[CLOSED] Piece Back Mission
Greetings, Saviors! The demons are carrying out a new plan to rob humans of the divine energy that protects them. Hundreds of stolen Goddess Sculptures are now in the hands of the monsters, but the Kingdom is fighting back. Each city is recruiting fearless adventurers to recover the sculptures' broken pieces and restore their power. Join the mission and be rewarded with the grace of the goddesses! Event Period FROM the scheduled maintenance on August 16, 2017 TO the scheduled maintenance on September 5, 2017 Who Can Participate - Characters of level 50 and above How to Participate STEP 1. Head over to your nearest Event Notice Board and select the city you wish to join. You can choose between Klaipeda, Orsha and Fedimian. - You can select one city per week (you can reset it every Tuesday). It can be the same or a different city each week. - Your selected city will apply to all your characters. - Once selected, you cannot change your city for the week. STEP 2. With your city selected, it's time to defeat the monsters and retrieve the pieces of the Goddess Sculptures. There are four types of pieces to collect, and the city you join determines which types you can get from monsters. Klaipeda: Goddess Sculpture Head Orsha: Goddess Sculpture Torso Fedimian: Goddess Sculpture Legs Common to all cities: Goddess Sculpture Wings - Only players who have selected a city will be able to obtain Goddess Sculpture pieces from defeated monsters. - The pieces can be obtained from any monster in the game. - The pieces are tradable exclusively through the Market (they can't be traded 1:1 nor moved to your Team Storage). STEP 3. Collect all four sculpture pieces and obtain a Recipe from your nearest Event Notice Board to craft a Restored Goddess Sculpture. - You can obtain one recipe per hour, and up to 6 per day (counted from the time you receive the first recipe). - Use the command '/time' to check how much time is left until you can receive another recipe. - The recipe is character-bound, meaning you cannot trade it or move it to your Team Storage. Make sure to retrieve it with the right character. STEP 4. Use the Restored Goddess Sculpture crafted from the pieces to select one of two rewards: Goddess Sculpture (14 Days) OR Golden Chest of Grace. - The Goddess Sculpture (14 Days) offers a buff of increased HP/SP recovery, max. HP, movement speed and EXP gains. - The Golden Chest of Grace contains one of 9 random reward items (see the section below). Golden Chest of Grace Rewards Use the Golden Chest of Grace to receive one of the prizes below! - Ice Pack - Silver Anvil (14 Days) - Superior Gem Abrasive: 14 Days - 500 Attribute Points - Instanced Dungeon Multiply Token (14 Days) - Instanced Dungeon One Entry Voucher (14 Days) - Warp Scroll (14 Days) - Fortune Cookie - Keista Restoration Potion Lv2 Important - Goddess Sculpture pieces, Restored Goddess Sculptures, Recipes and Golden Chests of Grace obtained during the event will be automatically deleted at the end of the event period. Make sure to use any you may have kept before then. - Restored Goddess Sculptures can be moved via Team Storage, but are otherwise untradable. - Golden Chests of Grace and Recipes obtained from this event are character-bound and untradable. - Goddess Sculpture pieces cannot be obtained from monsters 21 levels or more below your own character's level. - Each individual monster drops a single Goddess Sculpture piece, although the pieces are influenced by skills like Reincarnate and Pillaging (eg. using Reincarnate can give you another chance of obtaining a piece).

Character Rank 10: A New Journey Pt. 1
Greetings, Saviors! It’s your dev team here, and today we’re super excited to bring you guys a preview of what we have prepared for the next Character Rank expansion. Let’s go! First, as you can probably guess, we will be expanding the current maximum character level of 360 to 390, which will come with a whole new series of main scenarios and subquests. And, of course, the current maximum Character Rank will be expanded from Rank 9 to Rank 10. A New Journey In this new adventure, you find yourself searching for the next Revelation at the Starlit Lake. At the lake you meet Byle, who is commanding a resistance army against the Schaffenstar. Your destiny guides you as you help Byle’s army chase their leader – the elusive Ignas – in a story that will forever change the fate of the Astral Tower. In another scenario, you unravel the horrific story of a group of Kupoles that have been abducted by demons to serve as sacrifices for the Divine Tree. But that’s not all… Nicopolis, city of the forgotten Wizard Union. Ages ago, a dangerous magic experiment exterminated all of the city’s inhabitants, leaving it deserted ever since. Now, a nefarious spirit awakened by Medzio Diena threatens to break loose in the region, and it’s your duty to help Owynia Dilben stop it before the worst happens. Content Update Just like before, you’ll be able to enter the Challenge Mode in the new level 360-390 field maps, which will also be complemented with new Hunting Grounds. Daily quest fields current set to ranges of -10 to +10 will be expanded to a range of -20 to +10 levels (30 levels of range in total). For characters above level 380, the 30-level range is maintained by adjusting the range downwards, as shown in the table below. Character Level Daily Quest Field Levels BEFORE Daily Quest Field Levels AFTER 360 350 – 370 340 – 370 370 360 – 380 350 – 380 380 370 – 390 360 – 390 385 375 – 390 360 – 390 390 380 – 390 360 – 390 As the maximum character level is expanded to 390, so are the requirements to obtain the additional Attribute Points coupon from weekend (Friday to Sunday) daily quests. TIP. Daily quest rewards change according to the day of the week (server time). Monday to Thursday: [Lv] x 400 Silver (156,000 Silver at Lv 390) x 2 times Friday to Sunday: 100 Attribute Points x 2 (x 3 at Lv 390) x 2 times As is usual, after the Character Rank expansion we will be introducing a new instanced dungeon to the Rank 9 level range (330-360). In the Lanko Lake Dungeon you can comfortably level up your characters and earn some extra Silver from levels 330 to 360 with no penalty. TIP. The amount of EXP and Silver you get from instanced dungeons depends on the difference of your character level from the dungeon’s recommended level. Up to 30 levels under or above the dungeon’s: 100% of the rewards More than 30 levels under or above the dungeon’s: -2% penalty per level (no rewards starting at 80 levels of difference) NEW Random Stat Golden Category With the introduction of new fields and Hunting Grounds you will be able to farm unidentified Lv 380 equipment items. This time, we’re adding a new random stat category represented by the color gold, which will include effects rarely seen in the current red, blue, purple and green-category stats. Each item, regardless of grade, will generate a maximum of only one golden stat (this applies to newly-obtained items of Lv 350 and below as well). One thing to note is that, even if you collect the same golden stat in multiple items, the stat’s effects will not stack. Instead, the stat will apply only the highest value among its different iterations. For example, if you have a weapon with a golden stat of critical chance +12% and a pair of boots with a golden stat of critical chance +8%, equipping both will result in an effect of critical chance +12%. Plus, unlike other stats, golden-category stats do not change in type or value when an item is re-identified. On the other hand, golden stats will also be included when an Ichor is extracted. Ichors containing extracted stats can be added to items of a lower level. This means that you will be able to add Ichors extracted from Lv 380 equipment into Lv 360 Legend gear (Velcoffer series). Lastly, with this update we will be exempting Legend items from the additional cost currently required for adding Ichor stats, i.e. Blessed Shards and Sierra Powder. What do you think? If you’re curious to know what else we have up our sleeves, make sure to stick around for part 2 of this post, where we will talk about all the new Rank 8 Circle 3 skills and attributes!

Token Price Reduction and Compensation Details
Greetings, Saviors! As previously announced, during today’s weekly maintenance the price of TP Shop Tokens (30 days) was reduced from 198 TP to 99 TP, and we will be compensating those using or possessing Tokens at the time of the price reduction. We would like to remind you of the details and conditions of this compensation, so make sure to read and understand the information below. 1. Teams Eligible for TP Compensation A. Those using one or more 30-day Tokens at the time of the price reduction B. Those possessing one or more unused 30-day Tokens at the time of the price reduction > Note: TP compensation will not apply to Event Tokens such as 60, 15 and 7-day Tokens. 2. Compensation Items A. 99 TP per each Token being used by the team at the time of the price reduction B. 99 TP per each Token possessed by the team at the time of the price reduction > Note: TP compensation will be provided on a per-team, per-Token basis and sent directly to the inventory of each eligible team. 3. Additional Token Time Extension A. and B. Besides the TP compensation mentioned above, all Tokens being used at the time of the price reduction will receive an extension of 7 days. Unlike the TP compensation, time extension will apply to all Tokens being used at the time of the price reduction, including Event Tokens such as 60, 15 and 7-day Tokens. > Note: the 7-day extension will apply once per team with one or more active Tokens, i.e. multiple active Tokens will not grant your team multiple time extensions. 4. Conditions – IMPORTANT > TP compensation only applies to 30-day Tokens: TP compensation will be provided only to teams owning and/or using non-event 30-day Tokens. Owning and/or using Event Tokens such as 60, 15 or 7-day Tokens will not grant you any form of TP compensation. > All 30-day Tokens count, regardless of how they were obtained: All non-event 30-day Tokens owned and/or being used by a team will make that team eligible for compensation, regardless of how the Tokens were obtained: purchased on the TP Shop, retrieved from the Market, obtained via a Veteran's Pack DLC, etc. > All 30 day Tokens count, regardless of where they're being kept: All unused non-event 30-day Tokens owned by a team will make that team eligible for compensation, regardless of where the owning team is keeping them: one character's personal inventory, Team Storage, Retrieve tab on the Market, contained in an unopened Veteran's Pack DLC in the team's Message Box, etc. > Compensation provided per Token, per team: Both TP compensation and Token time extension will be provided on a per-Token, per-team basis. This means that, if you are using or own multiple Tokens within your team, that team will receive compensation for each Token being used and each Token owned. For example, if you have a team that’s using a Token, and then character A owns an unused 30-day Token and character B owns another unused 30-day Token, your team will receive: A) seven-day extension on the Token being used by the team, and B) total of 297 TP = 99 TP for the one Token currently being used + 198 TP for the two unused Tokens owned by the team (99 TP for character A’s and 99 TP for character B’s). > Time of the price reduction: Compensation applies only to teams owning and/or using Tokens at the time of the price reduction, defined as June 7, 2016 at EDT 01:00 AM (start of today’s weekly maintenance period). If you sold a Token or its time expired before the start of today’s maintenance, that Token will not make your team eligible for compensation. > TP sent directly to inventory: TP compensation will be sent directly to the inventory of each eligible team.
Combat System Changes Dossier Pt. 1
Greetings, Saviors! Following up on our QnA sessions about the ‘Plans for Combat System Changes’, this time we would like to create a series of posts with more detailed information on each aspect of the changes. Today, the topic we're discussing relates to a few specifics on how the new calculation formulas are going to affect the way combat is played in TOS. Other topics we have in mind for the next posts are subjects like the use of stats, skill factors, item changes and other updates. 1. What main differences will we see in TOS when the big changes are applied? In a nutshell, starting with the new combat system formulas, you’ll be getting revised character stats (in terms of both how they’re used and how they’re calculated), improved item stats and transcendence/enhancement systems, readjusted monster hunting difficulties and many other changes which will serve as guidelines to future dev improvements. 2. What’s the advantage of the new combat calculation formulas compared to our current ones? Our current [attack - defense] formula may be easier to understand, but in a game like TOS where you have several different types of classes, customizable basic stats and two types of attack and defense (physical/magic), it’s not so straightforward. When a game like this allows for such a wide range of character development and customization but the attack/defense values of items, monsters, etc. are fixed, it’s inevitable to come across certain limitations, and we (as well as our players) have certainly started to feel those limitations. That is why, if we’re going to consider future content updates, we need a formula that can take all these values and produce fairly balanced results no matter the stage of development of your character. That’s what we intend to achieve with the new combat calculation formulas (we ended up dwelling on this topic a little more specifically in topic no. 3, so do keep reading). 3. Can you give an example of how the new combat calculation formulas are going to work? Below is the new formula we’re using for calculating damage: damage = (% increase factor) x attack x min {1, log10 ((attack / (defense + 1))^0.8 + 1)} + (+ increase) 0.8 is the number we previously introduced as 0.x min is there to ensure that the applied attack value calculated via defense does not exceed 1 % increase factor refers to skills and other factors that increase attack on a percentage + increase refers to additional damage (+) from sources like property damage Now let’s calculate an example case of attack 1000 and defense 800. A = attack / (defense +1) = 1.248 (1 is added to defense so as to not divide any number by 0) B = A^0.8 + 1 = 2.19 C = min (1, log10 B) = 0.341 (min limits the maximum value of C to 1) This C value is a ratio applied according to the attack value, which makes D = attack x % factor x C + additional damage = 341 Here are a few examples of what the damage value would amount to according to different attack and defense values (assuming a % factor of 1.00 and a + increase of 0), under the new calculation formula: As you can see, with this formula, when attack and defense are the same value, the damage amounts to 30% of that number. The higher the defense, the lower the proportional damage; and vice versa. If the defense is 0, the damage will be the same value as the attack. For the sake of comparison, and to add a little to topic no. 2 of this post, here are the same calculations performed under the current formula (again, assuming a % factor of 1.00 and a + increase of 0). Here, with the [attack - defense] formula applied, investing enough in defense can make you virtually invincible. Some monsters compensated for this by upping their attack, which allowed them to deal some pretty nasty blows to your average player. As we explained before, this hindered many players wanting to quest or solo in Rank 8 fields or enjoy endgame contents like Earth Tower and, on the other hand, produced very extreme attack-defense proportions. We hope these examples help demonstrate how the new combat formulas can help players with different character builds experience a variety of contents more comfortably, which really is what we’re aiming for when applying these changes. 4. How will the new changes affect monsters under my character’s level in particular? For normal-grade field monsters 50 levels under the player’s, a virtual equipment factor is applied to maintain an attack reduction ratio of about 40% to 60%. This factor is applied at an even higher degree in special monsters like giant Hunting Ground monsters, elite or boss monsters. 5. Will the new changes make me invest more in defense? It depends on your circumstances. You can make your attack higher than your defense by investing in stats (STR/INT), but if the attack and defense values you get from items are similar, considering the significant attack increase you get according to your defense value, there won’t be that many contents demanding very high degrees of defense. Because of this, you can get fairly good results in regular fields, Hunting Grounds and instanced dungeons with moderate attack and some Heal or HP potions. On the other hand, the feedback you get from seriously investing in defense becomes more important in Earth Tower and other high-end PvE contents, as well as in PvP situations where it’s hard to estimate the attack of your opponent.
