Hi there folks. Hope everyone had a nice weekend this er...weekend. We're making some convenience tweaks to the talk like a pirate day quest and returning two-monster TIs (but no level gaps this time). Everyone should be able to get teleported to the special TI maps now.

-First run of Lil' Angel Doll headgears will be added to eligible accounts Wednesday or Thursday.

-Boxter!

-Updated description of WoE suit to include set bonus
-Fix attempted for Vellum equip magic resistance

New Groove Pack
"Fall into the Groove Pack"
Always comes with a Bloody Dead Branch
Chance of getting one of the following:
-Knife Goblin Tame x4
-Battle Manual X3
-Safe to 7 All Pack
-Mystical Amp scroll x 15
-New item Autumn Leaves [1] upper headgear


Quests:
-Bug fixes for Back to School Event
-NPC will be added to let people who are wearing the Air Pirate's headband to recruit a Pengineer companion. The NPC will be in one of the bars in Prontera "Grampa Gala", who can summon the disguised engineer once every couple of hours.

Turn Ins:
70-100 Roween and Desert Wolf
101-125 Loli Ruri and Violy
126-150 Tatacho and Pom Spider

Ymir will give bonus exp/drops and be free to make characters, VIP will further enhance these benefits.

It's gonna be kind of hard for lower levels to get any parties with those ranges but hey, it's an improvement from the past two weeks... plus with the bug fixes, hopefully I'll be able to do some TIs without messing up my Back to School timer again.

Glad to see that quest is sticking around for another week, though.

Thanks for "fixing" the TI system.

I don't want to rain on the parade, but are you sure, though, that you want to maintain the 25 level differences? Unless you allow people that have 25 level differences to share, this might open some messy can of worms. Last time you did this, the lower level people complained, especially in the upper TI range.

Nice stuff, but any chance of Enriched Hammer coming back with Enriched Ori/Elu boxes :3?

Also what are the contents of the Groove Pack?

[Deathscythe876]

Yaays finally Ti's are back to normal...=D
So whats in the new groove packs?...=OO
And when's Eat Gear comin back as well??

[asayuu]

It's funny how people "complain" about a non-gap turnin saying the lowest ranges will have issues to get parties.

Surely they do, but everybody leveling is better~ no? hehe

So my conclusion about turnins "fix" means it is...

Groove pack post coming, I'll update the OP

I prefer to prevent drama, mind you, than trying to sort it out later, when you have a couple people at 145-150 and one person at 125 and you have to ask the 125 politely to leave, then 125 will throw some tantrums etc. Or, telling people that this won't be a share party, then the ABs will be pissed off, etc.

It happened last time they did this, and cleaning up this mess is not fun.

[johnnyz]

oda can you please add mystical amp scrolls to it? They haven't been placed in lucky boxes or groove pack for awhile now...

Hmm... this is gonna be fun to finagle together share range parties...

So, the brownie point reward box we get from Boxter is going to be the previous lucky box, right?

With that much of a gap you'd think there would be a problem with the EXP curve too. If someone on the low end of the range wasn't in range of the monster for the count, they'd only get about 40% EXP from kills, even less in a party.

[xFireize]

No enriched hammer?

[sniperkenny]

I will be switching from the top lv in 1st bracket to the very bottom of the second..100->101 Finding party is gonna be a difficulty .
Can you take 2 monsters at the same time? If not this is not a fix for me.. I don't have 2 hours to wait for parties.
Hopefully stuff from the new box will go for cheap. I need new product to sell/use

Boxter? Never used it before. what's the reward ?

Finally, i want my Lil angel doll

[IsisThump]

Can we get enriched hammer :3?

[kasshin]

The turn in system should be an improvement over the last 2 weeks, but I think the old system is still better overall. Though the old system did have 5 level gaps, which could be a good or a bad thing.

[johnnyz]

thanks a lot for putting amp scrolls in! haven't had those for awhile!

[SirDillhole]

Like some people have said ENRICHED please?

[Riakuta]

Lol who even cares about sharing exp during turn-in parties? I sure as hell don't . All that really matters is turning the exp in.

I take it that you never play an AB/string. Or, maybe Ygg is full of sunny people who love to hug and kiss each other, because in the most TI parties that I've been in, the first few minutes will always have people saying "share exp please."

I consider it a good thing. It was (to me anyway) to make sure you didn't forget how to grind.
