Hi all, I have recently started on L2 EU, nostalgia got me and I needed to play some L2 again. The retail game has progressed so far it's quite overwhelming to make sense of it. I played in the C2 era, Seighardt server, also played some lower chronicle private servers in years gone by. I would like some help in getting started in this new world, let me explain. I've started out with a fresh account, set up a premium account to get a box, and currently levelling a Tyrr Titan and an Iss Doomcryer. Honestly, the Awakening classes were new to me too. I didn't have a problem with the 85 levelling speed because the game has come on so much, kind of makes sense. Although I will admit having the 'sub games' at each grade was great, in terms of levelling and playing (creating/selling soulshots, etc), like Catacombs for AA. The auto hunting/AFK style in the new world is ok, although I have been PK'd a few times running into parties, despite short-range/respectful hunting - I have questioned my choices here due to not being able to make full use of /useskillstand macros (unless I get a party and I can use my AoE skills, Sonic Star etc.). I am currently getting to 105 in BS. I think range classes are much better for this kind of playstyle... 1) what makes a good 2 man party for farming/sustain? 1a) archer/buffer(Doomcryer for Bison?), I saw this here - but req 3 premium accounts to run the full suggestion. 1b) archer/summoner Is my Titan/Doomcryer combo better at 105+? I don't really have a preferred character, I just want to enjoy the game and continually progress. In my reading, Wynn EM and Yul GS seem popular choices here. In terms of constant parties (CP?) at late game, what are the meta classes/party setups? I think I'm right in farming BS until 105, but what do I do for gear once I reach it? It looks like I need to buy the 27 Euro item on L2Store and sell it (I see this a lot in trade chat), then use the Auction House?? Or does this loop back to the Adena farming with a /useskillstand macros and time I have also noticed the mentor system, I'd like to make use of this but I don't know how to approach it, I have signed up to a few Clans but the application window provides fewer characters than a Twitter post. I believe Rune Stones are gained from killing bosses, I need a Clan realistically to get the opportunity there? Essentially, I am a fresh player to the new-world L2. Can someone guide me in getting started/catching up? Thanks
Hello new player! In order to progress in our current patch of Lineage II all you need to do Is to pay real money! Have a good day. ( 4.000€ might be enough to get started and enjoy basic content of the game)
From my experience here some facts: 1.yulls are the most expensive chars to play(mainly coz you need DW and DW Bows are uber expensive). 2.Yulls VS Tyrrs you need same setup only weapon is different(yes, tyrrs are playing with skills now) so difference between those classes is just round 200 bil. 3.Wynns are dead, they scale horible wrong 110+.... no debate here. 4.Bison and VoP got a ninja nerf last update...from pskill crit damage to pskill power, probably not first and second choice for iss class. 5.For DD+ISS pair first choice is hierophant with his PoM...no debate here. 6.Choosing your class is bound with how much $$$ you want to invest, for example: a mid gear yull without DW is really useless. 7.Game rly start at 110 and mid gear(higher is better ofc), till then you will make little adena...barely to buy ssr. 8.Next update is on 3 march, we will get some fancy stuff including free runestones...better wait. 9.Regarding clans...no high lvl clan recruit low lvls, you can enter in any public clan if they have no penalty 10.Regarding mentor, just shout on red chat I need mentor ... 11. Latter in game this version become more solo...but a good CP will sound like this: Healer Cardinal+Tank ST+ISS BD+2 Yulls GS+1 Feoh SS+1 Tyrr and in addition out of party ISS Dominator with VoP. 12. Catching up...almost mission imposible Just follow the quests...you will get many good free items as reward. Dont let yourself influenced by frustrated ppl, you can have lots of fun with only few $$$ If you remember this game is a long term playing game...you will build your toon in time.
Game is broken, now it's afk based game with 0 income at lower levels. Unless you like endless grind.
Thank you for the replies This is the sort of information I need to base a decision on... 1 & 2) So Tyrrs are a decent choice generally speaking? 3) I didn't know this, I still see some solo farming but I am only in BS. Are Othell dead also? 4 & 5) Ok, Hierophant to replace my Doomcryer 6) What is the breakdown here, I think it comes back to what is viable / worth investment, that I cannot gauge. (eg. spend lots of time grinding Titan or GK to 110+ only to find they are useless) 7) Makes sense! 8) Are you referring to Wild Horizons? https://www.lineage2.com/news/wild-horizons-patch-notes 9) Got it, I will wait until a bit higher, I was just hoping to find some parties without running / random when I see people 10) I could do this, I would prefer someone who I could get a little guidance from though - along with the buffs/rewards 11) Iss BD/SD? A viable main character then? Iss BD and box Hierophant party good for solo play too? 12) Currently grinding 40k Slayer's Proof for Exalted haha
I was thinking my self on this setup but on current update i dont think is viable. I mean for field farm under 110 could be, hard but possible...after 110 no way.
