A small update went live today, mostly just fixes. Here are the patch notes.

1) [ View ] link for receiving Boons in combat log goes to Boon Ship now.
2) Phoenix Key and Path Key parts are usable from within your inventory now to receive tokens.
3) Cloak can no longer be used to gain wfps and item xp on a square that your allies are gaining % on. Hide is unaffected.
4) Tainted Core Shield and Void Axe stats are changed to reflect the recent weapons/misc balance update.
5) Santa's Workshop job has been removed.
6) Added the Cabrusion Crystal and Core Shield Variant items from Steven's Christmas Giveaway to the game. They have been sent out to the winning players already.

Thanks,
Bongo.

The Shadow Facility is back (it should've been back like 1-2 days ago ) and so am I after hectic travel these past few days. I have helped almost everyone, save for 2 people, who had been affected by the Item XP transfer bug last week. I or someone will help the remaining 2 people later today as soon as we can.

Have a good week!

Shadow Facility is down due to XP transfer-related issues. The bug was that people were losing more/gaining more XP than what was specified and this is due to double gains. The forge apparently got too excited and incorporated double gains into its item xp transfers..........

Anyway, we're looking through logs but if you transferred some stuff and you're not happy with the results, please PM me so we can resolve your stuff while a fix gets applied for this.

If you have used the Forge to transfer XP since double gains went live, please check the following on items you used (more importantly, on the source items than the items you transferred to):

1. A level drop that causes your previously-higher level's crystal slots to be hidden with the crystal still equipped (so if you had a crystal and didn't get it back, then this applies to you).

2. Your XP went negative (so if you transfer enough xp to make your item level 1 with 0 xp, then it would go negative so again, PM me).

The fix is pretty small (once zorg gets on to do it) and restoring the items affected by the issues above shouldn't take too long since I can take care of that in-game.

Seriously, give me one double gains without my Game Breaker title being validated.

Just a heads up that double gains is now live. Thanks to a slight error when I looked at my calendar you guys get an extra day (you can thank Zach and GAGANB for pointing it out). This will go until the 8th at 08:00 AM EST (or server time).

As a reminder, this event will give:
-Double exp from fights (both PVP and hunting)
-Double item xp (armor, weapon, AND misc)
-Double warfare points
-Double honing exp
-Double job payout (but not job rank)
-Double energy per hour (400/hour)

And one other reminder:
Buffs you get from books or purchase do not stack. If you have the energy boost you will gain 440 per hour. But you cannot get 4x job payout and so on. So do not use these buffs during this time. You will unfortunately lose out on the benefits from the buffs.

So, have fun and Happy Holidays!
