Terror on the High Seas!

http://maplestory.nexon.net/News/Events....ageIndex=1

Dread tidings from the Sea of Fog. Rumors swirl around. Unbelievable tales of a ship with rotten planks and tattered sails that swoop down on unwary vessels and plunder them. And the crew of this dread ship? Could it be that the dead have escaped from Davy Jones’ Locker and are even now terrorizing the water of Maple World?



The call goes out for brave adventurers to find this strange apparition, battle its undead crew and destroy the ghost ship’s mysterious skipper to make the sea lanes safe once again. Do you have what it takes to battle against this watery terror?



To enlist in the battle against the ghost ship:

- Ghost ship is a “race”-style Party Quest. In order to participate, your character must be levels 60-80.

- Qualified characters will receive an auto start quest from Captain Hwang when you log in.

- To begin, take the Dolphin Tax to the Sea of Fog.

- Assemble a group of three and talk to Norrington for permission to enter the ship.

- When an opposing team is assembled, you will have to race through the ship’s five rooms to the captain’s cabin. When the captain is defeated, the team with the most monster kills will receive bonus EXP in addition to the normal EXP granted during the course of the quest.

- In addition to EXP awards, persistent players will receive equipment for winning the Public Quest 30 and 50 times.

Anyone knows what equips they're talking about? And... is this good EXP? D:

EDIT: PQ prizes (lol, I didn't know anything about this PQ, sorry :x)

Level 60 Weapon Defense: 20
Magic Defense: 20
No. of upgrades available: 6

Level 70 Weapon Defense: 20
Magic Defense: 20
HP: +20
MP: +20
No. of upgrades available: 7

Level 70 one might be a good one for pot for 3 lines

Meh. Finally I guess.

Pretty long overdue, but ok.

Oh gee look at that>.>

It's just capes nothing fancy.

Hm. Maybe I could drag my Aran or Evan in there. Most likely my Aran.

Fun, fun?

So their is going to be a patch when now? o.o

Also swordstalker good job on holding your ground against the majority

And so this pq FINALLY got released.

I'm glad I called this correctly. It's been long overdue, but the ghosts fit with the Halloween theme at least. I'll have to try the pq out and get a cape!

If anything next week. This could open tomorrow it would still require a patch but not an update.

The difference being?

i think he means going up a version? *shrug*

The difference being?

The past few server checks we've had to download patch files even though it didn't update the entire game client. I'm sayiing after the server check if this is indeed in there then a few patch files will have to be downloaded but it won't be changed from V.90 like an update would do. Hope that makes sense >.>

60-80 huh........ that leaves most of us out! Back to COD UO

The patcher ran to get the new EXE file to fix client sided stuff. This can be done without changing the version. However, with Nexon patching the WZ files that means a version change regardless of how small it is. Modern repackers can repack to any version, but Nexon doesn't work like this.

@rayhovite - BB allows users to do any party quest from the minimum level of the PQ to the maximum level of the game (200)

Right. But from your extractions the PQ data is already in there so wouldn't the patcher run for the client side stuff?Like just opening the portal to it?

That's true, but weren't competitive party quests (CPQ1 and 2, as well as Ghost Ship) unchanged for max levels? :|

They'll both have the same potential, as they're both 2nd tier items. :v

I'm unsure of the data's completeness, but also take into account that changing a portal in the game for 90%+ of cases also requires a WZ patch.

Oh okay. Thanks for clarification!
