- A Zodiac Crown Box trader is in Payon. Trade any 2 Zodiac Crowns for 1 Zodica Crown Pack.
- WoE maps shifted around to hopefully help with latency.
updated the Kafra WoE helpers on all maps to offer Repair service (removed the repairman from those maps)
Price of Warps, repair and Inn are now the same as the towns.
WoE2 helpers also now have 1 kafra in front of each castle, they offer a warp to each of the castles on that realm to help movement.
WoE 2 offer a warp to Juno for when WoE is done. - Much of our efforts to help with WoE come down to a conclusion that lag happens when massive numbers of people switch map servers (not necessarily maps)
WoE bugs out when we have too many maps on 1 map server.
So a happy medium we have is both WoE2 maps are 1 map server
Valk and Brit are 1 map server, Greenwood and Lunia are 1 map server.
If you want to help lessen the lag for your alliance, SAVE on the map you are battling on if possible. If you want to Crush any WoE 2 castle just save using the WoE helpers on either Valfreyja or Nidhoggur - This supports heavily the idea of splitting WoE times, because you will always be on the same zone if you never have to criss cross from WoE 2 to 1.
