//New features

/Twitter

Twitter has been added to the game. To activate it you have to click on the Twitter logo at the bottom right. At first use you have to allow 4Story to use your Twitter account. Therefore you have to enter a PIN code that will be shown on the Twitter website.

After you successfully added your Twitter Account you can send tweets from 4Story to all your followers. It is even possible to include screenshots that you have taken with the “print”-key on your keyboard.

/Rental Items

In all main cities you can find a NPC that has items for rent. The NPCs have a selection of items for all classes with an upgrade level between +12 and +15. These items only have a limited duration.

/New Mount System

Every new character will have a permanent 140% mount.

With saddles (premium items) it is possible to increase the speed and change the look of the mounts. Saddles can be equipped in the pet interface (“p”).

Additionally there are special mounts for sale at certain NPCs.

Whips can be used to increase the speed of mounts for a short period of time. These whips can be looted from monsters and there will be a special whip available at the cash-shop.

Saddles for 175% and special looking mounts will still be sold in the cash-shop.

All current mounts will be migrated into the new system. There will be no changes for current users! Only that their 175% perm mount will now be a mount + saddle.

/Automatic Quest Help

When accepting a quest you can see two buttons next to the “Quest-Ticker” on the right side of the screen.

The first button will switch on/off the destination arrows that are in front of your character. The second button will toggle auto run.

Once pressed the character will automatically move towards the next quest goal:

·         If it is a monster the character will automatically start to attack the monster with the default skill.

·         If the destination is reachable through a teleporter the character will walk to the teleporter and ask if you really want to teleport.

Another function is auto run if you click on a location on the mini map or the normal map.

/Mentor System

We added a mentor system. This will support low level palyers in their struggle to get to higher levels. Level 90 players are able to become a mentor for low level players.

·         Every player with level 90 can become a mentor.

·         Every player below level 50 can become a mentee.

·         Every mentor can have up to 30 mentees.

·         Every mentee can have a maximum of one mentor.

·         If all requirements are met, the mentor/mentee relationship can be established by a right click on the other characters portrait.

o   Both players have to be grouped.

o   Mentor system can be activated and deactivated by right clicking the other players portrait.

·         When the mentor system is active the attackpower and hitpoints of the mentor will be reduced to the level of the mentee

·         When the mentor system is active the experience that the mentor would gather is automatically transferred to the mentee.

·         Once the mentee reaches level 90 the mentor will get a reward (Currently: Mystery box with either a 300% serendipity potion or the Formula of Transformation)

o   The mentor will only receive the reward if he contributed to the mentees experience by at least 1% (39232 XP)

/Aide System

The aide system allows a level 80 player to name another low level player as sidekick. Level 90 players are even allowed to have 2 sidekicks.

Sidekicks are able to support high level players in the daily area conquests.

To activate/deactivate the sidekick system players have to click on the character portrait and select the appropriate option.

·         During the area conquest the sidekicks will receive a bonus on physical and magical defense stats as well on hitpoints and hitpoint regeneration. It will then be on the same level as normal level 80 characters.

Fight in the new 3vs3 and 7vs7 arenas in Tebekut and get the rewards.

The players of all kingdoms can group up and participate in the 3vs3 and 7vs7 battles.

·         To participate in the arenas the group leader has to talk to the Arena-Manager.

/Conference Hall and Rooms

Players that are in the big conference hall (location: Tebekut) can, regardless of the kingdom, talk to each other via the “Normal-Chat”.

Additionally there are 5 smaller conference rooms. To use these players have to buy an entrance ticket first. Once inside a conference room you can summon other players by talking to the NPC inside. While players are inside a conference room no other players can enter it. One session in a conference room has a maximum time of two hours.

Attention: Only Gor players can buy the entrance tickets for the coinference rooms, but they can be traded to other players.
