And here it is. Destiny update 1.0.4 with some new content for you guys to enjoy

More content will follow in update 1.0.5, we didn't want to go too fast.

Update 1.0.4 focuses on fixing existing problems the server while adding some new content for you guys to enjoy. We took it a bit more slowly than we initially had in mind, not only the release time but also the content of the release. In 1.0.5 we will see new farming zone(s) which were planned for 1.0.4.

There are some new existing features in this update that will need to go through live testing and tweaking before we will get it at the point where we want it to be. One thing I am excited about is the Clan Hall sieges which are triggered by you guys on demand. So, enough talking - let's get to the patch notes.

Patch notes: Destiny 1.0.4

1. NEW Added Devastated Castle and Fortress of the Dead Clan Hall Sieges. Every 7 hours clans can commence a siege on one of these clan halls by showing up with a full party of hostile forces (a full party with people from the same clan or alliance) near the Clan Halls. You are then given 15 minutes before the clan hall siege starts. In these 15 minutes, all forces can prepare or other forces can declare an attack on the Clan Hall. This means several clans can all declare an attack on the Clan Hall by simply grouping up with a full force of people from the same alliance. After 15 minutes the siege starts. The current owners of the Clan Hall are reset and kicked out of Clan Hall's territory. This makes it such that there is no defending side during the Clan Hall siege. Clan Hall sieges work fully retail-like and only have a slightly reduced monster count. The goal is to kill the raid boss inside the Clan Hall, whoever kills it claims the Clan Hall siege and is given the Clan Hall passive: Lord of the Iron Castle (Grants you +3% PvP damage and increases your buff capacity by +2 for holding Devastated Castle) for Devastated Castle and Lord of the Undead (Grants you +3% PvP damage and all clan skills for your clan rank for holding Fortress of the Dead) for Fortress of the Dead. A Clan Hall siege cannot be commenced in the first hour after the server got back up again after a reboot.

These sieges will most likely need a lot of tweaking and changing of the system for it to become the feature we want it to be. Please give us input and tell us all about these sieges. We want this to be a key feature of the game rather than something which is not appreciated. Thank you very much.

2. NEW Added ability accessories to the game: Silk Shirt of Aegis, Silk Shirt of Bravery, Silk Shirt of Empowerment and Silk Shirt of Elegance. Shirts can be bought at the Armor Shop in Giran Castle Town. In order to make use of its effect, you will have to Master the shirt. This can be done by killing monsters in the party hunting areas when having the item equipped. Each monster in the party area has a chance of giving AP. The chaotic zones in the party area add an additional 30% to the chance of receiving Ability Points and have a higher rate of receiving 1 extra AP per monster.

3. Added the X-Mas event. You can now craft Christmas Trees at the NPCs in town. You can also exchange for a Special Christmas tree by exchanging two regular Christmas Trees for a Special one. The special one gives a buff that increases your EXP, SP, Adena, Item drop and Item spoil rates for 1 hour. You can be kind and place Special Trees for everyone at the Giran gatekeeper. Or be selfish and put one in your Clan Hall. It's all up to you.

4. Added Chaotic Zone to Pagan's Temple Deep with higher drops. The Chaotic Zone starts after the Doors of Darkness that lead up to the raid boss: Andreas van Halter.

5. Added Chaotic Zone to Primeval Isle with better drop chances. The Chaotic zone is located deep into Primeval Isle. To be precise: From spawn run into the cave, head left after you come out of the cave, then run straight until you reach the ramp. Go up the ramp and turn left again. This is the plateau where the Tyrannosaurus is also located. Luring monsters out of the Chaotic zone does not work. The monster needs to have spawned and died inside of the chaotic zone in order to receive the drop chance bonus.

6. Ancient Adena now also drops in the party zones of Primeval Isle and Pagan's Temple.

7. The chance of receiving an Armor Recipe Fragement is now 300% higher.

8. The chance of receiving an Weapon Recipe Fragment is now 50% less.

9. Drastically lowered the respawn time of monsters in the Imperial Tomb. This should take care of the problem players were having.

10. Boosted drop rate of A-grade armors in the solo zone significantely.

11. Boosted drop rate of A-grade weapons in the solo zone significantely.

12. We have increased the amount of Ancient Adena that drops in the solo area.

13. All Star Raids now reside in Chaotic Zones.

14. Increased the drop rate of the 24th buff slot book dropping at Regular Raids from 1% to 4% and from Star Raids from 30% to 60%.

15. Changed the respawn time of Orfen and Core to 60 hours. (2.5 days)

16. There are no more monsters after the bridge of Lair of Antharas right before the Heart of Warding Antharas teleporter.

17. Lair of Antharas deep is now a No Captcha Zone. You will not be prompted for captcha here.

18. The PvP-damage dealt by dagger classes has slightly been reduced.

19. Greater Group Heal now does not consume a buff slot.

20. Fixed an issue where Heart of Paagrio would remove Might. This no longer happens.

21. Valakas's Lava Skin (Ultimate Defence) has been nerfed from 900% defensive stats to 80% defensive stats.

22. The Pipette Knife quest item can now be destroyed.

And so we are proud to present Destiny 1.0.4. We hope you will like the new changes. Very soon Destiny will have one of L2Sublimity's signature features - Phoenix armory. With that, we will also release a new zone and more content for you guys to enjoy. Thank you for playing L2Sublimity and making it possible for me to do what I love to do.
