  I did exactly as instructed with my 2 divine orders of the shadows. It would not work for me, then the timer ran out on one order. No book :(

• thompson24

  maybe because the order(not the one u need) have timer but the honors(the one u need) dont.

• glaxia @ Apr 1st, 2011 10:24AM

  1st of all dun fight on these guide forum things cuz its dumb. 2nd this sounds o.d. complicated but i just got my cleric 2 lvl 20 so i might try this. ty 4 the info PWI

  One solid question thats stands above all without any good answers lol "Who defends a ripoff game" Answer: Not a player, no paying customer enjoys "defending" a game they receive a financial rape on. Yet several genericly PWI created nics are spawned to critisize the defending player with their ever intelligent comments "This game don't cost no money, I had no problems". Yet any player from 1 to even 2 years ago gets screwed because the GAME controls the economy, not the player. You take 20 bucks this week, it's worth 400k/per gold, next week 1.2M/per gold. Nice job on your patch to the supply chests, durations on the weapons people have to pay 5gp, 5 bucks to open for a temporary weapon that didn't used to be temporary. So obviously your goal wasnt to help the players of the last 2 years which made your jobs behind those desks. Yup your actions are deliberate and without reason short of cash desire.

• antg17

  shut up

• krifaen

  Its called a supply and demand, would you rather go play some other half ass game or would you rather play this one? Ahh thats the ticket, once they have you hooked its so easy to cough up some cash. Yea it sucks for us old school players, but hopefully by now you have a toon way over lv50 and dont have to worry about the timer weaps... especially after 2+ years, (4 in my case, +1 on Malaysian servers) if not... *facepalm*

• magicmuffin808 @ Mar 27th, 2011 3:00PM

  Its not expensive its called farming.... They arent just gonna give away runes u know and u dont hve to go charging gold like crazy. There are many ways to get money without spending irl cash. 1. twighlight temple 2. herbs 3. merchanting its really not that hard i mean to get herbs all u gotta do is click stuff. Do u need high lvl or irl money fr that.. i dont think so 0.o

• aricain

  wtf are you smoking? 5-10M off farming basic herbs? Corundum thats 1k? Extruded Charcoal 1.2k? You are smoking crack if you think you can get 5-10M off farming those herbs. I think your off a goo 8M which is horrid math, you can get around 1M if your farming for 2-4 hours on average of circling the map so unless your on crack for 18 hours shifts and proven your still lying...nevermind nuff said you moron lol

• aussiesumi

  aricain I totally agree with your comment. However, it is possible to make an absured amount of money off of Mat farming. I can make roughly 1-4.5mil a day from a few hours (roughly 3) of circulating the map, repeatively. Unfortunately, it's rather boring and 'Illegal' to have two accounts open on one computer - making it increasingly tire-some. The game has got to the point where It's not about the enjoyment and love of playing but more staring at the screen wondering why you/we waste our limited time. As for you, antg17... If you had another brain, it would be lonely.

• magicmuffin808

  first of all corundum and charcoal are mats not herbs 0.o Devil wood sells fr about 2k on HL server so thats about 4-6k everytime u dig cuz u get 2-3 herbs each. IGs currently sell for about 20-30k so you could actually make a lot more money then that. Btw u dont gotta fly around the map... who does that... the herbs are all clumped in one place in hell/heaven mainly hell. And (going by ur price) making 1mill in 2 hours means u make 5 mill in 10 hours so in 2 weeks youll hve about... which is 70-100 gold right there (depending on gold price) fr free. Nirvana during 2x gets u about 1mill per run 30min per run sooo in 1hr 30min u get about 3mill. If u save up ur keys and do about 10 nirvanas a day(still only 5 hours) u get 10mill a day and 70mill in a week which adds up to 70-100 gold free in a week 0.o

• xobliquex @ Mar 27th, 2011 2:11PM

  SILLY QQERS THEY DIDNT SAY OH YOU HAVE TO DO THIS.... THEY SAID IF YOU LIKE TO CRAFT MEANING YOU CAN IF YOU WANT. AND I FOR ONE AM GOING TO DO IT. :P

• basilan @ Mar 26th, 2011 9:13AM

  Did they tell you that you HAVE to do it? If it's too expensive for you, then DON'T DO IT! For those of you who're complaining about how much money you wasted, well, should've done a little research on it before you did it.

• aricain @ Mar 25th, 2011 1:15AM

  That reminds me of one more greedy thing of PWI, 5gp on boutique for a hammer to open your level 50 supply stash and now have a Summer's sword with a timed duration. /applaud Think I'll just go get a better graphics card and hit Runes of Magic. I don't think PWI player's should have to pull down their pants whenever corporate wants to get any. ;)

• magicmuffin808

  u do realize if u farm herbs fr about a day u can get around 5mill coins which is around 8-10 gold. Oh look u can get 2 perfect hammers without even spending real money.

• lordshaz @ Mar 24th, 2011 4:33PM

  well im now at lvl 5 rune crafting and down about 25 mil coin... wow and not seeing a huge benifit with rank 9 aready out there they pew pew my rank 8 in a hurry

• xxomegaweaponxx @ Mar 24th, 2011 6:08AM

  hmmmm well thats strange 0.o when pw makes things cheaper (r8/r9 fr example) people rage. When they make things expensive people rage. Normal price people qq about making it cheaper or more expensive. Runecrafting sounds great. Note it was mentioned that it was fr the people willing to take the time to lvl it. Its not really about money if u can farm it. Just dig herbs in hell/heaven fr day sell the herbs and buy the shards fr ur runes. Sell the runes fr a little more than u used to make them and use that money to get more runes and repeat. There now u hve a good money making process and lots of runes fr urself ^^

  +1 for this comment

• elysenia @ Mar 23rd, 2011 5:21PM

  whew-I was considering it but with a 100% negative comment log, seems PWI needs to worlk on first

• ccviperine @ Mar 23rd, 2011 5:14PM

  ITS SO F**CKING EXPENSIVE AND TIME CONSUMING! ITS RIDICULOUS!!! (note the outrage). It takes a lot of effort and a lot of coin to complete. Starting from buying or collecting armor and weapons for decomp for Chi stones, then combining them to the right level. On to buying or collecting gems then combining to the appropriate level them as well. All this took about an hour and about 100k for a HALF A F**CKING HOUR BUFF!!! (note the outrage, again). If you are trying to save coin, I couldn't imagine how you would get items necessary to preform Runecrafting. Bottome line: It takes way too much effort and coins for it to be worth it. Its strait GARBAGE!! BUT, You can fix it. Put your creative hats back on and think about it. You ant change the prices of the gems, that has been set and it should be messed with. INSTEAD: Maybe increase the durations of the Runes, or the increase the stat bonus on them. Maybe add some Exp boosts, or a x2 Coin drop. Figure it out. The game has came this far, dont start monopolizing on your fans!

• closingin

  just so you know, its already been monopolized, look around, subs, tears, uncannies, theres always one person ALWAYS making a ton, stop QQing and go farm herbs to do it or other mats...not that hard

• aricain

  I agree with your raging. However it is NEEVR the goal for PWI to make anything based on so a player can quickly make money, their goal is to keep you broke as much as possible, from 3-8k ports, to 10k-40k rep badges, to tokens 10k-20k. Their goal is to nickel and dime you. The game is very deceptive, as the start is very intriguing, great character design, etc. 90+ total different ball game and you are lying to yourelves if you still think it's "free". yeah maybe after you get 102 and can FINALLY get drops, hell even Nirvana/Lunar Glade takes money to port. Anyway I see these morons calling people getting upset to "quit QQ" when everyone that has spent a SINGLE dime should be pissed. Pay 20 bucks for something they patch in for 1 dollar next week (in example). Anyway I agree.

• freeprincemonk

  okay i have to disagreee with the price rage here. just decompose your armors that you get as drops, there is no sense in combining chi stones, I never do that because it is a waste of material. Just use only the material you get from drops or rewards and you will make out fine. I'm sure these buffs aren't meant to be used every 30 minutes, so don't be so ungrateful.

• annnievalrdis @ Mar 23rd, 2011 4:17PM

  Runecrafting.. Love the idea of it.. But I have to agree with everyone here... Lower the costs of gems from merchants NPCs and I'm sure a lot more individuals would be interested.

• damien220 @ Mar 23rd, 2011 1:34PM

  this buff is really stupid.....i mean only for 60 min ,so what?what after that?i have to get another one for 60 more min?and they are very expansive,so why bother spend my coins on it,and i already have to spend it on tt mats wich are also very high these days especially for 90+ gears. So the whols idea is really stupid,make something better for god sake.... AND PLZ PLZ PLZ FR GOD SAKE,FIX THAT DAMN LAG WE'RE HAVING EVERY WEEK!!!!

• darkumbreon @ Mar 23rd, 2011 1:09PM

  Ok why waste a shard that i can put into my gear for PERMANET use to get a stupid 30-60 min buff? the cost of gems are already outragious and getting the right genie food can also be expensive. Please PW don't leave this good idea to rot like all your others... listen to your fans and fix it before you become even more hated for your ideas.

• dice2105 @ Mar 23rd, 2011 12:24PM

  why waste ur time on thoes crafting items its to expensive just wait 4-8weeks and u can buy lv 8 Max Runecrafting from Botique thats what im waiting for

• tombprince @ Mar 23rd, 2011 11:59AM

  I don't get it, I can get divine orders of the shadow from bounty hunter 1, but nowhere can I find the trade option for them. After reading your comments i guess I won't be runecrafting either x2

• midnightstarrz

  kinda hard to miss... talk to the second npc over by sumner... combine the shadow orders for lvl 1-4 void orders for lvl 5-7 i personally like the crafting.

• tombprince

  yeah i think those are divine honour of shadow that get converted to divine honour of void. found the link of forums for it and it's a random quest to get it after doing bounty hunter 1

• archdaemon420 @ Mar 23rd, 2011 10:33AM

  I agree, the cost is to expensive for such a short period boost. Lower the gem price and you will get more people practicing this great new idea. But as it stands now....I don't know anyone in my faction that is practicing it.

• knownase @ Mar 23rd, 2011 8:30AM

  Great for 5.0 APS, but nothing worth it afterwards, and besides, ppl who have tons of money don't care, I know some at lvl 6 already.

• babyfacebluntsmoke @ Mar 23rd, 2011 8:05AM

  Every good idea turns out bad, every bad idea just gets worst.... i am seriously pissed... i like the buffs, i cant afford to make them myself. costs are outrageous, you all are lucky i enjoy other parts of this game or i would never play again. all the money im spending on stuffs i could play W.o.W. cheaper

• macrae138 @ Mar 23rd, 2011 3:31AM

  First off this isnt a "guide" its a how to get started page... and to point out what others have already said, its expensive as hell. What were you all thinking? Oh...yeah I know..."money"...psh...

• obl1v1on666

  +1 for this post. Yeah i got lvl 4 and i am not upgrading it any further, seriously the buffs vs the costs? In NO WAY worth it. Runecrafting was a decent idea, and you yet again managed to completely screw the players over! way 2 go PWE

• efn @ Mar 23rd, 2011 2:08AM

  Agree with all of the previous post, it is far too expensive and time consuming for so little reward.

• skyraiserdm @ Mar 23rd, 2011 1:29AM

  Level 20 ??? I think you must be level 60 to learn Runecrafting...

• gyroki @ Mar 23rd, 2011 12:50AM

  The benefit of runecrafting is way to low. Thats y i wont learn it and i know only 1 person till now who lvld it abit. But best new feature is that u can get now mp and hp pots for free (reward, instead of learning runecrafting) which r almost as good as event pots. Now mp and hp pots r independent from token price, thats great, thats what i wanted =) Lowbie weapons might be good for lowbies too, no idea if its worth to get them, ive only 100+ chars. Ive just 1 question about these weapons: i know they r not tradeable, but can u put them to account stash and do they time out?

• kaitae

  the weapons obtained with the honer(s), yes account stashable, and they are permanent.

• midnightstarrz

  Yes the weaps are acc stashable, and no no timer on them.

• losmot @ Mar 23rd, 2011 12:41AM

  i will probably do this out of boredom one day and thats it xD i keep hearin peaople bi.tch about the gems and how expensive it is for just a measely percentage. but me doing this out of boredom will be far into the feature and by then (hopefully) changed..

• dragonslash24 @ Mar 23rd, 2011 12:03AM

  soooo not worth the expense!
