Epith. Economy and Raiding Guilds (as of 8/24/11)

Well after a few days of both Private Messaging people as well as doing my own research (when I wasn't goofing around on my server...)

Here are a few stats that I collected on Epith..

Economy
"this server has wayyyyyyy too expensive gear" - Kazuchi

Town scrolls

• Roumen / Elderine / Sand Hill ------- 15 to 20s

• Uruga ------------------------------------------ 150 to 200s

• Albestrol Ruins ---------------------------- 200 to 250s

Production Items and +9s

 

• T5 Elrues ----------------------------------- 250 to 300s

• T5 Xirs --------------------------------------- 30g

• Karis ----------------------------------------- 400 to 700s

• T3 Scrolls (*excluding speed) ------ 20s

• T5 Scrolls (* ) ----------------------------- 110s

• T4 HP Potions --------------------------- 30 to 40s

• T2 weapon +9 -------------------------- 25-35g (mainly concerning lv 40 and 50 weapons lv 20 and 30 weapons may be lower)

• T3 weapon +9 ---------------------------- 30-50g

now for some surprises in prices.....

• Emberflame +10 claws --- only 50g o-o I was expecting more since the trend of the economy compared to Teva's is higher. In Teva some would sell for over 1gem even at times close to 2 gems yet these are 50gold...

• Warlock Malephar Top very crappy stats (2 dex 9 int....) -- 4gems to buy out of shop... In Teva we sell them for around 60g to a few gems this one would probably go for around 40g maybe.... this of course is for gear oranges are rarely sold in Teva but are usually for around 10+ gems (excluding bows [very few SS], and cleric weapons). The "logical" reason according to an anonymous source in Clubzero is that well simply and quite logically there are "very few male drops" in the server as well as "we need the money." I do agree that raid is a way to keep academies funded (at least in Teva) and maybe a way to spread the wealth among the guild but even then if these things are actually selling in Epith I will have to say that the desperate people in the server are also a part of what is driving the economy higher in this server.

Raiding Guilds

"LOL drama, your on the right server for drama" - Kazuchi

CluBZero

"sp3c[tral] tried to raid [Karen], we warred them" - Anonymous source.

Considerably friendly guild, an anonymous source from inside the guild, explained to me a lot far as the situation in raid and the server as a whole. The academy is active and pays a lot.

Far as History goes, CluBZero used to be a part of WarGodz the guild splintered and broke in half. The original WarGodz people became Imperial guild. Imperial doesn't raid only Clubzero and Sp3ctral.

Sp3cTraL

"Sp3c has been like one of the guilds that prob were here since the server was created if not is one of the top lasting guilds." - Anonymous source.

Cold, silent guild, I guess this is because, according to an anonymous source from Outspark forums says that they are one of the oldest long-lasting guilds. I tried interviewing the master and a few people all of them acted afk-ed or brushed me off, in the case of the master, he was banning academies as I was whispering him if he could answer a few questions for me never saying a single word not even no. The academy is somewhat quiet and pays well.

Raiding

Helgaleshi the Hellgate King (Helga).

I will need to talk to my sources again since CluBZero was raiding helga but I can't tell if they stopped temporarily or if they are still raiding helga.

Malephar the Lord of Darkness and the Harpies.

From what I understood from people I talked to there are two guilds who share malephar and those are CluBZero and Sp3cTraL. The two aren't friendly with each other in the sense of allies or friends but they do have a sort of truce or treaty far as raid goes. 1 whole day (2 raids in a row meaning the 2 12 hour spawns) 1 guild gets to raid malephar and the harpies uninterrupted then the following day the other guild gets to raid it.

Epith, part 2. Land of Hypocrisy?

Alright so I have re-started, for now anyways, my leveling in Epith before hitting another server. I felt lazy today so I looked for a power-leveler (plv-er), luckily I quickly found swiftlyy. He charged me 100 silver per level so I decided what the hell either way it is only two levels. We both went to Sand Hill and quickly headed to baby werebears. He kited the bears while I stayed put by the fire camp as I went off and checked my YouTube and a few other things. I would say it wasn't even 5 minutes before  a lv 6x fighter and some lv 12 fighter. He quickly comes and mocks and steals poisoned mobs off my plv-er. I, for one, am already used to this sort of stuff so I don't even bother saying a word and just pop open my HyperCam and start recording while my archer power-leveler starts complaining to the fighter to stop kill-stealing (ks-ing). The fighter ignores him and continues to do so even going further to spot claim by dividing the baby werebears saying that half were his and the other half ours. The inconsistency in both was obvious though so my archer advices to me to move to the wolves instead. I agree and we move, again not even 5 minutes before we have people moving into the area. This time it was the two afk nooblets that were close to me by the camp fire, complaining to my archer how he was taking all the mobs. I imagined he was going to say something around sorry or that he wasn't spot claiming, BUT he does the exact opposite... He tells them "too bad" and that he was there first. I found it quite funny but sad at the same time to see this small archer being submissive and scurrying away from a fighter yet openly and arrogantly picking on lv 1x nooblets. I was planning to report the 60 fighter but after seeing that I simply erased the video and shook my head...

Random Graphic Error

Glitch happened while I was chatting with guildies...Reminded me of Final Fantasy 12 in Feywood map.

Short break~

I plan to go back to my 106 main and work on him for a bit so I shall be taking a break on checking out the other servers. I shall resume hopefully in 2 weeks.
