Now I hope I get a few advanced jewels/crystals so I can pay for one >.>
The "penalty" is 50 MA? Not 25%?
Or are you saying the average Bishop will now lose 50MA replacing his e-wand with another type of wand/staff?

The latter. And when you have over 1000 MA, a reduction of 50 MA is like, 5% or something?

50 Magic is a lot though ._. That's 9 levelups right there.
I welcome the change anyway.

wow, gonna have to agree with this being quite possibly the greatest patch ever. I hoarded for maker(though not nearly as much as some) and have like 80 packs of iTCG to use. Plus cygnus is badass, and vicious hammer may be gamebreaking. This is a patch made of win. Now all i want is fantasy themepark.

Compare that to the 140% damage to the 175% damage AMs get from the boost. Even though I have an ele staff 4, an ele staff 3 would boost my damage from 154% to 175%.

At least they were nice enough to tell us half an hour ahead of time.
And yes, I am amazed at the 80 ITCG also. You just happen to come upon them or something..? Cause buying 80 packs never knowing they'd be useful again seems kindof odd to me 0.0

and lol , leeching or not.. training w/o a bishop is slow , mr supernerd.. but sure you wouldnt know since youre only lvl 77
Training with Hero + BM + HS mule at Oblivion 4 is faster than training with a 1HKO Bishop at Skelegons.
On topic: Nothing really excites me about this patch. I will milk all those damage whores out of all their money because of Maker but that is it. Cygnus is alright I guess but that is not enough to mark this patch as "best one ever".

actually, i had bought a box of set 1 a while back, then realized that gamestop was selling set 2 (and some set1 they had left) online for i think it was 99 cents each, so i just ordered like 60 packs. Just have been waiting for a while.
I didnt know at the time they were broken lol.

^ First of all, "just shut up" makes you sound like an idiot.
Secondly, they said that about Balanced Furies, among other things. Just because you're mad because they changed it doesn't mean you have the right to attack other users.

Honestly, if it's a 50 magic reduction then that still gives me more magic than a decently scrolled shine wand and I still have enough magic to 100% 1 hit with, I thought they'd do a little better than that.

To be fair, I can see why a lot of Bishops may have purchased an elemental wand. I mean, the things were out for a year, and there was no indication that Nexon would plan on changing them beyond the first update. Even in their tickets, they essentially said "It's working the way it should be working," and the fact that they differed from other versions meant nothing, because we have a lot of exclusive content, anyway.
I would be lying, though, if I said that I didn't have a pomegranate-eating grin on my face when I read the notice.
EDIT: I'm pretty sure the reduction is 25%, no? Where is everyone getting "50" from?

Speaking of iTCG, though slightly off-topic, there's a GameStop near me (30 mins away) that sells booster-set 1s for 99 cents each, they have about 20 packs. They probably have set 2 too, I just didn't ask yet. Glad they're fixing the iTCG issue regarding this new patch. =) That's a step-up for Nexon, but since they banned 1000+ people within a day YESTERDAY, that's also a step-down for Nexon. Overall, they're still the same ol' Nexon...
