To 2024 and beyond
4 changes are coming to Legacy Rising to bring more fun and joy to you - time to get back to the grind, build your legacy and rise to power!
Update will take place 05.01.2024 from approx. 8pm-10pm CET.
Venture into Devils Garden alone or with up to 4 people
Once a day you have the chance to open a dimension pillar, bought from the Dungeon NPC located in every city to enter the Devils Garden.
Inside Devils Garden you will face powerful monsters and uniques. During your strenuous battle you have the chance to obtain SOX Crates and kill monsters with a high drop rate of elixirs and other items. At the end of the battle you will be rewarded with a Legacy Flag Blue Changer to re-roll the blues on your Legacy Flag.
The Legacy Flag is an improved Gold Dragon Flag. To upgrade your Gold Dragon Flag to the Legacy Flag you have to purchase a Legacy Flag Upgrade Scroll from the Premium Item Manager. Once you have a Legacy Flag you can use the Legacy Flag Blue Change and try your look to improve your Legacy Flag.
You can obtain up to 4 lines of blues with the following stats per line:
-
STR (1-5)
-
INT (1-5)
-
Monster ignore
-
Crit
-
Block
-
Luck
But be aware, every re-roll may change the number of blues you already have and the stats per blues. It will always be a gamble!
Bringing balance to the Job System
We have very closely monitored the development of the job system and spend many hours following trader, hunter and thieves around.
It is becoming more and more obvious, that despite an equal effort of hours spend in the job that trader and hunter are progressing a lot faster than thieves. We have therefore decided to bring back more balance to the job system to make it more fun for everyone. We will therefore make changes along 3 dimensions:
-
Increase EXP and gold for thieves by increasing the value of trader goods
-
Slightly reduce trade rates per route to yield the same gold reward per trade
-
Slightly reduce required job experience to reach thief levels
Now let me explain what this means for you as a trader, hunter or thief:
Trader
Your job level remains the same and you will make the same amount of gold per trade as before. The only change is that the value of goods will increase slightly therefore increasing your risk slightly. But more risk is more fun, right? And its for a good cause after all. A balanced server is a good server that will bring long-term fun.
Hunter
Your job level remains the same and you will make the same amount of gold per trade. There are no changes for hunter.
Thief
Your job level will increase slightly and for each trade you will rob you will make more gold because the goods are now more expensive.
Please keep in mind that a balance in the job system is essential to make the server a long-term success. Trading should always involve a certain amount of risk. We have spend a considerable amount of time to monitor the system. These changes will bring back balance to the system and hopefully we see many more successful trades, robs and epic job fights.
Welcoming new players and helping them catch up
Legacy Rising is in a very good state after a bit more than 2 months. We have had great events a lot of action and just recently some valuable drops in D10.
Word travels fast in the private server world and we have a constant influx of new players who decide to build their legacy and rise to power. We have decided to increase the base rate of EXP and SP by 30% to help these new players catch up faster and join the high level players in their ventures.
We will continue to have EXP and SP events on weekends which will further increase the new base rate. So if you have a friend wanting to start or you want to start a second char now is the time!
Achieving the sweet spot
Just like with any other change we bring, we have closely monitored the drop rates and have recently already made adjustments, which have been welcomed by everyone. Players are now able to farm up to 30-40 jewel boxes per hour as a solo player with a bit of luck on their side and on a good grinding spot.
Nevertheless, we see that the market for elixirs is still comparably illiquid with few elixirs on sale for those looking to try their luck in alchemy. Furthermore, we think a slight additional increase of the rates will be good to make the grind more rewarding solo and in party.
Therefore, we will make the following additional changes to drop rates:
-
Increase elixir drop rate in B4 from +15% to +25%
-
Increase elixir drop rate in job temple from +15% to +25%
-
Increase T3 treasure crate drop chance by 10%
These additional changes, in line with the big increases of rates in the previous update, now mark the sweet spot where grinding and fighting in parties is rewarding while still maintaining a good balance and keeping the long term perspective of the server in mind. We hope you enjoy the additional elixirs and T3 treasure crates you can obtain.
Celebrating the new update with you
Right after the update we will hold a big Unique Event at Jangan South to celebrate those changes with you. You can look forward to:
-
Titan Uniques
-
Beginner Uniques
-
Pandora Boxes
-
Special Legacy Uniques
-
and more ;)
We are looking forward to see many of you there. All players will profit from the event. We especially encourage all high level players to invite new players to parties to help them gain some EXP and SP. See you at Jangan South on 05.01.2024 around 10pm CET.
Last but not least an outlook what else is to come in the future
