Long term L2 player here. I have played on many low rates, never past C5 however. I want to start playing on a server with a updated chronicle (Nexus) but I'm hesitant because I've been told so much has changed between what i know of L2 (which is everything pertaining up to C5) and Gracia Final.

I dont have that much time a week to game and cant guarantee week by week activity - because of this ive never really been social w/in clans. So i guess my questions are: can someone give me a quick rundown of how gracia final works and tips on how to accomplish getting end game gear w/out being in a clan?

In C5 for example, I would just do relics quest in first few rooms until i had 1k relics, do 4s quest, and I would be decked out. I've never been able to SA a S grade weapon or obtained S grade armor - which is disapointing, but I guess I have always had "good enough" gear. I've been thinking Gracia final is going to be far more complicated and I'll will just end up at a even more gear disadvantage than I am used to.

The more info I'm given the better off I'll be.

Thanks for your help

unfortunately gracia final is clan/const party chronicle
w/o them u wont be able to achieve anything, the only way for u to get something better than s grade is trade (buy from other players)
if i may give u some advice, better wait for h5 on rpg-club (mid august), this is a lot more random-friendly chronicle and u can get s80/84 stuff on ur own, however u will have to learn a bit more about the game

^ thanks for the advice! I'll prolly wait for H5 then, sounds like that chronicle well suits me.

Do you have any ideas on how and where I can start researching for H5, so i can have a game plan going into the server on how I can reach my goals and obtaining end game gear?

Especially looking for recommendations regarding a good class for soloing, I will most likely have a support box if its allowed.

start from reading all patch notes above c5 , u may not believe in that but im serious, start HERE
for more info about updates search l2blah or official boards

about a class - i would pick tyrant or archer for h5

Sweet man, thx again. i never knew official site had the patch notes so organized and available like that.

I'll be ready to ace an exam on that shiz once the new server is launched. . . .

Take care yo
