T3 leapstones are good value, that's the only thing I buy. Also because I'm mostly leapstone or shard capped, and shards I get a bunch every week from events but leapstones not so much. I'm also buying some T2 shit in advance for lance, I don't plan on maining her or anything but I figure if I can boost her to T3 asap it's still gonna be worth it, probably. And yeah weekly rapport pack, and sometimes the leap essence packs, but not much more.
Na I was curious the other day so went to check what's the rate nowadays, and it was fucking 1euro for 400g, the same as the currency exchange. They tell you it's 1$=1k in ingame ads sometimes but I checked a few google results and one of the luterra spammer sites and they were all the same price. They're definitely fucking with the bots. It's just they're slow as shit to react to anything, like how it took them 3weeks or whatever to fix rapport farming. To fix the ads in the party finder they basically need Smilegate to make them a patch to fix it probably. They could have an employee sit there and flag that shit manually but I think like every GM thing they have minimum wage employees and outsourced companies to do customer service, and they don't want to give them any ingame power to avoid any PR nightmare when one of them abuse it.
Gotta say, I'm super impressed by this as I've started to grind out 100%'s. I've got the first 3 done and Tortoyk, Anikka and Shushire seem like decently easy ones. Arthetine looks a bit tougher. And the 8th I'm just going to hate.

as I mentionned in the posts I actually didn't get too many legendary gifts from vendors, they're really not common, I only farmed merchants for like 2, or 3 days I forgot exactly, but I only got like 4 or 5 legendaries from that. I had a bunch from island quests(a few give boxes), events(login events the first month, welcome challenge, shit like that) and starting week 3 of the game I bought out every weekly rapport packs in the shop(they sell 1 legendary box + 3epic boxes for 120crystals, x5 times a week, all selective). That's where all the legendaries came from, not really the merchants. The merchants did have a lot of epic gifts though, and while these look meh, they add up really quickly. A lot of gifts are 330points, and if you get the "right" ones it's 450(selective boxes always give you these, and merchants give you some for specific NPCs, for example Yuul in Anikka or Morina in Yudia). You can usually buy 4-5gifts every 30mins or so, sometimes less sometimes more, but yeah camp that for a few hours every day and you come out with a lot of "free" rapport.
I have one t3 paladin now and a second that will be t3 next week. The one t3 paladin should be 1340 with the rest of my alts this week. But, it'll be weeks before it's ready to push to 1370. My second wardancer will be 1370 well before then which is okay since I don't see too many(any?) wardancer alts in the guild.
Honestly that sounds like a healthy amount of ressources. A lot of ppl who missed the boat are struggling with less than 5k gold, 55k offers you a nice cushion. For the weekly boxes I missed like 3 resets of them since I didn't think they were worth it early on, and even now I'd argue it's only worth if you can spend the gold(if you're T3 with several alts), but 600blue crystals a week on them isn't that bad for me, I usually make 10-15k gold a week or so, not entirely sure because I basically spend a bunch of the excess every few days on blue crystals or honing to stay roughly at the same amount. 600 blue crystals at current EU prices is around 2400g which is fine. Could do without them though, the fact the legendary boxes are selective is a big selling point of these boxes, but since I have very high virtue, selective legendaries are about exactly the same as random ones for me, since I'm not bombing any NPC anyway. It's still better value than the mari shop ones(1leg is 83, 3selective epics is 56 so 139 vs 120) so I still buy these, but I don't touch the mari ones.

did and make a 2nd account for free, make new characters for nothing with free powerpasses and get double the log in rewards, double the Una's gold, and twice as many gold lockouts.. Koreans really are a dumb breed and seem to tolerate these companies straight up bricking in their mouth. Although us retarded Western round eyes seem to be just as dumb it seems.
