Open Beta Weekly Contest Tips

Here is a brief summery of our last weeks community tips!

If you missed it, we are running the contest again this week, simply go to this thread for details and you might be our next 10k NX winner.

Do ‘em side quests

Make sure you grab the side quests you find in town. This game is designed so that if you skip all the side quests, you will be unable to progress on your main quests due to level restrictions on the mainline quests. At which point you will have to choose between grinding or doing the side blue quests so why not do them along side the main quest to save time.

Easy grinding 18-24

One of the easiest way to level from 18-24 is to spam Astral Coven Laboratory – giant spider boss! It is a very short, very easy map which you can finish on Master difficulty within 5 minutes and gain an easy 10% exp per run even past level 20. Do not kill the small white spiders. They don’t need to be killed to keep going on.

If it doesn’t look useful, it probably isn’t

Items that are white and don’t have a meaningful description are usually so called “vendor trash” which you can feel free to sell to any npc for it’s shop value. It’s painful to see them listed on the Marketplace only to expire within 12 hours and waste a precious Market listing slot.

Commission rewards are trash!

When you do a commission, don’t open the bags, resell them unopened. SO much more money that way.

Use your Revives

Everyday you are giving 5 blue hearts (under your character’s portrait), these are free dungeon revives. Seeing how they don’t stack up past 5, there are no point saving them. Try to use them before you use cashshop potions.

Use Marketplace

When you need items like Crude Onyx or Crude Diamond, you can sometimes find it for much cheaper than its worth! Even if you don’t need them, buy them and resell them for higher. You can sell almost anything in the marketplace. Although there is a limit of 30, it will reset every week (on Sunday). You can make a fortune, especially selling Crude items.

A Penny saved is a penny not spent?

Save up. Throw a % of your gold into the storage for example if after a days run you end with 10-30g throw about 15 of that into the storage, gold in the storage will be *forgotten* and thus you will be a lot less tempted to buy things with it. Before you know it, you will have a small fortune to spend on that rainy day (Epics cough…).

Titles are good mmky

Titles play a big role in Dragon Nest, you can obtain the best title in Open Beta is called Almost won the Lotto. This title gives +25 Attack, +25 Magic Attack, +500 HP and +300 MP. To obtain this title, you need 1000g and a full set of +7 gear. This can be achieved easily by getting a loan from a friend or guildie and finding a set of +8 greens.

How to save your skill reset

When you finish your class change, you will normally get a skill reset that expires in 7 days. If you skip the last part of the quest (talking to Irine), you will still be able to finish your class change while saving your skill reset scroll for the future.
