This has been bugging me for a while now and it's time to bring it up on the blog, so we can talk about it. We have quite a few new players in the league. School is out for the summer, so it's normal to get new players in the game. I'm glad our bandmasters are doing such a good job of recruiting. The downside to having new players in the league is that they all want to get the killer epithets, from the dungeons and other bosses.

We are quite happy to help the new players, but we're going to do it our way. We've been doing this for a long time and the time for experiments is over. If one of the higher players tells you, "not yet, go level up", or "you need more dexterity", or "you have a quest there soon, let's do it then", just believe it and be patient.

The first thing that any new player needs to remember is that a killer run takes teamwork. Many of the players in this league can solo those dungeons, but that doesn't help you to get that epithet. You'll need 4 to 5 people for a killer run and that means you are asking 4 to 5 people to take time out from their grind to help you. You had better be well prepared for this.

First of all, the people helping you want this run to be as easy and as fast as possible. That means we really want you to be a certain level. For the Choice of Fate Killer of Shaun Mian you should be in the high RL levels. For the VoH killer epi you should be at least high FD levels, but to be honest, you'll get a quest in that dungeon in the SM levels and you'll need help for that too.

I can hear the whining starting already;

"but I neeeeed it..."

No you don't. At the level that you could do a killer epi run, your clan epithet is actually better. Don't believe me? Here is the information for a Brotherhood of Thieves character;

Brotherhood White Hood
Maximum Life increased by 100
Maximum Vital Energy increased by 50
Critical dodge rate increased by 500/10000
Reflect 3% of physical damage to target
Reflect 3% of Chi Kung damage to target

And here is what you get for killing Shuan Mian;

Killer of Shuan Mian
Defense increased by 50
Chi Kung defense increased by 50
Attack rating increased by 2%
Chi Kung attack rating increased by 2%
Critical rate increased by 300/10000

I'll take the extra life, vital energy and that reflection art every day, thank you very much.

"but it looks cooool and I waaaant it..."

Yeah it does look cool, and that's why we'll help you get it, particularly if you're a new player and playing on your first character ever. You're going to have to do your part and grind, be patient and prepared when the time comes. The first thing you could do is to read our guide on how to do the CoF Killer Run.
