The server will be down for an update and maintenance at 18:15 server time. It will be down for approximately 30-60 minutes.


CHRISTMAS
Terminus has been redecorated for Christmas. Marie is in town with her usual Christmas dailies and the Christmas Shushu has been spotted roaming Arcana's snowy locations and even the dungeons.

This year Marie also has an Exchange store stocked with 6 different Christmas pets. You will need to gather enough pet summoning pieces for the pet you want by defeating the Christmas Shushus and also a few Santa's Rewards from Marie's daily quests.


CHRISTMAS BUFFS
All players will receive a random Christmas buff with a 30m duration whenever a Christmas Dungeon Shushu monster is defeated. Dungeon Shushu's appear at the end of all IDQ and level 85 dungeons after the last boss has been defeated. Buffs include boosts to EXP, SXP, Drops, Money, Battlefield Points, HP, MP, All Stats, Defense, Crit, Attack, Speed, Range, Monster Damage, PvP Damage and MP Drain. You can have up to 15 of these buffs active at any one time.

Full info on Christmas events is here.


DUNGEON
Hall of Elements
Brand new Vortex style dungeon for solo players (or pets) that can be entered 3 times per day. You can read about it here.


TITLES
Two new titles, Mech Red and Mech Blue, both in Rage/Agile/Devoted variations can be found for sale on the Moolah Mall.


PETS
6 new pets added for Christmas. These can be obtained by exchanging Pet Summoning Pieces and Santa's Rewards at Marie's Christmas exchange store.

Added Pet Summoning Pieces for Christmas pets to Christmas Shushu, Christmas Shushu Boss and Christmas Dungeon Shushu droplists.

Added 20% and 30% Pet Foods that grant 20%/30% Loyalty and Heal to your pet. These can be obtained from the new solo dungeon Hall of Elements.

Fixed a minor issue with the pet unit frame HP bar showing texture artifacts.


GUILD
Guild Union Chat
Players in guilds with unions can now type /u or select the yellow U chat filter to chat with members of their guild unions. Please be aware that any union chat will be seen by all union members - you cannot filter it to a specific union if your guild has more than one so you might see some confusing one-sided conversations when somebody in your union is speaking to another guild that your guild does not have union with.

Fixed the positioning of guild level in the guild interface.


SALES AGENT
Players can now search for items on the Sales Agent without selecting a category. When no category is selected, all categories will be searched.


DAILY GIFT
The Daily Gift has been reenabled and is available to level 65 and above players.


BATTLEFIELD
Fixed the battlefield AFK reporting feature so that reported players receive a Battlefield Bad Conduct debuff preventing them from entering another battlefield for 1 hour.

The Battlefield Deserter debuff that is applied to players that leave a battlefield before it has ended (including disconnections) had it's duration reduced to 30 minutes.


QUIZ
Fixed an issue that caused the client to crash if you attempted to log in with a character that was previously participating in the quiz, ie if you disconnected during the quiz or decided to relog whilst the quiz was still running. Please note that if you disconnect or relog during the quiz, you will not be able to continue the quiz when you log back in but your previous answers and score will still count when the quiz finishes and you will still receive any rewards due.


ITEMS
Removed wearing cards from Vortex/Snow Mountain drop tables.

Updated the textures for the Yellow Jet title. The jet casing is now black and the jet fire visual no longer flickers between blue and yellow, but remains yellow.
