Hello,

I'll be using this space to constantly update my work on the server for yours and my own knowledge.

Changelog: 20-11-2009 (PyroMaker):

We implemented a new area with 5 Raid Bosses, plenty of new monsters and a new armor set. There was a poll up in the forums, the idea was brought up and well accepted. You NEED to download the New L2Dust v.2.0 Patch in order to go to this area, otherwise your client will crash. A new Armor was added in, called Legendary Armor. It's roughly an Upgrade for the current S-Grade Armors. If you wish to see the stats on these armors, check the Merchant Shop Leondra NPC in Giran, and click in "Upgrade S-Grade Armor". Make sure you have the new patch before doing so, otherwise your client will crash.


[NEW] Area changes: New Area implemented: Abandoned Coal Mines.
[NEW] Item changes: New Armor implemented: Legendary Armor (Upgrade to S-Grade sets).
[NEW] NPC Changes: Added a new armor to be crafted in Merchant Shop Leondra.
[NEW] NPC Changes: Added five raid bosses in Abandoned Coal Mines, each one drops a different Token used to craft armors.

Changelog: 26-10-2009:

 

[FIXED] Zariche/Akamanah bug: they spawned and 10 seconds later vanished. This has been fixed.
[FIXED] People that killed certain Raid Bosses were deleveled: People who killed big raid bosses like Valakas, Antharas, Vampire Lord and Forgotten King would very often be deleveled to Level 1. This bug has been fixed.
[CHANGE] Infinity Spear: this item was used by some people in a way that harassed certain players since you could cancel anyone you wanted, even unflagged people, so the SA was changed to the same as Infinity Crusher.
[CHANGE] Raid Boss drops: Vampire Lord and Forgotten King had their drops boosted greatly:

• Enchant scrolls (Weapon and Armor): 1 -> 1~2
  
• Lifestones: 2~3 -> 4~6

[NEW] Marriage system: now people can marry and both will receive a Summon Friend skill. Still needs to be tested further. This feature is only going to be available through donation when it is fully implemented.

[CHANGE] Shillien Knight/Templar class overall improvement:

• Lightning Strike: Increased landing rate deeply but decreased effect time: 30s -> max 10s (it varies, so it's like a long stun now), decreased reuse delay a bit and increased mana consumption from 80 to 200 (prevents abuse in Olympiad). Note: It doesn't deal damage at all, only a small amount of damage when it doesn't land.
• Poison: Increased landing rate and deals a bit more damage, but mana costs were increased 3x.
• Life Leech: Deals slightly more damage and decreased reuse delay a bit. Mana consumption increased.
• Freezing Strike: Increased landing rate but increased mana consumption. Note: This applies to Abyss Walker / Phantom Ranger aswell. This skill does not deal damage.
• Hex: Increased landing rate. Note: This applies to Abyss Walker / Phantom Ranger aswell.

Hello,

I've been working on a new website for a few weeks now. Since I've also been working hard on the server to improve it, it took me a while to get this done, but here it is. I hope you enjoy it.

Now we have PK Ranking, PvP Ranking, Olympiad Ranking and Castle Stats. Everything well detailed and listed well, with full compatibility for both IE and Firefox browsers. Took me a long while to finish the layout and the small details, but it's finally finished. Please give us your opinion about the new website HERE.

On a side note, now we have a Ventrilo Server as you may have probably already noticed. Here's the info you need in order to connect to our ventrilo server and chat with other players:

Server Hostname: ventrilo.l2dust.com
Port Number: 36950

Make sure you vote for us daily!
