US Test Server
I went around exploring the US Test server and it seems that there are some unpublished updates and a few test server bugs.
  1. First of all, all of the new quests are up. In addition, all of the old quests are *gone*. No Silver Knight's Shield, no Red Knight's Cloak, no Red Knight's Sword, no Elven Short Sword of Magic Power, no Elven Short Sword of Constitution, no Elven Bow of Dexterity. Particularly noticable is the lack of the Staff of Mana quest. It's just flat out gone. I asked around - to see if it has become a drop instead of a quest, but no one has received it as a drop. My hope is that it has gone the way of the Staff of Force - a rare drop from a weak monster (making it a total pain to hunt), but who knows. I just cannot fathom why NC would make it disappear - so it's gotta be a drop. *crosses fingers*
  2. The Knight quest has an issue. You can get the "Knight's Hood" - a -1 AC helm - easily. Just kill a Black Knight to get the appropriate item. However, step 2 (to get the -2 AC item), you need to get an Old Trade Document (which I got when killing the first Black Knight) *and* a Turtle Dragon Skin. This Turtle Dragon Skin currently does not drop at all.
  3. BigPope tried to use n-zel on the Knight's Hood. You can't at all. It's stuck at +0. He tried to drop it. You can't do that either - it's like the Valley/Island Certification. DECOONE tried to use n-zel on the Cursed Scroll (the AC -1 shield from the Mage Quest). That is stuck on +0 too. (Nice replacement from Staff of Mana -.- If any level 15 player doesn't have a -1 AC shield then there's something very wrong with them.) If anyone tried to drop/zel the other new quest items, please send us an email ;) D
  4. Equal reported that the skeleton polymorphs are broken. When you try to morph into a skeleton, it says it is not allowed.
  5. Margarita reported that there is a new Black Knight pack of 2 "Black Knight Scout". I couldn't find them though, they must be more rare than the regular Black Knights.
  6. Radiation reports that Randal, an NPC which sells potions in Giran, can be moved around using a wand of blink.

wow i dont remeber trying to zel that item (im deccone) musta been my bro. But i wa expecting it to happen sooner or later anyways guys dont worry SOM is gone from exeistance you just kinda knew NC would do it some day. Ok before hand with the mage nerfing i was pretty surei am gonna quit give accont to bro. and i wasnt even gonna try lineage 2 so dont expect to see me there im no even interested in the beta. I am going to get into COH alot better then lin 2 hehehe u can fly plus its skill based! Anyways but now im certain that im gonna quit cause they are really nerfin mages so instead of becoming the favored knight i decided to forget abou it and say bye bye to lin and find a good game. O and anyne who is quittin with me and dont want to play lin 2(im only counting on mabey 3 if i got all 3 servers)then go to www.coh.com instead of waitin fr NC to screw lineage 2.

Also meditiation nows adds +5mp per tick, instead of only +1mp per tick.

Knocks a couple of minutes of your regain time - Seeing as no som means I can't regain mp in the desert.

There is 2 parts to the knight quest and the mage quest
the mage quest you need the 2 ghoul items, then you get the shield.
But~! you need to get the skeleton skull to make it into the +1 int shield (im sure u can + that)
Knight quest u need the BK item, then you need to finish it off with the turtle dragon skin.

I think if that is true, korean test wouldn't of already known and amateras would of posted?
I still don't see why som is out. Most mages don't have the str/con to carry items and little amounts of pots would make them heavy. This leads to mana pot and meditation being useless and mages would have a hard time hunting. It's not like the ac nerf earlier didn't affect them and now they need to use more pots/heals than ever. Little pots carried + more pots = 5 min hunts which get you no exp?
