Nexon Wrote:
Say goodbye to the Ninja Castle because its about to get a secret upgrade! On November 15, a group of stealthy ninjas will sneak in and demolish the old Ninja Castle to make way for the newest themed dungeon, Sakura Castle. Visit the original Ninja Castle today for a farewell party and grab some sweet loot!
When:
From 10 AM Pacific/1 PM Eastern November 7 (or after the maintenance is complete).
Until 11 PM Pacific November 13/2 AM Eastern Novemvber 14 (or when the maintenance begins).
What:
Drop rates will be doubled for all Ninja Castle quest items. Furthermore, there will be 10x drop on Jonin Throwing Stars!
How do I get there?
- 1. Talk to Spinel (located in most towns) to go to the Mushroom Shrine.

- 2. Find the Palanquin guys and go to the Ninja Castle.

This makes me sad. Sakura Castle is not preferable to Ninja Castle, and what about all the monster cards? =/
If Sakura Castle mobs drop their Ninja Castle counterpart's cards, Samurai will be insanely easy to get compared to now, though.

Sigh. This is super disappointing.

If they hadn't screwed up the boss tag him in the first place, it would be easy get anyway. I gave up on that card set ages ago because of that.

Lol'd.
What's the point of even having 10x drop on Jonin Stars? I don't even recall a quest ever needing them in KMS... if we're getting the same one as KMS.

Do we know if Ele Staves are still going to be drops in the new Sakura Castle?

Pretty disappointing to say the least. But hopefully the KMS version will at least have the monster card drops added, oh who am i kidding.

There is no quest for that. If you collect 100 of them an NPC will teleport you to the map after the JQ in exchange for them though.
And Nexon drives another nail into the coffin of exploring. Granted, the original castle is pretty damn bleak as far as areas go, not counting the JQ and Samurai + Castellan pre BB, where you could actually die if you messed up.

That's the one I was thinking of. My I/L has 2 stars...

New content replacing old content =/= new content.

No, Ninja Castle will be demoted to a level 70 dungeon. Ele Staffs will be removed as drops.

"akyrum may have been beaten, but the cracks in time are still appearing!
after a long night of rain, storms, and mystical warpholes, ninja castle was replaced with sakura castle, explore this new castle yadda yadda...
...but rejoice, for the old castle is not lost, a single dimensional crack remains on the entrance to sakura castle, which will take you to the old ninja castle!"
why couldn't they do that? ._.

How wonderful. I suppose shield attack scrolls will also stop dropping?
Will they remove the cards from the Codex, or will future chars have permanent holes where the monsters no longer exist?
