Well, as promised, though a little late as I've been caught off guard by the sudden update, here is a thread on many of the changes that will take place once the server has gone back up.

(Quite a bit of this is taken from the amazing blog of Epifanes, and most credit goes to him, as he's inspired me to do something like this. Many images were taken from the blog as well, and are in japanese)

Overall Changes:
We get a new patcher and login screen:

Spoiler

New continent map added for the Ice Continent

Spoiler

Increased Level Cap to 75
Skill Changes, additions, and balancing:

Several Hero Quests related to a new armor set for level 35

Map Changes:
Several maps have undergone changes to create a more efficient experience while being on them.
Changed maps include:
Valid Raeth: Map has a lot of fog and is rather dark. You can't see the entrance to Lavalon's dungeon from far away anymore.
Moonlight Shore Village: Fog cleared away from the map; much easier to see the whole town now
Water Dungeon: Added new walls and reduced the amount of moving parts in the dungeon to increase performance
Added portals to the new dungeons in Parmir Sanctuary, Moonlight Shore, and Howling Wind's Hill.

Quest changes:
Hookah now no longer has anything to do with job changing to 2nd class. You must clear the Second version of the Wolve's Den dungeon to job advance. When you change jobs, you now get a full set of items that look exactly like your class's base clothes. You are rewarded with a Sign of Dragon Fellowship as well. You also gain a new more powerful weapon when jobchanging that is basically the Wing weapon with a different name. (You can see the claw and spear in the bottom spoiler)

Spoiler

Completing both Underground Cemetary and Spectre's Tower seem to be part of job changing to 3rd class (Not confirmed, may be false)
Ice Continent hero quests begin at level 56

Added end-game Items

Other Images:

Spoiler

"Master" Weapons that are obtained after beating the first version of the Wolve's dungeon. You can see the master claw and master staff in this picture. Also shown is the new version of the Gas Mask. This new gas mask is part of a set that consists of 3 other pieces. More info on that can be found on epifane's blog.

This is all I have observed/can remember off the top of my head. It's a bit more in-depth than our stickied topic at the moment, and I have no details about the production system that I have actual experience with, though information on it can be found here -> http://jdragonica.wo...duction-skills/

Again most credit goes to Epifanes for introducing me to such information. I apologize for this taking so long, but I hope this can clear up a bit of confusion. If you think that I messed something up, please don't hesitate to correct me.

You're KIDDING. I did the job change quest for my archer RIGHT before the servers went down.

The ONE time I get gung-ho about advancing. Ugh.

im mad

Oh geez =x

I also added that you get a new job change weapon, which is the wing weapon but with a different name. Much more powerful than the flame weapons you used to get.

I cannot win.

[Teochiu]

Lol....

Also, any clue on how far out Production System will be? Are we only getting first stage with this patch? Because if we'll be getting stage 2 and stage 3, that means item upgrading will get even more complicated...

I honestly cannot say, because the production system was not added to IAH as they said it would be.

*gasp* AKIHIRO!!

I just remembered who you are!

You're the nice lurker with the guild! I knew you were familiar but I couldn't put my finger on it!

Wait a second. Does that mean that we can't get Dragon Fellowship necklaces anymore if we didn't complete that quest pre-patch? QQ

[Rynas]

Thanks for the info. Really helped

Hm, that may be the case. That certainly is unfortunate. I feel bad for not getting this out sooner >___<

Thanks, I was wondering how large the new continent would be. Assuming that's the whole map shown we're looking at 8 new field maps and a new town, and an unimplemented dungeon. How many of the field maps have mission maps?

There's four mission maps. The town is not yet implemented in any version because that's the Sky Garden which I am dying for.

[paulafini]

is there a new BD set with the regular/hero mode?

[Kazu731]

No.

[Rinami]

So we have lvl 40 set using people with Bone weps on the login screen (Does the pally have an avalanche cape?)... I wish these images made sense sometimes...

Do underground/Spector need the retarded new artis/NL quests?
And job change gives a lvl 29 wep with 2x stats + armor that replicates my 20 sets without needing to farm them? They really should mail these to every char below lvl 30.... and a new fellowship sign since I think they'll prob remove it from the farrell quest.

[Akihiro]

is there a new BD set with the regular/hero mode?

Not in this update.

[paulafini]

No.

how sad

That came out fairly recently in Japan. Not even IAH has that yet.
