Here it goes, Kukish. The Divine Wizard Transformation. Kinda cool huh?!

So? How’s the Hellbound update to everyone?! To me is the same, lots of grinding and like every week after an update, lagging a lot. But i’m sure there are a lot of new things to enjoy, like the Underground Coliseum, the Fantasy Fun Island, the new transformations (the pic below is the Divine Rogue Transformation, if you want to see the Divine Wizard Transformation, pm me and I’ll post it here) and so on.

Oh, and after the Feathered Hat (that I’m still obssesed with…) I got a new one… the new Agathions!!! So cute xD I missed a lot on the PTS so I don’t know if only clan leaders can have it, because I saw somewhere that any player can get them now. Do you guys know something about it?

Beleth, Steel Citadel and The New Lvl Cap.. what do they have in common? Well, this:

Since the introduction of the high-level grounds called Hellbound in The Kamael, adventurers have been seeking a way into the deadly Steel Citadel and battle the epic boss Beleth himself. Now with the new update they have the chance they’ve been waiting for. After earning an extremely high level of trust from the Hellbound natives, adventurers will soon learn from them how to gain access into the Steel Citadel and the riches within—if they dare. In fact, players should make sure their characters hit the new level cap (Level 85) before going in.

(To read the whole article, click here )

Alright, i’d like to state that the following words are MY OWN OPINION as a player, NOT STRATICS… c’mon… lvl 85 sounds completely insane to me… 80 was crazy, now 85? At our xp rate? How long does a normal player will take to lvl up? Just to enter the Citadel (and probably die, because you’ll need more ppl who are crazy enough to reach that lvl).

I know that NC Soft had to add a purpose on the new level cap, otherwise it would be just like reaching level 80 (Everyone stops at 78…), but they should at least improve the xp rates a little bit… after all the Citadel sounds like a cool place, like a big challenge to complete…but right now i’m not that sure if it will be crowded… just my 2 cents…

I posted on Stratics earlier, but if you haven’t checked, NC Soft Korea announced the 2nd Throne, named Gracia, coming this spring (Yes, this year…). They even have a website about it, check it here. While they talk about the next Throne, we don´t even have the Kamael Plus Expansion yet… not even too much information about it…

On the teaser wallpaper, we can clearly see that those characters are flying on something (baloon? flying pirate ship? winged golem? any other ideias? haha), now im curious xD (Rheyla translation plz xDDDD hehehe)

It’s finally done… after hours of research and translating, Miz and I are able to deliver the article “Kamael Plus Update”. It’s not 100% accurate, but It’s the info we have until now. I’d like to thank landie and Grayjedi for their help! Enjoy! Go to this site and check it out!

In a few days (don’t know exactly how many) an article by me and miz will be on Stratics. I’m all excited about it, because it took a lot of time and research and to put all the information together. I can’t tell you what it is about (yet) , but I’m sure everyone will like it. Be sure to keep checking Stratics daily!

Oh, and about the board, I got it going on xD. It’s fully integrated with your site accounts. I’m working on a nice theme to apply on and voila! It will be finished really soon. Ah, almost forgot, if you have a blog/site (Rheyla, how could you hide it from us! :) ) just e-mail me the link and i’ll add it here.

Last night I wasn’t in the mood to level up, so I went all the way to the Fantasy Island, the new island near Orc Village that will be functioning on the next update, the Kamael Plus… and I have to say, It’s cute and creepy at the same time, it’s kinda Alice in the Worderland… (that movie is also creepy…)

At the Fantasy Island we will have NPC Parades 4 times a day, and depending on the game time we will be able to watch an unique show. Apparently on the afternoons the all the gaming features starts, you can sing (don’t ask me how… i just got the info on the korean site), watch NPC concerts and monster performances. Sounds cool.

My Arbalester is now level 55 (No, I wasn’t leveling… the second Boost happened) so I logged in to check the new skills and the stats, (Kamaels are strong, have higher critical rates than most of the other races and amazing speed but their HP/Pdef is really low… Oh, and those players who decide to play a Kamael will be pissed of by the amount of skills that requires Battle Manuals…). I bought a BW light set (Well, besides shooting like crazy and running faster than the wind, I do have a few magic skills…) and on the screenshot below I was transforming my Bow of Peril into a Hell Bound, the bowgun for the Arbalester class:

On my previous Kamael post, I was completely in love with 2 skills of the Berserker class… but after seying Decoy… AMAZING! I can duplicate myself to distract the target… (and the copy keeps performing a skill in small intervals, simulating an attack), check this out:

To create this guide, I collected all the names of basic materials from the Lineage II Official Website, I’m not sure if it’s complete, but this is the guide I made for my own hunting. The information on places and rates are from Lineage 2 Warehouse, my only trouble was putting all together. Please have in mind that most of those recipes were collected using a Spoiler Dwarf, in my case, PipiGold, if you are interested on hunting with any other class, feel free to pm me for mob locations, or go directly to the source.

I finally created my Kamael! But i’m off to work and the npc server is down, so no mobs atm. Anyway, the Kamael Town is bigger than Giran, and the new places are quite astonishing. I’m looking foward to see the dungeons and the Amusement Park XD. I was in a hurry, so i only took a few screenshots, i hope you like it!
