In light of the disabled forum features, I've provided image links to all the items I originally had provided for.
I've also added a new note under the Level Up Goals section in regards to the Sealed Lv. 70-90 Equipment Contracts that are available in the Supply Depot. These do NOT allow you to equip the Hero's Epaulet (Under Level 80) or Cat Statue (Under Level 90).
I'm in the same situation as GhengisJohn's brother, I play on a laptop and can't really play anymore. Two years ago I didn't encounter any unplayable situations until Lionotus and Keaghan. After that, I found out the entire season 2 was pretty unplayable except for Lakoria (because runner). It got better once Lord Glas hit and season 2 areas became more manageable, but somehow things got worse when the Lochlann Plains patch hit us over the summer and has since only gotten worse. Even walking around the new town of Berbhe is difficult, and the only thing allowing me to "play" is my incredibly high 14.6k DEF.
Hi! Welcome to Vindictus. As Breadman said, there's a lot of issues you'll encounter as you play this game, so do not hesitate to come here to the forums and ask about stuff in this section. Whenever you log in as one of your characters, you'll automatically enter a chat room specific to your class, just click on that tab and you'll be able to consult people in-game as well.
Here's some really good tips for you when you get started:
1) Be sure to visit Ceara at the Mercenary Outpost when you start a character and ask her about the rookie shop. This shop is open until level 20 and provides everything you might need for free.
2) If you play on either East or West server, do not hesitate to spend gold to buy stuff because these servers are inflated with gold. If you ever run out of gold, you can sell any Magic Powder or Blessed Magic Powder at an undercut price and that should support you for quite a while. You won't need these items until you are around level 60 (probably not even until level 80 after this last update) and you can easily farm them back once you're at a higher level.
