    I think it would help newcomers if the armor in the shop was +7+L instead of +0+4+L. It is difficult the first couple of resets especially when you spend most of your time trying to get into a reliable party. The amount of damage you take with a full +0 set and mini wings is pretty high even in lt7 / icarus where newbies level safely. Also before someone brings up you can multi client with an EE, have you tried to keep a 0 rr EE alive in icarus : )? This will not cause an imbalance since non-ex gear isn't used very long and can actually help new players to make chaos weapons for 1st wings, which in term increases the amount of 2nd wings.

    Thanks,
    P.S. I was fortunate enough to have friends from last season to help me through the first few resets, and even then it was difficult since players d/c or are afk a lot.

    And then, all can make free level 1 wings with gear from shop, no thanks sir. All players have struggled with that +0 gear at the beginning, and no one had resets to help them.

    Also everyone at the start partied each other because they had no choice. Now most prefer to solo again since it's faster and don't have to share loot. Don't be so greedy of how hard it was a few weeks ago when things are fresh because there is no economy set up. Last time the server was reset some things were added 2-4 weeks in that made the people from day 1 upset too, but it helped the community grow and everyone moved on.

    If you start by doing NPC Elf Buffer Quests, from 0 lvl, it will give you +7 and+8 set, along with a weapon and arround 2 mil zen and some jewels and chaos weapon for doing lvl1 wings , etc,etc. Have you ever try that?:)

    I'm not sure why you keep telling me advice, I'm speaking for other new players...

    Like other says medals drop is pretty good, also the new players can do easily those quests from Elf Buffer.

    I see no point to add +7- +9 items in shop.

    Well this starter set Shooter may be a problem since +7 items would cost more than +0 :)

    There is no need to change this as ppl were accustomed to hunt for medals since the begining and this is a good thing especially since we also enable heart of love, star of sacred birth, etc during special days of the year.

    Also ulyse001 is totally right, there are so many players that ignore NPC ELF Soldier which gives you a pretty ammount of jewels and ofc starter sets


    Btw, not a single new player complained about not finding good items

    I didn't say anyone was complaining, and I didn't know about the elf soldier giving out items before this thread. However all I said was more defense would help new players, not that anyone deserved anything or was too hard to find.
    Thanks

    As i said, it would be worse if we would do that since sets from shop will cost more zen while the items inside medals are free

    But thank you for your suggestion anyway
