Nightfall Patch Notes
New Game Features:
1) New Maps: Nightfall Citadel and Aepelio
- Travel to the lost kingdom of Aepelio by visiting any teleporter. This map is most useful to characters between Lv60 and 80, but anyone can visit and take in the sights.
- Explore Nightfall Citadel to see many of your old friends from Freedom Harbor in their new Shops, including a brand new Tavern for Charlie.
- The untamed lands of Aepelio are still shattered from the wars that raged through the kingdom. Killing the monsters outside the Citadel will give you greater Soul Power rewards, as well as the chance to drop special items.
- All maps are now available to any level player. Levels listed are the recommended levels for those zones.
2) Quests and Events
- A new batch of Daily quests are available in Nightfall Citadel. Check the Daily Event tab for details of the new Quests: Run Boy, Run, Nightfall Secrets, and Watch Rotation. All three quests will give Nightfall Reputation and a chance at Soul Power.
- Speak to Claudius Aepelio Daily to receive a new quest to unlock the Treasury. Fabulous rewards can be gained after unsealing a treasury card.
- New Kill Quests: Available from Melinda in Nightfall Citadel. These can be purchased for a wide variety of level ranges and with give EXP and, later, Soul Power rewards.
- Exp Transfer for High Level mentors: At Level 70 and above visit the Airship in Nightfall Citadel to purchase an Ancient Box for mentor points. Unlock the box with Exp to receive a Holyspirit Sutra which can be used by characters up to Lv69 for large amounts of Exp.
3) Soul Power: Dyos' Virtue or Nyos' Vice
- Choose the path of the gods through a new Main Quest for Lv60+ players starting at Ferrie in Freedom Harbor. This quest will take you through the new maps and introduce the system.
- Soul Power is gained by killing monsters Lv60+, with bonus amounts from the monsters scattered around Aepelio and inside instances.
- Runes drop from Lv60+ mobs. These can be used to power up specific talents. Combine Runes at Josselyn in Nightfall Citadel. Make sure to try out all the combinations, choosing the right runes can mean the difference between vanquishing your foes or waiting for that resurrection.
4) Flying Mounts
- Accept the Quest Taking Flight from Flying Tutor Nadine in Freedom Harbor to unlock the ability to fly.
- Flying mounts are available from Nadine or the Eyrda Boutique. Keep an eye out for other hidden ways to get a special flying mount.
- There are two speeds of flying. Cruising costs Mana, and Accelerating costs Flying Energy. Press E to switch quickly between the two flying modes.
- Flying is leveled simply by being on your flying mount. Every minute you will Gain 1 point of Flying Exp.
- Flying Mounts can have their Primary and Secondary Colors Dyed to make them stand out even more. This is available at Nadine, or the Flying Tutor in Nightfall Citadel.
- Several Flying Daily quests can be found around the main cities. Keep trying them to win random dyes for your mounts and Sky Emblems needed to raise your flying level.
- Don't be afraid to explore! There are new flying bosses on most maps to provide an extra challenge to taking to the skies.
5) New Instances
- New Gear Instance: Tomb of Kings. This instance is for players Lv75+. The entrance can be found at Ramses Desollar just outside of Nightfall Citadel. Test yourself against the traps within the tomb to steal Akena Desollar's lost treasure!

- New Random Instance: Defend Dusk Town! This instance is for Lv60+ players. Enter from a Random location every hour to fight to reclaim Dusk Town from invading monsters. Use scrolls to summon the final boss for a chance at more Runes and Soul Power. Rumor has it one of the bosses might have a flying mount!
6) Guilds
- Immortal Rift is now a Territory Wars system. While the method of battling will be the same, Guilds can now take and defend different regions of Eyrda.
- Sign up for Territory Wars at Leonidas at the same time as Immortal Rift Bidding used to be.
- Rewards are based on the power of your chosen Deity, so don't be afraid to help out guilds that are on your side!
- Each zone you enter will display the name of the Guild that controls it. Will your guild be the first to dominate Eyrda?

I want new ways to earn high experience please.
grrrface @ Mar 27th, 2012 6:57AM
I like all they added at least no hyper stones like on PWI
searb @ Mar 27th, 2012 1:52AM
i totally disagree with raise level cap, i am tired of leveling, so when they will raise, i quit,one month for one level? slave time ended some time ago.
vikulia
If you don't want to level, just don't. No one is forcing you.
grandemperor18
LOL!
tientiensuser
To remain competitive. You would have to. If they are going to raise the level cap, which they arent. They would have to adjust the leveling speed for new players and old players alike. But specifically new players. New players are usually scared off by high level caps.
kansulautsan
So u prefer china farming some gold or cashing to stay competitive instead of leveling to advance? Not so sure, that ai'nt some kind of slavery, as you put it, aswell. Not haveing been able to gain exp for quite a while for all those necessary quests one needs to do nor haveing a perspective when to gain exp again is kind of definitely demotivating aswell.
tientiensuser
It is a Chinese game. But grinding to level up is equal to farming in every way unless you Advance trained. Leveling is just a time sink. There would be no motivation to perform it if it wasnt to make your character stronger. Not much different from gear grinding or gem grinding.
snidelung @ Mar 27th, 2012 1:44AM
I can't wait *-* I want that patch and the flying mounts.... *-*
kansulautsan @ Mar 26th, 2012 7:47PM

vetire @ Mar 25th, 2012 12:35PM
Ah one more thing, changing look chars, hmm maybe item for this from EB...
vetire @ Mar 25th, 2012 12:29PM
What's about double mount? That option isn't working now... I think, that they should make better pvp, because is just boring. That's all.
gretelin @ Mar 25th, 2012 10:04AM
Yeah and because of all this you toke away the expx2 on mobs and x3 on quests... At least keep the 2x on mobs so god's trial has some reason to be done.
yunghsunlee @ Mar 25th, 2012 9:43AM
Think PWE is doing a good job on FW :D
reyiookawa @ Mar 25th, 2012 9:38AM
