Mage"s Storytime Thread.

You"re not lost, don"t worry LOL.

>>313

Hi ∈(-ω-)∋ This is the Fear of the Night thread ♪

>>313

This is the Production Job Players loving their work thread LOL.

>>313

Elf Forest?

What is this, I"m confused. XD

Are we getting a repeat of the Tonfa thread?

We"re in a Joke thread.

Jokes, it"s the Sea Thread.

Let"s just call it that, a Joke Thread. LOL

The installation of a forge and trial runs in S2 have been completed.

Thank you to all involved.

Especially in the installation of the blast furnace, we cooperated heavily with the production players in N2.

We hope that we can continue working together to improve the supply situation for all players.

>>44

Roger that.

A site is also being set up here at N2.

But we"re lacking farmers.

It"s becoming more and more obvious that W2 is the dominant settlement now.

I"m trying to increase the number of people coming down to S2, but we just don"t have enough farmers to keep them.

>>44-45

We owe a lot to you too.

we"re doing alright in the agricultural field but progress in the blacksmithing field is delayed.

We"ve had to always improvise to make up for our lack of a blast furnace.

It"s difficult to extract, but I know we have coal and iron ore here.

The prospects are bright, but materials are still pretty rare.

Just as explained earlier, we have found Holy Rock Salt.

It has a similar effect to Magic Rock Salt. Except this one has an HP recovery effect.

More details are on different threads.

I"ve just been messing around and having fun cooking recently.

Sorry.

But I did spend a lot of time getting this piece of new equipment.

➲（Image）（Image）

【Weapon: Spear】Blitz Spear+　Grade C+　Rarity 4

AP+10　M・AP+3　Power 3　Weight 3+　Durability 120

Causes Paralysis [Slight]　Lightning Attribute

A spear made from the sharpened horns of a Blitz.

There is no blade and therefore cannot be used for cutting.However, it has a slight effect on magic casting.

It is small, relatively light, and easy to handle.

With its Lightning Attribute, it has a small chance of causing paralysis upon contact.

The horn and kaya wood shaft are reinforced with obsidian.

It doesn"t have any penalties on magic, so it"s good for front-line players too.

Paralysis occurs with the same probability as a critical hit.

By the way, the Summoner made this one.

It is becoming clear that it is possible to do various things with monster item drops.

If you have【Woodworking】, it"s a good idea to take【Water Magic】.

Those aiming for【Lava Magic】should get【Fire Magic】and【Earth Magic】.

This is absolute!

>>47

I want it LOL.

Aren"t Blitz pretty hard to kill?

I encountered them once in N1W1 and ran away.

But then again, this is the Summoner we"re talking about haha.

It"s not uncommon for player-made items to go over AP+20 and Power 3.

Although there aren"t a lot of players using them yet.

The amount of materials is limited too.

>>49

Good point.

But I think there"s still a lot we can do.

As long as our equipment doesn"t fail us, that is.

Considering the difference between C + and B-, the upper limit, , is still a far way off.

There are still a lot of strong monsters out there, and the demand for better weapons isn"t going down anytime soon.

Although you need to beat the strong monsters to get the strong weapons in the first place LOL.

>>47

I agree.

There are a lot of weapons that have multiple functions in the west.

There are blacksmiths, but not enough to have a major effect on the settlement.

As a result, I suppose a lot of players result to experimenting on their own.

The road to paid items?

>>52

I wouldn"t be surprised if some people are already doing that.

Well, asking for real money for in-game items seems a little…

It might be alright for materials, but…

I don"t know, as a blacksmith myself I"m just not too comfortable with the idea.

Well, an ordinary iron weapon is already at about the upper limit, I wonder what stronger weapons people can come up with.

It"s hard stuff to predict though.

You can look forward to it, and I"m not saying that in a pessimistic way.

The Guide Team is leading us in a nice direction.

Progress is just a little slow.

But our Item Boxes are slowly getting very fat.

And this is for all players, not just myself.

Ah, but the events are a bit… well…

I feel like we"ve reached a bit of a dead end.

It is completely unknown what the clear trigger is.

Well, for the time being, we could just hunt in the areas we already have…

Has anybody checked out the mountains yet?

>>57

No progress.

Those equipped with winter equipment went on an expedition, but were annihilated.

I would recommend 6 people with Racial level 12 or above at least if you want to tackle it.

There"s a lot of training in N1W1, but the Wendigos are still too difficult.

Yeah, good luck with that.

Lv12 is complete addict status.

It"s honestly going to be pretty difficult to find six of them.

For the time being I suggest you tackle the Deva Kings.

But there are people who have won a one-on-one fight against a Deva King…

For now, would this be alright?

➲（Image）（Image）

【Weapon: Sword】Tempered Iron Sword　Grade B-　Rarity 3

AP+17　Power 2+　Weight 4+　Durability 180

A sword made from tempered iron.

It is somewhat heavy for a one-handed sword, but its offensive capabilities make up for it.

>>61

With our equipment, we probably won"t be able to make anything better than that.

Although I would love to see an AP+23 or 24 and Grade someday.

There"s still a long way to go…

>>62

I kind of feel like just leaving it to the other settlements haha.

>>62

You"re not going to beat Wendigos with that…

>>64

Just form a Union and go in large groups?

>>65

No.

There"s only enough s.p.a.ce for three players at most in the mountains.

Usually only enough for two.

And the more people, the more useless spears become.

It"s pretty tough at the moment.

Even with a support bard in the back we couldn"t do it.

Want to form a coalition with the strongest players?

Not getting any progress is tough…

I want information…

>>66

All you need is【Cold Resistance】and winter gear.

Climbing equipment too?

I guess that would be pretty important too.

It"s a good way to gain experience points, at least.

Let"s stop going off topic…

Isn"t there another thread where you guys could discuss this?

>>69

Ahh, well there used to be a lot of Map Guide Threads…

But since you can have one event affect multiple maps…

It"s a mess, to say the least.

I don"t think a proper thread even exists anymore.

I think it would be better if there was a thread like that.

Should I start one?

>>71

Go for it.

>>71

I"ll leave it to you.

>>71

Yeah, good point.

It"s surprising how information managed to get around without such a thread existing up to this point.

>>71-74

Roger that.

I"ll set one up every two events or so.

Anyway, I wonder how we can make better weapons…

It"s still not enough…

A report, more or less.

I"ve more or less come to understand Semi-solobard.

During the day he hunts Snow Apes on his own in N1W1.

At night he joins a random party and hunts Kobolds.

If we want to get him, we could get him when he returns to an Area Portal at night?

It doesn"t look like he plans on changing his hunting grounds anytime soon.

Thanks.

But for such a famous player to openly go solo… I feel like there has to be more to it.

There is a possibility that they intend to fight back and win.

In fact, I myself just got retaliated against LOL.

>>255

Even top players can"t do anything if their MP bars are at zero.

In that sense, aiming for when they"re on their way back to an Area Portal is the best time.

The problem is when they have【Return Home】.

Well, scouting out your targets beforehand is a very big factor to success.

>>255

Don"t let that effort end in vain!

Make him pay for his carelessness!

Well, looking at our success rates, you would know that PK is difficult nonetheless…

>>257-259

Come up with proper handles already! lmao

I have no idea who"s who half the time!

That"s alright…

I"m sure we all more or less know one another by now.

Anyway, aren"t there a lot more PK players now?

Well, that"s nice.

Hi, I became a PK player after hearing rumours of PKK players.

I got annihilated the other day.

But I suppose PK just comes with that risk.

I like the thrill that comes with the difficulty.

>>263

Well said!

I give you the right to PK the Summoner.

>>264

You"re evil. lmao

While I was fighting random monsters to level up, I ran into the guy. Scary, to say the least.

Go ahead and fight the guy one-on-one if you want to have all your joints broken

And he has the stamina to go for multiple fights one after the other too.

His Summon Monsters are just there to watch half the time.

I tried to chase him to try and find an opportunity to take him out, but I encountered a PKK and that was the end of it. orz

If you"re looking for prey, aim for production job players.

Except for the Lumberjack, of course. LOL

Anyway, W2 is pretty scary.

A party of five PK players jumped a stonemason and got completely wiped out.

I"ve also noticed a lot of PKK parties with an Avenger in them roaming around.

>>265

I heard of that too.

How about someone like him for the PK side…

Without Lv.10 spells it"s going to be impossible to take him on.

>>266

Is that for real?

>>267

Confirmed.

I was taken out but I got to use【Discern】before they got me haha.

One of my party members decided to start over after getting tortured by them… orz

What about our retaliations against PKK players?

I feel like I haven"t heard of those in a while…

>>269

It doesn"t happen often.

I can only remember like seven cases.

Now that they"ve formed a proper organisation, it"s getting a lot more difficult.

We"ll get them back.

I just hope that the balance will naturally restore itself.

It is self-evident that PKK jobs will go away if the number of PK players goes down.

Although the opposite is also true.

That"s all.

But our only advantage used to be their lack of organisation.

With that gone, PK is just a major risk now.

Even just normally raising your level has to be done cautiously.

You never know who has【Discern】.

Where are the best targets aside from the starting map?

>>273

It"s all the same.

As long as you"re willing to take on the risk, you can find good targets anywhere.

Well, if you"re looking for the highest risk, then I"d say W2 though.

If you don"t feel like moving around so much, I recommend N1W1 or S1W1.

My point is look for the places where there are a lot of production job players.

And while it"s easy to start a fight with them, watch out for “monsters” alright. LOL

>>273

If you"re not in a party yet, do so as soon as possible.

6 people if possible

Read over >>2 diligently.

Are we really doomed to get picked off by PKK groups if we don"t form parties?

Isn"t there something we can do about that?

For the time being, it"s the Avengers that are making things difficult.

And more specifically, the fact that they can mess with your pain setting.

And of course, the other PKK jobs too.

Bounty Hunters, Bouncers, Spell Sealers, Uprisers…

It"s natural for these guys to form parties.

The forest is the best place to engage them.

It takes a lot of effort to set up traps, but they are very much worth it if you manage to get someone.

You can use the【Light Magic】spell【Illusion】to guide them too, but you"re going to have to come up with a much more difficult plan for that.

>>278

Have any of you guys managed to get【s.p.a.cetime Magic】?

It"ll probably give us an advantage over the PKK players.

>>279

It is worth considering.

I"m gonna try it now lol.

Although I doubt just【s.p.a.cetime Magic】will solve our issue.

It could be useful as an emergency getaway method though.

But our problems won"t go away that easy.

But I feel like we"re going in a nice direction.

Better than how we were doing in the early days at least LOL.

Well no matter how we slice it we"re still just criminals at the end of the day lmao.

But I can"t stop, it"s too much fun.
