>What's Dark Ages?Dark Ages is an online role-playing game set in a fantasy world of faeries and magic. You can battle monsters as a mighty Warrior, protect and heal as a Priest, use powerful magic as a Wizard, use the devious skills of a Rogue, or discover virtue and power with martial arts as a Monk.Based on Celtic mythology, originally developed by Nexon and now operated by KRU Interactive. It is loosely based on the Korean game Legend of Darkness. >Site/ServerDark Ages site:https://www.darkages.com/index.htmlWe're currently playing on the Legends: Age of Chaos server:https://old.reddit.com/r/Darkages/comments/13nrgfw/legends_age_of_chaos_private_server/>Downloadhttps://drive.google.com/file/d/129wenGkWIuCbv5pP38arMpHfWKHW6zQE>Guildmight take a while to gather enough gold to start one. we can chat through 15 player party chat.>Class Infohttps://darkages.fandom.com/wiki/Tutorial_Book#Choosing_a_Class>Wikihttps://sevmccauley.wixsite.com/legends/>whyThis is part of the MMOdventure project where anons get together to play obscure/niché/old MMOscheck out the MMOdventure thread for further discussion:>>1510728
>Stat infoStrength allows you to hold more items and attack harder.Intelligence allows your spells to be stronger and do more damage.Wisdom allows you to gain more mana with each insight (level).Constitution allows you to gain more health with each insight (level).Dexterity helps your attacks hit accurately and dodge enemy attacks better.Because wis & con will award you with increased max health/mana every character level, it's best to level them early. >Min-maxing buildsMonk - Keep CON at least +10 lvl, at most +20 lvl for efficient hp gains. (Suggested to focus on CON early on up till Lv.35)Priest (Pure/No sub) - Focus on CON until it reaches 13 base, then place all of your points into WIS. Keep WIS at least +10 per Lv for efficient mp gains. Priest (Sub) - Keep WIS at least +20 per Lv, then place points into INT.Rogue (Pure/No sub) - Focus on CON until its at 18 then pump WIS to 38. Rogue (Sub) - Focus on CON until its at 20 then pump WIS to 13.Wizard (Pure/No sub) - Focus on CON until it reaches 13 base, then place all of your points into WIS. Keep WIS at least +10 per Lv for efficient mp gains.Wizard (Sub) - Focus on CON until it reaches 8 base, then place all of your points into WIS. Keep WIS at least +20 per Lv for efficient mp gains.Warrior (Pure/No sub) - Keep CON at least +30 per Lv.Warrior (Sub) - Focus on CON until it reaches 77 base then pump STR to 111.Keep in mind that some skills will require you to have certain stats to obtain them.
>>1520519We should post our in-game names here
>>1520519Does the game have a guild system?
>>1520700This might not be too necessary, I think anybody with an orange and maybe green name in the players list(third from the top on the right sidebar) is a new account and we're the only people signing up right now. If that doesn't work, then I suppose we could use https://pad.riseup.net/ to keep track of names.>>1520790It does have a guild system but it takes 5mil to set up. I'm not sure if we can pool together that amount in a reasonable amount of time.
>>1520519
I've collected some Gramail equipment that should help us tackle on Piet crypt from Lv. 17 to Lv. 26. Lets see if we can power through later today.
>>1521043people had smaller eyes back then
How are things going btw?Are you guys grouping up, how many people are playing, etc.?(I would like to finally join one of these games you guys are playing, but this one isn't working for me right now)
Do you guys keep or delete your characters at the end of the two weeks?
>>1521211it's a bit rough. we did some group slaying with 6 people though, that was kind of fun.>>1521340some people throw their items away / give them to the eventual anon that continues playing. I like to keep my chars mostly intact for the day that will never come where I get the overwhelming urge to play Ace Online again.
>>1521340most of the time I find a local who's been nice and mail all my stuff to them but if it's a game I return to like ECO, I keep my stuff.
i went to the 3rd floor of the crypt and got 1 shot by a bat... wiz feels really bad so just rolled a monk
btw what does levelling a skill do exactly? what's the difference between level 1 assail and level 100 assail
>>1521434Kick kept failing all the time at a low skill level. I'm not sure how it is with spells, I don't think I have seen one of those fail.

>>1521444is there any specific armor/accessories to focus on getting?
>>1521211I see roughly 8 - 15 hunting every now and then. Sometimes we group up for bigger hunts.>>1521340I keep them around in case i feel like playing it again. I often go back to PSU and recently Neocron.>>1521432That is normal for any class because the third floor is where the games main mechanics (elemental autism) kick in. Monk is a lot easier to handle though.>>1521434It depends on the skill and spell. Each level on Assail raises its accuracy.>Damage based abilities Accuracy and damage boost>Healing abilitiesHealing amount>Support & Class specific abilitiesSuccess rate>>1521447A set of Elemental necklaces & belts, Gold earrings, Leather bracers, Emerald & Spinel rings, Leather greaves
>>1521449Where do I get the elemental stuff? I only saw a fire belt in Sumoi so far.
>>1521452The necklaces can be found in Rucesion. For the belts Undine for Water, Earth for Piet, Fire for Suomi and Wind for Rucesion.
>>1521452water belt is in Undine and earth belt is in Piet, 10k each I think. I haven't found the necklaces myself.
>>1521456I should probably grab all of them right? Or should I get a specific one first.
>>1521460Melees are heavily dependent on them, yeah. Things change for belts at lv. 30 when you get access to Dark belts gained through a party quest from a map as a drop. I suggest you get 1 belt and 1 necklace and grind on C1 in porte forest Treants until you reach lv17. You should have enough money to buy everything that you need.
>>1521462huh the elemental stuff really does make a big difference
>>1521497
Where should I head off to grind once I hit level 15?
>>1521538East woodlands 3, Mileth crypt 3 or Porte forest C2
/group <playername> to invite people to partydon't have to be in same map
You can add people to your friends list so they appear green on the user list. Makes it easier to see if people are online to add them to the group I guess.

Rogue, ignore the 20 con 18 is fine
It's so thoughtful of them to install a bath in the sewers.
alright, let's get real. what is all this shit?
Double right-clicking on the dummy in the inn seems to auto-attack it.Does my "assail" skill level automatically this way? (and does my dagger lose durability?)
Ah, it does
Looks like it'll take a while to get to the next level of the skill:
>>1522171>>1522177macros for skilling up are allowed on this server according to the dumb pop-quiz they make you take, so grind away at the dummy. anon linked a pretty nice macro tool for dark ages here:>>>/v/696103537
>>1522181oh and we can force-invite you to the party if you want and have this button set to full G
I got a quest from a smith at the beginning, but I completely forgot what it was. I think I would've gotten some gear. Got some gear when I chose my class, so that's at least something.Going to level my assail while browsing for now. The guide says to keep auto-attacking for 4 hours.
>>1522212>I got a quest from a smith at the beginninghe wanted a whetstone from the marketplace in exchange for some novice gear. I wasn't able to find the market. The events tab in your ui acts as a quest journal.
>>1522291It's a guy in Rucesion who asks for a Viper's Gland.
>12 hours to max a single spell nowWizard was a mistake. Surely the experience for you non-wizards is so cheap that you're overflowing with gold and can chip in to my mana pot fund.
>>1522527Wizards have two ways to play it depending on the party composition. Despite having stronger version of spells, your main ones will always be 'beag' and this is due to how elements work in this game. I suggest not maxing everything, only meeting the requirements to learn higher tier spells.Spells to max:BeagPuinneag Spiorad (Drains MP out of monsters)Beag Cradh (Curse) and its higher tiersDachaidh (Teleport)Pramh (Sleep)Puinsein (Poison)Luasgadh (Slow)Comhdhail (Warp)Dall (Blind)Suain (Freeze)Marbhadh (Doom)Ards>During casual hunts in a partyWithout a Rogue present, you use 'beag' to "search" for the monsters weakness. If a Rogue is present that can read elements and the weak element is Water. Use beag creag (Earth) and alternate it with beag Athar (Wind). Basically you want to alternate spells that don't have big resistances follow >>1521517 to get an idea of what to combine it with. You lose out on a little damage by not using Creag (not beag) but you save on MP in the long run. Thankfully this server gave Wizards 'Cradh' spells, this curse is good enough support to provide second-hand damage to allow you to 'idle' while the others finish them off.>Mana burningBegin using an escalation of weak-to-stronger versions of the weak element until the monster is dead. For example, if the monsters weak element is Fire then you begin with beag Sal, Sal, Mor Sal, Ard Sal and then you finish them off with your Ultimate spells Strioch Bais (Light) or Driug Gar (Meteor).

good grinding
just found another wiki:https://legendsaoc.miraheze.org/wiki/Legends:_Age_of_Chaos
>>1523318Blue gang.
>>1523469
>>1523754This is the start of so many doujins
Good and bad news:Good- Legends increased the drop rate of the Dark belts. I was able to obtain 7 in less than 2 hours. The experience points you receive for finishing the quest has also been increased. Make sure to hunt for at least 3 belts before completing the quest.Bad- They reduced the amount of Gargoyle spawns in the Heart of Darkness (1,500 exp / kill) so the map isn't a good place to level up anymore. From the developer>"I'll be looking to host multiple events along with some raffles on 12/05 starting at 20:00 est. If we get a good turnout I'll also sponsor a kas mine run afterward (or a level appropriate hunt for lower players)These are essentially exp events and I suggest everyone to attend them for a little bump on those levels.
There's a backstab bonus in case people didn't already know. 2.25x multiplier for rogues and 1.5x for other classes.

Did we wanna cancel minigames this week? It's a bit of a shame we lost two days to the server being down, though on the other hand we didn't run minigames last week, either.
it could be down for a while

>Missed the first guild pic>Second guild pic won't happenIt's over
>>1534441yeah I'll set up the strawpoll
>>1534443If the servers still happen to be offline by the guild picture time, what about holding it sometime next week?

The servers will seemingly be down until midnight so we won't make it in time for guild photos. Guess we can always make some time for them later. Official DA site if anyone wants to mess around and discuss Twin Saga servers etc.https://www.darkages.com/index.html
Surprising the official server has this many users though you have to wonder how many of them are real players.
Looks like they have some kind of Christmas event going on.
>>1536816Why didn't we roll official?
>>1536896This is what it said in the server research section.>Has QoL improvements, removed the bloat from Official and it runs really well.>Devs are actual bros, they are willing to help out with just about anything.>Custom content isn’t a random addition like it usually is with Private servers. They put some thought into it by including battles from the original in-game lore, which were previously only available through texts. [Example Gameplay Video]>EXP rate is normal, but the exp needed per level is slightly reduced. Skill growth (Important for crafting!!) is x3 faster than Official, and Master is easier to achieve.Nym also already set some stuff up beforehand on the server so it was the simplest option.
>>1536896>Official 1-99 is pretty much skipped entirely using items that simply give exp, such as golden starfish & EXP/AP boxes. There are items that further double the exp gained from all sources including from these items, which you can purchase from the kruna shop. Official received the WoW Cataclysm treatment, and the possibility of us progressing as quickly as we did on Legends was low due to the modified rates. A lot of us would still be level 30s with some at higher 40s if we choose not to spend on premium and exp items. The locals on Legends were much more receptive than Official too, and from what we experienced they definitely delivered on that much needed help (for a game like this). Another tidbit that might have been an annoyance for many is that Official has 4 more elements Dark, Light, Nature and Metal which you needed to swap around to get optimal DPS, imagine swapping between 8 necklaces.
