Last SvS you asked me for SH, Dominator and Druid build...I didnt get my hands on Druid but hey heres SH and Dominator at least..and 2 other things:

SH(Dont get confused by the Defi symbol since its the first job you asked for)


Dominator


Then here you got the new look of the startup client(SS by Rockjoy)


And here...skills/buffs as reward for quests? We will have to wait to see what exactly it is (besides interesting ;p)(SS by Rockjoy)

Requiem Alive!

God damn Enter button work already D:



Korea got it today..so lets hope they give it to us very fast now!

(What that ?????? button on the left is remains a secret for now ;3 )

New weapons

Seems that there's gonna be 2 types of weapons at lv 60 and 65 to give you more options to choose
Then theres new pvp weapons from lvl 20-65 wich are all having new graphics and have good stats but arent compoundable or reinforcable!





As you can see the 2 different weps got different stats.
So you can have like dex xbow, or accuracy xbow.
Might seem sucky with 1 stat, but if you compound it to +30 it can get huge stat bonus.
Of course raid items are still better, cause they got alot of stats.

Tempests with knuckles?

You ever wanted one? Well ok here you go! (Russians seem to have access to the korean test servers)

More changes

Number of party members is being reduced.
For most instances you can only take 5 members instead of 8.
Together with the other changes like instance mobs will do 30-50% more damage and more defense etc its gonna be a bit harder :)

For Raids, max participants is 15 ppl.
Together with RH being changed to lv 77 raid boss, DC being lv 80, Raid bosses doing more damage, and more defense, it will be quite tough.

Apparently you could be 63 ppl in Ion mine, but its being changed to max 30 ppl.
as well as the other BGs

Max no. of participants for Treasure Dungeons is 15.


There's gonna be some other changes to BGs, dont know what exactly.
but think that, depending on your level, you get some bonus.
(- By level of participation in the battlefield of calibration levels
When you get to the battlefield () neungryeokchi increase in the level of your character. (Except skills)
Out in the field to return to the original level of neungryeokchi.

The struggle of the Chapter
10~49(44
50~65(60)
66~79(70)

Ion mine
10~49(44)
50~65(60)
66~79(70)

Guild battle
None

Server battle
:1~79(65)

Theme battle
:1~79(65))

More skills are being changed again.
MCA get lower reflection rate and chance
Revenge Telekinisis likewise (guess its for druid, cause i havnt seen it in BM/Ele tree)
Robbing willingness. dont know how this skill works now, but it says that the skill defense reduction will increase, so maybe it was changed to reduction, instead of def buff.
Absorbing Energy will leech more HP i think.
Think they will add Sleep to templar skill tree.

ALSO: How it seems RA will be applied to the korean main servers on July 29th so it seems they are close to done with it!

New map style

Like you've maybe heard already they are adding a search system to the map so you can find NPC's and Monsters way easier then before! And thats how the map will look like after the RA patch is up.

Lvl 66 compounding and Pvp weapons

Lvl 66 items will be compoundable and this guy made all items he had +1 to show you how much they can get better. Keep in mind +30 is the max and you always get the same amount of stat raise...so if the item gives +8 on a stat you take that x30 and get up to 240 stat boost :O




And here you can have a first look at the new lvl 65 pvp weapons (only duals found so far :/) And how you can see they are pretty nice for a lvl 65 weapon and also look awesome :P

Korean test-server patchnotes yet again

Again I modified them so you can understand them better. Even tho I cant translate everything good enough ;O

Friday, July 24 Test-server. Temporary patchnotes.

Clean Shots of the Mounts

You've seen all 4 mounts already yes. But since I got some nice and clean shots now in good quality I will just post all 4 again.

Running Rock:



Raptor:



Chinese Tiger:



Devil Monkey:


Btw those names are not official but since I didnt find out the official ones I just named them how they look like!

Have fun

All my shiny reinforces T_T!

Scared that you loose all your reinforces when you compound your reinforced items after the patch? Like the lvl 66 armor is being compoundable but you even have put RH /Doom/ Biskra Xeons on it and dont want to loose it? Then today is your happy day!



Now it seems that after the RA patch you can compound AFTER reinforcing without loosing the reinforces! Gz Gravity, a great idea...just a bit late ^_^"

Battlegrounds

Seems that they will change the brackets for Battlegrounds to:
10-49 (only good part about this...no more lv 29 twinks monopolizing this bracket:))
50-65
66-79
so I assume lvl cap will be 79.
I still dont understand why they cant make brackets in 10lv groups, like lv 10-19, 20-29 etc...
66-79 seems the most fair, especially since it will take a while before anyone cap at 79 :)

Also it seems they gonna change bind-on-pick-up items from raids, to bind-on-equip...which is awesome.

Warlord Skill Tree

Ok, here's Warlord skill Tree


Seems that Warlord keep the shout skill, but zerk has a skill with same icon.
The warlord shout decrease 4 targets defense by 5%, the berserker one i think increase own atk by 5%
Warlord


Zerk


Lateral Slash lv2= +88 damage
Bugle lv7= +108 attack
Bear-Like Stamina lv7= +770hp
Deflect lv7= +462 long range defense
Full Swing lv2= +128 damage
Feast of Blood lv4= +159 damage, +159 aggro
Shout lv1= -5% defense, 10m radius, 4targets, 20sec duration.
Terrified Scream =lv4 9sec fear, 65% chance, 8m radius.
Land Tremor (lv70 skill) lv1= +156 damage

They just keep coming

ok, so yet another new mount :)



Here is a list of Rogue skills.
the top line is: skill lv/char lv/mp cost/cast time/cooldown/range
they are posted in this order:
sword aura
fighting will
quick attack
poison of malice
dash
raid
joint strike
shadowrunner
poison arrow
stealth
doppleganger
home thrust
soccer kick
ambush
fortitude

Here is list of Assassin Skills:

They are posted in this order:
Ligtning Speed
excessive bleeding
scud
blind attack
dual mastery
breaking pieces
infection
explosive hacking
steal weapon
spinning edge


Edit: Also, if you look at some of the 2nd job DoT skills, it seems that DoTs are far more useful now. Like excessive bleeding dealing up to around 60 DoT damage per 2 seconds, and infection 60/2 over 30sec, wich is way better then any DoT in the game right now, if you look at it. So most probably if you have a skill with DoT damage you might get lucky and get it upgraded (yay for DoTs)

A little detail

I noticed that gloves have attack speed, and boots have move speed.
I'm not sure if this is true on all armors, or just some sets, or if belts still have attack speed bonus.
i've seen 2 sets with it. One looks like how graten appears on a xenoa, and its lv 65.
other one looks like sentimera and is also 65.
I dont know if these are new sets, but normally graten icon looks like how it appears on a turan, but this new set icons looks like xenoa-graten.
These sets also have pauldron parts, which sentimera and graten doesnt.

More Skill Trees

Knuckle mastery, and knuckle skills have been removed from hunter/avenger, so knuckles are...well, totally useless now :)
Unless they changed knuckles somehow, to make it useful.

Commander


Avenger


Templar


Tempest

Compounding!

Hey guys I found some really interesting info about the compounding, then did the math, rechecked it, and now lets see what we got here!


This guy tried how many compound stages you can get, supposedly you can max it out to +30 compounds. On his lvl 5(!!!) item he got +30 damage and +30 on the weapons main stat. This is a lot for a lvl 5 weapon if you think about it. Also he wrote on his post that it was pretty easy to make +30!



Ok lets go on:


So if you look at this weapon and do your maths correctly you will see that a +30 Lvl 65 Dual swords would have a bonus of +90 Minimum damage +120 Top damage and +90 crit damage.

So that means if he would max out the Duals to a +30 the weapon would have:

257 - 349 Dmg
156 Crit damage bonus

Wich is pretty ok for a lvl 65 BB standard weapon I suppose! (-Side info:Yes I know its another look on the Duals, they where supposed to be lvl 70 weapons. But now they are 65 like Brutal Blaze-) Also he has 7 free reinforcement slots!

BUT NOW go on just a BIT MORE with your thoughts! For example the lvl 66 armor gets gimped down to a pathetic 6 CON and 6 STR (-Around that for the Sin set-) but it IS compoundable and it gains +2 on the stats per compound...that would mean you could have 66 CON and 66 STR WITHOUT touching the reinforcement slots even once!

And at last but not least I just give you on your way that many raid weapons wich already have higher stats and damage WILL BE compoundable. It seems in total weapons are not the big winners out of this true, but armors with such high stats /more reinforcement slots seem to be a great deal!

I hope you like it!

Edit: Ive seen some ppl being worried about hardcore item mall users, but you dont have to be worried! Like I said the guy who made the +30 weapon said that it was pretty EASY to max the weapon, also if you fail a compound it means you dont necessarily loose the weapon but get it back with a stage decreased. So dont worry, drink some tea, and wait ^_^!

Changes of the old System

Ok now there will be tons of "boring" text about some of the upcoming changes. Colorful pictures are in the posts below ;P

FIRST OF ALL: I could have been wrong about the "All classes wear all armors" thing! I see pictures of some weapon types being unlocked for all classes. But I guess about the armor I was guided by missinformation. Doesnt mean it has to be wrong, Im just not sure anymore if that is right ^^;


Defense system: Right now it is like 10 Defense will reduce 1 damage per enemy hit. After the RA patch XX Defense will reduce damage by 1%. That change is made in addition to the weapons rebalance and class rebalance. All weapons loose a good bit of Damage that is why they changed the system. So for example you dont hit 0 damage on tanks all the time and can still do something but on the other side they dont loose their Pve raid and grind tanking power!

Weapon and Set changes: Almost all sets ingame loose some defense, quantity in stats and you wont be able anymore to upgrade weapons on the old way to Fortis, Amplio etc etc. The new system will give you a +0 weapon or armor and from there on you can upgrade it just with basic xeons! Every upgrade GUARANTEES a raise of defense/damage and stats! But the boost is not as strong as for example from Fortis to Amplio. But you have MANY more stages. Also if you fail you have a chance that you NOT loose your weapon or armor but get it back downgraded by 1 step.
Also almost all weapons and armors lvl 65+ will have 7 reinforcement slots now

Weapons: Weapons are going to loose a lot of damage with the RA patch in order to keep the balance. But also with the new upgrading system you can get a lot of damage back just by compounding the weapon.

Skills for you and Skills for me: You are going to see that you will miss certain skills on your class after the RA patch. This is made in order to keep the balance and make the 2nd jobs more unique, many first job skills are being 2nd job exclusive skills after the update. On some skills that might sound extremely critical like reflect skills and also some other "effects" are nerfed or a stun or fear might be not on your skill list anymore.
But on the other hand side other skills got raised a lot to find a new balance and give you new ways of building your character(s).
And since you will be able to have new item types equipped and skills from armors and weapons the possibilities are huge now

Possessionbeast: Unfortunately it was almost impossible to find the full infos about the changes there but how it seems they can last longer now at least, if their skills are being changed or their level is raised I didnt find out yet


That is just some description of the info I found but be aware that not everything might be 100% accurate even tho Im trying to only post correct infos!

Another one

Ok, so there's a 3rd new mount, looks like a raptor kinda.

Otherwise, not much news yet.




(Its a gif this time so wait a sec for loading the full pic ^^)

Some new stuff!

Ok, seems items come without stats normally, except basic stat. Like claws have crit, swords have evasion. Thats all.


You dont compound items anymore, so there's no Fortis/Amplio etc compounds anymore.
Instead you get +1, +2 item (goes up to max +30). Apparently its quite easy to get +30, but would be very costly at end game. Like 65k/upgrade, and 43 rare xeons. So you'd need 1200+ rare xeons and 2mil lant/item :)
it increase weapon damage, armor defense, and some (not all) stats but you dont ever loose stats.


That dog pet has +10% Lant/drop/Xp bonus (not sure about the Xp, but there's 3 bonuses anyways, so just guessing Xp)


Level 66 sets have more stats than before, but the stats are also lower than before.
Previously they had 4/4 set bonus, now its 6/6 instead, so the bonus is probably better to compensate for the low item stats.
Individual parts in set, have different stats/def.

You want videos? Fine!
