Actually, I just bought a lv2 ICE sword for 35mil.
Did it mostly for the stats, which are 700 higher than my old one. It's not like the old one's DARK ever helped me much anyway.

So can I still add DARK to this one myself? (dual enchanting)

[maxpayne]

3 slot enchantment in a weapon regardless of weapon

for that weapon of yours:
1st enchantment slot: ICE
2nd enchantment slot: ICE
3rd enchantment slot: <blank>

3rd enchantment usually spends like 75+ stones[higher value the higher lvl reqment of the weapon]

So yeah you can still put a DARK element on it

[NoobJr]

Wait, I thought the Elstones requirement was for the level of the enchantment, not the total enchants. So adding a new element now would cost as much as increasing ICE to level 3?

And speaking of slots, I remember elswordhq saying only some weapons would have an extra slot that allows for 'triple mastery'. So only those weapons could go up to level 3, or let me add DARK after having lv2 ICE?
Wouldn't that also mean the DARK can only be as high as level 1...?

[Resha31773]

3rd job equips (pink/unique, I don't bother with white and yellow ones) have 3 enchantment slot. You can check on alchemist anyway on how much element slot your weapon has.

And yes 2 ice and 1 dark counts as lv3 enchant and 3rd enchant would take up as many elstones as going lv3 ice. Going hybrid would mean lv2 ice and lv1 dark. For hybrids I would prefer using wind instead as the 2nd element since it has a much higher chance of activation at lv1.

[NoobJr]

Huh, mine is pink, but it's not a 3rd job weapon, just a normal one. NPC only shows 2 slots.
So I guess I'll stick with lv 2 ICE for now.

Great to know a lot more about it now.

If you guys didnt read my edited my post in the HK updates thread; here it is

as of 12/8/2010:
1952/2000

48 more thingies to kill and KR and TW will have their maintenance tomorrow XD hope the players there can hunt the remaining mobs.

Any guesses on what kind of events are in store for us in HK???

[NoobJr]

Different question. How to get the stones used for upgrading equips?

[maxpayne]

lvl 1 ~20 maps gives you lvl 1 upgrade stones
lvl 21 ~ 31 gives lvl 2
lvl 31 ~ 41 gives lvl 3
lvl 42 and above gives lvl 4

Scrapping equipment can get you an upgrade stone by certain chance; the lvl of the stone is dependent on the lvl of the equipment scrapped like a lvl 30 black crow pants for raven gives you a lvl 2 upgrade stone(armor or weapon)

[NoobJr]

Is there an estimate of the upgrade/fail odds?

[maxpayne]

+1 100%
+2 90%
+3 80%
+4 65%
+5 40%
+6 15%

rough estimates, i just spent like 100 pieces of weapon upgrade stones just to +6 a lvl 44 weapon

[chloe]

what skill note is this??it's elsword's quest..

[NoobJr]

I think it's

Quest - 大地斬 - Movement distance Increase 50%, Increase to total 8 Hit Assault Slash 突刺步法的建議(Scroll name) NPC - Touma(Behemoth Weapon NPC)

Taken from /forum/elsword/81902...k-updates.html

[chloe]

when will i see the kick (elsword) skill note in the npc??because i was able to get the quest for assault slash for SK/LK (my elsword is MK) but i haven't got any quest for kick yet..is there a level requirement before we see the quest?

[NoobJr]

Is it even possible to survive in 4-X without super powerful apocalyptic equips? I get over 8k damage each hit, and it seems nearly impossible to not get hit with Elsword.
For some reason, I don't see any public rooms for that mission.

[maxpayne]

@chloe
perhaps yeah

@noob
only lvl 48+ with godly equips are the ones that create rooms in there since a normal hellmode monster takes the level of the highest leveled player in the party and the normal atk power that you must have when raiding there must 6700+ or at least a +6 to all of your equipment with helpful enchantment(ice or light) in weapon

[NoobJr]

The 'same level as highest player' is for the normal mode, right? When I went to <solo> 2-X in Hell mode, monsters were 5 levels above mine.
My only non-+6 equip is my gloves, which happen to be +0. Still, even with those +6 I'd still be getting owned.
So I wonder... to get godly resistance I'd need CASH sets?

[Resha31773]

Normal secret dg = highest lv in party
Hell mode = highest lv in party + 5

Having high attack is better. In hell mode all attacks hurts a lot, it's all about play style and avoid getting hit. Skills that stun/freeze or good for stoic mobs are best for secret dg.

[NoobJr]

My problem with getting hit in that dungeon is their counter attacks. Normally super well equipped players can break their combos and avoid the counter, because they have much more attack speed than me.
I saw a super well equipped Rune Slayer just like me on YT, and his attacks took at most half the time mine take. It seems that any combo break I have is just too slow to escape the counters after they're announced, even the Fire Fist. The only hope is to hit n' run.

Is it worth spending 80mil on a CASH set, or a CASH weapon?

[Reinshiki]

Whether you believe spending a lot of ED on an item is worth the price is up to you.

But, 80mil on a Cash set is too good to be true. You'll need at least a few hundred million ED.

I'll say, 40~60mil ED on a +6 GOOD weapon is much more worth it. Price varies depending on item in question.

[NoobJr]

Well, I see some CASH set pieces for sale for between 10-20 million, so being optimistic the set could cost under 100mil. The weapon is about the same price as the whole set, my question is whether the effects are good enough to be worth that. I don't really know what they are since they're in korean.
I already got +6 and +7 everything except gloves, and still seems to be pretty low stats. I don't see what else is left aside from CASH sets or accessories (got 3 from bosses)

It's been incredibly hard to see normal equips for sale, all I see nowadays are CASH sets. About a year ago I used to see normal equips with better stats than mine for about 10mil or so, but they seem to be gone.
