I can to be honest with you, while yes it takes a bit of time, some players can. Takes 3 quests for daily challenge (nothing says you have to do a purple train or hard stuff to finish it) and do that on roughly 9 characters and you have just reached the cap since you also get extra reputation from the quests and 22,000 from daily challenge. Even if they raise it to weekly, you will still fail to reach that amount as you lose access to being able to obtain the daily challenge 22,000 xp towards making you only able to obtain it once per character a week. If they made it weekly that is 1,540,000 xp you would need to gain over the course of the week unless the total was adjusted which ins't possible to reach cap with even if you played all day for a few days and had 11 characters. Either way you wouldn't reach cap. Don't play Korean games if you don't like grinds. Pretty simple.

Ok but say you limit it to that weekly, you will still find people complaining because they are unable to reach the weekly cap and then what change it to a monthly cap? Fact is you can not please everyone and honestly if you can't play daily your progress will always be slower then someone who can, there is no changing that. Unless that person has 8-9 characters to run it all on, it would be near impossible to reach even the weekly cap for most just because most of us hit the cap by using the weekly / daily challenge reputation which is set at 22,000 xp. Edit: So even while they could set it to weekly, people who can't play everyday would be missing out on the daily challenge experience and only obtaining it for as your example 2 days and still be in roughly the same boat.

But then having it weekly punishes the people that can play daily? See what the guy was referring to when asking for changes since "he can't play daily to reach cap"? You have to play in order to make progress so why limit everyone in that manner. I missed a few daily challenges on a few alts and would of been at Unity 30, I'm currently at 28. I don't really see the issue since the rank itself only gives stats to characters on your account level 60.

It means when you use the orb, it is your loot, if boss 1 requires no loot..it is free for all.

On my warden and blade master I use 25 points in threat for 600% base + the new skill and have no issues what so ever in holding threat for the entire fights. Sure, my DPS lacks a little bit, but the pride as a tank is to keep the boss on you no matter what so your party can do their roles/jobs and damage.

You get the quest for moon refuge in your quest letters, you then have to accept it and go speak to the npc (that gives the basin daily) then open up your map, solak region and windwalk to moon refuge. Quest > Taking Refuge

While at the same time it is also a system for you to do as you do your normal routine. Nothing says you need to reach the cap daily. With that said I'm working on Unity Rank 28. More characters / time you have will allow you to reach cap every day but honestly seeing how the stones obtained only effect the character it is obtained on / used on, just play at your own pace and work on it.

To be honest, I never understood why Heaven's Mandate was a daily dungeon locking you out much like Cold Storage. Sure they need to make money with the resets but if they removed white orbs / new orb, release the one run a day thing lower the new lesser demon spirit stones at the drop amount as well as remove the orb requirement from the 2nd boss in Cold Storage. You'd be able to run it as many times as you want that day while keeping oil in check and not locking anyone out of it due to no orb/reset required. That is just my way of thinking which honestly would of been smarter then offering any kind of exchange while maybe offering hongmoon coins for all of the old resets.

People seem to overlook what I said. NCsoft/NCWEST is at fault due to not double checking everything before answering any questions. People make mistakes all the time, no one is perfect and if someone claims to be...they be bullshitting. In your case which is pretty much like mine. I didn't pay a dime for the resets I got and had well over 900 white orbs from doing pretty much the same thing you were, I'd at least run Cold Storage every day on my alt. characters just for the orb chance since once in awhile it was part of a event or gave event tokens so I basically saved them. While I understand you got a bit upset due to the change or the fact you didn't get anything from the items but a few copper, you had no investment into the said items other then making oils as you obtained it all for free. That is why while I might be upset about my lost as well, not enough to come on forums and more or less go head hunting like a lot of people are looking to do. And of course when people don't agree with others when they are in a bitching rant your more or less considered defending the action. Everyone lost items just keep that in mind.

Actually no I'm not but thanks for thinking I am.

I love the game so I overlook the bugs and just enjoy the game for what it is, a past time. I do have plenty of time to farm but most of the time is spent helping members of my clan.

Well what your complaining about is a fictional item compared to you saying your parents throw a rock in your face, 2 completely different situations. Again, you lost enough materials for 40 oils correct? I lost probably enough materials from my dungeon running for 4 times that or more yet I'm not the one bitching? See where I am coming from? I'm not 100% defending them as they are at fault for not double/triple checking their own information before answering questions but you do have to admit yourself that you should of made the oils if you had enough to really make 40 instead of waiting for more potential profit from making more which honestly, even if it was a exchange rate of 1 demon spirit stone to 10 lesser stones, you still would of broke even if you actually watched the live stream where they even showed the new recipe. And no, I don't get paid nor work for NCsoft / NCwest. I'm just sick and tired of seeing the same ol' ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ being said every time some change happens which most players find something to complain about not to mention the different events they provide for your enjoyment.

Honestly, I see this in a few ways and have discussed it in great length with others on voice. The problem in this case is they want to provide us with the new content however doing so also brings the adjustments made on Blade and Soul KR to reflect their servers and server age not ours. That is always the issue when 'catching up' too quickly content wise since 9 times out of 10 no company will take the time to adjust things to better reflect the region / server age. Also, I still stand by my other statement in another topic. Until they add some game item in the cash shop that you can not acquire by normal means that offers a advantage over others.. it is considered pay to get ahead. @PetPuggi Thanks for considering me a white knight but really I'm not, if they screw up so bad like they have in other games like Lineage 2, Aion I'd be the first one to post about it. Blade and Soul is probably one of the best games they have kept going.

By all means go ahead. They weren't reducing the required materials, they were just changing the demon spirit stones much like they did with blackstone / silverscale which why I could argue the change wasn't needed due to the fact that in the previous update they actually started to drop more often then before and you no longer had to buy them with the freezing orbs from cold storage...still doesn't change the fact the guy waited in hopes of making even more oils then he could of so its 50/50. Partially on their miscommunication and his fault for waiting. And no, I call bullshit where I see it. I'm not defending them because I lost a lot of items as well probably more then most but I also know you guys don't care because its the fact "you" lost items and everyone else doesn't matter.

Again like most people I get what your saying but at the same time I still don't really understand why for cases like resets which either cost free hongmoon coins you could of saved up or ncoin spent....why in the blue hell would you buy them in advance and save them when you could just buy as needed and then you wouldn't be in a outrage as you are now? There is miscommunication all the time in games, in life.. Should they of double and triple checked before answering anyones questions? Sure. However, like most that waited, the ones that are probably outraged are ones that bought more due to this change in hopes or getting a leg up on the rest of the players much like those who waiting on crafting oils that they had enough materials to craft in mass in hopes of getting even more due to being able to exchange them either for profit or for personal use. So I just ask while yes they screwed up on their end, so did everyone else by "waiting" to craft or by "waiting" to use the resets. *shrug*

Really I can understand your pain but hear me out. You basically said you waited to see if they reduced the amount of materials needed to craft the oils in hopes of making even more oils to either use yourself or as a source of income in-game to help fund your character. Are you really mad at them or yourself since again "you waited". Sure I watched the stream but as they say things don't always go according to plan or in this case updates. Now onto why they offer the reset and the orb. You get 1 orb which lets you run Heaven's Mandate everyday well at least for a week and the same amount of resets which so happen also reset Cold Storage. One could argue not to reset Heaven's Mandate since unless you are doing Boss 2 in Cold Storage it doesn't require the orb, thus giving you a 2nd free run of it everyday for more frozen feathers, lesser demon spirit stones, merchant of wonder chance if I'm not mistaken. But *shrug* Have fun.

So they held out on crafting them in hopes of getting even more stones? Hmm, always a gamble and well looks like everyone lost. See this is why you craft them when your able to.

Its one of the starter dungeons in V.Coast right before you go to jadestone village and yes it drops only off the boss in there. Just look for a red box, if that doesnt drop just use the portal exit and repeat, took me @ 60 runs on my one character to get it, easiest to farm while being low level with access to the other portal inside for "training" which is much closer so you just kill boss run to the training portal then back out to reset the mobs much quicker.

350 gold each, seen it a few times but only buying them now for extra powders to do the bis gems to octagon.

As Frost use the Primal Force Soul Badge, every time you use soul flare or blade ward you get a badge buff (2 buffs = sunspark) couple that with riftwalk and you can just about spam sentry stance.

People are the same way when I tell them I got the Infinite Challenge from Dreadtide Arena on my first run during the quest for the area on my summoner (was great but pissed me off since I still don't have it on my KFM). Just depends on when that .001% decided to let you have something or not.
