This is the first part of planned updates for RISEN servers. Currently all updates are available only on the x20 OBT server. They will be implemented on x15 later, after testing and fixing all issues.
What's New?
- Client Stability: Implemented a special module for cache cleanup and improved client stability. FPS drops during prolonged farming are eliminated - the client automatically updates cache. All processes happen seamlessly for players. (Available from April 4)
- Updated rebirth requirements. (All rebirths are free during OBT)
- Added 97 quests to the "Regular" category. Old quests from this category were removed. Rewards include: EXP, drop, spoil and adena scrolls (+20% for 1 and 5 hours). New quests provide more farming variety and make standard quests more relevant. Quests are optional but now actually worthwhile.
- Added costumes with stats. Stats can be extracted from costumes, similar to sets. 9 costumes implemented. Acquisition method can be learned from Duncan. The list will be expanded.
Knowledge Points/Talents
- A new "Knowledge Points" section added to the quest window. "Art of Gnomes" talent tree added.
- Mechanics: Knowledge Points represent a global modification where players can earn points to unlock new skills that enhance characters, increase rates, add visual effects or other benefits.
- Currently implemented for the gnome race. What knowledge is fundamental for gnomes? Recipes, resources and gathering.
- Study specified recipes from NG to S grade to earn special points. Unlock special skills from NG to S grade in the "Art of Gnomes" talent tree.
- Upgrade skills using classic resources. Higher grades require more valuable resources. For example: recipes for level 1 unlock "Leather Workshop" skill requiring level 1 resources. Level 2 recipes require level 2 resources.
