This topic will cover changes coming to Talking Island x3 server on next Monday 24.10.2022 This will be an update almost entirely aimed to end game players. HUNTING ZONES ITEMS OTHER CHANGES HUNTING ZONES HELLBOUND With the new patch, players will be able to venture into the Hellbound island, where a series of new enemies, quests, objectives, gear and challengers awaits. Hellbound area work on a progressive system, where players can unlock new areas and new enemies by completing certain objectives and increasing their trust levels with the natives in the zone. This system has a 7 level progress window (for now), where level one is the most basic, and level 7 is the big one where players get to challenge and relentless chimeras and the scary celtus, and gain access to the final level of the trust with natives that will allow them to exchange items they obtain from monsters to exchange for S grade armors, jewels and weapons recipes and key materials. To gain access to the Hellbound island players will have to complete a quest called Path to Hellbound. This is a level 78+ quest and starts on NPC Casian in wastelands. The seven stages on Hellbound and how to progress them. HB Stage 1 - Harbor - Don't kill Subjugated Natives, Charmed Natives and Quarry Slaves because each of them killed decreases trust points by 10. - Monsters that give 1 trust point each (Harbor Area):Junior Summoners, Junior Watchmen, Blind Huntsmen, Blind Watchmen. - Monsters that give 3 trust points each (Megaliths): Arcane Scouts, Arcane Guardians and Arcane Watchmen. - When you kill monsters you will occasionally get Darion's Badges. Keep them for later use. - At first stage you must reach 420,000 trust points. HB Stage 2 - Ancient Temple - Still don't kill Subjugated Natives, Charmed Natives and Quarry Slaves because each of them killed decreases trust points by 10. - Hand over Darion's Badges to Kief. For every darion's badge you get 10 trust points. - Remember that once hellbound has reached level 2 the monsters you had to kill in stage 1 don't give anymore trust points, only darion's badges. - Purchase a Native Helmet, a Native Tunic and Native Pants from Tailor Buron at the harbor entrance for 10 Darion's Badges each. - Once you have the native set you will obtain a skill to transform into a native. - Then go to Hidden Oasis and talk to Bernarde and buy holy water from him for 5 darion's badges. - With the Holy Water obtained from Bernarde, head to ruins of the Ancient Temple. - There you will meet three different souls: Remnant Wraith, Remnant Diviner, and Remnant Diabolist. The Remnant Wraith can be simple killed, but the other two souls have to be attacked and relieved with the Holy Water when their HP has decreased to zero. - During stage 2 of Hellbound you must raise the number of overall trust points on the server from 420,000 to 512,000. HB Stage 3 - Native Village - Still don't kill natives. - As before you can hand over Darion's Badges to Kief. For every darion's badge you get 10 trust points. - Even now at stage 3 hellbound you have to be transformed in native to interact with the npcs. - Monsters that give 3 trust points each (Native Village): Darion's Executioner and Darion's Enforcer. - Monsters that give 100 trust points each (Native Village): MiniBoss Keltas. - Kill Keltas in order to get native treasures. - In stage 3 hellbound Keltas spawn every 4 to 8 hours. - Accumulate 604,000 trust points then give 40 treasures to Jude and 1 to Bernarde to reach stage 4 hellbound. - Can purchase from Jude a Ring of wind mastery for 40 treasures. HB Stage 4 - Relieving Derek of his Suffering - Don't kill natives. - You can still kill Keltas for native treasures which you can handle to Jude for a reward. - In stage 4 hellbound Keltas spawn every 8 to 16 hours. - Keltas or the other monsters at the Native Village will NOT give you trust points anymore when killed. - Also you can't give darion badges to Kief to increase trust points anymore. - You have to kill Derek at Ancient Temple Remnants to reach stage 5 hellbound. - After that, Darion's Executioners and Darion's Enforcers will vanish and Keltas will not spawn any more. - Kief and Tailor Buron can from now on be found in a building of the village. - Obtain Basic Caravan Certificate from Trader Falk at the Hidden Oasis for 20 Darion's Badges. - Then talk to Hude at Caravan Encampment to obtain Standard Caravan Certificate. - You must bring Hude 30 Marks of Betrayal and 60 Poison Stingers from Wandering Caravans, Sand Scorpions and Desert Scorpions. - With the Standard Caravan Certificate you can buy from Hude the so-called "Caravaner's Remedy" that neutralizes Heat of Desert debuff for 1 hour real time. - One bottle is 25,000 adena, and the Remedy can not be traded or dropped. - Can purchase from Jude a Ring of wind mastery for 40 treasures. HB Stage 5 - Rescuing Quarry Slaves - Talk to Tailor Buron and Solomon in the main building of the Native Village. - Then go talk with Jude and head to Hellbound Quarry. - Here you must kill: Quarry Foremen, Patrolmen and Supervisors. - After you have killed the guards, talk to the Slaves and tell them to follow you. - Bring the Slaves to the end of the Quarry in southern end of the road and you will see a targetable stone pillar. At this point, the Slaves are safe. - When saving the Quarry Slaves, watch out for the overseers who will kill any escaping Slave. - Each dead slave will decrease the trust level on your server by 10 points. - In a hidden corner of the Native Village you can find a Hellbound Traitor who can open a door for 10 Marks of Betrayal. - Inside that room you can find Resistance Fighter General [Leodas] RaidBoss who drops only S-Grade Armor Enchantment Scrolls. - To reach stage 6 you must rescue aprox 1900 quarry slaves. HB Stage 6 - Battle for the Enchanted Megaliths - In stage 6 hellbound some changes are present at the Enchanted Megaliths. - More monster appeared there: - Naia's Defender [Hellinark] is a lvl 84 Raid Boss. - Hellinark can use his magical powers to summon [Naia Failans], cactus-like crystalline who can cast debuffs on everyone threatening them and their master. - Hellinark has a great number of [Failan's Guards] and [Arcane Guardians] at his disposal.Both of them are spoiling EWS scrolls. - Like at [Stage 5] you can talk to the Hellbound Traitor at the Native Village. Give him 10 Marks of Betrayal, and you will have a chance to kill Resistance Fighter General [Leodas]. - Once the Enchanted Megaliths are taken, the invisible barrier isolating the Battered Lands will fall and the Chimeras living there can be hunted this meaning you reached stage 7 hellbound. HB Stage 7 - Battered Lands and S GRADE Recipes and key mats. - Talk to Caravan Merchant Hude at Caravan Encampment and bring him 56 Life Forces and 14 Contained Life Forces to obtain Premium Caravan Certificate. - For collecting the Life Forces you need a Magic Bottle that can be obtained for 20 Scorpion Poison Stingers from NPC Kief at the Native Village. - Head to Battered Lands and kill Chimeras for Dim Life Force and regular Life Force. - Contained Life Force can be obtained from their leader Celtus. - After you collected 56 regular Life Forces and 14 Contained Life Forces you must obtain from Hude the Premium Caravan Certificate. - This Premium Caravan Certificate entitles you to trade with him for key materials and recipes needed to craft Dynasty equipment - weapons, armor and jewelry. - Caravan Merchant Hude does not take adena, however, but pieces of paper you obtain by double-clicking on an Ancient Tome of the Demon: Hidden First Pages, Hidden Second Pages or Demon Contract Fragments.
