Leveling impossible after update
 

Heya all!

I just made a test with my level 45 knight. I killed huge weasels and huge magic beetles because the leopards no longer drop anything. I afterwards sold my loot for 1477 gold but repairs cost 4491 gold. I for me can stand the costs, at least for a while, because of having some money from before the update. But if this relation is true for all the game noone wille ever be able to make a level up when starting the game new. When leveling costs more than it gives no knights or barbs will ever be able to hit the 50 without buying premium.

I'd like you to make similar tests and post the results here so we have an argument against the new 'prices' npcs pay for loot.

A small tip to help you, have a conjurer with u when you grind and don't wear armor, he can heal you while you grind and you will only have to repair your weapons from time to time (but you should already know this) :)

My friend was also complaining about this. I guess it means the realms will have to help each other and donate gold to one another.

I do it all the time ^^

You don't understand. Grinding was unbalanced before. Now it is even more. I can grind on ghost using stunning fist or ambush and have little costs. While Knight have no such possibility. Ergo knight will have huge problem without conj while any other class don't have such problem. Imo lowering gold from 50+ ghosts is joke. 1000 before now 200. And there is less loot to. So bye bye knights.

Well, the point is, all classes but melees can level alone and kill the mob before it can hit them. If a melee wanted to do this he would need masses of mana for balestra, trip and feint. And he would have to rest for mana after every three or four mobs.
And yes, mostly i like to level my knight on my own without a group just to chill out. And no level 4 knight has a conju with him.

Because there ARE no level 4 knights ^^

I earned 100k gold this morning. I spent 156k in repair, with all repaired at the beginning of the griding session.

NGD, once again you're wrong. You removed 25% str damage from knights, did you remember ? So please add us 25% durability bonus.

It cost about 500k/level to buy armors/weapons and yet i changed them all the 2 levels. At lvl 50, it will be the small gold amount of 1.2M i will have to spend.

One day in WZ = 60-120k repair !!! It's what it costs for my warlock in 1 month !!!

So what will happen ? Will we need to use the "unwanted behaviour" once again with a warlock aka killing 12+ mobs/minutes in safe zone (alone!), letting the other people unable to level ?

It's just plain stupid.

since it takes longer to lvl AND this armour needs a serious increase of durability... what kind of shoddy armour gives out after a day or so! and the merchants charge us stupid money (well it will be after the econamy change)for that rubbish! its stupid knights are very expensive mages get off so so lightly if i had my way id cut the robe in half and have it as 2 sections top+bottem since they are so cheap to run (and to colour with dyes)

well, that's why NGD sells a repair hammer for I guess :/

Maybe, but this won't change the fact that currently a leveling knight won't have enough money to buy some decent weapons/armors for next level, even if he did all the quests !!!
