    Hey bp is cheating gold from us, if you open the slot ( doesnt matter if you take the gem out anot ) the gold is still deducted from the account.
    Serious gold if you are opening 5 slots at a time just to re gem your gears.
    And why eveytime theres a event , the death rate is exceptionally high if you are in dragan.
    Teleport fail almost 3-4/10 times, why so many release yet doesnt fix this skill when players reported its buggy and sick

    Seems your confused, It cost gold to unlock the gem. Pretty obvious with the symbol of an open padlock and a price below it.

    They should change the name of this event to Dragan: the return of begging. People that have no business being in the fight with dragan stand around KH trying to get someone to help them making it harder on all. The only contribution they make to the fight is increasing Dragan's HP and using someone else's rez stones. Hence, more death. Truth is Dragan is easy to kill, hard or normal, with people properly geared for it and appropriately balanced on damage and defense. Problem comes when people that aren't ready to fight him, and therefore dont deserve his gear, conjole somone to do it for them. Sorry to sound bitter, but the population of people that aren't willing to work for themselves to get better really shows during this event.

    Its sounds like you doesnt understand what im trying to mean NOT im confused, visit a jeweler unlock and lock again and see whether your gold does increased or decreased !
    Dont quote people anyhow when you arent sure what you are trying to say
    After patch 155, rangers is made stronger and NOT weaker fyi and you should know more better than anyone else.
    Take your holidays for a spin in dragan hard cavern and you should know what is skill is good and what skills is not.
    Bp is clearly a failure , they expect eevry player to farm like 16-18 hrs to just get that damn cloak and they clearly forgot that most players need to work to sustain themselves and the game need dollars and cents too.
    I have farm more than 10 runs in hard mode, helmet helemt helmet again and again and again endlessly !
    Sorry to say that, judging from the play style you adopt i dont see you are clearly better than anyone else only thing that is you got high resistance that mages can't really scratch you but if i had used a ranger long time ago you more than just minced meat and i know my play style isnt lousy too and many players is aware too

    As @BigPapa said you are confusing yourself and BP is not cheating anybody, please read this follow link - Drakensang Online Guide-Merchant-Jeweler.

    Quoting our official guide:

    "
    Removing Gems
    At the Gem Desk with a socketed item already on the Gem Desk, click the Unlock icon beneath the gem you wish to unsocket. Note that unsocketing gems is not free and will incur the charge displayed beneath the Unlock icon. Once unsocketed, the gem can then be moved into your inventory by right clicking it, dragging it, or simply closing the Gem Desk."

    Have fun! ;)

    That is kind of my point on dragan. My ranger does fine and as my main gets most of my attention, and I help friends and guildies with that toon. But, im frustrated with people this event, level 30's continously asking for help from 50's knowing they really just want someone to burn ess and stones on them and do all the work. And here's my real frustration, for the same 90 pearls they are burning on one of the champions to get a hard pearl for a dragan they cant kill, they could instead do the repeatable, get a normal pearl and easily kill dragan themselves solo. But, it takes more time to do that. So, instead they put the brint of the work on someone else instead of taking care of their own needs. I really consider myself a helpful person with people, running PW's i dont need, escorting them through quests etc. But, killing dragan is a big request for someone I dont know, when I know they are just being lazy.

    My SW and SM are too weak to complete the event to my liking. So I could do a couple of things, stand around KH and beg for help, pester all my friends to do the work for me while i run around trying not to die, or not participate with those characters. I chose the 3rd option; they will not do the event because they would just be a hindrance to other people and slow down their progress. I don't want to be "That" guy. This is also the option I chose when my RA was too weak to participate in the first Sargon event. I'd rather build a character on my own and run with people with similar development until he can contribute equaly to a more capable party, than be the one people wish hadn't asked to join the party.

    Also a suggestion to complete the cloak. Dragan normal has better drop rates than hard dragan which baffles me, and is of course easier to kill. Farm the repeatable in the 90. When I started working on the set I had 20ish normal pearls and 35 hard. Most of the hard ones were carried over from last event. By the time i had finished the normal pearls I only need 6 cloaks. I finished the set in about 3 hours.

    since day 1 of gems ,as long I know we need pay gold for unlocking and crafting it ,never free ,
    for dragan I understand ur frustration especially if u try to get the cloak ,let me share my experience to u my run with my 2hd noobs dwarf ,29 first run in hard mode I manage to has 2 standard knight and 2 lowest tier ( I have 1 standard form event so only need 2 more the lowest tier ) but after it 4 days in rows with minimal 11 runs per day I never see single standard drop anymore ,than I decide to take break and do that again after challenge 2 finish ,than yesterday I did again 10 runs , and 8 first run still nothing ,and finally in last 2 runs I got 2 of them.so keep farming if u really want it ,the only things can stop uto getting that bloody cloak only yourself .happy farming ;)

    The game is bugged through out, and it means alot of times even clicking on the unsocket button several times doesnt open the lock and suddenly the lock just open and closed multiple times and you are charge several times for that.
    Oh thats a good way to overcharge a customer, cheers :D
    And its reported to support since a couple of months back and its kinda of frustrating to send support just bcoz of a few gold.
    you get it:rolleyes:

    1. Everything is working as it should. When you click the padlock ... the gem is taken out of the item ... it is into your inventory.
    2. All the weak players want a free ride ... but then again they are asking for game changes so they can be on pair with the strong players.
    Well ... it doesn't go that way. The players should get strong first ... then they should try playing the hard maps.

    I completely agree with you on your post, but your luck with Dragan normal seems to be very high. 10 cloaks in 20 runs is incredible. I'm personally getting 1 cloak in every 8 runs in normal mode and still haven't gotten any in hard mode yet (in 18 runs). All I get in hard mode is shoulders and helmet, which makes for nice melting but not for getting the cloak.



    To the OP, some players seem to get a cloak almost every run in hard mode, so you may want to do a couple runs in hard and a couple in normal to see which is working for you.

    If normal works better for you,the repeatable 90 quest is the best I've found for getting Dragan pearls. It's a 1 run map, and I've been getting 2 pearls every 3 runs on average.

    Broken wheel, but I'm finding dragan hard really easy with my dwarf, despite being level 48 with a middling 300 dps level 45 gun (5 +15 gems). Dwarven turrets are essence efficient that it generally takes 225 red ess to bring down dragan hard.

    It is not that they aren't ready to fight him. Some of them are quite able and can handle Dragan of their own level.
    The real reason they want to team up with lv 50 character is because they don't want to gain any exp.

    Seems a bit harsh. It's disappointing that we call our friends that ask us for our help beggars. Of course if you are talking about twinks asking for help, totally agree. But i think its more about the class of character than the quality of it. Dwarves have the easiest time, i can carry one person to dragan hard using blue ess (2 ss stones used on me and one rez), ranged attackers have an easier job running and hitting, and i dont understand how dks manage to kill him, something to do with heals. Dwarves can kill the heredur statue easily, i see people in kingshill asking for dwarves.

    I find it a big problem that to get good gear, you need good gear... it feels like you can't improve your gear at all. For a lot of people, this set is an end-game set, so i understand why a lot of people want it so badly that they ask people for help. And BP have not made it easy to allow stronger players to help others, with increased health per group member and how the boss's health gets reset if someone comes in.

    Maybe if this event was done more regularly, there would not be so many people asking for help.

    My comments were not at all a reference to friends. There are many in this game I would do anything for. Not surprisingly they are the ones you interact with routinely and do things with because they have proven to be good people, that not coincedently usually happen to have good toons.

    There are others you work with because you have a similar goal or interest to accomplish in the game and all benefit from mutual interest. Events tend to be this kind of activity. Or, killing hard endgame bosses.

    There is also the help you provide to others because you simply wish to. You see a good person that needs an assist on something and you offer to help them meet thier goals because you can and you want to be altruistic. I think many guildies fall into this category.

    Then there are the ones I implied the event name change refered to. There is a normal map and dragan for all characters. Then there is a hard map and dragan for those that want the extra challenge. Nothing happens in the hard map that does not happen in the normal one. If you can do the normal map, try the hard one. If you can't do the hard map then go back to the normal one. Seems pretty simple. But when faced with the "I can't do the hard map/dragan" the beggers don't fall back to what they can do, instead they beg the ones that can to do it for them. Dragan: the return of begging.

    @BigPapa Dragan Hard seems like the easiest way to get the set ironically. I was farming for dragan normal entries and realised it would take a lot of time to get the set because its not a consistent drop. The hard statue always drops, and if you are in a group, you can split the costs evenly (45 pearls buys two tickets instead of 90 each). I might not have been able to get the dragan set for myself without the help of my friend who appeared to have a 300+ supply of SS stones to which i feel like i used 100 (including rezzing for killing the statues). There was also a learning curve, the first couple of attempts were pretty expensive. The set is good, so good that perhaps the difficulty of getting the set is deliberately so, because BP does not want everyone to be overpowered. If it was not deliberate and that they want this set accessible to all lvl 50 players, i dont feel like the event reflects this.

    Dragan is not new to Dracania.
    He keeps coming back again and again. He comes in two versions every time. He drops uniques which are part of one of the best sets in the game. These uniques have to be combined and crafted to 3rd tier to use the set bonus.
    There is this "Scales to your level no matter what!!" feature this set offers that assures you that you can make use of the lower tier uniques anytime and at any level to combine and form the next tier unique.
    This is the most amazing fact about the WARLORD SET.
    It teaches you many things, if you aren't strong enough to get the set now, don't panic. Keep calm and work on getting stronger. Save the items you have and go beat him again the next time he comes.
    Keep trying and meanwhile grow strong and one day you will wear the WARLORD SET.

    I have played 3 dragan events so far and made my set complete this time. Was a level 30 during 1st event, 45 at 2nd and level 50 now in my 3rd dragan event. And I finally have my set complete.
    I used to get 1 hit KO when I fought him at 30, I could survive the entire fight and efficiently kill him at level 50.
    The difficulty kept decreasing through the 3 Dragan events. BP didn't change anything, It's the same old dragan dropping things in a slightly different rates all the time. It was my character that has been growing strong making it easy myself.

    Dragan taught me one thing, "IF YOU DON'T GET THE UNIQUE, YOU DON'T DESERVE IT YET".
    Happy Farming ;)

    @MANOJ Wow. That is some patience you have. I can understand not getting the set at level 30, but not getting it at level 45 on your second attempt... i might have rage quitted the game if i wanted that set badly. How do you cope when you see lvl 20's walking around with the set on?

    I got the set on my 4th attempt on the last dragan event. It doesnt matter if lvl20's are wearing it and roaming abt, if there is one thing this game has taught me is, if you rage quit, you lose everything you worked hard for in the game. if you work harder, you achieve everything you want to sooner or later. that's the beauty of playing these sorta games. the place where that philosophy clashes is that its the same for real life and real life is more important :D so maybe working a lil less harder in the game is ok :D

    The urge to craft warlord gear leads twinks to troll others to team up. o_O

    Yesterday I got suckered into a pickup group with 3 other 50's for dragan normal. :( I thought team with 3 50's, shouldn't be too bad. ;)
    1 guy never got off a shot. He just watched the others, until he died. :eek:
    None had good essence, or gear, or ander to res themselves. :eek::eek::eek:
    When another died, the team's star hid in the entranceway. :mad::confused::( Finally, he came out and died. :) He couldn't res himself either. :(
    I disabled some lasers, and finally finished off Dragan. :cool:
    I raised the star, but he did not deserve it. :rolleyes: No more stones for the others. :D:D

    Knowing me, I'll probably go again with some terrible group.
    In any case the twink glitch for fast leveling up has consequences to the rest of us as well. When will BP roll them back to reality?
