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.

Dev Interview: Legend Cards
Greetings, Saviors! In a previous roadmap post, our devs talked about a new type of cards – called the Legend Boss Cards – that are being developed for the middle slot in the card equip system. We were curious to see how this feature was looking so far and what we could expect when it finally comes out in the game, so we took some time to test it out with the developer in charge. <Card equip window showing a Legend Card with +10 movement speed. Nice.> Staff: It looks like your plans for the Legend Card feature are coming along really well! Though, looking at how these new cards are being referred to, I noticed you’re not calling them “Legend Monster Cards” anymore, but only “Legend Cards”. Are you worried that players might confuse them for cards with legendary monsters in them, or…? Dev: Actually, we decided to call them that because there’s a chance we might want to make Legend Cards out of TOS characters that aren’t monsters. Staff: Gasp! Do you mean human NPCs? Maybe even… villains? Like this one? Dev: Well… I’m a big fan of Giltine myself, so I can’t say it hasn’t crossed my mind. Staff: Sweet. Moving on to another topic, last December during the Rank update we got new quest lines and a new Revelation thrown into the lore of TOS. It also seems like the quest to unlock the Legend Card slot is going to connect to the Revelations. I’m just wondering: where does it end? I see myself playing TOS for many years to come (☆ TOS 4EVER ☆) so I’m worried that we’ll never see the end of all these Revelations. Are you going to continue adding new Legend Card quests as well? Dev: The Legend Card unlock quest will only deal with Revelations introduced up to the point when the feature is first released. Staff: So that is the first and last time Legend Cards and Revelation quests will ever be related? Dev: I can’t really talk about what’s going to happen to the story in the future, so… Staff: Right, spoilers. Well, I had a look at the list of cards you’re planning to add and I saw a lot of familiar names. Apart from the “Powerful Kugheri Balzermancer” and the “Pantorex”, they were all Monster Cards we already have in the game. Does that mean these cards have a regular version and a Legend version? Dev: Yes. The regular cards are going to have the same stats they do now; the new ones are going to have more. The difference is that the regular cards will be available from Mercenary Post missions and Card Albums. Also, if you summon a monster from a Legend Card instead of a regular demon card, your summon will be bigger and the visual effects will be different. <Summoning with a Boss Card.> <Summoning with a Legend Card.> Staff: Cool. Looking at the stats of the new Legend Cards, it seems like there’s a big difference in what stats these cards have depending on where you get them. Is that meant to reflect the difficulty of the different game features from where the Legend Cards drop? Dev: Correct. Legend Cards obtained from more difficult game features will come with juicier stats. The Powerful Kugheri Balzermancer, for example, is a card you can get from the Unique raid dungeon. Unlike other places that drop Legend Cards, this dungeon has no competitive component and it has a lower degree of entrance restrictions. In this context, we’ll be increasing the competitive factor of field bosses and upping their difficulty level in order to boost the chances of acquiring Legend Cards. The Pantorex monster from guild quests is also going to see an increase in difficulty. Staff: So I was right. But there’s something I’m really curious about. How many cards do you need to get a Legend Card to Lv 10? Dev: Legend Cards are going to increase levels via card enhancement, a system different from traditional card synthesis. The reason we chose this was that, although combining cards is a safer mechanism, it requires large amounts of fodder to reach maximum level. Applying the exact same method to Legend Cards would make it way too tiring for players to boost up them up, so we added a shortcut process that lets you get to your target level faster with a bit of luck. Staff: When I was testing the card enhancement, I noticed that you can only use 4 other cards to enhance a Legend Card, though. And even with four Lv 10 Legend Cards as fodder, the chance of success from 3 to 4 stars still wasn’t 100%. Why is that? Is there no way to get 100% chance of enhancement with Legend Cards? Dev: That’s the shortcut process I was talking about. We realize that some players – like yourself – will still prefer the original card combination method, so we created another mechanism that lets you use high-grade, high-level cards to achieve 100% chances of enhancement. Under this mechanism, using other Legend Cards or enhancement cards designed specifically for Legends guarantees that your card gets another star. <Legend Card with 100% chance of enhancement.> Staff: I see, that’s a relief. I’d rather go the safe route, even if it takes a little longer. It looks like you can also increase the star level of Legend Enhancing Cards by combining them with other cards; is that right? How does that work? Dev: That’s right. You can feed regular cards to a Legend Enhancing Card via the normal card combination process to increase its star level. As you can probably guess, Legend Enhancing Cards are used to enhance Legend Cards only. The chances of success when using a Legend Enhancing Card as fodder are up to 5 times higher when compared to regular cards, so they’re something to keep in mind if you want to play safe. <You can increase the star level of a Legend Enhancing Card by combining it with other cards.> Staff: Alright! Those are all the questions I had for you today. Thank you very much for your time and for letting us play around with this new feature. I can’t wait for it to come out. Dev: No problem! I’m looking forward to what our players have to say about it too.

February 2018 Limited Edition Golden Pup
Greetings Saviors, It’s no secret that our Developers have been working on a new doggy companion, but what you may not have known is that we will be releasing not only Goro, but also a new limited edition Golden Pup that will be available from the Goddess' Blessed Cube in February. This Golden Pup was created to celebrate the fact that this year is the Year of the Dog. Or, more precisely, the Year of the “Golden” Dog. For those of our players who are already familiar with the Lunar Calendar and the Chinese Zodiac, this will not come as a surprise. But for everyone else, this year, starting on February 16th is the Year of the Golden Dog. How was this decided? Well, to number the years, one system used in conjunction with the Lunar Calendar is the Stem-and-Branches system. The Stem-and-Branches system is a cycle of sixty terms used for telling time in traditional East Asian culture. These terms consist of two Chinese characters paired up according to their yin and yang. So the term for this year can be translated into Golden Dog. This then means that we can call 2018 the Year of the Golden Dog, a designation that comes around only once every sixty years. To celebrate this special event we will be offering a limited edition companion named, Golden Pup to help ring-in the year. Who wouldn't want to start the year of the royal doggo with a royal doggo of their own? Don't forget that this 2018 limited edition Golden Pup will be available from the Goddess' Blessed Cube in February! We hope you will look forward to his arrival as we all move to celebrate the Lunar New Year!
