Some Press Releases from the Kafra Headquarters:Amatsu

Once long ago, sailors from Alberta told an interesting tale about a seaman who suffered

through a violent storm. His ship was badly damaged and drifted aimlessly until iteventually washed up on an exotic land, full of strange plants and odd-looking houses . Locals offered him food, water, and shelter. After some time, theseaman was able to repair his ship and return to his home of Alberta.

Years later, after he had passed away of old age in his home, villagers found his nautical

charts aboard his old ship and brought them to King Tristan Gaebolg III. The king

announced that if anyone could gather more information about this land, he would be well

rewarded. Since then, many adventurers and brave captains alike have ventured into the

sea to discover more information about this land until, one day, an adventurer from the

mountain region of Payon, managed to reach the new land and document his route.Over time, people became familiar with the exotic culture of the island. As they learned

more about it, they learned of its name, Amatsu . They also discovered a castle to theeast named, "Lakeside Castle." This new discovery encouraged many adventurers, who had

become weary of the Emperium Wars and the Heart of Ymir, to start adventuring once

again.

Now, 5 years later, thanks to an agreement between King Tristan Gaebolg III and Ishida

Yoshinaga of Amatsu, an official trade route has been opened between the twocountries, and it is possible for everyone to safely travel between

Alberta and Amatsu .

Dungeon) , Island of Jawaii. Quests : Most of the quests from, or related to Amatsu. Marriage System : Couples can get married in the Prontera Church (straight couples

only) or in the Lutie Chapel (allowing same-sex marriages).

Note: Even though we decided to keep the 'beta' title for thisepisode, we're confident about the server's stability, so it's planned

that NO WIPES will (ever) occur past this stage.

Floating Exp Rates event

8/11/2019 Origins Ro

5/17

With WoE on a hiatus, guilds have the chance to organize and prepare to face the one thatwas currently dominating the scenario. We'll give you the chance to level & gear up withthis weekend's floating experience event!

On August 24th and 25th we will have floating rates on the server. Itwill start after Saturday night's maintenance. We will try our best to do this as early as

possible, but there is still some work to do.

But what are these floating rates?

Every hour an experience rate will be randomly chosen from 6.0x to 8.0x. Yes, base and job experience will be adjusted to the same rate. And yes, this also can be

6.4 or 7.9. These rates only count for normal monsters. Quests and MvP experience rates are not

affected by the floating experience rates.

About the upcoming update , we can proudly announce Amatsu will be in it. We willalso add the marriage system, not just for straight couples, but also for couples of the samesex! For those who want to lend their accounts to other people we have good news, too.The guest account system will receive an update to increase security for those who lend outtheir beloved characters!

WoE hiatus: a chance to catch up and bring in somenew competition

Dear warrior, this is your chance to go level and gear up!

8/11/2019 Origins Ro

7/17

After the long awaited War of Emperium update, a single guild emerged victorious almostevery single battle held weekly. With some guilds having quit and others just lackinggeneral organization, we have agreed, and with support from the current castle holders, toremove their ownership of the castle and lend everyone a chance to prepare themselveshard for challenging battles to come.

Don't feel down, though. If are interested, the war schedule will be resumed after someconditions, to be soon announced on the forum, are met. Right now, our recommendation isthat the guilds who wish to WoE should take this time to improve their conditions, and thatsmaller guilds team up in alliances to prevent single large groups from dominating thescenario. It's with great sorrow that we announce this temporary halt, but we believe it isnecessary for balance to be reached again (and without unnecessary wipes).

For more information, keep an eye on this thread . Don't forget to join during the floatingrates event weekend, by the way!

Some Press Releases from the Kafra Headquarters:Umbala

According to legend, there is a forgotten path somewhere near north Comodo. At the end of

the path, there is a giant tree from which treasure springs forth. It has been said: "Men

ruled by avarice will obtain treasure. But men who are not will be led to a new world."

After several years of research around Ruande and Zenhai Marsh, the long forgottenpath has finally been found .Through an old wooden bridge, over a canyon that makes you understand how small and

insignificant humans can be, adventurers can reach a great jungle forest, so large that it

almost envelopes the sky. Far into the jungle, there is a small tribalvillage full of people wearing strange masks who worship the Mother Tree. They callthemselves the Utan Tribe of Umbala .Rumors say that the Umbala Tree may be related to the Yggdrasil Tree , andadventurers may be able to reach another world through it.
