L2Stakato

The second season of L2Stakato on Gracia Epilogue starts November 13 at 19:00 Moscow time (UTC+3). Until launch, OBT runs from October 30: first-season characters are still in place, and a test button in Alt+B gives level and SP so you can quickly try out the changes.

EXP and SP x20, adena x25, drop and spoil x15. Premium doubles rates only on regular mobs and doesn't work on raid bosses and epics. Rewards from mobs well below your level are cut: 5 levels below gives half, 10 levels below gives nothing. Power-leveling a newbie on high mobs won't work either: party EXP is counted by each member's level.

No new locations or quests, the chronicle is classic. Conveniences are gathered at the Adventure Guildsman, who stands next to the Gatekeeper in every town. He has a buffer with its own sets (free up to level 79, buffs last an hour), a shop with A/B/C weapons and A sets, and a raid window. Skills up to level 80 are learned automatically, no books. The third class costs 2000 Silver Shilen. This currency drops from mobs and bosses, and it buys everything from the donate shop except cosmetics.

The drop has been cleaned up: D/C/B items and A armor parts no longer drop from mobs, but raid bosses from level 40 up give full items guaranteed. RBs 76+ were reworked for parties: phases, AoE strikes with a warning, enrage after 10 minutes of fighting, and hitting an RB 40+ turns on your PvP flag. Twice a day Rift Gates open on the map. Behind them is a separate copy of an A- or S-rank dungeon with a boss, and the gates stay up for 3 hours.

Seven Signs are disabled, the Catacombs are open to everyone, and Hellbound is available from day one. Swordsinger and Sword Muse got dances, Bladedancer and Spectral Dancer got songs, the Bishop gives Prophet resists, and tanks give Maestro buffs (these buffs don't work in the Olympiad). There are 14-day dailies, achievements, clan academy, TvT, CtF, Last Hero and DeathMatch events, and .acp auto-potions for premium. Three windows per PC.
