The strayed silien has return

It's a long time since Karidad, the strayed yet much valued, silien elf had been seen.

Now she has return, stronger from her adventures in the land of the drows, and better equipped (see sexy photo below), to continue her course in Aden and beyond.

Wearing a tallum armor to strengthen important .. assets.

No comments whatsoever about her weapon of choice.

Stuck Again! (or About Flying)

Most characters level 75 (or more) have probably tried flying - the new feature added in the last expansion.

Flying can be controlled either

• using the mouse (click where you want to go), or 
• using keyboard shortcuts (A/D, W/S, Q/E). 

I think a combination of both is most efficient. Usually I use my right hand to click where I want to go, and my left hand to control macros and altitude (Q/E).

The problem? You get stuck. Very often!

Archmage/Fyonar helped me a lot, by noticing that the flying "things" (should I call them "rocks"?) usually have invisible strings, connecting them to the invisible "ceiling" and the "ground".

Another reason I get stuck is because I forget I am in "enter-chat" mode, try to talk, and usually end up with all possible windows (inventory, map, etc) open.

Note: "Enter-chat" mode does not mean you can actually enter chat. On the contrary, it requires you to press enter before you try to speak. Counter-intuitive, isnt it?

Game news

Not-so-new "pumpkin" event (also knows us "Summer Squash Event") with not-so-interesting rewards will take place from June 9th to June 16th. NPCs will remain around for another week. At least you gain quest items by hunting mobs in your lvl, so it's not that bad.

The quest history, about the poor farmer.. nurturing plants with love.. blah blah, evil blah blah, seeds infused with anger blah blah.. Same as last year.

Now for the important news....

The "subclass change" paid service will start! Yeap! On June 9th!

Not much detail has been published, but expectations and rumors are that it will allow swapping between main and subclass! It took place once before, for a limited time (Jolcyk changed from a short dwarfette to a sexy female human!). It will cost €30 / $50.

Excellent news for healers

You will never believe this! In the next update, healers will be able to choose skills from their fellow healer classes! At least according to the patch notes - it will get verified soon, when it gets live at Korea.

Requirement: 3rd class

• Cardinals get 1 skill (used to be 2).
• Eva's Saints get 1 skill (used to be 2).
• Silien Saints possibly get 4 skills (they haven't changed that yet)!

Choices can be altered, but deleting a skill learned this way costs 10M.

Caution, not all skills are available. For example Balance Life seems to be missing from the table. Oh well. Still we (= Silien Saints) can get clarity! At last those stupid sorcerers will now party with us!
