Awesome Boosts from Expert Dimensions

Hey guys, for those who do not have access to Expert Dimensions in Wartune, check out the awesome boosts you get for completing one:

• +25% Will Crystal effect
• and +300 to resist reduction
• +50% to the resistance of the Expert Dimension element
• and another +750 to that resistance

Just "wow"! and thanks to Matt from s148 for sharing the picture. Also it seems there is no final boss in the Expert Dimension like we had in Intermediate and Advanced, which is a bit weird.

New angle on: How much crit should I have?

Hey guys, I've come up with a new and super easy angle to answer the popular question "How much crit should I have?" and the answer is...

 << Suspenseful music playing >>

a little bit more crit (2%-3%) than your biggest "enemy" :)

Cosmos' wisdom! :)

Why not a lot better? Because for something like crit, where we don't exactly know the formulas / mechanism behind, there is no need to spend lots of effort (especially when we have seen that a much higher crit stat does not guarantee more critical attacks).

Wartune WINGS: Stats, Formulas, Costs, Estimates

Hey guys, in this post I put together all information on wings in Wartune to serve as a good reference point. This includes stats by level, synthesis formulas and balen / USD costs as well as some future estimates. Let's start with stats:

Wing Stats by Level in Wartune

Some points of importance;

• For lower level players the percentage values are not so important as their character statistics are small values, so for them the absolute value is much more important. In these, the jump from Level 1 to Level 2 is the largest, so try to get Level 2 Wings - for low levels that is sufficient as the next significantly better level is Level 8 Wings, which is not realistic.
• For high level / BR players, PATK/MATK being the most important stat, the key milestones are Level 2 wings with 3% Attack, then Level 5 with 4%, then Level 8 and 9 with 5% and 6%, so don't worry too much about rushing from, for example, Level 5 to Level 6 - it's not that big of a deal.

Wing Synthesis Formulas per Level

For Level 2 Wings there are 2 options:

Level 2 Wings = Level 1 + Level 1
Level 2 Wings = Level 1 + 5 x Fashion Core

Level 3 to Level 9 Wings

Level 3 Wings = Level 2 + Level 2 + 5 x Good Luck Charm
Level 4 Wings = Level 3 + Level 3 + 10 x Good Luck Charm
Level 5 Wings = Level 4 + Level 4 + 20 x Good Luck Charm
Level 6 Wings = Level 5 + Level 5 + 40 x Good Luck Charm
Level 7 Wings = Level 6 + Level 6 + 80 x Good Luck Charm
Level 8 Wings = Level 7 + Level 7 + 160 x Good Luck Charm
Level 9 Wings = Level 8 + Level 8 + 320 x Good Luck Charm

Cost of Wings in Balens and in USD ($)

The base Level 1 Wings' official price is 1995 balens or $19.95

Balen / USD cost of Level 2 to Level 9 Wings

Level 2 Wings = 1,995 + 1,995 = 3,990 balens or $39.9
Level 3 Wings = 3,990 + 3,990 + 1,975 = 9,955 balens or $99.55
Level 4 Wings = 9,955 + 9,955 + 3,950 = 23,860 balens or $238.6
Level 5 Wings = 23,860 + 23,860 + 7,900 = 55,620 balens or $556.2
Level 6 Wings = 55,620 + 55,620 + 15,800 = 127,040 balens or $1270.4
Level 7 Wings = 127,040 + 127,040 + 31,600 = 285,680 balens or $2856.8
Level 8 Wings = 285,680 + 285,680 + 63,200 = 634,560 balens or $6345.6
Level 9 Wings = 634,560 + 634,560 + 126,400 = 1,395,520 balens or $13955.2

Future Wings Level 10 to Level 13 Estimates

Future Synthesis Formula Estimates

Update: I removed my estimates because Demonwolf810 confirmed exact figures from China.

Level 10 Wings = Level 9 + Level 9 + 640 x Good Luck Charm

Level 11 Wings = Level 10 + Level 10 + 1280 x Good Luck Charm

Level 12 Wings = Level 11 + Level 11 + 2560 x Good Luck Charm

level 13 not 100% confirmed, it's between 3000 and 3500, using 3200 here:
Level 13 Wings = Level 12 + Level 12 + 3200 x Good Luck Charm

Balen / USD cost of Future Estimates

Level 10 Wings = 1,395,520 + 1,395,520 + 252,800 = 3,043,840 balens or $30,438.4
Level 11 Wings = 3,043,840 + 3,043,840 + 505,600 = 6,593,280 balens or $65,932.8
Level 12 Wings = 6,593,280 + 6,593,280 + 1,011,200 = 14,197,760 balens or $141,977.6
Level 13 Wings = 14,197,760 + 14,197,760 + 1,264,000 = 29,659,520 balens or $296,595.2

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:
