Fantasy Online 2 News

The vegetables of FO2 have had enough of getting cut, chopped, diced and sliced! They are coming for their revenge! You'll find them surrounding the town of Mirabella Cove. Head into the town to speak with the Farmers leading the defense against the veggies. You'll be rewarded with new cosmetics and the first Morph available in-game!

Tier 4 Armor
Head to Ulf to start the upgrading process of your Tier 3 armor. He needs you to bring him your Frostite Shells, celestial gems and diamonds to make your Starforged Diamond Shells! To upgrade your face item and shoulder item will require a little more work including Ubers of multiple different types!

Tier 4 Weapons
With new armor comes new weapons! Collect your Shards of McFreezeGuy from the Glacier Union Officers and your Tier 3 weapons to bring them up to the next level! I hear the crafter is hanging around the Frozen North with some of his logging buddies.

Tier 4 Books and Rings
New armor, new weapons and now, new books and rings! The two crafters can be found near the weaponsmith!  



McFreezeGuy and Glacier Union Officer
Who are the Glacier Union Officers? They are a new boss type enemy that you will need to kill to retrieve a Shard of McFreezeGuy. These are the important upgrade material you'll use to level your Tier 3 Weapon to Tier 4. Along with that drop a new club has been added along with some Ice Crystal Chunk drops.
McFreezeGuy has also had a little change made to his loot table. I subbed out the worthless Bags of Ice drops for a chance at getting an Ice Crystal.



Diamond Crafting and Mining
Diamonds are now dropping from Ice Veins and along with that a new crafter has rolled into the Frozen North. The crafter will allow you to upgrade your basic Diamonds to Megas and Ubers.



New Stamina and Strength Skills
Reckless Strike for Stamina players and Vampiric Blade for Strength players. Reckless Strike is meant to turn the large health bars of Stamina players into more of a resource! As you deal out a strike you are also hit with a small amount of damage. Vampiric Blade is designed to help heal Strength players while also doing damage!
