A reward you can count on

The daily hunt reward - drops are luck; this is not. Every day the server counts the monsters you kill and pays a Meteor for every 500 (up to ten) and a DragonBall at 5,000 - guaranteed, at every level, on any ordinary monster. The count belongs to you the person, not the character: accounts from one household share one tally and one set of prizes. Type /daily to see where you stand. It resets at midnight, Warsaw time.

Newbie Help blesses your attack for two hours, as often as you like. Until level 70 his Stigma (+50% attack) now lasts two hours, survives a relog and ends only when the time runs out or you die - and you can come back for it whenever it lapses. The two hours of double experience stay once a day. See the first hour.

Trading works whatever order you click in. The trade window froze when one side clicked OK before the other had confirmed money or added an item. The rule is now what you would expect: whoever gives silver or CPs confirms the amount, the other side just clicks OK, and an exchange of items alone needs OK from both and nothing more.

Snow reaches less, and fires more often as it levels. The wand's cleave now covers 4 cells around the target at its first five levels and 5 at the last five (it was 6 at every level), and its chance to go off now grows with its level - one hit in five at the first level, up to two in five at the last (it was two in five throughout). Its damage is unchanged.

Newbie Help offers every weapon. A Trojan or Warrior opening a level package now chooses from all fifteen weapon families - blade, sword, hook, whip, axe, hammer, club, scepter, dagger, glaive, poleaxe, longhammer, spear, wand and halbert, six to a page - and a Taoist chooses between the backsword and the wand. See the level packages.

The online counter shows from five players. The homepage and the launcher print the number of people in the realm once there are five; below that they simply say the servers are up.

The Wandering Guide has left Twin City for now; every road he offered is still walked the ordinary way.
