Base Stat Renewal Guide

2010-01-15T22:54:50Z

Here is a comprehensive guide to Base Stat Renewal. Each character will receive two (2) Candles of Recollection to use.

]]>

Take your Candle of Recollection to Lolo in Gludio.

This will take you to the first screen in the Base Stat Renewal process. You will see the box that says Bonus Points. This is how many points you get to redistribute.

I used my first point on Strength. The chart at the bottom shows how your points affect your character.

I used my second point on Dexterity. The chart updates to show this.

When all of your points have been distributed, click OK. BE SURE you are pleased with where your points are because you CANNOT go back after you click OK.

Now you will be able to level your character up. You can choose to level up one level at a time, or ten levels at a time.

Once you reach level 41, you will only be able to level up one level at a time.

Once you reach level 51, you will receive another bonus point each level to distribute. You must distribute this point to one of your stats before you can level up to the next level.

Once you have reached your actual level (in this case 70), press OK.

If you have used elixirs, you will get a pop-up box asking you to distribute your elixir points. If you have not used any elixirs you will not see this box. Click OK in the box to distribute your elixir points, then click OK when you are done.

After pressing OK for the last time, you will arrive back in Gludio and you will have completed the Base Stat Renewal process. Enjoy your new stats!

Lineage Halloween Event 2009

2009-10-27T22:56:26Z

The costume party has finally arrived! Beginning tomorrow, October 28th after server maintenance (1pm PDT / 3pm CDT / 4pm EDT / 8pm GMT / 9pm BST) the event will begin! See Baru and his costume assistant in Giran to get started with the festivities!

]]> You'll need to hunt up some pumpkin seeds in order to fully reap the benefits Baru has to offer, but everything you fight has the chance to drop them, so you can hunt normally!

Beware - the Cavern of Chaos is quite scary. You have been warned!!

Halloween Hints #3

2009-10-21T16:55:10Z

You arrive home from the market, remembering the gossip that you heard in Pandora's shop. As you walk in the door, you immediately notice the now familiar small scroll just inside.

]]>

Again you remember the gossip. You overheard Pandora saying that several of the accessory crafters were working night and day to try to meet a very large order but everyone was being very hush-hush about the details of what they were making! And now Evert, that name is familiar... You'll have to try to remember who he is. And a pumpkin-headed stranger? Too many questions and not enough answers!

Halloween Hints #2

2009-10-12T23:24:31Z

You twirl in front of the mirror in your newly selected Halloween costume. It was great luck that you found that wonderful little shop where you could try on anything you liked! *Whoosh* You turn quickly to see that another small rolled scroll has been slipped under your door. You move quickly to the window, but the secret messenger was too fast and is already gone. You open the new scroll in hopes that it will shed some light on this odd situation!

]]>

Hmmm. No concrete answers, only more questions! This party will definitely be the talk of the town! You are excited, but still a bit nervous..... so many unknowns!

Halloween Hints

2009-10-07T23:07:59Z

You awake on a crisp October morning with the sun shining. It's going to be a beautiful day! As you get up to start a morning fire, you notice a small scroll has been slipped under your door tied with dark red ribbon. "Odd," you think to yourself. "Why not just send mail?" You open the scroll and the contents surprise you.

]]>

"A costume party? Hmmm - I'll have to see if I can find a costume. Last year everyone was running around as the same thing and I definately don't want to just be the same as everyone else. And I've never even heard of the Cavern of Chaos..... sounds kind of..... scary. I wonder if there will be party favors....."
