123.NarolAug 27, 2007The quest for the "zen" knights, Paladin and Dark Knight, is now available, entitled In Defiant Challenge. This quest appears in the quests log when the requirements are met for either zen knight. Be advised that there are multiple paths along this quest, and similarly multiple endings--not all endings are equal. Decisions should therefore be made "in character" and not without thought. Report all bugs, comments, questions, concerns, and constructive criticism to Narol.
122.NarolAug 25, 2007Attention Lancers and Dragoons: Your Jump and Lance skills no longer ignore defense. I apologize for any inconvenience. Report all bugs, comments, questions, concerns, and constructive criticism to Narol.
121.NarolAug 14, 2007An issue whereupon elemental attack up statuses would reduce instead of increase damage dealt if the target resists the element has been addressed. Report all bugs, comments, questions, concerns, and constructive criticism to Narol.
120.NarolAug 14, 2007The damage done by an Esper's Astral Flow is now affected by the target's total magic defense. This magic defense is calculated from equipment and/or base magic defense settings, their Willpower statistic, and their m_absorb_up status. Conversely, m_absorb_down will now increase Astral Flow damage. Report all bugs, comments, questions, concerns, and constructive criticism to Narol.
119.NarolAug 12, 2007Minor announcement: Changing primary or secondary class will now remove the Sneak, Hunt, and Hide skills' effects in addition to its existing feature of removing positive status effects. Report all bugs, comments, questions, concerns, and constructive criticism to Narol.
118.NarolAug 11, 2007The mobs in Daryl's Tomb have been adjusted. As the power level had been set too low for their experience and job point rewards, the mobs have consequently been made stronger. All "boss" mobs shall remain the same for now. Report all bugs, comments, questions, concerns, and constructive criticism to Narol.
117.NarolAug 8, 2007Evade and magic evade settings on equipment should now work as expected. This works both ways: Equipment you find that raises these stats will provide excellent defense against their respective offensive types, but mobs should start to evade attacks and spells more often as well. Report all bugs, comments, questions, concerns, and constructive criticism to Narol.
116.NarolAug 7, 2007SP poison and regen effects have been increased in potency. Report all bugs, comments, questions, concerns, and constructive criticism to Narol.
115.NarolAug 6, 2007Minor skill adjustments to the "zen" knights. Night Sword and Dark Sword have new messages. Sacred Slash now costs 75 SP, Peace now costs 35 SP, and Light Shield's SP cost was increased to 50 SP. The help file for Paladin has also been updated, as have the help files for all affected skills. Report all bugs, comments, questions, concerns, and constructive criticism to Narol.
114.CedusAug 6, 2007Defense formulas got tweaked a little. The same things go into the calculations as did before, just slightly differently. So, if you're noticing you're dealing/taking slightly different damage than you were before, that's why. (This was posted Jul 27, but it got duplicated somehow, and when I removed the duplicate, it cleared both. So, reposted.)
113.NarolAug 4, 2007The ancient golden scroll will now remove your death penalty instead of ineffectually trying to remove your experience debt. Despite that the death penalty change was around a year ago. Isn't bureaucracy grand? Report all bugs, comments, questions, concerns, and constructive criticism to Narol.
112.NarolAug 3, 2007The difficulty of the mobs in the Leafer Valley area has been adjusted. In general, this has taken the form of increasing their overall power and toughness. However, any "special" mobs are now significantly stronger than before. Report all bugs, comments, questions, concerns, and constructive criticism to Narol.
111.NarolJul 24, 2007There's now an official help file listing rewards for levelling: help levelrewards
110.NarolJul 21, 2007Official rules regarding spoilers have been added. Read 'help spoilers' for details.
109.CedusJul 3, 2007Berserker got redone. Enjoy, comments to Cedus, etc.
108.NarolJul 1, 2007Attention all Beast Men: The Rage ability (as well as Leap) is now in the game. It's functionally more or less the same as in FF6, with a few additions that should prove quite interesting. If you don't already have Beast Man, a miniquest has been introduced which will allow you to gain the class (being a miniquest, it doesn't show up on the quests list, but use your imagination). Report all bugs, comments, questions, concerns, and constructive criticism to Narol.
107.NarolJun 30, 2007Ebot's Rock will now give its quest completion tag upon completing it. Anyone who's completed it previously should speak to an Esper for the quest tag.
106.NarolJun 26, 2007The quests command now accepts an additional two arguments. Typing "quests -complete" will show you the list of quests which you have completed, and typing "quests -incomplete" will show you the list of quests available to you which you have not completed. Report all bugs, comments, questions, concerns, and constructive criticism to Narol.
105.CedusJun 18, 2007Knightswords now auto-twohands. This is good news for people too lazy to rewield their knightswords twohanded on login. This is bad news for people who used a knightsword with a shield ever.
104.NarolJun 18, 2007Paladin and Dark Knight skill lists have been adjusted. Of note are the returning abilities Pierce and Lightshield, along with the new Paladin ability Rampart. All relevant information for each of these abilities is available in their help files. Report all bugs, comments, questions, concerns, and constructive criticism to Narol.
103.NarolJun 15, 2007The Ninja quest (named "A Shady Deal") now has documentation and official quest support added to it. Details are accessible under your quests list if you meet the requirements for the class itself. Players who have already completed this quest should speak to an Esper and receive credit for completion retroactively. Report all bugs, comments, questions, concerns, and constructive criticism to Narol.
102.CedusJun 13, 2007Rogue: the redundant Steal got removed, and Mug and Ambush got bumped down to cl25 and 50 respectively. Enjoy not having to clevel past the TH/Ninja reqs now.
101.NarolJun 8, 2007The difficulty of the Dragoon quest has been adjusted. It should now be easier to complete and present a more balanced challenge overall. Report all bugs, comments, questions, concerns, and constructive criticism to Narol.
100.CedusJun 6, 2007Magic defense (that isn't from m_absorb_up) works now, and can be acquired from equipment, plus an innate bonus from your willpower. This applies to mobs too.
99.CedusJun 1, 2007Twohands got bumped from Squire 60 to Fighter 25, with the result that Fighter, Lancer, and Brawler can now twohands their weapons.
