Sweet, we needed more focus on guildleves. They are the most important component of this wonderful game.

on a contructive note, battle leves are worth doing imo. they're pretty quick to finish and i've been getting in the neighborhood of 5k sp for completion at bw/halatali. i did a faction today and got over 7k sp for completion as well.

Ruby, was that before or after today's patch? Because it seems as if they were going to buff them back up a tiny bit.

After, Rid. in 1.18, leves were basically SP wise not worth doing. After 1.18a, they are more SP ( especially when linking) per hour than a good grind pt. Not by too much, mind you, so I assume the general consensus atm is do leves when you can, and when you can't, SP pts are almost just as good.

I did 6 total leves of my own, r40 leves, and about 4 which i did not have the leve for. Ranging from 2-3 links, I made 5.5-6.5k per leve which i had, and 900-1.1k for leves which I did not. Total i made 75k SP in 1 hour 30 minutes. IMO this is not bad for an hour and a half worth of work. Once every few days you can break up the boringness of grinding with a few hours of leves.

Yah, that's not way far behind what we used to get from the big three back in the day. Glad to hear it's not completely dead.

Leves got boring, but so does grinding. It's good to have options... OPTIONS!

Do these gms on right and left have gun blades or just normal swords?

If they add gear like that a lot more people would be motivated to play.
