Episode 11 News
The publish of Lineage Episode 11: Oren is scheduled to be completed during the 10:00 AM CST maintenance period on Wednesday, July 17th. 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.

Contents and changes included with Episode 11: Oren include:

  • Oren art and map files have been added. Included in this publish are the Ivory Tower, Ivory Tower Village, 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 Elven magic. Elven magic (also called 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 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 level minimum to some of items for HP/MP boost:
    • Singing Island amulet lev. 5
    • Hidden Valley amulet lev. 5
    • Amulet of Orc Warrior 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.

Yay, hopefully the live servers will like the update as much as Test. Though I have to say that high level players may be dissapointed by the lack of hunting.

.... Lvl cap for the items? Does that mean no one above lvl 10 can use orc ammy? or no one under lvl 10 can use orc ammy? T_T I see str, con and dex ammy going up in price if the first is true --

About the item level Cap, I heard that you can wear the item below it's capped level, it just won't give you the extra hp or mp, it's so that really low level characters don't become uber I guess.

I hope I can actually get a Sahya bow eventually, and I still think the Dark elf from 40 to 52 is a little much if you ask me.

i agree that there should be an elf morph thats a bit better then what u guys got now...but if you think the new DE lv req. is too high then i guess youd have to say the same about DK being too high...i think that its a good idea, just more ppl play knight;the hardcore ppl that play 24/7 simply choose knigh i think...i dunno maybe not :P

We need to set a Date for a big fafurion hunt.

Fafurion hunt with 100+ players, equip yourself at least with this and follow the advice:

05 Bless of eva ..... Breathe under water ability, 30 min, dont need to eat after death.
20 Haste/Brave ...... Speed is importent
02 G-Haste .......... Use 1 when running down to the lair.
05 Twigs ............ Use if Vakuuk or any else sea monster poisen you.
05 Sosc ............. Use 1 when running down and waste some when fighting fafurion.
10 Ebonys ........... Be sure to target fafurion, dont panic hit him, u only waste em then.
50 Clears ........... Keep hp above 0
50 Oranges .......... Eat after death to gain full hp fast
50 Velox ............ Ressurect so many players as fast as u can, thats how u beat fafurion.
+5 MR Set ........... Fafurions bubble inflicts up to 500 hp dmg, and his melee can be hold of with oranges

20+ CON Knight lvl 40+ to survive the bubble attack
20+ STR Knight lvl 30+ to inflict melee damage on Fafurion
20+ DEX Elf lvl 30+ to attack from range and res players
40+ WIS Mage lvl 30+ to attack from range and res players
05+ CHA Prince lvl 30+ for good pledge communication

First meeting place is at Heine dwarf
Second meeting place is Heine cave entrence, south east from dwarf
Third meeting place is in the water outside Fafurions lair, to the west from water passage.

1st floor stair down is located south east
2nd floor stair down is located south west
3rd floor stair down is located south west
4th floor lair is located west

Be sure that everyone finds their way down, stay at each floor and shout for them.
Use restarted axeman morph when running down, no mosters are agressive to that.

Before attack where everyone waits at the lair, and some scouts are inside looking for Fafurion,
its most importent that you're quiet and listen to the leaders that been here hunting him before.

When fafurion is spotet and its safe to enter the Lair, everyone go at the same time.
The melee fighters first and mages half a screen behind ready to res them fast.

Even when it seems you have fafurion on hes knees the situation can very fast change,
so I cant say this enough, its most importent to res then cast a spell or hit.
And its gonna be even more cruetial now when there is a time delay on velox 10 sec.


Tips

Mages: Dont waste mp trying to tame any cool monsters on the way down, always full.
Elfs: Be careful if u dont use sosc down coz so many hard monsters attack u.
Knights: You run fast and knows the way down, wait and help the other classes plz.
Princes: Keep the fighting spirit up and help everyone, leadership skills.

Pope...
I don't know if you have noticed recently, but there has been many many multi hour faf hunts and at least on Ken no one has even gotten close to killing him recently... This may work. Although there is no incentive for mages, princes or elves to go as they will get nada...

At least the experience increase for hunting in a party appears to make sense. Good luck to you all. Today is the last day for my account. I may be logging on this afternoon (if it still works) to give away items on Test server from one of my son's characters (an elf called Lorien, I think). My son called me last night just to talk about how much fun the game *used* to be and we both will miss those days when we first discovered the game and were still getting whooped by wild boars. Back then the game seemed to make sense and had a balance that seemed to us close the balance of Diablo I. I haven't started a new character since before a lot of the latest changes, but I suspect that it's still fun for the first 12 to 15 levels. Basically I think it's next to impossible to design a game that has really good balance all the way to level 50. Perhaps the only way to do it is to have separate areas that are only accessible by characters who've reached a certain level. Then the rules for that particular area can be different from easier areas. But it really seems that no one cares to resurrect the old Lineage horse and will instead focus on Lineage II and other newer MMORPG's. Maybe those of us who would still be happy playing Diablo I (if it had continued expansions to keep us involved) with 1995 style graphics are in the minority. But if you look around and see some of the other MMORPG's that are still thriving with '92 (!) style graphics, then maybe there is a niche for something like Lineage (if it were done right).
Oh well, it's been fun.

BigPope is one of the greedy players that when ever he hears about a dragon hunt is on, he go down and haste the damn thing >.<

Yes there was a time when a few good friends could end a dragon easy, but if you havnt noticed the dragons have grown old and more experienced too.

You cant expect to get a drop nor your best friend will, but thats not why im hunting him, i just want to see that blue rat dead. I only died 38 times last hunt with my prince, i got a good feeling about the next hunt. ^^

I say lets visit Fafurion one time before episode 11 on Thuesday the 16th July

So till then hunt alot of Ghouls, Zombies and Orc Zombies for res scrolls.
( hunt SKT Cave 2~3f, Giran Cave 1~3f, Mainland cave 3~7f, Elven Cave )
