Sad to see someone has caused you to leave but I don't think making a post like this helps any situation. Hope to see you back around soon.

When looking at the quest you should have an item in your bag called "Sage King Relic". You can use this item in Aven around the following coordinates (X: 157, Y: 342). You can reset the dungeon first before going inside by right clicking your portrait and hitting "Reset Dungeon".

Heals can crit based on your M-CRIT Rate. Sage and Holy Sage benefit from M-CRIT Rate. Angel of Justice is a different case because that class too was MDPS originally but when I reworked it I thought since your never going to get high magic damage out of a Hammer that the class as a debuffer would also benefit from having some damage. So I made it pdps which would mean halfkins have a less useless passive at the benefactor of the class being useful to a degree.

You cant just split up skills without removing other ones otherwise people with the class already unlocked wont be able to get it.

There isn't really much we can do about this as its a feature of the game. When I used to play I found using them in your player house is the best and safest place to summon these.

Althought I don't really recommend playing mimic for DPS as the Awaken Classes far outshine it some advice I can give is. If you're going to use Drakes Power you should use the full Dragon Knight MDPS combo which includes the M-ATK buff aswell to get the most damage out of this combo. The pro's to using this kinda setup is you dont need cast speed so you can use Heavy Armor and full Multi-Hit build (Double/Triple Hit gems and certificates). If you want the most damage you're best just building it somewhat like an illutionist with Deadly Icicle and then a bunch of CC skills. An alternative to the above and another heavily debated "Highest Damage" build is with a staff and gun equipped using the Engineer mecha form skills (Without the Mecha Form itself). So you'd have Oil Bomb, Black Explosive and Super Iron Man. Black Explosive being your main damage skill. Oil Bomb will make Black Explosive deal Triple Hit Damage (Ratio being 100, 35, 20). Super Iron Man will make your Black Explosive deal Double Damage. For maximum damage you'd also want to swap Glyphs between Black Explosive and Super Iron Man depending on if Super Iron Man is on cooldown or not. In theory there is a lot of damage builds you can go but the above 3 mentioned are the best 3 I've every found / used because other ones require you to play around who has what elemental resistance. When using mimic heres some advice you should follow. Holy Prayer is almost a must (Which you have) along with any of the Anti-CC aura's from Sage (Hammer friend which you have is the best). Next the Ranger 72 skill is really good for mimic as its free resistances (I forgot the name). And finally for PvP you might wanna find space for both Painful Wound (Hunter Skill) and the Engineer Stun Skill in combination with the Glyph for that skill as then you have a 6 second long stun.

Depeneding on your Windows UAC settings most EXE files should ask you for permission to be run if downloaded from the internet. As for safe? Ofcourse its safe to use. As for your initial question. The app installation takes long because you only download the patcher and then the patcher downloads the game. Our download server should be as good if not close to any other CDN's as I someone who is far from the server downloads it pretty fast. Just remember the games aren't small so it can take a while to download all their files.

I'm not 100% sure as we fixed some settings for keybinds but I don't remember off the top of my head of what setting it was. The best advice I can give is go into game try bind it and if it doesn't work I can look into it.

It's been a while since I've fused pets but if i remember correctly doesn't it have to have both being 2* to fuse or both being 0* to fuse? There is no safe way to fuse a pet. So I suggest at the very least waiting for an altar (or suggest) for having a scorpian pet altar which have the M-ATK pray in the same location as Petra. Yes when fusing a pet you have 2 options. 100% chance for neither pray changing using one of those Pet Bibles or what every the pray version is called or 50/50 on both pray 1 and pray 2 to change/stay the same.

When @Vivi is around she might have some other solutions you could try because I've no idea whats wrong at this point. According to the logs it would appear everything is normal the title screen is loading perfectly fine. It's not having any Direct X issues and is loading all the required libraries as far as logs are concerned. I could maybe suggest you try playing with the compatibillity options on windows to see if anything changes. Also does the issue still occur when you skip the starting video (press ESC when the Aeria Games logo is playing). One thing you could try is add the entire folder to the exceptions like you did with _launcher.exe etc (should be able to do by directory) and also try running patcher.exe as admin and verify checking if any files download after adding as exception.

Hmm weird there doesn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary with your client. The only thing I could maybe suggest at this point is try deleting client.ini from the main install directory and then see if that works or double checking if you have the C++ redist packages installed for 2008, 2010 and 2012 for both 32bit and 64bit.

Could you locate the files error.log main.log CEGUI.log and then zip/rar them and send them to me. You can pass the link here or send the link in a ticket if thats more comfortable for you and pass me the ticket id so i can see if they provide any information that could maybe point out whats happening. One thing you could try before hand is changing all 3 exe's you listed to windows 7 compatabillity mode. I also remembered that some people have had issues when thier windows has been increased / decreased scale. You could maybe try putting that to 100% if your's isn't and see if that has a success.

Does windows 8.1 use Windows Defender? If it does even if you have disabled it make sure to add the application to exceptions.
