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!

Just wanted to write a small update regarding the Halloween event and fixes mentioned in Zorg's last blog post.

Firstly, the fixes Zorg mentioned aren't in the game yet. This is my fault, because I failed to mention to Zorg that the Halloween event and the bug fixes were in two separate branches. Sorry about that, they should be up soon though.

Secondly, the Halloween event came with a bug initially where the Double Energy buff from the Spooky Book was not awarding double energy as intended. This has been fixed now, so it's safe to use your Spooky Book.

Lastly, I'm aware that Stramineus is not rewarding a hunting banner when you defeat him. The banner is in the game and linked to Stramineus, just not sure why it isn't being handed out. I'm looking into it, worst comes to worst I can make a query to reward the banner to everyone who hunted him at the end of the event.

Other than that, hope everyone is enjoying the event so far. I am open to any comments or criticism in the main forum thread. It's my first event, so I'm hoping I can improve for the next one I run.

Double Gains is now live until approximately 7AM May 15.

For those confused as to what this means, that means the same as last time Double Gains was live.

To be more specific:
-Double energy (400/hr)
-Double job payout (per job)
-Double item xp gain
-Double xp from fights (PVP and Hunting)
-Double WFP gains
-Double xp from honing

And because I'm sure it is a question: various plat boosts will stack as well, such as the Energy Boost (so you get 440 energy/hr)

Also, I am not sure if this includes drop rates and ability points. I will ask Aldo for clarification on this.

You vile creatures, let it be known that I will get my revenge. You make me sick, disgusting excuses of an organism that I've ever been forced to see.

Die. Vile creatures. I'll be back soon... for you..
