Dungeons can possibly spawn completely closed off areas, which have a chance to spawn monsters inside them.

While I've only witnessed this once due to a teleport trap sending my party into it, it's worth noting now that full clears are encouraged.

After clearing a crazy-spacey dungeon in its entirety, I only ended up getting the partial reward.

I even double checked, and there were no monsters, the only thing still around was an Assassin NPC.

Then I did another, prefixless dungeon (a Whirpool, level 5), and...again, only got the partial reward, despite looking in every accessible area I could.

Im thinking the 'full' reward is bugged, or at least whatever variables it's using are.

EDIT: People seem to be claiming they can get it. I think both these incidents were due to the other bug I reported.

The new ten star dagger does not apply any levels of fray. I hit a player and an NPC in the back with 0 upgrades and 3 upgrades (should be fray level 1 and level 2 respectively), but the status was not inflicted. The defense of the target is not lowered either, so it simply does not appear to be working.

I can't tell if it's from a specific circumstance or not, but damage absorbed by Know No Pain does not add to the Matador's Rage Energy.

Well, here we are. Do you know what number is greater than 9? 10. 9 also happens to be the currently highest rarity of item... until now. I've been working on, well, planning the next series of updates over the course of a few months. I am introducing, for your hunting pleasure, 10* equipment items. These are a bit more unique than existing items for reasons that will be elaborated in the notes below.

Currently, there are 5 new ones. These all drop from the bandits. Every week, I will add items for another dungeon group (there are 8 total, so most likely, 8 weeks worth), and in total, we'll have 42 new equipment items for 10* rarity. There will also be some other stuff added!

1.33
10* Equipment - The addition of 10* equipment has begun. This will take place over several updates.

• 10* equipment is dropped by a specific enemy that is level 61 or higher. The higher the level, the higher the chance. (Be warned; the chance is relatively small, slightly rarer than 9* items.)
  
• 10* equipment requires a new crafting material called Raremetal Shards to be upgraded. You can obtain this material by breaking down items with a rarity of 8* or higher (the higher the rarity, the more you can obtain.)
  
• 10* equipment have unique, powerful effects... Discover the rest yourself! (For now, at least...)
  
• All of the items added in this update are dropped by Bandits.

• Minor visual improvements to the walls.
  
• Can now spawn several special rooms, such as weapons storage, stolen goods cache (which you can search for stolen goods in), prison cells, etc.
  
• Bandits now gain stronger potions the higher level they are instead of always having Stabilizers.

• Battle quick bars and item belts can now hold up to 10 pages.
  
• You can change through the pages by clicking the up and down arrows now displayed next to these interfaces.
  
• You can also use the Shift+Up and Shift+Down (for battle bars) and - and = (for utility belt; the shift+direction functionality is already taken by directional facing) macros to change the pages. (Up/down function exactly as if you'd clicked the arrow of the same direction.)
  
• Classes with tons of active skills such as Magic Gunner, Demon Hunter, and Mage classes will benefit the most from these changes!

• A 'cleared' dungeon floor is a dungeon floor without any monsters in it.
  
• You earn rewards after defeating the core boss. You cannot retroactively earn clear bonuses if you clear floors after defeating the boss.
  
• Partial Clear Bonus - For every dungeon floor cleared, gain an additional (Dungeon Level * 10) Experience Points and (Dungeon Level * 1) Murai. (Does not stack with Full Clear Bonus)
  
• Full Clear Bonus - If all floors in the dungeon are cleared of monsters, for each floor, gain an additional (Dungeon Level * 500) Experience Points. You will also gain (Dungeon Level * 10) Murai; note that the Murai does not get multiplied per floor.
  
• Important: You can only gain clear rewards if you participated in a normal battle within the dungeon. Therefore, people who came afterwards to clear the core, or alts you bring to a cleared dungeon afterwards cannot earn the bonus!
  
• Lastly: Since you must clear the core floor in order to defeat the boss, you will always earn at least a Partial Clear Bonus (assuming you won a normal battle first).

• All items can now give materials when broken down. If there is no material present on the item, it will default to the basic types.
  
• The 'possible yield' now shows how many of a material you can get instead of just x1. (For example, you can get x1 to x4 with an 8* item.)

• Base Power is now 22 (from 25).
  
• Base Accuracy is now 55 (from 50).
  
• Base Weight is now 20 (from 15).
  
• Rarity is now 9 (from 6).

The Issue: Evasion triggers against the pierce damage from Poison Bite. This is not right. The bite can miss. It's not an autohit.

Theory: Poison Bite does not trigger on-hit effects due to not using the weapon. As such, it likely falls under the same Jurisdiction that Mad Chop used to. However, I've also missed bites when my weapon hit was over 100%, so poison bite likely has it's own base accuracy, unaffected by weapon.

Can you add a verb to manually toggle the typing indicator/does one already exist?

This would mostly be useful for people that use macros to bring up say/emote/etc (like me).

So I set a few macros to be able to use the emotion bubbles easier in combat, but Ctrl+R seems to be the only one that doesn't work, and setting it to a different key works fine.
Is that some secret Dev macro for a battle debug option, or what?

I've spent the last few days trying to think of ways to stop the so-called "omni-classing" that's been rising in popularity lately.

Now, using every class is a bit of an exaggeration, obviously - but it's more accurate than you might think, with people frequently swapping between six to ten different promoted classes in the span of an hour or two, depending on their opponent.. leading to their opponents doing the same to keep up with them, and so on.

In the past, there was talk of 'tokens' that had to be used to unlock class promotions - a limit on how many classes you could get, essentially - but I believe that idea was generally disliked as it was too restrictive and would be far too punishing to players that changed their minds down the line.


After some careful thought and discussion, I came up with an idea that I believe would be fair: Adding a cap on total SP spent towards promoted classes.

The way it would work is simple:

Hello hello. I AM FERN.


Actually getting on topic now. Here's a tutorial for all your recoloring needs.

I'll be using the GIMP program for this. You can download it at: http://www.gimp.org/downloads/


This is the image we'll be playing with today.
