Time to Morph! Last week we all got a little a taste of Morphs with the introduction of Purple Peril (Eggplant) but now it's time to set the table and serve up a full course! You can now go to all zone skill trainers and purchase a Morph themed to that zone. These Morphs can give you bonuses to Agility, Intellect, Stamina, Strength, Armor, Crit or Attack Power. And that's not all... Head to Crablantis to start crafting your Metamorph skill books to obtain the Wind, Ice, Ground or Fire Metamorphs! These give large stat bonuses to a specific stat based on the elemental type along with additional bonuses to the rest of your stats.
Patch Notes - Added 12 Morphs to 12 zone skill trainers - Added 4 Metamorphs to craft in CL - Added Blank Morph Book to CL shop - Increased damage done by Glacier Union Officer - Increased Ice Crystal drop rate from Ice Veins from 35% to 45%. * Added server # to login chat messages. * Removed the whisper button from the friends list as it just doesn't fit. I'll add another way to quick whisper possibly. * Restyled friends list a bit. * Added a BlueSky image proxy. * Added FO2's BlueSky feed to the Welcome Window. * Press the W key to toggle the Welcome Window.

Patch Notes #91 - T4

Tier 4 Armor Head to Ulf to start the upgrading process of your Tier 3 armor. He needs you to bring him your Frostite Shells, celestial gems and diamonds to make your Starforged Diamond Shells! To upgrade your face item and shoulder item will require a little more work including Ubers of multiple different types! Tier 4 Weapons With new armor comes new weapons! Collect your Shards of McFreezeGuy from the Glacier Union Officers and your Tier 3 weapons to bring them up to the next level! I hear the crafter is hanging around the Frozen North with some of his logging buddies. Tier 4 Books and Rings New armor, new weapons and now, new books and rings! The two crafters can be found near the weaponsmith!
McFreezeGuy and Glacier Union Officer Who are the Glacier Union Officers? They are a new boss type enemy that you will need to kill to retrieve a Shard of McFreezeGuy. These are the important upgrade material you'll use to level your Tier 3 Weapon to Tier 4. Along with that drop a new club has been added along with some Ice Crystal Chunk drops. McFreezeGuy has also had a little change made to his loot table. I subbed out the worthless Bags of Ice drops for a chance at getting an Ice Crystal.
Diamond Crafting and Mining Diamonds are now dropping from Ice Veins and along with that a new crafter has rolled into the Frozen North. The crafter will allow you to upgrade your basic Diamonds to Megas and Ubers.
New Stamina and Strength Skills Reckless Strike for Stamina players and Vampiric Blade for Strength players. Reckless Strike is meant to turn the large health bars of Stamina players into more of a resource! As you deal out a strike you are also hit with a small amount of damage. Vampiric Blade is designed to help heal Strength players while also doing damage!
Patch Notes - Lost Diary and Calvin's Book drop rate changed to 10% from 1% and balanced gold rates - McFreezeGuy now drops Ice Crystals instead of Bags of Ice - Added Glacier Union Officer with drop needed for T4 Weapon and Ice Club - Added Diamond drops to Ice Veins - Changed Ancient Magician Ring name to Ancient Mage Ring - Changed Ancient Warrior Ring name to Ancient Knight Ring - Added T4 Armor, Weapons, Rings and Books crafting - Added Diamond crafting - Added Starforged Diamond Shell Crafting - Added Crab and Stone morphs for testing - Added Reckless Strike and Vampiric Blade 1, 2 and 3 to Skill Trainers!

New Gemster Items Check out the Gemster to get your hands on the Infini Box, Le Chat The Hat and Blobfish!
Level Requirement Rebalance We've heard lots of talk about how a lot of the weapons and some items are being kept too harshly behind a level requirement. This leads to these items being worthless, never used and just thrown into the Collector. To help combat this and make these weapons worth running we've rebalanced their level requirements. Cave of Despair Cutlass of Chaos - 40 -> 36 Forgotten Wasteland Ankh Shield - 40 -> 38 Oasis Blade - 42 -> 38 Scorpion Sting - 40 -> 38 Gem of the Desert - 45 -> 40 Cobra Staff - 45 -> 40 Forgotten Underground Dark Rapier - 45 -> 40 Crystal Sword - 45 -> 40 Forgotten Under Underground Space Wand - 46 -> 44 Ice Staff - 48 -> 46 Gladion Sword - 48 -> 46 Demon Bow - 50 -> 46 Zambatou - 50 -> 46 Dark Alien Shield - 48 -> 46 Mirky Woods Elven Bow - 53 -> 50 Blunt Club - 52 -> 50 Elven Staff - 42 -> 50 Goblin Tooth Necklace - 56 -> 52 Onion Sprig - 54 -> 51 Mossy Stone Boots - 51 -> 48 Mossy Axe - 55 -> 53 Mossy Sword - 54 -> 53 Forest Shield - 56 -> 54 Bearserker Set - 54-60 -> 52-58 Axe of the Bearserker - 60 -> 58 Frozen North Fishing Spear - 58 -> 56 Curved Hand Axe - 60 -> 57 Ice Axe - 65 -> 60 Ice Hammer - 62 -> 60 Harpoon - 65 -> 60 Aquilion Blade - 65 -> 62 Wrench - 62 -> 60 Crablantis Barbed Spear - 66 -> 64 Crooked Axe - 66 -> 64 Kelp Blade - 66 -> 64 Coral Wand - 66 -> 64 Underwater Staff - 68 -> 66 Dutchman's Hook - 70 -> 68 Star Face - 70 -> 68 Patch Notes - Renamed Molten Pauldrons to Gooey Magma Pauldrons to match the other items in the set - Level requirements for 42 Weapons and Items - Removed Ronin Box, Candlehead and The Crown Gem from Gemster - Added Infini Box, Le Chat The Hat and Blobfish to Gemster - Reduced the HP values of mobs in Frozen North and Crablantis

Patch Notes #88 - Love and Luck

Winter Will Come Again!

Holiday Isle and the 2024 Christmas Event are gone! To anyone that bought a key, don't worry, you'll be able to go to HI again next year without having to purchase another one!

Love and Luck Battle Pass

Battle passes that follow the seasons of Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter are great but unfortunately, we've run out of seasons! Introducing the "Love and Luck" Battle Pass! Enjoy some Valentine's Day and St. Patrick Day themed cosmetics along with overhauled rewards now including Amethysts, Ice Plates and new Faction consumables to level up your Glacier Union rank!

Level Requirements to enter zones have been introduced!

16 - Cave of Some Return 18 - Swamp Grotto 30 - Cave of Despair 36 - Forgotten Wasteland 40 - Forgotten Underground/Under Underground 48 - Mirky Woods 62 - Crablantis

Skill Balancing

- Self Motivated 5 level requirement has changed from 60 to 56. - Self Motivated 5 intellect requirement has changed from 300 to 280. Self Motivated 5 requirements to use were too high for players entering MW and wanted players to be able to enjoy it while exploring the new zone. - That's the Stuff 4 level requirement changed from 60 to 62. - That's the Stuff 4 now gives -4% crit. - That's the Stuff 4 buff timer has been changed from 10 minutes to 8 minutes. That's the Stuff 4 gives an average of 125 HP per second. In comparison to TTS3 which only gave 20 HP per second. This is a super high jump and needs to be balanced. Instead of the traditional nerf to the HP values we're going to try adding negative 4% crit. This way the skill still does what it's supposed to do but at a small cost.

Reminder!

Check out the Top 500 Player Leaderboard in Mirabella Cove and the new Boss Kill Achievements!

Patch Notes

- All MW mobs, not bosses, have had their HP nerfed. - Gold rates have been updated to match the HP changes. - Reduced the amount of Alien and Cyborg Crabs kills in FU Quests. - New SSC's have been delivered.

Head to Forgotten Under Underground and find Sigurd and the Emerald Crafter. They'll help you craft those emeralds into high tier emeralds and Starforged gear.
TIER 3 ARMOR Tier 3 armor has also made its way to the Forgotten Under Underground. Get those tier 2 sets ready for an upgrade and harness the power of the ancients. Wait, are those shoulder items?! Yes, they are! You can find the new Ancient Shoulder Blueprint being sold by the shopkeep in FUU.
TIER 3 WEAPONS What is a cool new armor set without a new weapon to destroy things with? To craft these beauties you'll need to head to Mirky Woods. The weaponsmith will be hanging around the elf camp ready to upgrade those tier weapons to their next level!
CELESTIAL GEM CRAFTING You may have noticed that your Tier 3 armor has a new edition! Tier 3 comes with brand new tier shoulder items. However, they require mega and uber celestials?!? Not to worry, head to Mirky Woods and make your way to the Badger camp to find a wise old Badger. He has the knowhow to merge the unknown power of your celestial gems into higher rarities.
TIER 2 BOOKS AND RINGS If the armor, weapons and gem crafting wasn't enough then I have one more trick up my sleeve. Tier 2 Books and Rings has also come to Forgotten Under Underground. These crafters are a little farther down into the cave but will be ready to upgrade those Tier 1 Books and Rings into something stronger and hopefully take your build to the next level!
EVENT REMINDERS Holiday Isle and the Christmas 2024 Event leave January 29th! Your Holiday Isle Teleport skill will just teleport you to Mirabella Cove until the event returns. You will not need to buy the Key for Gems again! MORE?!?! Of course there's mo... wait.. that's actually it! I got a little carried away with this update but of course wouldn't have been able to do it without some help. Shout out to Moriarty for his hard work remaking some classics with the tier armor and Dark for his help keeping me on track lol. In the next big patch coming from me we'll open the gates to Frozen North and the ability to REBIRTH! See you all next time. -Dino Patch Notes - Tier 3 Armor and NPCs added - Tier 3 Weapons and NPCs added - Tier 2 Books and NPC added - Tier 2 Rings and NPC added - Emerald Crafting and NPC added - Starforged Emerald gear and NPC added - Celestial Gem crafting and NPC added - Renamed Stamina armor set to follow Bastion naming convention - Renamed Dark Knight armor set to Crimson Knight - Rebirth NPC added - Fixed SSC names missing [SSC] * Upgraded to SmartFoxServer 2X v2.20.1 https://www.smartfoxserver.com/download/releaseNotes/SFS2X_2.19.txt This is the part that helps us: [NEW] Updated Tomcat http server with release 9.0.87, with several bug and security fixes, and performance improvements. https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-9.0-doc/changelog.html * Cleaned up some of the shop code. * In the shop when you click the buy button, the space in your inventory is now preset with the item.

Few Visual Effects & No Sound Effects

While we currently have beautiful visuals and amazing music, we don't have many visual effects yet. In 2025 we plan to enhance combat, menus, and other actions with extra pixely visual effects that will have sound effects attached to them. Until then, enjoy the authentic Fantasy Online experience as the original had no sound effects and very few visual effects as well! Check out the trailer to see what the game is like! [previewyoutube=-j8Hn4dVNnk;full][/previewyoutube] Hope to see you all on Noob Island on release day!

What's included with Early Access?

Hello! Soon, Fantasy Online 2 will be releasing into Early Access on Steam. I thought I might as well put together all list of everything available day 1, so here we go! 14 Zones are in the game at this point. One is an admin zone, and two are seasonal so, you'll have access to 11 zones at launch. Zones include many many different things, here's a short rundown.
A wide variety of mobs.
Hundreds of quests.
Hundreds of shops.
Lots of skills.
Character customization, a bestiary, vanity outfits, and factions with notoriety.
The Collector stores one of most items.
Lots of achievements.
Guilds with guild chat and guild items.
Hundreds of items to craft.
Player Market where you can buy and sell between players. Steam Inventory integration so you can transfer items to and from the game. Steam Community Market is enabled for most items. All Steam characters start with 100 Gems which is our virtual currency. Gems can be used to purchase vanity outfit items, more bank space, and a few other things. There is more of course, but this just gives a nice overview of the main meat of the game! I will be cross posting Patreon public posts here as well once we launch into EA. https://www.patreon.com/c/FantasyOnline2 (Holiday Isle just launched!)
Hope to see you soon in Mirabella Cove! Have Fun & Keep Gaming!
