I have not tried out all the Party Quests yet.

I’ve heard from friends and guild members that this revamp is a success because the experience gain is fast.
I myself tried out Resurrection of the Hob King Party Quest. What I noticed was that there are only three stages and Shammos walks a lot faster in the right direction.
I gained 2% of experience in almost 5 minutes at level 164. I think that’s pretty good.
This Party Quest used to be very boring and Nexon did a great job renewing this one.
With the revamp, Nexon added a new system. The difficulty rate of the Party Quest depends on the average level of your party members.
For example, three Lv. 130 players can rush through the Party Quest with no trouble. But, if there isa Lv. 150 and 160 in the party, then the Party Quest will become difficult for the Lv. 130 players. The monsters and boss monsters will adjust to the higher leveled players.
The rewards from the Party Quests are completely changed. Better rewards are available. The rewards are basically an upgraded version of the original rewards.
When you talk to Shammos, there is an option you can pick. The option is if you want to obtain a reward.
Number 1,2 and 3 are upgraded Rex earrings. They have a level requirement of Lv. 120 and each color adds +8 STR,DEX,INT, LUK, +10% HP, +1 weapon/magic attack and +100 physical and magic defense.
The fourth option is the Rex’s Hyena mount. I was so happy to see this option, because now you can actually get it from Shammos.
There is a catch… For each upgraded Rex earring, you need to give Shammos 50 Proof of the Hob Warrior.
The Rex boss drops it and if one party member picks it up, everyone in the party will receive one. For the Rex’s Hyena mount, you need 300 pieces…
That means you’ll have to do this Party Quest 300 times. +_+
In case you are wondering, the bag is a Party Quest item bag. You can get it from a special quest that requires you to clear a Party Quest.
In this bag, you can store up to 8 Party Quest items. Proof of the Hob Warrior is one of them. I think other Party Quests have similar items in which you have to trade it for a reward.
Overall, even though I haven’t tried all Party Quests yet, I think Nexon is doing a great job with it. The Rex’s Hyena mount gives Battle Mages a mount they can have since the Resistance class doesn’t have one aside from the Wild Hunter.
There is a new notification system~
Let me first tell you what the five icons mean.
The lightbulb is for quests, the star is for events, the purple G box is from Deia’s G-Potion supply (new guild skill), the PC icon is when you are connected to a PC Room and the heart icon is for Item Pot.
The icons appear on the left side of the scrolls.
It’s an improvement, but now it’s hard to tell whenever I have a new quest available. I’ll get used to it. :)
A reminder to distribute your AP and/or SP has been added. It’s an exclamation mark.
What do you think? It’s great and all, but shouldn’t they have it added it way earlier?
The user interface of the medal collection has been updated. A few buttons have been added and everyone can now actually see your collection by clicking on your character info. They can see how many medals you have, how they look and what the stats are.
You can now sort your medals by name or date of acquirement.
Do you see that red button? If you tossed a medal away, it will register in your collection. However, now it is possible to get back that medal!
Yeah!~ However, I’m not sure if there are limitations. You have to pay meso and each time the fee goes up. You need to pay 1000 meso for the first medal.
Look in the image above, it says I need to pay 10,000 meso if I want my 3rd medal back in my inventory.
I have a Henesys Donor King medal, but that medal cannot be re-obtained for obvious reasons.
The main point of Jump! The Archer restructuring!
Nexon made some tweaks during the transition to the public server. Check it out~
