Everything about a L2 newcomer

[Reptant_]

Have u just started playing L2?

Are you thinking of starting it now?

Do you find it kinda hard?

This topic will help you :)

---

What Is Lineage II?

L2 Is an online game considered as MMORPG

In L2  Important role plays the  contribution , braininess and ur free time .

 

How Can I Play L2? Must I Pay?

Lineage II is a free game(in our point of view) , u must pay only if u want to play in the official Lineage ii (L2Official)

But that's why they have Private Servers , if u don't have to give money !

 

First Of All try to find  a proper server

The servers that u will play will not "retail" and they don't give u the experience of the Official Game

• L2 Have 3 Kinds Of Server
  

Low Rate (x1-x20) - where u will xp slowly and u will earn items difficult .

Mid Rate (x20-x50) - Where xp is medium and the items are easier from a low rate server

High Rate (x50-x10000) -  the goal of a high rate server Is PvP ( Player Vs Player(s))

 

The Next parameter is the Chronicle (The version of the game)

Lineage2 have many and different versions , and they keep making new versions .

Official Server always has  the latest version but on private servers sometimes no , the most popular versions are :

• Interlude
  
• Gracia Epilogue

[*]Freya

But they have some differences  , but actually are the same . (Freya is the expansion of Interlude)

 

There's of course many Private Servers

For Select a private server , u must visit some websites, where they advertise servers like l2hopzone.net , gamesites200.com and the Lineage II Servers Section Of MaxCheaters

 

 

You will see and more strange like ( L2J - L2OFF )

L2OFF are the files of the older version of official . ( It has got few bugs )

L2J are the files that are created from other people but τhe results are the same with L2OFF but it has got many bugs/exploits (The reason that we have MaxCHEATERS) but u have the possibility  to make them much better

 

 

From where can i download clients ? How can i log?

You can find the clients by clicking here or search at google by writing their names.

Then you must put  the  relative system/patch of the server

This given from the website of the private server (How to connect/Downloads)

Download the files , and replace  them with the old ones

See This , it will help you

 

 

Then Run Lineage from  lineage2/system/l2.exe

 

Nice i've logged what i must do now?

Then make sure that you've created an account , log and make ur character ( Select ur race )

You can give a check there(couldn't find any english one,anyway it's easy)

 

What i need now?

Then , if u have been logged in the game,  you must kill some monsters for level up(for how much easy is level up we said it up)

By killing  monsters u will earn adenas that u will need for buy items.

Try to go to the nearly town  for buy items (like Soulshots)

 

At 20 level u will do the first quest ( if it has a cat ( class transfer-manager -easier shit ) when u will select what class u want and what skills u will take .

It's important  to do not do mistake .

 

Since you are 20 level, u will leave that town and go on an other town there u will can xp more easier .

 

I Die from monsters , What mistake  i did ?

You must have that equipments  always :

• Armor ( Wear it )
  
• Weapon + Soulshot/bless spiritshot (Fighter or mage)
  
• Jewels
  
• Potions
  
• Buffs
  
• I Went to the mobs that are more level than me
  

What is the aim of the game?

At the begin , u must level up and go to the max ( Full is 80 (Interlude) 85 (Gracia , freya) )

The aim of the game are the fights near the other players,so u must be more stronger for no dying so easy .

 

You must take the properly items ( gears ) for be more STRONGER ! (It counts on ur class too)

 

Next  , u will join in one clan where u will go together with other players to take better items for be more better on PvPs(You Must Be On A clan for support them and they support you , L2 Is team game )

 

 

Overall  Infos for the game

 

Xp System

At Lineage II u level up by killing mobs(monsters)

u can learn the power of them by see their color(or u have a specially patch for see how many level they are )

 

Red : 9 level or more bigger  than you

Light red :  6-8 level bigger than u

Yellow : 3-5 level bigger than u

White : -2level <->+ 2 level of you

Green : 2-5 level smaller than u

Light Blue : 6-8 level smaller than u

intense blue : 9 or more level smaller than u

 

By leveling up u will learn more skills and we wear other grade of armor!

 

Grades :

We can't wear random Grades . It has  some grades that u wear by leveling up .

1-19 level we wear no grade

20-39 D

40-51 C

51-61 B

61-76 A

76-79 S

80-83 Dynasty/Icarus/Morai

84-85 Vesper/Vorpal/Elegia

 

According to them,take appropriate  SOULSHOTS

Of course if u are 84 level u can wear d grade but not the different soulshot . Soulshots max are S Grade , if u wearing s grade/dynasty/icarus/vesper use s grade soulshots .

General Information about buffs

Buff are some skills,that are done by others or sometimes by you(selfbuffs) that increase your stats

In many servers,you get them in a NPC buffer located in town,which many times can give u all kind of them,or atleast most of them

 

Normally,you get buffs from other classes

this is done,so these classes are beeing playable

 

If you are a wizard,you must increase Cast speed,Matk,Pdef,Mdef,Speed etc

If you are fighter,you must increase crit rate,crit dmg,att spd,Patk,evasion,speed,pdef,mdef etc

 

Be careful with buff limit

ex,if server has 24 buff slots(talking about IL) if u get more than 24,the first buffs goes away

in Gracia chronicles,buffs are specialized,to BUFFS and Dance/Songs

General Information about Dyes!

More information Here

 

Attribute system

Each character skills have an attribute

like water,fire,wind

mages skills have an attribute 90% of times,and that's something that categorizes them

px Necro skills have DARK,spellhowler's ones are dark+wind,sps water etc

after Gracia,there is attribute stone system

i would make a guide for this,but there is one perfect Here

 

Fame

Or Personal Reputation Points

you get them by castle siege,fortress siege,terittory wars and festival of darkness

 

with them you can get PVP armor/PVP weapons,that boost you even better(do it in master near grand olympiad in rune& aden)

more information Here

 

Seven Signs

Seven Signs is a retail event of Lineage2

it lasts 2 weeks

one week,you can register in one of two sides(dawn or dust lol i don't remember)

in this week,you can enter in ANY catacomb you want,and acquire Mantras(u make them Ancient Adena after)

in second week,if your 'team' wins(dawn most times) you can exchange mantras for AA and AA for items,like cp potion,bsoe etc

and only winners can get into catacombs the second week

notice that u can register only in 1st week

 

Craft!

L2,as official doesn't have GMSHOP's(don't look for one if u join one xd)

So,armors/weapons/jewels MUST be crafted(and other mats,like soulshots/arrows)

Only Maestro class can make quality craft(high level,armors etc)

 

Some Armors/weapons have 60/100% rate,so there is a chance that it will fail!

 

Spoil

Many items(especially mats) are found difficulty

If you are a Fortune seeker(dwarf) you can make item easier than normal way

you can use SPOIL skill,and when mob dies you earn more items than just drops!

 

Enchants

In game Lineage 2,and in most MMORPG,you can enchant many things in your inventory(such as weapon/armors) to gain boost vs other characters

In retail servers,safe is +3(safe enchant) and it has 2/3 chance to be successfully enchanted

In private servers(what we mostly play) they may have changed it(so care)

You can obtain enchants by drops,etc,but in most servers they are at Gmshops

(a little tip:Even 90% isn't big chance,care)

 

also,there is blessed enchant,where our weapons when breaks,isn't converted at crystals but at +0

 

In newer chronicles,when u enchant armors/jwels! you gain HP!

 

Also,armor sets +6 give more boosts!

(note:What we want to enchant,must be same grade with scroll and type)

 

SA system

A big part of all MMORPG games :)

In them,you have to go at many NPC ,and they tell you to do some things,and in the end,when you complete it you get rewarded

rewards may be adena,or an item,or a way to get into a raidboss etc!

Also,there are quests for Class Change,and Nobless/subclass
