My long work! Hope it will help u...
U are newcomer on this server? U just started ur way? U don’t know what to do? Where to farm? So this topic is specially for u.
What u gotta know about server:
1. Server’s currency:Epic Adena (EA) - main currency. U can buy for it almost all u want!
Gold Bars (GB) – also main currency. U`ll need it to buy Equipment in custom stores. Or u can trade it for 1kkk Adena (just type .withdraw in chat).
Silver Bars (SB) – trade it in bank for GB or for 500kk Adena.
2. Server’s custom stuff:Newbie Stuff – Newbie sets: good stats, the best for beginning, but cant be enchanted. Newbie Weapon: Same stats as the Infinity weapon but it’s equal to +80. Can be obtained by Newbie Coins.
Epic Stuff – Epic Sets: good stats, can be enchanted, u can buy it in the Epic Store (It cost 10500 EA and…. About 500 GB, cant say correctly). Epic Weapon: also better then Newbie if enchanted on +100, good SA, not bad attack rates, can be obtain by farming in Monastery of Silence. Epic tattoos: gives better stats then usual GM Shop’s Tattoos, can be obtain by farming in Monastery of Silence and Wall of Argos. Epic Masks: Gives u + stats, can be obtain by farming in Ivory Tower hunting grounds (it takes 2 slots in inventory when wearing them, so worse than Crystal wings + hair).
Crystal Stuff – Almost the top stuff on server! U can buy it in Crystal Store. But 1st u got to solve Epic Crystal quest (there is a guide for quest
http://l2storm.heavenforum.org/guides-f12/guide-crystal-quest-t43.htm). Crystal Sets: Cool stats, it costs bout 100k EA, 2k GB and 5 Epic Crystals. Crystal Weapon: also cost 100k EA and 2k GB (on my mind) and of course 1 Epic Crystal, Crystal Weapon have big attack rates, awesome SA and of course can be enchanted and Augmented. Crystal Raid jewels (CRJ): gives u more stats and more M. Def. Cost: Full CRJ set costs: 100k EA, 2k GB and 5 Epic Crystals. Crystal Wings and Hair: Wings gives u awesome stats like +4 Dex, Str, Wit, Int and etc. Same for Hair, they gives u +4% to At. Speed, Cast Speed, P. At., M. At and etc. U can see all stats in Crystal store.
Unsealed Dragon Stuff – the most sweetest thing I ever seen. Unsealed Dragon Set: The best set ATM that u can obtain. But u got to work hard to get it. Unique stats, huge P.def, awesome look. 1st u got to have Crystal set same type u want to get, then u can take quest in Dragon store (there is a guide for quest
http://l2storm.heavenforum.org/guides-f12/dragon-quest-something-to-help-t320.htm). After u solved this hard quest u must pay 250k EA and 4k GB, and don`t make mistake I made! U got to have Crystal set thru all the Quest and when u`ll be ready to trade. Crystal set will disappear and u`ll obtain Unsealed Dragon set. Unsealed Dragon Weapon – also currently the best weapon on server. Awesome attack rates, same SA as Crystal, cool look! To get it u got to have 2 things: Dragon Set of course and Crystal weapon of same type as Unsealed Dragon weapon u want to get.
Immortal Stuff – Unique custom Stuff. Only the most lucky, the most powerful and Skilled players can get it. Can be obtained by hunting Immortal Raid Bosses: Baium, Lilith, Zakken, Antharas, Valakas. What they drop: Baium Dreads, Baium Ring, Lilith circlet, Lilith Ring, Zakken Hat (the Best gear u can get, in combination with Antharas Wings gives u Awesome!!! Stats), Zakken Swords, Zakken Earning, Antharas Wings (OMG the Best look! The Best STATS! Unique!), Antharas Earning, Valakas Wings (same as Zakken Hat + Antharas Wings, but can`t be enchanted ATM and looks a little shitty), Valakas Necklace. Immortal Raid Jewels gives u more M. Def then Crystal and better stats.
3. Main Town – Giran Castle Town. Here u can find all NPCs u can ever need: Epic Store, Crystal Store, Dragon Store, AllInOne (Buffer), Pet Buffer, Newbie Store, Tellalien (if u want to get Nobles u just need Sub class 76 lvl and then just talk to him, u`ll get Nobles at the same moment), Occupation manager (here u can get any prof, including 3rd), Hero statues, of course custom Global Gatekeeper, Event managers (to trade Trophies u can obtain by taking a part in auto events), of course GM Shop and all other RTL NPCs.
4. Enchanting - +15 safe Enchant, +100 maximum.
3 types of Enchanting Items:
Usual scrolls – u can buy them in GM Shop, 75% of successes.
Enchanting Stones – 100% successes, have a chance of direct +100 enchanting.
Blessed Enchanting Stones – 100% successes of direct +100 enchanting.
5. Hunting Areas –
Newbie areas: Ivory Tower hunting grounds – weak mobs low drop of EA and SB, also Epic Masks can be dropped. Players with Crystal and Dragon Stuff can`t TP here.
Wall of Argos – weak mobs low drop of EA and SB, also Epic Tattoos can be dropped. Players with Crystal and Dragon Stuff can`t TP in Area 1.
Monastery of Silence – a little stronger mobs, a little more drop of EA and SB. Epic weapon, tattoos can be dropped. Players with Crystal and Dragon Stuff can`t TP in Area 1.
Crystal and Dragon owners hunting areas:Emerald square – lots of mobs with normal drop of EA and GB. Nothing else drops.
Imperial Tomb (Graveyard) – big amount of mobs, bigger drop of EA and GB, also Life Stones can be dropped. But some mobs can anchor u, so u wouldn`t survive here even if u are in Dragon stuff. But this is one of the best places for farming. 2 ways – make party with Cardinal for cleanse or avoid those mobs.
Forge of Gods – tough mobs, biggest drop of EA and GB, also Life Stones can be dropped. Tepra Scorpions will anchor u for sure, so same farming way as in IT.
That’s the main stuff of server u got to know before start playing.Now let’s begin our guide.
1. U create new character. U appeared in starting area. Look around, see mobs looks like snakes with wings. Kill one. U`ll obtain 79 lvl and item called “Welcome to Storm”. Done it? Search for Newbie store. Trade this item for 29 Newbie coins and 1 GB. For newbie coins u can buy Newbie gear (set and Armor) and GB u can exchange for Adena. Now buy in Newbie Store Scroll of escape to Giran and No grade Soul shots and Spirit Shots. Teleport to Giran and u`ll appear in main servers Zone!
2. U got to prepare for farming. Lets discuss ways of farming for beginners. I clearly can say there is 2 ways: 1. Go to Ivory Tower or Wall of Argos hunting Area. Here u can farm with newbie gear. But don’t forget to buy buffs! Here u can farm for Epic set. It will take some time. The best farming Class here is Titan with 2handed sword, cause he have big P. attack, and u can use Battle Roar in extreme cases to restore HP. Farm here till u will get enough EA and SB to buy Epic Armor and enchant it using Enchanting stones. Also u probably will farm some Epic gear, like tattoos and masks 2. GO to Monastery of Silence with Hell Knight class to kill angels with special skill. Don’t know it`s real name. But it seems to me that it`s more hard and long way. But u can farm Epic tattoos and even weapon here. So try the best way u like. Experiment to find the best way for u.
3. Now farm for crystal. Long and hard way. To start it u got to have at least Epic set +100 and any pole (better Epic) +100. If u have u can start farming with trains! Anyway the best farming style is farming by gathering huge amount of mobs together and kill them using Pole. U`ll hit not 1 mob but all that can be get by your pole. And with full buff u`ll regenerate HP hitting them. There is 2 opinions which class is best for this style of farm Titan (Destroyer) or Dreadnought (warlord). IMHO Dreadnought is the Best! U know why? How much mobs Titan can gather? 10-30 if u`ll try to gather more almost all will lose their aggression. I can gather 100 mobs or more without any trouble! And he have awesome skills and self buffs exactly for pole. And in extreme cases u can restore HP using Battle Roar or… Revival! Revival restore all your HP at a time! So… If someone doesn`t agree, wait till i`ll be able to play (when my wife will give me back my gear) and I`ll show the real trains!!!
So by farming with trains u can obtain EA and GB for everything u want!
And next stage is Unsealed Dragon gear! But… U aren’t a newcomer now… So u are well informed yourself now.
Hope u enjoy my Guide! See u on Top!
