This is the biggest update ever made to the game, which is why it was also very complex and took around 2 months to complete, including a Closed Beta in which several players from the community participated. Starting today, the normal server enters a Public Beta mode. There may still be bugs to fix, but that's the idea - to get everything 100% functional and corrected.
The server's mega update is finally here. This post will be updated soon with all the detailed information.
For now, the important thing to note is that to access the server you must download the new client, as the old one no longer works. To do this, go to the Downloads section.
The server is now fully in English and soon we'll start an internationalization campaign with advertising focused on people from other geographical areas, which also includes a total redesign of the website to make it bilingual.
It's recommended to join the game Discord to stay informed about all announcements and news more quickly and instantly.
While this post is being expanded, here's a quick list of most of the added features:
- Now all characters can switch between levels 15, 30, 60, 70 and 80 with buttons located in the inventory (Warmodes). These buttons only work if the character is on the Black Market map.
- Warmodes remember equipped items and take them from the inventory. They also remember stats assigned at each level. For now, skills and bars need to be configured manually with each change. A way to save inventory space and use them practically is to store sets and items you're not using at your current level in your warehouse, then move them to your inventory just before switching warmode so they equip automatically.
- Maps are now level-limited, and there are new maps called "Lobbies" where you can access different game zones according to your level.
- 80c sets no longer exist. They have been converted to 80b set which is the maximum for Ep 7.3. All defenses, weapon attacks, skill damages and reforging have been configured to work as they originally did on the official server (Shaiya US 2013).
- Now stats like DEX and LUC have more importance and functionality. This is to make them useful in all the added PvP levels. It's advisable to reconsider link builds based on HP/REC with these changes, as stats in general are now more important than simple defense/attack.
- Item Mall prices have been adjusted according to the current game economy and boss drops are now 1500 AP boxes.
- Both set and jewelry synergies are now functional, and free sets are enough for PvP, including 80a which reforges the same as B and 75-79 jewels, simply with lower defenses and synergies.
- Added invasion systems for Enemy Map 2/CT from Raigo/Karis by simply throwing Medius and Entis/Heres. The invasion system in Greed Cannon was also added.
- Imperial sets from PvP 15 have also disappeared along with their weapons. They have now been converted into the classic Veneration weapons and sets.
- Added buttons in raid to easily switch between raids 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.
- The collapsible minimap that appears on the right side of the screen now has its original function fixed so leaders and subleaders can mark points on the map with right-click.
- When receiving a whisper, the game icon now blinks to notify you when the game is minimized.
- The server now only allows being online with 1 single account on the same PC.
- Added NPC Rune for Professional Blacksmith (reforging).
- Teleport, summon and movement runes can only be used if you're on the same map. This is to prevent characters of other levels from entering zones where they shouldn't be.
- You can now change costumes, pets and weapon skins in PvP zones with a 30 second cooldown.
- Some skills are limited to level 61+ only. This is to avoid affecting balance in PvP 15, 30 and 60.
- Some maps like 1, jungle, Karis/Raigo among others, have been adapted to previous EPs to give a classic gaming experience.
- Fixed Vulnerable Lapis. It now affects hunters/archers as it should.
- Instant mounts with speed level 1 have all been added to a chaotic box available in IM.
- Added new boss drops: Power of King's Wrath and a Chaotic Square to Forge it with King's Wrath Fragments. This item is required to obtain all the new sets, which can be forged by buying chaotic boxes from the "T.O.T. Merchant" in Black Market.
- King's Wrath Fragments are a drop from Map 2, VR/PR and Teodoru/Pantanasa.
- Added new Mechanical Lapis for jewelry. They can be forged with a Chaotic Square from Item Mall which requires the new boss drops.
- Added new temporary maps to PvP 80. These will change periodically, be renewed and also improved.
- Added a quest based on Greed Cannon that rewards a coupon for killing Opalus. This boss now drops 9 Powers of King's Wrath, the item needed to forge all the new things.
As I said at the beginning, this same post will be updated in great detail, with images and complete explanations about everything new. Also, some things are yet to be named. I wrote this quickly before going live after the long maintenance.
