I have a question regarding the tombstone quest...the one where you collect the 8 different stones (ba, ra, da, etc.) I have completed the quest with other characters of mine and I have saved the extras in my storage. I am now preparing to do it again with another toon. I went and got the quest, the...

This question is particularly directed to those who are very familiar with and knowledgable about calculating damage. I am wondering...which character will do more damage... a pure STR with a blade, or a 2:1 INT hybrid with a sword? I am guessing the sword hybrid, but I want to be sure. Thanks in ad...

How do I know which elements are considered "rare"?

Hmm, I just realized that this question perhaps belonged in the marketplace, so my apologies.

but just wondering, has anyone here ever had a +7 drop, or is it relatively common and no big deal?

Yes, I am aware of this, but str provides better phys. defense, while int provides better magical defense. So...the question is about the total resulting character. Perhaps I should rephrase it this way...which is more significant in calculating the total physical or magical defense...the armor or t...

Which character would have better physical defense...someone with full int wearing armor, or someone with full str wearing garment?

ok, maybe this is no big deal, but the other day I was killing water ghosts (yes, I am low level) and a +7 pair of armor legs dropped. They were level 6 or level 7. I was just wondering, how rare is something like this, and what would be a good selling price when I'm done wearing them?

Is there a way to switch to another character on your account without completely logging out. I am asking because it is so difficult to log in during certain hours, and sometimes I just want to switch to one of my other characters for a short time, without the hassle of trying to log back into crowd...

Do you consider it more profitable to breakdown armor/weapon drops into elements or to sell? Why?

What about from a PvE only perspective...which would be best?

This may be a real noob question, but I want to be sure that I understand how magic damage works. I know that a sword (for example) does more magic damage than a blade, but let's say that a character is 50 INT and 50 STR...Is he better off with a blade or sword? Further, Let's say that this player e...

1. I was looking at some SOS items at some of the stalls, and noticed that the prices for those are super high. However, it seemed that the stats on the items were not that spectacular. What is it that makes SOS items so expensive/desireable? 2. If you have the skill to rez dead characters, can you ...

Well, I think we have established that fire is the definite way to go for a pure str blader...BUT...what if the character is going to be PvE only??? Is ice still a definite NO??? or are there some who would argue in favor of it for a PvE-only character?

OK, I full well how that fire is the preferred skill for bladers, especially for pvp. However, I was wondering if there are ANY ice bladers at all who might take the other side. What about is a character is going to be pve only? Does the frostbite cause a very signigicant slow-down, or is it just mi...

Ah, ok, didnt realize that the others had to be completed first. Thanks much.

But in this area, my wife's an mine are identical, and she has no lag.

My character recently turned level 15, and the golden scroll appeared reminding me that I had a quest available (the blacksmith one about the bandits). Anyway, before I looked at what quest was available, I went and sold some stuff to the blacksmith. Then I saw that I could go to him for this quest....

I noticed that the Blade Force skill in bicheon is a ranged attack. Does anyone know for certain exactly how far the range is, and whether it is the same range as nukes?

ok, I will probably show my ignorance here...but anyway, my wife and I have our computers side by side and we go through the same router. Is there something else that would be involved in the "connection" issue that I could address?

I was looking at a skill tree for fire, ice, and lightning. It seems like the passives offer such small benefits. For examply, according to the skill tree I viewed, the fire passive increases physical damage by 1% at first, then up to 6% by level 60. In any case, is this really worth investing skill...

OK, I know that usually, if people have problems with lag, they need a better pc. However, my wife and I are running bascially identical computers (1.4 proc w/ 512RAM & 64MB card). She has no problems with lag, and I have lots. Does this sound like a bad stick of ram, or maybe a problem with dir...

I have heard some say that you should never choose bow for a pure INT character. My thought is this...a pure INT will have such low HP and phys. defense, wouldn't be best for a character like this to attack from a distance and avoid the phys contact as much as possible? Are there other factors I sho...

Ah, I see...an item purchased from an NPC will always be 0%, while drops may have a % increase. Got it, thanks.

???

Sin, I am not sure I understand what your saying to #3. Could you explain plz.

Any other opinions on the other questions anyone?

1. What is the best weapon for a full INT lightning character, and why? 2. For a full STR fire blader, what is the best secondary...ice, lightning, or force, and why? 3. On weapons and armor items, I often (maybe always) see a percentage number in parentheses listed after the damage or absorption of...

Interesting. I can see how the blade type would level more slowly in PvE, but (just curious) what is it that makes a blader such a great PvP type? (I always thought ranged attack was best for PvP, but I would be happy to be mistaken here.)

Thank you very much for explaining this. I appreciate your time.

My character is wearing all armor. When I press the C key (I think that's the one), it shows that my "magical defense" is actually higher than my physical. It shows this on individual pieces of my armor as well. But armor is supposed to provide mostly physical defense, right? There were al...

You guys are really helpful, and appreciate it. I am leaning towards a pure str blade character. However, what makes my situation unique is that I will probably only be doing PvE. My understanding is that I will need to focus on physical defense, but I will encounter magic attacks now and then. Here...
