Revision as of 04:48, 13 June 2022

After a series of long delays, we're finally releasing the Summer Event for this year! This is a massive update with a lot to unpack that includes MORE than just the summer event. We're playing catch up on BGs, putting HD ores, introducing brand new reworked renewal content and so much more. So without further ado I just want to dive right into it.

Battlegrounds

After a long period of waiting BGs is finally ready. There's a lot to talk about with how we did BGs, so first let's talk about all the the aspects of it.

Joining BGs and the different Modes

To join or leave BGs you can type @joinbg and @leavebg . Note that only ONE client per computer can join BGs and trying to bypass this will result in bans. Do not attempt to farm bgs with dual clients.

There are 4 different modes that we will start with and adjust based on player feedback:

      1.) Conquest= Essentially a mini-WOE. Players are assigned to a random guild for a WOE SE castle. One defends, One attacks. If the defenders can hold off the attackers they win and vice versa.
      2.) Krieger von Midgard= This mode is a straight GVG matchup with one life for each player. Once the enemy is completely wiped,  the team left standing wins.
      3.) Team Deathmatch= Players are put on one of two random teams and are given points for each team. Every time a player dies, points are reduced by one. Once a teams points are reduced to 0 they lose.
      4.) Capture the Flag= The goal of this mode is to capture the enemy's flag, while maintaining your own, and return the enemy flag to your flag. upon doing so you will be awarded one point. First to 3 wins.

Skill Mechanics Changes for BGs

To make BGs more playable for some classes we had to make some custom changes:

      1.) Soul Linkers can use Ka skills even without Soul Link/Spirit State while in BGs
      2.) Zeny cost of skills like Cart Termination and Mammonite are removed altogether.
      3.) Monk's snap is specifically disabled in KvM and Capture the Flag game modes for balancing purposes.


BG Supplies and How they Work

There is an NPC upstairs in the Main Office that will give your BG supplies. However, there is also a tutorial NPC that will explain everything you see here in there as well.


BG Supplies are restricted to those you get from this NPC. You cannot use outside supplies.


You can only choose one type of HP potion and one type of SP potion. Otherwise you can choose as much or as little as you want from the other supplies.


However, each consumable has a restricted amount you can get. These refill upon death and you can talk to the NPC to refill inbetween rounds of BGs.


Battlegrounds Freebies

For new players who don't have PVP oriented gear, there is a free set of Battlegrounds gears given to players that can ONLY be worn while in battlegrounds.

This is a full set that includes Armor, Garment, Shoes, and Headgear, Shield, and a weapon for your class.

The weapons and gears are suboptimal to best in slot gear, but will be sufficient to compete at a basic level if you want to jump right into PVP without gear investment.

      1.) Battlegrounds Suit (8 DEF, 500 HP, 5 MDEF)
      2.) Battlegrounds Muffler (3 DEF, 10% Neutral Resist, 4 MDEF)
      3.) Battlegrounds Shoes (3 DEF, 5% HP/SP, 3 MDEF)
      4.) Battlegrounds Guard (6 DEF, 20% Demi Human Reduction)
      5.) Battlegrounds Beret (7% Demi Human Reduction)

Battlegrounds Rewards

Below you will find a lit of all rewards you can get with your BG badges. Prices vary based on the items. All gear that can roll random options will!

Summer Event

Before we get into the huge amount of new content, I want to talk about the summer event specifically has to offer you guys this time! It's similar to our other events like the Sweets Festival, but a few changes this time:


Pori Pori First Week

The server took down the greatest poring of all time, and as such you all will be rewarded accordingly! For the first week of the event, (and only the first) there will be an NPC and command that gives you 1 hour of EXP buffs like @dailyexp.


Note that this does NOT stack with regular or advanced manuals or @dailyexp. You can still combine this with job manuals as it is a normal manual buff. The command to bring up the Pori Pori exp is @poriexp.


Additionally, all gear that rolls random options and drops from non-boss type monsters will have its floor raised from 1.75% > 3.50% for the week as well! Headgears/Accessories are still unaffected by this. Armors/Garments/Shoes/Weapons are affected.


Again, this will last only the first week of the event so use it while you can.


Summer Annie EXP

After the first week is over, you can still get your hour of EXP buffs during the event! But you'll just have to pay 30 Starfish Tokens to do so!


Where do you get Starfish Tokens? You can get 2 from every Silvervine drop, and from farming Lasagna dungeon mobs and Byalan 6 dungeon mobs. (more on those locations later in the post)


There will also be mini games where you can get Starfish tokens for those of you who do not want to fight monsters!


You can bring up Summer Annie from anywhere! Just type @eventexp and you can buff yourself by spending your 30 Starfish tokens.


Summer Drinks

If you go to Prontera,110,238 you will find a resort employee who will offer you drinks that buff you in exchange for 10 Starfish Tokens each! These buffs last for an hour and mostly persist through death!

      1.) Jawaii Punch (20% incoming healing)
      2.) Pina Colada (+10 Crit) (doesn't persist through death)
      3.) Strawberry Daiquiri (5 Perfect Dodge)
      4.) Screwdriver (10 Flee and Hit) (doesn't persist through death)
      5.) Margarita (20 ATK and MATK)
      6.) Pink Martini (Life Insurance Buff) (removed on death like a normal Life Insurance)


Summer Costumes

      1.) Starfish Headband (Upper)

      2.) Beachball (Upper)
      3.) Fish Head (Upper)
      4.) Watermelon Slice (Lower)
      5.) Strawberry in Mouth (Lower)
      6.) Fishbowl Parfait Hat (Upper)
      7.) Diving Goggles (Middle)
      8.) Fish Bone Hair Wig (Lower)
      9.) Hooked Straw Hat (Garment)


Content Update: Lasagna

So this is our first and early foray at converting renewal content into one that is suitable for pre-renewal. This one took a lot of time and work to convert everything over so there is a lot to unpack. Lasagna had to completely repurposed since it is normally a starting area for Dorams.


To maintain this theme we decided to make Lasagna the newbie area for Project Alfheim. This means that it's where new players will probably flock to in order to get their journey started. I can't reveal everything Lasagna has to offer here, but we we will have a separate post you can find below this line if you want to read more details about what Lasagna has to offer!

Lasagna Drops and Gears

So let's start explaining a few things about Lasagna!


Paradise Gears and Newbie Tutorial

As a new player, it can be hard to learn about what makes Project Alfheim not only different...but easier!


Starting out without ANY gears is also quite rough so we're seeking to alleviate this a bit with a new Paradise Gear set!


You can obtain the Paradise gear set after you finish your job change to first job and talk to the Paradise Recruit NPC found at every single job change. We made this quite easy to see as they have a big Muka with a quest sign in his hand to let you know to talk to them after you've job changed.


For future Super Novice players you can talk to a different NPC in the main office to start your quest. In the novice grounds we've added a new Super Novice warper NPC next to the other classes that will warp you out once you've hit job 10 in the training grounds. She will give you every manual and warp you to the main office next to the Paradise recruiter NPC that will help you start your quest to get your gears.


I don't want to spoil too much in this post as the tutorial kind of explains itself. If you're new to Alfheim make sure you READ the text in the tutorial as its not your run of the mill how to play RO stuff. This is specific to Alfheim and helps you understand a few of our core server features.


In addition to giving you gears, it will help you get your first set of buffs as well as a free halter lead! So its well worth it as a new player.


It's still recommended you do the other quests in the normal novice grounds before leaving though so you can get your novice potions/fly wings, etc as these won't give you any of those.


Each recruiter warps you to Lasagna where you will talk to the Paradise leader to start your quest. From there its straight forward!


Lasagna Fields

Lasagna fields are full of early level monsters that are designed to be easy for newbies, but are bulkier. This makes them good for early level duo-ing and partying, but can still be solo'd if one wishes to do so. Drops from these monsters are geared to be less about making raw zeny and more about selling mats to players on the market!


Lasagna Field 1 is focused on giving you base experience, and Lasagna Field 2 will give you more job experience. Both are easier however so neither should be too difficult.


If you want a complete list of what these monsters drop and what their stats are check out our Lasagna page.


Lasagna Dungeon: Dragon's Next

Lasagna dungeon has 3 floors of varying difficulty and can be found in Lasagna Field 2.


As with most dungeons, the first floor is for first job leveling, this time as a home for melee classes to job 50. With tons of difficulties for ranged classes, we don't expect many to attempt to farm the first floor.


Fear not, however, as the 2nd floor is designed for any and all classes who can figure out a way to survive/farm it efficiently. Bring your fire resistance here as the mobs magic damage is no joke!


The 3rd floor is specifically aimed at party play with one of the most ambitiously designed mobs we've created yet. The Jungle Mandragoras are incredibly bulky and hit quite hard. We're hoping people will group up to burn them down!

All of the floors offer Starfish Tokens during the event at 2%/40%/60% respectively for the mobs.


In the final floor you will also find the Big Eggring MVP. He may look like a pushover, but he's anything but! He's also one bulk boi so don't expect to kill him quickly like you normally would in renewal.


If you want specific details on the mobs and what can drop here check out our Lasagna page.


Lasagna Quests and New Class Figures

One of the specific things we can talk about here in this post rather than the Lasagna page is the Class Figures quests. These are new accessories that you can only get in Lasagna by completing bounties for Doram Tokens in addition to bringing specific items for each accessory. The requirements can be found by talking to one of the NPCs in each house near Lasagna,80,249. They will let you know what each class figure needs to be made.

For now here's a screen shot of all the figures and what stats they offer so you know if they even interest you or not! Only the respective classes can equip their own figures, but pre-trans can equip them. So Rogue can equip the stalker figure, for example but an Assassin can't.

Classfigures.jpg

Every figure will require 300 Doram Tokens to make which you can get by talking to the Lazy Father and taking up his kill bounty quests. (lasa_in01,22,63)


Important to note that these kill bounty quests are computer and account restricted so no dual client cheesing them here! The Doram tokens themselves are account restricted as well so you'll have to actually earn them. The class figures themselves are tradeable however so you don't have to kill on the class you want to make the figure for!


There are many hidden quests/costumes in Lasagna that I won't reveal here or in the Lasagna post as I want people to explore and feel like they are genuinely experiencing new content. So if you want to see what Lasagna has to offer you'll have to find out yourself!

Content: Byalan Dungeon 6

With this content update comes a new floor to Byalan Dungeon! You can reach this floor by entering the new portal found in the top middle of the 5th floor of Byalan dungeon. (the one with Strouf/Merman).


Note that this floor is quite difficult and the monsters are no joke. This floor is NOT for the feint of heart and if you are unprepared these monsters will absolutely run you over.


However they offer new gears and new cards as well. You can also find a new MVP: The Kraken, who brings with him some early gears such as Cardo and Hunting Spear!
