[09.30.2009] Server and Client Updates

Post by Koma »

As of the 30th of September in 2009, we are now utilizing eAthena Revision 14076. For precise core changes, click the eAthena link and view the ChangeLog.txt. It's recommended to check the eAthena ChangeLog since it may include information that is not listed here.

Bug Fixes:
  • Elemental Converter Consumption - The fix made last week was incomplete, but was updated a few days later to correct this issue. Before the live @reloaditemdb, these items were usable but weren't consumed. Thanks Ayae for reporting this.
  • Hardrock Mammoth MVP Status - While eA later made this update as well, this monster now has its proper flag and drop rates. This was corrected shortly after last week's maintenance.
  • Episode 13.1 Quest Circumvention - Checkpoint has reported an issue where players could circumvent a majority of the quest by simply talking to the last NPC after another player has failed to complete the mobster slaying part. This is now corrected.
  • Umbala Healer And Warper - A communication issue caused these two NPCs to be placed incorrectly. This is now resolved.
Other Updates:
  • New Universal 24/7 Event - Effectively immediately, a new "random drop" system has been implemented for players who spend lots of time on-the-go! Now, at a low drop rate, you can obtain rare items. You'll know what it is when you see it. We'll start this maintenance period off with Enriched Elunium, Enriched Oridecon, and Bloody Branches as the initial random prizes. This will be a permanent feature and will continue to evolve as necessary.
  • Yamahan Synthesizer - A new NPC is now available next to the Prontera Tool Shop building. This NPC will take your equipped custom *top* headgear and merge it with an upgraded and carded headgear (if you have cards) of your choice. You will only be able to do this synthesis once per custom headgear -- as this is not yet compatible with the Card Deleter (which would later end up deleting the headgear and card synthesized). For example, if you have an Animated Angeling Hat and a +10 Hat[1] slotted with a Nightmare Card, you would synthesize them into a +10 Animated Angeling Hat with a Hat[1] and Nightmare Card slotted into it. Defense does not carry over, but the hat's "script" does.
  • Hat Dude - An NPC to obtain a few of the custom and un-obtainable headgears from official RO has been implemented. This includes Alice Doll, Drooping Bunny, and Blank Eyes to name a few.
  • Custom Headgear Defense Increased - While this has not yet been reflected in the descriptions, the defense of all custom *top* headgear has been increased to 3 as the synthesized defense does not carry over.
  • New World Access Updated - We've added Splendide and Manuk to the Warp Manager. This should allow players to bypass the New World quest that would usually net in about 6mil experience to get to the fields. Note: These towns and a few maps connected may be empty still.
  • Krieger von Midgard Battleground - A preliminary version of this is now enabled -- there are no rewards yet. We basically gutted the version by LimitLine to work with the official eAthena scripts, but still need to duplicate the script for the < 89 level arenas. Please let us know if there are any issues, as we intend on bringing this closer to full implementation within the coming weeks.
  • Dead Branch Arena Added To Last Warp - This has been done to make it easier to return to the Dead Branch Arena (of course). This is a requested change that was accepted.
  • Dead Branch Arena Mapflags - We have removed the experience penalty and the /memo limitations on this map. This should make it more welcoming to go to the arena than anywhere else now.
  • Old Mini WoE Portions Disabled - As requested, the inactive Mini WoE flags and warps have been disabled.
  • Beelzebub And Ifrit - These two MVPs have been added to the Bloody Branch list. As far as the requests regarding Hocus Pocus/Abracadabra, Change Class pulls from all MVPs marked as bosses -- similar to how players were able to spawn MVPs that didn't exist before years ago and PoriPori -- thus there is no change there.
  • Endless Tower - This instance has been updated with a few bug fixes from Saithis.
