    This idea sort of has merit. I do agree though that it would somewhat break the challenge of the game completely. What's left of it with uber fast leveling now.

    I always cheat on the hard ones and do that in a roundabout way anyway. Just level sync to a mule on my other account.
    Sheep trials are way easier in Ronfaure for instance.

    Rather than break the challenge, maybe having this ability could create challenge. If you think outside of Magian trials, this feature could be used to set your level down in order to increase difficulty of old content.

    why would they take the time to program a feature that maybe 1% of the playerbase will use and 1% may even be a stretch. Their time would be better spend making actual difficult content for lvl 99 that cant be easily exploited by something like embrava

    As for magians trials, they arent a challange to begin with, just a tedious time sync and being able to sync down in places like east ron make them at least somewhat fast. The only drawback is that it would flood starter zones with magians ppl making lvling for anyone low lvl near impossible. Lest we forgot the days trying to lvl in colibri camps when ppl would swarm them for weapons trials

    as for it being used by 1% of the players, well that isn't much of an argument considering a lot of things implemented in this game are used by less than 1% of the players but they were programmed anyway

    I see value to it, if you want to force things harder on yourself with your job to keep yourself up there in speed and skill...well on mage jobs anyway, not sure about melee but it could be useful to many players

    Not things that would take the sheer amount of programming this would.

    There are so many things needed to fix this game I stand by this being a complete waste of the devs time. No matter what arguement you wanna use, a vast majority of ppl will always take the easy route and this would be pointless and a quickly forgotten feature.

    Magians trials also are doable, sure it may take you an hr or two longer but after completeing 7 staffs, 2 swords, 3 daggers and 2 axes on the elemental path I can tell you there isnt a trial out there thats impossible, really hard or would drastically benifit from this feature. They can be slow yes esp if you just wanna aby it instead of checking for other viable fast-kill camps or trying to partner up. But for alot of these weapons they are far superior to what you would otherwise be using so an extra hour to two really isnt game breaking. And if you are wasting time on a less-than weapons (im looking at you OA2-4 daggers) then thats just your own fault really.
