Updates

Changes to 'burning' effect of the FireWind spell from School of flame have been made. Damage sustained from burning is now increased by reactivation of the burning effect, minimal damage from burning will be equal to 5% of the opponent's health. This is limited by the characters maximum magic damage value.

Players, who buy more than150 platinum can choose a bonus: prisms or Roulette tickets. Test period — 1 week. Then we will choose only one of the options, based on the statistics of your preferences. Ask dealers for details.

From April 6th, 2010 the following changes to the system of private technologies ordering are made:
- weapons and equipment production technologies in two options to choose from:

• 20 pages (50 platinum + picture)

• 10 pages (30 platinum + picture)

- Teleport production technologies:

• 50 pages (75 platinum + picture on request)

• 15 pages (30 platinum + picture on request)

The durability of all craft items (private technologies and Zodiac equipment), produced after April 6th inclusive, will be calculated with a ratio of 5, instead of 10 as at present. That way all craft samples, produced earlier, will still have greater durability of deterioration. In addition to the production system the operation of Damage and Magic reflection has been changed. Details on the data changes are to be found on the forum.
