~New Lands to Explore~
Season 3 will launch with two new lands for Grand Chase players to
explore. Alcubra, the land that was hidden beyond the Silver Land, will
now be the next stop after Silver land. This new land is a large desert
with a single fertile area of forests. Alcubra will look familiar to
players already acquainted with Egyptian mythology but with a distinct
Grand Chase twist. The all-new dungeons located in Alcubra are the
Goblin Work Site, Underpass of Lost Hope, Kungji Village, and Sands of
Illusion. These new dungeons will show off an incredible array of
dungeon types ranging from barren deserts to the lush forests of
Alcubra’s fertile region. For players at the top end, the new war-torn
land of Archimedia will now be available. The Grand Chase knights know
nothing of the land where Dwarves and Elves vie for control and are
mistaken for Elven Spies and immediately attacked upon arrival! The new
dungeon located in Archimedia is Hammer’s Reach, the outlying Dwarven
base.
~Item and Equipment Update~
A wide range of changes have been implemented to make gear selection and
upgrading easier for all players. The most exciting update to equipment
and items is a stat normalization for all equipment. All items will
have a set number of stat points that are based on item level which will
give players the ability to adjust their equipment more carefully and
compare different sets of items more accurately. Item grades will also
be easy to identify using new colored item text.
In addition to stat normalization, all-new stats have been added to
many pieces of equipment. Equipment will be able to grant players
exciting new bonuses like life steal, HP/MP regeneration, and XP
increases. These stats will allow for further customization of outfits
and give players more choice when it comes to selecting equipment for
different situations.
Players will also be able to customize their item stats in two new
ways. All items will have a number of points allotted to them that can
be reassigned by the players. This allows players to further tweak their
equipment to their specific tastes. The other way players can customize
their equipment is through the all new Monster Cards. These new Cards
can be placed within sockets on the armor. Each Monster Card will be
based on a monster from Grand Chase and give a specific bonus to the
piece of equipment in which it is placed.
~Use Interface Improvements~
The user interface of Grand Chase has undergone a massive face lift
making the world map more cohesive and giving players access to more
information to help them get the best gameplay experience possible.
Players will now be greeted with a large map showing all of the lands of
Grand Chase. This revised world map gives the world of Grand Chase a
feeling of grand vastness. Additionally, the all new and improved
dungeon UI will now allow players to see their current progress through
the dungeon along with items collected, experience gained and quest
objectives. Thanks to this new UI, players will now be able to run
dungeons more efficiently and maximize their experience.
~All-new Missions and Reward System~
Season 3 is Grand Chase’s most comprehensive update. The missions have
received a complete overhaul and each mission players receive while
leveling their characters has been updated. Missions will now feature
more engaging stories and better defined objectives. These missions will
send players back to dungeons and provide a cohesive, overarching story
for players to follow while rewarding players who are interested in
leveling up faster and collecting quest rewards.
All new missions will have a scaling reward system. Season 3
introduces a scaling XP reward system that will give bigger XP rewards
to players that complete missions at lower levels. As players level
higher, the XP reward will be scaled back to encourage players to do
missions earlier. In addition to mission improvements, players will now
be given visual cues in dungeons and on the world map to indicate the
next dungeon they need to visit. Visual cues inside of dungeons will
show players which monsters they need to kill in order to complete their
missions.
