they've covered everything

K I really dont understand this even after reading it all a few times.

It sounds good but I want to know what it exactly means.
Example
I buy 300 credits today then make them bound credits, I then get a 2.5 bonus for doing that right?

Now lets say I buy 1000 after buying my 300 and convert them all to bound credits, do I still get the bonus on 700 of them then after that all credits I buy lose the bonus?

Or does it have to be like the first time I bind the credits, like I would only get the bonus for the 300 credits I binded the first time and not any for my second purcahse?

Edit, O I supose Saran indirectly answered it for me I think

You get a bonus on the first 1000 bound. Don't have to all be at once.

You can bind a grand total of 1000 credits over a period of time. There's no need to Bind all 1000 in one shot. CREDITS REPORT keeps track of how many bound credit lessons you have left from which you can benefit.

So basically they are giving me enough to trans a skill and a half, assuming I keep the credit bondage going OOOhhhh thats nice

Credit...bondage...slightly amusing visual there.

You can use the ex-neo credits to buy artifacts?! I have 30 or so to get. ::cries:: I'm so happy .

only sucky thing is not being able to buy credits on an alt char and them getting the bonus lessons, then transferring the credits over to your main (if you bought for them)

I entered the poster contest, so yes the suspence is killing me specially with this new change!

This is pretty neat. But someone mentioned it worked retroactively, I'm not quite sure what they meant.

That's kind of interesting. And is it telling me I have some super bonus available now, or it's telling me how to get my bonus in the future?

That appears to be how many bonus lessons you can still get by binding credits.

that on the next 1000 credits you bind to your character you will get 2.5 lessons per

Oh.

Everyone wins from this. There is no loss. There will be new skillsets in the future so at that time, you can use the bound lessons. While it may impact the speed some people get them, they will still be available.

<3 this change

Seriously.. have you transed every skill or what?

Not only that, but at some point you might want to switch the guild or tertiary skillset too.

There is exactly one (1) disadvantage compared to the old system: you can no longer buy credits on a new character to get the lesson bonus, and then immediately sell them for lots of gold for that character.

Other than that, everything else is totally awesome.

then stop abusing the newbie bonus and play your damn main character

Is this going to affect guilds and how they instruct the new members to learn things? Since now you have credits that you could be getting artifacts with and not just being forced to learn your guild skills?

...yes.

Well, except for Aethercraft. I have the highest might in the game, unless Geb mastered aethercraft, then we're tied.
