GD2.5 : Glory Days

Character Changes

Dual Class

Dual Class Re-Awakening

Characters can now re-Awaken their Dual Class. Simply visit Raina in Talking Island Village while on your Dual Class and trade in your class and class cloak for the new ones. When re-Awakened your Dual Class level is reset to 85, your old Dual Class’ skills are deleted, and the appropriate 3rd class skills for your new Dual Class are given.

Dual Class Skills

Dual Class skill certificates allow you to customize your character with special Dual Class-only skills. Certificates can be obtained upon reaching levels 85, 90, 95, and 99 through the certificate NPC Trandon. Trandon can also reset your character’s Dual Class certificate skills.

The following passive Dual Class certificate skills cost 1 Certificate each:

The following Dual Class certificate skills cannot be upgraded beyond level 1:

When both main class and Dual Class are level 85 or higher, the new skill Dual Maximum HP can be learned. The skill’s level can gradually increase as the main class and Dual Class levels rise. (Example: if your main class is level 99 but your Dual Class is level 85, you can only learn the level 1 version of the skill.) The skill Dual Maximum HP has the following stats:

New Items

While there, browse Raina’s new wares that are exclusively for Dual Classes and main classes:

Subclass

A character must now be level 85 in order to get the quest that unlocks the Subclass ability. See the Quests section for information on the new Subclass quest and for details on the removal of the old Subclass quest.

With the launch of Glory Days, all characters’ previously-obtained Subclass Certificate Skills are reset, to make way for the newly improved skill versions. A single Subclass Skill Certificate is the price for each of the following skills:

Kamael characters can now choose the Inspector class as their first Subclass, instead of needing to go through the process of leveling another Subclass beforehand.

Vitality

The Vitality system has reverted to being character-based instead of account based, but even better; your character's main class, Dual Class, and Subclass each have a unique Vitality pool and weekly Vitality item limit!

The consumption speed of Vitality points when gaining XP is increased.

Keep in mind that, as of Goddess of Destruction launch, having Vitality points does create a drop rate bonus, but not having Vitality points creates a drop rate penalty. To achieve the most, have at least a few Vitality points on your character or class at all times.

Mentor System

When Mentors and Mentees switch between class modes (main class, Dual Class, Subclass) they can now retain the following skill buffs and similar runes:

• Mentor’s Knight’s Harmony
• Mentor’s Warrior’s Harmony
• Mentor’s Wizard’s Harmony
• Mentor’s Mentee’s Appreciation
• Mentee’s Mentor Summon

Graduated Mentees can become Mentors in less time than before; Mentoring contracts can be created just one day after Awakening instead of five days. If a Mentoring contract is canceled the Mentor can make a new contract after only two days instead of one week.

PK System

The Reputation and Player Kill (PK) systems are revamped to protect players from senseless PKing while still allowing Chaotic characters to redeem themselves in a timely fashion.

Reputation Score Changes

The maximum Reputation score is now 500, at which time the character’s name becomes green. With the launch of Glory Days, all character Reputation scores over 500 will be reset to 500, and those below 0 will be reset to 0.

A character’s Reputation score now decreases much more sharply after PK count reaches 4.

When a character with positive Reputation PKs another player:

• Reputation resets to 0 if the player had PK count of 0 beforehand.
• Reputation decreases below 0 if the player had a PK count of 1 or more beforehand.

New methods allow characters to increase their Reputation score:

• When a character’s Reputation is negative, they can still acquire XP, SP, and Reputation up to a score of 0 by hunting monsters. Reputation can also be gained up to a score of 0 through deaths that involve the loss of XP. (If no XP is lost upon death, no Reputation is gained from the death.)
• When a character’s Reputation score is 0 or higher (positive), killing a Chaotic character increases the Reputation score further.

Item Drop Penalty

The item destruction penalty from the days of yore returns: when a Chaotic character with negative Reputation and a PK count of 4 or higher dies, an item destruction penalty applies even to augmented items. (A character with normal Reputation is not affected by the penalty.) The change of item destruction, and the number of items to be destroy, increases according to the character’s PK count, to a maximum of five items destroyed upon a single death.

Reputation Penalty

The Reputation Penalty is a debuff that increases in intensity proportionally to the character’s PK count. A character with a PK count of 3 or less can only receive a Stage 1 Reputation Penalty, but when the PK count reaches 4 and higher the penalty’s intensity increases proportionally to the character’s Reputation score.

Repent Your Sins Quest

The Repent Your Sins quest returns as a daily quest that can be used to reduce PK count. Visit the Quests section to learn more.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a problem in which a Noblesse character without a subclass could not add a Subclass.
• The Mentor’s Mentee List now updates properly if the Mentee’s account status or server changes.
• The issue of a Mentee sometimes being able to make a contract with two or more Mentors is corrected. The issue of a Mentor sometimes being able to make a contract with more than three Mentees is also corrected.
• The issue of a Mentor sometimes being able to set up another contract before an existing contract has ended is corrected.
• When the Mentee is disconnected, the problem of the Mentor receiving the Mentee’s Appreciation is corrected.
• The problem of a connected Mentee not being confirmed in the Mentor’s mentoring UI is corrected.

Clans

Clan Requests

Synopsis

In order to combat darkness, the King of Aden Amadeo Cadmus is raising money to fund the military and mercenary groups and requested the help of the Dwarf Elder Council to achieve this end. The clan request process is a policy instituted by the Iron Gate Guild to give strength and power to smaller clans per the Dwarf Elder Council’s instructions.

Clans can now level up easily by completing requests made by the Dwarf Guilds in Lineage II. Clan Requests allow clan members to contribute to the success of the clan whether they are hunting along or working together. First, the clan must earn points by hunting (together or not), and then must spend the points on entrance into an instanced challenge area. Upon completing the instance the clan receives badges from the Dwarf Guilds, which can be spent on useful items or on leveling up the clan (up to level 7). Only full clan members can participate in the Clan Request system.

The clan leader can start and manage the Clan Request system through the Clan Request Manager NPC Request Info button of the Clan window, which has replaced the End War button. A clan can only work on one guild request at a time, and may only complete an instanced challenge and earn badges once per day. If a clan level 5 or higher completes a request it can get Clan Reputation in addition to badges. If the clan leader changes the request partway through the Clan Request Points accumulated are reset.

When you choose to start a request from the Bronze Key, Black Anvil, or Golden Wheel guilds you are actually merely obtaining the ability to accumulate points to put towards it. Only once you reach the required amount of Clan Request Points can you “receive” the request and perform the instanced challenge that earns you the badges.

Earning Personal and Clan Request Points

A clan member can earn Personal Request Points through hunting. An on-screen message helps you keep track of them. You obtain points from monsters most efficiently when you hunt monsters very close to your character’s level. If the monster is 3 or more levels from your level, you may see fewer points accumulated. If you hunt monsters 11 or more levels difference to you no points are gained at all. Points can only be obtained from regular hunting monsters; raid bosses do not award points.

You can gain up to 100 Personal Request Points, at which point no more can be obtained. At any time you can trade in your Personal Request Points for Clan Request points in order to help the clan meet the requests’ goals. Clan Request Points are applied at different rates according to the clan’s level. You don’t have to go back to town to do this; simply open the Clan window, click on Request Info, then Clan Request Menu, and then Add Up Points. You can continue to hunt and gain Personal Request Points as long as you don’t reach the maximum in Personal Request Points, and as long as the clan doesn’t reach its maximum number of Clan Request Points.

Clan members must trade their Personal Quest Points in for Clan Request Points until the maximum is reached. The maximum number of Clan Request Points needed depends on the clan’s level:

Completing a Clan Request

When the maximum number of Clan Request Points is reached, speak to the Clan Request Manager and click on Receive Request. Choose between the 7-player version or the 14-player version. Doing this effectively purchases the Clan Request, spending your Clan Request Points and resetting them to zero.

A Clan Request is actually an item that summons a new NPC that manages your clan’s entrance into an instanced event. The summoning item lasts for 24 hours and can only be used once per day.

Summon the NPC and speak to her to teleport you and your clan mates to the event location. Other clan members will see a notification prompt on their screen asking if they want to join the event. When a member accepts the invitation they are teleported into the event location. There, speak to the Clan Request Assistant NPC to equip yourself and clan members with a special item that can only be used in this event.

When ready, speak to the Manager NPC again and click Begin Request Activity. All buffs are removed when you enter the instance. Once inside you can speak to the NPC to get your event-related weapon, learn more about your task, and start the activity.

The activity with the Multi Hammer involves having to hit the sleeping milk cows and keep them awake lest the Greedy Mahum Chef try to knock them out for their dinner! The Mahum are attracted to cows that are awake. You and your clan members must keep as many cows awake as possible in order to gain points and complete the instance.

When the event is over you automatically receive the awarded amount of badges in your inventory. Clan members are returned to their original locations in the world by speaking to the Assistant NPC or by being forced out of the instance when it shuts after two minutes.

Rewards

Increasing Clan Level

By speaking to the Grand Master or High Priest in any town, the clan level can be raised up to level 7 at the following prices. (You can choose to pay the General Payment or the Clan Request Payment methods; you do not have to pay both.)

Items

The following items are sold by the Clan Request Manager NPC. All items except for the Clan Cloak are tradable.

Clan Wars

To declare a clan war, a clan must now be level 5 or higher with 15 or more clan members. A single clan can declare war on up to 30 other clans at the same time. As before, there no limit on how many declarations a single clan can receive.

Before, a clan war would start once both clans declare war mutually, or else the war would start automatically after a 3-day grace period. Now, clans are no longer forced into a clan war, but hostility counts as acceptance: if both clans declare war mutually, or if 5 members of the declaring clan are killed by the targeted clan, the clan war begins. The clan that had war declared upon it can keep track of their PK count, and the amount of time remaining on a declaration invitation, in the War Info tab of the clan window.

A war declaration can be canceled by the declaring clan at the cost of 5,000 Clan Points, but it may also time-out if the declaration does not receive a response after 1 week.

Members of a clan that has had war declared upon it now see an identifying clan war mark on the members of the declaring clan.

During a clan war, Clan Fame being transferred due to PK between clan members now displays as a screen message and as a system message, detailing the clan, character name, and score.

A clan war ends if the declaration is not answered within 1 week or if the declaration is withdrawn.

With the changes to clan warfare, all clan wars in process at the time of the Glory Days launch are reset.

Clans and Clan Halls

The new Clan Cloak is added to the game. It can be purchased from the merchant NPC in an auctionable or contestable clan hall, or from the Clan Requests Manager NPC, and can be used by members occupying a clan hall. When a clan registers an image for their Clan Mark it automatically appears on their Clan Cloak. (A Clan Mark must be a 256x256 24-bit or 32-bit TGA file or BMP file.) If there is no Clan Mark registered the cloak appears plain.

The following items are added to the clan hall NPC’s sales list. One item is purchasable per hour.

• Fog of Blood District Teleport Scroll
• Isle of Souls Harbor Teleport Scroll
• Ruins of Ye Sagira Teleport Scroll (teleports you to Hadel)
• Guillotine Fortress Teleport Scroll
• Parnassus Teleport Scroll
• Forbidden Gateway Teleport Scroll

Iss Enchanter buffs can now be purchased from clan hall NPCs:

• Horn Melody
• Drum Melody
• Pipe Organ Melody
• Guitar Melody
• Harp Melody
• Lute Melody
• Knight’s Harmony
• Warrior’s Harmony
• Wizard’s Harmony

The HP and MP Recovery rates, rent prices, and maintenance fees for all auctionable and contestable clan halls is raised.

The Clan Advent skill is no longer canceled when entering an instanced dungeon other than the Olympiad.

The Clan Flag skill can now only be learned while the character is on their main class, but it can also now be shared between the main, Dual and Subclasses.

New teleport routes are added from all auctionable and contestable clan halls.

All Dion clan halls are upgraded from C-Grade to B-Grade. All related auction, deposit, and functions of the clan halls are altered to match the new grade rating.

Contestable Clan Halls

The siege methods for the Fortress of Resistance, the Fortress of the Dead, and Devastated Castle are changed in that the battles for ownership take place in instanced dungeons, each with a different set of requirements for winning the clan hall. Each instanced dungeon lasts 1 hour; players are withdrawn from the instance if the battle goes over time. When a clan wins rights to the clan hall they must confirm or refuse ownership by speaking to the clan hall NPC. If the winning clan opts out of ownership rights to the clan hall, the clan hall is then occupied by NPCs for the next two weeks.

Multiple clans participating in a single clan hall siege remain confidential to each other, but anonymous system messages inform the clans when one of the clans has won the clan hall.

Three new items can also be obtained in these instanced dungeons, respective to each dungeon’s raid boss: Nurka’s Belt, Lidia’s Belt, and Gustav’s Belt. Each item has the following stats: Increases damage by 5%, weight capacity by 12,800, and inventory slots by 18, and decreases damage received by 5%.

In accordance with these changes, some of the clan hall areas are changed from battlegrounds to being normal hunting fields.

Fortress of Resistance

The instanced dungeon can be entered on Friday of the relevant week from 21:00 to 22:00 (server time). Entrance is gained by speaking to the messenger NPC outside the clan hall, or from the clan leader using their new Summon Brakel skill. A maximum of 14 players can enter.

The clan that kills Bloody Lord Nurka the fastest wins the rights to that clan hall. The winning clan must then confirm or refuse ownership by speaking to Brakel the Chooser.

Fortress of the Dead

The instanced dungeon can be entered on Thursday of the relevant week from 21:00 to 22:00 (server time). Entrance is gained by speaking to the messenger NPC outside the clan hall, or from the clan leader using their new Summon Jacquard skill. A maximum of 14 players can enter.

The clan that kills Giselle von Hellmann, Alfred von Hellmann, and Lidia von Hellmann in order and the fastest wins the rights to that clan hall. The winning clan must then confirm or refuse ownership by speaking to Jacquard the Chooser.

Devastated Castle

The instanced dungeon can be entered on Friday of the relevant week from 21:00 to 22:00 (server time). Entrance is gained by speaking to the messenger NPC outside the clan hall, or from the clan leader using their new Summon Loken skill. A maximum of 14 players can enter.

The Devastated Castle instanced dungeon involves intensive strategy: there are three inner strongholds which must all be occupied, as well as a boss monster that must be defeated, in order to win the battle. A stronghold can become occupied by using a Scroll: Stronghold Siege (10, 20, 30, 40, or 50 –second duration), which is dropped from subordinate monsters in the area. A scroll occupies the targeted stronghold for the amount of seconds detailed in the scroll type.

• Transportation Stronghold: This stronghold moves from one side of the castle to the castle walls on the opposite site. When it reaches the walls the stronghold reverts to unoccupied status even if there is time left from using a Stronghold Scroll. In order to keep this stronghold from reaching the walls clan members must use certain skills to impede its movement.
• Attack Stronghold: This stronghold must be continuously attacked in order to stay occupied. Whenever it’s quickly-regenerating HP reaches 100% it reverts to unoccupied status.
• Demolished Throne Stronghold: This stronghold can only be occupied for 3 minutes maximum.

The clan that occupies all three bases, and kills Gustav the fastest, wins the rights to the clan hall. The winning clan must then confirm or refuse ownership by speaking to Loken the Chooser.

A clan that does not own a castle can now register for and participate in sieges for up to 9 castles (all of them) instead of being limited to one per siege session. When the clan that is registered that multiple sieges wins a certain castle, the sieges for the other castles are canceled, and the clan can then only participate in the siege warfare for their castle.

Characters registered for a siege no longer display the defending or besieging mark when they are not on the battlefield.

The defending-besieging relationship is applied independently for each castle. This means that temporary alliances can be made per castle for the clans registered to siege them.

• For example, if multiple clans register to sieges of both Aden Castle and Goddard Castle, those clans can form a temporary alliance for both castle sieges. Alliances targeted to siege a certain castle remain in place until the castle’s lord changes.

Castle walls can now be destroyed more easily when using siege weapons.

The Ward of Life and Flame Control Towers in castles now have increased HP, P. Def., and M. Def.

Castle-specific cloaks are added to the game. Each cloak can be used by members of a clan in possession of the respective castle. It can be purchased from the castle NPC’s sales list.

The HP and MP Recovery, and Resurrection rates, and the maintenance costs for each castle are increased.

Olympiad

The Hero-exclusive Infinity weapons have new item icons.

The stats of normal Hero weapons are increased in accordance with the stats increase of general higher quality weapons:

Fortresses

The HP and MP Recovery, and Resurrection rates, and the maintenance costs for each fortress are increased.

Zones and Raid Bosses

Isle of Souls

The Black Anvil Guild Golems and Dwarf Soldiers are in constant battle against Mother Nornil’s cloned Spiculas and the Golem Corps of Dr. Chaos throughout the Isle of Souls.

The Isle of Souls is revamped with new monsters as a hunting ground for solo players or small parties between levels 92 and 96. The monsters and environment provide opportunities for strategic combat:

• If you kill a Spicula that a Black Anvil Guild Golem is fighting, that Golem will temporarily become an ally and help you fight other monsters.
• Sometimes a Self-Destruct Golem will appear next to a character and use a self-destruction skill. When this happens, any allied Golems present become enemies. Nearby monsters are also affected by the self-destruction skill, but they are rendered helpless.
• In some places, Spicula cloning devices are constantly spawning monsters. Sometimes, allied soldiers and a Cannon Golem may appear near the cloning device to help you fight. A Cannonball Golem can be of great help when hunting monsters.
• The roaming Gigantic Golem raid boss presents a surprising challenge to any that cross his path.

Nornil’s Cave

A program to expel intruders has been initialized in accordance with super computer Mother Nornil. The Spicula Kamael, living weapon’s at the service of Mother Nornil’s continuously work to expel intruders from Nornil’s Cave.

Nornil’s Cave on the Isle of Souls has been reborn as a level 93-96 small party hunting zone, with new monsters and challenges. From ground level, delve down into the darkness of the cave on foot, or use the Nornil Teleport Device at the entrance to travel directly to certain areas of the cave. As you explore, beware alarms and the Spicula cloning devices; if these see you or are attacked they will summon backup and you’ll be swarmed by monsters! In the cave’s central room is the Bozz Core, which can grant access to the Nornil’s Garden raid instance to a party of characters level 93 or higher.

Nornil’s Garden

The head of the hordes of cloned Spiculas, raid boss Spicula Zero reigns the Nornil’s Garden instance dungeon. Upon entering, the raid party must progress through the zone until reaching the raid boss in the final room.

Pagan’s Temple

Shilen awoke with the Seal of Disaster. In order to complete the Great Sacrifice, she has begun moving the four demon lords of hell: Halisha, Malloc, Triol, and Bremmnon. Under Shilen’s orders, Helan’s leader Triol has ordered his subordinates Andreas van Halter, Jacuques Doom, and others, into the world to prepare for the Great Sacrifice and his own transfer to the material realm. Jacques Doom has started churning out bloodsucking insects while Andreas van Halter produces pagans and spreads them into the heart of Rune.

The Pagan’s Temple zone is revamped to suit characters level 98 and higher, and is suitable for solo, small party, or full party hunting. The Pagan’s Key item obtained from killing monsters now opens all the doors in Pagan’s Temple. (The original Anteroom Key, Chapel Key, and Key of Darkness items remain in the game and can also be used.)

The raid boss Andreas van Halter is now level 99 and spawns on the first floor of the altar platform, which is now accessible through open doors.

Kartia’s Labyrinth

The HP of the Kartia Dimensional Watchman, Zellaka, Pelline, and Kalios monsters is reduced.

In the solo-type Kartia’s Labyrinth only, if you kill the Kartia Dimensional Watcher that spawns in the 7th stage of battle on the first floor, the new Life Plunderer monster appears. When Life Plunderer’s HP drops below 10%, the Boiling Blood buff is applied to the character. While the Boiling Blood buff is active, the character can resurrect on the same spot with XP, HP, and MP all recovered completely. This buff is only active while the player is in the instance.

The Kartia Research NPC is now is a position on the Aden’s towns plaza fountain that allows for easier targeting.

Fairy Settlement

Long ago Kimerian and the fairies under his control settled in Magmeld. The Decaying Darkness has been seeping into the realm over time, however, and now the Cocoon Destroyer appears, spreading the curse of darkness and corrupting Kimerian and the fairies further.

The Cocoons and Large Cocoons in Fairy Settlement now present more challenge and reward. The raid boss Kimerian now gives more XP reward in both normal and Epic raid versions.
