With the server relaunch having messed up our event scheduling a tad (hello summer in October), we are in fact approaching the end of October and with that the end of our Amazing Summer Race and the start of our Halloween Event. We hope you enjoy the Summer Event for the few more days that it’s up. We’re working hard on getting Halloween out before the end of the month, but with the backlog of work due to the relaunch, it might take us a tad longer. Once that is done we hope to be fully back on schedule, though!

First off, we forgot to mention in the previous news post that we do in fact have a Fast Five contest for the Amazing Summer Race! We will be giving out the Rune Helm Costume to the five players who found most NPCs first. Do keep in mind that players who used the Dead Branching trick to find these NPCs are disqualified from competing.

Next, you must’ve already noticed the change of our loading screens as well as the Fall-themed Prontera. Together with that we’d also like to start off with some updates and fixes, as well as a Halloween-themed monthly box ahead of the event. So without further ado, here are the updates:

• Introducing the Halloween Monthly Box. Rather than making a purely October/November box themed like Halloween, we’re starting off this box before the event as well as after, so that you can all dress up ahead of time! The contents are as follows:
  • Morroc Kid Servant Costume [21022]
  • Midnight Candle Costume [30093]
  • Diabolic Friend Costume [30091] [Garment]
  • Loli Ruri Moon Costume [21282] [Garment]
  • Bat Aura Costume [21915]
  • Vampire Coffin Costume [21914] [Garment]
  • White Cat On Shoulder Costume [21858]
  • Diabolic Lapel Costume [20915]
  • Gates of Netherworld Costume [21556]
  • Forest Guide Costume [21122]
  • Pumpkin-Head Costume [20684]
  • Drooping Cat Crew Costume [21576]
  • Deviruchi Headphones Costume [20681]
  • Pretend Murdered Costume [20683]
• Small Summer Race updates:
  • Reduced hunting amount of Yoyo, Pasana and Alarm from 100 to 75.
  • Fixed location of one of the Bonus Round NPCs. Arun Kai can now be found in lou_dun01.
• Removed the Saturday 5:45pm NonTrans WoE castle (payg_cas01). This slot has now been moved to Sunday 12am until 1am. The castle is now a Vanilla SE castle (no longer NonTrans) and takes place in the Morroc SE castle (mocg_cas01). The existing castle ownership and economy have been transferred.
  • This timeslot should be a better fit for players located in the EU (Sunday morning) as well as players from SEA (Sunday afternoon).
• Biolabs Level 4 and Scaraba Dungeon are now account-bound. If you have already finished the quest on one of your characters, please use the Instance Girl to warp inside, or use the official portal. This will ensure your entire account has the quests unlocked.
• Scaraba Dungeon can now be accessed via Warp Girl if dungeon access is unlocked.
• Layla has awoken from her slumber and can once again be found in the Valkyrie Bazaar with new goodies!
• Added Body Builder, Reset Girl and Healer to BG Waiting Room and Eden Training Room maps.
• The @noloot command is no longer tied to the Bonus Bundle.
• Added the @nolootid command. With this command, you can add up to 10 items to a list which will then not be picked up through arealoot and the Greed skill.
• Elemental Converters now have a 10 minute duration rather than 3 minutes.
• Fixed Nidhoggur Card sometimes not working properly.
• Electric Guitar’s Bragi Bonus now adds INT + 10 when entering a PvP-enabled environment instead of Bragi Rate script. The latter did not function in PvP previously, hence the update.
• Fixed Alphoccio Card not mentioning that the Bragi Rate part only works in PvM.
• The Doctor NPC now also removes Decrease Agi, Please Don’t Forget Me and Slow Cast debuffs.
• Added Official Behavior to various Homunculus Skills:
  • Moonlight: Now has 15 Cell Range.
  • Caprice: Now has 15 Cell Range.
  • S.B.R.44: Now has 15 Cell Range.
  • Bio Explosion: No longer has a Range requirement.
• Fixed looter mobs sometimes getting stuck.
