New Cabal Items and Weapons

To start out there were some particular situations when you are joining or rejoining a dungeon that needs a bit more explanation. The first one is where for example two people went to a dungeon, and then a third friend logs in and wants to join their dungeon run as well. Yes, it is completely possible for one of the two inside the dungeon to log out, then let the third person join the party before re-entering. The third person will now be able to join the first two inside, with no problems.

The other situation is where two people are inside a dungeon, and one logs out and does not return again for whatever reason. In this case as soon as the 5-minute rejoining time is over the remaining person will be kicked from the dungeon. This is the same as when everyone from a party leaves that party while a member is still inside a dungeon. If the party is completely disbanded whoever was left inside will be kicked out. Essentially it comes down to if you enter a dungeon as a party there is no way that you will be able to continue solo if everyone else leaves or quits. It is rather simple, actually.

New Weapons

Right, on the fun stuff. The new Lycanus weapons are unique to the Illusion Castle dungeon, as they will only drop from the boss chest there. They do not drop with every run, but they are not that terribly rare either from my own experience on the ITS. They are character-binding when you pick them up, but to compensate for this there is a link in the normal chat that appears whenever one of these do drop, so that everyone can see which attributes it has before deciding on who gets it.

Lycanus weapons come with 3 random craft options, with the possibility of being slotted as well. The craft options are randomly chosen from the following list:

* All Skill Amp up
* Critical Rate up
* Critical Damage up
* Add Damage increase
* All attack increase


This means they will be for both sword and magic classes at the same time, as should be obvious from the following image of some of the Lycanus we have found so far:



The exact amount of each craft can vary, as you can see from the Add Damage going from 5 to 15. These weapons also upgrade like Mithril, needing Highest Cores, and their stats increase in the same way, for example a +1 Blade will have 6 more attack than a +0 one. So with a bit of luck on the crafting options you could find yourself with a very decent weapon indeed.

True to form the developers are improving the appearance of newer gear, each time producing something even better looking than the last. The Lycanus weapons have to be some of my favourite items ingame up to date, especially the bow and shield.

New Belts

The belt slot finally has a use, and even though none of the current belts offer any game-breaking advantage they are good to have. Each belt comes in a version from +0 to +4, so five of each kind of belt, and they offer you the following:

Belt of Rapid: Increase the Dex stat (+1, +2, +3, +4, +5)
Belt of Guard: Increase your Defence (+2, +3, +4, +5, +6)
Belt of Vital: Increase your HP (+20, +30, +40, +50, +60)
Belt of Damp: All Skill Amp resist (1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%)
Belt of Prevent: Resist Critical Damage (2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, 6%)

I am sure the higher level Damp and Prevent belts will become quite popular.


New Ring

The one you have all been waiting for, and the one item that I have the least information on. EST have told us that the new ring is going to be account bound, from a quest that each character can do only once. I heard a rumour that it is going to be a duration item - that is not true at all, the ring will be permanent. However, gaining this item might not be that easy... Or to put it this way, do you really think you will be able to get the best ring in the game for a couple of clicks through a NPC quest dialogue and a quick 20 minute dungeon run?

Latest Cabal Dungeons

April 8 marks the target release of Cabal's latest patch, Illusion Castle, in the Philippine server. E-Games CGM Raven has announced it as the tentative schedule, provided that no problem occurs prior to its release.

Illusion Castle brings two new dungeons for avid players to explore and enjoy: Illusion Castle Underworld and Crazy Steamer. For those who are curious about these two new challenges, please, read on. If you prefer discovering the new dungeons for yourself then please close this blog before scrolling any further. I will of course try my best to make sure that there is some mystery left, but there will be screenshots, hints, random information, and the like in the next part. You have been warned.

Of course, if you haven't yet seen the official gameplay trailer for the update yet head over to YouTube right now to go and watch it.




Crazy Steamer

The new DX dungeon and the first real successor to the Panic Cave that we received with a previous update. Just like the Panic Cave, Steamer Crazy is also a solo, timed dungeon run with three possible difficulty levels, and dying means the dungeon ends. You cannot use an odd circle to resurrect yourself which does seem to be the direction that the developers want to take with the DX-style dungeons: Quick, hard dungeons that will force you to stay awake, and you cannot afford to make mistakes.





The entrance to the dungeon is set halfway through the wastelands of Fort Ruina, in the area with the old trains and railways. Once inside you are transported to the back of a moving train, and it looks really cool to see the railway flashing past while you fight on the narrow train itself. I say this with every new dungeon, but the developers and designers get better with every update, and they keep on trying new things, such as a dungeon set on a moving train in this case.





My own, albeit minor, complaint is that there are not that many new mobs around. The developers borrowed and improved some of the existing ‘metallic’ mobs from Fort Ruina and Pontus Ferrum, but given the location and nature of the dungeon they do not feel out of place. Progress through the train is not quite as linear as it first appears to be, which I also enjoyed, and what is great about Crazy Steamer is that it has two chests with treasure, not just one. I am sure many of you will agree with me on that point. The drops also improve with the harder dungeons, even though the easy version can drop some rather rare pieces of equipment. Before anyone asks, yes, you will still receive character binding, and bind-on-equip, weapons and armour.


Overall the dungeon feels slower than the Panic Cave, and excludes the wild rush that characterises the older DX. It also appears to be a bit easier, although that is always hard to judge on the test server, and overall I enjoy this one more than the Panic Cave. I am curious to see how it will be received on Monday, but I am prepared to say I think most people will enjoy it quite a lot. The only thing I wish they would add is a title for the DX dungeons as well, but perhaps we will see that with a future update.



That circle animation means trouble


A rather fiery encounter


Illusion Castle Underworld


This is the big one. The first and most obvious part of this dungeon is the freeview camera, which has only been used for the Forbidden Island dungeon before. Unlike the Forbidden Island however, Illusion Castle is located underground, in a vast maze of caverns and walkways. It is also rather longer than most of the current dungeons, with a dungeon time of two hours. Once again you can see the developers trying new things, and I think it really works in this dungeon.

The dungeon is meant to feel like a cavern, and in my opinion this feeling comes across really well. Stalactites and stalagmites appear everywhere, and occasionally you come across places where the ceiling of the cave has collapsed, allowing light to intrude from the outside. Other areas have you moving across narrow walkways, or past deep chasms with strange lights shining in the depths. I think I can back up my claims better with some pictures.







The Illusion part of Illusion Castle is there for some very good reasons, and everything in there is not what it appears to be at first glance. There are one or two sections in particular that will prove an interesting challenge to get past. I think that in some way the dungeon reminds me of a mix between the Tower of the Dead b2f, and the Forgotten Temple B1f, with of course the wonderful free camera from the Forbidden Island used as well.

There are also some hidden quests to discover, and extra bosses hiding in the deepest part of the cavern, if you can find them of course. You will also see a very interesting use of the new looting rules in action, and I am not referring to the possible Lycanus Weapons now.



The last screenshot with the feel of the dungeon


The dungeon ends with a very interesting promise, which makes for a fairly clear indication of what is to come in the future. With that in mind I leave you with this screenshot, showing something from the very last part of Illusion Castle.



Promises of things to come?


There is a title for completing this dungeon - you become a ‘Distorted Soul Saviour’ when finishing Illusion Castle. The second rank of the title gives 1% resistance to all skill amp, and the third gives 2% - small bonuses as with almost every dungeon title.

Illusion Castle Entices

ESTsoft, developer of the Philippines' leading MMORPG Cabal, has just released new updates regarding Illusion Castle, the latest addition to the top online game.


Updates posted February 10, 2010:

- changes to the item proprieties window

- changes to the effect of belts

- few changes to the Illusion Castle

ESTsoft continues to polish the upcoming Cabal Patch much to the delight of its avid gamers.



*note:- These weapons drop from "Illusion Castle" dungeon
- They have high requirements (lv 120) also need high stats but have stats of osm lv because they can drop with triple epic options

The complete developer's notes and patch notes are still nowhere to be found as of this moment.

PM Jay of Cabal PH has already posted a teaser of the patch in the local forum to build up the hype among Filipino players. They intend to release it this summer, just in time for the Pinoy kids' school vacation.

Something for gamers to look forward to burn the summer heat with!

Cabal Illusion Castle Gearing Up!

Cabal's upcoming patch, Illusion Castle, is bound for release in March 2010, just barely three months after Reloaded went live.

The highly anticipated patch continues to be beautified by the reliable game developers, ESTsoft, to cater to players' delight and continue to engage them in the world of Nevareth.

Here are more expected upcoming changes as translated from Cabal KR:

- changes to UI:

* the window size of the character status has been expanded

* The icon of the battle mode has been moved to the lower right side of the character (Not sure, need to see SS).

- change the way party shows:

* original: show's a star

* change: party people name's appear yellow

- Change to the buttons of premium, DP, New updates, etc:

* all buttons will be shown in the bottom left

* icons and buttons are display to a maximum of 5

- Some icons changed:

* Death Penalty icon changed in size

- Christmas Tree from Bloody Ice has been removed.

- Increase the unique skill amplification options of the "Leica Anubis" weapon

- Improve mouse movement in "Illusion Castle".

- Add "Leica" weapons with slot that drop from "Illusion Castle" dungeon

*these weapons with slot cannot be extended.

*note: It seems that non-slot weapons can be extended with SEH, while weapons with slot cannot be extended. This was (I think) to not make the weapons too Op'ed.

- Quest experience is increased:

* This applies to Battle Style lv up and the upgrade quest (not sure what quest is this)

- Drop rate of the quest items in the "Brothers are strong: Zombie Warrior" quest has been increased

- The quantity of killed mobs in some "Monster Quests" has been reduced.

- few changes to blessing bead plus

- changes to Force Blader BS lv up at lv 50

- the cabal menu button has been added to the right

- Changes to the list of fonts sorted alphabetically

- few changes in Mission War

- The confirmation box that we get when we want to sell something at the NPC will be removed. (I am not sure about this, I will see in the future if it is true)

- Changes to the color of the guild warehouse alz.

There is no official Patch Notes released yet but I will definitely post it here as soon as I get hold of it.

For now, get a load of the new DX Dungeon, Crazy Streamer.






...and the new weapon, Star Leica.
