Interliude Info For Newbies

This Info is for ppl who play still on interliude serwers :]

 

Demonic Sword of Zariche

 

 

 

While everyone is desperately waiting for Fifth Chronicle of Lineage II, Oath of Blood, they are also debating and discussing the effect that the changes will bring. The community gets these few tidbits of information about Chronicle 5 from the very few who can translate the Korean patch notes and inform the rest of us. In Korea, the new Chronicle has already been both tested and implemented into Lineage II, so occasionally we get an interesting story here and there.

 

But for now I want to focus on one particularly interesting addition to Chronicle 5. The update will bear the introduction of a special one-of-a-kind superweapon that appears in only one place at a time per server. The first, is a big two-hander 'Cursed Sword' called Zariche.

 

Zariche, as we learn from the patch notes, is extremely powerful. The weapon will drop randomly by any monster in the game. The drop will be documented in an announcement more so than any event previously. First the physical effect of the sky darkening, and then the ground will shake (probably much like the earthquake that happens when Baium is summoned, but worldwide). And then an announcement will be made regarding the drop and that it is now in the possession of a player....

 

The player that is lucky enough to have this happen to him or her, will get the sword forced on them. It will equip automatically and is unequipable until it's "life" wears out. But here's the fun part - while having the sword the wielder cannot lose experience on death, or drop any items other than the sword upon death. That's even if they do die... as stat's are increased to a rather frightening high. CP, HP, P.atk, M.atk, P.def, and M.def are increased to godlike levels never before seen in Lineage. It makes the user so powerful, that nothing short of an army of other players will be able to bring them down.

 

The sword encourages the player to attack anyone and everyone. Even though karma is maxed, it will go away immediately once the sword has decayed. Plus the sword decays slower if PK's are made more constantly. Undoubtedly the player - if they know what they're doing - will go on a killin spree for both bots and other players.

 

It does has it's disadvantages. The wielder is immediately kicked out of any party, or command channel. Cannot recieve buffs from anyone. Can't join any new parties. Is recognized as an enemy on a siege field by both attackers and defenders. The sword can also not be used in the Olympiad. All of this are weak safeguards to it's ultimate power ... Nothing will truly stop it's devasting power in an experienced high level.

 

This sword will, at the least, bring an interesting new spice to the game. I will encourage PVP on wide scales, because the sword will be of interest to be used for clan purposes in war. Additionally, for those who are more interested in working for the server more than their clan, it can be used as a very good bot clearer tool. Running through catacombs and killing off entire bot parties should require little effort by any person with this sword.

 

 

 

 

 

Here is the information from the Official Korean Site:

 

The cursed sword 'Demonic Sword Zariche'

The Zariche was a weapon of massacre owned by Bremnon, one of the four devil gods and the symbol of jealousy and inferiority.

 

Any monster in the world can drop this item. However, only one can exist per server.

Cannot be traded, dropped or destroyed.

When the Zariche drops, darkness will fall on the whole world for a brief moment, the ground will shake and there will be an announcement as a system message.

The character that picked up the item will immediately become chaotic, and his/her CP and MP will be set to 100%. At this point, the player's Karma will be at Max, and nothing will bring that number down.

The Zariche will auto-equip when picked up. The player cannot unequip the sword at will.

The sword self-destruct itself after a certain amount of time.

It will decay faster if no PKs are committed while it is equipped.

When the owner of the Zariche dies, the item dissappears or drops.

Even if the Zariche's owner no longer logs onto the game, the item will disappear after a certain time.

The owner of the Zariche will receive a periodic system message alerting the owner of how much life the item has left.

 

Fighting and partying

The character with the Zariche will be forced to follow the following:

Cannot attack players under level 20

If a player below level 20 hits a character with the Zariche s/he will be fossilized.

If a player hits the Zariche owner (but not with a physical/magical skill), the player's CP will immediately drop to 0.

Fights between the wielder of Zariche and other players will not result in PK penalties such as XP loss, item drops, increased karma.

The wielder cannot form parties with other players

If a player picks up a Zariche while in a party, s/he will automatically be rejected from the party

The wielder of Zariche cannot use the party matching system nor a raid channel.

The wielder cannot receive outside heals or buffs, nor give them. Self-buffs are allowed.

Pets and summons can be summoned, but the wielder cannot ride any pets.

 

Olympiad and Hero

Characters with the Zariche cannot compete at olympiad.

If a Hero character acquires a Zariche, the hero is able to use hero skills, and will return to normal hero status when the Zariche is gone.

 

Relationship between PvP and Zariche's special qualities

When the wielder of Zariche commits a PK, the Zariche's life decreases but its atk powers are increased.

A character holding the Zariche during a siege will be recognized as an enemy by both the attackers and the defenders.

Blood Sword Akamanah

 

 

A new cursed dual sword, Blood Sword Akamanah, has been added.

 

 

 

The item’s creation, expiration, and PvP rules are identical to those for the Demonic Sword Zariche. The Zariche or Akamanah will automatically expire 24 hours after the final PK with the sword. A system message will show the cursed sword’s remaining time by showing how much time has passed since the final PK.

 

When a player that carries the Zariche or Akamanah is killed, the ratio of each sword’s drop and automatic expiration has been changed to 50:50.

 

When a player that carries Zariche and a player that carries Akamanah attack one another, the recipient’s CP is reduced to 0. The same rules also apply in the opposite instance.

 

 

 

When a player that controls Akamanah acquires Zariche, the newly-acquired Zariche automatically disappeared, and the equipped Akamanah's level increases by 1. The same rules also apply in the opposite instance.

 

 

When you acquire a cursed sword (Zariche or Akamanah), two active skills are granted. The bearer of the Zariche or Akamanah gains the skills Void Flow and Void Burst in the active skills list. Once the weapon is equipped, a short refresh time must be observed before the skills are ready for use.

Primeval Isle

 

 

The Primeval Isle, an island full of unknown creatures, has been added to the south of Rune Township. It can be reached by ferry from Rune Harbor, or by swimming.

 

 

 

The island is for hunting by the highest levels of players.

 

Players can take on monsters to increase the level of a Soul Crystal (stage 11 and 12), a clan reputation quest, and a quest to find a new ingredient for an A Grade Weapon. These new quests are described under Quests below.

 

The Boss Monster is a beast known as Sailren. In order to enter Sailren’s lair, you must take on the “Attack Sailren!” quest.

 

You can obtain Blue, Green and Red Primitive Crystals by hunting monsters. Primitive Crystals can be used to add 50,000, 100,000 or 200,000 points to your SP.

 

The Tyrannosaurus can go into a frenzy during battle. Use of the Trap skill during frenzy makes them easier for hunting. This is described below.

 

An NPC located at the Primeval Isle Wharf will revive a dead party member to your location for a fee. He can summon all of your dead party members.

 

Escaping from the Primeval Isle area will lead to the Primeval Isle Wharf.

 

The Primeval Isle Wharf area is a peaceful zone.

 

Trapping System

 

A trap skill that greatly decreases the attack strength of the Primeval Isle’s Tyrannosaurus has been added.

 

 

Use of this skill requires the Elrokian Trap and Capture Stones.

 

Once you complete the Elrokian Hunters quest, which begins near the Primeval Isle Wharf area, you can obtain the Elrokian Trap as a reward.

 

Capture Stones can be purchased from the NPC who is located on remote island south of the Primeval Isle. (If you accidentally delete the Trap that you obtained from the quest, you can purchase another one from the NPC.)

Swoop Cannon

 

 

 

Player characters who reach level 68 of the Warsmith class will gain access to the Swoop Cannon, a new siege summon.

 

 

 

The Swoop Cannon is a siege servitor designed for attack. It cannot be used to defend. It is different from previous siege servitors in that it can use its skill without switching modes.

 

It can be summoned only within the Siege War Zone.

 

46 A Grade Crystals are required for the initial summoning. After it is summoned, B Grade Gemstones are continuously consumed at a rate of 21 per minute.

 

The Swoop Cannon’s attack goes in the direction it is facing, regardless of whether a target has been selected. Its ranged attack fires in a parabolic arc. All players and NPCs who are near where its shots land — allies, enemies and neutral parties alike — will incur damage. When a shot falls on an ordinary field (non-siege zone), battleground, or the border area of an ordinary field, it damages players on the ordinary field and it incurs a PK penalty.

 

Shots cannot damage castle walls, doors, or headquarters.

 

The Swoop Long Shot and Swoop Middle Shot skills cannot be used inside a castle, along the castle wall area, nor outside a battleground.

 

Flash Gunpowder is consumed during attack. Flash Gunpowder can be purchased in the Town of Schuttgart and Rune Township.

 

The Swoop Cannon disappears when it is defeated.

 

Castle-Owning Clan Skills

 

New skills have been added to a circlet that can be equipped by clan members who control a castle, and to a crown that can be equipped by a castle lord.

 

The Lord’s Crown can be obtained from the Chamberlain, and each castle’s circlet can be purchased from the Chamberlain.

 

Also, Academy members have been changed so that they cannot equip a castle circlet.

When the lord’s skill is used, a summoning field is created near the lord, and the lord is put into an immobile state. At that time, a system message stating that a Gate has been created appears to all clan members who are logged on. For 2 minutes, clan members can speak with the Court Magician inside the castle and teleport to the lord’s location.

 

The skill is located in the active skill window when the item is equipped.

 

When ownership of the necessary castle is lost, the item automatically disappears and the skill is also lost.

For each item to be augmented, a Life Stone and Gemstones are needed, along with the weapon the player wants to augment. Life Stones can be acquired from hunting monsters. There is a higher chance of obtaining a high-level Life Stone from raid/boss monster rather than from an ordinary monster. A Life Stone shows the level of the character who can use it.

 

For the augmentation order, select the weapon to be augmented, the Life Stone, and Gemstones in the Augment window. Drag and drop the items from the inventory to add them to the Augment window. Click the Augment button.

 

 

Blacksmith NPCs can also remove augmentations, and a fee is assessed during the process.

 

Bonuses Granted

 

The bonus granted during augmentation is random, determined by the levels of the Life Stone and the weapon. The success rate is 100%.

 

The types of bonuses are as follows:

 

Increased basic abilities (STR, CON, INT, MEN)

Increased battle values (P. Atk., P. Def., M. Atk., Accuracy, etc.)

Additional skill (Active, Passive, Chance skill)

The bonus will not take effect when the augmented weapon has a higher grade than the character’s expertise level.

 

When a weapon is augmented, a prefix will be added to the weapon name.

 

Details

 

The augmented weapon cannot be exchanged, dropped, traded, sold, freighted, or deposited in the clan warehouse. However, private warehouse storage is possible. An item that has had its augmentation removed can be transferred normally.

 

Weapons with special abilities or an enchantment can be augmented. It is also possible to add a special ability or to enchant augmented items.

 

Even if you remove a weapon’s augmentation, the special ability or enchant status will not change.

 

When a bonus is added while augmenting with a Life Stone that is above mid-grade, the weapon will glow.

 

 

An augmented weapon cannot be used for crafting dual swords.

 

An augmented weapon cannot be used to trade with the Blacksmith of Mammon.

 

 

 

 

Character Changes

 

 

The amount of experience points reduced upon player character death has been changed. The amount is unchanged for levels 1-75. After level 76, the amount will be reduced as the character's level increases.

 

When a chaotic character dies, their chance of incurring the penalty for death has been greatly increased.

 

The value of the penalty for death (reduced combat capability) has been increased.

 

Chaotic characters can now speak to the NPC Tyra.

 

If the character's weight goes over 80% for the main class or subclass, the subclass cannot be changed.

Shadow Weapons

 

 

Temporary weapons with short lifespans have been added to increase access to varied weapons.

 

Details

 

A Shadow Weapon has the same abilities and appearance as an ordinary weapon, but it has a limited lifespan.

 

When a Shadow Weapon’s total duration or mana reaches 0, it will be removed from inventory and disappear.

 

The remaining duration or mana is consumed from the time the item is equipped, and the consumption ends when it is no longer equipped.

 

Warning: If the item is equipped and unequipped multiple times, the remaining duration or mana is consumed faster than normal. Logging in and out of the game with the weapon equipped will also decrease its duration.

 

As a short-term item, shadow weapons cannot be moved through trading, drop, or cargo, and it can only be stored in a private warehouse. Short-term items also cannot be enchanted, augmented, given a special ability or crystallized.

 

A weapon that is obtained by using a Shadow Weapon Exchange Coupon has a lower total duration or mana than a Shadow Weapon bought at a weapon shop.

 

Obtaining Shadow Weapons

 

A Shadow Weapon can be formed from various B, C or D Grade weapons.

 

Players who complete a transfer quest will receive an exchange coupon that can be traded for a Shadow Weapon. Players will receive a D Grade Shadow Weapon Exchange Coupon after completing the first class transfer, and a C Grade Shadow Weapon Exchange Coupon after completing the second class transfer.

 

A Shadow Weapon exchange coupon cannot be traded, dropped or sold at a private store. If you take the Shadow Weapon exchange coupon to the grand master class NPC, you can receive a Shadow Weapon as a reward.

 

B and C Grade weapons can be purchased with Adena from the town’s weapon merchant.

 

 

Shadow weapons can be purchased by characters that are above level 40, and the weapon item type that can be purchased changes depending on the player’s level.

Monsters

 

 

 

[ Raid Boss Monsters | Antharas and Valakas | Other Changes ]

The appearance and speed of certain raid monsters have been changed.

 

The impact effect has been added to certain raid monsters.

 

If you fail against the Pagan Temple raid boss, the raid boss will now return to its original position.

 

When you open the Gate of Splendor to the raid boss room in the Monastery of Silence, the left and right doors have been changed to open at the same time. The doors also have been changed so that 60 seconds after they open and close, neither will open again for 30 minutes. The Gate of Splendor can no longer be opened using the Unlock skill.

 

The problem of the aggressive raid boss Gigantic Chaos Golem of the Pavel Ruins not attacking when a player passes by has been changed.

 

The forced display before Frintezza that appeared outside the Last Imperial Tomb has been changed.

 

Baium’s inability to kill the player that awakened it has been changed.

 

Raid boss Master Anays of the Monastery of Silence has been changed. If raid boss Master Anays is outside when it receives a player’s attack, it will teleport back into the room. If the raid boss is outside and its subordinate receives an attack while it is also outside, the raid boss will teleport back into the room. When the raid boss is inside the room and its subordinates are outside, if a player attacks a subordinate, the raid boss will remain in the room, and the player will only battle with the subordinates. (Subordinates do not give experience.) If the raid boss is outside when the server goes down, it will teleport back into the room.

 

With the fortress update, the locations of raid bosses Eye of Beleth and Kelbar have been changed, and monsters that used to appear at the fortress’ location have all been removed.

 

Antharas and Valakas

 

The HP, P. Def., and M. Def. of Antharas and Valakas have been decreased.

Pagan Temple, Monastery of Silence, Imperial Cemetery, Forge of the Gods, Dimensional Rift, Ketra/Varka Silenos Stronghold

In hunting grounds that are above level 80, the ordinary monsters have all been changed to level 80. But the monsters’ abilities and rewards remain the same as before, except for treasure chests.

 

Treasure chests can no longer appear in fields near a newly-added fortress. This includes the areas of the Floran Agricultural Area, Dragon Valley, Plunderous Plains, and Hunters Valley.

 

The experience points loss problem when a player character dies above the battlefield after mounting a wyvern has been changed.

 

A problem with the Dark Elf Village Gatekeeper’s social animation has been changed.
