Thumbs up

All quests inside the Golden Temple have been removed.

Thumbs down

If it includes that "Recycled Ticket" quest...

ANOTHER NEW SERVER?


ARE YOU SERIOUS NEXON?

Oh pomegranate.
This is going to suck.

Oh.my.god

2nd.

I don't even understand...post a blog about server merges and population issues yet keep shitting out more servers. Counter-productive much?

Happy that Golden Temple is back though, assuming you can still get the daily free ticket thing.

I can smell offtopicness about Nexon losing money right now. -points at Golden Temple-

Man, if Nexon is seriously not giving us the daily 30 minutes in Golden Temple this time...

I can smell offtopicness about Nexon losing money right now. -points at Golden Temple-

It ain't off topic when you're right.
You hear that, Viaje???

It's not right at all. Wanting more money isn't necessarily the result of not making as much money.

Profession Boom Up Event - 07.11.2011 - 08.09.2011

Requirement: Lv.30 or higher
* 2x chance to earn an item of your harvesting profession rank or higher while harvesting.
* 10x chance to earn an item of your crafting profession rank or higher while crafting.

What does this mean?

* Golden Temple monsters now have a very high chance to drop Lv.35-64 Maple weapons and even Reverse and Timeless weapons!

lol.

It's not right at all. Wanting more money isn't necessarily the result of not making as much money.

Yes, but taking 2 more jobs probably is.

What does this mean?

I think the 2x chance for harvesting means it won't fail as much when you're farming higher ranked herbs.

Same applies to 10x chance to craft higher ranked (if it increases % for premium, this event might actually be worth doing...)

* Golden Temple monsters also have a chance to drop Musical Note Chairs.

Booo! Hissss! Boooo!

I think the 2x chance for harvesting means it won't fail as much when you're farming higher ranked herbs.

Same applies to 10x chance to craft higher ranked (if it increases % for premium, this event might actually be worth doing...)

Or we might get more imps and crap.

Or we might get more imps and crap.

You're right, I forgot about those. :/
But this probably means we get both the seed and the flower from one herb.

Depending on the drop rate of Timeless/Reverse in the Temple, I might get some guildies to sell me NX for tickets. x.x

For crafting, they both seem unrealistic because, with a 10x chance of crafting the item, you could craft every item in the game at a 100% chance at lvl 2(I know it's not true, I failed crafting a lvl 120 belt with lvl 5 jeweler), and with 10x chance of premium, if its true, I should be getting 80-100% chance of premium on everything I make which isn't true either.
