EXP Books Compensation & Limits

Hey guys, so the maintenance of today in Wartune, among doing other things, gave out a compensation for the players of level 71+ (as of April 24th) due to the game changes which reduced the amount of experience required between levels 70 and 80. So that means the people who already walked the difficult road get this compensation.

The compensation was Experience Books - calculated super precisely. Ignoring the smaller books, you would get the following number of 500,000 EXP books:

           Level 71 - 29
           Level 72 - 66
           Level 73 - 115
           Level 74 - 179
           Level 75 - 262
           Level 76 - 386
           Level 77 - 561
           Level 78 - 816
           Level 79 - 1171
           Level 80 - 1663

And here is a screenshot from my mailbox:

So all together I got near 900 million exp in those books.

Now giving a compensation is a good thing, but not thinking is not very good. I saw a whole bunch of people in the chat who are already in their experience limit in Wartune and therefore got nothing at all from the books. Moreover, the books are not allowed to be sold, so you are sort of stuck with absolutely nothing if you are at or near your experience limit.

The second major mistake is that they only posted details in the forum and tons of players don't read the forum, so a lot of people used all the exp books in bulk and by doing this lost everything. Why? Because apparently there is a daily maximum of 40 million of experience allowed and anything above that goes to trash. So you get a second wave of anger against R2 for this second move of wisdom.

Finally, those who did not rush, who did the reading and those lucky enough not to be at the exp limit could feed the books very slowly into their talents. Now this 40 million - they did not explain clearly - is this on top of your regular daily EXP gain or in addition. So to stay on the save side I consumed only 20 million experience, which is 40 books and will just keep on taking 20 mil per day until they run out.

Status Cosmos Knight Level 80 Mage Level 58

Hey guys, here is a status report post on both my characters - Knight Level 80 and Mage Level 58 and, as always, my comments and tips and advice.

So first, I didn't post this yet, but here is my long awaited level up congrats screenshot when I became level 80 I think on the 25th of January:

So after that for about 1 month and right up to the February Class Wars I was finishing up collecting and enchanting my 70 set and I wanted to wait for that before posting the status because it looks awesome - I hide clothing now all the time, so here is my new look and my stats (200% Academy).

You will notice I focused a lot on MDEF to get that up as much as possible since Apollo, Gaia, Iris all do magic damage. I still have the rings as level 60, but for me those are really last priority - a few thousand health is nothing compared to the huge attacks I am receiving. The battle rating is beautifully just above 110k.

Next up the stats on my mage - you will notice that I am going for a full 50 legend set, again rings as last priority; then the 30 day medallion to conserve insignia as much as possible, although now that i got my equipment into legend i might start buying the more expensive ones. Also you notice a strong focus on MATK so I can earn more from the World Boss and kill opponents in Battlegrounds faster. Sockets are not fully done yet, I don't want to spend balens on the rods, so I am getting them slowly over time for free, got maybe 70% of what i need already.

Next, the pictures of my inventory, since people enjoy looking at the stuff that I have (or other people have) hehehe - let me know in the comments what is your biggest surprise or what you think is the coolest item(s) i have :)

and the bags of my mage as well where you will notice that anything to do with experience is stored in the guild vault because i am trying not to gain experience to hold level as much as possible:

Next up are the Astrals for both characters. Here you notice that i have gone to critical build on both characters partly cause its awesome and partly cause its a lot of fun to see the big damage numbers. On the Knight you see that last astral is really a wild card, I had illusion level 8, now i fed that to Guardian Angel which is giving me -40% critical received chance, which is also helpful in dungeons to get less crit hits from bosses. On the Mage you will notice I am absolutely unlucky and didn't get any nice astrals (got Blessed Health yellow 3 times - ridiculous) but I am trying to do the best with what I got raising Willpower to level 5 next.

...and lastly the sylphs that I have.

For my Knight I am really hesitating between Iris and Gaia. As I don't put money on my Knight I think for any free player / non-casher type of a player only 1 strong sylph is realistic to have. My Iris is 3 star blue already much closer to purple and also the benefits of Iris include the fact that in PvP she can pretty much 1 shot kill all the troops if they are alive (especially a good thing when thinking of the coming new stronger troops) and she is a fantastic friend to have when going to dungeons with your friends. While Gaia on the other hand is just super at one target killing. She is just somewhat risky in PvP that if you didn't manage to kill off the troops fast, which I think will happen more and more with the upcoming new troops then you will have a major problem of taking the risk with your delphic and hoping it will hit the player.

For my Mage life is easier, I used to have a blue Pan which was great as well and switched to Amazon when that came out as it is the best choice a mage can make since it's attack is PATK it munches through other mages like butter.

COSMOS Knight becomes Level 79

Hey guys, another big achievement for COSMOS Knight becoming level 79, so only 1 more level to go and I am at maximum and then the focus will go 100% on raising talents with full force of level 80 experience. So below you see the overview of the character and some comments / tips / explanations from me.

So first - my stats. Here to point out that academy buff is at 195% and this is my "normal" Will Destroyer mode. Crit build is 95k/96k around. Also to point out that I raised my MDEF considerably from below 11k to now 16.5k due to the sylphs magic attacks. Otherwise before I was enjoying a very high PDEF for class wars, but since sylphs came the rules changed a bit. Clothing is level 3 all. Fate is level 5. And note here I am with the Warlord's medallion so with a "normal" one the BR would be higher.

Next up we got the bags, i.e. all the items I have or as some people say all the items that I am hoarding. Some of the chests you will notice and might want to comment on - i just don't have the time to open them because I record the data as you know.

My sylph is a 3 star Iris. I did buy her rain dance for group healing with my locked balens, but I am not investing in her any more as I am waiting for new sylphs to come out before I use my saved up mahras and sepulcrums.

For the astrals below my WD build is my standard one with WD and illusion. I switch them with the top right Sniper/Determination combo for WB fights. All the others are flexibility astrals which I use if and when I need. Like guardian angel is very good in lych nm if you are tanking to avoid taking critical attacks by bosses. WD and Sniper there allow me to move around builds if I feel like it. Deflection is nice for class wars.

Runes I only have the first 3:

Talents are same as before that I posted. I haven't touched them at all since I am racing to level 80.

The good thing about skills is that at a high level you can have both EDD and Tenacity almost maxed:

and of course a small tribute to my lovely mount:

121 Guild Tree Energize

Hey guys, as you know, usually everyone has 20, 30, 40 or 50 guild tree energizes during the 15 minutes of "community experience gain" :P but I was pretty surprised to find out today that over in Russia on their Wartune servers people are such hard core gamers that they have energize counts well above us in Europe.

Below you will see a screenshot of 121 Guild Tree Energizes! Which means 121 accounts online and energizing the guild tree in their Wartune! And they told me that they will try to break their record and pass 130 or 140 guild tree energizes and send me an updated screenshot! * Wow! *

With 5 x exp buff during the event they are cranking out 169k experience per tick, which is phenomenal! The ticks come every 15 seconds in case you didn't know, so you get 4 ticks per minute for 15 minutes. That's 60 ticks per day per event which makes it more than 10 million experience just from the guild tree!!!

See picture below, the text there is Russian, I made the arrow to point to the 121 energizes. Russian Wartune players are mad gamers! :) Thanks to Rampage515 for sharing the info.

EDIT: update: i got a new screenshot - they managed to reach 137! :)
