GC: New character - Ley the Summoner

I had mentioned before that there will be a new character for Grand Chase (check it here if you haven't seen it yet). Right now, that's when I'll tell you more about it. 

Her name is Ley (name may change once she will be released in other servers), and her first job class is known as Summoner.

Yep, she's a magic user like Arme, except that her attacks compose mainly of summoning dark orbs, especially her skills. And yes, she can levitate and teleport. What interests me though, is her ability to summon a dragon - like creature (reminds me much of Selion, in my opinion), and even a butler! *cough - HayatenoGotoku - cough*


Too bad she's an AP-user, though (like Dio and Zero), and her skills seemed to be way too overpowered. I'm still curious with the claw-like weapon she's wielding (different from Dio's demonic claw). I wonder what's the name. 

But still, she packs quite a punch, especially with her creature and the butler.

That's all for now! Adios, amigos! ^^

EDIT: Changed the video size to fit into my post, and I also added the dungeon run videos... ^^

GC: Clockwork Knight - New SB Gacha set! + new Archemedia dungeons

Awww man, it's been a while since the last SB Gacha event in Grand Chase PH. I knew everyone had gone loco over completing Dark armor sets, even if it's for just one character, for the sake of obtaining Selion. And now, there will another SB Gacha event! This time, it's about the 8th Gacha Set - the Clockwork Knight.

Yep, the mechanics will be the same: Purchase Spell Books using Cash (or GP if you're buying Spell Books for Depleted Beads), use them to open the Gacha Beads, and you'll get a chance to get one of the armor parts of the set, or even weapons. If you complete the set, you'll get the SB Gacha pet.


In this case, you'll get a chance to obtain either one of the parts of the Tinker Apprentice armor set, 1st Job weapons and accessories (from Sealed Beads), Clockwork Artisan armor set, 2nd Job weapons and accessories (from Ancient Sealed Beads), or Steampunk Savant set,  4th Job weapons and  accessories(from Epic Sealed Beads).


Complete a set (including the weapon and the accessories) for one character, and you'll get the pet: Clockwork Knight, the Mecha Guardian.

But if you're out of Cash and prefer to unseal the Depleted Beads, there's a chance that you'll get one part of Elena's set. Unfortunately, it'll expire after 7 days.


By the way, aside from the Gacha event, there will two new dungeons for the Archemedia continent: Undermine and Thunder Hammer. You need to be at least lvl 65 if you want to survive going there.


Anyway, if you're curious, check out the official news here.


That's all for now! Ta-ta! ^^

GC: Another new character? O_O

Ok, I just checked the latest posts at the Grandchase. info blog, and this caught my attention:

There will be another character to be released in the Korean servers of GC, and this time, it's another female character.


News can be found here (for the English speakers), and here (for those who can understand Korean, although using Google translate is a good choice... ^^;).




Well, I'm glad that this new character is not another sword wielder (seriously, most of the GC characters are sword wielders.) Judging from her appearance, I could say that she's a demon, possibly from a royal bloodline.


But still, I'm confused with the weapon she's wielding, and just like most of the players, I hope she's not an AP-user (like Dio and Zero), otherwise it would be boring.


Will be posting more info once the new character is finally out.


That's all! Sayonara! ^^

Tomorrow will be my great day!

Tomorrow will be my 18th birthday, and so, I have a list of things to do on my trip to Bacolod:

- Play Cabal (either level-up or skill-grind my Force Shielder, OR dust off either my Force Archer or Force Blader)
- Continue watching Pokemon Advance Battle (on the 'net, that is)
- Watch Kuroshitsuji / Black Butler ep. 3 (I missed it due to my late grandma's birthday)
- Buy GAME! magazine (both the December and January issues... ^^)
- Purchase "The 39 Clues" (either Book 6, Book 7 or the Big Black Book of Buried Secrets) OR The Hunger Games Trilogy (the paperback boxed set)
- Pig out! ^^

These are just some of the things I will definitely do, but the plan may change depending on the schedule and important stuff to do.

Anyway, that's all for now... Bye! :D

Cabal Online: A new dungeon in Episode V

Oh boy, I just found another interesting update on Cabal Online... ^^

In case you haven't hear of it, Cabal is currently on Episode V entitled "Mercenaries". The title itself refers to the most noteworthy feature of the update: players can summon a Mercenary as a companion during dungeon hunting.

Anyway, I just checked out "A Doctor's Online Gaming Life", and guess what, a new dungeon will appear for all players who enjoy leveling - up and skill - grinding in dungeons. It will be known as "Lava Hellfire", another DX dungeon.

By the way, if you want to know how to get there, read this (from mmosite.com but actually came from this) :

This new dungeon is hidden in Port Lux inside a volcano.

Level req. is 110. Rank 11.

Dungeon itself is 25min long.

Bosses look great, entry item looks awesome, too. And overall it's a bit similar to Catacomb Frost.




To make things clear, here's the basic info:

Level Requirement: Lv. 110+ (class level 11)
Location: within the volcano area of Port Lux (refer to the map above)
Time Limit: 25 mintutes
Entry Item: Ever - heated Lava Stone

Yep, it will surely be treat for Cabal PH players alright. At least, they'll never get bored... ^^

That's all for now! Bye! XD

GC: New log-in screens?!? And even weapon change?!? Dancer now has Skill Tree?!?

Damn! Sick with the usual cough and cold combination again, and I just hope I'll completely recover from it before my birthday.

Ok, enough with the complaints. Here are a few interesting things that I had discovered while browsing through my trusted source for all updates in the Grand Chase world: the Grandchase.info blog:

Update #1:  New log-in screens


Right now, it was currently applied to servers for players in both Thailand and Indonesia. I had to admit, the old log-in screen with the blue skies, white clouds and a grassy field could be quite boring, so the guys who published the game in Thailand and Indonesia decided to revamp the screen for added eye-candy. That would be one interesting suggestion for feedback, if there will be a survey for all GC PH players to answer.

New log-in screen in GC IN (catching up, isn't it?)

Update #2:  Weapon swap


That would surely be a hot topic ever since its inception in the Korean servers. The pet slot in the equipment screen was replaced with the secondary weapon slot, so, bye-bye pets... T_T


Opening the slot is like opening a skill tree using a skill key. Once you open it, it's already open for life. Your character needs to be at least level 45 in order to use it though.


Unfortunately, there were some restrictions. You can only change weapons when you're idle, and it's usable only while hunting in dungeons. Also, you cannot change weapons while in transformation mode (Sorry, Ryan users)... ^^;


Here's a sample video (not from me!):



Update #3:  Dancer ST



Yep, you got that right. In GC PH, another first job class will have a Skill Tree this coming Tuesday after the usual server maintenance, and this time, it's from Amy! The Dancer will have its own skill tree, adding new options and strategies to attack opponents while dancing to the beat. GC PH players will surely be thrilled to see it, but considering the glitches that it had in other servers and the possibility of revamping it to make it smoother, there will be mixed emotions once they see the change. As usual, there will be events to celebrate its arrival.



So there you have it, folks. Check out the official GC PH website and the Grandchase.info blog if you're curious.


Signing off now... Bye! ^^

EDIT: Changed the link of the Grandchase.info blog, since it has gone a huge revamp recently... ^^ 

ANOTHER EDIT: Pets can still be used even with weapon change... Sorry for being so OA... ^^

2011 finally starting

Yep, it's another year with new things to look up, too...

Well, by now, I know many of you will go back to school tomorrow, trying to get out of the hangover during the holidays. And I know most of you have new year's resolutions to follow, but as I for me, I don't believe in making them; I'm just going to change step - by - step.

Anyway, I hope you'll enjoy what I'll be posting for this year. Must sleep now... ZZZzzz
