I actually took a break (longer than what i was expecting at first ) of almost 1 year and now i'm trying to catch up what i missed.

My char is lv 99 so i can actually go in Alexandria.
So first, i see that alchemy changed a lot. I see that now you need same lvl elements and tablets to make stones, which I find nice. But question: Does the elements we get from stuff 11D mobs drops are only 11 degree? Or we still get lower elements as well? At 11D mobs you get 11D elements. At 4D mobs you get 4D elements ect
And when you destroy items, you only get same lvl as the item elements? Yep, same as the degree

Now about the instances and the 2 restricted lvl areas (100+ and 105+ ones).
I read we get coins from mobs there. Is it in both areas? What are coins used for? the level 100 one, is the Tomb Of Parao, you can enter here with your party, you will be alone in a special cave, you can kill uniques and they drop coins.
the 105+ one is the Jobtemple, you can join as a hunter/trader or as a thief. they fight each other by AP, you get AP by killing mobs and rewarding quests. (easy SP farm).
You can also kill uniques in the jobtemple, but watch out! the other side will also go for the same unique.
I see the first one (100+) is indeed an instance, but is the other one 105+ one as well, or its shared by all players like a normal area? It seems so, because i read you can actually kill other players there? Must be cool, it means no bot there right? read above, and yes, there are bots in the 105+ one. Not in the 100+ one though.

Thats about it for now. I'm also curious about the socket system, is it any good? You can buy them with gold or is it special currency? I see those give you skills that are usuable like normal buffs? Really useful or useless feature?
BS
Thanks for your time! Might have others questions later

Thans a lot!

Why 'BS' for the socket system?

Is it available in iSro ? Might have read that and its only it kSRO, not sure. But i saw the UI is there in alchemy window in iSro. Not that im aware of
Or you mean 'BS' as crap? Why that?


Also, for the Silver/Gold Coins, I see you get to buy Seal of Nova special set with them? These are better than the normal Seal of Nova items we get from drops? Also, what is the related NPC to get those items? With the gold/silver coins you can get Immortaly sets, the best set iSRO currently has. if you make these items +7 or higher, you'll be a darn tank
And you get those coins only from 105+ temple, or both 100 and 105 ones? You get them from the 100+ ones (and maybe from the 105+ uniques but im not sure)
Also i'm curious when you say 'easy SP farm' in the second temple, why? If you make a decent party, you can kill the monsters very fast (no pty mobs in cave), you have to kill mobs and get some kind of material, in about 10 min you can get that done. so every 10 min you will be able to deliver 3 x 700 SP. which is alot.
And last, AP means what? job xp ?
Nah thats just a count whos doing better, the hunter/traders or thiefs.

And hm weird to have bots in the 105+ one, dont they get killed by other job players while botting? Yes they do
