The... astromancer outfit? You mean the one from last event? All you had to do was complete 3 Daily Challenges 3 days in a row. What does Midnight Skypetal Plains have to do with that? You could have literally soloed most of the lower-level dungeons during the prior event, joined parties for higher-level dungeons, farmed moon buds in Moon Refuge, fought Koldrak... there were SO MANY WAYS to get 3 DCs done... why were you focusing on getting to st 3 in MSP?

Not every Wednesday. In fact, I posted the thread shortly after the last time it happened (yesterday).

100% agreed. I was actually talking about this with my s/o the other day. The trans and prem crystals use untradeable mats anyways... why not just make them account-bound? It would save a lot of headaches... especially if you have a character who's stuck with some of them and can't use them anymore.

Hey all! I'm trying to figure this out, mainly because it's getting a little frustrating. It feels like, what seems like at least once a week, I'll be playing the game and while loading, I'll suddenly get the "Package Files are Corrupted" error and have to perform a Scan File and fix on the launcher in order to get things working again. The thing is that, seeing how it's happening at least once a week, I feel like this is a temporary solution and I'm considering looking for something a bit more permanent. Has anyone else been noticing this issue and, if so, do you know anything that might fix the issue?

TL;DR - "I quit the game and, since I'm such an enlightened being, you all must follow my example and quit too." I've seen these kinds of threads on multiple MMO forums and they always come off as self-righteous fluff... and here's the thing about that. 1) Nobody knows who you are, let alone cares you're quitting. 2) If you are quitting, why waste your time making this thread? 3) How about you let people enjoy playing the games they enjoy? Instead, you spend an hour making this essay to convince people to follow your lead... for what? Since I've seen this type of thread repeated countless times before, I'll respond with something I've heard countless times as well. "Sure you are... see you in a week."

This is going round and around with nonsense, so I'm just going to explain it plainly. In order to do get the Weekly Challenge remnant, you don't ever have to do Silversteel. All you need to do is: 1) Botany Center, Titan Chamber, Hall of the Keeper, Hall of the Templar (all are super easy nowadays and people do them all the time, just remember mechs for BC and TC) 2) Do daily dungeons in the cross server. Focus on Brood Chamber, Warped Citadel, Cathedra Cliffs and Halcyon Hills (but in all honesty, doing all available dungeons is a good idea) Doing 5 or so dungeons will net you those last 2 Weekly Challenges, giving you 6 WC completed, giving you the remnant. Remember that, even if the dungeon is not part of the Daily Challenge for that day, it will still drop the remnant. So doing the following dungeons once a day will net you remnants: -Heaven's Mandate* -Cold Storage* -Drowning Deeps -Sandstorm Temple -Ransacked Treasury -The Shadowmoor -Dreamsong Theatre -Brood Chamber -Warped Citadel -Cathedra Cliffs -Stonescale Passage -Hangar Zero -Halcyon Hills -Naryu Sanctum* Please not that the dungeons marked with an asterisk are not currently being nerfed for the event. While doing HM and CS are still very easy to do, Naryu Sanctum might be a bit too much for you and can be skipped. Also, with the dungeon nerfs, it's entirely possible to solo a good chunk of these dungeons. DD, ST, RT and TSM should all be doable. DST, BC and WC are possible with enough DPS. CC and H0 can be done easily enough with any party while essentially ignoring mechs (though melee characters might have some issues in H0 when the sensors come up). The only nerfed dungeons that will still require some mechanics are Stonescale Passage and Halcyon Hills. For Stonescale Passage, you need to remember that both final bosses must die at close to the same time or else the party will wipe. Pay attention to chat and communicate when to kill or hold DPS. The player in Soul Separation cannot see both health bars, so you need to make sure to tell them when it's okay to kill their target. More likely than not, it will take them longer to kill their boss, so communicate with the rest of the party to stop DPS (usually something like "stop out" to indicate to everyone outside of SS to stop attacking) when the boss has less than 10% HP (and the boss inside SS still has more than 10%). Ultimately, the main thing to remember is communicate and kill both bosses at the same time. It's not actually that difficult. For Halcyon Hills, only the first boss has any real mechanics to deal with... but again, if you don't do them, it's a wipe. Upon starting the fight against this boss, he'll go into the sky and begin throwing lightning AoEs at everyone in the area. The safest thing to do is to move sideways (left to right/right to left) to avoid the areas the lightning will hit, then when they do hit, reverse direction and go the other way (it's not necessary, but it keeps people from running into each other's areas and potentially getting them hit by the attack meant for you). While you're dodging lightning AoEs, 3 players will get a gold target symbol appear under their feet. After about 1 or 2 seconds, one of the monkeys surrounding the area will throw a peach/rock. Those who have the target symbol must use a block skill to catch the peach. If you successfully caught the peach, keep dodging lightning until the boss begins preparing a big attack. When he does, press LMB to throw the peach at him, knocking him down to the ground where you all can attack him (hit him with everything you've got, because after one spin attack he'll do, he's going to go back on his cloud and the mechanic begins again). If nobody knocks him off his cloud, his big attack will wipe the party. However, that's all you need to know for mechanics in Halcyon Hills. Also... remember to interact with one of the 6 large jugs in the map (1 for each party member) before reaching the final boss. You need a jug before fighting the final boss in order to complete the Daily Quest in order to get the remnant. I've already gone long enough explaining all of this to make things easier, so I'll leave it at that. You can work out getting the other remnants on your own. There's 1 week left. After that, they'll probably put keys for NCoin in the Hongmoon Shop if you're desperate.

I actually would like this as well...

Honestly, I cleared the entire event on my Astromancer and, from what I can tell, they don't have "omnidirectional blocking". All I do for the boss fight is face the boss, walk side to side to avoid the red AoEs (that stun you), reverse direction every time the lightning strikes and wait to see if I get a gold mark. Once I've avoided the AoE area that indicates where the lighting is going to hit, I tap the block button and that's all it takes. Remember that there are 3 peaches that are thrown by the monkeys. That means there's 3 people to knock Wonkey Kong down for the mechanic to work. But, once you get used to just learning how to sidestep the AoEs and when to block the peaches, you should be okay. Even then, if you make a mistake, there should be 2 other people to do it too. And, if people keep yelling or telling you off... remember that there's 3 people doing the mechs. That's a 1 in 2 chance they're also failing the mechanic. And if they're being particularly rude... cut your losses and find a more competent party.

It takes about 5/6 hours a day to get the max amount of pearls you can turn into remnants a day. If you're already part-way done, you can do less if need be.

First and foremost, you still have about 2 weeks to complete the event. A lot of people are already done. Second... you can still do the dungeons for the remnant even when it isn't a DC for the day. You can collect a remnant from the dungeon each day no matter what. Of course, getting 7 Daily Challenges also nets you a remnant you will need, so it's in your best interest to do every dungeon that can give a remnant from Halcyon Hills down to Drowning Deeps as well as Heaven's Mandate and Cold Storage. Remember that Hollow's Heart and Starstone Mines are no longer done in DC rotation, nor do they give remnants. What you're going to want to do every day is: -All of the above-mentioned dungeons -Fight Refreshed Naksun in Mushin's Tower -Do "You Get a Gold Star" (participate in 1v1 arena - you don't need to win) -Do Midnight Skypetal Plains as far as the stage 2 boss and clear the dynamic by looting the chest Sacred Longgui drops -Farm spiders in Moon Refuge Additionally, every week, do 6/7 weekly challenges (you can get 2 weeklies from doing the dungeons every day, though getting into Silversteel will speed things up) and do Throne of Oblivion. The trickiest thing right now will be fishing. You need to fish 100,000 pearls... and you can only turn in 12,500 pearls a day to get the fishing-related remnants (limit 5 per day). It is a time sink, but it is doable. If you can join Scarlet Conservatory and get the remnant there, it would be helpful... but, if you're doing all of the above things as much as possible, you'll be able to buy the remnant with every spare remnant you don't need (convert them to the armorer's token items and buy the SC remnant for 80). The event is halfway done... and, like I said, many people have completed it already. It's possible... but you'll need to be diligent. Good luck.

So... just to point out (although many others already have)... the Gilded Triangular gems that are being given out are not only locked to that specific character (meaning you can't transfer them), but they cannot be upgraded to higher stages or dismantled for gem powder. Simply put, they're locked gems you can't do anything with. The gems you put so much work into still can be upgraded and even turned into dyads if you want, so they still have value. You can even dyad the gems you have and obtain these untradeable gems to go into the extra slots if you want. But honestly, I find the best use for these undradeable Gilded Triangle gems is for your alts. It's not overly difficult to gain these gems (they can be obtained with Moonlight Buds in Moon Refuge), so you get these for alts and save the upgradeable gems for your main.

Jin only or Gon only for Warden? It seems like (especially due to the trailer), Warden was being set up to being another Gon exclusive.

Funny you should say that... because in long days past... Yun DID actually have an exclusive class... and guess which one? Your sworn class - Force Master. And there's an example of the reverse side of the so-called "favouritism" - Yun's complete stripping of anything to call their own. You might ask why Yun lost the exclusivity of Force Master? Was it because of Lyn (because we can't have enough Lyn bashing as it is)? But pretty much any race can use FM... so why not only Yun and Lyn? Oh, my friends... it wasn't the devs that were to blame... oh no... much like the OG Soul Fighter nerfs (to a class that wasn't even broken), the Yun losing FM exclusivity was caused by... whiny community members. And why was that? Because they didn't want a gender-locked class. With that being said, I kind of love the fact in this thread that it's been mentioned that Lyn shouldn't be Assassins. I think that's kind of hilarious when you actually see that the most successful assassination in the game - with a dagger no less - was by a Lyn. In fact, quite a few Lyn carry daggers... though seemingly less for combat reasons. However, y'know what else I've noticed? There's another Assassin... one of a race not allowed... and surprise surprise... it's a Yun. Ya, in the story, there's a Yun Assassin in Valindria's ranks... and she's a major supporting character! But with all of this said... it makes you wonder... why even have exclusive classes anymore anyways? Let's make Jin Summoners and Yun Kung Fu Masters and everything in between.

Honestly, with the event... you're not going to have any difficulty other than the countless hours of fishing (which I still think is a bit too much). For the sake of it, I'll explain what I'm generally doing to get remnants. When you see how this goes, you'll see that it's not actually all that bad. First thing I do when I log on is: -Go to Moon Refuge and do "A Midnight Bummer's Dream" (usually via spider farm) for 1 simple remnant. -Go to Mushin's Tower and defeat Refreshed Naksun on floor 15 (Yunsang and Yeoharan might be a bit tricky, but Naksun should be manageable). -Grab the PvP daily quest "You Get a Gold Star", then go into the 1v1 arena and participate in 3 duels (don't need to win... just do 3 duels) -Go to Zaiwei and join a Midnight Skypetal Plains run for stage 1 and 2 to get the MSP remnant (you only need to get the st 2 dynamic completed for the remnant) -Enter Cross Server Dungeon and do every dungeon that gives remnants from Halcyon Hills down. With the dungeon nerfs, these are a cakewalk. You can solo DD to TSM easily. And... after all of that... auto fishing to get my 5 daily fishing remnants... which is the only major chore in this whole event. Other than that, all you need to worry about are 3 remnants: 1) The weekly challenge remnant. Do Botany Center to Hall of the Templar. If you want to try joining Silversteel, you can, but you don't need to. If you're doing all of the cross-server dungeons like I mentioned before, you'll get weekly challenges from doing a bunch of some of the higher level dungeons. It says you need Halcyon Hills and Naryu Sanctum clears 5 times for those weeklies, but you can also do Brood Chamber, Warped Citadel and Cathedra Cliffs (I think Stonescale Passage too?) to get those weeklies. You just need to kill those final bosses about 5 times... which if you're doing them every day... is pretty much going to complete itself. Trust me, with the event gear and the event dungeon nerfs, clearing any dungeon below Naryu Sanctum should be easy. Other than Halcyon Hills, Stonescale Passage and to a lesser extent Warped Citadel, you won't even need mechs. Just raw DPS will do it. 2) Throne of Oblivion's remnant. There's plenty of people doing ToO. Getting a run shouldn't be hard. The mechs for that raid aren't that difficult either and even if you die, you can 4 up and rejoin the fight. Very little pressure honestly... and you only need 1 or so remnants from here. 3) Scarlet Conservatory's remnant. You COULD buy a clear from someone running it... but if you're diligent and are doing the steps I mentioned early on, you can save up the extra remnants you've been collecting, convert them into those Armorer's Remnants and, when you have 80, buy the Scarlet Conservatory Remnant outright. Also, considering how the SC remnant is needed for the final key, you can do this near the end of the event... so as long as you're doing all the dungeons you can, this shouldn't be an issue. Do remember that, even if the dungeons aren't in the Daily Quest, they still give remnants. So still do Cold Storage, Heaven's Mandate, Drowning Deeps, Sandstorm Temple and so-on every day. Again, these dungeons are nerfed so heavily that clearing them often takes little to no time... especially with a decent party. Again, the only thing I dislike is the fishing... you'll need at least 12500 pearls a day minimum to buy the 5 remnants related to them from Dragon Express... and you need about 40 of those remnants. It works out to a total of 100,000 pearls... and that's kind of insane. It's a TON of AFK fishing... a good 4 or so hours a day.

Just so you know... the free triangles they keep giving out... and the ones you can get at Moon Refuge? They're not "Hongmoon" gems. This means they're locked to the character you get them on AND you can't upgrade or salvage them for powders. The good thing about these gems is that you can put these on alts and save any upgradeable gems for your main.

Honestly (and I saw your thread mentioning this as well), it's actually very easy to obtain any of the remnants revolving cross-server dungeons. Literally, the only one new players will have difficulty with is Naryu Sanctum. Every other dungeon has been heavily nerfed for this event's duration. This means you can do all the way up to Halcyon Hills with little to no effort. Only a couple of dungeons might need mechanics (Stonescale Passage and Halcyon Hills boss 1) and even then, it's super easy. I've done Halcyon Hills a bunch already. The first boss mechanics is not bad at all and the second boss doesn't even need any. Plus their HP has been dramatically reduced. Quite frankly, this kills much of my concerns for the event. It's not difficult in the slightest to run all the dungeons that give remnants in the cross server (save for Naryu Sanctum) every day. The Arena remnant is also super easy... all you need to do is set up the "You Get a Gold Star" daily quest, go into 1v1 3 times (win or lose) and you get the remnant. MSP only requires the Stage 2 dynamic quest (and tons of people are running them now for remnants). Throne of Oblivion MIGHT be tricky, but there's tons of people running them, so it shouldn't be overly hard to get. Quite literally, the only remnants I'm at all concerned about are the fishing one... because that's a TON of fishing you need to do. Although, to be fair, I am halfway done on that too... mainly due to afk fishing while I go to work (I'm not comfortable doing it... but it's possible). Me personally, I wish they'd lay off on the fishing requirements as much, because it's kind of absurd. Everything else, however? It's very manageable.

Going to post an update on my original post... but honestly... after the 1st day, I can say a few things pretty safely. First and foremost, this event does seem a LOT more doable than originally expected. The main reason being the massive dungeon nerfs have pretty much made them a breeze to complete, making them easily to go through with virtually any group. You MIGHT need to do mechanics in some harder dungeons, but so far, even Hangar 0 was a joke with one 1800 AP destro and a group of event-geared characters. That being said, I'm still seeing quite a bit of gatekeeping and elitism. A lot of people running Botany Center to Hall of the Templar are either asking for stupid requirements (one guy was spamming GC+, 8 full slots) or are simply not taking people they deem not "good enough" without requirements. It took quite a while for me to find a party for WC. I'm still also seeing TB+ requirements for some dungeons in the cross-server (which at this point is like asking for GC+ for Sogun's Lament). So, it's going to be up to the community to stop their nonsense. Fishing is still the biggest issue, though - I've yet to get even enough pearls for the daily 5 remnant limit as it is. I'm still going to say that above everything so far, this is going to be the biggest sticking point for this event. I'd like to hope they put some into the hongmoon store like they did with the Ebon Realm remnants... but we'll just have to see. But I will say that, for the most part, this event does look doable.

Although, ironically... it probably wouldn't be a lot of work from them... if you look at the Archer's weapons they have included, you see they did a lot of recolours, probably more than other weapons.

To respond to Grimoir and ImmoutoMaster... I don't see there being much problems in any of the dungeons below CC for F8. That can be done (I know from experience on the last time they did this event). I'm not even all that worried about having to fight Naksun/Yunsang/Yeoharan (as less experienced people can probably just farm Naksun), though we aren't 100% sure how boosted they've been made (as the notes say they have been powered up). The 3 major ones I'm concerned with are: Weeklies - Although you can do (and will be doing) CC naturally for remnants, that still leaves Silversteel. I'm not expecting a lot of people to take GC1 characters into that weekly. It's going to be a struggle finding runs. NS and HH - Sure, bring revivals, know the mechs... but, well... see above. Fishing - I think we can all agree that expecting double the already large number of pearls from the last C2A event is insane. Not everyone can just leave their games running most of the day. Remember that this all comes alongside the Astromancer class and many people (myself included) will be using this event to gear up their new character. That means 0 pearls to start off with. One trick I used in the last C2A was doing some AFK fishing on the week before, so I was ready. This time, that's not an option. And, as I stated, the last C2A required 50,000 pearls... but THIS one requires 100,000 - double the amount! With the 1st and 2nd points, we run into the same issue and one that keeps rearing it's ugly head - relying on a toxic community to get things done. Remember that most of the people doing this event are using it to gear characters (in most case new characters due to the Astromancer class dropping). So, low-gear characters now need to try to join runs of dungeons that are already being gatekeeped by high-geared players demanding high-gear requirements for dungeons. We already see GC9+ or TB+ for Silversteel time and time again.. or they just ignore you when you apply if they don't post a requirement. It's not much better with MSP and Halcyon Hills or Naryu Sanctum? There's going to be a lot of people who just can't do the event due to elitism. And that's the main sticking point for this event. It expects the community to come together in a way it rarely, if ever does... or pay money... which is what they expect everyone to do once those players get frustrated of never getting the clears they need. So yes, the event needs some reworks to be doable. Please continue spreading the word and hopefully, they'll consider it.

I mean... that is kind of the point I mentioned near the bottom of my post... and honestly, it's true. It very much seems like they're forcing unobtainable goals in order to force the key bundles. Additionally, the prior keys were sold in bundles... meaning if you only needed 1 key, you needed to buy a bundle containing keys you didn't need. It's a pretty dirty trick... but the last event was much more manageable. Heck, even with some hiccups, I was still able to clear it. This time, though? It does not look doable at all.

I'm honestly glad they removed most of the raid requirement remnants (BT/VT/etc) as one bad raid and you were locked out for a week (it happened to me and my s/o last time). Taking Den of the Ancients was also a good idea (though you could buy that remnant). The fishing especially is ridiculous. Not everyone has the ability to fish 100k pearls... even if it's AFK, not everyone can just let their game run for hours upon hours a day. Plus, you need 8 solid days to claim the pearls, since you can only turn in 5 at a time. Finally, as I mentioned before, making characters do Halcyon Hills and Naryu Sanctum (not to mention Silversteel) while having GC 1-6 weapons is insane. Very few people are going to do those dungeons with people. It's going to be a nightmare to even find parties, but trying to get 9 clears? That's a bit too much. I sincerely hope that @Hime and the rest of the staff see this post and consider this. The simple things I mentioned above (less Angler Pearls, 4 weeklies instead of 7 and making Extraordinary Training Remnants purchasable with remnant exchange) would go a long way towards making this event balanced and, well, let's face it, doable.

Well... generally speaking, it's not overly difficult to find the items you should or shouldn't get. When it comes to items that have 2-3 versions, they tend to come catered either to PvP versus PvE or they're ordered based on the class path. For example, if you're a Blade Master (which has 3 specs) and you wanted to know which of the bracelets from Circle of Sundering to get, there's 3 bracelets. The first is for 1st spec, the second for 2nd spec and the third for 3rd spec in that order. The same would go for your Gunslinger. The first bracelet goes to the 1st spec (left to right), which I believe is Fire and the second bracelet goes to 2nd spec (which I think is Dark). Now, the easiest way to tell if a weapon/accessory is for your spec or another spec of your class is just to hover over the item with your mouse and look at the tooptip. It will generally list what skills it enhances, if not straight-up tell you which path it's made for. You can use this to easily determine if that piece of gear is for you or not. With that being said, there are a few items worth going over. First and foremost is your Soul Badge. These help boost skills and create some useful synergies that help your combat, rotation and damage. In your case, you want to get the Liberty soul badge as early as possible. The easiest way to do that right now is buying Liberty Tokens... but it may run you some gold to get the 70 tokens. While working towards that badge, do Trial Arena and Tower of Infinity as possible to get yourself tokens to make the Resurgence Badge. When you eventually are able, you're going to fuse the Liberty and Resurgence badges to make the Paragon Soul Badge. This thing is very useful and will be your go-to fused soul badge. If you get some Martial Tokens during all of this, you can spend them to get the Legacy soul badge in the meantime. Another thing of note is Soul Shields. These give you a lot of boosts as well as being your main source for defence and HP. You'll want to use primers on these eventually to boost critical on them. I won't get into it here, but look into how to properly prime soul shields. Everything else is pretty straightforward.

EDIT: Although I'll keep the words of my original post below, I would like to give my thoughts after the 1st day of the event and say that many of my concerns have been laid to rest... most of them anyways. The biggest thing that makes this event far more doable than expected is the massive dungeon nerfs for the event. It pretty much means you can obliterate most dungeons without much trying. Many dungeons below DST see the boss die in seconds and even Hangar 0 can go down with less trouble than, say Starstone Mines with even a somewhat basic party. I haven't tried Stonescale Passage, Cathedra Cliffs or Halcyon Hills yet, but I don't see much to be worried about. Naryu Sanctum, from what I've heard, is tough. It did not get the dungeon nerfs the others did... but the mechs ARE the same apparently as the old one. So... who knows? I fought and beat Naksun. He's doable... but he can surprise you. He almost got me on my first (and only) fight. Remember, you do not get the remnant from normal Naksun. After beating him, you must use the device to essentially revive him in his stronger form to fight him for the remnant. I've still seen ridiculous elitism for dungeon recruitment. TB+ for Hangar 0, GC+ w/ 8 unlocked slots (to weed out event characters) for Botany Center -> Hall of the Templar weeklies... and that's going to be one of the two bigger concerns for this event. Though, I hope things get more lax soon. The other concern I have is the fishing. 100k angler's pearls (double last event). That is a LOT of AFK fishing. I don't even have enough for the "limit 5 per day" amount. I'm going to try to keep fishing, but I hope they do something to alleviate the burden for fishing, because it is a tad ridiculous. All that said, this does look possible. Good luck, everyone! ORIGINAL POST BELOW:

Honestly... they could have, instead of taking SJF from the rotation, they could have put FAS in. That way, we'd have the new dungeon, the old rotation and FAS for 7 weeklies. Or, y'know... make it 2/3/4/5 instead of 2/4/6/7

Let's start with the "Light vs Wind" discussion. I'll sum it up for you. Light Archers do indeed deal more overall damage than Wind... roughly 20%. However, they are more ping-reliant and to deal much of that damage, you should be in melee range. Ya... a ranged class being in melee. Wind Archers are still pretty strong overall, but aren't as ping reliant and you can play anywhere in your range and still be effective. They're also very mobile and a lot of people I've talk to seem to enjoy their playstyle more. As to which you should play... the answer should always be: PLAY WHAT YOU LIKE MORE With that out of the way... Weapons If you're new to the game and don't have reliable ways to upgrade your equipment, the PvE path is generally less expensive. That's the Dawnforged/Riftwalk path. To decide on which of the weapons in there to choose, look at the path you chose and it's skills, then look at the weapons. They tend to boost certain skills. Just pick the weapon that boosts the skills your path would want more. Now, if you're capable of doing Skybreak Spire, Temple of Eluvium and beyond relatively often, then you can go down the raid path (Raven, Aransu and above). It will be a bit more expensive and requires you to do those raids at points to gain the upgrade materials reliably. Still, to be frank, those are the better weapons to use for an Archer. So, to sum it up, Raven is the better option overall, but it will cost more. Soul Shield Get the better one. Obviously. Start with Raven, then get Aransu and after that, either get Grand Celestial or save up for Thornbreaker. Each one will require the proper materials (Raven Feathers, Hive Queen Wings, etc) and you'll want to gain ones with Critical on them for best results. You may also want to look into Soul Shield Primers to boost their stats further... but I'm not going into detail on that one. Google that nonsense if you need to. Accessories Like above - get the better one. For the most part, accessories gained from raids tend to be stronger than ones you can get elsewhere. Gain the ring and earring from Skybreak Spire, then the necklace from Temple of Eluvium. Eventually, you'll gain better accessories from higher level raids. As for the other accessories, you can get a bracelet, glove and a belt from Moon Bud farming in Moon Refuge. They'll get you started until you go looking for bigger and better things. Just remember that when choosing what accessory (if they give you a box with two choices) to hover over them, compare to your skills/path and choose accordingly. Accessories from raids often cater to one path or the other... so watch for that. For everything else... Google or Youtube it.
