For tank, blackjack got it right. DA is stupidly broken but SK is very good too. SKs will become incredible when people start reaching level 80 and they get Mass Lightning Strike. But that's far off so it doesn't really matter. As for needed classes, let me think. The hot classes at the moment are DA, ES, PR, Necromancer and lately Tyrant. A class needed on every cp is Warlord because they have a shitton of stuns and can aoe stun from range. They are extremely effective on both PvE and PvP just stunning anything that moves. Other than that, the server lacks Overlords, Warcryers Swordsingers and Bishops. The last two can fit on practically every form of cp, so finding a cp that needs one should not be too hard.

I don't really know, I've met a lot of Greek people and a lot of Slavic people. Also a lot of South americans. To be absolutely honest, I haven't met any Hungarian people, other experiences might differ though.

Yes, but can he stun people on ABG?

Gladiators can be strong but they are mostly shit on mass pvp later on, Tyrant is a much better choice, assuming that you can get your hands on some gear. Both tyrants and gladiators deal decent raid damage and can also participate on AOE parties since they have AoE skills(mage AoEs are much better though). About Archers, depends on which class. Phantom Ranger is a beast because of this skill https://l2wiki.com/classic/Fatal_Counter_-_Phantom_Ranger which can oneshot people(and mobs ofc), provided that you have low hp. It's like mage cdl but it's slower, but in return it hits way harder. Haven't really touched Hawkeye/Silver Ranger, but they don't have fatal counter so they have to resort to using normal skills. About Daggers, it depends. Dagger classes need a lot of items, and most importantly 3rd class + 3rd class skills .Most 3rd class skills are difficult to obtain in this server because you need 31 magical tablets (which drop on TOI high floors). Magical tablets are a pain to obtain and as a result are very expensive. Especially when you need to obtain 31 of them. And the 31 tablets that I mentioned are just for 1 skill. As I said, daggers are very gear dependent, but if you manage to get high-end gear(and hero status) on them you can 2-shot most robe users. That being said, I wouldn't recommend rolling a dagger until you have a high level main that can support your dagger. Personally, if we are talking strictly about duo exp with a friend, I would pick an archer(PR is the best choice) at the moment, since they are needed for raids and can easily solo/duo exp with a friend on a lot of spots, like outside of aden. If you get your friend to roll a prophet or a wc maybe, he will help a lot while exping. There are a lot of archer parties on the server as well, which means that you can find a constant party with ease. Soulshots are barely an issue here, unless you are very new to the game(and low on adena). A-grade soulshots and spiritshots are very expensive, but you won't need to worry about them for a while. B-grade blessed spiritshots are very expensive too, and that's one of the reasons most mages prefer an overenchanted Demon Staff(C-grade) over a B-grade staff/magic sword. As Blackjack said, you can check most of the classes and the quests on the link he provided. Please note that you can't buy quest items on luxury shop, so you will have to do those quests manually for 1st/2nd/3rd class change. There is also no option to donate for class change, so you are pretty much fucked and will have to do them by hand. 1st class change quests are easy, 2nd class quests are a pain in the ass because you need to do 3 of them and 3rd class quests are like interlude 3rd class, in the way that you have to kill 700 mobs to advance. It takes a while but you can do it solo easily. 2nd class quests are the biggest pain in my opinion, and can also cost a lot of adena(for new players) because of many teleports. There are guides online that help you do all 3 quests at once(at level 39+) and help you minimize your adena expenses. Also you get leveling rewards that give you Scrolls of Escape to specific villages, and those can be used to reduce the costs of teleporting via gatekeeper. One easy way to not have to teleport to Giran is to visit a gatekeeper, teleport to giran harbor(you can do it from all villages and it's free) and just use a scroll of escape once you are there. So you can tell the gatekeeper to fuck off. That's it, if you need anything else let me know.

Some key features/tips. Items can drop when you die from monsters(excluding raid bosses) Updated client, you can change your key bindings and add key bindings to all your action bars. There are a number of skills that didn't exist on interlude and were added on later chronicles. You can check them on l2wiki.com/classic (not entirely accurate as it follows official and they're a few patches ahead). Grade of items goes up to A, at the moment most people use c/b items, A-grade weapons/armors are considered luxury items and are mostly owned by big clans(except for low a grade weapons, but nobody cares about them unless they are overenchanted) You can join olympiad at level 55, but you will get stomped most of the times as you will be playing with 76+ people, still is a good way to get some money at early levels because you can buy enchant scrolls with marks that you gain each month from olympiad. There is no Antharas/Frintezza/Valakas/Zaken, Zaken gets added at the next patch(it's slowly approaching), Antharas on a patch that will happen much later and Frintezza/Valakas aren't even included on EU Official(Zaken/Baium levels are 75+) Best way to farm is to do raid bosses until 60ish. You can look for parties on party matching but at 40+ they don't really accept mage nukers because they run out of mana instantly and they have to hit with a bow. Mages can do AoE farm parties instead on Alligator Island/Enchanted Valley/ABG in order to level up. Best early game healer is summoner. Most raid parties are looking for summoners because they have infinite mana and can just spam heal for ages. At later levels bishop becomes the best healing class. Try to find an active clan when you enter the game, you get a passive experience bonus and some other rewards that help a lot, not to mention clan skills. By leveling up you will begin to obtain rewards such as scrolls that increase experience gain, you should start using these at level 50+ in my opinion, because there aren't many of them to go around, unless you get a clan with a castle(and they are still expensive). And last, you can start fishing at level 20+. Fishing here is different compared to interlude, you just buy a fishing pole, some standard bait and some fishing shots, you go next to a river and just press the fishing button. Nothing else is needed and you can leave it to afk fish for 24 hours before needing to change your pole. This is a good way to get experience at lower levels without needing to get out of town and it's also a good way to earn money by getting fish and selling them at Giran harbor(the place with the most shops). Okay I wrote a lot of things, I can write more but if it's your first time playing this client you should sit and enjoy the game. One last thing I want to mention is that you won't find that many people at level 1-40 because it's really easy to get past these levels. As a result the server may seem a bit empty to you at the beginning since you can't find parties easily. At 40+ that changes and raid bosses are hunted actively, you can also find AOE parties easily at this level with party matching. Good luck and have fun here.

That's not an actual indication of the online numbers. The guy who posted it was afk fishing and hadn't restarted like 3 days and his client was bugged, making duplicates of every person there. If you check you can see many people appearing 2 or times because the client is stuck. A simple restart would have made most of the people there vanish.

Bangzi + NF= Love for ever ?

You may wanna go easy on the 24/7 fishing, a simple restart will make most of these people disappear.

yes, but can you beat stiba?

trades temporarily on hold since I managed to buy some shit and I am now in debt

Instances are shit, on Ramona we used to spam the enter button for at least 1,5 hour each day because all instance servers were full and there were 10 parties outside all trying to enter at once. I dunno if that's the case with the balthus knight instances, but the whole concept is the opposite of what l2 is about, which is world pvp.

WTS Avadon Robe (main part) +6 WTS Avadon Gloves +6 PM/Mail Malakafaka ingame.

damn man, and I thought only my dad worked at ncsoft

Yeah as Rip said, they are gonna implement the first feature you mentioned on Zaken patch, you can get a sneak peek on this link If you look at the map, you can see this that white animal head means that the boss is dead, it turns green if it's alive. Also check the window out, it displays a full list of the bosses and their status.

is that you m8?

agreed, I had strong withdrawal symptoms when san0 stopped doing the progress tracker thingy on new features

can you guys please stop presenting reasonable arguments and just start flaming the shit out of each other? I think this thread has potential

gz on 500 posts guys, it's been one hell of a ride, see you on next drama topic

make sure you don't oneshot them, for some reason you don't get quest items if you kill them in one hit

do you guys believe in aliens? I mean the universe is endless, there have to be more inhabited planets. I want to believe...

he's polluting the forum with toxic posts : (

Agreed, should be at least 40

It's true, Israeli towns look like actual european towns. *meanwhile on the other side of the gaza strip* Ugh, t-thanks Israel, I guess...

Equitorial Guinea has an average IQ of 59. And here I thought my cp leader was dumb... Those fuckers must have devolved into homo neanderthalis.

Israel 95 IQ average? Oy vey,don't make me laugh, they want you to think they are dumb so they can take your shekels while you are not aware of them.
