No. You would need really good friends. Even then it may be pretty hard. Having at least one 70+ armor like swamp+, infernal+ and dark prince+ would make it much easier.

No. But I've been playing for five months and I think this is the first week I haven't had use for at least 1 of the big 4.

It does make the game incredibly tedious, with the Arena, Epic Boss and upcoming Guild Wars (on iOS) the only moments that lighten the tedium.

If Gree don't increase Fusion stone drops (which seem currently to be about 1% of the time), or open a market where you can buy materials for Gold and sell off unwanted materials you have gathered, I will be dropping this game when I have achieved certain self-set objectives, and then be a very occasional player, mostly playing to funnel Gold income into my Guild.

Yeah increased drop rate, or being able to buy fuse stones for ~25-50k gold would help sooo much to alleviate the tedious grind we are forced into. It's not like it would destroy the balance, as I see it. 50-75k for 50EP would be a nice choice for people who don't want to spend hours grinding, and still get decent progression.

Here's the thing. I lost my iphone today including my fairly good progress in K&D.
- Guild master in lvl 44 guild
- lvl 137
- Waiting for bk+ to arrive
- etc

Is there any way to retrive my game progress to my new iphone without my old lost iphone?

If its not Gree really should adress the matter!
Thanks for replies.

Either you grind a lot or you open lots of DPCs for enhancement armors. There's no other ways to play this game.

How many EP each armor level gives you ? Is it an efficient use of gold to increase the level of armours before using them to level up the base armour ?

Snakeskin Armors give you 24 Enhancement Points if the elements of the armor you're enhancing is Water or Earth, or just 20 EP if it doens't match.

And yea it's best to use Common Armors until Level 10 and Uncommons until Level 14, so you're not wasting Snakeskins since it takes awhile to get the mats and craft them.

Then around Level 45-50 Snakeskins won't cut it anymore and you'll have to use fuse basics for 50 EP armors.

Now that I have beaten the Dark Prince I am working on finishing out quests. What is the drop rate of the boss mats? IE Wriggling Roots vs. Hydra Scales. I am farming for the roots but I keep getting the Hydra Scales. I am farming this on normal. Does it make a difference if I go on a higher level?

Do you still remember your friend code from the old account? That is the one piece of information you REALLY need to make a transfer. Besides that, you have everything else: friend code on new phone and MAC address of new phone. But you need your old account's friend code for them to be able to retrieve it. Good luck!

Sorry my question was not very clear. Marco_ mentioned increasing Stonescale to level 11. So I was wondering how much EP a level 11 Stonescale can provide as suppose to level 1 assuming compatible element.

U get 1ep per level from level 2 onwards

uncommons require 600+1600 (2200 total) in enhancing costs just to get it to 11 where as snakeskin requires no enhancing costs for it to have 24ep

so 4100 gold and 80 minutes time for 20 EP for matching element
--or--
3000 gold and 120 minutes time for 24 EP for matching element

---

As you can see it takes less time to make the Level 11 Uncommons, but it takes more gold and yields less EP, not to mention its takes a lot more work on your part since you have to be constantly crafting, waiting, and enhancing.

Snakeskin is less expensive and yields more EP but takes longer to make, but I'd much rather just pop it in the armorsmith and be able to use that time to do other things. And even if the elements don't match it still gives 20 EP that a matching Lv 11 Uncommon would too.

Veloster,
I was about to tell you that Epic seems to give better drop rates of the better materials than Normal, but I re-tested my hypothesis on Skeleton's Tomb and got Snakeskin 5 times in a row on Normal! Last time it was Stone Slabs 5 times in a row on Normal! I guess my n was too low! :p

Still, even on Epic, the higher levels don't drop at 100%. For example, I think I got Wriggling Roots about 65-75% of the time on Epic and the rest of the time it was Hydra Scales. On Epic for Roc Feathers it was closer to 50-60% versus Shiny Shards. Again on Epic, Infernal Iron Chunks seemed to drop a bit more frequently (70-ish%). Unfortunately, I haven't kept track of it precisely, but those are my best estimates. The other caveat is that given my experience with the Misty Marsh, I've really stuck with making my runs on Epic, both for the (assumed) better drop rates and better experience points.

In a randomly generated sequence, streaks are likely :P Anyway, Epic does have the higher % drop rate, I've seen someone do hundreds of tries and he said that the drop rate of Snakeskins on Epic is around 90-95%.

It also makes sense to me that the rate would be lower for the higher map stages, like you posted, but it's still the higher out of all the levels on Epic.

What's the likely hood that a person with two aegis of the dragons (maxed or close to it) and a maxed epic armor is legit?

EDIT: They are also below level 50.

I played someone the other day who had 3 Combustion Armors.
