      @Arrack i See that you got already two items with DSR, it's good for sure you should get full DSR set for early/mid game, dont fear of getting some Agility early as SM to get more DEF/Rate so you will be able to survive on better spots. I see you are using Platina Staff which probably costed you a lot of stats for 0 reset, might be better to get some lower tier Staff and put the stats into agi/vit/ene. I would also recommend to find for some ppl to make party (with about your level not to get into GAP). You can try to find some DSR item for 1b or 1s on Web Market. For zen i recommend to pick all Hearts/Medals and sell the dropped items to NPC same with items +3/4+Option (sometimes they are worth a lot of zen). These are the basiscs of how to survive early on better spots. If you would need any further assistance please reach me here on forum or in-game.

      Gion reacted to ADMIN in Arena Tournament V3 - Public Test 06.11.2021   
      Hello,
      We've reworked most of the Arena Tournament once again, keeping only the Last-Laugh round *almost* intact.
      The idea of rework was to highly reduce the possibility of Anti-Game (teaming, selective killing, etc.).
      While it's impossible to totally remove the possibility of Anti-Game, outside of 1v1 events, we highly believe that this current iteration is more fair for everyone (and who knows, maybe even more fun).
      In order to make sure everything works fine (especially on high number of participants) & in order to gather more feedback & suggestions from you, we're organizing a Public Test Event for the new Arena Tournament.
      It will take place on this Saturday, at around 19:00 Server Time, on our Public Test Server.
      Anyone is welcomed, you can build your characters as you want in our Test Server for this Event, but please try to avoid creating "immortal" characters, for the sake of the tests.
      Just make sure to have your character online and ready to join the AT at that hour, on Test Server.
      Note: Before & during the Test, the maximum clients you can have open is 5 (but official server still have 2 acc/ip limit, server-side).
      This means you can leave your official characters online on main server, during the test, so you don't really lose anything.
      We're also putting up rewards for this Test event:
      Every event bug found & reported (that can be fixed, ofc., and that's Event-related) grants you 1x JoH and 1x Chaos (in official server). Every suggestion/improvement that is accepted and implemented (Event-related) grants you 1x JoH and 1x Chaos (in official server). Note: Only the 1st player to report / suggest the same thing is rewarded. This topic remains open for discussions / feedback / reports / suggestions.
      Note: Info can be changed / adjusted until the official release. If everything goes well, we plan to release it for official server on Monday.
      Later Edit: If you want to come on Saturday please confirm in this topic, so we can have an idea of how many more players do we need (ideally, we want to hit the 60 players limit on the test).

      Arena Tournament V3 - official info:
       
      Arena Tournament V3 - Most complex PvP Event
       
      General Info
      Arena Tournament features 7 different rounds, each round taking place 1 time per week, at 19:45 Server Time. There are 2 different Event Types: Team-KotH - Kings of the Hill & LL - Last Laugh. Team-KotH have 2 different Specials, more info below. In order to register to Arena Tournament you must type /joinarena when the event is popping (and before it gets closed). After the event is closed, it will start in 1 minute. You can't attack other players before the event does start. Maximum 60 players (Team-KotH) / 36 players (LL). Minimum 20 players (Team-KotH) / 12 players (LL) in order for the event to start. Maximum duration is 20 minutes for Team-KotH. No maximum duration for LL. Teleport (SM) & Ice Arrow (AE) can be used only during the Team-KotH rounds. After every death, you are immune to magic damage for 5 seconds (after you respawn). You can't join while being in a party. If you join a party anytime during the event both chars will be stunned while they are in party and for 15 seconds after they leave it. You can't join the event with antidotes / sd pots. Any consumables buff (bless/soul pots, doppel scrolls, halloween, etc.) are deleted every second during the tournament. You get a full clear off existing buffs when you enter the tournament. You can't have other buffs outside of your own class buffs during the tournament. You can't move items (for example from store) during the tournament. You can't trade items during the tournament. You are Muted during the tournament. You can't drop items during the tournament. You can't move to other maps during the tournament. You get PK Stage 2 during the tournament (to use only right click to attack, without CTRL). At the end of the tournament you get back to your previous pk level / pk kills / pk timer. Info about Team-KotH (Kings of the Hill)
      The schedule for Kings of the Hill is the following: Monday - Team-KotH Special 1. Tuesday - Team-KotH Special 1. Wednesday - Team-KotH Special 2. Thursday - Team-KotH Special 1. Friday - Team-KotH Special 1. Saturday - Team-KotH Special 2. Instead of having different rounds of LMS & KotH, as well as 3 different specials on both of them, we now have only 1 game-mode (Team-KotH with LMS round for deciding winners) and 2 specials. How does this new game-mode works? Well, on every round, we randomly split the registered players from the Event in teams (each team having its own visual skin). Based on total players of an event, we start with 4 randomly made teams (5v5v5v5,6v6v6v6, etc. up to 15v15v15v15). In case there are uneven numbers, we can have like 5v6v6v5, and so on. Every 4 minutes, one team is eliminated, and the rest of players are split again in new teams. Example: Round 1 is starting with 4 teams. After 4 minutes, the team with least Points is eliminated. Remaining players are randomly split again in 3 new teams, and so on, until 1 team remains alive. After each team elimination, teams points are reset to 0. Players keep their own personal points, though. You're earning 10 points for your team whenever you kill a player from another team. The 2nd time you kill the same character (in the same teams-round) you will earn 8 points, 3rd time 6 points, and so on until you'll get only 2 points for killing the same character (and the value will stay at 2 points, no longer decreasing). Your team is losing 3 points for each of your deaths. You can't attack players from your own team. After 3 rounds of Team-KotH, all players from the team left alive does enter the LMS round (last round): In this round, everyone plays for himself (FFA). The winners of the Arena Tournament are the last to remain alive. Everyone starts with 4 lives. Killing a player does remove 1 life from him. For every 3 lives taken you gain an extra life. If you reach 0 lives, you are eliminated. You can also take only x lives from the same player as following: If there are >= 12 players remaining in the LMS round, you can only take 1 life from the same player. If there are 9-11 players remaining in the LMS round, you can only take 2 lives from the same player. If there are 6-8 players remaining  in the LMS round, you can only take 3 lives from the same player. If there are <= 5 players remaining in the LMS round, there is no restriction. Amount of winners per Event are also based on the total number of registered players on Arena Tournament: Starting players >= 20 <= 28 => 3 winners. Starting players > 28 <= 36 => 4 winners. Starting players > 36 <= 44 => 5 winners.  Starting players > 44 => 6 winners. If the event isn't over before its maximum duration, then the remaining players will be selected as winners based on their total points contribution during Team-KotH stage. Note: Winners can't join other tournaments from the week, outside of the Last Laugh (that is available only for weekly winners). Note2: Due to the new nature of Team-KotH, disconnecting during the event / leaving the event after it already started will ban you from Arena Tournament for 5 days. This is only for disconnecting during Team-KotH rounds (Last Laugh / LMS rounds are excluded). Specials: 1 - Normal -> Everyone plays with the characters as they are. Note: In order to join any of the Arena Tournament - Special 1 events (Normal), your character must have at least 50% Resets (rounded down) of the TOP1 character. Example: If TOP1 character has 15 resets, only characters over 7 resets can join Arena Tournament. 2 - Free STATS -> Everyone receive the same level and the same amount of stats, based on a randomly picked reset stats (for everyone) and their class. Note: The randomly picked reset stats can be between 2 resets and 20 resets (like on IT). Note2: Everyone is set to level 200. Note3: Special 2 is free for all (doesn't matter your character reset). Info about LL (Last Laugh)
      Last Laugh is the final Tournament, where the prizes from the current week are also given. Last Laugh is held on Sunday. Only winners of Team-KotH from that week can join the Last Laugh. If you have lower reset than the highest reset player from the LL, you will receive extra stat points to add for the tournament based on the difference of resets between you and highest reset player, and also based on your class. The points are added when the Arena is closed, so you have 1 minute to use them. Everyone is set to level 200 during LL. There is no settled duration for the LL but there are 3 rounds: Round1: LMS Round During this round you need to eliminate players while surviving. The round is over when there are X amount of players left in the Tournament, as following: If there are more than 30 participants, Round1 is over when there are 20 players left. If there are more than 26 participants, Round1 is over when there are 18 players left. If there are more than 22 participants, Round1 is over when there are 16 players left. If there are more than 18 participants, Round1 is over when there are 14 players left. If there are more than 14 participants, Round1 is over when there are 12 players left. If there are more than 12 participants, Round1 is over when there are 10 players left. Everyone starts with 6 lives. Killing a player does remove 1 life from him. For every 4 lives taken you gain an extra life. If you reach 0 lives, you are eliminated. You can also take only x lives from the same player as following: If there are >= 24 players remaining in the LMS round, you can only take 1 life from the same player. If there are < 24 players remaining in the LMS round, you can only take 2 lives from the same player. Round2: KotH Round During this round you need to farm as many Points as possible within 10 minutes. You're earning 10 points whenever you kill a player. The 2nd time you kill the same character you will earn 9 points, 3rd time 8 points, and so on until you'll get only 2 points for killing the same character (and the value will stay at 2 points, no longer decreasing). You're losing 2 + 8% of your current points for each of your deaths. Example: If you have 120 points, if you die you lose 2 + 10 (8% of 120, rounded) = 12 points. After 10 minutes, TOP8 characters with most Points will be qualified for the last round (3), the rest of players being eliminated. Round3: Last Laugh - Final Round A virtual bracket will be generated for the 8 players left, it will be based on the Points gathered during round 2 as following: TOP1 points will play vs TOP8 points. TOP3 points will play vs TOP6 points. TOP4 points will play vs TOP5 points. TOP2 points will play vs TOP7 points. Then each character will be moved to a different Arena cage where the matches are being played.  In cages you are playing 1v1 with your opponent. Both chars start as "chained" and the game is starting in 5 seconds. The first character to kill the other for 2 times will advance in the bracket (Best of 3). You do receive a clear of all buffs/effects after a kill and you start from different corners again. SD is not restored during the match. After winning a match you advance in bracket and either wait or face your next opponent from Winner bracket. After winning/losing a game you will be redirected to a new cage. After each finished game, if your SD is not full, you will receive a Complex Potion that you can use ONLY before the start of the next game, to restore your SD to full. You need to be fast! Players that lose in the Winner bracket are being sent into Loser bracket where they face other bracket losers. Games on Loser bracket are the same as on Winner bracket (Best out of 3). If you lose a game on Loser bracket you are eliminated from the Tournament, if you win you advance in the Loser bracket up until Grand Finals. Grand Finals are BO5 (Best out of 5). Rewards System
      There are 3 types of rewards that Arena Tournament is offering: Participation reward Everyone that does participate at an Arena Tournament event (except of Last Laugh round) will receive a Gladiator's Pride buff. Note: Leaving the event or disconnecting during the event before it is over or before you are eliminated won't grant you the buff! Gladiator's Pride will increase the NORMAL bonus EXPERIENCE granted by the Mercenary Squad Seal with +20%. Gladiator's Pride will increase the MASTER bonus EXPERIENCE granted by the Mercenary Squad Seal with +14%. Example: Your current Mercenary Seal does grant you +5% NORMAL EXP, if you get Gladiator's Pride, the buff is raised from +5% to +25%. Example2: Your current Mercenary Seal does grant you +6% MASTER EXP, if you get Gladiator's Pride, the buff is raised from +6% to +20%. The duration for the Gladiator's Pride is based on your event performance and it does work in all places where the Mercenary Seal does work as well: Duration: 2 hours if you are eliminated after 1st Team-KotH round. Duration: 2.5 hours if you are eliminated after 2nd Team-KotH round. Duration: 3 hours if you are eliminated after 3rd Team-KotH round. Duration: 4 hours if you are eliminated during 4th Team-KotH round (LMS round). Note: Because winners from each day aren't able to participate to the rest of the Arenas from that week, being part of the winners of an Arena will grant you access to Gladiator's Pride buff every day starting from the day you've won the Arena up until the Saturday's Arena (included). This means that if you will be ONLINE on normal maps (Server 1) every day at the start of the Arena Tournament you will get 4 hours of Gladiator's Pride as if you were a participant in the last Team-KotH round. Note2: Not being online and on normal maps (Server 1) when Arena Tournament does start won't grant you the buff! Weekly win reward The winners (and only the winners) from each Arena Tournament round will win access to the Sunday's round (Last Laugh). The Last Laugh does also have a separate guaranteed reward for the participants (as long as you just join the Event and you stay until it is over / you are eliminated). Current Last Laugh guaranteed reward is: 5x Jewel of Harmony. Note: Leaving the event or disconnecting during the event before it is over or before you are eliminated won't grant you the guaranteed reward! Last Laugh performance reward Based on your performance at Last Laugh, the following rewards will be given: +1 Jewel of Chaos for every 2 players that are eliminated from the Tournament before you. Example: If there are 30 participants at Last Laugh, the 30th place will win extra 0x Jewel of Chaos, 26th place will win extra 2x Jewel of Chaos, 12th place will win extra 9x Jewel of Chaos, etc. Note: Leaving the event or disconnecting during the event before it is over or before you are eliminated won't grant you the performance reward! TOP3 extra rewards: Winner of Last Laugh: 1x Golden Fenrir with 5 days duration, 1x HoF + Legends Group (forum) + 3x Piece of Horn. Note: The Legends Group is active only for the duration of the edition, not permanent. Note2: Winning 3x Arenas during the edition will grant you permanent Legends Group. 2nd place of Last Laugh: 1x HoF + 2x Piece of Horn. 3rd place of Last Laugh: 1x HoF + 1x Piece of Horn. Final example of Last Laugh winner full reward (with an example of 30 participants): 5x Jewel of Harmony (guaranteed reward) + 14x Jewel of Chaos (performance reward) + 1x HoF (TOP3 reward) + 5 days Golden Fenrir + Legends Group (forum) & 3x Piece of Horn (TOP1 reward). If you get disqualified or if you get disconnected from LL round you'll win half of the consolation prize (+1 if it is not an even number). Example: If the current consolation reward is 5x JoH, if you get disqualified / disconnected from LL you'll still get 3x JoH. Note: This is not applied to performance reward, you'll lose it entirely. Note2: In the disconnect case, you'll receive your *half* reward in Jewel Wallet instead of character inventory (as it is disconnected) - it will also send you a notification on web.

      Gion reacted to Phantomel in [Guide] Yellow/JoH Options - SD Reduction, SD Bypass, SD Ratio increase   
      Hello fellow OldSquaders!

      I have decided to make a guide about Yellow options you can put on excellent weapons and armor and share my knowledge with you.

      What do these options do and how do they help you in PvP?
       
       As you all might or might not know, the most important thing in PvP is considered to be the SD. What is SD, how do we increase it and how does it work in PvP?
      -SD is represented by the yellow bar that is near our HP pool. It can be increased directly by our stats(The more resets and stats you have, the more your SD increases).
      -In PvP by default, when you receive damage, 90% of it goes into your SD, and 10% goes into HP. When you run out of SD, all the damage goes directly into HP.
      Keep in mind that if you don't have a sturdy HP pool you might die even if you have SD left, so try to get a good amount of HP so you don't die before your SD pool depletes.
      Also there are some hidden mechanics of the game hidden behind SD, but I will speak about them later.
       
      Now let's see how yellow options can help your character in PvP
      I will start with SD Ratio Increase(One of the two yellow options viable on high reset/high stat servers). How does it work and where/why should you use it.
      -Keep in mind that currently, on OldSquad, you can have up to a maximum of +3 SD Ratio increase on set pieces and shield instead of +5 as it was by default.
      SD Ratio increase is the counterpart of SD Reduction rate on weapon(Basically they counter each other)
      Earlier I've said that 90% of the damage goes into your SD pool and 10% into your HP. What this option do is, it increases the SD Absorbtion beyond 90% of the default one. So basically, If I equip one set piece that has SD Ratio increase, I will receive 93% of the damage into my SD pool and only 7% into HP.
      Now, if I manage to get SD Ratio increase on 4 pieces, it means that all the damage I will take will go into SD, leaving my HP unharmed. Why is this such a huge thing?
      Remember when I said about the hidden game mechanic behind SD? Basically, when your characters suffer HP damage, your character have a chance of getting a stutter, being unable to attack/use skills for a brief time. For BK for example(but not only), that stutter can make a huge mess as it can be the difference between a succesfully done combo and a failed one. A failed combo means that you lose a huge amount of damage which can be decisive in a duel.
      So, the main reason of using SD Ratio increase is the fact that if we manage to get 100% SD Absorbtion, it prevents our hp pool from taking damage, which translates into being able to dish massive amounts of damage in a short time by having uninterrupted attacks because we get rid of that stutter.
      However, compared to Damage Decrement Increase it does NOT reduce the damage you take.
      This option is especially good if you have lots of SD potions on your hand so you can replenish your SD pool(Basically use SD pots instead of HP pots)
      There are other ways to prevent the animation stutter effect as well.
      Horn of Uniria, Horn of Dinorant, Horn of Fenrir and Dark horse will prevent you from get stuttered in PvP as well, however, the Dark Horse is available only for DL, the Fenrir is pretty hard to get and the other 2 get destroyed very fast in PvP. Also keep in mind that BK can NOT use cyclone and VRF can NOT use Chain Drive(Main PvP skills), so SD Ratio increase is the only viable way for them to get rid of the stutter effect.
      However, this option can be countered very easily with SD reduction rate and SD Bypass options, and because the option is currently nerfed down(You need 4 items to reach 100% instead of 2), I would say that it is not a viable option, or it can be very situational at most(For BK's for example, that are not able to equip a pet, and only when they fight enemies that dont have SD Decrease ratio on weapon, so basicly just in duels).
       
      Next, I will speak about SD Reduction rate % and how does it work in PvP
       
      As I said before, SD Reduction Rate is the opposite of SD Ratio increase - so, the damage absorbed by the opponent's shield in PvP translates into HP damage according to the value of SD Reduction Rate that you have. For example, if you have SD Reduction Rate 10%, your opponent will take 80% damage into SD and 20% damage into HP.
      Considering that you can get 13% Maximum ammount of SD Reduction rate on Staff, the maximum SD Reduction Rate you can get is 26% - Which translates into 64% SD/36% HP damage done.
      This option is especially powerful on high attack speed characters and very effective against characters that have a low HP buff, therefore being prone to dying before their SD runs out.
      However, I will advise you to NOT use this option against high hp pool characters such as VRF or BK, since them having huge HP pools translates into them surviving even longer in PvP. Why do I say this?
      BK and VRF are probably the only characters that can survive a good amount of time even if they run out of SD. So basically how you want to play against them is drain their SD to 0 very fast and burst them down directly into HP pool. This option does exactly the opposite therefore it makes them survive longer(Less damage into their SD - They sustain their HP pool with HP pots anyway - They live longer).
       
      Last, but not least, probably the crowned king of yellow options in PvP(at least on high stats server), SD Bypass, or SD Ignore Rate
      SD Bypass grants each attack a chance to completely Ignore the opponent's SD and deal full damage to their health.So, if your weapon has SD Bypass 10% - You will have 10% chance for each hit to translate directly into HP, which deals huge damage. In short, this yellow option is RNG dependant, but considering that on high stats servers you have very fast attack speed, it means that this will proc a lot.
      **SD Bypass DOES work with reflect option - So if you have a set item with Reflect option equiped, that reflect also has a chance to benefit from the Bypass you have on weapon.
      This yellow option is viable and good on all classes, but especially benefit the classes with high burst damage on one hit(Such as BK combo, DL Horse, SM Nova) because they actually have chances of one shotting people.
      This option is much better when PvP-ing against high HP targets, but as I described the matter earlier for SD Reduction, this one can be problematic against BK and VRF as well - If you're not lucky enough to hit bypass after bypass, they will sustain their HP pool and their SD will drop even lower(The bypass hits do no damage to SD pool), so they will live even longer than if you would have SD Decr.
      The safest choice - especially if you are a 1 weapon class as DL is, is by far SD Bypass, while MG/Summ can also chose to use 2 SD Reduction weapons because they have huge burst and can kill others before their SD drains even without bypass.
       
      For set pieces, there are more situations:
      -For CS, you will chose Damage decrement increase every time - Since 99% of CS you will have 0 SD anyway and the SD Ratio increase option will do nothing for you.
      -For BK's especially, in 1v1's, go SD Ratio increase if the opponent has no Bypass or Reduction, that will translate into smooth, uninterrupted combos which almost every time means you will win.
      Mainly, in most of the cases, DDI is the best choice by far for all classes, but SD ratio increase can situationally be very very good
       
      Thank you for reading, and I hope you got the chance to learn something
      Best regards,
      Phantomel

      Changelog:

[UPDATED] In order to be eligible for Gens Rewards, you need to have at least 50 Raid Kills, during the 15 days of a Gens Season, no matter your total points or rank, else you won't be registered for rewards and your rank spot will be given to another player for the rewards. [ADDED] Handicap advantage for Gens Families: Based on total number differences of Gens, the gens family with lower number of players will have higher number of total rewards.  Example: If by default there are 30 rewards for Vanert and 30 rewards for Duprian, now based on difference of total players there can be 20-30 rewards for the higher populated gens and 30-40 rewards for the lower populated gens (total number of rewards will always be 60, as default). Note: Only TOP 500 characters part of Gens are counted for Gens proportions. Handicap intervals: If Difference <= 6% (interval of 50-53% players for one gens or another): 30 Rewards - 30 Rewards (both families getting same amount of rewards). If Difference > 6% and Difference <= 12% (interval of 54-56% players for one family or another): 28 Rewards for higher population Family - 32 Rewards for the lower population Family. If difference > 12% and Difference <= 18% (interval of 57-59% players for one family or another): 26 Rewards for higher population Family - 34 Rewards for the lower population Family.

If Difference > 30% (66%+ players for one family or another): 20 Rewards for higher population Family - 40 Rewards for the lower population Family. [UPDATED] Released Mercenary Squad. You can write /registerpvp to join it. Note: You need at least 3 resets to join the Squad. Note2: When your target is in a higher map than your level, you can use /qwarp. [UPDATED] Released Illusion Temple 1, 2, 3 & IT Ticket in drop. Note: Current Stats in IT: Default 500/500/500/500 + 300 command (DL) & extra 2-10rr points, based on class, random.  [ADDED] New rule related to IT Anti-Game: You can now also report IT anti-game by creating a report on forum, apart from the /warn and the automated punishments. We only accept reports where the IT anti-game can be seen clearly, and only VIDEO reports, screenshots aren't accepted. Punishment for manual IT reports is 14 days ban from IT on account & ip. [UPDATED] Now /entries will also show you the minimum level you need for the next BC/DS invitation level. [UPDATED] Market Tax is now 1kk Zen. [UPDATED] Restriction to Vote is now minimum 2 resets. [FIXED] Excellent shields not dropping with HP option (somehow HP was shared with ZEN as option, so by disabling zen option they were both disabled). Note: This fix is up since few days ago. [UPDATED] Summon skill (DL) is now disabled in Lost Tower and Devias while Death King is alive. [UPDATED] You can no longer have extra buffs (outside of your own class buffs) in 15x15 range of Death King. [UPDATED] Death King HP buffed. [UPDATED] Now Death King enrage damage is dynamic: Formula: 1800 extra damage + 150 damage per character in his 15x15 range. Example: If there are 10 players in his 15x15 range, the enrage damage is 1800+1500 = 3300 damage. [ADDED] Warehouse (NPC) in Aida 1. Note: It is up since few days ago. [FIXED] Elves not being able to use other weapons (outside of Bows/Crossbows) during Skeletons Invasion. Note: This fix is up since few days ago. [FIXED] Wings ignore check during Skeletons Invasion not working in some cases. Note: This fix is up since few days ago. [UPDATED] Now during skeletons invasion you can't have ignore from ancients (if you have the ignore option active from the ancient set you'll have to put items off until it is disabled). [ADDED] Custom Zen System. Normal monsters from the game will no longer "drop" the zen on the floor, instead, the Zen system is replaced from scratch: While leveling you will have a 12%~30% chance of getting Zen after killing (last-hit) a monster. The Zen will go directly into your Inventory (without you picking anything) and will still notice you on system like it does for the normal zen ("XX Zen Obtained"). There is a basic value (minimum value per map) and a dynamic value based on the monster level you kill (higher the level of monster, higher the zen) as well as Zen penalty based on the difference of your own level vs map level. The EXP you take does no longer matter, neither who does the "last-hit" of the monster. All Zen is now linear and it is calculated for every character. Based on this concept and core, we can add a lot of interesting things (different extra bonuses based on events, gens, mercenary, etc. etc.) There can be special conditions for future based on almost anything (from maps to monsters to events to pk state and so on, a lot of doors open). Extra changes related to Zen (for balance purposes with the new Zen System): Dealer VIP bonus is now +25%. PRO VIP bonus is now + 15%. Hunter VIP bonus based on Reset price is now 80% from the normal reset price. PRO VIP bonus based on Reset price is now 90% from the normal reset price. Dealer price for Post is now 60.000. PRO price for Post is now 80.000. Excellent option (Zen) will now add +10% Zen per item. Having Rudolf while farming will now give you +10% Zen. There's also an extra bonus ZEN (compared to normal, solo-player zen) if the party has 4 or 5 people in the same range (25% for 4, 35% for 5). Keep in mind that on the new System, all the mobs does apply this bonuses, no matter who last-hits the mob. Note: Zen Bonuses are additive not multiplicative which means you get separate bonuses based only on the base zen. Examples: Solo case: You will get the base Zen of that map / monster for every kill. If you have VIP, you will get the base zen + the bonus from the VIP. If you have Items with +Zen, you will get the base zen + the bonus from the Zen Items. If you have both VIP and items with +Zen, you will get the base zen + the bonus from the VIP + the bonus from the Zen Items. Example: Base zen: 5.000 VIP bonus: 25% 4 items with Zen (4x10%) = 40% bonus Zen from items. Final Zen that you get: 5.000 + vip bonus (5.000*0.25) + zen items (5.000*0.4) = 8.250 final Zen that you get, under this conditions. Party case: Whenever a monster is killed, everyone in the same party with the killer (the one who last-hits) and in the monster's map and 8x8 range (including the killer itself) will get Zen as following:  All players will receive the same amount of base zen that a solo player would get, for killing the same monster and in same conditions. Each player from party will receive INDIVIDUAL Zen bonus based on his own VIP level and his own Items with Zen. Example of party configuration and zen drop: 4 Players in party, everyone in range. Base zen: 5.000 (the Zen that a solo player would take as well). Party bonus: 25%. Player 1: NON-VIP Player 2: VIP Pro Player 3: VIP Dealer Player 4: NON-VIP but 3x items with Zen. In this configuration, players will get the following amount of zen on the same monster killed: Player 1: 5.000 + party bonus (25%) = 5000 + 1250 = 6.250 Zen received. Player 2: 5.000 + party bonus (25%) + vip bonus (15%) = 5.000 + 1250 + 750 = 7.000 Zen received. Player 3: 5.000 + party bonus (25%) + vip bonus (25%) = 5.000 + 1250 + 1.250 = 7.500 Zen received. Player 4: 5.000 + party bonus (25%) + zen items (3x10%) = 5.000 + 1250 + 1500 = 7.750 Zen received. As you will notice, there are several advantages: Each player will have his own bonuses based on what he individually have (no longer shared bonuses between all members). The bonuses will be applied no matter who last-hits the monster. Farming zen in full party (4/5) will be better than farming zen alone. Zen Penalty: If you have more than 20 levels over the average level of the map you are currently farming, you will start gaining penalty on Zen. For every 1 level after the first 20 levels difference, you lose 0.5% zen from the Base Zen. Example: Devias is a level 27 map (average of Devias1-4). After level 47, if you continue to farm in Devias you will get -0.5% base zen for each level over 47, up to a maximum of 80% penalty. So, if you farm on Devias at level 207+, you will get only 20% Base Zen. Note: Penalty is also individual, the penalties are for each individual character from a party, based on its level. Zen Table: Lorencia / Noria / Elbeland: 30% chance for zen. Base zen: 50 + MonsterLevel*20 zen. Devias: 25% zen chance. Base zen: 300 + MonsterLevel*25 zen. Kalima 1: 25% zen chance. Base zen: 300 + MonsterLevel*25 zen. Dungeon: 20% zen chance. Base zen: 600 + MonsterLevel*30 zen. Atlans: 20% zen chance. Base zen: 800 + MonsterLevel*35 zen. LostTower: 20% zen chance. Base zen: 800 + MonsterLevel*35 zen. Kalima 2: 20% zen chance. Base zen: 800 + MonsterLevel*35 zen. Tarkan: 15% zen chance. Base zen: 1500 + MonsterLevel*40 zen. Aida: 15% zen chance. Base zen: 1500 + MonsterLevel*40 zen. Kalima 3: 15% zen chance.  Base zen: 1500 + MonsterLevel*40 zen. Icarus: 12% zen chance. Base zen: 2000 + MonsterLevel*45 zen. CryWolf: 12% zen chance. Base zen: 2000 + MonsterLevel*50 zen. Kanturu: 12% zen chance. Base zen: 2000 + MonsterLevel*55 zen. Kalima 4: 12% zen chance. Base zen: 2000 + MonsterLevel*55 zen. Karutan1: 12% zen chance. Base zen: 2000 + MonsterLevel*55 zen. Karutan2: 12% zen chance. Base zen: 3000 + MonsterLevel*60 zen. Kalima 5: 12% zen chance. Base zen: 3000 + MonsterLevel*60 zen. Relics: 12% zen chance. Base zen: 4000 + MonsterLevel*65 zen. Kalima 6: 12% zen chance. Base zen: 4000 + MonsterLevel*65 zen. Raklion: 12% zen chance. Base zen: 5000 + MonterLevel*70 zen. Vulcanus: 12% zen chance. Base zen: 5000 + MonsterLevel*70 zen. Kalima 7: 12% zen chance. Base zen: 5000 + MonsterLevel*70 zen. Swamp: 12% zen chance. Base zen: 6500 + MonsterLevel*75 zen. Note: Zen is not gained on Events (BC, DS, CC, IT, etc.). Downsides of this system:  Not newbie-friendly (hard to understand it as a 1st time player that doesn't read forum as well). Losing the visuals for Zen and removing a nostalgic thing from the game. Upsides of this system: Does fix the inflation coming from newbies boost. Will balance the zen out during Stage exp. Will let players with max level to continue to gain Zen. It is more fair for everyone. It promotes farming in party vs farming solo. Does highly nerf Farmers vs main chars. It offers the possibility to extend it even more and adds opportunities for new rewards. It makes +ZEN option a really great option for PvM & farm, for the main characters as well. The flow of Zen will be more easily controllable as part of the economy, no longer being chaotic and random based on exp differences, who does the last-hit, and so on.
      We highly believe that this new Zen System will really make Zen shine now in economy, and will give us news ways of "playing" with Zen.
      Keep in mind that the values can be tweaked in the next period, based on the actual feedback. The goal is to have a balanced economy around Zen (not too much to become irrelevant, not too low to transform it into the main currency).
      Dynamic Characters Balance:
      Our feedback for chars looks pretty good so far, most chars are more or less in a balanced state, so there aren't too many changes related to chars on this stage, we'll have a better look at especially PvP (now that it will be more frequent) until the 10rr stage.
      Chars tweaks:
      DL:
      Fire Burst % skill damage raised with 20%. Fire Scream % skill damage nerfed with 18%. Obs: DL was and currently is a bit too powerful character on both Hunt & PvP (apart from all his other advantages) due to the burst of FS when positioned correctly. We're tuning it down to get it in line with rest of chars. While his PvM power was good early on, it is falling down right now and we're helping it by buffing the Fire Burst damage. SM:
      PvP damage raised with 8%. Obs: While we all know SM is scaling better as game progress, we feel like it should be a bit more in line with rest of chars right now, he will most probably be nerfed back later on. MG:
      PvP damage nerfed with 12%. Obs: Our PvM king was also a bit too powerful on PvP until now, we're tuning it down a bit.

      New additions to Death King:
      Now Death's Embrace duration is 60 seconds. This means that if there is no purge (by PKs) in 60 seconds after the Death's Embrace started, it is automatically purged (and the timer is reset). Added global messages to Lost Tower players during Death King: Messages with 3 / 2 / 1 seconds before Enrage. Message when Enrage is over. Messages after 10 & 30 seconds since Death's Embrace started and while Death's Embrace is active, with the number of players left to be killed in King's range in order to purge it. Message when Death's Embrace is purged (auto purged or by PKs).

      Gion reacted to Cerberus in [Inception 2021] Feedback & Discussions   
      As I remember it was something like this few DBs ago. The problem with this was that there was a huge exp gap when the top players got out of the stage and 90% of the player base was still in stage with lower exp. That resulted in few resets difference anyway which is the opposite of what stages are supposed to do.

      Gion reacted to ADMIN in Announcing Inception - #5 Edition - Back to Origins   
      Hello OldSquaders & Guests,
      It's something else that marks the beginning of autumn, outside of the weather, the (re) start of school / studies and so on and that's our INCEPTION!
      We are eager and proud in the same time to officially announce the 5th edition of our signature server - Inception, the server where everything started, the server that is so loved by many of you that are waiting every single year to experience it once again, to conquer our world and to fight once again for supremacy.
      Edition after edition, patch after patch, we've all been witness to the beautiful evolution of this server, to the high level it reached in terms of gameplay and the unique things it offers to be considered one of the best international *resets* server.
      Never aiming for anything less but greatness, this edition is coming stronger than ever, with even more changes towards a balanced gameplay and a high level competition as you're all used to.
      Inception # 5 - Back to Origins - Starting officially on Friday, 10 September 2021 at 19:00 GMT+3 (mobs spawning at 20:00 GMT+3).
      Public Test Server will be opened for public with 5 ~ 8 days before the start.
      So, spread the word, gather your teams, and prepare for a new journey! The crown is waiting for its kings!
      Some of the new things / changes that this edition will have:
      Now there will be a ML limit on each Stage as following: When ML is released after 10rr Stage, maximum ML is 30. After 15rr Stage is done, maximum ML is raised to 70. After 20rr Stage is done, maximum ML is raised to 110. After 25rr Stage is done, maximum ML is raised to 200+30 (really slow extra 30 ML). Instead of raising with +25%/+20% based on each ML interval, the ML experience will instead raise with +15/+10%. Jewel of Creation will no longer be dropped from monsters (only events / part of rewards from the existing alternatives). Instead, Jewel of Creation will be released on drop from monsters only when Sockets are also released. The same will apply for Spheres (they will only be released to drop from monsters - Vulcanus - only when Sockets are released). Guild System is reworked: All characters classes can now have the same amount of Members in Guild (no longer DL advantage). Maximum number of players in guild will now change with Stages as following: Maximum number of players in guild at start: 20 Maximum number of players in guild after Stage1.1 (5rr): 22 Maximum number of players in guild after Stage 2 (10rr): 25  Maximum number of players in guild after Stage 2.1 (15rr): 27  Maximum number of players in guild after Stage 3 (20rr): 30 Maximum number of players in guild after Stage 3.1 (25rr): 35 Introducing World Bosses Invasions: While Medusa had her own "army", into Cursed Dragon & Bloody Witch Queen, Selupan thought he's strong enough alone, but the past has proven him wrong. Learning from his own mistakes, he has built a new army of himself, that will attack our world 2 times per day, 1 set time (evening) and 1 random time (any period outside of evening). He has 4 minions: Dark Mammoth, Dark Giant, Dark Coolutin & Dark Iron Knight. They will all invade in the same time, each of them on a different map (yet to be decided). They are harder to beat and they offer World Drop (anyone can pick their drop) as well as credits for everyone in their range when they die. Dark Iron Knight - Very high damage, lower HP / DEF, can have special abilities, spawns in a normal map (free PK near them). Dark Mammoth - Low damage, very high HP / DEF, can have special abilities, spawns in a normal map (free PK near them).  Dark Giant - Medium damage & HP / DEF, can have special abilities, spawns in a Gens map. Dark Coolutin - Medium damage & HP / DEF, can have special abilities, in his 25x25 space, the zone is NON-PVP (no matter mercenaries or not). World Bosses will be released after Stage 2.1 (15rr). More info about them later on. Minimum 2 Fridays/Saturdays per month there will be a special event organized by Gion: Soccer Night (free for all, random teams with registered participants). Guild War (2v2 / 3v3 / 5v5 between teams/guilds). Except of Kundun, first bosses will only be released after the BoK+5 Goldens are also released (compared to last edition when they were released before BoK+5) - which means after Stage 1.1 (5rr). Gens Raids will only be released when Mercenary Squad is released as well (5rr Stage). The EXP bonus on Gens Maps will be only 5% instead of 12% until Gens Raids are released. Now there's a cooldown on the Warp Character from website, you can only warp once every 30 minutes. Exception: You can warp any time to Lorencia, without a cooldown (but it will reset your cooldown for rest of maps). Stage Rewards improved: Now except of the items won on Stage 2 & 3 (10rr & 20rr), the winners will also get the stage progress reward. 2 options items from BoKs will be more rare than they were, while luck will be seen more often instead. Instead of having a higher chance for luck but a lower one for 2 options on higher BoKs, there's now a higher chance for luck and lower chance for 2 options on lower BoKs, and vice-versa for higher BoKs. All BoKs now have a 2% chance of dropping items with 3 options. First part of Quest 3 has been reworked: Instead of being based on luck (some people farming it too much while others finish it really fast) the items dropped for quest will be gathered only from a "special" invasion, where mobs will drop the quest item with 100% chance. More info later on. Handicap from CS has been increased. We feel like it was too low as it was, not having too much impact on making the win harder multiple times in a row, as it should have. New Handicap: 1st win: On next CS the team starts with -1500 points. 2nd win (consecutive): On next CS the team starts with -3500 points. 3rd win (consecutive): On next CS the team starts with -6000 points. 4th win (consecutive): On next CS the team starts with -6000 points and 2/3 of VIT limit for GM (if limit is 15000 the GM will have a limit of 10000 VIT). 5th win (consecutive) and onwards: On next CS the team starts with -9000 points and 2/3 of VIT limit for GM. Maximum number points that can be reduced (by doing the upgrades) is now 25% of total Handicap points (instead of 40%). All maps (except of starting maps) will have -10 levels restriction when going "by walk" (something that didn't worked correctly until now). We've added 2 new (custom) gates in game, to the maps that lacked them from WebZen: You can now travel "by walk" from Kanturu Relics to Vulcanus (with -10 levels restriction) as well as from Vulcanus to Kanturu Relics (same gate). You can now travel "by walk" from Vulcanus to Swamp of Peace (same restriction, level 380 and 10+ resets) as well as from Swamp of Peace to Vulcanus (same gate). In order to discourage "same class stacking" in early game while also keeping the advantage of DL/RF/MG classes for "non-vip" players the following change is added: Until first "non-vip" player reaches level 200, DL/MG/RF will be able to go in maps at the same levels like rest of classes. After first "non-vip" player reaches level 200, the restriction will be lifted back. This is only for 0rr, where restriction is normally disabled. For 1rr+ restriction to maps is always up. Devias: Minimum level 15. Elbeland: Minimum level 20. Rest of 0rr maps: The "by walk" level of normal classes (-10 levels compared to the Move list of normal classes). Party EXP updated: Solo: 100% EXP 2 Players: 102% EXP. 3 Players: 104% EXP. 4 Players: 107% EXP. 5 Players: 110% EXP. 4 Players Gold (different races): 114%. 5 Players Gold (different races): 117%. The following exp rates will be applied no matter the races that are in party: Solo = 100%. 2 Players = 102%. 3 Players = 105%. 4 Players = 108%. 5 Players = 112%. Now, when there are ONLY 4 people in party, but all of them different races (Perfect Party): Everyone gets a "seal" with +5% EXP from the 4 man base exp (108%). If there are 5 people in party, and all of them different races (Perfect Party): Everyone gets a "seal" with +7% EXP from the 5 man base exp (112%). In order to apply the seal, a player from party must be in the 10x10 range of PM. If PM hasn't at least 1 other player from party in his 10x10 range, he won't get the seal alone. So: Leaving from the spot means losing your seal, but others on spot near PM does not lose it. If PM leaves spot and he's alone, nobody have a seal anymore, including the PM. Reduced the number of Giants from Lorencia to avoid "hot-spots" early game. More early game spots have been added: 6 spots in Devias (Devias4 -> down). 7 spots in Dungeon (3x Dungeon1, 4x Dungeon2). 4 spots in Elbeland (2x Elbeland2, 2x Elbeland3). Along with this specific changes, there are few more things that were updated during Phoenix and will be seen on Inception as well, apart from the fixes and improvements, as well as some unwritten changes (adjustments/improvements/small tweaks).
      The official info topic has been updated with the 5# edition information.

      And if you're curious about Arena Tournament - we hate that we still couldn't stop the "guild stacking" on the previous implementation, which destroys the fun that this event should offer. We have some new ideas for it (like randomly assigned players from Arena that will give extra points if killed during x seconds, which may help in forcing guild-mates to kill each-others as well) or going even further as virtually registering your character's guild when going at CS as your Main guild (no matter if you stay guildless or on different guild during the next week) and creating restrictions / bonuses based on Main guild and so on.
      But again, we're afraid that we'll spend again a lot of time on it and the result will be the same. Unless people start playing such Event for fun and quit tryharding, or unless you have real ideas that can prevent this things, we'll most probably hold on Arena Tournament.
      There's another option of transforming it into a guild/team based event, with teams and same tournament style, or, an option to transform it in fully 1v1 double elimination event.
       
      Also we're building the new Council group for this edition, if you want to be part of it feel free to contact either me or Gion. More info: https://discord.com/channels/364735762907922442/367652192821444608/874984233922330643

      Gion got a reaction from Tekashi69 in How to use Dark Raven   
      Hey there!
      Just equip the dark raven and you will get specific skills, which you can use simultaneously/different(at your choice) with your character skills. Though we do not recommend the dark raven unless it is only for fun, because it is not tweaked so well. Also, if you don't have enough Command stat, it won't work. You can test how much Command you need on the test server, but, again, command is only for DL pets so we do not recommend it.

      Hello Guys.
      As much as people dont like pk, or waking up in safe...i think mu without pk it`s boring,doesnt matter what side you are. In my personal opinion i think warping from site should  not be allowed at all or at list for people who PK. If u really want to have fun and pk..probably will be ok also to take a walk map to map..till your destination. One of the best thing in mu use to be able to move from map to map without warping, many events also.
      Anyway have fun and good luck.

      Hello , instead of complaining , maybe just put out ur doubt and question so it can be answered , have some manners.

      To use IT spells u need to click shift+right click , if u use this command in enemy whit the stun skill it will chain them , if u just shield skill u can click anywhere using the command.

      Hello,
      Golden invasion can start randomly on the hour when it`s due.
      Example: If it`s  3:30 PM and on "H" or website you see that the golden invasion start in 30 minutes it means that from 4PM to 5PM the invasion can start anytime.

      Character name - Phantomelu 
      Suggestion type - Server - Gens Raid
      Content - Feedback on the gens raid and overall gens situation
      How the suggestion could bring value - It would improve the overall quality of life for most of the players
       
       So, currently, as all the D gens players know and feel frustrated about, the daily raids are extremely hard for us, mainly due to the fact that there are no players in battle maps. Currently, rank 2-9 in the gens rankings are secondary characters who afk. I know that the only way to get more kills in raids is to change gens(which would be dumb to force all guilds to play in the same gens), but I would suggest making some tweaks to the system. My ideea(that would seem like the easieast fix) would be to put a requirement for 10-20 kills to be able to join the ranking and get rewards. Looking forward to more people replying and hearing more ideeas on this.

      Hello everyone,
      Did you miss me? Well, I don't know your opinion, but I definitely missed you! Today is a great day for Old Squad Community, a long-awaited one by many of the players who have already felt the taste of the quality of this server and, of course, the taste of the competition.

      The moment has come and we are pleased to enjoy this fresh data base with many surprises, from one data base to another we have seen these servers evolve based on the previous experience, we have enjoyed all those bloody "on the edge" wars, we have seen great guilds destroyed by the curse and turned in ash, we have also seen how some have managed to rise from their own ashes just like the sacred bird who inspired the name of this server, returning better organized and more motivated, with warriors led by pride, thirst for revenge and glory with great leaders who awakened an entire community, warriors who did not give up when everything was lost and made miracles overturning impossible situations, we saw battles won with pride but also shameful victories, we saw how hatred and pride turned strong characters covering them with shame, we felt many times the sour taste of disappointment seeing warriors we admire falling prey to recklessness, we all lived shameful but also glorious moments, everything happens here, dear readers in this beautiful community of which we are all part.
        
      A pleasant surprise was announced recently on forum by the founder of Squadron, TwoCheeks, a leader that is known as one of the most respected in the History of OldSquad, a leader who announced that will bring back the strongest core of this Legendary Guild and not only, also promising very interesting fights for supremacy.
      We already know that every database we have seen many guilds that we can say that are legendary, but we have also seen "unexpected" changes in the battle for supremacy and new guilds that have managed to amaze the entire Community. I wonder what will be the name of the guilds that will rise this time to face them? We already know the names of some legendary guilds who felt the taste of victory on the eternal battlefield called "Valey of Loren" so, will it be Hardcore? or Dynasty? or maybe  GROM? Will we see guilds like ATTACK or a return of some from the distant past like NONE? Will the battle for supremacy bring us new guilds? There is still time to find a guild that matches your type of gameplay, you can ask around: https://discord.gg/zjNSMPNc 
      One thing is for sure, time will reveal us the answers to all these questions and more. Having said that, all I can do is to wish you a lot of fun and I hope you relive all the feelings mentioned above!
       
                                                                                                     May the Curse stay away from you!

      Hi everyone !

      We are excited about the Project Phoenix#3 and we will reunite again as Squadron guild.
      The server seems to combine the high-paced aspects of reset servers with the classic game-play of non-rr, which we enjoy the most.
      Along the years, we played with many good players that will start on this edition of OS. And we realize is impossible to reunite with everyone under the same guild. 
      This edition we will start as two parties, around 10 people and we intend to recruit as many new players as we can.
      We are convinced it will increase the competition and give new opportunities, for us also, to meet new people that enjoy the game as we do.
      The Squadron will be focused as usual on the pvp side of the game, CS as main objective, big bosses fights and applying pressure on the maps.
      So if this gameplay suits you, we definitely want you in our team !
      Add me on discord TwoCheeks#5899
      Thank you!
