Normal Guardian Angel Slime, Easy Lucid and Easy Will do not count for Special mission progress.
I have cleared these bosses multiple times and even slime once after the patch just to make sure, it did not count but did on the "boss" tab.
Edit: Clearing Chaos Guardian Angel Slime gave me the Normal Guardian Angel Slime progress.
Edit2: Clearing Hard Black Mage gave me the Easy Lucid clear.
ok makes sense now that i think about legion and 100% crit but assigning HP is a pain . Assuming I dont use hyper body.
You shouldn't be assigning any points into HP. (Unless you're Demon Avenger) In bosses it will do nothing as bosses deal HP% damage and the small amount of survive you'll gain early game will not be worth it later on. Whatever character you're doing this on has effectively been ruined.
i believe your seeking Parwen in the Alcadano society...hidden portal located in the Neo Huroid//Huroid map...also big warning ahead......do NOT SKIP the text when you turn in....he will give you A PASSWORD for the doors linking the Alcadno and Zenumist society.....password you need to write down...its different for everyone so you can't look it up online.....gotta imput it on both side of ALcadno and Zenumist lock door...its cap sensitive btw
The password appears in your quest log, there's no need to write it down.
You should still check your quest log to see what your password is, but here's the quest you'll find it under.
Once you complete the quest it stops appearing here.
I believe one way of handling this is to make "Chance" on starforcing permanent.
Let's say you're at 19 and you drop down to 17, you get a free upgrade back to 18.
This change would make it so that if you drop down to 17 you don't have to drop to 16 before you get another free upgrade.
You would simply be locked at 17+ until it either boomed or hit 20*. There's still the potential for dropping, yes. But it's far less vicious.
This would also assure that not all insanely funded people are running around in full 25*. The risk is still there, just less annoying to deal with.
Arcane Symbols
I think Nexon could handle this one by giving all characters on your account the highest value of Arcane Force and Sacred Force on your account, but not the stats related to it.
If you have a character that maxed all their symbols all your characters can just fight all the way up to black mage with no damage lost.
There would still be incentive to do your dailies since you would gain stat from the levels on droplets, but you're not completely screwed if you decide you only want to do them once in awhile and just focus on weekly grind sessions.
Final Thoughts
"If I've done it once, don't make me do it again. If I must do it again, then make it easier"
Personal growth allows previously completed content to be even easier on separate characters and on future runs.
I think the game reflecting this growth across your entire account is an excellent idea.
In my personal opinion your main character is your account, not whichever class you main.
