Quoted from "mitchellhein;275710"

As far as losing Affinity and Charisma goes... I think it has to do with the fact that you can Summon them and Hide them. Last night, I left my house and quit the game with the maid summoned... and when I checked in the morning, she had lost most of her points (94/80 back to 9/9).

I then built her back up to 85/80 again, and pressed the hide button to de-summon her. When I checked a few hours later, she hadn't lost any points while "hidden". Not a guarantee against weirdness or glitches, but my expectation is that they don't lose points while they are hidden. (or at least they lose them at a much lower rate).

This hasn't been my experience - I left all of my maids (that were all at full everything) sitting out all night and, even after the maintenance, they haven't lost anything.

Quoted from "Mavoc;275523"

I currently believe that 200k is the correct amount and 30k is the bugged amount

I have picked up 5 maids each for my toons and i believe that getting 5 maids for less then a mil total is to cheap. the govinia prices seem more balanced for the value. Hence why I purchased all my maids already and powerleveled them before the system changes

I'm personally inclined to disagree. I don't think an extra 20 points to the other skills is going to be worth an extra 6-7 million. (edit: only need 5 maids for all 100 skills, 6th 6 million maid is completely worthless)

That being said, I think they got their pricing system wrong. The first maid should be far and away the most expensive. (it gives you 80 skill points in every skill, and 100 in one skill) while the rest of the maids should be significantly less expensive. (they're just giving you an extra 20 points in a different skill)

But hey, whatever. I'll take my one, maybe 2 maids. and laugh with my 80 to most, and 100 to 1 (or 2) skills.

Also gonna hold off on buying ANYTHING until either the prices are confirmed, and they fix the (presumably?) funkiness with charisma. If it really affects duration of the affects, I want to wait for maids with 100 to be available for types other than weapons.

OOoOOO?? So even if your a mage you only get the salad for cooking... Oh well I guess I'll keep the maid I picked up willy nilly with only 80 skill in cooking.. The 100 skill is in defense ROLF! Talk about not paying attention when I first bought mine.

Thanks for the excellent guide, dude.

Quoted from "aerieon;275383"

From what I can tell the price of the "maid" changes depending how many you have. My first maid cost 30k, IF I was to buy a 2nd one it would cost 60k. I "assume" that it will continue going up in price the more maids I have. I also "assume" that if I let the one i have now go, and rebought another maid it would cost 30k.

Obviously it depends on the economic conditions of your country, but around where I live in real-life, maids are extremely costly to hire and only very rich people have them.

If you ask me, realism ftw.

You're missing some potions in the crafting section too. I can't remember what it was called ...something like hot love or sacred love or whatever but it sets you on fire and I think it raised some kind of crit but I can't recall. I feel like there is another missing also, but I'll have to log in later to find out.

Nice guide though!

Realism? Come on. Having handful of maids available for hire once an hour and their wage/price is static regardless of the insane demand is nothing close to realism. Who gets a maid in this game is the person lucky to click the fastest, not who can pay the most.

Oh... my god. YES! STICKY!

(I was woundering where this post went to, though it was somewhere on the second page. O.o)

Hehe Hathore, ill be making a guide to siege too as well. Just dont have all the screenshots yet. (Have one on how to use Arsenal, how to use The 1k Merit valor thing, and how to use crystals. just need screenshots of all ingame "traps" that can be bought with merits and Im done.

Thanks guys for reading it, a few people (ill not mention names) on Reni dislike my walkthroughs (I have a series on Youtube, search for Verinon) so I was worried about posting it here.

Thanks again, and keep updated for my siege guide!

Interesting. I've been checking fairly regularly, (still wanting a decent looking 92 inventor, now that I know they don't go up to 100), and it's been at least a couple hours since they repopped... heck, they've all been hired for over an hour.

Sorta kills the 30 minutes to half an hour repop theory... unless it's just bugged like most of the rest of

I'd actually beg and plead for this to be in the "Guides" section as well.
This guide is just plain too useful to not be forever where everyone will be bound to look for it.

And BTW, Dragonchampion?

I admit freely I am impolite, rude, mean-spirited and a whole slew of words not safe for this website. I am also honest, knowledgeable and experienced with a wide variety of MMOs, so you can get over it.

Seems to be a waste, at least for now. I have two, chatted 6 times and each is max Fatigued. Not sure when the Fatigue resets either, or how to lower it.
