Hello everyone, with a new month comes a new patch notes thread!
We have multiple projects going on in the foundry and we'll be getting more of these rolled out during the month.
October 30:
-Blacksmith and Alchemist lists reset
-God item creation project update: Now, completing seals will give you a weightless, account bound token. Eventually these tokens will be tradable and vendable, and will be used by guild leaders to obtain the monster hunt quest for the upcoming Guild Dungeon 5. Each seal will now give a token specific to that seal. The seal quests will otherwise be unchanged.
-Organic Jakk becomes passive
-Fix dungeon teleport scroll to get to Thors
-Fixed portals going to and from einbroch field 2, Juno field 4
-WoE supply boxes will be replacing certain drops of Guild Dungeon monsters. We'll have a page up soon with the details on what monsters and what the boxes will contain.
-Increased spawn rates by 10~20% of the following guild dungeon monsters
- Skeleton General
- Gajomart-speed increased
- Giant Spider
- Ancient Worm
- Killer Mantis
- Giant Hornet
- Caterpillar -speed increased
- Gullinbursti
- Creamy Fear
- Leib Olmai
- Wraith Dead
- Mini Demon
- Zombie Master
Guild Surplus Box description:
This Guild Surplus box contains many ingredients that can be used to supply Guilds for all their Combat needs.
Found in Guild dungeons these boxes can contain a lot of supplies; including
Witch Starsand, Karvodailnirol, Speed Potions, Authoritative Bade, Stem, Poison Spore, Fabric, Zenorc Fang, Immortal Hearts, Heart of Mermaid, and Crystal Fragments.
Weight: 1
Contents of the box, gives one of the following at random, some of the items will have a range in the number of that item given:
Crystal Fragment x100
Mermaid Heart x400
Immortal Heart x200~400
Authoritative Badge x200

Stem x100~700
Zenorc's Fang x150

Tentatively, we are changing Slim White Potion heal to be equal to mastela, as currently mastelas heal more even when the former are ranked. We are still working with the rates so the healing value may fluctuate based on testing and your feedback.
VIP/Point promotion! Convert 500 or more WPE to KP and that account will receive 7 days of bonus VIP time! Just a little "thank ye" for supporting us this month. Eligible for once per account. VIP is given to eligible accounts on Tuesdays and Fridays.
October 23:
HE BM/BG changed back to 15 minute duration
Halloween arrives on Classic, with a Named Whisper mask reward item for the first time you turn in. On subsequent turn ins you can get random items including WoE supplies.
-Expansion of jump event, now up to level 75 exp needed to level is halved!
-Adding VIP NPC that will let you trade a Spooky box for a vendable version at (161, 106)
-Hocus pocus skill changed to increase change of Monster Chant
-Added monsters to Monster Chant from Hocus Pocus: Angeling, Atroce, Chimera, Dark Illusion, Detardeurus, Deviling, Dragon Fly, Eclipse, Ghostring, Gryphon, Hydrolancer, Lady Tanee, Mastering, Maya Purple, Mutant Dragon, Toad, Vagabond Wolf, White Lady
-One thing that should be going in this week is a special Prontera NPC that we will be testing. She will buy Empty bottles for a higher price than you'd get by NPCing them. She keeps track of how many bottles have been sold to her and you will be able to buy those bottles from her. The amount of zeny she buys and sells the bottles for will be based on the number that have already been sold to her.
-On a similar note, for making it clear where things are in Prontera, I would like suggestions on an intersection name for the southern street crossing where the Experienced Man NPC is. Eventually I think it would be nice for Prontera to have named streets and signs.
October 16:
Must be first class or above to enter Eden group to curb spam novices invading that area, new players can access the duplicate Kafra NPCs in Prontera
Jump Event: Exp required to level for base level 1-60 has been halved, and job exp required for first class jobs up to level 50 reduced.

-Izlude PVP room set to properly display pre-Renewal version of the map.
