There are advanced lightfoot for each clan. You can only use your own clans lightfoot and advanced lightfoot. The others you get from drops you just sell.

You may already have figured this out already but...

Groups are fun especially when you have a good healer with tank support, and I generally tend to use my manuals in these kinda setups as I'm finding I'm having to rest less so using more kung fu etc thus improved xp.

Although it burns the essence a bit quicker I keep chi breathing switched on virtually all of the time for the benefits it gives when fighting etc not just when resting.

Checking in at inns and rezzing there means you don't get the few minutes of rez sick but you do have to then travel back to where you are fighting.

Do you open chests?

I have 2 bronze chests now and would like to know if their is any benefit reallyto finding/buying the keys to these chests.

Some say in the forums just sell them others use them to get clothing using green keys.

I think I can get around 100k for each but not sure on pricing.

Stat boosts from collectable items such as Blue Mind Pill.
Their are others for strength/stamina etc.
Is anyone buying these or taking them to increase their stats perminently.

Clothing. Is it better to stick to the guilds bought cloths or the items gained from quests.

I have opened chests and sold chests. I have used different amounts of keys to open them and different combinations of colours. The bottom line is you don't really know what your going to get.
If you add up the cost of a chest and four keys your looking at around 200k+. Most of the time you only get and item worth a fraction of the cost of buying the chest and keys.
If you gather all the items from kill drops then you havent really outlayed any gold, but remember, if you sell the items you can buy somthing you actually want.
It might be a pot luck thing, but i've only got crap so far, so I now sell them all cheap for quick cash, then buy what I actually want.

Hi, I've been playing 9 Dragons on and off, my characters name is Yu_Shu_Lien and im working on joining the Wu Tang clan.

Good Hunting.

Legerian.

P.S. I'm on the Nirvana server.

Firstly hi Legerian

Secondly, started playing a healer (Wu Tang - Red Phoenix) recently and was wondering if anyone else has tried. I guess I'm a bit more interested how they pan out long term as at the moment I'm thinking of swapping to the hybrid class instead - probably better low to mid term but end game not so highly powerful???
Anyway, can't help feeling a bit underwhelmed by his almost lack of healing ability atm when I compare it to other mmo healers. Ok I know it's not a fantasy setting etc etc but only being able to cast a heal-over-time once a minute seems a little harsh - not particularly group friendly. Would be easier going solo as a hybrid. Does it get better/quicker as you progress - I sure hope so.

ok just been doing a little research on this one. It seems the second heal I get at around OC 9 or 10 is a quick cast that does the same amount of healing so that's better. Also read some slightly more encouraging posts from people that play healers so I'll stick with it. Only draw back it seems is there total lack of functionality in PvP but then I have my tank for that so...

I think if anything it is slower to level once you get to higher levels.

Reached Chakra 12 and only get a little exp from attacks.

I managed to sell some death valley passes today so made some real money finally. Still not sure how I'm going as a whole. Different people seem to have differing advice with concerns to equips and attacks types.

I currently only use slow and paralise for my nuker. I can't let monsters get close to me as they do me in big time, so attack spells (bleed) are just not good for me until I manage to get to FD and maybe the bigger bleed attack.

In the mean time if your looking for me I'm in Death Valley and Drunk Swordsmen.

Made it to Raising Light 1 and moved to the Valley of Hell (Jinan) killing Raiders.

Fun fun fun.

How is everyone else doing?
