What are EP points?
EP is a system that let you boost your stats and skills; you obtain EP by killing bosses and bams (very low EP) and by completing vanguards. The EP exp you gain at the start of the day (after 4 am) is extremely boosted, then you reach a daily soft cap and the EP you gain from every source sinks.
Here is a guide to maximize the daily soft cap: https://docs.google.com/spread…cAGLDuktYYfg2k/edit#gid=0
Check for the best EPs for you class on discord channels or in game; just don't wast EP points on "EP damage" EPs since they're not worth.
Quote from BluefrostIs item XP is for enchanting?
Yes, it is. The more item exp you have on gear, the higher is the success %; however, only Twistshard can be boosted to 100% succes chance with item exp alone, then from Frostmetal inward you can't reach more than 60% with item exp (and the percentage is lower on Stormcry and Hero); failure can add more %, you can virtually reach 100% (but I hope it never happens to you or anyone else).
Quote from BluefrostIt seems enchanting is the main money sink now?
Yes, it's a money sink, especiall after you reach Hero (Frostmetal and Stormcry are bearable, but could be pretty heavy for new/long time returning players).
Quote from BluefrostTheres also some skills you need to get from completing a quest?
It's called apex, and it is a great boost for every class. At the moment, every class has it, and you can obtain those skills after a long quest that you unlock at item level 439 (full Frostmetal+0 ca.)
Apex and EPs changes completely the playing style of your class, so at start you are probably going to feel very uneasy about it, but both are great boosts.
Hi
That explains a lot, thanks
