Brief Introduction to v7300
With the advent of this patch, once a player reaches level 100 he will no longer earn Experience Points. In order to level past 100, he must complete the special quest called To Be Immortal. Upon completion, he will be flagged as an Immortal. From that point forward, the leveling paradigm becomes dramatically different. Beginning at character level 95 and reputation level 6, a player can receive quests from the Disciple of the Immortal You Huan, who can be found in the Elder Elemental Fairy Realm. This will set the player on the arduous but rewarding path of immortality as he learns how to construct his own Heroic Suit of armor. With it, you will become more powerful than ever before!

Also new to this version of the game is the “instance” system. Instances are private adventuring areas where you and your friends can freely kill mobs, explore the world, or go on quests. Once you enter an instance nobody is allowed to come into it, thus giving you the luxury and time to play the game at your own pace. While instance quests give better than average rewards, it is because the creatures found within them are more powerful than their non-instanced brethren. The quality of their loot drops is also better than average, providing you with the high quality raw materials needed to make some of the finest armor and weapons in the game.

New Skills: A host of new gathering and creating skills are available now. No longer will you have to worry about being defined by the quality of your gear or level; these skills open up a whole new dimension to the game, allowing you to assume the role of master blacksmith or erudite alchemist, to name a few. You can even become the reclusive hermit of legend!

New Items: Improved and heroic quality weapons and armor will grant you the power to slay all foes that stand in your way!

New Elite Mobs: Mobs found inside the new instances are stronger than others of their ilk, and many are unique to the instances in which they live. Fortunately, with greater risk comes greater reward. The quality of loot dropped by their dead bodies is much higher than normal.

New Quests: The questing system has been significantly bolstered with this patch, as has Experience and gold gains. Furthermore, quests are also available for instances.

New Mounts: All heroes deserve to have unabashedly heroic mounts upon which to ride. With this patch, new mounts become available for purchase, including the ultra-heroic “Holy Dragon”.

New Sub-Skills: Of all the new features added to the game with this patch, the new sub-skills are the ones that will truly change the game. A host of brand new abilities are available for use on the battlefields and in challenges. Adventuring in the Warring States will never be the same again!

New Items

Heroic Armor
When a player reaches a certain level and has enough reputation, he can talk with the Disciple of the Immortal You Huan in the Elder Elemental Fairy Realm in order to begin the To Be Immortal quest. This will allow him to enter the Hanging Sky Perch and challenge the six bosses who reside there. If he defeats them, he will receive the materials he needs to create a suit of Heroic Armor. The Disciple of the Immortal You Huan will then bless the Heroic Armor to greatly enhance its attributes.



Level 105 Armor
Only elite characters can wear legendary armor.



Golden Armor
Suits of golden armor are for players who achieve reputation level 10. In addition to indicating the wearer’s high social rank, they also significantly improve one’s attributes. Players can buy or trade for this kind of armor; it is not necessary to forge them.



New Monsters
The Instances system introduces an all new type of monster, one that is more elite and decidedly more dangerous than its non-instanced counterparts. Accordingly, they also guard treasure worthy of their exalted status.
Moreover, many of the creatures in forgotten parts of the world are now more powerful than ever before. Months of manipulating, studying, and absorbing the raw energies of the environments they inhabit have boosted their power to formidable levels. You and your cohorts must rid the world of this scourge!

Requirement of being Grandma Xia's Senescent Apostle:
