A Real Problem While Leveling in Blade and Soul

Quests give a penitence, and mobs dont really drop trash awards any kind of cash at all. Nothing gives you Blade & Soul gold, like almost nothing awards you any substantial amounts of cash. So you start to hit areas where, you are asked to craft! because hey that sounds cool!

Then you start to notice you have no copper left suddenly... and it all sort of accumulates into a disaster. Everything in game costs copper/silver/bns gold, and game is ULTRA stingy about giving it to you, further they made many professions utterly pointless for making cash, as they give out those SAME items like candy. Dumplings and Potions?

So leaves you with the ultimate question...how do you earn enough cash to sustain your self? the answer is Ceramics... and grinding quartz as its ONLY reliable way to really earn enough cash to keep going. You could farm weapons OPPS sorry those are untradable.

I think the problem is pretty self-explanatory, sitting at level 30 and cant afford the bell because game just isn't giving me any cash... and its been a problem since level 10 or so... i don't understand how they expect us to craft and do the things we need to do... its like they WANT us to buy Blade and Soul gold or something..

Vendor Items 5-10 silver at level 1
Cost to retrieve items from mail: around 1-1.5 silver
Average Reward for level 30 quest: 10-20 copper
Average Reward for Story Quest: around 5 silver

Especially when you realize not all of the breakthrough items are tradeable, Deva weapons for example CANT be traded. i'm usually pretty good at finding a decent source of cash but in this game? i'm not at 0 or anything but i notice my cash flow barely moves.  I don't know i just feel like game is super stingy with its cash, and are so many sinks its impossible for anyone not playing 24/7 to really earn a living.

Blade & Soul Soul Guide: Great Power behind the Martial Artists

The power can be converted into attack and defense abilities and a variety of properties. In Blade & Soul, the martial artists gain power from the elements in the surrounding environment through their bns gold, training and meditation.

The Soul Shield is simply one of the Blade & Soul items. In addition to weapons and accessories, the Soul Shield is also an important item for a game character. Your Soul Shield consists of eight pieces, each piece with the ability to increase the power. If you collect and use 3, 5, or all 8 pieces as a set, then there will be bonuses. A set of Soul Shield is worth collecting. As long as the name is the same, the pieces are considered a set regardless of the level. Therefore, you don’t have to collect pieces of the same level to have a set.

Martial artists don’t use armor for protection. Instead, they make use of training, meditation and the surrounding elements. Despite the absence of armor, your Soul Shield will do a good job of enhancing your offensive and defensive abilities. Characters are required to be clothed to activate their blade and soul gold.

Overview
Your Soul Shield is made up of eight individual pieces, each angled in a specific direction around it. Throughout your adventures you’ll collect the pieces that can be used in your Soul Shield, which then increase your performance. Each piece is also a part of a set, and additional bonuses can be gained by using 3, 5, or all 8 pieces of a set—which also allows 3 and 5 piece choices of different sets to be mixed and matched.

It should also be stated that, while attacking without any clothing on can be an imposing sight for your enemy, it’s required that you be clothed for your Soul Shield to be active. The most powerful and versatile martial artists seek out Soul Shield pieces, and attempt to complete each of the sets in their entirety.

5 Cheap Good EPL Goalkeepers in FIFA 16

Here is a list of the five best cheap goalkeepers from the English Premier League in FIFA 16 Coins.

1. Michel Vorm
Age 31,Netherlands
Taking his overall rating of 80 into consideration, you probably won’t expect much. But chances are that you will be surprised. He’s a real shot stopper and is quick of his line. He’s pretty good in the one on one situation. While he’s not as good as some keepers in collecting crosses, he’s not bad at it either.

2. David Ospina
Age 27, Arsenal,Colombia
This goalkeeper is always strong in the FIFA Ultimate Team. Many FIFA 16 fans consider this rating in a little bit underrated because he did well with Arsenal last season and particularly well withColombiain CopaAmerica. But Ospina is very slow, and sometimes there is no enough speed to intercept. Despite the downside, he’s still good.

3. Tim Krul
Age 27, Newcastle Utd,Netherlands
Here is another Dutch footballer on the list. He’s such a solid keeper that he’s actually deserves a rating of more than 79. He’s definitely one of the most underrated keepers in the Premier League. The 27-year-old always clearly jumps out to intercept and calmly dealt with the most dangerous moments.

4. Ben Foster
Age 32, West Brom,England
Ben Foster is a wonderful keeper from the West Bromwich Albion. He’s a good choice for starter keeper because of the long throw trait. He’s non rare and therefore cheap.

5. Maarten Stekelenburg
Age 33, Southampton,Netherlands
He was the best goalkeeper at the World Cup 2010 and was rated 85 in FIFA 12. He can be an amazing keeper in the game and save many. In FIFA Coins, his stats look pretty decent for a 77 rated player.

NBA 2K16 Tips: How to Rep Up Quickly(I)

In My Park mode, you can take your MyPLAYER character online and join one of three MyPARK communities: Rivet City, Old Town and Sunset Beach. Each community has their own special ability boost.

Here NBA2K16STORE will show you the tips how to rep up quickly in NBA 2K16 My Park:
1.The dribble up 3pt shot(especially early in the clock) is the dumbest shot in the game. All 3pt shots should come from a pass or from a dribble move and break away from a defender. Even if you are wide open, and a 3pt specialist, and your 3pt shot is lvl 99, its still a low percentage shot. Id say about 10% as i notice( for players 80+ its lower for you lvl 72 scrubs). Then most of the time when someone actually makes 1 they try 4 more and never make any of them.

2. dont heat check. This istn real life, ur not "feeling it." You are not kobe. The game has very set parameters when it wont allow you to score. Heat checking usually does nothing but make you go cold. You cannot "will it" in. You should have noticed this after about 3 games. Stop smoking crack.

3. Theres a thing called the shot clock. Its 24 seconds. WE dont have to shoot in the first 5 seconds. This is called basketball. Welcome friend.

4. ties into 3. when you are the pg and you bring the ball down teh floor, stop at the top of the key. All you fools are more concerned with your dribble moves than you are actually looking at the floor. You dont have to run straight into the paint(usually right into all of the defenders because hes not looking at anything) right when you pass half court every time. you should get in the habbit of holding R1 while you walk down the floor so your icons to pass are already up. For me most times im pressing R1 before the camera even swings around so im ready to pass to someone whos open.

5.When you are the pg and you bring the ball down teh floor LOOK AT YOUR TEAM AND THE DEFENDERS NOT YOUR DUMBASS CROSSOVER MOVE. The most common mistake you all make is to do a crossover every single time, routinely. As the game goes on, the more dribble moves you do the more likely you are to get stripped at some point. The game is keeping track of how many dribble moves you are doing.

Aside from that most of the times if you just look where you are going and look for the defenders you can just walk away from tehm and avoid getting stripped. Also dribble moves make your dude tired. And they are NOT needed at halfcourt on every single possession. The number of your nba 2k 16 mt doing this crossover at half court with no defender near you astonishes me.

Blade & Soul Founder's Packs: RU Version VS NA Version

I intend to not compare the bns gold price because the market is very different. Let's focus on the rewards. Blade & Soul is coming to Russia and will be published by Innova. The Russian version has also got its Founder's Packs and I think it's worth doing a comparison for the RU version and NA/EU version.

So generally the packs of the 2 versions give very similar rewards. There are some differences though, that the Russian version give accessories (only for the Guru Pack) and gems that directly enhance players' combat power while the NA/EU version give convenient items such as potions, food, repair tools.

Besides, the RU version offers higher level of premium bonus. Things can the NA/EU version has but the RU version doesn't include the voucher to reset your character's appearance, extra character slots, name reservation slots, etc.

So if you ask me which version I prefer, I'd say I like the Russian version if I'm going to purchase a pack because it gives you gear and gems that boost your stats at the beginning.

But from the standpoint of average players who are not going to purchase any packs, they probably think the NA version is better because the rewards are mostly convenient items and cosmetics of Blade & Soul Gold.
