Greetings Fiestans!

For this week, along with our regularly scheduled maintenance, we'll be implementing a few small fixes along with some new items. This will begin today, December 1st, at 10:00PM PST with a planned completion of 12:00AM PST.

Quests

"Shadow Monster? You there? Hello?" In tonight's patch we'll be fixing a server-side issue that prevented players from completing their level 20 job change because their shadow was nowhere to be found. It should be working properly after the fix.

All monsters within the Crystal Castle, including the bosses, has been given a boost in their resistance. The Lizardman, Great Orc, and Jewel Golems have all received a maximum HP and defense boost.

Events

"Gobble gobble!" That was Thomas the Turkey saying farewell since we'll be removing both the Thanksgiving quest and Thomas from the store, but don't worry, I'm sure we'll all see him again next year.

A big thanks to all who purchased Thomas from the Fiesta store whose proceeds have all gone to FeedingAmerica.org, whose mission is to feed America's hungry through a nationwide network of member food banks and engage our country in the fight to end hunger.

A new in-game event is on its way soon for the upcoming holiday, stay tuned for the update!

We've updated the event calendar with a couple of new events for you to hop into that will give you a chance to win some of our new holiday items, including some of our new weapon skins.

Items

In this update we'll be adding some "cool" new items that will be made available throughout the month during events, Remi's, James', or special store releases. These include:

The Wintertide Weapon Skins (More info on these HERE)
The Wintertide Sack
The Champion's Nightfall outfit
The White Knight outfit

Keep your eyes open for other rereleases happening this month.

The set items drops from Crystal Castle have been balanced.

To cater to some community requests, shield glow effects have been changed. The revised glows are pictured below:

Please note: +10 enhancements for shields ARE NOT available as of this patch, but this image shows what it will look like.

Miscellaneous

After this update, the server list order will be changed. The order will be as follows:

Cypion
Legel
Epith
Apoline
Bijou
Teva

To assist in the prevention of user "lag", the shadow effect will be changed slightly for all characters.

Fixed an issue that prevented some players from login in due to a "server down" error.

Fixed some text error that would appear in the descriptions for the Gaea, Beast, and Firmanent Set items.

That's it for this week!
