thank you very much for this!

Oi. TYVM for the investigation. Hopefully someone can shed light on [blindside] and its debuff.

A little doubt about the new sets and the npc / class appraiser. What is the maximum number of slots when you identify them?

I donā€™t know if you guys have noticed this by now but gear in this game is kind of a joke. I donā€™t think Iā€™ve ever played an MMO that has handled gear worse than Tree of Savior has. BIS gear for some slots is still level 120-170 stuff when the level cap is over 300. Usually when they add new gear like this itā€™s something thatā€™s still inferior to level 170 gear and still annoying to get (looks like just to get the badge and then level it up and then get the recipe you want and then collect the mats to craft it and then get the next recipe and the rest of the mats to craft the next level of it you couldā€™ve just farmed the gold for a sissel or max peta anyway). I donā€™t understand why this is happening.

There canā€™t be any kind of content in the entire game that is easier to add than a new item. They just need one bit of new 2D art - oh wait, nevermind, most items in the game use the same damn art anyway so they donā€™t even need that. They can just create them and add them to the game with existing art, or at least color swap some art and re-use it. Instead there is almost no gear of any rarity except for the ultra-grind gear and the gear from low level dungeons and world bosses.

ā– ā– ā– ā–  is just baffling to me. New classes, new areas, new dungeons, even balance changes, sure I can understand all that taking a while it takes actual work. New gear though? How can that possibly be this difficult for IMC to do right?

Edit: Oh, and the fact that they feel like every time they add some new items to the game now they have to add some new gimmick way of getting it, whether itā€™s the practonium fuckery or free dungeons or this new gimmick quest thing. This really annoys me. 99% of the mobs in the game are just there to fill space, thereā€™s no reason to farm any of them. They donā€™t even make new Monster Gems anymore. Iā€™m pretty sure there arenā€™t even monster gems for all rank 6 skills, let alone rank 7 and 8. Does anyone like the fact that thereā€™s some new gimmick for every new set of items added? Would people really hate it so much if they just let mobs drop items? Other than the usual botting argument, but the only way to defeat bots is to shut down the game anyway, making the game worse for players to make it slightly harder for bots is awful.

Bang on the head. Itā€™s also hands down one of the most boring systems. Severe lack of variety, every build uses either item A or item B. Current end game weapons are not based on skill, progression, or effort but pure RNG luck with no skill or thought involved. Transcendance is severely punishing within your own account. Pretty much the opposite of how it should be. Such a shame as everything was in place for it to excel.

ignoring the shitstorm that appeared out of simply asking what we get from the those tokens.

anyone know if Overestimate increases the level of one handed swords when they are used by hackapelle?

yes it doesā€¦ the real question isā€¦can you overestimate a sub wep or shield for the +5 and then transcend the itemā€¦will the transcendence take on the added +5 ;3 if so appraiser services about to cash in.

yes it would work, but the extra bonus would dissapear after the buff dissapear, like with squire weapon enhancement.

Anti-CON Necklace and Bracelet lolxā€¦ :joy:

Quest improvement on 28 maps? Has this been mentioned on any KTEST patch notes?

Also @KTEST, many of the maps that will have improvement on quests are in the 160 limboā€¦pretty good.

Once again, thank you for the hard work. :v:

Do you know if they mention that they will remove the Fortune Cookies after the event ends? Cuz in iToS they didnā€™t, and when I send ticket to support team they also donā€™t know lel

So I will try to use all my cookies hehe
Probably iToS will also delete the unused cookies.

Thanks :v:

Archers donā€™t suffer, because their weapons are way better than Five Hammer.
Basically every two handed bow from level 120 onwards with 3 sockets thatā€™s blue,purple or orange is better than Five Hammer.

Crossbow is even better because the difference between minimum and maximum damage is very small, and some even offer 3 sockets for gems (Isbality/Morto e.g.) and some crazy damage boost against certain enemy types.



Also, after checking TOSkbase, could it be that the new Hunting Grounds/Free Dungeons drop purple grade equipment?
The new purple equipment in that level range seems suspicious, but somehow also not so overpowered as people think as it seems to have only 1 slot per default, so if someone were to appraise it, it could only increase to two slots maximum, nothing around 3 or 4 slots people were crazy about xD (lvl 170 equip is item lvl 182 and the level 220 equip is item lvl 200 if Iā€™m right with my guess).

The leather& cloth equip is really nice nonetheless.

Hi @Adeodatus, since you mentioned it, is Morto available already? Where will I be able to obtain it? Thanks!

not sure about you but getting 46 CON and 22 STR from 2 pieces of gear is REALLY good, would rather use that than grynas

Appraiser has been implemented on live server. Its advancement quest contains the most difficult gimmick among those of other hidden classes. It is like a combination of Miko and Shinobiā€™s quest, but even harder. At the moment there is not a single person on kToS managing to clear the quest.

IMC really know how to ā€œentertainā€ their players.
