Tales of Pirates: Industrial Forging

The players from Tales of Pirates (http://top.igg.com) recently had some fun with an industrial experiment in game. In the last chapter we heard about Analyzing, today we will continue with a quick glance at another handicraft, Forging.

Many players have strong interests in forging because through forging they can create whatever gear they want or need themselves. There is no need for them to fight hard with BOSSes and hoping the gear drops are exactly what they want, they get it right the first time!

Necessities for Forging:

Fairy Analyzing Skills: Can be learned from the Lifeskill Book of Forging Pet Fairies.

Blueprint: The design drawing, of which the rank must be smaller or equal to the character’s forging skill level.

Tool: Anti Matter Crystal.

Forging Effect: When the forging begins, the dice will start to shake. Players will need to guess Big or Small. The guess will determine the outcome of the forging.

Analyzing Flow:

Find the Big Furnace at Thundoria Castle (759, 1474).

Click to open the Forging page, and then drag the necessary items, Blueprint, pet Fairy, raw materials and Anti Matter Crystal into their corresponding positions. Remember the Blueprint must be put into first slot!

Click Start, then the progress bar below will begin to move. Watch the dice on the right side, they will then start shaking. Players will need to guess Big or Small. Your guess will determine the outcome.

Voyage Century: Pet Basics

Today the folks at Voyage Century are going to talk to you about how to raise your pet.

There are always times in game that can be lonely. Solo quests, or perhaps you’re into a late night session and all your friends are asleep. Pets can help you alleviate this sense of loneliness. But do you really know how to take good care of your companions and how your pets can help you?

1?The quickest time spent raising a pet from level 1 to level 100 should be 43 days.

2?A pet’s health decreases by 1 every 15 minutes. A first aid kit from the Item Mall can restore 10 health, so for those 43 days of development, a pet will consume about 400 first aid kits.

3?A pet’s satiation drops by 1 every minute. Pet food can restore 1 satiation so for those 43 days of development, a pet will consume 60,600 pet foods.

4?A pet has 5 different basic attributes, HP, attack, defense, hit rate, and dodge. 1 level improvement will increase a pet’s Max HP by about 46, and increase the other 4 attributes from 0 to 4 respectively.

What can a high level pet do?

If players take their advanced pets into a fight with some tough monsters, the experience and loot will be much easier to obtain. Because the Exp from killing monsters all goes to you and your high level pets, your pet can help shield you from taking considerable damage. For instance, an advanced fox has a high dodge rate, so it can be used as an ideal tank when you fight against a Guardian Beast.

Never underestimate how much a high level pet can help. Take your time and invest in the future.

Most of you who like 2D MMORPG must have already tried this free mmoprg - Phoenix Dynasty Online already. The most interesting stuff will be that 5-element system is integrated into all systems. Beside that, item crafting and loads of quests also distinguished this game from another famous kungfu 2D MMORPG - Conquer Online.

We have heard from Ingle Games that they are going to release the expansion pack within this week. And we’ve got first hand materials of this expansion pack. If you are a fan of Phoenix Dynasty Online, if you want to try this game out, do continue reading.

There are totally four big updates for PDO: Refining System, Marriage System, New Homeland Battle(Guild Wars) and New Series Quests.

Refining system

The item crafting system has long been the game’s unique feature. It enables players to forge enchanted items, helping them wipe out formidable foes on the way to ascend to become true heroes.

In patch 7205, a new system, item refining system, will be introduced in the game. Unlike the item crafting system, it serves players as a function to upgrade their items, including weapons, armor, necklaces and rings. After refining, the basic attributes of these items such as attack force and defense will be substantially enhanced.

Marriage system

Love connects people and gives them strength. Even the greatest warrior, when suffering defeats, needs the gentle touch and minute care from his lover.

Players now don’t need to worry about fighting atrocious monsters without being firmly supported. In patch 7205, you and your lover can forge an unshakable alliance by entering matrimony; therefore you can do quests and vanquish monsters with sweet conjugal felicity! By doing so, you can declare your unswerving love to your beloved in face of other players! In addition, a grand wedding ceremony can be held to witness your sweet combination.

New Homeland Battle

A large variety of Guild War buffs will be introduced in Patch 7205. They can turn you into an almost monstrous form and then endow you with unbelievably mighty battle effectiveness. With the help of such powerful buffs, even your foes’ unyielding will and extraordinary power may prove insufficient against you. But beware, for your enemies will not go down without a fight, do expect them to resort to the buffs also. Who shall reign? Who shall fall? You greatest challenge yet waits.

In addition, as a special reward for Guild War winners, five different war elephant mounts can be purchased in Patch 7205. Not only cool and formidable in appearance, they possess different abilities that to a large extent convenience you. The most superior type, Holy elephants, even has a formidable fighting skill protecting you from monsters. Owning the war elephant mount shows you are a true warrior, a Guild War winner, also it attracts envious attention when you stride along the road!

New series quest

You rose up and braved the perils of Zhou state; you faced off against the might of Hidden Sun Cult itself and you prevailed. Now the ring of fate finally brings you against the most ferocious, brutal, and powerful force, the land of wander. Vanquished and banished generations ago, it now comes back with vehement vengeance to devour all.

In this expansion, a new series quest requiring above-average fighting skills and high coordination will be presented. If you’ve completed all primary quests, you can get the quests from the Elder in Phoenix Village.

You will venture deep into the Wonder Land, a once-peaceful and divine place, to join a mysterious alliance and to confront the Dreamy Legion. The epic battle will eventually bring you against the Dreamtime Tyrant himself, the source of all evils and the corruption plaguing the land. You must defeat him to save the land and its inhabitants. Prepare yourselves, fearless warriors!

There are some other fun stuff: Offline Training ground, New PVP(notice: not PK, it’s PVP) rules, new skills, new suits and some new mounts, especially Elephants! As far as I know, they are the largest mount among all 2D MMORPG.

If you never played Phoenix Dynasty Online, or if you are closed beta testers, you should try this game out.

Ingle Games announced today that it will start the second round of Closed Beta Test for its new-concept mythic MMORPG, Magic World Online (MWO) on April 6, 2008. The goal of this round of Closed Beta is to perform thorough stress test on the game servers, which can host up to 3000 peak con-current players per server group. The publisher decides to offer open registrations and invite everyone to join CB2. More excitingly, all CB2 testers’ accounts and characters will be preserved from this moment on, and there will be no more server wipes.

Meanwhile, Ingle Games announced that the recent MWO CB1 test was a tremendous success due to the help of over 800 devoted players. The game servers were was running smoothly, and the developers have fixed all of the major bugs in the game.

The CB1 testers were thrilled about some of the unique features of Magic World Online, such as the in-game Video Chat System and the Robot System. The Video Chat System allows you to see who you are playing with, and gives you more chance to make new friends in the magic world. The Robot System allows you to free your hands from the boring mouse clicking, and provides you a more relaxing game-playing environment: you can eat dinner, go to bathroom, chat, etc, while your character is non-stop leveling in game. While botting is a big problem and illegal in most MMORPGs, Ingle Game has found an innovative way to solve this problem and provide fair and better game-play for all players. Now botting won’t be your sin, but your genuine pleasure!There are many other interesting features awaiting you and your friends in MWO: an in-game GPS auto-navigation system that saves you the trouble of walking around the vast map?Raising a loyal mount that can enhance your character?

Ever wanting to own a house with classy furniture and a beautiful maid? You can have anything within your imagination come true in MWO.

The game-art is drawn by famous Japanese designer Senri Kita, best known for her artwork in Samurai Shodown, as well as in other titles from SNK and Capcom. The game allows for battles between schools, and in the future there will be country to country battles as well. WoKF also incorporates many of the new elements that were tested in the closed beta version. In addition to new NPCs and new items, the item mall has been significantly expanded.

Over time, we expect this to be one of the outstanding and truly unique features of WoKF because it creates community and deepens players’ involvement,” says Kris Doane, Executive Producer.
