I made an account after reading this thread.

For one, my character hits for shit and he is lvl 16 now.

Second, I was very annoyed when I found some stone with the shape of a sword in it only to find out that I will need to pay $20 to use it if and when I find the rest of the parts.

Talk about killing a game right off the bat.

I think the stone with shape of a sword in it was for making the "Sword of Awe"?

used to, it was ok but i just couldnt get into it.

You people are talking about the Blade of Awe, it isn't that great. You can get better Earth weapons on stores. About the characters hitting for low damage, even my level 74 character hits for the maximum of 100 damage per turn, and that's when a critical happens. It all comes down to using a combination of your attacks, pet attacks, and if you're a warrior, guest attacks, all put together, you'll hit for almost 100 even at lower levels.

You can make your character go to the higher levels with a free account, just because somethings are paid, it doesn't mean that you can't access higher level idumentary, most high leveled weapons used for character builds, are Adventurer class weapons.

@Outlawauron. I stopped playing my first character after that war event was over, because they didn't make another war event for a long while. Now for the past few months there has been three war events, one of them being for the highest level, 130, and the other two for everyone, guardians and adventurers.
