So I got bored on Classic and decided to try Renewal out. I've played since 2003, but I quit when Renewal was new right around the time RG reflect leveling was nerfed. That being said, I really didn't dive too far into Renewal...
I wanted to try Renewal because 193 ASPD just looked awesome! Considering I can't get higher then 190 where I am use to, this was a pretty huge incentive.
What did I do? I started on a new account and started with nothing. I took all of the advice I could find on the forums, which was buy KP/WPE and make zeny that way. I just xfered stuff instead, but was along the same lines lol.
Few concerns with Renewal though...
1. Why does Arrow Storm have such a long cool down? Slows me down in all TI's that I can't just fwing and AS, I have to wait slightly before doing it.
2. Started like 5 days ago. Between being sick, still working/going to school I got up to level 130+. When does the grind start? (playing hybrid ranger, 100% solo play). Also when will partying be required? I am doing fine now solo in high TI, but I'm assuming that at some point I will need to party? Hopefully?
3. Is WoE any good (as ranger, pure AS or w/e is needed)? Heard so many mixed reviews. I am only up to par with WoE TE.
4. Why is 99% of everything of importance come from the kafra shop? Thank god I can just xfer WPE, but I can't imagine how many pockets get emptied with this system. Don't get me wrong, I have had a blast with the upgrading system, but man does it cost a lot of zeny to xfer to KP!!!
5. What is there to do that is challenging? I am looking for solo play PVE/MVP, I am not convinced WoE is worth the effort yet. However, the PVE/MVP side of things is a refreshing break from Classic to have all of these options and new things to try. Leveling has proven to be a joke thus far, is the end game instances and things of that nature just as easy or does it pick up at some point to offer any real challenges?
