* Chinese get 2 mastery points per level, like Euros have
* Lightning nuke now hits 5 targets instead of 3
* Old Force tree has been renamed to Recovery and is a separate Mastery with NO IMBUE
* Recovery has gotten better (group) healing/recovery skills & also has some kind of Holy Spell
* Biggest Balance Update (see above, HS only 50% & 5min cooldown on black res - finally)
* Every chinese weapon mastery has a "buff" to spread damage in the party

* Level 1-70 are new quests with xp,sp & tokens as reward (old quests are NOT available)
* Nearly all 1-70 quests are now started at the outposts (kill + drop quest per mobtype)
* Forgotten World quests are still started in town, same as inventory expansions
* At Levels 1, 16, 24, 32, 42, 52, 64 u "complete" a quest just by reaching that level
U will be awarded with a sos weapon, sos shield, sos clothes set & sos acc set
* Monk tokens drop from 1-25ish mobs
* Soldier tokens drop from 25-42ish mobs
* General tokens drop from 42-70 mobs
* 3 Monk = 1 Soldier & 3 Soldier = 1 General
* U can buy Som & Sun gear (everything) with those tokens from the npc
* Yeowa (snakes), Red scorps, Black robber (all), Maong areas made bigger
* NPC'ing FGW portals gives u 1 gold per portal
* NPC gives free repot -> 500hp, 500mp, 100 pills, 100 special pills, 5000 arrows, 5000 bolts; all of these are 1 stack and u can only carry 1 stack of each. Upon reaching a certain level, pot size changes automatically at npc (u must rebuy the new ones)
* Repair is still needed, but costs 0 gold (1-70)
* Teleporting is 0 gold (1-70)
* Monsters DO NOT DROP ANYTHING when u are 7 levels or higher than the mob
* I heard rumors it's impossible to delevel (u stop at 0.00%)





* FGW re-entry time is now 3hours cooldown
* Uniques can drop Beads (0-4(highest confirmed) per Unique), these give random SP rewards (going from 200-8000(highest confirmed))
* When clearing first unique, a portal is made at starting area to teleport to first unique spot





* When selecting a character, more info is displayed at the logon screen (top left)
* When a character is selected, u can press arrows to select the char left or right from the current selected character
* Function added on the map to view quests (botton option when map is open)
* Help is displayed within loading screens (bottom left)


Bugs or things that need revision (send reports)
* Making a guild requires 500k gold, but gold not available till 70. Needs to be changed to coins
* Wolves are 1m gold, so same as guild issue
* Anti-bot system... (ATM nothing is being done about botters (1 week since opening OB))
* Dark-eye & Devil-eye ghost (dead ravine) spawnrate has been lowered too much
* Flowers (36 ones) spawnrate completely messed up, u can hardly encounter them
* White & Blue face spider spawnrate messed up
* Oasis now has robbers & yeowa instead of Flowers & Scorps while Yeowa area was already so big
* Bring back old job system


edits:
* added chinese imbue seconds - Thanks William
* guild cost changed to 500k from 1m - Thanks Ltsune

Imbues are 6-9-12-15-18-21 Seconds for Chinese.
I don't even notice the difference in weapon damage that much. Prolly due to having a sun weapon though.

It's a little thing, but you said it cost 1m to make a guild, while it's actually 500k.
Just wanted to let you know

Apart from that, nice thread!

The hell are the gift boxes from the guild rewards?



which sucks for FGW. Uniques won't drop the beads after 7 levels either ;_;

Yeah, it sucks.

And we don't know, that's why it's called GIFT boxes

The great mystery of the gift boxes. Someone give me the source file from the pk2 along with all versions of the bead please.

Nice thread.. whats with the job system at the moment?.. Is it like a mixture of the old and new one?

Not really like the old system but joymax did add some changes to it recently.

Like now you can get exp while wearing the job suit and the target trade is from level 1 (the level 1 target vehicle has 87k hp so it isn't hard >.>)

Btw if you want to do target trade go from Downhang to Hotan, this is the easiest route (the trade must end in Hotan).

Oh alright haha, still like SRO-R. Favourite SRO till now
