Patch Notes for Hellbound

General Discussion Started Last reply 59 posts
I'm looking for the Patch Notes, but I don't see them. The "Latest Update" notes are considerably incomplete. Have they not been posted yet?
Yeah they forgot to add the link map for the other 13 pages :) But you can manually walk through them if you change the link manually -> hellbound_02, hellbound_03..html etc.!
They're being put up in a bit here. The reason they don't look complete yet is because they aren't. :p


The issue with required crafting materials for creating following S-grade weapons and armors being missing has been fixed. (The added crafting materials are High Quality Leather/Suede, Asope, and Compound Braid




High Quality Leather...? oO new mats or Crafted leather translated with google? :)



After you obtain the transformation sealbook through hunting, you can acquire the corresponding transformation skill from Avant-Garde, the Transformation Wizard



hunting what? elpys?
I got surprised by this:

The spellbooks that are required to learn level 40 through level 74 skills can now be purchased from the following merchant NPCs in newbie towns. (All spellbooks for the skills that you can learn without spending any SP will still need to be acquired from monsters.)

Human classes: Talking Island (Silvia)
Elf classes: Elven Village (Krimis)
Dark Elf classes: Dark Elven Village (Minares)
Orc classes: Orc Village (Wosca)
Dwarf classes: Dwarf Village (Mion)
Kamael classes: Kamael Village (Miflen)
All spellbooks for skills that are level 74 and below now have level requirement information to learn the skill.
*sighs* Time to npc my library.
What?

What? Wait... umm... Books are sold and not dropped anymore????

Eh?

-goes reading-

If so... Wow... -rushes to read-
yeah .. all under 75 spellbooks are available from npcs.
Yesterday, wm spellbooks went for 4m @ Franz, today they cost 9k from an npc :p
are they....no.....you dont think....?


>.>

<.<

(are they trying to lower inflation?)

epics actually :P, the nasty kind, and a few straying ones (look here: http://www.arktic.net/woj/transformation.shtml (http://www.arktic.net/woj/transformation.shtml )) shows them and where most of them come from + skills
they are probably just trying to lower user frustration ....
I earned alot of adena by hunting at spots where rare SBs drop and sell them in town for 2m...I was amazed of how many players are to lazy to go out and hunt for the SB them self, it doesn't take more than a day or 2 to get a SB you want as drop.
so I was confused by that comment about SBs too - and since I am not in game I can not check.

Does this mean that all Spellbooks are now available from the NPC? If so, that is a good thing (trying to get that hard book) and a bad thing (no more making money from the books that are a rare drop).

Yep! That's what I've been doing with the Soul Gathering books. Drops in the back of Worshippers, it's great exp, I was farming them with my Warlock, then with my Soul Breaker and selling for 1m each with my friend and splitting profit.

Time to NPC them all :)

But at least I can get my Voice Bind book without going to GC and hunting stupid Gamlins!
Yes ALL under 75 spellbooks except the spellbooks for the new for Hellbound skills (combo buffs/new song-dance) are sold at npc shops

Well, that wasn't my experience. I spent a whole two weeks and quite a lot of time in game when I was looking for the hurricaine spell book. Never got it as a drop. Of course that was back in C1 or C2.

However, recently I was in EV on my sub for several days and also noted that had I been looking for the hurricaine spellbook, I still wouldn't have gotten it.

I'm not saying that it should be changed but that my experience is that they don't drop as often as that.
Yes, all spellbooks are now available from npc's and NO its not a good thing for many of us. Spellbooks have been a good source of income for many of us and now we are reduced to npc'ing a large part of our inventory. Yes, it is good for others.

*grumpy, disgruntled BH*
Nevermind :P
this is the swap you main/sub event ^^

nice, way to ninja a new feature into the game... I wonder why this was left out of the PTS notes.......

grrrrr

Speaking of - anyone know where the combo books drop from?

silent valley mostly

ninja edit: and they are not spellbooks, they are scrolls, you dbl click on them and learn the skill, you dont take them to a skill trainer etc
OMG, you are kidding... dammnit. That is pretty stupid.
Unicode charmaps aren't available in Live client, though I can speak normal Russian at PTS. Is it alright? :/

Combo spells - Silent Valley. BD/SwS - IoP.
My client is stuck at "You are being logged in" screen, and nothing happens. I have my firewall tuned so it allows LA2 to gain Web access, but all I get now is nothing.

P.S. All was fine until this update... What did I do wrong?
you didnt wait long enough, the login server is not up yet. try again in 2 hrs
for the 10th time today...login server is offline...
The servers arent up yet. Thats what you did wrong.
Alright... I'll gather up my patience... ^_^
And, PLEASE, tell me, will I be able to use Unicode symbols (for example, Russian letters) while chatting?
I hope NO NO NO Unicode....
Hope not.

unicode still works in the login screen atleast so I think so
The PTS was set up for it, so I'd assume that unicode would come over to live as well.
Unicode sucks, hope they dont bring it over
are all servers back up and running?

entertaining post here LOL.
Uh... as always and as everywhere, same things. <_<
This thread is very funny and helps pass the time as I wait to get back in game, thanks to all for posting.
Well that frees up some 100+ inventory slots on my storage character :P
Regarding hunting spellbooks...

I spent a long time hunting for my spellbooks. Not one or two days; more like 7 days. They don't drop that well.

For me, I'm pretty happy they are selling them now. You'll find some other way to get money. :)
Most problems I've had had to do with getting spellbooks on my Bishop in Frozen Labyrinth... some of the really rare ones are difficult to get, especially as a solo Bishop of course.
I am happy as well. I am sure the "soulless" that farm them and sell them for 5mil each are a bit upset.
Yes. Froz Laby books are pretty rare drops. I soloed out there on my sub TH a lot and I think I got maybe 3 or 4 books the whole time I was there ... and Turn Undead has been selling recently for 4 mil on Bartz. Heh.
I have too many SB right now...probably a full of 4 characters inv and their WH store rooms. I could make some money yes...but it does not bother me at all. I just think that by hunting SBs we had a reason to grind except getting to next level which is kind of boring.
i'm watching skills from subs, and a question comes to me... i'm FS with 2 sub nuker...i only can pick up 1 time mana steal or anti magic? same for empo,acu,attack and focus?
yeah that was true, in like c3 ... but after c3 grinding for spellbooks became more boring than actually grinding ...

friend of mine spent a week trying to get aura symphony/blizzard etc sb from those group mobs outside oren, getting lousy xp (considering his alternative was VOS and the amazing xp there) so he was not happy

While you're at it, could we get complete patch notes for Chaotic Chronicle 1 through 5, Interlude and Chaotic Throne 1 as well?

Those currently online only mention at most 50% of the changes for each, and are in some cases simply wrong.
