KMS ver. 1.2.111 ~ Lion King Van Leon

Hi everyone!


[Alternative Link]

The castle of Lionheart is amazing. Just now I was forced to quit the game because of a minor patch. I was hunting at Beowulf with my guild members and really… +_+

I started at Lv. 138 80% and ended at 51% in less than 2 hours. Why so good? Because maps in Lionheart motivates you to use the party system.

With 6 members in a party, everyone will get 250% extra bonus EXP!! The map at Beowulf is not small and the spawn is pretty OK.
This is really good, but I think they will nerf the party bonus EXP.
Van Leon. I’m still busy with the quests, a video will come soon..hopefully. You can only fight Van Leon once a day
Also, there is a new feature. When you talk to a few NPCs in the castle of Lionheart, you will actually hear a real voice!

So I know a lot of you people are confused about the whole Ultimate Adventurer thing. I can explain it for you.

The Ultimate Adventurer

An Ultimate Adventurer can be created through the Empress of Eereb after you achieved Lv. 120 on your Cygnus character.
The Empress of Ereb will give you a task. She asks you to collect 10 Peridots from the monster Haf in Leafre.

Return back to Ereb when you have the 10 Peridots. When you completed her quest, she will reward your Cygnus character with two skills.

The Empress’ Call
It adds 20% MaxHP and MaxMP permanently. Master level is 1.

The Empress’ Prayer
For 2 hours, your weapon and magic attack increases by 4%. The buff will stay active until the time runs out. If you die, the buff doesn’t disappear. Cooldown: 1 day.
Master level is 1.

The quest for the 10 Peridots is a prequisite to create an Ultimate Adventurer.

If you’re ready to create an Ultimate Adventurer, you need to make sure that you have a character slot available or else it’s not possible. If you have one available, the Empress will have a new quest for you.

After you accepted the quest from the Empress, this user interface will pop up.
You can enter the name you desire and of course you can choose what job you want for your Ultimate Adventurer! You can choose for Warrior, Magician, Archer, Thief or Pirate. The other options are face and hair style.

When you finished creating your Ultimate Adventurer, log out and log in again to see your Lv. 50 Ultimate Adventurer standing in a town in Victoria Island. Yes, that is not a typo. You start at Lv. 50!
The AP/SP are not automatically distributed, so you can add the stats and skills as you wish.

You will also get a full set of ”Empress” equipment. The equipment has a level requirement of Lv. 60, but with the Empress’ Strengthening, you can wear it at Lv. 50!

4 set bonus
HP: +100
MP: +100
Physical Defense: +50
Magic Defense: +50

5 set bonus
AllStat: +6
Weapon Attack: +5
Magic: +5
Physical Defense: +100
Magic Defense: +100
Speed: +20

- Ultimate Adventurers share the same Cash Shop wardrobe with other Adventurers.

- Ultimate Adventurers obtain a medal that says ”(name of your Cygnus)’s Successor”.
The medal adds the following stats:
Weapon Attack: +2
Magic: +2
HP/MP: +200
Speed: +10
Jump: +10
- The special Cygnus skill depends what job your Ultimate Adventurer is.
Example: A Gunslinger and Infighter UA (Pirate) can get Hawkeye’s Sharkwave and not Oz’s Flame Gear. Someone in my guild made an Ultimate Adventurer (Gunslinger) and he said that it was possible to use Sharkwave on a Gunslinger equipped with a gun. He also said that Sharkwave is not faster than a regular Striker but definitely not slow.

Warrior: Soul Driver
Magician: Flame Gear
Archer: Wind Piercing
Thief: Vampire
Pirate: Sharkwave
- You can only create one Ultimate Adventurer. So be careful with your decision.

Thanks to Matt for the UA images~^^
