I recently started L2 again after nearly 3 1/2 years of inactivity and there have been quite a few changes to the game. The Vitality Bonus reminds me of the rest exp from WoW and the buff items that drop from monsters seems to make solo'ing much more friendly. Are these two additions consistent throughout the game or just at the beginning? What other changes have been made to the game that I might not notice yet?
I did notice there is a new Race available but I'm still sticking with my Dark Elf, lol.
Herbs are consistent in open field hunting areas through pretty much any level. Vitality is also present through all the levels, although I have read it burns out fast at high levels. Newbie buffs last until 61 or 62 I think, shadow weapon coupons for D grade and I think C grade also. Ummm.... oh yea free GK ports until 41. For anything else I suppose the more experienced here will have to chime in.
most of the new stuff is high lvl so it won't really matter that you didn't know about it
make sure to check out the palioka and koala which are instanced dungeons and can get you quite a bit of xp
