Hello AdeptGamers,
The patch isn't out yet and there yet has to be maintenance. I don't know whether it will happen today or tomorrow (or in the next few days), but I wanted to write the patch notes already and post them in advance which I usually don't do (but may make it normal).
This is probably one of the final patches if not the final patch before we are preparing for relaunch. This patch contains a new feature and some additions to account quests. Aside that, we have many general changes that slowly round up the new continent and aim to polish a few aspects.
General changes:
A new drop system has been implemented. Upon killing monsters with entries to the system, loot and gold is directly dropped into the player's inventory. Additionally, requirements like Level min/max can be added. This system also allows for separate and clean calculation of rare drops (whenever implemented). The existing system does it in a different way where rates aren't as accurate. The new system on the other hand calculates a new rate for each rare item so that every rare item has a chance of being obtained while having a 100% accurate rate (say if Paris can drop Wings with 1% certainty, the certainty is guaranteed to be 1% and not something weird close to it). Drops can be rewarded to the killer only, to the entire party/fellowship or both. A few examples have already been implemented. You may leave your suggestions for additional implementations (apart from bosses). Here are current uses:
Account quests changes:
Account quests now also have weekly and daily versions! To test this concept (whether it just works) a few quests have been selected. The weekly reset is at midnight from sunday to monday and the daily reset at midnight (remember we speak of server time).
This marks (probably) the final big patch before our downtime to prepare for release. It may be subject to change depending on what more things I want to work on and change (lots of changes during downtime will be number related and will not have to be tested).
I'm always open to your feedback or suggestions. Thank you for keeping up to date with the development of this server and I hope for much more to come.
Thank you for your patience

Drops can be rewarded to the killer only, to the entire party/fellowship or both. A few examples have already been implemented. You may leave your suggestions for additional implementations (apart from bosses). Here are current uses:
- Element Bosses (end) reward an additional 50g per player.
- VanCliff (regular) each floor boss rewards 5g + 2 guaranteed White Bones per member.
- Drakos each floor boss rewards 10g + 2 Chaotic Metal Dust per member.
- Elga Mats:
- Cerberus (Elga mini boss 1): 10g, 1 shoulder 1 scale 1 bone + random 4 items from chest loot pool (min Lv. 70 required)
- Devi Leech (Elga mini boss 2): 10g, 1 shoulder 1 scale 1 eye 1 bone + 4 random items (Lv. 70 required)
- Diabolic (Elga mini boss 3): 10g, 2 shoulders 2 scales 1 eye 2 bones + 4 random items (Lv. 70 required)
- Elga 3rd form kill: 70g, 4 Essence of Darkness 4 red horns 1 nail 4 scales 1 eye 4 bones + 4 random items (Lv. 70 required)
- When dying in an expedition (boss) and the boss is killed, instead of being ported out, you are being revived and still receive rewards. Keep in mind that you will not receive direct drop rewards from the new drop system if the boss is killed while you're dead.
Account quests changes:
Account quests now also have weekly and daily versions! To test this concept (whether it just works) a few quests have been selected. The weekly reset is at midnight from sunday to monday and the daily reset at midnight (remember we speak of server time).
- Daily: Bone/Paris/Elga first time completion quests
- Weekly: Coastal Dungeon/Fire Temple/Mushroom Factory first time completion quests
This marks (probably) the final big patch before our downtime to prepare for release. It may be subject to change depending on what more things I want to work on and change (lots of changes during downtime will be number related and will not have to be tested).
