PATCH HIGHLIGHT: COIN SYSTEM OVERHAUL

Welcome back, warriors of Aegis!
A lot has changed, but don't panic—Zade’s still breathing down your neck. This patch marks the beginning of a cleaner, smarter, and way less brain-frying coin system. Let’s break it down.

What Changed?
The entire coin system has been rebuilt from scratch.
If you’re an old player wondering what the hell just happened—relax. This is good pain. Necessary pain.
And it’s gonna benefit everyone in the long run.

Here’s the deal:

• Two new coins:
  — Aegis Gold Shard
  — Aegis Gold Coin
• Exchange rate:
  10,000 Aegis Gold Shards = 1 Aegis Gold Coin
• All old coins are now discontinued.
  That includes MD, JD, Aegis Coin, and Euro Coins. Don’t cry—they served their purpose.
• Where to exchange:
  Visit EMIR'S Sheep in every Map 1 to convert your dusty old coins into fresh Shards.
• Old → New conversion chart:
  — 1 MD = 1 Aegis Gold Shard
  — 1 JD = 1 Aegis Gold Shard
  — 1 Aegis Coin = 3 Aegis Gold Shards
  — 10 Euro Cent = 10 Aegis Gold Shards
  — 1 Euro Coin = 100 Aegis Gold Shards

Shop Pricing Rebalanced
All shops now run almost entirely on Aegis Gold Shards.
Prices have been lowered to match, so you won’t need full Coins for 99% of items.
Old players hoarding coins? You’re probably sitting on mountains of full Coins now. Enjoy it—just don’t get cocky

Drop Rates Adjusted

• [] 99% of mobs and bosses now drop Aegis Gold Shards in reasonable quantities, scaled by difficulty.
  [] Drop rate has been reduced from 100% → 50% to prevent inflation.
• Ossarion is the exception. He still drops 100% because he’s your daddy.

Why This Change Is GOOD
Let’s be honest—5 coin types? That was a damn accounting job.
Now you’ve got one core currency. Simple. Focused. Understandable.
No more confusion. No more “What do I need to buy this?”
Just pure, direct power.

Final Thoughts...
We know some of you were farming Lilith like addicts for coins.
But... having it all in a week? That’s not endgame, that’s burnout.
Now you’ll still earn solid amounts, but if you want that stacked purse again?
Give it two weeks—if you grind like a beast.




CRAFTING SYSTEM REWORKED

Ready to evolve your gear? Because the crafting system just got a full makeover—and it never looked this organized or dangerous.
Say goodbye to messy upgrades and say hello to Blacksmith Husky—your new best friend
He’s waiting for you in every Map 1 and he’s packing more heat than ever.

What’s New?

• All crafting options have been centralized under the new NPC: Blacksmith Husky.
  No more hunting through random systems—everything’s in one place. Clean and Efficient.
• Multishop is now smarter and more transparent:
  — It supports up to 5 required items per purchase.
  — You can see exactly what you need to buy each chest.
  — Bonus preview? Yep, it shows what’s inside the box and what bonuses it carries. No more blind gambles.
• Upgrades now require tickets:
  — Normal Weapon = Normal Ticket
  — Double Weapon = Rare Ticket
  — Epic? You get the idea.

Item-to-Box Exchange: Replaced
Forget the old system. It's gone. In its place?
Exchange for Ticket — where you can trade your items for a proper upgrade ticket.
But don’t get cocky:

• [] This option unlocks only at Level 4000.
  [] You can use it only ONCE for Weapon, Outfit,Hairstyle or Armor and 6 times for accessories. No do-overs. No loopholes.

Why This Change Rocks
This rework cuts through the confusion like a hot blade.
Both systems—crafting and ticket exchange—are now accessible in Map1, side by side.
You’ll instantly understand what item tier you’re working toward and what you need to reach it.

No more vague “how do I upgrade this” questions. Now it’s crystal clear:
What you want = what you farm.
What you see = what you get.



SYSTEM CHANGES & QUALITY IMPROVEMENTS

Removal of Duplicate Outfit & Hairstyle Boxes
The boxes that offered Double Normal Hairstyles and Double Normal Outfits have been officially removed.
They were pointless, redundant, and let’s be honest… confusing.
If you still have one? Contact a Game Master

Rune System Overhaul
New icons, new clarity, new beginnings.
All starting players now receive +0 PvM Runes to kick off their journey. The old "Master" runes? Scrapped. They were about as useful as a wet sword.

To make things spicier:

• The General Store now sells two new boxes under the Rune section:
  — PvP Rune (1)
  — PvP Rune (2)
  Each gives you a full +0 PvP Rune set. Easy, clean, powerful.

Ticket Drops Added to Bosses
The new item upgrade tickets drop from bosses too.
Don’t ask where.
We’ll release a full drop list in the next days, so keep your eyes peeled, hunter.

XP Box 3 Exchange Modified
You can no longer exchange XP Box 3 for PvP Points.
Instead:

• [] PvP Points now drop directly from some mobs
  [] XP Box 3 can now be exchanged for a special Patch Item
  That item transforms into Aegis Gold Shards—and yes, you’ll want it now.

PvM Hairstyles Removed
Those classic PvM hairstyles in the general store?
Gone.
Completely useless. If you miss them… you’re the only one.

Point 8: Stack Size Increased
Inventory fiends, rejoice.
The max item stack has been boosted from 500,000 → 1,000,000.
Now hoard like the gremlin

Dungeon Teleportation Reworked

• [] After killing a boss that used to throw you out, you’ll now be teleported into a special transition map made for dungeon access.
  [] The Dungeon NPCs have been removed from Map1—no more clutter.
• The Teleport Ring now includes the Dungeon Map.

NPCs have been restructured for clarity:

• [] Dungeon NPC = All Easy Dungeons
  [] Dungeon NPC Hard = All Hard Dungeons
• Champion Maps = Now moved under Summer NPC

BALANCE CHANGES, SYSTEM RESTRICTIONS & PLAYER HUMILIATION

Wedding Ring Teleportation — REMOVED
I warned you. And you still abused it.
So now it's gone.
Teleporting via Wedding Ring has been removed.
We get it—you wanted more loot.
A little sneaky teleport here and there? Understandable.
Doing it a thousand times? Unforgivable.
You forced my hand. Consider yourself grounded.

Shaman Buff & Sura Protection Nerfed
Yup. It finally happened. That ridiculous strength boost from Shaman buffs and Sura protection (Black Magic) has been nerfed.
Heavily.

• [] Shaman Buff — still useful, still sweet… but not a cheat code anymore.
  [] Sura Protection — now requires actual skill to stay alive. Imagine that.

You’ll still get buffed—but don’t act surprised if you die.
No more one-buff armies.
No more passive facerolling.
You want kills? Earn them.

Because of this balance change, we’ve made another important adjustment:

• [] The damage of old bosses (Chaos, Apocalypse, Cataclysm, World Boss, etc.) has been reduced to 0.
  [] This was done to protect new players while we weed out the old buff-abusers.
• However, new dungeons are NOT soft. Their bosses hit. And they hit HARD.

Peach Wine Introduced
In light of the rebalance, we’ve added a delicious little savior:
Peach Wine — a consumable that gives you an instant +50,000 HP on use.
Use it. Abuse it. You’ll need it.

Get it by exchanging the following materials at Panda NPC:

• [] Hydros
  [] Verdanite
  [] Aetheris
  [] Nebulon
  [] Silvaris
  [] Aurelis
• Pulsarix

Exchange Rate: 1000 materials = 100 Peach Wines
Stock up—but don’t get too comfy...

Important Restrictions:

• [] Peach Wine cannot be used in Guild Wars.
  [] If you have any in your inventory, the system will block you from joining.
• The Warehouse quest also won’t appear while inside Guild War maps.

Why? Because this isn’t wine and cheese night.
You’re not gonna turn guild wars into a no-death eternity fest.

Exchange Rate:
1000 materials = 100 Peach Wines
Stay drunk. Stay alive.

HALL OF SHAME System Introduced
You die, you get exposed. Simple.
Every time you get killed by one of the new Supreme bosses, the server will announce everyone:

HALL OF SHAME: Player X was killed by Supreme Urdush / Supreme Boss Plant / Supreme Owl / Golden Dragon.


Removed Items:
The following items have been deleted from circulation:

• [] Old Perso Ticket
  [] PvP Dragon Bonus
• Exclusive Perso PvM Ticket

BUT don’t panic:
Everything removed can be exchanged into something useful at EMIR’s Sheep in every Map1.
Nothing wasted—just upgraded.



CONTENT EXPANSION & ENDGAME CHANGES

Four New Dungeons Added
Four new battlegrounds to test your will, gear, and patience.

• [] 2 Common Dungeons — where you’ll run into other players. Perfect for flexing or sabotaging.
  [] 2 Private Dungeons — solo or with your own party. No distractions. No excuses.

These dungeons drop the materials needed for the new Arcadia sets.
But beware—they’re brutal. You’ll need strategy, power, and yes… probably a resurrection or two.

We’ll release a video guide soon—because words won’t do these trials justice.

The Arcadian Gearset
New patch, new era.
We’ve added a brand-new set for everything:

• [] Weapons
  [] Armor
  [] Accessories
  [] Outfits

You can buy them at the Blacksmith NPC using the appropriate tickets earned through dungeons and drops.
These aren’t just upgrades—they’re status symbols.

Want to know the details?
Wait for the upcoming patch video—we’re saving the best reveal for last.

New Personalization Ticket (3D Models)
You asked.
And now it’s back.

The new Perso Ticket returns—for 3D Model Customizations only.
Yes, you’ll be able to get your visual identity on lock again—but don’t expect it to rain freebies.

• [] The drop chance is low
  [] It only drops from Golden Dragon — inside the new Hall of Treasure Dungeon
• No, it’s not 100%. Yes, you’ll need to fight for it.

Itemshop Offers Updated
We’ve reworked every itemshop offer to match the new coin system.
No more confusion—just clean, shard-based logic.

Everything from bundles to boosts now aligns with the new economy.


Final Note
There’s more to say, more to show, and more to feel.
All these changes—dungeons, gear, drops, and beyond—will be fully explained in the upcoming patch video.

And hey…
Thank you for sticking with us, or tolerating us, or just lurking silently while farming Lilith for 6 hours straight.
