Episode 1

Warrior and Pirate Boss here. Bowman, Thief and Magician Bosses are losers.

Yay. Do want.
Time to dig up the stats of the bosses.

WHAT IS THIS I DON'T EVEN??? Are 4th jobbers by any chance excluded?
Phew..

They just didn't show it. There is an Astaroth weapon for every single kind of weapon.

I really hate that Bowmen got the ugliest boss. Jesus Christ. I want Crocell! So cute! And what's with the level 30 cap? Will that prevent all of us from getting these items? Or is it something else?

As much as I dislike running around with the face of a disgruntled donkey with a mane, I'm going to agree that running around with the face of a buck-toothed black unicorn that has a donkey-esque expression is even lamer. Crocell's helmet is ADORABLE and it's gonna help nicely with the Dex of my Brawler.

The level 30 cap sounds obnoxious; and I can only hope that doesn't apply to this particularly quest chain that allows us to fight these bosses and get these amazing helmets. Fortunately, it was long revealed in the data that these particular quests don't have such a cap.

Also, I can't believe no one brought attention to the awesome eight slot shoes:

What's so great about 8 slot shoes?

...OH RAGE THAT MAGE SHOE JUST MADE MY YSS WORTHLESS.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

YSS were worthless when Item Maker came out when you can add 5 INT to any shoe easily.

Holy crap the Pirate shoes are SEXY. I'll probably still stick with the 110 boots though. I'll still get them for the looks.

Well that's cool. Totally predicted it though. Though, I still don't understand how this is episode 1. Was the rest just a prologue?

...what's up with the Warrior in a Pirate overall though?

Also, I can't believe no one brought attention to the awesome eight slot shoes:

Not to be a downer, but it would probably be a good idea to remove the images.

Nexon showed them theirselves so it's most likely okay.

But they has IDs. :>

EDIT: But to be on-topic, I'm actually really looking forward to this patch. I like it when exclusive stuff comes to Global first.

These are free....and have no stat requirement and can be worn really really really early.

How exactly do these bosses work?
Do they have private maps or are they like area bosses?
Can you fight them/acquire equips repeteadly (like in case you blow them up or something)?

The NPC portal thing would lead me to assume you can solo them and that they aren't free spawning.

Unless it brings you to a map where they free spawn. Which would suck ass.

Job Required: Warrior
Job Required: Fighter
Job Required: Page
Job Required: Spearman
Job Required: Crusader
Job Required: White Knight
Job Required: Dragon Knight
Job Required: Hero
Job Required: Paladin
Job Required: Dark Knight
The Npc Starting the Quest: Dances with Balrog
Requires Quest "Who Changed Him?" Completed
Quantity of Monster Needed to be Killed: 1
Mob : Andras
The Npc Ending the Quest: Chief Stan

Are we safe to assume free helms for everyone?

I'd like to point out that because it has a prerequisite quest, you need to check the entire quest chain for level limits. Most final quests don't even have a lower limit on them.

On the other hand I can possibly make 10 STR/10 DEX/Whatever Canopus Boots, and scroll it for around 10 STR/15 DEX/10 jump shoes. I don't deny how beginner friendly the equipment is of course, just that with Item Maker you can get better.

I wasn't talking about the pirate one. The pirate one obviously sucks compared to any makered boot.

Oh you were talking about ONLY the YSS. My bad.

Might be a dumb question, but can we start these quests on 1st jobbers we already have prior to this patch? (Under lv30, of course)

Yeah, the requirement for the first quest in the chain is the last Basic training your Job Instructor gave you long ago.
