With less than 24 hours to go before Granado Espada is open again, let's take a look at the new things we can expect. Also, do remember that all new features won't be released just yet. They announced that they'll be releasing features after features probably month after month. There's a tentative schedule from Ms. Hrin's blog as I'll be quoting her on this one.
RNPCs Angie and Karjalainen will be out tomorrow as well. Other RNPCs are planned to be released monthly. Lil' Viki and Feng Ling (Soso) is scheduled to be released next month, Jan 2008 while Edward Jameson & Kurt will probably be out in Feb 2008 and lastly, Gavin Jameson in March 2008. This is the tentative schedule and subject to change since this industry is so dynamic and changes might happen at anytime so please don't swear by my schedule.- Ms. Hrin

New random stuff from Karja's Vanity Box will sure get people wanting to buy this item. You can get any random costume from it, I'm not really into random boxes but I see this as something that you can sell for vis. The promotion scroll is another giveaway. Will we be getting Expert levels when it hits December 20? Lol. More reasons to grind, more reasons to stay up late at night. >_< 
December 20's batch of new costumes got various outfits for rNPCs like Lisa (gotta check her's out!), Claude, Alejandro, and Catherine. Also, a very hot looking female fighter costume is next up. Brace yourself for this new fashion revolution! (Finally Claude gets a much needed outfit makeover).
Ancient Territory Pass thrown in the package is perhaps the only reason why you should consider getting it. I'm not yet sure what the Ancient Territory Pass is but maybe it is some sort of a much better version of the Forgotten Pass.
A number of new Temporary Items availabe this December 1 and they are all back costumes. I'm not really fond of temporary stuff. I'd rather use the 1,100 GPoints on a Barrack Slot of Enhancement Booster. 7 days isn't much for me, though some are really promising as they give much needed bonuses like blocks, evasion and MAX HP. The Ancient Territory Pass here seem to be the only thing that I see myself spending on.
Expect to see a lot of +7 or even +8 items after it hits December 20. With the arival of the Intensifying Tranquilizer, It assures you that you get your most treasured equipment from +4 to +7 safely! I'm sure a great number of people will love this new addition to the Premium Item Shop.Check out the new features of the game (Bahia Island) by click on the Image Below!
Check out the new area of Bahai Island which is the Island of Fire. Test out your stength in the island which is a home to strong and fearsome monsters. There's also a new raid boss for everyone ^_^

Step aside Catherine of the Torsche Manor and give way to the hottest kid on the block - Viki! He's a force to be reckoned with yet he's still a kid. Think of this small guy as a Scout and Catherine the Summoneer Fusion. Better get yourself ready with this kid's long and tiring quest and already prepare one barrack slot for him and his giant summons as he'll be sure to make you regret if you don't get him.Congratulations to the factions who got their share of colonies.
