The Outspark Insider
November 3rd, 2009
Fiesta Game News

It's another Outspark Insider for the Fiesta Community!

As our events have been going lately, I'm dedicating this installment to those resilient few who always seem to catch me when I hop on a server, whisper me like crazy, and immediately go for the dance and hugs (and for some of you, "GLOMPS"). Thanks for making the experience that much more entertaining... sometimes.

For a couple of hours our servers will be shut down in order to perform our maintenance, at which time we can reflect a bit on what's to be expected when the servers are back. So let's get to it.

The Crystal Castle

For those of you who haven't heard, the Crystal Castle is a new instanced dungeon, rather similar to the tower of Iyzel, that's located in the corner of Uruga.

This new challenge will give our players a chance at some new items and bosses never seen before. It will be available for levels 60 - 69. Gear up, and get at it!

Rested Experience

This nifty new feature will allow players to accumulate a certain amount of time where their experience received from mobs will be boosted by an extra 10 percent! The time is accumulated when the player is logged off, here's how it works.

For every 6 hours that a player is logged off, they will receive 10 minutes of the EXP boost. Every hour logged off past that time will accumulate another 10 minutes. The maximum amount of accumulated minutes cannot exceed 2 hours (120 minutes). If only a portion of that time is used within that session, the remaining time will be saved and will continue to accumulate more after another 6 hours of offline time has passed.

There will be an icon indicating the remaining time along with the other buffs, under your HP/SP meters.

Events

The month of November brings us some new fun events that may take us out of the game every once in awhile. We're starting to utilize our Fiesta Facebook fan page a bit more along with Twitter and our blog. Keep an eye out for those events.

Also coming back this month is the return of Date a GM! This month we're featuring Nekopon and Tokara.

No more Halloween quest, but fortunately, the Thanksgiving one will be available to everyone soon.

Hop on the forums and check out the details on the event calendar for these upcoming events.

Items

In celebration of the release of the new dungeon and apparently... hearts, we're packaging a nice discounted bundle with an EXP Booster and a Hunter's War Rant for those anxious to get that new gear, along with another package that contains two items that were previously available only in Remi's Rare Finds which contains our latest Engagement Costume and the Heart Pegasus. You can find them both in the Fiesta store here:

Dungeon Booster
The Heart Pack

Both items will be made available beginning Wednesday, November 4th at 12:00AM PST.

More features and fixes for tonight's maintenance can be found in Snappo's new's post HERE.

There's also another small thing that's been added to the In Development page that you're welcome to check out. More info for that particular feature will be on its way soon.

Have fun!
