Blade and Soul Leveling Problem


Quests give a penitence, and mobs dont really drop trash awards any kind of cash at all. Nothing gives you Blade & Soul gold, like almost nothing awards you any substantial amounts of cash. So you start to hit areas where, you are asked to craft! because hey that sounds cool!

Then you start to notice you have no copper left suddenly... and it all sort of accumulates into a disaster. Everything in game costs copper/silver/bns gold, and game is ULTRA stingy about giving it to you, further they made many professions utterly pointless for making cash, as they give out those SAME items like candy. Dumplings and Potions?

So leaves you with the ultimate question...how do you earn enough cash to sustain your self? the answer is Ceramics... and grinding quartz as its ONLY reliable way to really earn enough cash to keep going. You could farm weapons OPPS sorry those are untradable.


I think the problem is pretty self-explanatory, sitting at level 30 and cant afford the bell because game just isn't giving me any cash... and its been a problem since level 10 or so... i don't understand how they expect us to craft and do the things we need to do... its like they WANT us to buy BNS gold or something..

Vendor Items 5-10 silver at level 1
Cost to retrieve items from mail: around 1-1.5 silver
Average Reward for level 30 quest: 10-20 copper
Average Reward for Story Quest: around 5 silver

Especially when you realize not all of the breakthrough items are tradeable, Deva weapons for example CANT be traded. i'm usually pretty good at finding a decent source of cash but in this game? i'm not at 0 or anything but i notice my cash flow barely moves.  I don't know i just feel like game is super stingy with its cash, and are so many sinks its impossible for anyone not playing 24/7 to really earn a living.

The Cash Shop Item Price of Blade & Soul

Although we call it cash shop, it allows you to purchase items without actually spending your money, because you can get Hongmoon Coin in the game by selling gold to other players at auction house. If you are going to have Blade and Soul Gold and also curious of the item price of the cash shop, here's a glimpse at it.

First take a look at the price of some items including costumes, crafting materials, consumable items, and weapon skins, etc.







The price refers to NCoin which can only be purchased with real money and can be used in NCsoft's other MMOs. The rank point refers to Coin which can be earned by playing the game or selling gold in auction house.

NBA 2K16: Popovich doesn't give a 'damn' about coaching award

Due to San Antonio Spur excellent play, the NBA announced on Monday that Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich won the Western Coach of the Month award for the month of December. The San Antonio Spurs had the league-best record in December, going 14-2 and were a perfect 10-0 at home in the month.

This was the sixteenth time Popovich has won Coach of the Month honors and he now has the distinction of being the only coach in NBA history to win the award that many times. True to form, Popovich remained surly about the recognition with reporters before the Spurs played the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday. But Popovich did reveal that he would be more excited if the award actually involved a prize.

Hard to argue with Popovich on this. A free car for essentially being an employee of the month would be a very nice perk. The NBA 2K16 MT does have a partnership with Kia and players receive cars for winning the All-Star game MVP, so it is not unrealistic for coaches to get a car for winning Coach of the Month.

And to think if the NBA did hand out cars to Coach of the Month winners, Popovich would have sixteen cars. That may sound like a lot of cars but not for Popovich, who appreciates the finer things in life, and also apparently has the need for speed.
