-Feature Story

After the Spirit Guardians were introduced (Tinky and Cantle), many players were happy to see these ¡°flying¡± guardians and would think to themselves, ¡°I wish I could fly like them too!¡± Now, we bring you this month¡¯s feature story/item of the month: Fairy Spirit! You can get these fairy spirits through Gold, Silver and Bronze Keys, but remember that you can only obtain them randomly. Fairy Spirits are like spirit transformations that need Spirit Energy in order to increase their synchro rate percentage in order to get stronger. You can obtain Spirit Energy in our Item Mall: Spirit Stone (12 hrs, 48hrs and 96hrs). Remember that Fairy Spirits are one of two types: Range (Gun, Cane, Bow) and Melee (Sword, Axe, Spear). If you get their synchro rate to 100%, congratulations because you now have achieved these additional stats:


Range (Gun, Cane and Bow):
Basic Skills = 100% Synchro Rate (Total)
Strength: 15 = 22
Agility: 30 = 45
Wisdom: 30 = 45
Vitality: 15 = 22
Dexterity: 0 = 15
Defense: 80 = 120
Luck: 0 = 15
Weapon Effect (100% Sycnhro Rate):
Bow and Gun equipped: Attack Range increased.
Cane quipped: MP increased.
Melee:
Basic Skills = 100% Synchro Rate (Total)
Strength: 30 = 45
Agility: 30 = 45
Wisdom: 15 = 22
Vitality: 15 = 22
Dexterity: 0 = 15
Defense: 80 = 120
Luck: 0 = 15
Weapon Effect (100% Synchro Rate):
Sword and Spear equipped: Attack Speed increased.
Axe equipped: Attack power increased.

Ask the GMs:

It's that time again! Players were asked to submit questions to the GMs. The GMs have picked out their favorite questions and set aside some time out of their busy schedule to answer to the best of their abilities. So, without further adieu, here are the questions and answers for this month:

Q1: GM, is the manufactured avatar a bug? It cannot be dismantled.
ZedGM: No, it¡¯s not a bug ? the manufactured avatar can no longer be dismantled because it is a new system implemented in the game.

Q2: Does the Guardian spirit, Cantle, disappear?
ZedGM: No, the Cantle spirit does not die, unlike Tinky, who¡¯s acquired through quest. Cantle is a special, rare guardian. She does not die but you need to feed her to increase her affinity.

Q3: Is the Koinoriko fish a bug? I saw one, but I thought it¡¯s only available during the summer event?
ZedGM: No it¡¯s not a bug. Koinoriko, the fish that gives rare materials, can be acquired using Mysterious eggs but there¡¯s a low chance of getting it, so you need to use many.

-Player Profile: BrainzzDead

BrainzzDead, our current GoonZu (Zeus), is a very helpful and concerned player, as expected, and was voted as this season¡¯s GoonZu. Let¡¯s talk and get to know him more.

This is BrainzzDead¡¯s first time elected as GoonZu during his three plus years playing Luminary and serving players before as Minister Phoenix, Guardian Angel (4 times), Town Chief, Head of different buildings and a Guild Master. He sure has plenty of experience and knows a lot of players just like our other old players here. When he was asked about what made him ran as GoonZu, he answered: ¡°umm there were few reasons, mainly because I saw a lot of people leaving the game, and we were down to two GMs (Naisu and Zed) and I¡¯m very active, I¡¯d be available to help as much as possible.¡±

¡° What was the hardest part about being a GoonZu?¡± we asked BrainzzDead, to which he replied, ¡°Hmm..hardest part¡¦making everyone happy, I guess, haha!¡± Yes, that is hard BrainzzDead, just like Zed always said - it¡¯s hard to please everyone. BrainzzDead: ¡°Yea, hehe, but there are a lot of bugs and abuses, etc, that cause people to leave the game and it¡¯s hard when new players come to get them to stay¡±.

His favorite place to hunt is Lost World and when asked why, he responded, ¡°Probably Lost World ¡®cause of the experience. The only bad thing is the spawn rate (ok, noted ;p) and you can¡¯t party without getting your EXP capped. But when it¡¯s empty, it¡¯s great.¡± We also asked him about his favorite monster and why, to which he replied, ¡°Hmm don¡¯t really have a favorite to kill. I guess any boss for the drops, but I guess you can say my favorite to be is the werewolf for Halloween hahaha!¡± Oh right, Halloween is near =D
What would you like to accomplish in game? ¡° I¡¯ve actually already accomplished more than I ever thought I would, but there¡¯s only 2 things left I think, own a town, and become your co-worker lol.¡± ;p
His main tips for those who want to be GoonZu in the future are, ¡°Work hard; be honest, fair and unbiased. Some people aren¡¯t gonna like you no matter what you do¡¦ All you can do is keep on trying.¡±

Before we end this Player Profile of the month, we asked BrainzzDead if he had anything he wanted to say to all players. His closing words were, ¡°I wanna thank them all for supporting me, and the people are the main reason I¡¯ve played as long as I have, lotta good people on here =D¡±

Great job being GoonZu, BrainzzDead!
