A Deadly Shaman Elder Shift
Posted
by: Vini
-- 11:14 PM EST
|
A tragedy in the Valley of Mudang, Elder Reikai sacrificed herself to free shamans from an evil creature called Todd who had taken control of her and sought to ultimately ascend as Elder of the Shaman path. In the end, MistPrince was the one ascended as Elder of Shamans.
Todd had appeared in the lands days ago in the form of a fox-like creature, claiming to have discovered an ancient relic linked to the Yomigae, Reikai's family. The relic was in the form of a necklace that he gave to her. Shortly after, without much training he was ascended as a shaman and was quickly given all sorts of access and brands within the path. The other shamans were very concerned with it and it got worse when Reikai announced on Chronicles of the Winds that she would be hosting an ascension of an elder and would promote the mysterious Todd as her successor.
Concerned with the well-being and true senses of Reikai, many shamans protested against her decision, publicly and privately. It did not work, her mind was set about Todd. Most shamans chose to not corroborate with that and refused to help in the ascension ritual. Reikai decided to do the ascension ceremony on her own. Only two shaman participated in the ascension ritual, MistPrince and Sholah, but spent most of their time trying to convince Reikai to re-think her decisions.
Irritated with their attempts to interfere, Todd ordered Reikai to sacrifice MistPrince and she was ready to do so. As the sacrifice was about to be made, Monk Davie, summoned a deity bound to herself, Ragaraja. She utilized his power to weaken the link between Todd and the necklace. In one final ditch effort, Davie raised her bow and fired an arrow into the locket, shattering it and releasing the control of Todd over Reikai. As Todd scrambled to gather the pieces of the shattered necklace, Sholah swooped in to prevent any further progress.
Upon seeing MistPrince hurt and the controlling necklace being shattered, Reikai finally got back to her senses and tried to stop Todd, but it appeared it was too late.
"There's no going back now, you have already bound your soul to mine. You cannot escape my power", said Todd. He realized that he could not be harmed unless Reikai wished to experience the same fate.
He then morphed into his true form, a huge arachnid beast, a product of chaos. People tried to help stop the beast from consuming the soul of the shamans, but was in vain. It was immune to any magical spell or arrows shot at it. As a barrier was raised by them before the ceremony commenced no one was able to approach them. Realization falling over Reikai, she prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice herself. To spare her family from suffering to that beast, she quickly embraced Todd, and with one fell swoop, she impaled herself with her sacred YongSang scythe, causing her demise along with Todd's.
With Todd slain, Reikai's soul, which was bonded to his, was released from her body and her silver thread broken. Before dying her last words were "MistPrince, take care of our family". Her death surprised many people, Muse Candy who was watching the ritual became catatonic for few minutes shocked with what she had just seen. Soon realization swept over what Reikai's actual sacrifice meant. She had trapped herself in the depths of Naraka, keeping Todd there for eternal suffering.
After the heartbreaking death of their elder they understood that her last wish before sacrificing herself was to see MistPrince continuing her legacy and therefore appointed him as their new elder.
Nexus Atlas congratulates Elder MistPrince on his new position and wishes him good luck on his new duties. Although his ascension was mostly deserved, it came with a bitter feeling of sorrow. "The Shaman path remembers Reikai as a strong leader, sister, and friend. She will be forever missed within the hearts of the entire path", said MistPrince. Hopefully the shamans will find in his leadership comfort and guidance to overcome these difficult times of loss.

Mini-map Update and Fragile Orbs
Posted
by: Loxie
-- 10:13 AM EST
|
The reset today brought two big changes. With the V726.0 patch the minimap has been updated to show portal information. When you pull up the map and hover over a purple dot it shows you what map each portal leads to and what NPCs are present in the map. This was requested by multiple people on the Rambling Thoughts and Dream boards. Thanks for listening, KRU!
Two new orbs called the Fragile Orb of Inspire and Fragile Orb of Suppress were added. The Fragile Orb of Inspire is for poets level 60 and higher. For 1,000 gold and 6 ambers mana is preserved. This spell has 10 second aethers.
The Fragile Orb of Suppress is for mages level 70 and higher. It costs 1,000 gold and 7 ambers.
Also released was a quest for Do, Ranger, Shaman, and NPCs.
Rangers obtained a new quiver "mantle" for ones who have archery winter level or higher. Seems to not be working properly yet.
Shamans obtained their very own coats: ritual robe and ritual gown.
  
images added by Vini
Remember the NPCs muttering about Wony not paying them enough? You can find Mogum outside Walsuk's Tavern and donate to feed them.
There is no mark for donating and it is unknown whether or not there is any purpose to do so other than a world shout and your name as being the top donator.
Update: Wony has said the top three donators will receive a mark.
Here is a copy of the reset notes on DreamWeaver's board:
BOARD TITLE: Dream Weaver
FROM: mir DATE: 7/22
SUBJECT: Server & Client Patch - July 22th, 2016

New bannings set Viper clan on lockdown
Posted
by: Vini
-- 7:33 AM EST
|
It seems another round of banning was done this friday morning and has indirectly caused the Viper clan to have a lockdown. This is because one of the three people listed by Head GM Wony as banned as today was the Viper Primogen, Luminary Lexus, one of Nexus top poets.
The other two banned were Emissary Obduracy, former Primogen of The Forsaken clan and former Top Rogue, and Guardian Voss who was also very high on Top Poets list, around 30th.
Check below the copy of Wony's post on Scum board:
BOARD TITLE: Scum
FROM: Wony DATE: 7/22
SUBJECT: Lexus, Obduracy, Voss
and all their alts permanently banned for cheating AND/OR character sharing. |
It seems that from the Top 250 Poets of 6 months ago, the Top 3 have been banned and Top Rogue have been banned so far. From the beginning of the year Top Power list overall path, excluding Taiisrhaa who is event character, Nexus has seen the banning of #1, #4, #6, #7 and #12 in power back then. Keep in mind that there is a good number of people, amount the top who are legit hunters. Their positions will slowly be adjusted to the fair ones as the rounds of banning continue on higher levels of players down to the lower ones too.
 
Also it's important to give attention to another ban which occurred couple weeks ago and went unreported by news amidst the anniversary news, mostly because Wony wrote a short but important message to all regarding such bans in that post. Here's a copy of it:
BOARD TITLE: Scum
FROM: Wony DATE: 7/3
SUBJECT: Aritzu
Banned, for char share/sold.
This is too obvious, but I have to state again. Please do not buy, or take over the chars that do not belong to you. It could jeopardize all your characters, and accounts. And of course, don't let anyone use your character.
I hate to be the mean guy, but I need to be extra harsh toward botting, duping, other hackings and char selling and sharing, in order to keep the community and the economy healthy, clean, and growing. We've all witnessed how damaging a few cheaters can be to the community we love all so much. That will not happen again. |
Keep in mind that when reporting people through ticket support it's important to have the subject clear and the content with as most detailed information as you can possibly give, including screenshot(s) as evidence to your claims too. This helps KRU team find proof of what you're reporting.
Two important things to keep in mind regarding this are: It's not because you suspect someone is cheating that they really are.
It's not because someone you reported weeks/months ago isn't banned that they're not watching, sometimes they might be just observing further to collect more evidences as proof of cheat.
KRU won't protect anyone if they find proof. Sometimes all is needed is time to see things moving in these matters.

Nangen Trial: The verdict
Posted
by: Vini
-- 11:55 PM EST
|
As scheduled the Trial of Nagnang v. Hobart began at 9pm EST in Nagnang Royal Court inside the palace. Dozens of curious people gathered around to watch the second trial held within those walls since the palace restoration.
The trial was conducted with Fayebelle as mediator of justice and Sieo, the minister of Nagnang acted as prosecutor. Hobart seems to have chosen to represent himself in the defense while King ChaeRi's participation on the trial was just as witness.
The jurors were formed by primogens and primarch of the seven clans of the kingdom. Present were: Davie, Phillies, Omoikiru, Haunt, Sawl, Blacktalon, Anrak, Belladonna, ShiKago, Ruse, vheissu and Lexus.
The main arguments used by prosecution were:
Hobart violated the Royal Decree proclaimed by ChaeRi on Hyul 77, Moon 12, 3rd Sun which stated the defendant was banned from entering Nagnang and if found of nangen soil would be arrested under grounds of disturbing the peace, conspiracy against the Nagnang Royal Family, and conspiracy to sabotage Nagnang property.
Prosecution focus a good amount of time in the negotiations when Hobart attempted in Hyul 35 with Wiyae (man responsible for murder of King Zhou and Queen Filia of Nagnang) to sell or trade information about the onyx he obtained and later giving it to Humma, known murderer of Kinung Mayor Cheyn.
Prosecution reminded people of the defendant’s attempts to sell Nagnang lands when he was primogen of Covenant clan in Hyul 41 which back then was his first banning of taking any official position in Nagnang. | The main arguments used by defense were:
The negotiations with Wiyae were not considered an act of treason back then, otherwise he would not have been allowed to become primogen in a nangen clan after that day. He also blamed the effects of the Onyx on his mind.
The defendant took over as primogen of Covenant clan during a difficult period of transaction not long after army had been disbanded. According to him he was able to bring the clan on brink of disbanding to be an active clan and helped it survive up to these days.
The defendant cleared out that the "Trade bans" on the southern Koguryo route to Nagnang did not affect any crime rates, unlike it was claimed by the King and that he was present during the inspections to the southern gate done by King M'hul, General Amatus of KRA, his soldiers, the Koguryo Prime Minister and the Chongun Elder. |
In the end, each of the sides spoke their final arguments and jurors had time to deliberate on their votes. One of the jurors asked what the point of that trial was if King ChaeRi had before decided alone on the same sentence they could if fault guilty.
During the course of the end of the trial this question was never fully addressed.
After then, the jurors announced they had reached a verdict: 8-4 found Hobart guilty of the charges of treason and abuse of restricted access, he was sentenced to be exiled from the kingdom, and if he wants too much to prove his loyalty to Nagnang he should immediately begin making reparations to the kingdom. At the end of the trial, Hobart was escorted out by soldiers of Nagnang, but upon entering his clan hall to abandon it before moving to wilderness, Hobart fled.
It is unknown yet what will be the consequences of Hobart's attempt to escape, but Minister Sieo spoke of this could possibly change his status to "Enemy of State".

Trial by Jury: The Nagnang Kingdom v. Hobart
Posted
by: Vini
-- 2:31 PM EST
|
Couple weeks ago the political scenario of Nagnang had a commotion due to a discussion between King ChaeRi and Hobart which ended up becoming a Royal Trial against the alleged farmer in the kingdom.
It all started when Hobart made a public statement on Chronicles of the Winds stating he was moving from Koguryo back to "home" in Nagnang and rejoined Covenant Clan, where he was once primogen of. The Nagnang Royal was not happy to hear the news of Hobart's return and made a public statement saying Hobart was not welcome in Nagnang due to his past actions of trying to sell Nagnang lands when he was Primogen of Covenant and trying to negotiate a piece of Onyx with Wiyae, the man responsible for the death of both ChaeRi parents and also involved in the assassination of Prince Kija. While King ChaeRi seemed firm about his decision to not allow Hobart to live in Nagnang anymore, some people jumped to support their King while others supported the former primogen and his right to have a home in the kingdom. From there a series of posts were made public on the matter.
The situations escalated to a level that involved many different parties and in order to reach a fair decision, the Nagnang Ministry has convoked a Trial by Jury to decide the fate of Hobart in Nagnang. Such community Trial will be held tonight, 9pm EST at Nagnang Palace Courtroom. The list of jurors will not be disclosed until moments before the trial commences to ensure these people will not be approached by third parties and will remain impartial during the moments anticipating the trial until they begin hearing the facts.
Here is a copy of the public announcement of this trial made by Nagnang Minister Sieo on Chronicles of the Winds board:
Nagnang vs. Hobart Trial
To the citizens of Nagnang and all other lands,
The government of Nagnang is hereby formally calling the one known as Hobart to trial. He may remain within the walls of Covenant Clan until the trial date of ((July 20th at 9 pm EST)) where he will be summoned to the Palace Courtroom.
In the interest of government transparency, it has been decided that the upcoming trial will be conducted openly for the public to witness. Disruptors will be removed or jailed.
Any individuals who wish to speak during the trial for Hobart should reach out to him to offer your support.
Any individuals who wish to speak during the trial for the prosecution should speak with Sieo.
Not all who contact us will be chosen/allowed to speak.
Specific charges will be enumerated at the trial.
-Sieo Bijeon
Sage of Nagnang |
Nexus Atlas will cover the outcome of this trial as the verdict is decided by jurors. This is the second Royal trial held by Nagnang Government since ChaeRi became the monarch. The first one was trial against Hawkmori which did not end well.

New Coats of Wisdom

People may have a collection of wisdom clothes at their wardrobe, but as of today a new type of coats of wisdom was released, which are called Robe of Wisdom and Gown of Wisdom as can be seen below.
Before you rush out to Palace Greeters or Palace Chamberlains to get yourself a new coat, understand that these are in fact coats of the Monk subpath and are restricted to their members, at least for now.
Behold the new "Minor quest for Monks". Special thanks to Elder Jasna and long time former elder Janken for modeling with their new coats undyed and with Monk dye.

Disgruntled NPCs
Posted
by: Ferro
-- 7:08 AM EST

After the most recent reset, various NPCs throughout the kingdom have started to complain about their deplorable working conditions under Wony. Here are some of their quotes:- Please tell Wony to pay us.
- Help us. We are being enslaved by terrible Wony.
- Wony is a terrible dictator and a tyrant.
- If we don't get paid soon, we will go on a strike.
- Wony hasn't paid NPC's for the 18 years. We can't go on like this.
What could this all mean? A prelude of things to come? A practical joke by Mir? We'll keep you posted as this matter unfolds.

Iron Hands Walkthrough - Part 1 (Preparations)
Posted
by: Vini
-- 9:10 AM EST
|
As reported below, there's a new place at southwest corner of Buya (000,155) called Key 2 and entering it gives access to a place called Iron Crossing which is the starting point of this intriguing event.
However, before trying to adventure yourself with walking, jumping or swimming on the lava, there are some certain preparations you need to do to be able to enter the hunting cave area called "Iron Dungeon".
Here is the walkthrough to the preparations necessary to enter the Iron Dungeon:
1. Go to Crystalline Chapel and click the option about Frozen Footing
2. She'll ask for one Gruff ring and will give you a frozen footing in return. Here's the Gruff ring quest walkthrough.
3. Before crossing the Iron Crossing's lava, grab the following items: seaweed, rose, kapur branch, stardrop, amethyst and apple.
Note: Frozen footing are now more resistant to high temperatures and will not melt upon crossing the lava. This way you only need 1 for multiple crossings.
4. Go back to Iron Crossing (read news below) and finally cross the lava!
5. Next you'll reach a room called Patio where the secret of the eye is guarded by a secret hidden on top of 7 pillars. Each with a different keyword.
 
Place the Amethyst in the north-west pillar, the Stardrop in the north pillar, the Apple in the north-east pillar, the Seaweed in the south-west pillar, the Rose in the south pillar, and the Kapur branch in the south-east pillar. When standing before each pillar, you will receive a popup. Enter the name of the item associated with each pillar.
6. Once you type the item name on the 6 pillars of the edges, go to the center one. You only need 1 set per character to be able to go back and forth on this part.
Once you stand by the 7th pillar at center, you'll descent to a leveled cave called "Iron Dungeon", the hideout of the IronHands. Entering the cave part of the event does not give an extra legend mark.

The threat of IronHands to Asmodi Continues
Posted
by: Vini
-- 7:00 AM EST
|
As the word of the winds blew through the kingdoms, the news that the conflict between the Asmodi and a band of evil people called "IronHands" has gained a new chapter.
So far, two new aspects were found related to that:
First is that at Buya southwest corner (000,155) people can now find the entrance to a place called "Key 2", which looks very similar to the first "Key" room from years ago, but without having to pass inks to go through small holes the wall. The Key 2 has a big opening to the Eye located at 023,022.
Once there, people can find themselves at a room called "Iron Crossing", a large room with an empty tent and a lava river with visible land on the other side. So far, no one has seemed to find out yet how to cross the lava, but approaching the border gives you the option to choose between attempting to jump, swim, walk through the lava.
The only other hint for now besides that is at the top of Scribe's Mountain, where people can find the "Sam Asmodi". So far, all attempts to talk to Sam Asmodi have failed as well as trying to talk with Mananana or Dashae on Kinung, who helped create the shoes of lavawalker. Using the Ice Beast's quest travel shoes didn't help cross the lava either.
So at this point the clues might lay in what we know from the past events.
What is known so far:
At our first encounter with Iron Hands we found out that they had invaded purgatory and imprisoned Asmodi with some special magic to learn about the existence of the "Eyes". The "Eyes" are portals that the Asmodi use to observe and warp around between the realm of the living and ethereal realm, allowing them to pull people from caves upon situations of dangerous situations to prevent attempt to help saving people from premature death.
Who are the IronHands?
They're a ring (or clan) of ambitious spellcrafters who sought the power of Asmodi Eyes for personal purposes. So far, only 3 of them were met, all Sa san casters: A woman named Hacquin (Poet) , a man called Melgis (Mage) and what seemed to be their leader, a man called Gotesi (Poet). They attacked the vale back in Hyul 59 and during those days kept asking people where someone named Darengal was.
They seemed to have captured and imprisoned the Asmodi to obtain their powers, but community helped sustain the Asmodi against the IronHands and weakened their powers.
Can we find more clues?
Here's the walkthrough to the first event

18th Anniversary End
Posted
by: Loxie
-- 5:39 AM EST

I wanted to write a summary on this year's anniversary festival. It is the first time we've reached 400+ players daily in a very long time. The free play was a huge success, with new and returning players joining us for the event. Many of them reached 99 and I hope to see them joining each other for real hunts to Il san and beyond.
As a Tangun Tutor I saw very little abuse of the system and more of an effort to explore the changes in the game together, and helping each other with questions and quests.
The Anniversary Festival was a success thanks to all of the assorted organizations who gathered together to entertain us. I haven't seen this much participation in events in ages. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for taking time out of your Wisdom Star to host events. I know it helped introduce a few new people to the game.
If Wony and mir continue with this effort at communication, updates, and offering alternatives when events are delayed things can only improve. Thank you for continuing free play, and thank you for such a great week.

Scroll lock no longer takes Jpg screenshots!
|
While hunting during wisdom star I've accidentally pushed scroll lock instead of home and noticed something different.
Jpg is no longer an option! the ugly Jpg was replaced with the small sized/better quality PNG.
I've mentioned this a few months ago how Nexus Atlas accepts screenshots from users to post on the news and sometimes users don't press shift+ scroll lock and they're left with sending us terrible looking images.
They end up pixelating and colors get messy but NO MORE!
Welcome to a world of colors, of high definition, where you no longer see pixels, but the beauty of contours and millions of colors even when you zoom in!

Happy 4th and 18th Anniversary
|
NexusAtlas would like wish to wish everyone a Happy 4th of july that's celebrating the holiday today.
Celebrate safely So you'll be able to continue what's left of wisdom star. =)
Rumors has been floating around that July's wisdom stars is short
compared to the new years holiday so get your hunts in while you can.
A new featured Image shown below has been added to NexusTk's website.
"Thank you for your support during the past 18 years! May the next eighteen ones be even better for for NexusTK community.
This month will be full of activities to celebrate the best what the Kingdom of The Winds has: You!"
This could just be a simple update to the official website, but it could means they'll be updating it a lot more in the soon future.

Tangun and Anniversary Play FAQ
Posted
by: Loxie
-- 2:10 AM EST
|
mir posted an explanation about how the Tangun and Anniversary play will work. Be careful, it seems as if your items will be dropped after the end of the trial.
BOARD TITLE: Dream Weaver
FROM: mir DATE: 6/30
SUBJECT: Tangun & Anniversary Play FAQ
Q. How can a newbie character leave Tangun?
A. Choose a path (be L5), and click Yachae in the inn.
Q. What is Anniversary Play?
A. It is 5 day free Nexus play with no restrictions.
Q. Who is qualified for Anniversary Play?
A. Pre-L50 unregistered characteres.
Q. How can I get Anniversary Play?
A. Be Lev 20 or higher. Find and click the NPC, Halbae, near the bridge in Tangun, and agree to what he says.
Q. Can I have Anniversary Play more than once?
A. Sorry, No. Only once.
Q. What happens if the anniversary ends before Anniversary Play expires?
A. Your Anniversary Play is still valid after the anniversary. But the NPC that enables the Anniversary Play will be gone, with the anniversary.
Q. What happens when the Anniversary expires?
A. You will get a brief notice, then you will drop most of your inventory items, and won't be able to withdraw deposited items. If your current level is higher than L49, you won't be able to log back in, just as if your registration expired. So, if you want to log back in as a non-reg character, do not advance beyond 49. |
