Players may now select and receive S-grade weapon recipes from the wandering NPC, Rooney the Blacksmith of Wind, in the Forge of the Gods. (The existing NPC, Vulcan, now awards an S-grade weapon recipe irregularly.)

Raid monsters that can be absorbed to create level 11 and 12 Soul Crystals have been added: Beast Lord Behemoth, Roaring Skylancer, Meanas Anor, Eilhalder von Hellmann, Crokian Padisha Sobekk, and Antharas Priest Cloe. The added monsters provide a Soul Crystal to only one party member at a certain rate among the party members who struck them last.
A raid monster that can absorb souls with grade 13 Soul Crystals have been added: Scarlet van Halisha.

Coins of Magic

A list of monsters that drop coins has been added. The added monster list may be viewed from Bernard in the Hunters Village.

The quest has been changed to a party-type; therefore all party members who are conducting the quest may gain coins.

Fate's Whisper

New B-Grade weapons have been added to the list of weapons (Guardian Sword, Wizard’s Tear, Star Buster, Kaim Vanul’s Bones). A-Grade weapon rewards have been added (Spiritual Eye, Infernal Master, Destroyer Hammer).

The looting time for boss monsters’ drops has been increased from 15 seconds to 5 minutes, therefore characters or parties that didn’t contribute at all to the battle cannot acquire any items for 5 minutes.

During a siege/clan hall war, when you attack another player, and the
aggressive (purple) state is applied and the other side’s character dies, karma/PK counts are now increased.

The Fisherman’s Potion temporarily reduces a player’s fishing mastery level to catch a fish at a desired level. The potion may be purchased from a Fishermen Guild Member.

The Fishing Potion restores a player’s fishing mastery level, which was lowered by the Fisherman’s Potion, back to the previous level. The Fishing Potion may be purchased from a Fishermen Guild Member.

The reputation score increases in the following cases:
[*] [b]An academy member completes a 2nd class transfer[/b]
[*] Your clan takes over a castle in a siege
[*] Your clan successfully defends a held castle
[*] [b]Your clan acquires a siege-enabled clan hall[/b]
[*] [b]A clan member takes first place in the Festival of Darkness[/b]
[*] A clan member becomes a Hero
[*] A clan quest is completed
[*] By killing an enemy in a clan war (under the condition of mutual war declaration) or siege; however, when the other side’s reputation score is 0 or below, your clan cannot acquire any reputation points from them

When an Academy member completes his/her second class transfer, the member will receive a commemorative item. The Grand Master NPC of the member’s own class will award the item automatically upon the completion of the second class transfer.
The member is then automatically withdrawn from the Academy, and will not receive a penalty for re-joining a clan.

When Heroes participate in a raid against Antharas, Valakas, and Baium, the boss monster has a chance to shout out the Hero characters’ names.

High Level Testing: Special Boosts and Rates

The first character you create on the Public Test Server will be automatically boosted to level 75 when you log in to the test server. Please make sure that your first character is the character you want boosted! No other character you create will receive a boost. That character will also receive 76,000,000 SP to learn skills immediately and 100,000,000 Adena in the warehouse for items and equipment. Any character created after the first character will begin at level 1 with 0 SP and 0 Adena.

The experience rate during Chronicle 5 testing will be set at 4 times higher than the normal servers, and the item drop rate (including spoil) will be set at 6 times higher.

Special NPCs will be in the villages to sell items to help you develop your character quickly. NPCs will offer special items for sale, level your clan automatically, and allow you to choose your class transfers.
