You can survive without those expertise but you will be missing some of the stuffs. As for whether expertise makes the jourmey easier, just slightly . The reasone due
- crafting at npc requires gold while expertise don't but needs time
- npc crafted item WILL always be 2 stars while you get a random of 1-5, rarely 1 and 5
- less materials needed to craft using expertise
- you get three extra title without stat bonus each time u passed a test
- you can get some set only craft-able via expertise like homebound but the stats are pretty negligible , just for the looks as i mentioned
- some items are only craft-able via expertise but they are pretty negligible
- generate some golds by selling profession

Cons
- expertise takes a LOT of time... probably be spending hours crafting there
- mats needed to rank expertise are way overpriced
- mats not available in marketplace which can be frustrating
- offers only up to level 58 equipments which is one tier lower than the current one , level 61 equipments
- 89-99 proficiency takes 1 day per craft due to the quest where you have to clear specific dungeon for 3 times to get 3 proofs and exchange it for 2 beginner
finish
- 189-199 proficiency takes 2 days per two crafts due to the daily quest I mentioned earlier, just that you need 3 beginner finish instead of 2 and you can only get
2 per said day
- 289-299 proficiency takes 2 days per craft , you'll be needed 4 beginner finish per craft

Overall, you don't lose much if you skip expertise if you just play the game for the joy of hacking and slashing, you'll just be missing one component of the game but I still recommend you take some time into if you are willing to spend some gold.

You can uncheck the box at the proxy instead of the rules which will use your normal IP to play instead of the proxy server IP. For less spikes and lags, use OpenVPN especially paid one like Surfbouncer which gives you 1-2 bars in most of the hosts and you get less spikes and lags due to the TCP / TAP eventhough is 1 bar. If it's still spiky and laggy most likely is either your connection is poor in general ( < 5Mbps ), host is lagging ( connection-wise or computer-wise ) , or your computer itself is lagging.

Thank you very much. I think I understand now.

Regrettably...my decision is still not to care about crafting at all, for now...the cost is still too high (money + time + whatever other sacrifices...maybe I'll wait a bit, at least until the money factor "cooldown" - it's hot now due to the event of double crafting exp).

Besides, I could probably just buy whatever nice-looking armors from those crafter, with all those money I saved (plus the time I saved, which could be used on earning more money).

However, I'll keep an eye open for the materials, and whatever I need to get those "beginner finishers"...just in case I changed my mind in the future. And probably I'll spend some time crafting whenever I ran out of silver tokens...which haven't happen at all thus far XD

Thanks again, I bet your information will prove very helpful to all those newbies like me!

* you'll be needing 4 journeyman finish per craft for the 289-299 proficiency so it'll take two days * and also * you'll be needing 3 apprentice finish per craft for 189-199 proficiency so it'll take three days for two crafts * Just some wrong usage of terms and grammatical checking.

Any1 faced a problem when viewing marketplace appear an error that says the malaysia IP and the US proxy IP in the marketplace webpage?How to solve it?

how u guys play this game with permanent. i use proxifier 2.7 and update ip socks 5 always. after the prologue which beats the giant spider i enter town says server delay, then i dc..what happen actually? i test the socks 5 still same problem, hmm

Use Paid VPN service or you gotta hope for a good proxy which I doubt. Ensure to off the proxy at the Proxifier setting to use your default connection once you bypass the login. This also relies heavily on your connection. Hopefully you are using at least a 2 Mbps connection to play. As for the marketplace issue , this is because they detect two different proxies. You got to tick your proxy back to use before accessing the marketplace else they will detect two proxies ; the first one you used to bypass the login and the second one your default IP you are using to play hence you get that error. To solve the problem, restart your client or you got to find another proxy and make sure to tick the proxy before accessing the marketplace though is awfully slow using the marketplace with proxy

I can't register,do it need to on proxy while register?
