A bit of a lull but some interesting dates have been released! First of all, on June 26, the conference that will release more information about the RED update will occur! I’m excited to see if anything we haven’t already seen will be shown (5th job…?).
The second date is not exactly concrete, but based on the events that were added, the first RED update will take place on July 4! This will probably be the ‘Revolution’ part, including the Adventurer reorganization.
There were some interesting changes in the real server this patch that I added into my last post a little late. You might not have seen it so I will copy them over here.
The first thing has to do with buffs on your screen and how they appear! They will now be sorted in this order:
Etc | Beginner | 1st job | 2nd job | 3rd job | 4th job | Hyper | Pet skills | Link Skills
Of course, that means when you rebuff they’ll go into the slots they are supposed to go and will no longer appear on the right side of the screen.
Next up, it’s sort of hard to explain but you know when monsters respawn, they do it every like 12 seconds right? Like no matter how many you kill, you have to wait a certain period of time until the game checks and spawns them. Well in this patch they reduced that time to about 6-7 seconds, so monsters will be respawning quicker for those who kill fast!
You can see a demonstration in the video above.
And also, when you fly to the Temple of Time, your pets will automatically be brought back out when you arrive! I don’t know about you guys but I always got so annoyed by this… great change~ I think it also applies when you use an airplane but I haven’t checked it out yet.
The first event started a little while back actually, it’s the 2013 Summer Rainbow event and it will run until June 30.
Basically, each day something special will happen! But first of all, each day you will receive a Rainbow Magic buff which gives 20 attack and magic attack, 40 speed, and maximum jump for 1 hour.
On Mondays, you’ll get a Pendant of the Spirit which gives you more experience if you stay logged on (10% up to 1 hour, 20% up to 2 hours, and 30% for more than 2 hours).
On Tuesdays, boss and master monsters will give 15% extra experience!
On Wednesdays, the entry limit for certain content will be increased! Evolving System’s limit will be increased from 5 to 10, Dimension Invade’s from 10 to 20, and Monster Park Extreme from 5 to 10.
On Thursdays, party quests will give 50% extra experience when cleared! Monster Park’s bonus stage change will also be increased by 50%.
On Fridays, you’ll get 3 Hyper Rainbow Magic buffs which give 40 attack and magic attack, 40 speed, and maximum jump for 30 minutes.
Finally on the weekend, you’ll get 2 Rainbow Alley Tickets which when used will lead you to a map with alley cats. They’ll give experience and mesos based on your level and you can hunt in the map for 30 minutes.
In addition, over the course of the event, monsters around your level will be dropping Rainbow Boxes which can be opened for prizes!
- 50% Golden Hammer
- Special Potential Scroll
- Advanced Equipment Enhancement Scroll
- Special Additional Potential Stamp
- Rainbow Earrings (come with potential and additional options)
- Rainbow Earring-only scrolls (70% for 1 stat with 70% chance of breaking if failed, 30% for 2 all stats and 1 attack/magic attack with 100% chance of breaking if failed)
- Potion items
Next is the Clam Shell Attendance Check event! It runs from June 24 to July 3.
Each day, in order to be checked off, you must collect 30 Rainbow Clam Shells from monsters around your level. Of course there are prizes based on how many days you participate!
- 1 day: Accessory Scroll (either a 60% scroll that gives 2 all stats or a 60% scroll that gives 50 HP if you are a Demon Avenger)
- 3 days: 60% Chaos Scroll
- 5 days: Lucky Day Scroll
- 7 days: Advanced Additional Potential Stamp
- 9 days: Advanced Equipment Enhancement Scroll
- 10 days: Character Slot Expansion Coupon
Finally the event that hints towards the RED update patch date, the 2013 Summer D-DAY event! It runs from June 24 to July 3.
Each day you’ll have to collect special items from monsters around your level. These items have to do with adventurers, so it helps even more with my hypothesis! There’s things like the Warrior’s Blade Fragments, Archer’s Golden Arrows, and Magician’s Magic Orbs.
For each day you participate, your Maple Leaf’s Blessing buff will level up! The buff gives attack and magic attack and can be used repeatedly until July 17.
The left column is the buff that Adventurers will receive and the right is all other jobs, as you can see Adventurers will receive more attack and magic attack~
