[quote=ObsidianFire]I have Vampire Lvl. 2 (almost Lvl. 3) and it is so worth it. It really helps with survivability and I spend way less mesos on pots.

Just be prepared for lots and lots and lots and lots of grinding...[/quote]

Are you a regular NL? cuz it seems to not drop to me.

You can, it just takes longer. Or significantly less time if you're very strong.

OT: I'd recommend getting Vampire if you have a lot of free time, it's very useful.

@jeshurocks: MPE. It drops from the Boss. Get a big spider first and it'll help.

@jabbathan: It's actually really easy. And that's coming from me in Renegades.. Basically learn the prices in your world (just spend time in the fm and it'll come pretty naturally), get a shop permit, sell boss drops from like Gollux, Zak, Hilla, and RA everyday for startup money and then buy low sell high. For the bossing part you can get lots of Occults now and those sell for a decent price and you can also Hilla and take the equips and extract them for superiors to sell. Also don't forget Big Spider Familar and Greed Pendant come in handy when bossing.

@aeswag: Ahh okay thanks! You're a great help. I need to know how to merch too T_T

@jabbathan: honestly I don't know XD I've just recently learned how to merch and gotten into it so now I can buy it with mesos instead. I think the lock is like a time limited thing but not a 1 time use cause that'd get expensive real fast. And probably around 2-4k nx? It's one of those special promotions so we have to wait and see the specifics when they get released again.

@aeswag: Ahh, may I ask how much those cost? And, it only works one per circulator? Or fully locked a for specific time?

@jabbathan: I was pretty much just aiming for the buff so the other two are something and +4% damage to normal monsters. I'm gonna wait for those inner ability locks to come back into the CS to get two better lines.

[quote=aeswag]I'm trying. Only got two Lunar Dews so far. But the skill seems nice and I'll probably start working on it since I just got 32% Buff Duration. <3[/quote]
Im sorry to ask, but what are your two other lines? Or would it really matter, because your just aiming for for the buff?
OT: I tried going for it once, took about 45mins just to get one, and guess what, I couldnt even pick it up, Idk why tho. But Ill definitely try again

quoting myself:
[quote=shinkudragon]
12 hours of 4X for set one
2.5 hours of 4X for set 2
4 hours of 4X for set 3
3 Hours of 4X for set 4
and 30 mins of 4X for set 5, only have one soul light.

so 22 hours of 4X, not counting around 4 hours of 2x with 1x that i did, nor random af-kings with beholder on[/quote]
after that, it took me 3 hours and 30 minutes of 4x to get the last 9

so total, i wasted 25 hours of 4x drop, and 4 hours of 2x/1x
that's ONLY on the lights, the dews took me i believe a good 10-ish hours, but i couldn't find the documentation i had (an SS on basil)

1. (a) First quest: Empress Might - Collect 20 Lunar Dews
(b) Second quest: Power of the Spirit of Darkness - Collect 10 Nameless Darkness (Do this quest 5 times)

2. (a) For empress might: 10 months ago
(b) For Nameless Darkness: 4 months ago

3. Not sure. I did not hunt for the drops until 3x drop coupon event and 2x drop event
4. Drop multipliers such as: Greed pendant, Easter egg buff or Big Spider/Mutant Pig or Wolf Underling, Inner ability - 13% drop Unique (hard to get), 2x drop event, 2x drop card, 3x drop coupon event (rare)
5. Depends on the situation.

The quest is extremely tedious and frustrating unless you have drop multipliers.
After the Lunar Dews you need to collect Orbs for each level of the Skill.
I believe it goes up to Lv 5, but Lv 1 of the skill is extremely beneficial.

The quest after Empress' Might....
Over a year ago?
About 3 months, maybe longer. I went hunting for the drops every once in a while. It could take less than a month if you do nothing but hunt for the drops.
Drop multipliers and events?
Hell yes it's worth it. I drain so much HP even at lvl 1. It's best to use it when there's a group of mobs. You get to full HP in about 3-4 hits. Maybe it was less hits than that....I forgot.
