| 7/17 - Episode 11: Oren |
A reminder: Lineage Episode 11 will be released to the North American Lineage servers today (July 17th) during the 10:00 AM CST maintenance period. All Lineage servers will be unavailable for approximately two hours while the update is completed. While the majority of Episode 11 content has already been patched in recent weeks, there will still be a substantial download (approximately 30 megs) for this update.
- In addition to the following changes, Episode 11 will include the release of the Giran colosseum deathmatch system. This system allows players to rent the Giran colosseum for monster battles in which the following rules apply:
- Only 4 deathmatchs may be played per day
- Potions may be used
- Scrolls of escape may be used
- Spectator tickets may be purchased for these events
UPDATE: This system has been held back from publish due to late-breaking issues and will not be included with today's publish. We will update more information on the release of system as it is available.
- Episode 11 will include the following previously announced changes:
- Oren art and map files have been added. Included in this publish are the Ivory Tower, Ivory Tower Town, Crystal Cavern dungeon, Border Fortress, and a wasteland filled with undead Elmore soldiers from the famed war with Elmore.
- Additional magic spells are available with this episode. The magic update includes changes/additions to regular magic and the introduction of spirit (Elven) magic. Spirit magic can be learned by Elves at the Mother Tree or in the training room at the Ivory Tower. Items related to learning and casting spirit magic spells include spirit crystals, which serve as spellbooks, and spirit gems, which are like magic gems for regular magic.
- The NPC Ellyonne can instruct Elves on the use of spirit magic. Elves can learn the common line, and at level 30 may choose an elemental line to specialize in. Ellyonne can be found in the Ivory Tower.
- New hunting grounds have been added, including areas of the Ivory Tower (4th through 8th floor).
- Demon armor and death knight armor is added.
- Sayha’s bow is added.
- New loot items have been added to certain creatures.
- Bius in Oren will sell a map of the area.
- New monsters related to the Oren area and both new player zones have bean added.
- Teleportation (spell or scroll) will not work in dragon lairs, including teleporting out with a scroll of escape.
- The ‘Party System’ has been modified to increase the experience bonus given to party members. The experience bonus will increase depending on the number of players within the party. Additional experience will be given if/when a Prince/Princess leads a party. The additional experience bonus rate is not necessarily applied to players who do not stay on the same screen as the rest of the group.
- Characters will not lose experience until reaching level 10.
- The minimum level for polymorphing into a dark elf has been changed from 40 to 52 and it can shoot arrows at a much higher speed.
- The delay has increased on the time between successive uses of the scroll of resurrection. Players cannot use it more than one time without waiting 10 seconds.
- Players under the spell Curse: Blind are no longer able to stop the spell’s effect themselves by drinking potions. They must wait until the effect wears off or is cancelled.
- Added a minimum level to some of items for HP/MP boost:
- Singing Island amulet lev. 5
- Hidden Valley amulet lev. 5
- Amulet of orc fighter lev. 10
- Old belt lev. 15
- Belt lev. 30
- Shield of Eva lev. 40
- Blank scrolls are now in the game. Mages can write spells to blank scrolls, creating a magic spell scroll (much like scrolls of resurrection, escape, etc.). They can be used by all classes, but only Wizards can create them. The Wizard’s level must be equal to the ‘level of the blank scroll * 8’ in order to successfully create the new spell scroll. Mages can craft the spells by double clicking on the blank scroll and then selecting the spell they want to create.
