STAFF

STAFF ADDITIONS

1. Due to the high amount of claims, we are now requesting for members to apply as in-training mods! Your task will be focused on reducing this backlog. Please fill out the following form and PM it to Gaia, the main admin account.

Cbox name:

Related experiences: (staff on another site, officer in an MMORPG, etc)

Why do you want to join LH staff and how often would you be able to help?:

Do you have any other skills you would be willing to help with?:

Extras: (Anything else we didn't list.)


Optionally, answer some of the following situations as well:

- If there is a conflict between members on the chatbox and you are the only mod available at the time, describe what you would do and how you would settle the dispute.
- Someone has a suggestion regarding something on the system that the mods personally don't like very much yet the members greatly support of. Do you try to incorporate their suggestion or would you have to draw the line somewhere?
- What do you think the purpose of a mod on an RP site should be?
- List what you think to be your main strengths and weaknesses as a person.



RP

CLASSES

1. A few more Tier II skills have been revealed, such as Swashbuckler's.
2. Subclass skills will be added as people reach the threshold rank. If you passed the level and currently have a placeholder skill, contact a mod to add the new skill if available.
3. Druid's Willow Spirit effect has been changed to resemble the move used in the most recent anime episode. Its original effect is now a new skill, Arbor Phalanx.
4. Blind Bet and Straights added to the Swashbuckler Tier I skill list.
5. Astral Torment added to the Enchanter Tier I skill list.
6. Feedback Resonance and Scarlet Symphony added to Bard's Tier I skills.

DUNGEONS

1. Windsor Castle Dungeon is now available to parties of 4-5 players between Level 10-20. Sign up in Windsor Castle Foyer to begin. Any players above Level 20 will be scaled down to 20 for the duration of the instance.
2. Arm yourselves adequently and challenge the dungeon for a chance at getting Level 11-20 materials and possibly the various regalia of ages past!

GUILDS

1. Guilds are available to be created as long as the guild leader is Level 15 or high and there are at least 3 members. Start your guild today!

SHOP

1. Have second thoughts about the skills you took for your class? Main class skill changes are now available for 100 gold each under the Upgrades section of the Shop tab.

Speed Crafting is now available as a crafting method.

After a crafter has made a craft for any particular recipe, they are able to craft additional items of the same type without having to make an RP thread. Crafting without RP threads naturally do not get benefits such as AP or gold, but gain in convenience. In such a case, the crafter would specify whether they are performing a regular craft with an RP thread linked or a speed craft.



In order for a speed craft to be approved, the crafter must link proof that they had crafted an item for that recipe sometime in the past.



Additionally, Mana Fragments will become purchaseable in the NPC shop for 25 gold, as they are the only crafted item that is crafted by post count and not with materials.

Please also take note of the slightly changed template for posting crafting claims.

Additional updates:

Blue and Kuroya are now accepted as Training Mods to help out with the claim backlog. Thank you for your submissions, and we'll let you know if we might still need more help. Kuroya, please create a training mod account and then contact a mod so we can start you up.

Being part of a guild now gives you bonuses! If you are participating in a thread along with at least 2 other guild members, you will all receive a +20% bonus to that thread's AP. Note that this essentially means that your word count for that thread will be treated as though it is 120% - other rules regarding AP claims will still apply. (Example: You wrote 1000 words total in a thread and claim it. Your 1000 words becomes 1200 words. You'll still only get 4 AP if you submit that thread alone though.) This sort of RP thread is also known as a [Guild Training] thread. You may only post in one Guild Training thread at a time. If you wish to join another, you must either end or leave your current one.

Other details about guild bonuses and housing will be revealed as they are discussed.
