Question Weekly Questions Mega-Thread - September 28, 2026

It's time once again for a brand new questions thread! Your go-to place for questions and answers of all variety. Happen to have started playing recently and have some confusing things you want cleared up? Maybe you picked the game back up after a long absence? Or maybe you're a seasoned player wanting the finer details of something explained? Ask away! There's no such thing as a stupid question, and we're all here to help.

  • Try to keep your questions specific! It'll be much easier for us to give you the answer you need than if you generalize too much. Don't worry if you can't though, we'll ask for more information if we need it!

  • Keep an eye on the thread! Someone may have answered or expanded on a question as a reply to someone else. Or maybe someone else asked something you didn't know you wanted to know. Maybe someone asked something that you can help chip in and answer!

Was browsing on AH to calculate how much money I need to save up to get the Ceann Bliana Scholar's Set (that's the BiS for Dark Diviner right?) and saw lots of people selling incomplete pieces. Why is that? Does the rolled set effect remains fixed even after it's finished so people abandoned if it didn't roll the 5 max set effect?

2

u/Cryozen Newchar500 - Guide to Guides on Sidebar 13d ago

Ceann Bliana is currently one of the primary BiS choices for a Diviner.

Set effects are determined on the first tap, so if they don't get the desired roll it may not be worth finishing them.

So tailoring quality doesn't affect how much points the item get for the set effect then?

Also, do you know how many tailoring quality gears you need to get a max roll +100 MATK for the Ceann Ringbands? I have Dan 3 tailoring, a 14/20 quality tailoring kit, a Steady hat, and a Designer Daunting clothing; would those be enough to get a max roll with wiggle room to spare (I sometimes tend to get nervous and shaky during the minigame)?

u/Cryozen Newchar500 - Guide to Guides on Sidebar 13d ago

Correct the set effect roll is completely random.

In order to get +100 to MA I believe you need to reach a quality score of 80. I think you probably have enough bonuses as long as you mostly properly line up on the minigame.

Before you make your Ringbands though, I would recommend practicing on a low cost item (e.g hairbands). Try to sign as many of them as you can until you're comfortable with the minigame. The repetition may help as a warmup.

Oh that's a great idea. I will definitely do that. Thank you!

The last time the music partner was sold was in 2020. Is there any chance of that coming back sometime soon?

u/Cryozen Newchar500 - Guide to Guides on Sidebar 16d ago

Laighlinne was last available during the 2025 All Hallows Harvest Sale.

If she returns to the cash shop, it'll most likely be during Samhain in October (within a month). Otherwise she'll likely show up during Black Friday. She was not in the last Black Friday sale because she was in the previously mentioned All Hallows Harvest sale. The last time she was in a Black Friday sale was in 2024.

u/Xalxa 16d ago

Awesome, thanks. And it looks like the Wiki is outdated, since it says 2020. Though maybe it isn't meant to list every sale period?

u/Cryozen Newchar500 - Guide to Guides on Sidebar 16d ago

It may be a low priority update or an old format that's no longer being used.

It's somewhat difficult now to go back and fish out every sale pets have been part of. Most of the time sale web pages are buried between other monthly sales as well.

To get to PR 4-5 Skirmisher gear, is it base purely on RNG?

2

u/pwnagekirby 16d ago

According to every crafter I've talked to, yep. Nothing you can do to improve your set effect rolls besides getting lucky.

(Unlike with Quality bonuses which only apply when you finish) You can tell what set effect roll it'll have after the first tap, though, so if you don't see 4-5, get rid of your unfinished piece so the skill doesn't try to add completion to the one you aren't keeping.

1

u/HeyYouNotYouOkayYou The Fire Archer 16d ago

oh is that how it works. I always thought that number will be different with the final product.

I've been buying the "cheap" unfinished piece; no wonder why they're cheap...

Huge thanks!

D-robe upgrade vs direct craft, upgrade path use more mats right?

2

u/Cryozen Newchar500 - Guide to Guides on Sidebar 15d ago

It depends.

The destructive crests for upgrades will always cost 45 BMEs each (or 90 total), so you can only potentially save during the Void Robe phase (and no you can't save a destructive crest, it's likely hard coded to not be savable).

On average it'll likely take between 6-7 taps to finish the void robe or 42-49. So as long as nothing goes wrong you likely in total will spend 141 BMEs (Baring refunds on the void craft).

The Drobe similarly will take 6-7 taps. So similarly at most you will likely spend 140 BMEs. You do have a higher chance to save BMEs so the cost might come down lower, but you also might get unlucky and need more than 7 taps (which means you also are going to spend more).

this doesnt account for life master title that refunds a small amount of materials

1

u/HeyYouNotYouOkayYou The Fire Archer 15d ago

yep, i am not sure what's the refund rate is, so i left it out.

1

u/TangerinePaladin 15d ago

without googling i think its variable from minimum of 2 bme- to 20% per attempt, ive heard its pretty reasonable to get 20 back for the whole d robe - some getting like 40 back total

1

u/HeyYouNotYouOkayYou The Fire Archer 15d ago

If that's true, it'll make the direct path more appealing!

1

u/Yanm15 Nao (Yanm) 14d ago

I want to ask, are you factoring in the D-robe upgrade manual itself? Cause those aren't cheap or super common from what I've seen on AH. Void and Abyssal patterns are but the upgrade ones have seemed to risen in price for awhile now.

u/Peach-Dee 10d ago

Is there a way to disable the "E" bubble above interactable objects?

1

u/downbook 10d ago

If you mean "Nearby Interaction" you can blank out that key in your hotkeys by pressing ESC when selecting keys to modify, once it is blank those bubbles will no longer appear, if you still want that feature though I don't recall seeing a way to hide the bubble while retaining the interaction key.

What to do with our Neartites? Save them and let them become passes? Or use them now? For anyone that has information from Korean server. Are the chest drops the same as using Neartites?

1

u/Cryozen Newchar500 - Guide to Guides on Sidebar 15h ago

Anecdotally, somebody was able to fully craft a Drobe (0-crafted) post Neartite removal within a month (10k runs). This suggests at minimum rates don't decrease between updates and optimistically have improved.

I believe we also get a new currency to buy daily passes by running dungeons, so I would think it's still better to save passes for post Neartite removal.

Given this, I don't think you miss out on anything for sitting on your Neartites.

My question is when will Nexon stop bullying GNU/Linux users

7

u/pwnagekirby 16d ago

They don't have a responsibility to make a 22-year-old basically-proprietary engine work on every OS. That said, my personal hope is that it'll be a lot easier come Eternity, since at least Unreal is a more common engine that the Linux community has made work for other games.

3

u/Fat-Man-Fart-Enjoyer 16d ago

It works just fine until they flip switches in NGS randomly. I'm not asking for support just make it so that you're not restricting players.

u/Azure_Aurorae 15d ago

Guess I gotta play Mabinogi Mobile in Japanese until unreal engine remake of the PC ver comes out. Because the kicks are getting quicker and quicker. Pain.
