The server will stay down for a fast maintenance at just after midnight tonight to apply the Christmas update. It shouldn't take too long, maybe 30 minutes max, so the server should be back online around 00:30.

CHRISTMAS
Christmas is almost upon us again and Terminus has been decorated and Marie has returned with her Christmas quests and goodies.

As well as the usual quests she also has a new one to hunt Christmas Shushus that rewards a sweet little Christmas title.

She also has a new reskinned Rudolph the Reindeer mount and the old one has been renamed back to Thousand Year Old Reindeer as it was before.

Christmas Shushu should now spawn much more frequently compared to last Christmas, and on more than one map at a time, and the Christmas Shushu boss will spawn independently of the normal Christmas Shushu too - so basically it should be much easier to find them.

More info on Christmas can be found here, including info on exp boosts during and leading up to the Christmas period.


TITLES
Several new titles have been added including the Christmas title mentioned above.

The elite Treants in Grand Wildwoods now have a chance to drop new titles that increase your damage to elite monsters and increase your Max HP.
Symbol of Spring
Symbol of Summer
Symbol of Autumn
Symbol of Winter

Two new limited editions are now available in the Moolah Store. Kitsune Frost and Kitsune Fire, both available in the usual Rage, Devoted or Agile type.



MOUNTS
A reskinned Rudolph the Reindeer is available to buy from Marie or the Moolah Store for 290 Moolah.



Two new griffon reskins are now available in the Moolah Store for 290 Moolah.



And a brand new Mad Hatter's Teacup mount is available in the Moolah Store for 490 Moolah or you can collect items in the Wonderland dungeon and hand them in at the Knave of Hearts NPC for a 100% Movement Speed, 1.5s cast time version with a slightly different skin. Check the Exchange Store of the Knave of Hearts for more info.



And finally, the Ice Cream Van is now available to buy from the Moolah Store but it is flawed for female Hybrids - they are simply too small to reach the steering wheel so they don't look great in this mount.




AUTO PILOT
A new item, Auto Pilot, is now available from the Moolah Store that will control your character for a set period of time, allowing you to set your character up to fight and loot monsters whilst you are away or doing something else.

3 bundles are available containing 1, 3 and 6 hour versions as well as a Blessed Potion II for the HP Absorb and some 50% HP potions.
Auto Pilot (1 hour)
Auto Pilot (3 hours)
Auto Pilot (6 hours)

It will use up to 4 of your skills to fight monsters as well as HP and MP potions to keep you alive and can automatically loot any dropped items.

The Auto Pilot interface:


You can drag 4 skills from the Skill Interface into the 4 empty skill slots along the top of the Auto Pilot interface. You should always use your Auto-Attack skill in the first slot and that is the default setting when you first open it. You can drag another 3 skills into the remaining slots. I would suggest using skills with the lowest cooldowns.

You can add HP and MP potions and set how low your HP or MP should be before using them. The options are 25, 50 or 75%.

You can set your Fight Speed to Slow or Fast - this is how quickly your character will move on to the next monster after killing a monster.

You can turn auto-looting on and off. If it's turned on, your character will automatically loot all dropped items until your inventory is full and then it will turn auto-looting off and continue without looting.

Tips:
Use the best potions you can afford and set the correct percentage to use them at - don't use a 50% HP Potion and set it to 75% otherwise you will waste half of your potion. Set it to 50%.

Don't Auto Pilot in areas with lots of Elites or monsters that bring their friends if your character can't handle them.

Autolooting works best with melee type characters - it works with ranged too but your character might not always loot an item if you killed the monster whilst it was quite far away from you. This is more apparent on characters with lots of additional +Range.

If you are going to use Auto Pilot to level your character, make sure you choose a map with a completely safe portal area. If you die you will eventually revive at the portal - so make sure your not going to get killed over and over by a nearby monster or players if it's a PK enabled map, and lose all your Exp.


MOOLAH CONSUMABLES
Most of the Moolah potions and scrolls including Monster EXP, SXP, EXP/SXP, Quest EXP/SXP, Lucky Loot Charm, Gold Enchantment, Battlefield Booster, Reputation Booster have been reduced in price by around 50% or more and the duration reduced to 3 hours. This should make them much more affordable and less wasteful since not many farm for 12 straight hours anyway

Blessed Potion I and II prices have been slashed by 50%.


NEW STAT
You can now see your Crit Damage multiplier in the Hero window under the Physical and Magical sections. The default multiplier for all classes is 150%, meaning you do 150% damage when one of your skills crits. You will soon be able to increase this multiplier by obtaining new items with the new Crit Damage % stat on them.


FIXES
Fixed an issue with not being able to learn certain Alchemy recipes including enhancement recipes. Sorry for the mess with alchemy recipes guys, I hope this is finally sorted now.

The cooking recipes that require Cacti Flower were using a different Cacti Flower that is unobtainable - they now use the correct Cacti Flower that drops from the Cacti monsters in Sand Storm Desert.

Soul Blader skill Tempest Slice 2 corrected to require Tempest Slash 2 as a prerequisite, not Chilled Slash 2.
Soul Blader skill Chilled Slash 2 cooldown reduced to 5s, the same as Chilled Slash 1.

Fixed texture conflicts between Blue and Yellow Jet titles and the recently added cat backpacks.

Fixed display of Silk Cap of Repentance for Human female characters.
