This guide is by Fyren from blackrabbit2999.blogspot.com, I remember someone said C9 has bad graphics, well, if you have the same idea, maybe you just haven't adjusted the graphics suitably. You can follow the guide and have a check:
I noticed that through the ingame graphics settings Light Volume is permanently disabled for Nvidia graphics cards (It says its AMD only). This makes a huge difference, if you have seen the gameplay trailers for C9, the lighting looks so much richer than what the game actually lets you play at.
I have already maxed all the settings available ingame, but there are a lot of setting you can change in the config file aswell (C:\Program Files (x86)\WEBZEN\C9\C9.cfg, just right-click and edit with notepad):
You can enable antialiasing here or manually through your graphics card control panel
The biggest one here is 'LightVolume = 0' change it to 'LightVolume = 1' (THIS WORKS ON NVIDIA CARDS TOO, DESPITE THAT IT IS DISABLED INGAME)
NOTE: It doesnt seem like AntiAliasing = 1 makes a difference in game. Look at the very end for how I tweaked this.

Beware Make a Copy!! [Edit at your own risk]
But I wanted to get my game looking better, so I first forced some options on through Nvidia Control panel (ATI catalyst control for AMD users):
TWEAKS:
- Set Anistropic filtering at 16x
![]()
- Improve Texture Filtering
- Force VSync on to 60FPS (My graphics card was hitting 3000+ FPS in menu screen, and this isnt good)
The end result is a much better looking game (varying AA):
![]()
![]()
You can see what light volume does here, although its much better in the forest at day:

UPDATE: New Antialising Settings : A bit excessive... ;-)
To get to Nvidia control panel, just right click on your desktop > Nvidia Control Panel > Manage 3D settings > Program Settings Tab > 'Add' > go to the C9 installtion folder and select C9.exe > change settings > apply
![]()
Result with 4x Zoom to get as close as possible:
![]()
[Updated 2/8/2012] For full cp settings:
To get to Nvidia control panel, just right click on your desktop > Nvidia Control Panel > Manage 3D settings > Program Settings Tab > 'Add' > go to the C9 installtion folder and select C9.exe > change settings > apply

Hope this helps you guys :)
