The "Coming Soon" Thread

[GM-Ciar]

Starting on Approximately September 30th, the item known as Pixie's Letter will become account-bound, and will no longer be trade-able, vend-able, or movable across different accounts or guild storage. If it is in a guild storage and withdrawn, it will no longer be able to be placed back, and while it will still be movable around regular storage, there's plans for it to be consumed via an NPC for various permanent perks in Faeheim, for which we suggest you keep it on your main account.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Some less exciting news, but short pain is better for the server long term.


Let's talk Bee Wings. In fact, Test/Dev talked about it for a long, long time since 2017. We sat on it in 2018... but we plan to unearth it and work on it again.


On top of quality of life improvement for the item along with making that quest bit less annoying with all the walking, we're looking at focusing on Bee Wings to assist with AD, Potion brewing, cooking (cooking set only), EDP and web, as it was originally intended to, and not to sell its items for zeny.

Even though we're still doing calcs so nothing is finalized, we know that the final zeny gained from bee wing is definitely going to drop very sharply. Some items are either standing on mining's niche, or they are just pure zeny generator with no other known contribution. The items that bee wings can generate is going to be changed.

On the bright side, we also plan to add new items such as cactus needle, poison spore, fabric, white herb, red herb, and blue herb to new bee wing list. This should ease the annoyance of all the AD/EDP brewing work.


So take this as a "warning" now: use it now at its current form if you think that you'll "miss" it.



As usual: all test/dev info are subjected to change at any moment.

For more information on current version of Bee Wings, it's in our wiki: http://www.pandoraonline.net/heRO_wiki/i...=Bee_Wings
