    Snowflake Festival

    Zachariel was a Great Mage of the Eye of Wisdom from the time 400 years ago when the Eye of Wisdom was still residing on the Kolydian continent. He was well known because of his benevolent deeds. In the midst of a harsh winter he would provide the needy with supplies.

    Once the people of the Eye of Wisdom had come to Candara, they decided to keep this habit in order to foster a peaceful relationship with the local people. When the season of heavy snow had come they would, just as Zachariel had done, wear a red robe and provide the local people with supplies. This gesture helped many endure the long winters and also built trust between the people and the Eye of Wisdom. Soon we were doing this every winter and it became a custom and was named the Snowflake Festival.

    After the Phirius Workshops had been set up, they meant to take advantage of this custom and decided to make some modifications to the red robe and thereafter let their people wear these robes while delivering presents to little children. Their actions won many praises from the people and also allowed them to make more money.

    The Phirius Workshops taking a fancy to this custom would make the Snowflake Festival an even bigger event in the years to come. Each year more and more people took part in these activities creating this wonderful and exciting atmosphere that we can experience during the winter season nowadays.

    Class Rebalancing for multiple Classes and Skills

    Scout

    • Increased Dexterity & Strength contribution to Physical Attack for better damage scaling.

    Scout/Rogue

    • “Sapping Arrow” now shares the same buff group as “Elemental Extraction” so they can’t stack

    Rogue

    • Increased Dexterity contribution to Physical Attack

    Mage

    • All fire-based skills (Flame, Fireball, Phoenix, Purgatory Fire) now use a different damage calculation

    Priest

    • Ice Fog II and Ice Fog III have been replaced by two brand new skills
      • Sys852901_name will provide an attack/cast speed buff for 12 people in party, with the same buff group as body vitalization and strong stimulant
