    hmm another noteless patch, seems something big is coming. Hopefully the addition of North america along with the 120 level cap, which means spartan and sailor

    Also hoping they give us the Rainmaker which is supposedly a B-rank merc given out through an event and not just restricted to higher levels
    5931228318143ld7.jpg

    Her skill is basically the same as Exorcist's mana seal except it seals the magic of melee mercs. IMO a huge game changer if it's widely available, no more worrying about mass flame swords, freezing axe or lightning spears as much. And since she's a staff user whoever gets to use exo first basically gets a free round to stomp the opponent if both people have rainmakers

    Yeah I hope theyre brining rainmaker as a easy give away too because from what I have heard the Spartan will be impossible for pretty much most of the server population to get for a long time if ever. Makes sense if Rainmaker has the possibility of changing game play as the Spartan is supposed to put a big hurting on Seth's will builds. Of course I'm not even level 30 yet and have very little idea on what to spend skills on so its kind of moot for me.

    Was getting disheartened by posts in the official for endgame pvp potential of archer main builds. Then I remembered that playing solely for the endgame burnt me out on WoW and mmo's in general for over a year now.

    Not going to make the same mistake again. Going to take this as a success if I'm still playing by the end of next week.

    The #1 PVP Player on Thebes for awhile was a Archer Main so do not feel too bad, Axe main is the favorite but I have seen all the Mains do well in PVP at 90+ in FL.

    So where's all the Christmas stuff? Bucharest didn't seem interesting at all, maybe I just missed it.

    Is there anything else for Christmas besides the weekend giveaways? Quests or hats or something?

    New dungeon in Northern Europe: Santa's workshop. 3 floors split for lvls 1-60-90 and quest givers for the areas

    christmas1-1s.jpg

    This is from the Korean build, no official word on whether we get it or not. There were christmas-labeled files in the recent patch so I'd assume so. Nifty mobs like the bear I posted above and this Rudolf / Randy Savage character lurk within

    christmas1-4.jpg

    Finger's crossed Santa himself will be the dungeon boss

    I'd recommend Pusan. It's relatively conveniently located, and last I checked was also a 1% tax rate (useful if you'll be opening material boxes and selling stuff before moving to Beijing quests).

    Really though, it doesn't matter, it only affects where you do your starter quests.

    I take it Multi Arrow and Ice Ridge Axe are the skills for the new archer/viking classes? When it says you can upgrade one or the other, does that mean you need to do the quests they added in addition to having a mercenary to upgrade? What happens to that mercenary's skills/level when upgraded?

    I'm never going to not lose all of my money now...

    Yeah it works similar to the current upgrade system, the new skills are added on and they'll keep the skills they currently have

    From what little I could find the Archers skill is a Cross AoE and the Viking a Column Freeze, no idea if the Mains can get those Skills.

    Edit: Viking Skill is same as old Freezing Axe [Row] just better Damage and Debuffs, new upgrade puts his M Def into positive numbers as well

    The training center is more effective than I would have guessed from our first attempt: 4 of us ran it up to low/mid 50s yesterday and got 800+ guild points. It did take an hour or so, but that's pretty good.
