You must be misinformed. It is AWFUL inefficient to buy those enchant things from the cash shop. You buy them for gold in the marketplace. Dragon nest is a time consuming game. With some updates, it is either easy to get endgame or hard. The p2w is awful. It's 40-70 dollars for illegal 10k gold which means nothing if you do not know much about dragon nest. Selling direct nexon cash is 150 gold per 1 dollar. You can see how highly inefficient it is. The enhancing things (called jellies) cost 3,400 nexon for 50. 50 of them is equivalent to 300 gold. Even the devs seem like they are taking huge steps to fix their game as dragon nest is dying http://dragonnest.nexon.net/community/forum#%2Fshowthread.php%3F1428544-2015-05-23-KDN-Conference%26p%3D11807128%23post11807128 I am well off, and I have never spent nx cash on anything besides a permanent costume. I'm sorry, but that is very ignorant of you.
Both dancers are very viable in a raid setting, as both Genie and Dance 2 are powerful buffs that are highly desirable in raids. Both have roughly the same DPS, but Spirit Dancer is highly reliant on her burst combos (which is helpful since the current meta is very burst-heavy). A friend of mine who has two dancers at level 80 says he prefers Blade Dancer just because they're more fun to play. Parties will generally not care which one you are, as long as you can survive and know when to use Dance / Genie. In raids, you're not taken for your damage, you're taken for your buffs. I know nothing about Dancer's PvP capability, though.
Like /u/cbcoro said, NA gets plenty of reset scrolls (assuming you're NA). We get one at 15 from Irene, we get a few leveling up (I know for a fact that boxes at 50, 58, and 60 contain reset scrolls). I would recommend following a guide and respecing at level 50 to follow that guide as closely as possible (although you're not going to be able to follow it to the letter, obviously).
Here's an extremely in-depth Blade Dancer guide
Here's a decent Spirit Dancer guide, although it's not written by an NA author so the skill names are different. Icons are the same, though.
As for leveling, just do Master level dungeons the whole way. Abyss is too difficult for characters around that level, in most cases.
TL;DR
- Nexon Dragon Nest NA service ends on September 27, 2016
- You have until the day before (September 26, 2016) to confirm your account transfer to Eyedentity servers, otherwise you will lose your progress and account.
- Account transfer will be available on Thursday, July 14 2016. You will be prompted in game.
- You will be able to access your DN account through Eyedentity after the transfer has happened. You will not be able to retrieve lost usernames or passwords from Eyedentity support services if you forget them even after you transferred your account and the publisher switch occurred.
- Once the Dragon Nest NA services are terminated, you will be able to make a Eyedentity account and use your Nexon account information to claim your account (Characters and other stuff). This will be the same login information that you provide in the in-game transfer prompt.
- There will be game events that will occur until the game shuts down. Click Here for information regarding events in Dragon Nest.
- If you like to play other Nexon games you can click Here to see what deals Nexon has if you play their other games.
- We are going to keep all our characters
- We will keep all of our NX costumes.
- Some data such as Marketplace listings and guild information will not be transferred over to Eyedentity servers (You really want to remove your items/gold from the marketplace if they do not sell on the day before the transfer because any items listed on the MP will not be carried over to your Eyedentity account).
- Any NX left on the account will NOT be transferred to Eyedentity's micro transaction currency when we are transferred to Eyedentity servers.
- Dragon Nest NA will no longer be available on Steam after September 27, 2016
- Eyedentity servers for Dragon Nest NA will be available on September 28, 2016
It doesn't have all classes updated for 90 cap, but most of the ones that are updated for T5 are still being updated patch to patch.
If you dont find it here, you can find class guides are on the nexon forums for dragon nest. Just go to your class, and a guide should be stickied.
Barely better than Felis and the same as nightmare I think. No set bonus. I'll link the forum post when I find it
Towards the bottom.
most likely because nexon has only acknowledged one "fan site" which is CBL (which has died). Other nexon games have "fan sites" under there community tab. (ex: http://dragonnest.nexon.net/community/fansites). I can send in a ticket and see if nexon could put a fan sites link on the official website.
I was following this guide for Blade Dancer
*Retrieved from Official DN NA forums
Hello! I'm actually a Valk main over in NA!
For levelling, you can really just do whatever you want as long as it kills the enemies in the dungeons you're in. You get skill reset scrolls in the level up boxes (in NA at least. Idk about SEA), so as long as you dont waste them, you can do a bit of experimenting before you decide on a build.
Until you hit your final specialization at lvl 45 (as in actually become a valk) your skills all do physical damage. Once you specialize, everything you do becomes magic damage. The light damage that's associated with Valk attacks is actually tied to the attack themselves. If you hover over the skills, it'll tell you this
Again, I'm from NA, so my advice is limited to what I have in my server (and you use SEA and NA's class names so i cant figure out what server you're on), but the guide i used for learning how to play the class efficiently is right here
If you still need a skill build for Machina, this is what I was able to find.
Skills that do not derive their damage from both phys and magic damage are automatically changed to derive their damage from one of the two depending on the character's class.
A list can be found here as to what it gets converted to. It is under "general class attack types."
Oh wow that got translated badly. Think of 'power' as 'fatigue'. Fatigue better describes the mechanical effects and was the term used by the freedomplays team back before Lencea came to the english speaking servers.
While using Erratic power (and some other skills) you gain 'fatigue'. Once you reach 10 fatigue you become lethargic (-speed and -hp as described in the skill).
You cannot decrease your fatigue by any means other than the natural recovery.
To address the bit about final damage is a bit more complicated, but erratic power adds the specified amount to your final damage (abbreviated FD) total.
I am the GM in question, Alilatias/SaitoHikari. Though I'm not really a GM, just a moderator (and a sort of advisor to the staff regarding future content releases).
The original issue that led to commissions being banned is largely unknown even to me. The thing is, Nexon runs multiple games and thus has a forum for each game. The commission ban only applied to the two Nexon games ran by a previous community manager, while no such rule applied anywhere else. Thus, the current community manager and the rest of the staff reviewed it. They quickly decided to strike down the ban, for the sake of keeping things consistent across all Nexon forums. After all, something's odd if most of the staff goes 'Huh? This was a thing and it's not consistently enforced?'
The thread in question turned highly personal the moment the topic starter showed up. If you really want to see what happened, I could undelete everything so the international DN community could see and judge for themselves, though the threads would remain locked. For one, note who was the one that asked about credentials first, and everything that came after.
As someone who ferries information between NA/SEA/EU, watching someone take their personal grievances to the international DN community for the sake of manipulating public opinion is something I cannot tolerate. While I participated in the crap slinging myself towards the end, I don't care for coverups even if I'm likely to get in trouble for even explaining the other side of the story.
This is the original thread in question, in all its fully restored glory. The conflict begins on post #117 on page 12.
EDIT: Probably not a good idea to show the second thread, considering the topic starter posted quite a bit of his own personal information in there...
90 cap just got released in Korea with T5/3R (basically, revamping the entire game) and they're no where near finished with it. From what people have said it normally takes ~3 months of them constantly making changes before they consider one of these complete. After they're done I'm not sure. I think the time between something is released in KR and we get it is somewhere around 5 months but we tend to get balance changes a bit sooner. It could be like with T4 and 50 cap where they gave us T4 first then 50 cap later. Either way I don't see us getting it this year.
If you're interested in what's going on with T5/3R atm check here: http://dragonnest.nexon.net/community/forum#%2Fforumdisplay.php%3F272-Future-Content%26nxid%3D62
Just remember, it's not done yet. Lots of things can still change. Even most of the nests are disabled right now.
Not from NA, but after a bit of googling:
> Farm Updates > > * Crops no longer require water to grow. > * Watering Cans are not required for farming. > * NPC Maury’s Farm Shop and Cooking Shop have been updated to add the Seed Exchange tab.
http://dragonnest.nexon.net/news/update/00IWt/complete-update-notes-roaring-rumblings
I was going to try to look through these and get a summary but I'm way more tired than I thought.
It's kind of long but it should be good.
I think its just your accessory choice and possibly a lack of dragon jades.
You might want to take a look at this gear setup which was part of this lunar knight guide. I assume you just didn't put in the dragon jades for the equipment, but if you have any equipment without wise jades that will certainly contribute.
After fiddling around a little bit I made another tab with just the accessories changed to mystical/wise where they weren't (previously brutal, knightly, and solid were used), and put in mystical/magician and wise gems. This shows a gain of over 10k magic damage. You can use the 'link to' tab towards the top center to see the differences in stats.
You should probably take a look at this guide, and maybe this one as well.
What server are you on?
edit: you mostly want magic damage and intelligence with intelligence being the priority once you hit lvl 65.
Has all updates. Things we don't have are listed first. It's up to date for class revamps as far as I can tell.
- Most Saders prefer Flails. Maces are usable but flails are preferred by the majority of the Sader population.
- Sacred Hammering is more of a filler skill during your burst rotation, but still deals very high DPS.
- Not too positive what you mean by this, but considering that all your gear is level 32 it won't make a difference by the time you hit 40 and upgrade to the next armor set.
- Not that I know of. Definitely read up on some Sader guides (I highly recommend Zetsuen's guide)
- Sader is by far the more popular class - in light parties, they're excellent damage dealers and are the single highest damaging class in the game under HoG. Guardians aren't bad (and will be more popular when Dark Avenger comes out) but Saders are much more common - be aware, though, that it is extremely expensive to gear a Crusader.
Sounds like you found it, but this is the current NA list. It's really not hard at all to keep track of, and all you have to worry about is what's on your class specifically. Most of them make sense once you've played for a bit.
As an aside, that link is to the NA pvp forum where you can find a lot of guides and other answers to your questions. As long as you preface your google queries with "NA" you should be able to find what you're looking for without worrying about version.
If you are trying to do it right at this very moment, Nexon is currently experiencing connectivity issues. Please try again in 15-30 minutes, the issue might be remedied then. Sorry for the inconveniences.
Personally, I really enjoy Dragon Nest. Unfortunately, it's run by Nexon, so it has pretty shit customer support. I definitely enjoy it's pvp, because of it's fast action oriented combat, but sometimes it can be ruined by lag. Recently though I've noticed that the server-sided lag is getting better, and the lag that I find myself getting angry at is player sided. The game is fun, and if you're looking for something to play I'd definitely recommend checking it out. Here's my youtube channel with some gameplay: https://www.youtube.com/user/BladeToOath And here's the game's website: http://dragonnest.nexon.net/
Thanks for replying, this will help a lot. If you haven't gotten all your questions answered about Dragon Gems yet, this will be very useful.
There's not much to do about the translations though. I would suggest staying on the NA forums, and using the search box for any specific questions.
Alternatively, if you have any questions in the future, just send me a PM, and I'll try to answer them as best as I can!
There are a number of builds here though most of them are outdated with the recent 70 cap
I'm waiting for a number of MMOs coming out Q4 2011/Q1 2012 too. Tera, GW2, etc.
I see you played EdenEternal, the graphics are quite childish, but the game-play really gets much better than the starter zone. In the same art style, DragonNest was just released. Not an open world MMO, similar (but more open) to Vindictus' world. It combines action MMO with hoykey skills. I find it reasonably fun, enough to play more than once anyways.
Have you played Rift yet? That's the last "major" MMO I played, I lasted 6 months before getting bored with it. Could've lasted much longer if I had any real interest in raiding.
I've been playing Dragon Nest lately. It's one of those free to play MMO's that charges microtransactions for optional appearance and helper items, which more and more games seem to be doing lately. Still, it's a fast paced action MMO that's a lot of fun. Technically still in beta (the level cap is currently 24) but worth checking out.
If you haven't gotten your answer yet, check this out! And also, the limited edition cleric that will be coming out is called, Arch Heretic.
Here's a detailed guide I wrote about exactly this.
Yes, Lunar Knights are fairly strong DPS at the moment. Gladiator is far stronger currently, but the upcoming 93cap adjustments will rocket Lunar Knight back up to top tier DPS.
I don't know what the other servers are up to, but NA is in the middle of an event where they're giving free dragon eggs to accounts that log in from 3/4-4/3. As you might've noticed, you dont actually have to log in every day to get the free eggs.
The eggs are NX items that give you a chance of getting things like costume rings and mounts. Just open them to see what you get.
You could try looking at the guide for your class on the forums and see if it includes info on gearing. Forum Link
Other than that if you tell me what class your playing I might be able to give some help.
No, I checked the forum thread for it, but so far there hasn't been a response as to why it's down.
I can explain the mercenaries at least:
They're basically like pets in some games; you drag them along and they'll fight alongside you. They're pretty useful if you solo/duo because they can draw some aggro away from your party, along with other summons. Less useful if you party often, because they cannot be used in parties bigger than 2 players, or in any areas that require more than 2 players (obviously not in PvP either, duh :P).
Each merc starts at lv1 and can go up to 20 (I think - the skills on the one I have max at 20 at least), gaining some new skills every few levels. I think their HP is equal to a portion of your own, but cannot verify yet (Nexon site is being uncooperative ATM, but here's a link - maybe you'll have better luck =_=).
You can get more from Sandar's shops in town (@ lv80+). When you take the quest to introduce the merc system, you'll get one low-ranking one for free.
Lunar knight's are fairly popular if the number of them I see running around is anything to go by, and barbarians are very strong right now. Barb's also have the advantage of being very easy and simple to gear. Pretty easy to play, too.
As for destroyer, they're unpopular and everyone prefers guardians if they want a tank. (Also, I'm not sure if it's just me but I get ridiculed by other plays every now and then when I play on my destroyer.)
I don't know anything about Kali's.
As for gold, SirSunny made an up-to date guide for that on the forums. In short, do dailes, grind Zephyr Plains while opening all the cages to get a royal chest, do all your nest runs, starlight runs, secret room runs, hero's battlefield, and citadel of erosion. There are a couple other things in the guide too.
tl;dr Barb and LK are pretty good right now, and do all your daily/weekly clears to make gold.
Nothing confirmed as far as I know but if not next week then I would guess on the 21st since that's when the January patch will be:

This is before we got word of this new buff for finishing atk
Machina guide from NA: http://dragonnest.nexon.net/community/forum#%2Fshowthread.php%3F1503022-glass-and-varav-s-machina-encyclopedia%26nxid%3D62
most important thing when playing Ruina imo is don't forget to use overcharge after your skills. Overcharge gets extra damage from the skill used before it. Just hold down the left mouse button after a skill. You can also go right back into ducking after overcharge if you hit space while you're grabbing the ground and facing backwards.
It was stated in a recent-ish article, which I'll link at the bottom of this, that R-Coins were going to be removed, which the NA devs weren't too fond of, but they would make sure to add a few more events.
Basically, in the coming months, there should be some more events involving R-Coins, or at least a few more routes of distribution. What they are or when they'll be there, I don't know.
http://dragonnest.nexon.net/news/news/00IoM/r-coin-shop-will-be-removed-in-february-update To quote: "R-coins are currently earnable through events and giveaways, and we’ll have more opportunities for you to collect coins over the coming weeks. You can take your coins to the R-coin Shop to exchange them for various items."
Known bug on NA server (no idea about SEA, as DA can't be created here anymore). Nothing you can do about it, need to wait for them to fix it.

Bow Master has 2 different sub-specializations which both have different focuses (sniper = agi, warden/artillery = int)
Bow Master and Sniper derive damage from phys damage while Warden derives damage from magic damage.
So no the Bow Master is not, but 1 of its specializations is.
edit You can see which class uses which type of damage here under "General Class Attack Types" as stated in the stickied post.
I think I remember the skill description used to saying something about that, but it doesn't seem to now.
Probably holding down the backwards movement key while casting changes something (similar to the moonlord's crescent cleave Ex).
edit: from this guide
> The Deathbloom can now be summoned without the threat attraction by holding s while casting it, which is useful if you want to stand near it for the AS buff without having enemies come at you. Since you can now control the summon location, you can drop it at your feet when doing this, or far away from you if using it for crowd control.
So at least in T4 you could do it w/o it generating aggro
Booster pack includes:
- "White Cupid Wings (1): Equip these wings and get +10% movement speed.
- Twinkle Ruby Ring (2): Each ring grants +10 Strength, +10 Agility, +7 Intellect, and +6 Vitality when equipped.
- Loop Earrings (1): Equip these earrings and get +300 HP and MP.
- Plate Pouch (Skill) for Machina (1): A pouch that contains a plate that can be used to craft Epic Skill Crest for Machina. Level 16+
- Dragon Egg (1): Crack open a Dragon Egg to receive one random item, including equipment, functional Cash items, and more. "
You can sign up here.
No idea about how good the class is though, looking forward to finding out soon.
There you go. It's one of the specialized ones btw. I would suggest using a more general one if it doesn't suit you
Welcome back! I recently came back to Dragon Nest as well~ warning - sparks are gone and replaced by dragon gems. I've been following ShdwEngineer's guide.
This subreddit is not recommended as the viewership is actually very low. Try your local forums (NA Recruitment Thread version: http://dragonnest.nexon.net/community/forum#%2Fforumdisplay.php%3F85-Guild-Recruitment%26nxid%3D62)
Also use a free blue bird / yellow bird to shout that you are looking for an active, friendly guild. Or even view the list of guilds in the guild page and pick one. Most work, and you should be able to get help, advice, and do runs with people soon enough.
As far as I know, yes. I heard about it here so I'm not sure if it's available elsewhere. Can confirm I got it, I lost all my account details from when I played several years ago and had to sign up again. Also, you can still make a dark avenger on NA, so I'd at least make one to sit on before it disappears.
Valkyries are light-based damage characters, generally accepted in light-damage parties.
http://dragonnest.nexon.net/community/forum#%2Fshowthread.php%3F1418539-Level-80-Cap-Valkyrie-PVE-Guide This post should contain a still up-to-date version of Sting Breezer/Valkyrie build.
This. It is an un-resistable absolute zero-variance damage multiplier.
If you don't mind some reading Seig made a great article on the subject which can be found here.
It's a little more complicated than that since it works off off FD. I recommend reading thru this post
You sure?
If you have an existing Level 80 character, you can create a Level 60 Avenger class character. Otherwise, your Avenger class character will start at Level 1.
Pretty much, dragon nest doesn't really support windows 10 yet. My friend had the same problem and he just ended up reverting back to 8.1, but honestly i would just wait unless you really want to play because it looks like they are trying to work it out. http://dragonnest.nexon.net/news/news/00Ifg/
Kali can do decent DPS. I'm assuming you're playing it for fun and not for min/max raiding. Since you're thinking of Soul Eater, this guide might be interesting to look at. Even if it claims to be a supporting guide, you can tweak it to your liking.
At least you got it figured out. Sucks about your wallet though. You will probably see a lot of Dragon Scales on your account on the 31st.
You'll probably want at least one point in each of your attacking skills. Your build while you're leveling doesn't matter too much since most builds at the cap aren't reasonably doable while leveling.
Lunar Knights in particular suffer from not having their 65 passive till level 65 so you might actually want to invest more than minimal points in the gladiator side while leveling up.
As far as end-game builds go the two guides that come to mind are this guide from the NA forums and this build from the freedomplays website.
Grow spirits- you know that free spirit thing you get from the reward box? basically that with stats that grow like a pet using items. Think it might take the weapon glow slot.
Choice of class up to you, all 3 would be accepted to nests. Would level a shooting star over a lunar knight since they're cheaper unless you're afraid of upcoming nerfs and are like tier 1 dps class while moonlord is a little below. Chaos mage is taken for fast forward which is used mainly during burst windows since they're a lot of buff wipes and is considered to be one of the fastest dungeon runners and has a low skill cap. They have mediocore dmg with gravity well spam.
http://dragonnest.nexon.net/community/forum#%2Fforumdisplay.php%3F77-Classes%26nxid%3D62 prob can find some guides about them in the sea forums too
I usually opt to get the superb skill plates first since they work in pvp and you can see their effects instantly.
Do your dailies/weeklies/nests and join one of the high lv guild.
Heard fishing and cooking are profitable if raised but otherwise are not worth your time. Think of them like you would in runescape. Also do Hero's Battlefield for the fragments. Think you would want to use Velskud.
Dragon Nest sounds like the game for you. If you can find some people to run dungeons with you then you're going to have a great time playing. According to other players, the grinding is the only con towards the game. However, since you don't mind grinding then that shouldn't be an issue. I've also read that classes are slightly unbalanced but that's an issue that every MMO faces.
If Dragon Nest doesn't look interesting you could always wait for a western release of Peria Chronicles. I have no idea when that would be though.
Inspirit Online might also be worth looking into. I believe we'll see a western release for this game sooner than Peria Chronicles. In fact the beta might be currently playable but don't quote me on that one.
The one dragon raid each cap and pvp is what shines the most in the game. EU is spoiled because you guys are right under the devs iirc. Dragon nest as a whole has been lacking a lot, and isn't even worth playing right now. The combat system is one of the very few features that keep people in the game alone. There is still some hope for the game. http://dragonnest.nexon.net/community/forum#%2Fshowthread.php%3F1428544-2015-05-23-KDN-Conference%26nxid%3D62 It's all around the future content forums. The entire game is getting a extreme rework to focus on more action combat and making gold easier to farm which is awful for new players right now. There's like 5 billion claims that the devs will change, and they have already implemented some of those changes. I would recommend waiting a few months to dive back in to dragon nest when the giant rework comes around. All of the changes will pretty much change the game 80%. Small things like outlining invincibility frames will be implemented as well. Whenever you use a skill that has an i-frame it'll outline in yellow, so you can learn your class much more easier.
Well The phys FD boost adds +50% FD. The ruler weaps + planet set gives 5% FD for a total of 55% FD (as said in my edit I accidentally used 7%, but dps-ers probably have an ulti plate right?). To my knowledge the +dmg skill crests work by adding final damage just for that skill so
55%-57% + 20% from the +dmg skill plate = 75%-77% FD total after phys boost
.5 / 1.27 + 1 = 1.3937007874 which is about a 1.39 multiplier or 39%.
edit: yea w/ the x2 cap around and inquis + Warden + Phys + guardian you probably don't need that much more healing so I can see where the LF's utility is being questioned. Just priest + Phys I think is like +54% dmg and many class's passives already contribute +10% towards the x2 cap so you're looking at a baseline of around +65% in that case. Even if you're stacking some FD the phys's boost always gets all of its stuff applied (since I think FD boost from skills ignore the FD cap?). With sharpshooter + pally you're already at 69%/100% of the extra damage debuff cap too.
Currently playing Dragon Nest, it's a f2p MMORPG. In a guild filled with chill people ages 20+, always talking on raidcall (kinda like skype), Dragon nest <- Website.
NA? If so, you reset your second password on the website:
http://dragonnest.nexon.net/support/2nd-password-information
You have to have a nexon account to log in. It's whatever email and password you use after clicking play on steam.
You could also try dragon nest in a few months as well. http://dragonnest.nexon.net/community/forum#%2Fshowthread.php%3F1428544-2015-05-23-KDN-Conference%26nxid%3D62 This is a super small list condensed on what future changes from now will be because the devs have finally learned their lesson. You have to spend hours and hours and weeks to learn the dragon raids at the level cap with a team because if die, then you cant be revived. You can on the weekly nests which you do in four mans. If you live in europe, you can enjoy being spoiled by the developers X)
Dragon's Nest combat is pretty fun. The dragon nest nexon team has been doing a lot better, I don't see much bad actions being taking as they have/had with maplestory, I would know this because of my ~7 years of experience with nexon. I think problems you'll find is the grind for gold/money, population-basically non-friendly beginner stuff in NA. It definitely is a more f2p game, you just need a hulking time investment. The devs have been fking up left and right for the past year or two, but there is something MAJOR to look forward game. Basically a future update the developers have been working for a while already, sorta like Big Bang for maplestory. Little information has been given, but it'll either fix the game a whole bunch or ruin it. http://dragonnest.nexon.net/community/forum#%2Fshowthread.php%3F1418650-Road-to-T5-Developers-Message-to-the-Community%26nxid%3D62
I tried vindictus before, and it is pretty fun. Had problems with not liking the classes and not having cool skill effects unlike dragon nest-eventually got bored from the dungeons. Also, the pvp system in dn is super fun.
Here's an okay SS guide. I would max Chemical Grenade and put your Frost Tower to rank 7 for the ice debuff (Ice Witches will love you for this). Chemical Warfare is debatable.
Skillbar use is personal preference. You'll learn to get used to your setup as you level, and it's usually best to stick to that setup. I personally have my important heals on 1 and 2, and float on C on both skillbars since those are your three most important skills. Playstyle is very easy: cast summons->shadow clones->throw Sunshine Spark to debuff->float next to the boss.
Guardians fit more into the utility role, although they're more like support tanks than healers. Crusaders aren't primarily meant for healing, they're meant for burst DPS. There are Guardian and Crusader guides in the cleric subforum.
I don't play Guardian/Sader, but I believe most of them stack Strength. Light Furies should be stacking agility.
SS is very easy to play - just reload and spam Splash when you have a DPS window. Skill builds are easy to find (just max Reload, Splash, and Chemical Grenade) and you'll want to stack agility.
The first 2-3 pages or so of this thread have some interesting tier list discussion before it degenerates into name calling.
TL;DR - Dark Summoner, Ice Witch, Abyss Walker, Adept, Physician, and Reaper are some of the more powerful PvP classes out there.
So am I. There's a community blacklist IIRC, and summons are on that list.
This is what I'm talking about.
Nexon says that it will be back "soon". In the meantime: > Until we bring our new system online, please continue to email us at . Be sure to include the game title in the subject line, as well as the following information in the body of the email: Character name, server name, account name, description of problem, OS version.
It's all do-able, however, a fare few of the items required, even for just Old Gobbus, are found from enemies inside 40+ dungeons. I'm not sure via the wording on the main site, but it looks like your character must be the one to loot the item? I think this means that you need to collect said items from drops yourself, on that toon? So I don't think even buying the items off the Marketplace will work. But I've already seen some up for insane prices. It's such a new event that until it ends, people won't know all the in's and outs.
As for a list of where to get the items, http://dragonnest.nexon.net/community/forum#%2Fshowthread.php%3F1395487-Crowd-Source-Collectibles-for-Mercenaries%26nxid%3D62 is a pretty good listing so far and will undoubtedly become enhanced as the days go by. Also, sorry but it says it's only One Merc per account. Personally, I'm going for the long haul and aiming for Typhoon Krag. Took me 31 runs of Dead Mans Road to get the Old Spoons... ugh...
there's a changelog of all non-cosmetic changes made to the game since the release of the 70 cap; I started playing in 60 cap so I don't know everything you missed, but this log should answer most of your questions:
as for your current characters, windwalkers are primarily used as Spirit Boost mules in 8 man raids and are actually considered more useful than Tempests now due to the recent Acrobat buffs (wasn't a revamp, just buffs to WW/Tempest's respective ultimates)
Engineers are still very strong; Shooting Stars are top-tier DPS and are one of the most desired classes in most parties. As for Bringer, I'm not sure which class you're referring to - you can't possibly mean Light Bringer, as Assassins have only been in the game for about 6 months.
If there's anything else you'd like to know, just reply.
Thanks!
I found a thread about it. On the NA forums (no chart, but I can plot it on wolframalpha easily).
So according to the thread 366 FD is actually around 2.8% damage which gets rounded down when displayed, and maybe also rounded down for actual damage calculations.
Here's the forum post/thread I found:
http://dragonnest.nexon.net/community/forum#%2Fshowthread.php%3F1384972-How-does-FD-work%26highlight%3Dfinal%2Bdamage%26nxid%3D62
Here's a chart for the 80 cap if you're interested:

http://dragonnest.nexon.net/community/forum#%2Fshowthread.php%3F1188575-Discuss-my-Physician-Build%2Fpage2%26nxid%3D62
I remember looking at it when I was thinking about playing a physician.
No one's said Dragon's Nest and Dragon Saga, so I'm tossing in a rec for that. Adorable / casual basically to me means Asian MMO, which is what these both are - they're very cute, pretty straightforward, relatively easy to play casually but with tons of thing to do and dailies and so on. Also they both have pretty decent populations. The main difference is that Nest is more of a standard action MMO, whereas Saga is sidescrolling / platforming semi-2D.
If you're talking about NA there's a new nest and class. Patch isn't finished yet though. Patch notes can be found here:
http://dragonnest.nexon.net/news/news/00IJI/complete-update-notes-lencea-ironfist-legacy
I cannot find the exact EXP change, but here is the patch notes http://dragonnest.nexon.net/news/update/00IDP/complete-update-notes-level-80-sin-of-the-ancients
note "-The experience points required to level from 1 to 70 has been drastically lowered."
The point is Dimensional keys + shards are negligible rewards compared to higher level things, the developers want to encourage players to not waste time at lower levels. There is no way a new player is going to be able to efficiently grind on Abyss, and they end up having higher level players carry them. Lv32 dungeons is the end of the "newbie zone" and at this point new players would have been accustomed to following MQ. Abyss was retained for quests and achievements.
Hopefully this should help: http://dragonnest.nexon.net/community/forum#%2Fshowthread.php%3F1330783-DNLauncher-Bug-Fix%26highlight%3Ddnlauncher%26nxid%3D62
Alternatively, use Previous Versions to restore the DragonNest folder to pre-patch state and save a copy of the executable on the desktop.
You should be able to find out anything you need through google or the Dragon Nest Forums, espeically the New Players forum.
Pretty much everything except cash events or holiday events in other servers is applicable to whatever server you're playing on, so feel free to find info from there too.
I was hoping a Physician main would give an answer, but here's build that I use:
http://yadnss.herokuapp.com/bF7310-sJ13--N-4-73B0-AN1WFs0JWFA3P0-F31W0--B-F---W--3------.5K0
In Tinkerer tree, feel free to shift everything around except Health Bolster/Slip and Slide/Rise and Shine/Roto Whirl. You have 3 heals: Salve Slimer/Toxic Spill ex/Good Vibrations. When you get the ex for Toxic Spill, you will be able to heal by casting the skill then right click. I heal about 200k ish with Slime Shake, and with Shake+cd crest it's around 13s cd. I believe it actually heals more than Good Vibrations? Not too sure. When you heal, just beware that the range is very small. I have to be right next to them in order for the heal to reach.
Some builds use Frost Fangs because it does better damage than Toxic Surge and it casts faster.
Magma Monument/Ground Zero are maxed instead of Physician skills because the damage of those two are really good.
After Injection, you can right click to use Sleep Escape. With Injection, you can do heal transfer. If you use injection on a monster that damage is being dealt to, you will heal yourself 12%(if you did max Injection) of the damage being dealt to the monster. It is a bug, so might get/be fixed.
Just keep in mind that Physician will be reworked soon, and play style will change. You can read on the changes here: http://dragonnest.nexon.net/community/forum#%2Fshowthread.php%3F1282754-Physician-Revamp-Specifics%26nxid%3D62
I would be interested if you guys do the lvl 60~70 content for the first time (guardian nest, desert dragon nest etc). Would definitely watch. Also you may get more answers on the official dragon nest forums
Here's a level 70 Adept guide on the forums. Includes a PVE as well as PVE/PVP build, plus skill explanations.
That thread is a current ongoing discussion on Pyromancers.
This thread mostly has Ice Witch builds.
There was a change introduced to Elementalists 2 updates ago, so lots of people are having debates over what build would be the best.
Lunar Knights are doing well. They got a buff a while back that finally made them okay DPS. They are totally broken in other versions though, because they got yet another damage boost that makes them (almost ironically) the top DPS class in the game. We don't have that change yet in NA but will get it soon. I don't know much about that class other than that, though, so you'll have to scour the forums on your own for info on them.
You can try this guide, or more generally, the Archer subforum on the official forums
Um, I can't remember about the SP. :/ I think so? I used MMOsite's Skill Calculator for this.
I can't really say anything on jades and 70 gears because I haven't seen them personally. There's a guide on NA for the jades, though: link
For armor go for the Tribe Bound set and, I guess, go for magic attack jades + int jades for weapons? I have no idea. ._.
There is a download manager? I was worried because in the website it said: >Please note: The manual download cannot be paused. If stopped, the download will need to be restarted from the beginning.
Wizardry Online's registration for Beta is coming up,
It's an MMO with a chance for perma-death, I'm not sure if there are any other MMO's like that, but perhaps a roguelike has that feel (maybe Elona?).
As for gameplay, PSO has a slightly similar setup if you have the supporting console.
Dragon's Nest is a pretty cool action rpg/mmo if you can get past the child models and the cut-scene's camera angle's. Generally any of the newer Nexon stuff is going to have that similar action feel.
Free to play you say? Well that depends on some of your definition of free to play. There are several great games out there that are free with micro stores that give "Tiny" game advantages.
Spiral Knights (Spiralknights.com) is a top down Zelda style hack and slash mmo where your equipment levels up instead of the player.
Dragon Nest (http://dragonnest.nexon.net) is a fantasy based MMORPG with skill trees and fast paced free roam combat. All damage and avoidance is based on ur personal skill.
Another 2 nexon based rpg's are Vindictus and Maplestory, The first is a hack and slash medieval setting rpg, the latter being a 2dish side scrolling rpg with alot of grinding and goofy monsters.
Alteris (community manager) promises that the update is not just two dungeons.
Not to mention these two dungeons are Saints Haven dungeons! Level cap increase to 32 soon?
I hope you live in US, Canada, Australia, or New Zealand. Because I have been playing the open beta of Dragon nest. Its a twitch based MMO that feels a lot like Phantasy Star Online because of the dungeons and genderlocked classes. I hope this game keeps me busy until TERA online comes out.
