Upcoming New Class: Hakkapeliter
Expansion of [Hackpell]: [Hakkapeliter] Hakkapeliter that shares the concept of Swordsman - Hackpell will be added to the Scout class in the next big update! Hackapell could not gather in groups more than 100 by the Kingdom's law. Due to this law, they have always acted as mercenaries in either small groups or as individuals. This is an outdated law that many feel to be arbitrary in the current age, but it is still yet to be revised by the Kingdom's lawmakers. Hackapells, who were only able to work in minority groups or individuals due to the old laws of the kingdom, have learned various combat knowledge and secrets through their activities. In particular, as more and more Hackapells choose to overpower the enemy with pistol shots instead of the existing protocol - chasing the enemy - they were named Hakkapeliter even on formal occasions. Hakkapeliter is a Scout class that uses Pistol. Like Swordman class - Hackapell, he uses skills that can be used only when mounted on companions and adheres to the fighting style of driving attacks at the enemy with excellent maneuverability. However, as it mainly focuses on ranged attacks, it has developed into a form that can understand and utilize more on the battlefield. Hakkapeliter In this update, we have remade the Hackapell in the Swordsman class into Scout. Hackapell has appeared as a Hybrid class that uses One-handed Sword and Crossbow in Archer class at first, but has been moved to the Swordsman class on the Re:Build update. Scout class consists of Dagger and Pistol dealer, and the subclass is yet enough of class compared to other classes. Also, because it is a class that needs the companion mounting, Hackapell that has melee, distant, and maneuver as a concept joined the Scout. Unlike the Re:Build, the Hackapell is not moving to the Scout class but will be expanded as Hakkapeliter class that uses Pistol attack and added to the Scout class. Hakkapeliter has attack skills that uses Pistol. It is a skill attacking, mount combatting class that can take advantage of moving and moving shots. Another mount class among Scout, the Schwarzer Reiter, mainly uses a basic attack Limacon, but if you learn other attack skills instead of Limacon, you can create a new build with Hakkapeliter.

Swordsman Wizard Archer Cleric Scout Hackapell Fencer Bokor Arquebusier Musketeer Sadhu Linker Rogue Ardito Schwarzer Reiter Bullet Marker Classes may be added or deleted when applying to the live server. Expand in Cleric class attack property compatibility Cleric Class is divided into Physical attack (STR) and Magic attack (INT). Healer/subclass has another stat (SPR) as the main, which enables some classes to convert physical/magic, but the actual build combination is very limited compared to the number of classes in the series. There are classes that have limitations due to various weapons such as Swordsman or Archer, but it can be covered by the dual weapon slot and that it is not divided by the stat and they can change the class by changing the weapon type. Attribute that changes Physical Stat ↔ Magic Stat in some classes will be unified to Cleric class which is the basic class, and the property that you choose will be applied to every attack of the character. For example, when the character with Monk (Physical) - Crusader (Magic) - Krivis (Magic) - Krivis(Switching) combination selects ‘Magic Stat’, the Monk skill will be applied as magic property and the damage will be calculated based on Magic Attack (INT). When the character changes to Physical Stat, every attack will be based on Physical Attack (STR). Stat Switching is available only to Physical - Magic and is not applied to sub type based on SPR. Thus, if someone has set the build to Physical with Monk, Inquisitor, and other classes by STR stat, and the other has set the build to Magic with Exorcist, Crusader, and other classes by INT stat, you can combine classes with a different property that couldn’t be combined until now by selecting the property attribute according to the item you have. This concludes the posting about Hakkapeliter and other class adjustments.

Questions and Answers about TOS #1
Hello. We are "Tree of Savior (TOS)" development team. This blog was created to share you our development process and more information about TOS. We were thinking what we should start with and after some thoughts, we decided to start off our blog by answering the questions that were delivered to us the most. The contents and the images below do not reflect the final version of the game since we are currently developing the game. Therefore they may get changed or modified in the future. (Korean version available at the following link. http://blog.treeofsavior.com/?paged=2) Q1) Is this Game MMORPG? After seeing the video, it also looks like MO. A1) TOS is an authentic MMORPG where you can meet lots of people in random in various fields and villages and you will also experience the same event with everyone else when you visit a particular place at a particular time. ▲ Of course, villages will be filled with lots of people. While you are doing a scenario quest, cut scenes or event scenes will appear and to avoid interruptions from the other players, you will be temporarily switched to independent mode. This may have confused you that TOS looks like MO, but the most of fields and dungeons will be played in MMO style. Q2) Is this game played by keyboard? is it not possible playing with a mouse? A2) TOS is a type of game that requires player's actions. Timeliness, location, and directions play important roles. You will be able to move using cursor keys on keyboard and you will attack using Z and X keys. We have concluded that it is hard to follow these moves using a mouse so we have decided not to use a mouse except for clicking on UIs. ▲ A piece of information for those of you who will start to shake your mouse once the game gets started. We are currently testing to see if making the gamepads compatible with the game will be feasible. Q3) Does player's gender link with character's gender? A3) No. character's gender can be chosen freely. If you fall in love with a female character, then play with a female character. Q4) What type of classes are available in this game? A4) When you first create your character, you can choose among swordsman, wizard, archer and cleric which are four basic classes. These characters will grow as their levels increase and the basic classes can be switched to upper classes within each class. ▲ Each class has it's own unique skills and attributes. Q5) Are the maps in this game zone type or seamless? A5) The maps in the game are zone type. We think they are more suitable for classical game type. Q6) How can I dress up my character? A6) When you switch to an upper lever class, the costume which is exclusive for that class will be available. Of course, you can keep using the costume you had before. There are some exclusive costumes for the basic four classes as well and you can wear those costumes regardless of which upper class you have switched to. ▲ Characters are posed with diverse costumes, items and accessories. There are also accessories for characters' hair and head, and the weapons and the shields that are in use will be also shown in the game. Q7) Is there PvP in the game? A7) We are not planning PK system which players can be engaged in PK anytime they want on the fields. However, we are planning some kind of Tournaments which will be held periodically. ▲ Weird looking letters shown above are the texts that the spectators have typed Let's hear some booing to the enemies of our friends! Tournaments can be participated in both single and party mode and if you win a tournament, you will get to keep the trophy until the next tournament. We are also preparing large scale PvP contents which lots of users can participate together. Q8) Is this game more focused on quests? A8) We are preparing a large volume of quests, but except for a few main scenario quests, most of the quests will be non-mandatory quests which can be chosen by players. Therefore, ways to enjoy TOS can be diversified. However, in [Adventure Journal], individual records of completion will be saved and each player will be able to do more and get more in the game based on the completion record so we recommend you complete as many quests as you can. Q9) What are the system requirements for this game? A9 We haven't finished optimizing the game, but our plan is to optimize the game so that the game can be played on Ultrabook notebooks which are currently sold outside. If you have more questions, please send them to us. We will collect them and answer your questions on Questions and Answers about TOS #2. Thanks.

NPC Origins - Shadowmancer Master
NPC Origins - Shadowmancer Master Who is Shadowmancer Master Eclipse Ubik? Born a commoner, Eclipse Ubik spent her life devoted to researching and developing her skills by using the solar and lunar eclipse in her magic. As a master of shadows, she has researched the various effects shadows have on other magic forms from all around the world. To perfect the results of this research is her desire as Shadowmancer Master. She also keeps a close relationship with the Chronomancer Master. Together they have researched the use of solar eclipses in their work because the beauty of eclipses is that everyone can share the exact same moment without an apparatus or the help from another. Eclipse has headed most of the research herself. But let's take a step back and see how Shadow Master Eclipse Ubik received her name. The Shadow Master’s Experiment Ubik took a deep breath and turned around. She saw, in the seats provided, the various mage Masters sitting side by side. Some were apathetic, while others looked on with anticipation. But regardless of how these Masters felt, Ubik did not want to fail before any of them. With great composure, Ubik signaled towards her students and a monster began to take shape from the shadows. Remembering its name would be a task for another day. Ubik, knowing it would be failure to lose focus now, carefully, but with quick precision, completed her casting. The monster’s pursuing shadow shot out into four arrows -- arrows so sharp they hung like needles. These arrows embedded themselves, one by one, into each of the monster’s four feet. The monster let out a shriek as it found itself pinned to the ground. The shadow then crawled from the monster’s feet up to its legs threading and separating into separated arrows above and below, crisscrossing around and swiftly piercing the monster’s body with sixteen strikes. The shadow then rose above the monster and formed into a gigantic lance and whatever breath was left was taken away with one swift strike that pierced the monster’s head. The demonstration complete, Shadowmancer Master Ubik turned to face the various Masters that sat on the platform behind her. The first to comment was the Sorcerer Master, Dame Circe, “That Shadow control is something that can only be seen at a Master’s level, no? I think it would be hard for other Shadowmancers to follow. You have gathered many Masters here to perform a feat that only one of Master level can perform.” Before Ubik could respond with That’s it! Wican Celestic stepped in. “Circe is correct. If it is a skill of this level that other Shadowmancers cannot follow than it is indeed magical. However, seeing as how the Sorcerer Master also has a similar skill to reflect a demon’s shadow, you may not be able to invoke the amount that she can summon." This time Ili Terid spoke, “You are both correct, however let us move on to the next demonstration. If we continue to discuss after each display, one day will not be enough.” With that, Ubik turned back around and motioned again to her students, who released a second monster. This time without appearing to move, Ubik pinned the monster to the ground. And this time Thaumaturge Master Larisa was first to gave her opinion. “Isn’t this the normal skill of a Shadowmancer? To pin down an opponent’s shadow so that it is unable to move? It's a skill that they all know.” “Correct,” Ubik answered and signaled. Her students began to turned on and off the magic flames that were prepared on all sides. Even during the day the flames were strong and more shadows of the monster appeared. But that was not all. The monster began to be yanked around by the shadows that had just newly formed. And as it was restrained to its shadow, if the shadow suddenly appeared in another location or drastically changed shape or direction, the body too was forcefully moved to follow suit. Each time the monster hit the ground it received physically damage. The monster was then dragged into the air and slammed against the hard ground multiple times until the monster was no more. Ubik turned around again to face the other Masters' criticisms. This time again Sorcerer Master Circe was the first to speak, “To fight like this, isn’t it a problem to have to prepare lighting every time?” Linker Master Winona Ende spoke afterwards. "I can use linking technology well, and I can do it without preliminaries if I instantly place a glowing object like a fireball or something of magic on every side. This is a technical application for a joint battle with other mages. That might be the original intention." Ubik liked that Winona mentioned linkage attacks. But that did not last long as Psychokino Ili Terid soon said: "But if you're going to give the enemy a physical shock like that, why don’t you just do this?" After saying so, Ili Terid grabbed, with his telekinesis power, the body of the monster that was already dead and he waved it back and forth. Wican Celestic intervened without hesitation, "Of course if there are times where I cannot get the help of Telekinesis or Psychokino, that would be the situation when when I would need this. But it doesn’t seem very efficient." Sorcerer Master Circe rose from her seat and spoke, “I understand that the Shadowmancer Master has taken Shadowmancer magic to a higher level. But I don’t feel as though the other mage Masters necessarily needed to see it. I would like to see more, but sadly I’m too busy. This is all I will watch for today.” With that, Dame Circe along with Wican Celestic said their goodbyes. The other mage Masters, some of which were interested in the demonstration and wanted to stay, were divided on what to do next. At that time, the quiet Chronomancer Master Lucid Winterspoon rose from her chair. As she was their elder, the other Masters as well stood up and began to say their goodbyes to Ubik. Although the first to stand, Lucid Winterspoon was the last to approach. “It seems that my action has caused a reaction through the others, but that was not my true intention.” Ubik heard this and spoke, “Was that not what you had intended when you rose from your seat?” “Yes, there was that. But that was not all. I wanted to speak with you alone. As a result, of the magic you just demonstrated, you were able to send the body of the tied down shadow to another place. If you develop this further you would be able to apply this to teleportation. Have you thought of that?” “But to do that, I will have to solve the problem of physical shock upon arrival. The further the distance the stronger the shock. So of course, you could send the monster a shorter distance and they will not be damaged. But it depends.” Lucid Winterspoon grinned at hearing those words and said, “If that was the only problem, then in comparison it would be easily solvable.” Ubik thought for a moment and replied, "Plus, another problem is, if you want to send the shadow further, one will need stronger lighting as well. And lights need to be installed the further the location. Plus if the body isn’t there, there is no way to send the shadow of that body first." “Then what if you do not use your own shadow. What if you used the shadow of something else?” “I’ve never considered that so I’m not sure if it is possible. I would have to come to that conclusion through research, no? To send my shadow or to send the shadow of someone else, the problem is still the same as the one before. Without a way to call on stronger lights and the shadow first, the body will still need to go to the place to reach the shadows." Lucid Winterspoon grinned again and said, “And if that shadow was the moon’s?" At those words, Ubik’s expression changed. “That’s genius! If you can utilize the shadow of the solar or lunar eclipse then one can call upon it from anywhere. I hadn’t thought of that.” Lucid Winterspoon spoke again, “Well, try. Teleportation has been considered inefficient but until trying, you won’t know. How would you feel about researching this type of magic? I will be able to help you from time to time.” “Yes, why not? I will start from today. Thank you so much. This is an amazing idea, Master Lucid.” And from that day forward, the Shadowmancer Master was known as Eclipse Ubik.

NPC Profile - Goddess Laima
Greetings, Saviors! Get to know the Goddes of Fate, Laima through this week's NPC Profile.
Official GTW Guide 2 – Rewards
Click the links below to read the other GTW guides. 1. How to Play 2. Rewards 3. Strategies and Tips Honor Rewards Five minutes after the end of the session, members of the winning guild can retrieve the following honor rewards at the Expedition Merchant NPC in the Guild Hangout, according to the Spot Area seized. Spot Area Rewards Genar Field Black Champion Costume Conqueror Armband Aqueduct Bridge Area Black Champion Costume Baron Allerno Black Champion Costume Note: - These rewards can be collected until the start of the next GTW session. - The items will include a time limit according to how much time is left until the next session. Tariff Collection After the end of each GTW session, the winning guilds can accumulate and collect tariff funds from cities and the Market, according to the Spot Area seized. 1) City Tariffs Each Spot Area corresponds to a city where local tariffs can be adjusted by the owning guild. The higher the tariff rate, the larger the amount collected. Here is the list of cities and the Spot Areas they correspond to. Genar Field Baron Allerno Aqueduct Bridge Area Klaipeda Orsha Fedimian Each guild can adjust their city’s tariff rates under the GTW benefits section of the Guild window (combat tab). The automatic default rate is 10%, and you can adjust it to any number between 0% and 20%. Note: - City tariff rates can be adjusted only by the guild master or members with the corresponding authority. - After adjusting a rate, it can only be adjusted again after 1 hour. - Rates cannot be adjusted from 1 hour before the start of a GTW session until 5 minutes after it ends. - If a Spot Area’s owning guild changes after the end of the session, the corresponding city’s tariff rate resets to the default (10%). - No tariff rates (0%) apply to members of the owning guild within the corresponding city. When the standard rate of 10% is applied to a city, regular players see no change to their Silver spending, compared to how much they would spend before this system was introduced. The change happens when the rate is set below or above 10%, which in turn reduces or increases Silver prices (and the amount accumulated for the owning guild) accordingly. Since the standard is 10%, if a guild applies a tariff rate of 0% (minimum rate) to their city, a transaction that would normally cost 10,000 Silver will now cost 10% less (9,000 Silver) to any regular player, and the amount accumulated for the owning guild from that transaction will be 0. At a tariff rate of 10% (default rate), a transaction that would normally cost 10,000 Silver will continue to cost 10,000 Silver for a regular player, with 10% of that amount (1,000 Silver) accumulated as part of the tariff for the owning guild. If the guild has set a tariff rate of 20% (maximum rate), a transaction that would normally cost 10,000 Silver will now cost 10% more (11,000 Silver) for a regular player, with 20% of that amount (2,000 Silver) accumulated as tariff funds for the owning guild. Tariff funds are accumulated starting 5 minutes after the end of the GTW session, until the end of the next session. These tariffs apply to Silver spent by players who are not members of the owning guild within the corresponding city in the following transactions. Item Merchant: item purchases Equipment Merchant: weapon and armor purchases Accessory Merchant: accessory purchases Companion Trader: companion adoption, companion food purchases, companion training Blacksmith: repairs, recipe purchases, socket addition, gem extraction, identification, item dismantling, weapon appearance changes (if the potential loss prevention option is ON) Storage: Team Storage expansions Geraldas Family: gem purchases Magic Association: item purchases Fishing Manager: item purchases Teliavelis: item purchases, seal enhancement Appraiser Master: identification Tariff rates do not apply to Silver spent in the following transactions: - Warps - Class-specific supply purchases - Guild foundation - Etchings - Personal Storage transactions 2) Market Tariffs Guilds who own a Spot Area can also receive a set percentage of the Silver spent on Market fees (both registration and sale fees). Funds accumulated through these tariffs are calculated on a weekly basis. Genar Field Baron Allerno Aqueduct Bridge Area Market tariff 4% 3% 3% Market tariffs apply starting 5 minutes after the end of a GTW session, until the end of the next session. 3) Tariff Fund Distribution Accumulated tariff funds can be viewed under the GTW benefits UI (Guild window), and distributed to your guild members for one week after they are received. E.g. if the GTW session takes place on the 10th, tariff funds will accumulate for 1 week until the 17th, and they can only be distributed during the week after that (until the 24th). Note: - The amount designated as tariff funds includes both city and Market tariffs. - The list will update 1 hour after the end of the GTW session. - Only the guild master or members with the corresponding authority can distribute funds. - Funds left undistributed one week after they are received will be automatically deleted and cannot be recovered. - If the guild is disbanded, any funds left undistributed will be automatically deleted and cannot be recovered. - All logs related to funds received and distributed are kept in the ‘Records’ tab. 4) Retrieving Distributed Funds Guild members who receive part of the funds when they are distributed will see an alert message appear on the screen that allows them to retrieve their allocated amount. Note: - The alert will appear to all of your characters for as long as you have funds left to retrieve. - After the funds are distributed, you have 14 days to retrieve them (if not retrieved, the funds are automatically deleted and cannot be recovered). - Retrieved funds are sent to the inventory of the character that receives them. - If you abandon your guild, any funds left to be retrieved will be automatically deleted and cannot be recovered.
Developer's Blog : 2024 July Planned Update
Greetings, Saviors! IMC Games here. Hope everyone's doing well despite the blazing heat of summer. We will be giving you a heads up on the update planned for July in this post. Starting from July update, you will be able to fight alongside Kupoles! We will be giving you a sneak peek of the Kupole system. You will see a new icon added on the bar below, as seen in the image. In the [Kupole Recruitment] tab, you can attempt to recruit Kupoles. The image below is an example of it. Goddess Saule have appeared! You can choose which Kupoles to accompany you in the [Kupole Management] tab. Accompanying Kupoles (by activating them on a slot in the right side of the UI) will participate in combat, and grant additional effects. Following image is the example of how Kupoles look like in the field. Five goddesses await the Saviors in the upcoming Kupole update. Although it is short, we hope this would help to alleviate some of the questions you all might have had about what's coming in the future. We are also planning to host an event to commemorate the Kupole update, so stay tuned! Please keep in mind all of the images are still in development and not the final representation of what will be coming into the game. Thank you.
The Lore You Know: Matador
The Matador is the star performer in bullfighting, using both a cape and sword to bring down a raging bull. This spectacle is one of the most well-known but also one of the most controversial customs of Spanish culture. However, today we will simply take a look at the history of the Matador -- to see how this practice came into existence and how the role of the Matador is reflected in our game. It’s possible that the first recorded bullfight may have been from the Epic of Gilgamesh, where Gilgamesh dreams that he and his friend Enkidu stalked and hunted the Bull of Heaven and offered its heart to the sun god, Shamash. This act was a form of bull worship and animal sacrifice common in Mesopotamia and the Mediterranean region and is where bullfighting can trace its roots. Then it was seen again in the amphitheaters of Rome, where there were many human verses animal events during the rule of Emperor Claudius as a substitution for the short-lived ban on gladiatorial combat. Later in Medieval Spain, bullfighting was seen as a noble sport reserved only for the rich. And, while Spanish colonist took the practice of breeding cattle to the American colonies, the Pacific and Asia, areas of southern and southwestern France developed their own style of bullfighting. The practice of fighting the bull on foot and with the flourishing of a cape and sword was developed by the matador, Francisco Romero, in Spain in 1726. During this time he introduced the world to the muleta, a stick with a red cloth hanging from it that is used during the third stage of bullfighting to hide the matador’s sword. The muleta is used to attract the bull through a series of passes. But it was the matador, Juan Belmonte, in 1914 who upped the ante and introduced the modern practice of skillfully using the muleta to get even closer to the bull’s horns than matadors before him had ever dared to do. From then on forward, matadors stopped using footwork to escape injury and risked their lives by letting the horns just barely glide past them as they directed the bull with the use of the muleta. Now it is important to note that the muleta is different from the capote. The capote is magenta on one side and yellow on the other. It weighs between seven and nine pounds and will stand upright like a pyramid when placed on the ground in the right way. As mentioned before, while the muleta is used during the final stages of the bullfight, the capote is used during the “opening passes” where the bull enters the arena and the matador teaches the bull to follow the cape. If the passes done by the matador impresses the crowd, they will be rewarded with shouts of "Ole!" Although bullfighting is controversial, it is still considered an art form, a tradition, and a highly ritualized cultural event. The matadors work to create an emotional connection with the audience and execute various formal moves during the fight that have not only meaning but also names that allude to the matador’s specific style and school of training. Bullfighting is indeed a spectacle and our Matador class entices us with their agile movements and impressive skills. References The Editors. 2006. Encyclopaedia Britannica. Juan Belmonte.
