Episode 11.2 Veins

Episode 11.2 is upon us with the first of our two pushed up content updates in Thors and (in two weeks) Nameless Island. Today is only Thor's and Veins, but there are other adjustments and fixes too so lets get into it!

Thor's Volcano Adjustments

There aren't many changes here and no spawn changes, but we've made the following adjustments over renewal:

1.) All Kasa/Sword Guardian/Bow Guardian/Salamanders drop their random optioned based loot at 1.76% as if they were normal monsters and their cards at 0.05 as well.

2.) Meteo(r) plate armor has had its Freeze Resist increased from 30 > 35%

3.) For those of you wondering the item requirements for Ifrit's MVP Instance are

       -1 Lucius Fire Armor of Volcano[0]
       -1 Berserk Guitar
       -50 Burning Hearts

4.) Sword Guardian drops Claymore[2] instead of Claymore

Everything else is vanilla, but you can skip the Veins Siblings Quest in prep for nameless for 2m zeny.

5.) Ifrit teleports if he is brought near a portal, so no portal fisting!

MVP Instance Updates and Changes

1.) Thanatos MVP instance added on the 12th floor. This requires all the fragments needed to normally summon him and 2 Blue Feathers, and 2 Red Feathers. Note that this instance will not warp you back to the 12th floor upon completion but to thana_scene just outside the first floor.

2.) Ktullanux MVP instance added to ice_dun03. requires 4 freezing snow powders (acquired by doing the quest), 50 glacial hearts, 40 ice cubics, and 1 frozen rose.

3.) An NPC now exists inside each instance that lets you go back in case you mess up and choose the wrong option on entering. Choosing to go back will warp you back to the npcs location. So for Thanatos its floor 12, for Ifrit its thor_vol03, etc.

We've noticed some competition for these mvps and the point of the instance system is to remove the need to compete unless you want MVP cards so we're adding in these instances to level the playing field. The NPC to warp you back outside is there as a quality of life for people who are careless and choose the wrong option.

Costume Job Ring Fixes

1.) Classic Rings now are switched to bodystyle script which means they wont change your class and thus remove trans skills upon wearing them. This took us too long, we're sorry!

2.) jRO, kRO, and 4th job rings for both male/female now use Wargs instead of the Ostrich for their mounts.

3.) Gunslinger without ring and Gunslinger with the expanded ring now uses its motorcycle instead of the peco.

Chat Channel Adjustments

1.) Trade Chat now has a 5 minute cooldown, no spamming!

2.) No more flexing your items in main chat, use the intended channel: #freshfinds. Note you can still link items in #trade and #support for help.

Combo Monk Adjustments

Combo monks have felt wonky for some time. So we adjusted the delay on their combos to be tripled so you have a large window to start your combos. This should mean that even at higher aspd you can initiate your combos more freely. As long as you press your chain combo within 1 second of the triple attack you should be ok now. No more having to button mash and now you can combo more smoothly we hope.

WOE Mats Drops Buffs

9.) Hornet: extra drop of Bee Sting added at the same rate (now has 2)

10.) Anacondaq: extra rop of Venom Canine added at the same rate (now has 2)
