Nice catch Ricxtov.
I won't quote you because God knows how large is that.
We already have the Yggdrasil Crown right? correct me if I am wrong.
and the new gears seems to be made just for leveling.

It was from the most recent anniversary event, yes.

[Rutana]

It was also created by Chienna and is a winner of the Headgear Contest from Febuary.

hahaha..
the MVP is called Bakonawa

Wondering about the MVP monster here? The gigantic Bakunawa who might be as large as Satan Morroc is a mythical creature who was believed the cause of eclipses by swallowing the moon. The creature's power is not yet confirmed, but I think with that size, you'll need to have lots of guildsmen to defeat it.

Good one!

Buwaya: A crocodile with a treasure box on it's back...

Cute, like the Buwayas in Manila, yup those corrupted law enforcers known by the same name. Nice pun. Wonder if there are filipinos within Gravity.

[ayyien92]

buwaya(tagalog) = buaya(malay) sounds the same

[frankSG07]

ROFLMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO at the monster names LOLOLOL

I suggest you non-filipino speakers google translate those names. The sprites are actually accurate. Good job on that kRO. lol

Sandara is their translator you know. lol

I wonder if they can add manny pacquiao as an MVP! lol

Edit:
oh wait, maybe an event about manny being injured and would need your help to go on a quest and kill an MVP named "MoneyMan"

[zakame]

LOL Jejeling... almost like Pori Pori, yes? With only 10k jellopy as MVP drop jejeje

There also should be nuno sa punso and dwende who are passive assists and cast status spells (Filipino folklore has them cursing people who disturb/aggro them

Seriously though, I can't wait to see that map hit our servers soon.

[gerpogi]

BWUAHAHAHAH!! KAKATAWA!!!!

==================================

I don't think so. Godzilla is a japanese monster. Someone earlier said that it's based on a giant creature that eats the sun in Phillipino folklore.

It was a story being told to filipino children to explain what happens during an Eclipse. Bakunawa is basically a water dragon capable of swallowing the moon. In the story, there used to be 7 moons created by Bathala (or the creator, the supreme being). The Bakunawa ate 6 of the moons. During eclipses, ancient filipinos would go out of their homes and make lots noise to scare the Bakunawa and prevent it from swallowing the last remaining moon.

Bakunawa is usually depicted as a traditional chinese dragon, kinda like Shen Long from Akira Toriyama's Dragon Ball series.

I love hearing about all of the real folklore inspirations behind these monsters.

[Chorvaqueen]

This is interesting.

You need to sound off gongs to beat Bakunawa/Bakonawa

This is from the official pRO Sakray page:

Paglalakbay ni GM Vasiloz and friends sa Port Malaya
BAKONAWA MVP QUEST : Ang pag-gawa ng ingay para lumabas ulit si Bakunawa sa Taal Lake (Phase 2)
Note: Based sa folklore ni Bakonawa, ginagawa ng mga villagers ay kalampagin ang mga pangkusina or gong para makalikha ng ingay na nagigigng dahilan para iluwa ni Bakonawa ang Moon.
Goodluck nga lang sa time limit, kase two sets ng gong ang need kalampagin. Plus endless Meteor Shower pa sa gitnang part )

The adventure of GM Vasiloz and friends to Port Malaya

BAKONAWA MVP QUEST: Make noise to summon Bakunawa again from Taal Lake (Phase 2)

Note: Based on Bakonawa's folklore, the villagers make noises from clashing kitchen utensils or gongs to force Bakonawa spit out the moon.

Good luck though on the time limit, 'coz you need to sound off two gongs plus Bakonawa spams Meteor Shower (lol, isn't this Meteor Storm?) on the middle part.

more testing stuff.

lol vantai (guard)

[Chigikogou]

What the... Port Malaya = most advanced technology *as of the current game era*
Has jeep?

Also, vantai (wrongly spelt version of "bantay" which means "A guard/one who guards or protects")
Bantay is a common name for a dog.

buwaya(tagalog) = buaya(malay) sounds the same

Buwaya (Tagalog) = Buaya (Indonesian)

Don't be amazed, Philippine's native roots came from Malays and Indonese.
The language "Filipino" in the Tagalog dialect's vocabulary is composed of different words from Malaysia, Indonesia, Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, English, American English, Indian ..
So yeah, sums that up.
