Episode 12 Live (Part 2)
clarification: Not every item Nue found which we translated earlier today is part of the Episode 12 announcement. The Aden coin and Ancient Scale Mails are *not* something NC has announced, they are just in "concept" form right now. The only announced new items are the ones in THIS post. Thanks ^^
So, to review, here are all the parts of Episode 12, which was published to Korean Live Servers today, 2/5. (There's some new stuff, so read)
  1. Aden Siege

    The Castle of Aden, the largest castle in Aden, has a new siege system involving multiple towers and a central tower. In addition, if you are the pledge which is defending Aden, it is possible that Ken Rauhel and Kerenis will lead their army of Kurtz and the Black Knights to invade your castle, in addition to the existing threat by other pledges. Yes. NPCs will siege.

  2. Aden Town

    Aden City is an enormous city which includes Aden Castle in it's boundaries. You will also be able to purchase two floor pledge houses in Aden City.

  3. Tower of Insolence

    While only 10 floors of the Tower of Insolence are currently accessible, complete with new monsters we've already covered and the Lich boss on floor 10, the Tower of Insolence will eventually have 100 floors!

  4. Hometown System

    Players will (for a small fee) be able to choose a hometown and compete to be mayor of that town. The mayor will receive special town privileges.

  5. Alliance System

    Royals, who have passed the level 45+ Alliance quest, will now be able to communicate with allied pledges using the new alliance system. Alliance leaders can invite pledges to join their alliance (up to a limit on total size based on CHA). Then, the royal can assign ranks to each pledge member.

    Pledge members can be one of 4 ranks. The highest rank is reserved for the Alliance leader. The next rank is for members granted the ability to speak on Alliance chat (use % for alliance chat). Royals will be able manage all this from the /pledge menu.

  6. Experience Buyback

    Players can buy back experience from their last death (only once) at the price of level * level * 100 (if level 1-44) and level * level * 200 (if level 45+).

    Those prices are for players with 0 lawful. Chaotic players will get a higher price and lawful players will get a discount. It will be proportional to your lawfulness. Full lawful players get 1/2 off. Full chaotic players will get 2x the price. Everyone else will fall somewhere in between.

  7. Lindvior

    Lindvior, the fourth of the elemental dragons, will spawn in a special area marked on the Aden map as "Scar of Lindvior".

  8. New Items

    Two posts below this are Nue's pictures of some of these items, but here is the list of new items:

    • Titan's Belt - increases weight capacity by "50%".
    • Lich Robe - AC 3, +50 MP, MP regen increase
    • Shield of Medusa - AC 2, +5% MR
    • Minotaur Axe - 12/14, Hastes wearer
    • Ancient Giant Ring - AC 2, +1 STR
    • Ken Rauhel Set - Prince only armor set, AC 3 set bonus, morphs you into Ken Rauhel.
    • Kerenis Set - Mage only armor set, AC 2 set bonus, morphs you into Kerenis.
    (Note: we've heard nothing special about the speed of Ken Rauhel or Kerenis to be challenge the level 50+ morphs, it's probable that Baphomet/Beleth will still remain faster in speed and Death Knight will still be a superior all-around morph)

  9. New Game Updates

    We posted this below. ;)

Its going to come when it is "Bug-Free" on the Korean Test Servers. Then it goes to korean live. Then they send it to NC Austin to translate it into english. Then once its translated it goes to US test. Then bugs are sorted out. THEN it goes to live. So its gonna take a while. ^^

that tower gonna be CRAZY!

FINALLY, you know, allowing NPCs to randomly invade castles owned by a pledge was an idea i had submitted like a year and a half ago o.O im guessing all those BK/kurtz will drop to hehehe that will be so much fun.

lawful people get exp buyback discount? how good will that be i wonder since at lvl 49 i will lose only 5% exp at death? i wont pay 480k to get back 2.5% :)

*Edit*

btw the article doesnt say that the titan belt casts auto-slow on the wearer now has that been removed or forgot to mention it in the article amateras?

#5: It's already on korean live which means is pretty much bug free. Read the first line on the news. Lazy? Here, I have it for you:
"So, to review, here are all the parts of Episode 12, which was published to Korean Live Servers today, 2/5. "

NCAustin has already put some stuff in, just not active. Some text files are already translated.

100 floors, that's why we have those different scrolls to fly us to different levels of the tower. Imagine how hard the 100th floor would be if lvl 10 is already like this? o.o

I wish they'd do some decent lvl.45 Morphs.
They all are sucky useless mage nonsense.
Any good new Morphs should be 45, not 5x

I can't believe NCSoft is doing yet another
+50Mp instead of +50Hp item for Mages.
Are they completely sick in the head?!

SpysLikeUs... real mages fight with magic. Get a 50HP belt, a 50MP mage set and a 50MP lich robe... what else would you like? Use 20HP orc ammy if you need that much HP for gods sake... I think mages (con) have enought HP already. Int mages had enough (my lvl 47 with 50hp belp + orc ammy has 300) when we didnt have soft AC. Now, its hard (near impossible) for us to hunt decent bosses...

"it is possible that Ken Rauhel and Kerenis will lead their army of Kurtz and the Black Knights to invade your castle, in addition to the existing threat by other pledges. Yes. NPCs will siege."
i like it, tho they need to beef up the bks in those sieges or they fall like the ppl during previous faf hunts -_-..

"You will also be able to purchase two floor pledge houses in Aden City."
do they have balconies like the castles??? and do they have good view of the city??

"the Tower of Insolence will eventually have 100 floors!"
11f - balrog
12f-100f - gms + monitors + antharas + fafurion + valakas + lindvior ???

"Lindvior, the fourth of the elemental dragons, will spawn in a special area marked on the Aden map as "Scar of Lindvior'".
oo..so it wont fly around then?? (better stay out of the area if not prepared heh)
what gypse town next to that place do tho?? anyone know??

lich robe: good, cop ac, mp regen rate increase heh...
minotaur axe: better version of berserker axe....knight only on this too?
ancient giant ring: oh my...a ring that +str and ac...

can ppl still tame the jello monsters?????

Anyone know if you will be able to esc from all the ep 12 areas? Or will some be like FI--if you're in trouble, you die?

I ask cause it's clear that much of ep 12 designed for very high lvl players. I'm wondering if *anyone* will be going to FI once ep 12 published...

I think he means that you pay half the adena to get back your full death loss
Unless chao people get 2 times the exp back o_O

The way I figure it on the 100th floor there is treasure. Getting up there is a feet and it should be well rewarded. I imagine if you plan to go to 100th floor you would have to set out one day to do it. With 7 other friends you would all have to take 400 C-Clears.

everyone will be in lin 2 before there will be enuf updates and stuff to reach floor 100. tower of insolence is NC's lazy way of doing things. instead of real updates like another DV or FV or oren wasteland... they just add more stuff to the floors of the tower. kekeke. ^__^

problem is, is dat if u do go up there wit a party who'z gonna get da item... o.0 i smell greedy mofo'z jakin up and ppl complaining on board'z

why does everyone give him a hard time with the way he chats? don't read his shiza if u got a problem with it. this is just a comments board ~~


i think there are overcrowd issues being addressed by that 100 floor tower think about it.

ok.. lvl 1 is crowded. there is not enough mop for me to kill. *move up floor*
5 mins later: this floor has become crowded now. ok move up floor. repeat.

remember, its easy to move up a floor when theres too many people to fit in 1 floor, its just that now if you REALLY want to hunt those mops you need only move up a floor instead of leaving to hunt elsewhere. and also remember, korean servers have plenty of people on at the same time to suffice ^^
