    There was a brief server check today. The following things were changed either before or during the server check.

    1) Gachapon

    The following items have been removed from gachapon:
    • Brown work gloves
    • Pink Adventurer Capes
    • Pink Gaia Capes
    • Purple Adventurer Capes
    • Purple Gaia Capes
    • White Scrolls
    • Chaos Scrolls

    The following items have been added to gachapon:
    • Gullivera Coins
    • Crushed Skull
    • Elemental Wand 1
    • Elemental Wand 4
    • Elemental Staff 6
    • Elemental Staff 8

    2) Vending Machine NPC
    • A Vending Machine NPC is located in the NLC Subway station where you can exchange Gullivera Coins for the following items:
      White Scroll - 120 Coins
      Chaos Scroll - 100 Coins
      Brown Work Glove - 100 Coins
      Pink Gaia Cape - 100 Coins
      Purple Gaia Cape - [STRIKE=""]100 Coins[/STRIKE] 80 Coins
      Pink Adventurer Cape - 80 Coins
      Purple Adventurer Cape - [STRIKE=""]80 Coins[/STRIKE] 100 Coins
      AP Reset - 5 Coins
    • You can also purchase Gullivera Coins if you are desperate for [STRIKE=""]10m mesos[/STRIKE] 5m mesos each.
    • Gullivera Coins can be found from Gachapon, Bosses, and soon from PQ's.

    3) Bosses
    • Zakum has been restricted to 2 times per 24 hours.
    • Lots of bosses now have a higher chance of dropping NX, W.ATT & M.ATT potions.
    • Higher levelled bosses also drop Gullivera Coins.

    Can I make one small suggestion here?

    The price of Purple Gaia and Purple Adventurer capes should be the other way round, as Purple Adventurer capes, unlike their pink counterparts, have higher average attack stats than the Purple Gaia capes.

    (Avg Purple Adventurer Cape gives 7 magic atk; avg Purple Gaia Cape gives 6 magic atk.)

    I have my rage shield up for this thread... However I think all the changes are for the best interest of the server and it's economy. They may be tweaked of course depending on how things go.

    I totally didn't realise that. I'll probably change it then! But tomorrow because I'm too tired at the moment.

    As like all gachapon rewards I cannot share that information with you unfortunately.

    The plan is to make some items go up in price. But remember that the coins are also available from bosses and will be from pq's also. This will probably not happen quickly though due to the amount of items which are already floating around in peoples inventories.

    As a suggestion, I feel like you should leave bwgs in the gach, and take scgs and facestompers out and put into this new system for like 150 each?

    I can see why these changes have been made, and I think it probably is for the best, as a lot of the items which have been removed have become far too commonplace, and in the case of Pink Adv/Gaia Capes and BWGS, virtually worthless.

    The only problem I can see with this is that players who currently have a sizeable collection of the removed items will, for a while at least, have a hefty economic advantage over new players. Obviously, things will even out over time, but things might be a little unbalanced for a while.

    One future suggestion I'd like to make for Gachapon would be re-adding eye accessories of whatever description, as I haven't seen any clean Raccoon masks in a while.

    Are these items still elligable to get 'godly' stats?


    EDIT;

    On a side note, can we make these coins tradable in-case we just need mesos, and these coins are the only good stuff we can get from gacha?

    glad I gacha'ed most of my items before this change/white scrolled my weapon, lel to the others.
    I agree with kat, haven't seen any racoon masks from gachapon, nor kebobs.

    I personally think some of the coin rates are too high, but we will see how it plays out.
    To be honest, i think this system is unneeded and just a decrease in some of the rates would of been fine.. or limiting some items to specific towns. (bwgs/pgcs seemed to be flooding out of most gachapons).

    Kebobs and both Racoon masks are in gachapon and have been since the revamp. However I think a whole lot of people have just been mainly using their gachapon tickets at one certain town which they think gave the highest rate of chaos/white scrolls. I'll take all suggestions into consideration anyway.

    Edit: Yes the items can be 'godly stats' from the vending machine.

    GG in general... every newcomer will have a HUGE disadvantage over all the month old+ players... like maggles said, I would assume most of the end-game players have already WS'd their weapons and chaos'd their capes and shoes.. now we'll have to pay like 1b for a WS?? and we won't be able to get 1b as easy now cause all we'll pull from gach will be rubbish scrolls? ~f7

    Wow. I wish I started playing a month ago instead of a week ago....

    Just curious as to why there was no heads up about a massive change that would totally flip the economy on its head BEFORE you did it? Kinda woulda been nice to know about a massive overhaul ahead of time...

    I don't believe that prices will go that high. And as I said, I may tweak it depending on how it goes.

    I figured people already realised that the rate of capes/bwg/ws/chaos was too OP and most likely going to be changed sooner or later. Let me know how that would have been beneficial to warn everyone beforehand.

    You're probably already established so of course you don't give a ~f1 about it.. what a stupid comment anyway? get over yourself

    AP resets should be 2 coins to reflect their 20mil price from the NPC.
    Warning people beforehand would have made it far worse as those with money would of just stocked up on loads of stuff, so thanks for not doing that at least..

    Very good idea executed poorly. This will cause hyper inflation. I agree that items like BWG/PAC/WS/Chaos should be made harder to get but this is a bit steep. 120 of these coins that you can only get from 1.) Gaching (reasonable) 2.) PQs (that don't work) 3.) High lvl bosses (Reasonable). Imo, either the costs should be lowered a bit to like 50 coins for ws/chaos and like 30 for bwg/pac considering how hard it will be to get the coins, or make them more accessible and keep the prices the same.

    I've been playing a week and a half. Every single game you ever play in your life will have had things you wish you would have been around for, but complaining about it will do nothing

    While I'm normally against customization since it usually doesn't work out, this doesn't look too bad.


    Newcomers already have had a huge advance since chaos/white scrolls were made very common after a lot of the older players had to risk a lot to scroll their items. Also newcomers leveled a lot faster due to more of the server being high enough leveled to leech others. So after leeching to 130ish they could just power level by zrunning a million times a day. Yeah it's not completely right but you have to draw the line somewhere.
