Whats better?

Post by pinoyplaya »

Starting a new char on a new server or older server but not too old such Poseidon and etc?

I have an account in Poseidon and my very first char was created in Olympus. Though, the advantage of going to a new server is everyone is starting out equally. However, there are some great disadvantages such as having one whole city full of bots and harder to kill anything at the beginning due to ks. Not only that, its hard to find some good weapons too even SOX because the server is too new. The weapons and armors will also be too expensive. Though, there will be no tax since chances are, noone will be conquering Fortress War yet.

Also, one question on the Premium Quest. The last time I played when I had premium on my other account, I had to collect 500 Seeds, but now I hear something about Fruits. What's the difference? Can you now turn seeds into fruits and get more SP?

I've heard only good stuff about Venus and Avalon there,
the more botters whine about them the more I start to love 'em.
If you're looking for a server with the highest percentage of legits, that's your go.
And I personnaly think that's far more important as having a equal start with others on a new server,
because [a fair competition] > [competing with the loads of new botters] whom are joining Gaia also.
And concerning your fruits, goes the same as gold premium, beside the SP reward for 500 fruits being 5000 SP.

Thanks. So your saying that I should go to Venus or Avalon? I've never heard of Avalon Before. Not sure if that's even a server.

Avalon is a guild on Venus.

Purification seeds are for Gold Premium.
Purification Fruits are for Gold Premium Plus.

Thanks for clarifying.

Avalon is a guild on Venus. Are they an SRF guild?

Also, does the fruit give more SP than the seed?

Thanks. I know that by collecting 500 seeds, you can get 5K SP. I've heard that collecting 500 fruits gives you 10K SP? Is that true? and Is this quest still repeatable 3 times as long as your Gold Premium is still valid?

One last thing, If I bought Gold Premium Plus for the first month and did the quest three times (if three times is the max), I can get up to 30K SP. Then can I purchase the Gold Premium and do the quest again except now its seeds instead of fruits and get 15K SP if I do the quest three times and collect 500 seeds?

Thanks again.

I believe that you don't get 5k sp from 500 seeds, only 2.5k sp. So fruits is way better.

But plus is really expensive, almost 50% more expensive than normal prem, But then again, 5 hours of extra xp and sp if you grind that much, avatar stall, +10 str and int (imagine at the beginning, you have 30 str and 30 int instead of 20 str and 20 int :O (Although there might be a level limit on when you can use the prem, don't really know)), more luck & damage & shiz.

The plus is really good if you can afford it.

Double Posted ^^^..


But yea, what I was thinking was getting the normal premium like I used to do on my other account before the plus came out. But I did want to take advantage of the 5 hours on the plus and other bonuses that is included.

Normally I get Premium and SP Ticket at the same time because they worked at the same time.

So in three hours per day, I would be able to get 100% XP and 200% SP bonus for three hours. But now, instead of three hours, I can get 5 hours of 100% XP and 100% SP bonus.

That's like basically having a normal premium but also having 2 extra hours of 100% extra SP and XP. For the Skill Point Ticket, it cost 78 Silk (I believe) and instead of doing that, I can get the plus instead and get 5 hours and higher bonuses.

Possibly after I finish the fruit quest, since its only repeatable three times (I think), then I can switch to normal premium and do the seed quest if I can. Im not sure if they are the same or different quest cuz the plus is new to me.

But if I do switch to premium, I can buy the Skill Point ticket when I SP farm or if not, just go plus all the way. I should have the time like I did last summer. All I did this summer was go to work and then play the game as I was obsessed with it. But now that I'm in school again, I barely have the time to play it. Summer is coming though, so I'll see what I can do. :D

Wait, are you saying that the quest can be repeatable as many times as long as you have gold plus?

Cuz I know that the premium gold is only repeatable three times.
