Oh Sweet Mother Of Pearl - May Update

I'm updating two pcs at once, both started at the same time one is currently sitting at 2 hours and 43 minutes, the other is 7 hours.

So yes very slow for me.

My update was on for 12 hrs and i got stuck and the time just kept going up, so I canceled it and re-started and now it appears to be going only 2 and 1/2 hrs to go.

How have you not realised downloading from POL is slow as bat ***in the past?

get used to it.

There's a bunch of ZIP files you can use instead and then just do a file check to sort em takes about 5 minutes.

Awesome, thanks!

Have a location or link to said zip files?

A lot of this is very ridiculous but hell w.e

Dollar store prices for currency and alex.

I had about a month left on Alex for my Yagrush, but it seems that's being sped up now.

If they're paying money to solo a MMO, they deserve the misery of trying to bypass the core gameplay design being based around community. It's like playing pacifist runs in shooters. Sure, you can do it, but that isn't how the game is made, and you're gonna suffer. With two linkshells and endless options to find active groups by forums or even just /sh, nobody has any excuse to solo these days outside of wanting to.

I for one welcome our 20M future Relics Overlords. Emps are gonna be busted still even with the change to allow trusts this update in VW, so that can be money makers for solo players. Mythics are gonna be in big demand still, so Alex isn't going to nose dive like people are crying about, it just means more supply generated to feed the demand. Speaking of supply and demand, marrows for Relics will likely go up now as more people are going to be express laning ilvl 119 Relics with the removal of limits on Dyna entry, and that is something that can be soloed these days if you're lucky and willing.

Far as the crafting update (and most of these KI changes this update), it feels premature to me. I understand SE is handing the keys to us and telling us to close up when we're done by this point, but they handed some real game changers to us this go around. Now I can level my ALC past this point where the only easy craft that I'm aware of involves very rare dragon components. Now if only they'd remove the GP cap...

Already have the Alex portion down, just need to do my assaults again, which I didn't want to take a month+ to do. The only thing I will like out of the reduced Salvage cool down will be the ability to have trials a little easier and getting salvage gear completed that I didn't really CARE to do, but will now do out of pure completion purposes.

Be nice if there was a KI for HMP or Cinders... But I guess they have to wait for me to finish that too before they make it easier.

not sure where this goes but anyone know where you get new red mage spell?

I did it backwards (sort of). I have everything done except Alex - which I have 10k remaining for Yagrush.

Welp, looks like I'll finally be 110 in all crafts by the end of the week. :)

Stock up those materials to do 90-100 x2 for your crafts. Typical SE lazy solution but whatever.

So is it just salvage that got cooled down or is it for tags aswell ?

Tags are on a 10 minute timer.

Heck man. I was done after Yagrush, but I may go ahead and do mythic #3 now.

Now I don't feel like I have to choose between Koga and Carn. Would have been nice if they adjusted what really needed the adjustment(HMP.)

Just watch, you'll be expected to have a mythic soon in order to get invites into parties. :P

I never thought I would have Carn before Daur99 but now I probably will.

Career BRD obviously. How close are you to finishing Daurdabla?

I have to wonder, of the people complaining about the crafting update, how many are goldsmiths? Betting none, but could be wrong.

Well im a goldsmither and im pissed about this spent 250+mill to level it and i did it not to long ago would be outraged if I was one of the goldsmithers that leveled there craft in 2008-

Well, it probably won't, but if it makes you feel better my Goldsmithing I took to 105, and easily spent more than that getting that far. I was not gonna go for another 500m for 5 more levels.

Anyone Know if AR1 is locked aswell as AR2?
