Fantasy Online 2 News

[p]Pets
With the release of pets comes the release of a new original zone to Fantasy Online 2, Whispering Wilds!

While in the Whispering Wilds you'll help pet trainers get back their stolen pet food, collect special drops for pet fanatics and most importantly, collect Pet Eggs to unlock pets and enhance your gameplay and builds!

That's not the only place you can get pets! Mobs around all zones will have pets added to them. A list on release day will be provided to help you on your hunt!

Normal, Mega and Uber Pets in Whispering Wilds
The 4 core pets that you can obtain in Whispering Wilds are the Wyvern, Owl, Urshound and Wolf! These 4 pets will be spawning in the wilds in all their forms! Spawning? Forms? That's right! You'll need to fight these pets as mobs to have a chance at their pet egg drop. The forms are the varying levels of these 4 specific pets. Normal pets are level 30, Mega pets are level 60 and Uber pets are level 90!

Normal vs Uber Pets from everywhere else
Unlike the 4 special pets in Whispering Wilds these pets have two variations, Normal or Uber. Normal pets are pretty self-explanatory but Uber pets are the better versions of these pets. They will have small increases to the bonuses they give you along with unique color palettes making them stand out from the normals!

[/p][p]Left Hook Rework and Rank 4
Strength needed a little bit of love in the skill department. Yes, I see you're all still using Vampiric Blade... Sooooo a rework to Left Hooks energy cost, damage values and cast time was needed. This skill will be doing more damage than Vampiric Blade without the healing aspect. Making it a better skill for Boss DPS and high HP mob grinding.

This is just an initial launch and soon I will port over the battlepasses, maps, and build-playground. Advanced filtering will also return in a new and improved way down the line.[/p][p]Thanks to G for making this possible and as always feel free to message me on Discord with any bugs, questions, or feature ideas.[/p][p]All the best,[/p][p]-Ak Δ[/p][p]Gamer's Patch Notes[/p]

Dark Marsh
The day is finally here! If you're reading this, Dark Marsh is here and ready for you to explore! New mobs, items, skills, crafts, bags (trunks), morphs, and more can be found in the marshlands.



Dark Marsh Bosses
Both will have a solo challenge this time round! Take on The Father or Mother Nature solo with proof of the completion via screen recordings or alerting a mod, Dark, Alyssa, Destaith or Dino of your attempt so they can witness the fight.



Wood Cutting and Mahogany Trunks
When trunks? NOW! Mahogany Trunks have been added to Dark Marsh! However, to obtain the best bags, trunk, in the game you'll need to learn a new ability. Wood Cutting! You can cut down Mahogany Saplings with a Saw. How do you get a Saw? Head over to the Loggers Camp and help him with his Centaur problem. Also, he may have some more tasks for you to get a Chainsaw?



Forest Keepers and Lumber Lords
Two new factions have come to Fantasy Online 2 with the addition of Dark Marsh. Each come with new factions outfits, medallions, banners and crests!

Want to increase your faction rank? Take on mobs like Frogs, Gnomes, Dryads and Werebears, to increase your Forest Keepers rank and Mahogany Saplings, Centaurs, Forces of Nature and Mother Nature to increase your Lumber Lords rank!



Metamorph Rank 2 and Rework
Rank 2 Metamorphs are here and some of you got a preview of those earlier today! Head to Dark Marsh and take on the Elemental Fairies. Each one will drop unique crystals needed to upgrade the Rank 1 Skill Books.

In the process of adding Rank 2 Metamorphs we took a good look at the sprites. The morph sprites we currently have in game were from the original with minor touch ups to match the style of FO2 better but still had something off about them. Thanks to Alyssa's hard work we now have updated versions to fit the feel of FO2!



Debuffs
Coming with Dark Marsh the elemental Fairies will have different debuffs based on their element. Also, Mother Nature and Forces of Nature will have Root so get ready to stand there while praying your dodge doesn't fail you.

- Fire will have Burn. While Burn is active you will take continuous damage even while out of combat.
- Earth will have Thin Skin. While Thin Skin is active your Armor will be reduced.
- Wind will have Off Target. While Off Target is active your Crit will be reduced.
- Ice will have Degen. While Degen is active your Energy will deplete even while outside of combat.

Debuffs will have a cast interval and a success percent.
Example: Cast Interval is 30 seconds. Success Percent is 50%.
If it's successful then the debuff duration timer will start. When finished the mob can cast again.
If the debuff is unsuccessful, the 30 second interval timer starts again.



Tier Set Bonuses
Tier set bonuses are here! Get rewarded for using multiple of the same tier set gear. This includes armor, weapon, books and rings. Think of set bonuses as having an additional Tier Book that just gets applied behind the scenes. Below is a table showing off the bonuses for all tier sets along with a sneak peek at T5 bonuses.



Gold Pickaxe Crafting
You will now be able to craft a Gold Pickaxe as you enter the Forgotten Underground. Now go collect some RF Gold Plates and Gold Crab Relics and get to mining!



Gemstones, Salt, Coral and Souls
We've heard the talks on gemstone drop rates for quite some months now and understand a buff should be made. Alongside gemstones, there’s been talk of other valuable resources like salt, coral, souls, and even pearls from clams.

-   Onyx, Sapphires, Amethysts, Rubies and Diamonds will be receiving a buff from 5% drop change to 10%.
-   Diamonds were the odd one out with a 7.5% drop rate but will also be made 10%  .
-   Pearls from Clams and Big Clams will also receive a buff. Clams will go from 2.5% to 5% and Big Clams 5% to 10%.  
-   Salt Veins will now have a 3% chance to drop a Salt Slab.  
-   Coral Veins will now have a 3% chance to drop a Coral Slab.  
-   Graves will now have a 1% chance to drop a Soul Gem.  
-   Tombstones will now have a 2% chance to drop a Soul Gem.  

Feedback on Discord
As always, I appreciate everyone's feedback and love for the game. I read all the messages in the main discord and the direct messages, even if I don't reply. That being said, please keep feedback constructive without going after people for their opinion.

P.S. - 15 years ago FO launched on Kongregate.

The Market has a new look and a lot of new features.


Much of the Market's GUI code has been completely rewritten.


A level column has been added which shows the level requirement of the item and allows you to sort by it. Tooltips now show exactly what these column headers do.


Item type and subtype combo boxes have been added to the Market's GUI. Item type and subtype filters have been added to the public Market search api as well. This allows for item type and subtype filtering just like in the Collector window.


Level min and max sliders allow you to filter by level. Click on the level column header and you can sort by level at the same time. This makes it much easier to find gear your level.


The sell tab contents also got a big facelift to match the buy tab.
