Foreword
We want you to know, that we've not given up on the Old School Server and that it's progressing fine. In this post we want to show you some of the features we are/have been working on and which features will be following in the future. We hope that you like our ideas but of course we are open for any feedback. If you don't like any of our ideas please speak your mind. And of course.
Let's start off with the rates we've been thinking about. They will not be the same as on the old Araz Old School Server, even though the main concept, which is free & "easy" equip is still being maintained, the rates will not be as high as before. The thing that many Servers struggle to fullfil is the balance between PvE and PvP, which is really important in an MMORPG. We know, that 4Story is not as popular as it used to be and that Araz only is a Private Server, who would invest their time into something that could be down within a few days? Right, that's why we decided to try out something "new". Our definition of new is as followed:
Rates
- Monster EXP Rate: Level 1-80 -> 2x
- Quest EXP Rate: Level 1-80 -> 3x
- Monster Money Drop Rate: 5x
- Quest Money Drop Rate: 3x
- Item Drop Rate: 3x
- Upgrade Rate: 1x (no changes)
- Refine Rate: 3x
- Magic Rate: 5x
The reason we made the rates from 80-90 so low, is because we want the max. level to be something to be proud of, something that is "hard" to achieve. The Upgrade rate is not changed, because it will be
really easy for players to get upgrade items. We don't want players to run around without equip, but also not with over powered equip.Items that are 20+ are worth something. Also, the Dungeon Equipment has been set to 20. Not only was the upgrade Level of Dungeon Items changed, but also the Options. The options are the max. options that can be gained on the Server and are only reachable from Dungeon (not from reagences etc.). We did this in an attempt to make Dungeon Items the main equip for players.
But, the dungeon 79 has been reworked. Monsters now have more HP and more Damage. This results in players to be forced to enter the dungeon with at least 3 players.
The available options are the following:
Item Options
- 16 Magic Speed, 22 Concentration: Dungeon 79 Wand
- 80 Magic Attack Rate, 40 Magic Crit: Dungeon 79 Staff
- 23 Long Range Speed: Dungeon 79 Bow
- 50 Attack Rate: Dungeon 79 Crossbow, Dungeon 79 Axe
- 23 Attack Speed: Dungeon 79 Claws, Dungeon 79 Two-Handed
- 30 Crit: Dungeon 79 1-Handed, Dungeon 79 Dagger
- 25 Block Rating: Dungeon 79 Wand, Dungeon 79 Shield
Old Jewel Options can be dropped & crafted.
How to get Items/Cash Items
- Dungeon 79 Boxes drop Cash Items
- Arahur/2nd Battle/Narwashi Boxes drop Cash Items
- Goddess Tears drop Uprade Items
- Area/Castle War rewards give upgrade items
- Can be crafted with Credit
- Spohr Guard
- And of course Cash Shop...
