How to BEAT the RNG of Tempering, Sort of, Not Rly
If you're reading this, I'm guessing you're feeling the frustration of wasting countless Elluns and countless Tempering Stones to this game's very broken RNG system when it comes to tempering your epic gear. I was asked by a mod to provide a short guild so that you can try and increase your chances at successful tempering (as little as it may be) when it comes time for you to upgrade that new shiny Exalted gear.
Disclaimer: Just to clarify, this is in no way to say the current RNG in this game is "acceptable" or "fair" in any respect. This guide is simply to help you waste less resources and hopefully save you some Elluns. In the future, I really hope NEXON simply re-codes the way the RNG works in this game so less players abandon ROI out of pure frustration.
Step 1: OBTAIN as many buffs as possible.
Like many of the RNG features in this game, there are charms, talismans and pots which increases your chance of successful tempering in this game. Below are the ones you should try to get your hands on.
1) Tempering Charm from the Spire vendor. Requires 30 Challenger Coins (which you obtain from completing floors in Ellora's Spire). Also a random drop in the spire. Lasts 7hrs.
2) Special Tempering Talisman. Acquired through Lucky Boxes, Auction House (Market) using gold and thru direct NX purchases in the Ellora's Shop. These last anywhere between 14 Days to 30 days depending on the flavor you choose.
3) Tempering Potion. Purchased from the Ellora's shop using 3 Elluns (which is fairly cheap). Lasts only 10 mins so make it count!
4) Alchemist Jewelry Set. Obtained via drops from the Raid Dungeon Fractura (which can only be accessed in the mid lvl 50's). Make sure you get all 3, Alchemist Necklace, Ring of Wisdom, Ring of Strength.
5) Special NEXON events: for example, right now, TIME OF GROWTH which adds another 30%. This one is inconsistent as it really depends on when NEXON runs these types of extended events. (Personally, this should just become a permanent fixture with higher %'s or just simply fix the RNG).
Now all these buffs apply ONLY to non-% tempering stones. If you are using 30%/40%/50%/Blessed Stones, none of these buffs affect your tempering chances.
Step 2: GATHER A LOT of Tempering Stones. I mean A LOT. If you're stuck having to buy them, then I would suggest running some more dungs/raids and and save as many 150+ temp stones as possible. Fractura, World Bosses, and Elder's Bastion tend to drop higher lvl stones consistently. Other places to farm are the Merumi solo dungeon next to Elder's Bastion and Fishing at The Sea of Hakanas.
Step 3: CLENCH your Buttcheeks and temper away!
Assuming you've tried to max out your tempering buffs and gathered a bunch of stones, now its time to start tempering! Please be aware that despite all the preparations you have made, its still VERY LIKELY you will fail a bunch of times in a row. Hopefully, its just not as much as before...
When tempering EXALTED gear from 0-11, use the lowest grade stones possible to get to +11. Once you hit +11, start swapping over to your 150+ stones and at +12/+13 swap over to 165's and 170's in order to minimize heartbreaks and headaches (although they will probably still happen). Again, this is not guaranteed to give you a bunch of successful tempers in a row. If you have luck like mine, you'll probably still burn through 20-40 stones before reaching +15. This step can be accomplished without having to use ANYEllun protection, just a ton of stones.
At +15, start using Ellun insurance. If you do not use Elluns to prevent de-ranking, there's a high chance of failing and dropping 2 tempering levels..yes 2. This is also a good time to swap over to % tempering stones (while still using Ellun protection). Reasonably, you can probably get away tempering to +17 using 170 stones but after that I wouldn't count on many successes.
Step 4: CRY at how much this entire endeavor has cost you. If you were lucky and managed to get to +15 or +17 without too many failures, congrats! Consider yourself one of the lucky few! If you're like me, your eyes are probably filled with tears and your blood pressure has risen to some all time highs. Get up, cool off and avoid trying to smash your computer equipment. *Remember, your computer isn't responsible for this frustration.
Annnd there you have it! Tempering guide in a nutshell! Satisfaction not guaranteed!
Now about refining...don't.

Was the mouse scrolling view changed?
One of the biggest functions for me in the game was the ability to scroll the view all the was in to almost first person so I can view my new armor when I get it, view other people's armor up close, and get a good close up view when I want to take a pic of our group.
It seems that since the last update, or since the Trickster update, this option is not here anymore. When I scroll all the way in, I only go so far and the camera is above my head, which is completely worthless. I cannot view anything up close anymore and I have not changed my settings.
I have re-checked my setting and they all seen ok. Was this changed or is it a glitch? I have restarted the game and even rebooted my computer many times with no change. It's on all 6 of my characters also.
Does anyone know how to get this view back?

Gathering Leveling Help.
Im level 43 and I was a little stupid and didn't level up my gathering when I was lower. Since im level 3 in gathering, I can't gather in Cloying Wastes as it requires Level 4.
Im gathering in Trital Rift but all the resources are at low proficiency and now I can't gain anything, and The only region next is Cloying Wastes....
Anyone know how a way to level up my level 3 gathering to level 4, even it will take a long time??? PLEASE HELP, IM STUCK!!!

Overall DPS vs Crit Dmg
Ok anyone want to shed some light on this.
For example, Ive been changing my ranger to be more powerfull in the spire. (I cant get past floor 25) Always get to the same point with about 3 mins remaining.. and I run out of time. - simple fact.. from floor 21 to 24 I just cant kill the bosses fast enough.
Now I know the Spire has a debuff, so it reduces the dmg we do.. no matter what setup I choose I always end the same floor with the same amount of time.. with more or less the same score.
2 Examples to show here.
First few weeks was running with max DPS (Overall dmg) - so All my seals were more geared towards Overall attack. - I had 26K DPS but 3200 Crit Dmg...
2nd setup was I changed all seals to Crit Damage. so my overall DPS went down but my Crit Dmg obv went up, was like 21K dmg but 6523 Crit
both setups running at 95% crit rate.
Confused as to what approach is better, and can some shed some light as to how the figures are worked out?
Is Overall attack pre crit? and your critical is a multiplication of your crit damage? if so then it does not make sence looking at the random numbers of the DMG I do.. (way to varied to tell, or figure how it works)

Rabbini event for august- OP boss?
since the august booster thread seems to be entirely about the new servers i am starting a thread here for rabbini, so he doesn't get lost
first of all, i really liked the last rabbini event, after gms gave it a fix by sending us op carrot bombs to take him down in ~10 minutes
in new version, i like the side quest for hunting the minion bunnies, BUT there was a group of about a dozen of us & it was taking the old 45 minutes to kill rabbini - i thought his hp or defense was taken down for this event??? (he has a self healing skill too)
also, by making rewards for killing Rabbini daily instead of repeatable there is ZERO incentive for players to go back one they have done that quest for the day.
the minions drop ONE bomb when they die, but of course once you have done the repeatable quest (maximum 15 op bombs) u can go back & try doing it again, but will prolly need to wait for the next hour rabbini spawn to get fresh minions .
BTW - THANK YOU for making the minions quest makred so that they are #1 easy to find, & #2 can't be killed just for their bombs, but only targetable when the player has the quest activated

This has been driving us crazy for months now. On one of the loading screens, there is a drawing of Hakain's Crossing with a HUGE floating city high above it. I thought maybe it was a zone when we got to the level 60 cap, but here we are, and no city.

The Return of the Giant Rabbini
"Lucious Volifax Rabbini will be respawning every hour, and because of the previous encounter, he is much weaker and easier to take down!"
I just spent 30 min trying to kill this rabbini, and after he got to a sliver of health my carrot bombs no longer worked. So I kept trying but gave up after being told it takes about 50 riders to take it down...... And this is easier?

New Recipes that even the trainers don't know yet?
So I found some alchemy recipes of level 6 - fine!
BUT When I want to learn them, I get the message "Your Alchemy level is too low to learn ...."
Ok, I checked my alchemy level, it has stage 5 and more than two masterships.
I went to the trainer on the farm and in Hakain's Crossing, and what do both of them tell me? "You've reached the maximum level of Alchemy!"
Where are the new masters of alchemy which can train me?

Why is there no announcement for Panos and Poyo?
I feel like those two popular heroic familiars need to have their own announcement when they spawn like alot of the other heroic mounts because you basically have to camp all day to find one. For that reason I find it easier just to buy the sealed familiars from the market instead of camping for them lol Also why does only one Panos spawn on one

Hidden Daily Quest
So I was watching the sneak peek stream for akrat plains and something caught my eye that I couldn't find in game. I don't know why I am so dedicated to daily quests but I am :>. Here it is:

This is a daily quest in the first town in Akrat, I couldn't find it on my account. Does anyone have it on their char (I know it is probably a useless daily, but I still want to know :P)
Thank you for taking your time to read this!
