SPECIAL NOTES

Here's some generic information on the contents of Episode 2. Attention, these are not exhaustive, surprises await you. New zones of play:
. You will be able to reach these zones via teleportation from the continents.

The introduction of the Steles of Valor:
. The Steles of Valor post the results of the participants in Episode 2, both players and guilds.
. The Steles of Valor will post several classifications: better craftsman, better harvester, better combatant...
. Once the episode finishes, the Steles of Valor will be persistent in the world and the final classification will be preserved. These Steles of the Valor are thus dedicated to Episode 2.

A new profit of reward:
. The participation in Episode 2 enables you to gain points of honour.
. The points of honour will be used for the end of Episode 2 to buy the rewards.

A variation of the crafting skills:
. The missions entrusted to the craftsmen within the framework of Episode 2 will be done with a system of modified crafting skills.
. This system uses raw materials specific for a plan and not the general purpose raw materials. In other words the craftsman for a given plan must use certain raw materials and only those.
. Attention: this system is for the moment limited to the missions of Episode 2. It will be more widely used later on.

Evolutionary contents :
. The contents of Episode 2 evolve as the episode unfolds.
. Episode 2 is divided into many steps, each has its own content.
. Camps, NPCs, zones and missions will appear and disappear.
. Don't be surprised if after the launching of Episode 2, evefrything may not present at the start - this episode evolves.

Events :
. Many events will be played by the Event team during the course of Episode 2.
. These events will give you important information, keep your eyes open!

For memory,
In Episode 1 Elias Tryton revealed the arrival of Jena, the goddess of Karavan on Atys. This advertisement catalysed antagonism opposing Kamis to Karavan.
Since then each of the two factions prepared for the confrontation, an all-out war aiming at the destruction of the adversary.
Many are the homins which were declared for one of the two camps. However others await expectantly for a new message from Tryton.
