        The following changes and additions will go to PTS on Thursday, July 29:
        <![CDATA[<br><br><blockquote><big><strong>Introduction of Dragon Knight Class and Illusionist Class</big></strong><br>
<blockquote><li>New magic skills have been added for the new classes - spellbooks can be purchased from some NPC's, some are available as drops and others are quest rewards.</li><br>
<li>Dragon Knight will start from Singing Island and Illusionist will start from Hidden Valley.</li><br>
<li>2 new characters slots have been added, 2 additional character slots are available for special events.</li><br>
<li>New weapons are available for the new classes. </li><br>
<li>Level 15, 30, 45, and 50 quests have been added for the new classes.</li><br>
<li>Both new classes can use Sharna's Polymorph Scrolls. They will retain their original appearance.</li><br>
<li>Most teleporters will now teleport you to Behimous (zone for Dragon Knights) and Silveria (zone for Illusionists). A special teleporter will take new Dragon Knights and new Illusionsits to these zones from Hidden Valley and Singing Island at no charge.</li></blockquote><br>

<big><strong>Thebes Dungeon</big></strong><br>
<blockquote><li>New dungeon has been added consisting of three parts - Thebes Desert, Thebes Pyramid, and Thebes Osiris Altar Room.</li><br>
<li>Monsters in the Thebes Desert range from level 23 to level 50.</li><br>
<li>Monsters in the Thebes Pyramid range from level 50 to level 60.</li><br>
<li>Bosses in the Altar Room are level 70.</li><br>
<li>Joe's Stone Golem has been added to the new Thebes map. He will exchange 100 Fragments of Time for a Cracked Nucleus that is needed to open the treasure chest of Osiris.</li><br>
<li>Entrance to the Thebes map is gained through the Crack of Time. When the Crack appears a server-wide announcement is made. The Crack appears in one of ten locations.</li><br>
<li>Once the Crack is open, players have two and a half hours to locate the Crack and advance through the dungeon to the Altar Room. Monsters in this area will drop a Thebes Osiris Altar Key. Everyone wishing to enter the Altar Room must have their own key.</li><br>
<li>Twenty people (with a key) are allowed into the Altar Room to meet the two bosses spawned there. Players have thirty minutes to defete these bosses. If the bosses are defeated, the Crack will remain open for 24 hours. If they are not defeated, everyone is teleported out.</li><br></blockquote>

<big><strong>New Enchanting Systems</big></strong><br>
<blockquote><li>Shiren in Aden now sells enchant scrolls for elemental enchanting and accessory enchanting.</li><br>
<li>Elemental enchanting can give you additional damage for wind, earth, water, or fire. When elemental enchanting fails, there is no possibility for the item to blow up.</li><br>
<li>Accessory enchanting works similarly to current weapon and armor enchanting. When accessory enchanting fails, there is the possibility for the item to blow up.</li><br></blockquote>

<big><strong>Novice Area Revamped</big></strong><br>
<blockquote><li>Talking Scroll Quest for new players has been revamped.</li><br>
<li>Training dungeon has been updated with new quests, monsters, and bosses.</li><br>
<li>An NPC in each village will assist new players in choosing a hunting area appropriate for their level.</li><br></blockquote>

<big><strong>Miscellaneous</big></strong><br>
<blockquote><li>Level 50 quest updated.</li><br>
<li>3rd stage cooking recipes have been added and the required ingredients have been added as monster drops.</li><br>
<li>New music and sound effects have been added.</li><br>
<li>The Help Menu and the Options Menu have been revised.</li><br><br><br>]]>

        Our 4th of July Event - The Dwarfs Fight for Freedom - begins after maintenance on June 30.
        <![CDATA[<br><br><center><img src="/global/uploads/L1_container_main_splas%232CA%20copy.png" width="653" height="337" class="mt-image-none" /></center><br>
<blockquote>An Evil Sorcerer is looking to set up a base of operations in Fire Valley. He's been seen snooping around the Dwarf Cave. He's looking for a nice, new home for his despicable experiments. The Dwarf Cave is inviting - a few renovations and he could be quite happy there. But how to get the Dwarfs to go away with a minimal amount of effort? 
<br><br>
The sorcerer uses his dark arts to enslave an army of Black Ents to wage war upon the Dwarfs. Units of Black Ents repeatedly attack the Dwarf Encampment, but through considerable effort the Dwarfs are holding their own. 
<br><br>
How can you help the Dwarfs? Some of the Black Ents have been disguised as Dwarfs and are running amok on the Mainland. But be warned, these disguised Ents have a few tricks up their sleeve! Your mission is to kill as many of these infiltrators as possible and you shall be rewarded for your deeds! The imposters are drawn by curiosity to footsteps, so walking anywhere on the mainland will be sure to draw them out!
<br><br>
The Dwarfs know that this siege upon them will be alleviated as soon adventurers like you respond to their call for help. In anticipation of their liberation from this war, they are crafting Freedom Cloaks that will aid in the extermination of this evil! Will you help the Dwarfs in their fight for freedom?<br><br>
The Evil Sorcerer is not to be put off so lightly. He too wishes to entice helpers. He realizes his army is dwindling in strength. To rebuild, he requires the branches and apples of the fallen Ents. Bring these to him for rewards!

<br><br><br>
<big><strong>Rewards</big></strong><br>
<blockquote><li> See Hreidmar outside of the Dwarf Cave about crafting your cloak.</li><br>
<li>Take your Precious Metals to Dvalin in Diad for rewards.</li><br>
<li>The Evil Sorcerer is hovering about the west entrance to the Dwarf Cave. Take him your apples and branches for rewards.</blockquote></li><br>

<blockquote>An evil sorcerer is looking to set up a base of operations in Fire Valley. He's been seen snooping around the Dwarf Cave. He's looking for a nice, new home for his despicable experiments. The Dwarf Cave is inviting - a few renovations and he could be quite happy there. But how to get the Dwarfs to go away with a minimal amount of effort? 
<br><br>
The sorcerer uses his dark arts to enslave an army of Black Ents to wage war upon the Dwarfs. Units of Black Ents repeatedly attack the Dwarf Encampment, but through considerable effort the Dwarfs are holding their own. 
<br><br>
How can you help them? Some of the Black Ents have been disguised as Dwarfs and are running amok on the Mainland. But be warned, these disguised Ents have a few tricks up their sleeve! Your mission is to kill as many of these infiltrators as possible and you shall be rewarded for your deeds!

The Dwarfs know that this siege upon them will be alleviated as soon adventurers like you respond to their call for help. In anticipation of their liberation from this war, they are crafting Freedom Cloaks that will aid in the extermination of this evil! Will you help the Dwarfs in their fight for freedom?

<p><blockquote>The 2010 Festival of Flowers has arrived! Flora, the Goddess of Flowers, and her assistant Mimosa have some fun and exciting items for you! As Flora looked down upon the Land of Aden, she determined that something needed to be done to spice things up a bit. So, she crafted some very powerful, mystical weapons!. Unfortunately, the magic within them is so great that they can only be held together on this earthly plane for a short period of time. You will have a variety of these to choose from but be aware that once the festival is over, Flora must reclaim the weapons. They are much too powerful to remain in the hands of mortals for too long!</blockquote></p><br>

<p><blockquote>Flora will give you the weapon of your choice, and your goal is to gather Bouquets of Flowers for her. All monsters have the possibility to drop these Bouquets as well as some candy to help you along your journey. Gather Bouquets and bring them back to Flora's assistant Mimosa to receive a special prize. The prizes Mimosa has waiting for you are also very powerful. With careful magic construction, they will remain intact for you to use for several weeks, but be forewarned that they can only defy the laws of physics for so long. As summer arrives, the power of these prizes will become too great for their earthly shells to contain them. Use your treats wisely for the time that you have them!</blockquote></p><br>

<p><blockquote>Flora has a wide variety of special weapons for you to choose from. She and her assistant Mimosa are located in Giran near the teleporter. She will sell you the weapon of your choice for 25,000 adena. You can purchase as many of these weapons as you like, but remember that they are only here for the week of the festival. They are made of Black Mithril so they do not safely enchant, but if you want to try your luck, you can always get a new one from her any time during the week. Here are the choices available.</p></blockquote><br>
