Ok so far I could test it.. it's damn hard to kill level 86-90 mobs with a lvl 31 weapon. Since noone has crafting skills 7 or 8 there is absolutly now way to do quests in higher levels for testing purpose.

I visited Soul City and Snow Town and considering that level 87 to 88 takes you 54'000'000 EXP, those mobs give you with double exp 500-800 ep. That's way too low. You'll take a year for one level with that amount of exp.

The gold drops sink drastically.. considering level 41 soldiers in Jixia drop 800-1100 gold, the ones in Shouling and Snpw Town drop max 500 gold.

Another point.

You can buy Vigorious Tonic (Large) everywhere even in Snow Town.. but not the effective ones.
That means if you're in Snow Town(far far away) you have to travel all way back to Sun City to buy the big potions.
Add the big ones to the high level zones such as Snow Town, Horse Hill etc.

Well, as far as crafting skills are concerned, Engy already stated and it has been restated a few times that drop rates for equipment materials will increase when the game goes public.  That will help people to keep up with equipment at their level, it will make people capable of more easily increasing their living skill, and it will create an additional cash flow for all the people having difficulty buying horses and potions.
If the level 80+ mobs are really only dropping 500 gold, yes that is a problem considering that level 13 humanoid mobs are capable of dropping over 100 gold . . . doesn't seem to be quite enough of a natural progression.
I am also in agreement with you that the farther you travel from the main central areas, the better the items should be at the NPC's, not the other way around, and the strongest potions should be available in places outside of Luoyang.

Well the problem is not the crafting skill itself

I'm level 87 now (guess to test all quests til sept 10th). I can do quests til lvl 48 easily with my equipment.
But I had to go to Shengle killin some soldiers to get a decent chest, hat and shoes, for me to have a bit more defense for the higher quests. Since the stuff you can buy from the blacksmith/tailor and so.. need reputation level 3... there is absolutly now way I can reach reputation level 3 til sept. 10th. Level 2 needs 1080 repuation level 3 needs 1760 or around that. Even if I do all the quests I still miss soul spars (with level 87 the highest mobs in elemental elder fairy realm are 71, so they drop Spars level 7 and I'm 87, no way to exchange them for rep anymore).

I just tested Shengle to A) see if they drop, how much exp they give and B) to get me some decent good equip.. but after all soldiers i've hit I still only have my lvl 40 weapon.. they didn't drop any bead for priests

So.. I'll give my best to test thru all quests I'm able to do alone and I'll report if I can find any kind of bugged Quests or missing text or chinese text in the Quests..

oh, do note that the moderators and staff are currently going to be checking all of the upper level quests.  higher level characters and quest lists were/are being given to some of the mods to test all of the quests for errors.

Chalky

I am confused as to why Deevah received a high level account.  Did you speak to Eng about this or did it just happen?

It is possible that it is a mistake.

Deevah

I am not the only non-mod that recieved a higher level account and even if, don't doubt Engy's decisions.... some of us played this game for over a year already.. maybe that's why some got a higher level acc.

relax Deevah, no need to by so cynical.  let's keep this forum a happy place, ok?

Chalky

Calm down, I just wanted to make sure it wasn't a mistake.

I was under the impression that high level accounts received gold etc to buy gear to suit their level.

I didn't get any gold from engy nor reputation to even wear the stuff I could buy if i'd had money
And no I guess it wasn't a mistake, engy made me 87.. I didn't cheat if it was what you thought

Chalky

No no, but I know that Engy had trouble assigning high levels to offline characters, so he might have made a mistake and upgraded the wrong account.

But he didn't, so no problems.

Although if I were you I'd consider asking him for a few million gold to buy yourself decent gear.  It's totally pointless if you're high level but you gear is too poor to actually kill anything of your level! (which is why I thought it might have been a mistake)

Looking at other high level accounts, it appears that they did get gold and cash shop cash to spend on gear:

Other people received money from Engy but I didn't receive money from him at all, for me to wear that gear Xanndros gave me some of the money that Engy gave him and last night Loki gave me some money as well to finish maxing out all of my spells. ^^ I only got lvl boost and reputation.

Ok guys I did all quests I knew and found up to level 56 quests. I have to admit that the translation on the higher level quests was extraordrinary.. No wrong signs no spells faults.. just smooth perfectness. All quest items drop pretty fast (seems a bit faster as on low level quests tho). No Questmobs are missing.

I just have one question about Shouling / Shengle.. I wasn't that far on WoQ2 so I don't really know about Quests there.. but at level 87 none of the npc gave me a quest or told me to come back at a certain level.. There are many many mobs there giving little ep, dropping little amount gold.. I just start to wonder.. what for did they make those regions.. You can't level there, you can't do quests, just farm furs and stuff for equipment.. But then; on the other hand I wonder how someone's supposed to ever reach level 90 or even 99 considering the massive amount of Exp needed for 1 level close to the endgame content.

Where the high level team quests tested? Refining Zone area? I was leveled up to 87 before me and my buddies could test the lvl 37 team quest.. so I have no idea if they work or don't.

Another point is the marriage.. engaging and marrying includes a longer questrow.. which I think needs some testing too, cause I know it was buggy on the chinese version before they patched it. The problem is just that I can't find that NPC that gives you the marriage quest.. he used to be in Luoyang but apperantly he's not there anymore... if anyone can get some info on that, that'll be nice

Deevah, can you list out the quests you've tested? That would be greatly appreciated. You know what you will get.
