Episode U

Finally... I can post my last adventures in the new content we recently had. I'll first start with the stats reroll. There were so many combinations possible for my Elf and Mage! I went to test server to see what would be best for me. I was wondering if I should still have Str on Meph.. since I heard spells were going to take less mana and do more damage. Well I ended up with 13 Str, 16 Con, 18 Int and 13 Wis base. Weird stats huh? well o.o in the base stats bonus table, I found out, 13 Str would give me +2 hit and +2 dmg to melee and since I like hunting with a staff, I wanted those bonuses :P and I would still have more HP than I had before and 18 Int base. Only downside is my mana... at least I added to Wisdom from level 51 to 59 for the MR bonus because I wanted cancel proof for pvp and extra MP reggain with mana pots :D I also added 3 points in Str and I had 2 Elixirs, I used them in Int.

This is my mage wearing melee set, PG, Staff of Force + Str/Dex spells and AS, total of -71 AC buffed.

I was using my Int/reggain set, Merk Cap, Lich Robe, Reaper Hand, Int T-Shirt and DE sandals, maximum of -45 AC with Shield spell and Bless Armor.

For S1nMaster, I really had no clue what to do. I was a full Wis Elf before updates and I liked it but since I had the opportunity to change my stats to whatever I wanted, I decided to try something different. I tried a Dex elf on test and I was surprised by their killing speed. I thought a Dex/Int elf could be a good combo for anywhere. So I did, 17 Dex and 14 Int base. I went for Int base for the magic accuracy and the spell critical % over the -1 AC from 18 Dex. I added 1 point in Dex at lvl 51 for the AC bonus and I will go full Int from now :)

That time, I was using Bless of Elm and Int amulet and also had Str/Dex spell casted :) Lvl 52 is gonna rock with new poly and 16 Int o_o!

For ZenSworD, I only had 1 choice. Since I use Devil's Knife, I lose 7 hp every 2-3 seconds so being 18 Con base with the stats renewal would give me 4 more hp reggain and over 900 hp at lvl 53 so I decided to stay Con on my prince :P It kinda suck because all the other melee classes hurt a lot more, most of them went full Str base =/ oh well, I'm used to be weak o_o!

Nothing particular on Zen, just PG and Str amulet :P I had Str/Dex on as well!

I won't talk about the new mini-games, I'm not a big fan of those ones q_q but I gotta admit the new Death Matches are interesting. At least we still make exp and cash and it's possible to make a Seal of Victory from the Hero's Marks. You will receive a total of 25 Hero's Marks by killing the 3 bosses inside the DM and it requires 500 Marks to make the Seal. I think I was one of the first players to do the new DMs after updates. I remember we were only 4 peoples to participate at the Werldern DM lol but we stood untill the end :P We didn't know we had to kill the Bosses to receive the marks.. oh well still fun to see his name on the ranks board o.o!

Now for the new hunting areas, we went to Ice Queen Castle and Ant Caves. It is a lot harder now... in IQ Dungeon 2-3F , you must need at least 3-4 persons to go with you, the IQ Royal Guards hurt o_o but they can also drop good sometimes :P

We found the new version of Ice Queen, she looks nice and she is so MUCH easier to find her now lol.. just really hard or almost impossible to get to her alone, you gotta kill plenty of guards. So we killed her and the drops weren't so bad.

We also visited the new Ant Caves. I gotta say, it's pretty amazing to hunt down there. Spawn is awesome, exp is decent and the drops can be good from hatching eggs but I didn't see Ant Queen yet =/ but anyway here is a picture to proove what I said earlier about the good spawn o.o

So in overall, I think Episode U is cool. I really enjoy my new stats and I like those 2 new places. More peoples will go to the DMs and to the Sieges also, since you don't lose % anymore when you die. Wizards are fun to play now since most spells take less mana to cast but few of them like MS, Fire Storm and EQ has a longer delay than before, it kinda suck. And the worst thing about the new Episode is probably the new death penalty... 4.5% loss on deaths is fucking gay... I only died once but it was due to lag and I don't feel like spending my money for buy-back. Anyway, I hope they will change it one day but for now, I'm being careful :)
