​

Hear a sound of thunder coming to Elmoreden... ​

Get ready to start your journey in the long-awaited major update of this summer -
Helios, the Lord of Bifrost!
Update will go live during tomorrow's maintenance!


The new episode of Epic Tales of Aden will bring a lot of new features including faster levelling, faction system, new epic raid boss and more!


Emperor Helios arrived to Elmoreden

Get ready for a tough battle! The Emperor will use numerous skills, summon his henchmen and shoot powerful weapons.

The new levelling system will help to reach Helios quickly

Take part in the quests that give you more experience, use special armors, which accelerate levelling, and examine new Hunting Zones. Levelling has never been as fast as now.

Renovated Giant’s Cave is waiting for the 100+ lvl characters

This zone is divided into two parts: on the top floor you can hunt on your own, and on the bottom floor you will find a raid boss Mimir, dwelling in the depth of the cave.

The system of factions has appeared in Elmoreden

Choose a faction that you like, strike up a friendship and get the bonuses - access to all teleports, increased chance of Giant’s Relic Room key drop, enhanced fishing rods, baits and lots of other things.

New epic jewelry can become even better

Scare up an item “Source of the Emperor” from Rafforty to create really potent accessories.

Hi s2 ! Which means fixed damage resistance +10%.

 

if skills are enchanted +++ we receive immortal scrolls?

 

It means -10% topaz damage (brooch jewel from other regions).. since we don't have topaz, I dunno what else it changes..

 

Wouldn't it mean all damage that doesn't stack player's stats ? Most of skills states "added to p/matk", but fewer of them doesn't list it (1 blow from dagger, phoenix arrow, 1 skill from tyrr). I think those are affected (or so I think, didn't test, don't have insanity )

 

Well dots are dealing also fixed damage, except summoner ones. oh and exile, poison bleed etc.

 

Idk, tested with lumi (should be fixed damage 98 or 99) and few other things, and still didn't make difference..

I could be wrong, but this fixed damage looks rly useless..

 

Istina will not hit u 1kk but only 900k. Thats fixed damage.
Also dots are fixed damage if crits.

 

hello,could u tell me how us how to get Source of the Emperor to upgrade helois ring?

 

This time, eu Innova managed to speed up the update a bit good job.

 

What do you mean by "1. Damage dealt by 'Heavy Punch' skill has been considerably decreased." and what's the logic to do so? Besides the description of the skill couldn't be more simple and clear, are you going to change the original description also, just to nerf a skill on your own, without balancing it one way or another?

 

This issue is under discussion with developers to clarify whether if it is a bug or is now working as intended, but so far most probably damage has been decreased by design.

 

do you mean this: https://l2wiki.com/Dualclass#List_of_the_skills_to_certify
???

 

One of Steel Mind's effects is similar to the Heavy Punch effect, is this effect also decreased "by design"?

 

Seriously?

 

After this update Tyrr warrior lost some p critical rate. Can anyone explain me: is it bug or some buff/item/passive skill was changed?

 

Subclass skill maybe?
