v.104 Legends Update Notes Mercedes

<div class="hr"/> New Content

<div class="hr"/> New Class: Mercedes

Mercedes is the ruler of the elves, who have been asleep for hundreds of years. Along with Aran and Freud, she is one of the five heroes who sealed the Black Mage. Much like Aran, Mercedes and her people were cursed by the Black Mage before he was sealed, causing the elves to fall into a long sleep. Before succumbing to the curse, Mercedes sealed the elves' home of Elluel so that no one could enter while the curse still held sway.

During Mercedes' tutorial, you see a fully animated video of her, Freud, and Afrien attacking the Black Mage's stronghold, then you play through the ensuing events in the past. Upon awakening in the present, Mercedes find that she has weakened considerably and that the other elves are still sealed.

• Mercedes can only be created by selecting the Mercedes option when creating a new character.
  
• At creation, you can change Mercedes' gender and face.
  
• Mercedes is Lv.10 with her 1st job already obtained by the time the required portion of her tutorial is complete.
  
• Her 2nd job advancement can be made at Lv.30 through a quest.
  
• After making the 2nd job advancement, she automatically makes job advancements at Lv.70 and Lv.120.
  
• She gains 65 SP for her 1st job skills, so they all can be raised to their max level.
  
• Mercedes can equip Bowman type equipment, and she uses a new type of weapon called dual bowguns.
  
• She must have a dual bowgun equipped in order to perform most of her skills.
  
• Dual bowguns use magic arrows as their ammunition. These magic arrows are not consumed when used. Lv.10, 30, 70, and 120 magic arrows can be purchased in Elluel.
  
• Her primary stat is dexterity (DEX), and her secondary stat is strength (STR).
  
• Dual bowguns that are of a higher level than the beginning one are only available at the merchant found in Elluel (up to Lv.25). They can also be obtained through smithing, monster drops, and from certain events.
  
• Each Mercedes character has its own individual Cash Inventory not shared with other characters.

Liteness Wrote:no its only +50 charm exp not lvl

Elven Emily Wrote:pineapple you Nexon. I wanted my automatic pocket slot.

ChosenFruit Wrote:Wait wait wait wuh? Did they just say that Freud and Afrien are in that animated video o.e

Darn you nexon! Art Thou Blind! =[

EDIT: Also lawl, I have to delete one of my characters to make my Mercedes and THEN I'll have a free character slot for something else.
That's inconvenient lol

Also they should raise the maximum character slots already =[ 15 isn't enough for one of everything anymore.
