There is a location up in the top left corner of Dragon Valley with some named Nastral Mystic I think these count towards that quest too, been a while would need to verify though.

LMAO, I have said many times if I weren't a lazy ass and had the money, and personnel to do such that I would re-write SB.... lol or at least a inspired by.

All GS and GM Vivi and I for sure wish we had more ability to make larger scale changes to the game, if we had this the game would not have so many limits as it does now. We could then easily add in and change the premise thus making PvE and PvP changes that would greatly improve both sides to the game. Sadly it is super proprietary in design and it makes changes so much more difficult.

Many things in SB are server side so I am not sure if you could even alter that for your client alone. Plus sorry to say we will be unable to help you with that, as we do not condone making changes to the client side. The risk of corruption is too high, and we would not be responsible for anything on that side, thus we would not help in the process. Sorry to again burst your bubble. Remember SB is not a super high PvE game. it was never really intended as such to be super PvE-based. Game premise was a small story to show the separation of 2 rising factions during and after the war with the Narak. A falling from mother caused each faction to fight one another. IE setup for a PvP game between the factions lol

It is possible to alter the text and storyline, but it is a super lot of work and would not be of a lot of benefit to the over all good or health of the game, thus would be more work than it is worth. We would most likely never take on that venture of altering every quest storyline interaction for this reason.

I run it currently on Windows 11 it is not an issue of the OS. Try finding this file and delete it, (client.version). Re-run your SbLauncher.exe and this will force a full file scan. Just to see if any files are missing or corrupted. Mark SB.Exe for Compatibility Mode Windows 8 or 7 I prefer 8 due to the kernel. Depending on your AV you might wish to mark the entire SB folder as a whitelist exception.

Sadly, this is something we cannot fix or control. The game is not programmed that well, all we can do is add or take away percentages of the items and or class of items ie General, Magic, Rare, or Unique. We cannot somehow make it drop your class based on who enters.

Exactly we are getting too much of an entitlement and instant gratification world. People are getting too wanty, too needy, and too lazy to be completely honest. They do not want to earn anything anymore just to be handed it on a silver platter. This does not help society to have any respect for things or what they have or get, which also leads to them not respecting one another, it is a super vicious cycle. Thank you for addressing that you agree with some things and at least validating my points. Some people would just ignore that means a lot to me. As for newer players I agree some things should be easier but I would not focus my time on TT. It would be in other maps cause like Nemesis and not having anyone there to help them thru certain quests or dungeons etc. TT would be the very last thing I modified given the time to do so and the effort involved. Changes to SB are much much more difficult than most people will ever know. It isn't a quick down and dirty click this and click that. Also still disagree if you make too many of the changes you suggest the dungeon would be a breeze and ppl would skip 90% of it as it is there are ppl who run it in like 15 mins up to 25-30. You would have people doing 5-8 min runs all the time. Nerfing it too much would superbreak the dungeon and its purpose. I do say and have said it needs a "little nerf" or a boost in drop rates at the very least. This is something I have said before, just that I mean a lot smaller of a nerf than you intend.

Visual C++ can be installed for all versions new and old you can have multiple on there You need to 2010 specifically. Yes, it will run in 11 but you do need to run Windows 8 or 7 Compatible. As Vivi said SB.exe is the one you need to mark.

Actually, all levels will drop mech shards just that the lowest will drop 1. However yes it was intended to be an increasingly difficult dungeon for each tier as most all so far there is more or less no challenge to dungeons, it was more a farm for things with no consequence. Removing all stuns and such and doing a lot of what you are suggesting would diminish the value of said items. As it is people will farm Mech Shards and sell for 1k-2k. Making it too easy would make it so those items are worthless like the Slivers Shards and Gems are as of now. Currently, I could give everyone here who has posted 5-6 stacks of every sliver shard and gem and still have plenty for my own uses... I literally have that many stored up in reserve. Mech shards and Unique Jewels and Blueprints and such would be the next on the list to be worthless items for sale/trade. We do appreciate your feedback, but I believe you are asking way too much to make this dungeon a walk-in-the-park type thing. Granted I could see a small, tiny nerf potentially possible and not diminish the experience and value of said items, but to the level it seems you are suggesting that is just far too much of a nerf.

It would be a false positive, if you DL'd from sb.vendettagn.com there is no issue with the program. Just mark the SB.exe and SBLauncher in your whitelist for your AV.

Also, I just looked closer at your error messages, and had a question. I see you are running SB on E: drive. Is this perchance an external USB drive/USB stick? If so, they are notorious for being sketchy running games, especially certain ones.

SB is known to be a crash monster. Not a lot you can do about that, however some suggestions to protentially lower or stop some of them. If for instance you have corrupt files, or missing files you will crash a lot more frequently or even all the time in certain areas. So what I suggest in this case is locate a file in your SB folder named client.version. Delete this file and re-run the launcher, this will force the game to full file integrity check and replace any file it comes across as not correct. Other, thing to do is clear your DNS, reset your TCP/IP Stacks, and Winsocks. Directions will follow. Lastly, you can try to run a VPN service, sometimes this helps with some DC's and some crashs.. SB is odd how it handles lag and higher ping values. Instructions: In an Admin Level Command Prompt/Powershell/Terminal window type the following and hit enter after each... netsh int ip reset all [enter key] netsh winsock reset [enter key] ipconfig /flushdns [enter key] Restart Computer for changes to be affected.

You could also try but not sure it will help is to clear/flush your DNS, tcp/ip stacks, and winsock. Or even try changing your DNS provider. However I would suspect that one of the last 3-5 hops in your route is getting a ton of lost data packets and having to be re-routed thus slowing that part down so much that the game drops you due to lack of connectivity. Your internet speed is not the issue here it is past your ISP that is likely the issue.

If you are getting the "Mother has disconnected you" Message everytime this is a true disconnect and it is nearly 100% of the time a network issue. Meaning there is a problem somewhere along the traceroute of your traffic. Try using a VPN this will normally help, since you will have a completely different path that your data is routed.
