Announcements

The 2008 world opens for everyone today, Saturday 3 October, at 19:00 server time. Everyone starts from zero: test-period accounts, characters, guilds and castles have been cleared, and registration opens at 19:00. For the first week every new player gets 5 Field Manuals 300% and 15 Gold from the Welcomer in the training grounds (one gift per player), and a lucky few also find rare butterfly wings or the Vote for AvalonRO hat. Details: the opening post.

Yes, you still can't escape Pokemon. The Pokemon Club of Avalon is back the way it worked in 2008-2010: use a Pokeball and a creature fights at your side for 60 seconds. Pokeball Lv 1-3 are crafted in Ayothaya - start with Mc Arthur in Prontera (112,245), then Griroki at the docks, the Captain of the guard and the fisherman Korris, who trades balls for Maneater Blossoms, Stems, Shoots, Trunks and Maneater Roots. Novice, Advanced and Master Pokeballs (two Bloody Murderers / two Bloody Knights / two Tamruans and an Acidus, with 25/50/100% HP-SP restore) come in packs in the donation shop at the 2008 price list: 25 Novice for 2 USD, 15 Advanced for 2 USD, 10 Master for 3 USD. As in 2010, the three strong balls cannot be used on PvP maps. Details: the Pokeball guide.

Homunculi are back to the Avalon of 2010: the experience table with 200 levels is restored (the old one stopped at 99, so every homunculus got stuck there), and monsters aggro the homunculus again, so Amistr tanks and Filir pulls attention for its master. Server-side, already live; nothing to download. Details: update notes.

Skills during attacks are instant again, you face the target when you hit it, Devotion works within 40 levels, autospell cards stack, and 51 MvPs got back their 2010 HP and defense; their damage is capped at about 1.6 times the official value, agility and accuracy are official and attack speed is unchanged. Valkyrie and Dark Valkyrie Helmet, Golden Dragon Helmet and the Vanberk Card are back to their original Avalon stats (patch 95 updates the descriptions); Eske is disabled as on the hosting years. Patch 94 fixes missing textures on disguise_ev, mobarena and the pdbroom maps.
