Too Much Note Taking This Weekend!
Event Period: 11/05/2011 – 11/06/2011
Event Type: Time Event (30 min)

As the saying goes, “When enhancing a skill, one must take notes.” Nah, we just made that up, but doesn’t it make sense? Log on with your character during the weekend for at least 30 minutes per day to receive ‘Camilla’s Skill Notebook’. From now on, always take notes to enhance those killer skillz.

Mechanics:
When players are connected during the weekend (Nov 5th and 6th) for 30 min, they will receive one ‘Camilla’s Skill Notebook (Event)’ item via in-game mail.

 

Skill Notes Arrive with November 2nd Patch

October 28th, 2011

This November 2nd patch, give those killer skillz a boost with the release of Skill Notes!

Skill Notes are useful items that can enhance your already awesome skills. Each one typically applies to a specific Active or Special Active skill, so you need to get the one that matches the skill you want to improve. Some Skill Notes may be acquired through dungeon drops or by completing certain quests, while others are available through the Item Mall. To be able to use one, you must complete the Skill Notebook quest from Ariel.

Also, we will be implementing a skill balancing update. This is to ensure the accuracy of skill values among characters across their different levels. It’s all technical, but we assure you, it’s all to make the game much better.

Watch out for the patch update on November 2nd. See what’s new with Ice Burners and get ready to amp it up with Skill Note Events!

Now Available at the Item Mall
