@pollozik....I had a similar thing happen with a level 0 weapon. You can take it to the next level (level 1) using the stone of blessing and appropriate other 2 items at the witch's place.
You must be able to see the level of the Trial Stone. Look carefully, if you are not efficient it won't allow you to get in, if your level too high comparing to the level of the Trial Stone, exactly 5 level, you can't get it too. For instance, I have an 50lv TrialStone, combine it with three Blessing Stones, I get a Portal level 50. As I am now 80, I can't use it, it will dissapear. But if I'm about 50 to 55 I can use it. And after killing the Trial Boss, you will get the level II Trial Portal with one more level requires , it has 4 level, each boss give yellow or set items, be patient!!!
@chetlaxong..just one question - how did you find out about the "no more than 5 levels" with the trial stones? I've never seen any info. on this anywhere. That's what drives me crazy with games like this, there are no instructions or directions on SO many things. I guess that means that I can discard the trial stones I now have that are more than 5 levels below me??
anyone who is quite far into the game i found a way to endlessly farm tomes.
dungeon level 36 has a pretty rough trap set up, but if you pass it and gets to 37 you can get the teleporter there, and save & quit, go to cave 1, teleport to 37, go up to 36, there is 8 chests there
these 8 chests seem to have a 1/2 chance of a blue item
and about 1/8 of a Tome!!
after 7 runs i have found 8 tomes, 2 of which have been tome of skill
so if you have placed ability points badly, here you can do about 60-80 runs an hour and probably net yourself 70 stat points and 5-10 ability points.
@pollozik Every shield has it's own base chance of blocking which is the (Lv. 0), you can upgrade to (lv. 1) as jimmie123 said. Also, Rare and Set shields have greater base chance of block.
@jimmie123 Maybe he got one with a five level difference and did enteted the trial I guess. It's safer to use it when you are close to the level requirements or it will be useless anyway. So yes, you should discard the low level ones. The boss is a little pain, but the prize's worth it.
@chalas Dude, every yooseki you recive with the green elf lady (Celest) when you get the quest.. Maybe you droped or sold it, I don't know if that's possible at all.
