No gold for God Sun Ce, but you are willing to wait?

You just knew it right?
RenRen couldn't create a hero that just for sale...

Well, in the new patch, guess what the last NPC for Zhou Tai-Super is.

With this, sooner or later, there will be one place to farm Sun Ce - God :D

[Super VIP only] Clearing God Pang Tong

Official non fake players have started to clear God pang tong with the following setup after the post patch.
Difficulty have been reduced, now defense is no longer a problem. The problem is getting enough damage to the NPC post alliance map. According to rumors, I think top TCA+STA also cleared the map.
But I did not see the battle report yet

God Guo Jia: (God Book : 44k STA)
Zuo Ci (Red Book: ~38k STA)
Emperor (Red Book: ~30k+ STA)
Diao Chan (Red Book: ~30k+ STA)

God Zhou Tai Battle Report

I lazy to interpret. So I directly do a direct translation.
Original article here:
http://wan.renren.com/bbs/thread-881847-1-1.html

Comparing God Zhou Tai and Zhang Fei using the following setup：
2* Level 8 COM flags.  Array(60) SS(27) (Gold cape)(9) （Defense 8786 avg） 
Total COM (36733)

God Zhou Tai (Perfect 52, LD 212, Line Form)

http://x84.lstx.renren.com/?reports/2014/1/25/1390596442003_n1_1477025337?**=0&version=0.0.0.1

God Zhang Fei (Perfefct 44 LD 325, Line Form)

Zhou Tai and Zhang Fei LD difference could have matter. 40k SPO used is not enough to reach level 180）Wait until max level before increasing his LD. Maybe result will be even more accurate 


PK against double defense Zhang Liao：2*level 7 TCA flag Array81 Gold horse(27) Gold Armor(13) （Defense avg 7188） Total TCA (73553) -> Even higher than me :D

Zhou Tai VS Zhang Liao

Zhang Fei VS Zhang Liao

Summary from author:
From Battle reports. At PK point of view, Zhang Fei should be much much better than God Zhou Tai. 

Since every round is level 5 attack, map pushing, Zhou Tai could be better

From this experience, Yuan shao should be similar kind of damage with possible 5 more single attacks... (However getting it is a question itself)

Results from Newbienoob Poll

Here is the results:

First Non STA to clear Alliance map (Pre-patched update)

Pre-Patch is because there is going to be reduced in difficulty soon.
However, whether it affects Alliance map is another matter.

Its not COM who cleared but TCA with ZL.super + GSC (ie. Wei form) who managed to clear

Zhang Liao and Other Hero Stats:

Usage of God Zhang Fei (Campaign Mode)

This is actually a complaint I found in China website about God Zhang Fei.
But I feel its worth to share.
Original article is found here:
http://wan.renren.com/bbs/thread-881339-1-1.html

How the GZF works

GZF has a unique buff that is unknown to many. It comprises of 

1) Round 1: Reduced Damage Taken (DEF) by 40%

            Reduced Damage Inflicted (ATK) by 40%

2) Round 2: Buff Removed based on current stats

If you look at the description, you will definitely benefit by placing ZGL or GCR before GZF to ensure that the Base damage of GZF improves

Example, using GCR adds 30% Attack and Def buff.

1) At round 1:
Reduced damage, attack + GCR buff

                60%*1.3 ~ 78% Defense

                60%*1.3 ~ 78% Attack

2) At round 2:

Since, it was treated as 60% previously. So the formula is divide by 6 multiply by 10. 

Hence           78/6*10 ~ 130% Defense

                78/6*10 ~ 130% Attack

I do not know how the forum he managed to get 50% damage. but i got 30% here. Please note that the 130% damage had hence become the default damage(ie 100%) and hence subsequent rounds with GCR buff becomes:

               130*1.3 ~ 169% Defense

               130*1.3 ~ 169% Attack

GZF nice eh?

But this is probably only applicable in campaign mode


[Last Edit: 6/2/2014]
There are some limitations of this bug which was recently found out. 
1) Research skill Armored will disable defense bug
2) Research skill Pierce will disable attack bug
3) Snake spear (Study 9) will disable attack bug
4) Cloak (Study 27) will disable attack bug

Based on the above, I reckoned only the defense bug will work. Likewise mentioned, its only useful in campaign mode

--------------------------------------------------
Rationale for this ?

- GZF had been a pain with its damage at 100% first round. Hence he cripples a lot of players in country battle. 
- To even the odds, Renren came out with the solution to nerf GZF in round 1 making him attack lesser in round 1. 
- This however made GZF very useless as 2nd round, his damage decreases significantly. Hence to even odds, GZF defense also improved for the first round
- Viola, we have a buggy GZF :D

1 Troop Victory

http://x1.lstx.renren.com/?reports/2014/1/21/1390306118115_n1_1862708339?**=0&version=0.0.0.1

Fake players in China

Its been proven by a "current" moderator that there is existence of fake players.
This thread just started this morning and there is so much posting :D
How is it possible to own 5 level 27 gold book right??

Anyway here is the official link:
This China link could be taken down anytime.
http://wan.renren.com/bbs/thread-880718-1-1.html

The forum moderator has the capability to check the ip address of the poster to prevent that guy from posting on forum if he wants to. Hence he is able to identify all the fake players

By the way newbienoob is real :D

"JingZhou Defense"

I mentioned about this sometime ago in 200 patch update. I shall put this into tutorial next time

This is different from Transserver and Cross server ranking altogether.

①Entrance：

Self Explanatory

②Rules：

1. Troop is refreshed each time after certain time period. Each victory have chance to get key and token

2. Attack does not need order. Every attack have a cooldown period, this CD could not be reduced

3. Key could be used to open treasures found in map. Token could be used to open the pagoda found in the centre of the map. Players unlocked the treasure and pagoda would get nice rewards

4. Treasure Chest explained: (Quite stupid explanation but nvm)

- Spring chest box need spring key

- Autumn chest box need autumn key

- Summer chest box need summer key

- Winter chest box need winter key

5. Event open opens every Summer. After event ends, all the keys and tokens will be gone. Players please take note

6. Pagoda have 10 levels. Need to start from level 1. The higher the level , the better the rewards. After the event ends, its back to level 1.

③Map：

a. 4 colours representing the different seasons (Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter). Corresponding gives 4 different types of keys. Beating them have a chance to get either 0 or 1 key, as well as a chance to get 1 to 2 tokens。
b. In the event, every 5 minutes, troops will refresh back to 10. Should be similar to troop refresh. Should be mass equivalent. According to here. 3 person is enough to start the mass.  
c.CD activated after completion. CD cannot cut

d. Who gets the most token would be shown in table below

④Token：

Click on the Pagoda in the map above to enter the pagoda. 

Climb up the pagoda based on the number of tokens

You need 52 token to climb to level 9. 

Everytime u open a new level, ie. climb up, you get either honors, speedup orders, relics, jade at low quantity

⑤Key：

Key is got from event. The purpose is to open chest. There are 4 different types of keys as mentioned.

Red: Represents Shu. Drops either Speedup*10, relics, level 1 synth stone

Blue: Represents Wei. Drop either jade*6, relics, level 1 synth stone

Purple: Represents JingZhou . Drop either silver*20k , relics, level 1 synth stone

Green: represents Wu. Drops either 5888 honors, relics, level 1 syth stone

Reasonable very good event. Very good for non vip

Another double red book clearance of Alliance map

I know this point of the map is irrelevant to most people.
But I believe 90% of the people will end up in this map and stuck here for ages

So far, the only way to clear this map is to use Super Guo Jia + buff.

Here are some of the final few battle report
http://x53.lstx.renren.com/?reports/power/42040/1384968436793_n1_749347329?**=0&version=0.0.0.1

The stats is as follows:
Total Super Guo Jia STA:38400，
Zuo Ci STA: 37000

Super Guo Jia IN: MAX (I think he meant 135+180)
Zuo Ci IN: 246

But the heal from SDC and Emperor shows that this guy must be one top few player with lots of +27 equipments huh..

"Upgrade of Bronze Sparrow Terrace"

The Chinese have upgraded the Bronze Sparrow Terrace. Now, whenever you "chat" successfully, you get to see a more revealing girl.. WHEN IS OUR UPGRADE!!!

Btw, the Chinese are giving out free gold token pieces. Not full but pieces for some event. I think its 5 pieces. Kinda strange why 5

lol. I do not want to comment saying that I mentioned China give out full token set as someone mentioned in Huayu forum.

Alliance map -> TCA and COM stuck point

It seems that even with God Sun Ce, the stuck point remained the same.

So far, only people with mimimum 3*level27 red book users managed to clear this point with Super Guo Jia. Anyone else combination all failed

This is the latest information from Wei with God Zhang Liao + God Sun Ce

http://x66.lstx.renren.com/?reports/2014/1/3/1388720626931_n0_-108246536?**=0&version=0.0.0.1

Perhaps Sun Jian + Super Guo Jia will worked too.

Difference in Attack Levels

It seems that attribute washing and Troop level does plays a tremendous impact on heros and their attack

Below is the battle report of 
God Sun Ce (Level 4 TCA, BV 243, Next Respawn 166
http://x84.lstx.renren.com/?reports/2014/1/3/1388732069981_n1_1639294732?**=0&version=0.0.0.1


Sun Jian ( Level 3 TCA, BV291，Next Respawn 180)

http://x84.lstx.renren.com/?reports/2014/1/3/1388731582562_n1_1639294732?**=0&version=0.0.0.1

Conclusion is, with the correct attribute and training, a low level hero can be as good as other heroes. Like our s57 chc huh.. I think he is proving that point :D

God Sun Ce Pricing and Battle Reports

Many have wondered how much it is

http://wan.renren.com/bbs/thread-878069-1-1.html

Estimated Gold price ranges from 130k to 170k gold so far.
It is estimated at 14kRMB which converts to 2.5k to 3k sgd

However if the rate is at 130k to 170k gold at which our ratio is 8k gold to 330usd
It means an estimated of 5.3k usd  to 7k usd
6.9k sgd to 9.1k sgd. So be prepared to get 9k SGD or 7k USD before that event.

But here is some Battle Reports:
