Question2

An update very few will be able to access. Ho-hum.

Why? Non-reedemers means s3 except for Neamhain.

Wouldn't Gallagher be a more interesting choice for the interlude? I want to play as Gallagher and meet Ferghus in the hot spring...

I don't know what you're talking about but that CelesteV guy always megas about Neam practices on the East Server

Hes talking specifically about the practice mode that requires practice coupons and gives you unlimited revives.

Sure, you can do regular practice neam runs just by launching a regular boat, except that it takes so much longer because of the revive timer preventing you from actually getting practice. And if the party is small, you cant practice the latter ohases as you cant actually make it to the latter phases in time. And the repair fees penalizing you is dumb (why isn't equip durability deducted only when you kill the boss?).

Something like Neam should have come with practice mode support from the get go and the ability to choose which phase to practice for., but derpcat just shoved it out of the door to encourage people to buy runes.

Hopefully this helps people decide what dyes they might need or whether they can mix and match the outfit with other outfits/armor just in case they are thinking of getting the set.

The stats are the same as other premium outfits and the "set bonus" simply refers to the number of outfit slots filled, so you can mix and match with other premium outfits and still get the full bonus for 5 slots. Technically, you can mix and match with non-premium outfits too but the non-premium outfits have a lower bonus on the pieces itself, so you will miss out on some stats.

The colours are fixed (every set has the same default colours) and these are the default colours :



The colours seem to be similar to what the Succubus Queen wears, except that the chest's colour 1 is a faint metallic blue (looks like white at first glance) instead of the succubus queen's metallic black, and the boots are white instead of black.

I'm not sure what the exact RGB colour codes are (I don't think the game shows that info), but the black for the Succubus Queen's actual outfit isn't 25 25 25 black, it's a lighter shade of black. I tested 25 25 25 black in the dye shop and it was far too dark.

This is how the full set looks in the dye shop, with default colours :

Actual Succubus Queen for comparison : http://i.imgur.com/djZJiJ1.jpg

The outfit comes with pantyhose that is similar to the Heroine Inner Armor, and a transparent brown inner bra. The Succubus Queen herself doesn't have the inner bra, only the metallic cup and "bones". IMHO, the brown inner bra looks out of place, you have this ugly transparent brown material covering part of the breasts and it just doesn't look good, especially as it doesn't match the color of the metallic portions.

The outfit also overrides any inner you may have. Normal outfits don't override your inner and simply go ontop of it, which can result in conflicting combination like visible bra straps, garter belts, etc. This isn't an issue with the Succubus Queen outfit.

Unfortunately, you cannot dye the pantyhose or cloth inner bra.

Note that the lighting in the succubus queen phase 2 room seems to have a blue tint to it, which is why the metallic portions of her chest armor look like blue-silver in the screenshot (and in game) instead of brown. But you can see that her wings (which share the same color) are brown in the above screenshot. With the default colours, the metallic portions of your chest will also look like blue-silver in the second phase room, despite actually being brown.

The set is weird, in that it behaves strangely if you do not wear both the chest/skirt at the same time. For example, the wings do not appear at all unless you have both the chest/skirt equipped. Also, the skirt's colors are completely ignored when you have both the chest/skirt displayed, so there is no point in dyeing the skirt if you want to display both at the same time.

The dyeable parts of the chest (the green parts for easy visibility) :

Colour 1 front view : http://i.imgur.com/xFvaDOK.jpg

Colour 1 rear view : http://i.imgur.com/zU2EFxn.jpg

Colour 1 is for the metallic part of the bra, the wing bones, the cloth for the upper arm, and the crotch area.

Colour 2 front view : http://i.imgur.com/OTGHxL8.jpg

Colour 2 rear view : http://i.imgur.com/0Tc451c.jpg

Colour 2 is for most of the metal parts of the armor (armguards and chest mainly) and the skin portion of the wings.

Colour 3 rear view : http://i.imgur.com/ZY9szjP.jpg

Colour 3 is for the most of the cloth parts of the armor, such as the rear skirt and lower cloth arm guards. Rear view only because most of it is only visible from the rear.

This is what the chest/skirt looks like if you wear them seperately :

Chest only, front view : http://i.imgur.com/pULULG5.jpg

Chest only, rear view : http://i.imgur.com/iALe2q3.jpg

The parts that can be dyed are the same, except that you cannot dye the crotch area/wings as they are only visible when worn together with the skirt.

Colour 1 is the crotch area.

Coour 2, front view : http://i.imgur.com/wZf0ufq.jpg

Colour 2, rear view : http://i.imgur.com/Jz9lbmR.jpg

Colour 2 is just the part above the crotch.

Colour 3, rear view : http://i.imgur.com/QTYRnoW.jpg

Colour 3 is just the cloth skirt at the rear.

Clipping issue : If wearing the succubus top (the one that the normal succubus wears, you have to fuse it to armor) with the succubus queen skirt, there is a weird clipping issue : http://i.imgur.com/T55JJMk.jpg

The clipping issue is also visible if worn with the steampunk heroine top (outfit slot) with the succubus queen skirt. But there is no clipping issue when worn with the heremon soft top (armor) + succubus queen skirt. Some combinations of armor or outfit seems to cause it, while other combinations are fine.

Also, If anyone knows what the RGB code is for the succubus queen top's color 1, the faint metallic blue, that would be great. I haven't been able to find any colors like it so far and it looks pretty good, really subtle.

1. Enchant your chest piece with Master ES cus crit
2. Enchant one piece of your accersoies with Berserker ES, you can choose not to do so if you have another build in mind and don't care about stamina regen from the ES.
3. Put Significant and passion on any open spot on accesories. This should be the last thing you do, first want to put fast, subdue, the dead first then once you done with you accesoy build you start applying these es to any ope spots. (Wait for Enchant Scroll Event)

The problem with this part is that newbies will have very basic gear, usually the free level 80 or 90 gear. They will put enchants on the free gear because they dont know any better. Have you ever seen a level 80-90 newbie runnig around with stuff like healthy rampage earrings or a passion cadet ring? I have. The first step in a guide like this should be to tell them how to get decent gear worth putting enchants on and where to get said enchants.

IMHO there is no point telling them to put enchants on anything unless its 2 star OJ at least (not including special situations like their friend giving them a free impending that is about to expire or whatever). Most newbies have little to no powders, nor the gold for it. Yea, a veteran can easily put master ES on his level 80 chest for an alt, a newbie most likely can't. I regularly see newbies get to level 60+ and then tell me that they have no powders because they didnt pick them up, they just NPCed them or dumped it on the MP for the standard value.

Passion ES for most newbies is unrealistic. This is pretty much end game min-maxing considering that you either need to get multiple alts to level 60+ for it, or find someone willing to do it for you and desperate enough to sell his passion scrolls to you. Or, you get lucky and find a newbie who has no idea what he is doing and is selling it on the MP for dirt cheap, but you have to be pretty lucky to be the first to spot it. Significant/passion wont make any difference unless you have them on multiple accessories anyway.

To start off with, I would suggest they get the following :

-Sarghmiu earrings or shield badge to replace the free rampage earrings, IIRC INT characters get free earrings from titan so they dont have to worry about that

-Character specific emblem/ring

-Evil monster leather belt + 2x thorn rings (if INT) OR thor belt + ghost ring if STR OR evil monster leather belt + 2x s2 str rings (the cheap kind)

Relatively easy to farm most of this solo, plenty of veterans have spares or mats to sell. They should also get someone to expertise craft it if possible.

1. create armor piece with atleast an Orange Primary Essence. (I recommend putting orange primary essence with either purple or blue shards. Going full orange is time comsuming and costly for something you planning on blowing up and not restoring)
2. Enchant Armor from step one with Rank 7 Enchant scroll
3. If it Blows up go back to step one, if not go to step 4
4. Go to your next piece of armor that not Enchanted and go to step 2. if all Armor are enchanted go to step 5
5. Use enchant runes to put the second enchant on each armor piece or you can go really risky and do it without runes, not recommended

Not sure why you say its time consuming and costly. Most OJ armor pieces cost only 90 seals and 350k to npc craft. This is much cheaper than using s3 mats to upgrade purple to OJ, and most newbies will not be willing to farm the mats to upgrade to OJ anyway. Farming 90 seals to make another piece of OJ gear is much easier than farming the mats to upgrade to full OJ.

Also the first step for level 90 gear should be :

1. Amass 350 seals to buy all OJ mats from the seal shop, by doing hard mode muir + breakoff, hero succubus and hard mode shakkar and roch/colhen raids whenever possible (problem is, most newbies never get past this part)

2. Figure out which set they want, typically either full lugh/terminus or braha/regina weapon + boots + gloves and lugh/terminus for the rest.

3. Find a party willing to carry a undergeared newbie through 1 or 2 s3 raids for the recipes

4. NPC craft it with seals

5. +10 it, may take a while due to the number of para stones required (most newbies cant afford to buy para stones)

6. NPC craft boots/gloves first, with full OJ mats, followed by the other pieces

7. Get master ES on the chest as soon as you can

IMHO, runes arent worth using for armor enchants unless its like, 3 star full OJ and already has an enchant on it. Or you have plenty of money to spam runes.
