Outdated

I logged in on a whim to see what's new in the world of Drakensang-Online and found that my character is in serious need of an upgrade.

The place looks great, BTW with lots of new things to see and places to go!

My Dragon Knight doesn't look quite as spiffy, unfortunately.

Reconnection Lost...AGAIN!

Drakensang-Online went back, well...online again only to conk out after about 20 minutes of playing. So much for that idea.

Error Code 17

This error code has been bugging me since early afternoon (it's now 6:30 PM).

Release 054

Sorry, guys but no word on the Spellweaver issue (Release 051).

Instead, honor points will no longer solely be for armor. Every point you earn in battle will bring you closer to unlocking improved skills from the Talents of Honor.

And you get...fame (Irene Cara's song of the same title suddenly comes to mind)!

The Talents of Honor (PVP)

• Increase your skills in addition to the Talents of Experience in player versus player battles and in Anderworld
• Each time you reach a new talent level, your powers in battle improve and, with every 5th talent level you reach, you can choose from one of 2 talents
• To learn how to use your new talents, you need honor points, which you can win while battling other warriors

Read all the details about the new Release here.

Look at what I'm Packing

Farming in the Burning Coast

Is it me or there are actually a lot more items and coins being dropped now at the Burning Coast?

There was a time when I headed off to Slifmoor when I wanted to stock up on health potions and Essence of Combat. Now it seems that I get more stuff when I do my farming at the Burning Coast.

I'm now at my six batch of Essence of Combat and have 16 Better Health Potions.

I definitely like!

Defeated by the Herald of the Underworld

The three of us (Gerry Alanguilan, Ysa Arce, and I) decided to take on the Herald of the Underworld seeing as Gerry and I are already Level 40 Dragon Knights and Ysa is already a Level 39 Spellweaver. We figure that we can take him between the three of us.

Two words: big mistake.

The Herald made short work of us. After battling it out for about 5-10 minutes (where we barely made a dent in the beast's health points) we decided to beat a hasty retreat and return to town.

Another day, Herald, Another day...

XVII: Resting at Level 39

As much as I want to race my character till level 40, I decided to stop playing and stop at 39 (I am still very upset with the update).

It's also hard to grind and fill the XP cells when there's very limited quests. Since being a Spellweaver is expensive, I'll probably be online occasionally or when I feel like playing

I really feel bad about the R051 update which according to them is predominantly a "revision of the Spellweaver" (WHY THE HELL DID YOU NEED TO DO THAT?!).

Before I can grind solo in Dragon's Cavern without breaking a sweat. Now, I need a bodyguard (thank you very much, Jonas) or else I'll be dead most of the time. My character feels helpless whenever I grind solo. When I'm surrounded by monsters I can't perform chain attacks because of the stupid mana cap.

So, after that update, I ran out of interest in playing.

Maybe one of the game developers got his heart broken by an ex-GF who used to play Drakensang as a Spellweaver and decided to get even by de-powering the Spellweaver class.
