This feature guide will take you through some of the important aspects of the 1.9 Patch.

Stigmas were re-arranged to make room for the 3 new slots that will be opened up in 2.0

Previously, if you went to a Stigma Tuner, you could find one basic Stigma per Class – for a total of 8. If that wasn’t the one you were looking for, you either had to resort to the Trade Broker and user-set prices or purchase one using your AP (Abyss Points) at the Abyss Stigma Contributor.
 
Now, Stigma Tuners offer a large variety of Stigmas for each class - roughly 48 per class.

 

Prices start out at around 400,000 for a level 20 Stigma and go up to 3.5million kinah for a level 50 Stigma.
 
Tuners can be found in the Capitol Cities of Sanctum and Pandaemonium near the Stigma Master and Skill Trainers.

 

Sanctum: Clymene offers Stigmas Level 20-50	Pandaemonium: Vergelmir offers Stigmas Level 20-50

 

- Advanced Stigmas

New Level 48 Stigmas have emerged for each class and are available at any Abyss Stigma Contributor. These can be found in both the capitol cities and the main landings in the Abyss (Primum and Teminon). The new stigmas cost 26,500 AP and are as follows:

 

Spiritmaster	Sorcerer

Cleric	Chanter

Templar	Gladiator

Assassin	Ranger

 

In 1.9, all Classes have been given a Remove Shock I skill at level 40 and then a subsequent chain skill at level 48. The skills can be purchased from your Skill Trainer in the Capitol City and will be extremely useful tools in PvP and hunting.

I have too many skills for my Quickbar!

 

You can now enable two additional floating Quickbars that can be moved and arranged to your liking. The new Quickbar can be turned on and off from your Options menu, where you can set the Hotkeys as well.

 

Simply unlock your Quickbar and you can move and change the style of the Quickbar. When you’re done, lock your Quickbar again to keep it in place and hide empty slots.

 

1. Enable Floating Quickbar in Options	2. Arrange the Shape and Location

3. Assign the Hotkeys	4. Lock your Quickbar

 

New Organizations have formed and are accepting members!

 

Daily Quests have been added and begin at level 30. When you reach levels 30 and 40, you will automatically receive an introduction Quest leading you to the recruitment officer for each organization.
 
Join an organization to participate in daily quests and receive rewards. For completion of these quests you will receive some EXP, a bundle item, and a token that can then be exchanged for items at various Reward Stewards. Explore your options and figure out what works best to get to your desired reward.
 
The second organization, which opens for enrollment at level 40, is located in the Abyss and offers rewards such as: Titles with PvP options, Abyss Relics, and Silver Medals.

 

Some daily quests will require you to participate in PvP. It is important to note that during such quests, you will not receive credit for killing players 10 or more levels below yours.  Players who are out of your level range will have a pink name instead of a red one.

New Temples have been added to the Capitol Cities of Sanctum and Pandaemonium. To enter a Temple, use the golden Teleport Statue that has been added.

 

Elyos Temple Quest: Perikles’s Insight

Asmodian Temple Quest: Veldina’s Call

 

Currently there are not many quests you can do in the Temple, but it is nice to take a look around in advance. Later, there are important Campaigns and Quests planned for this area.

Several new hats and costumes have been introduced and are available in the Capitol Cities. The hats can be found at the Divine Accessories Vendor and the costumes are offered by the new Haute Couture Sales Associates.
 
While these level 51 Hats will not be wearable until after the 2.0 Update, this will give you time to pick one and save up, since they cost around 1.8 million kinah.
 
Two new costumes have been added for each race with no level restriction. The price of the new costumes may take your breath away though, as they are going for roughly 14 million kinah.

 

Keep in mind that while a costume is only one item, the look is replacing that of your chest piece, pants, gloves, shoes, and pauldrons. Looking at it that way makes the pricing seem a little less steep.

**The new designer costumes that have been added in 1.9 differ slightly from other costumes.  There are a number of restrictions on them including one that will only allow you to apply its skin to an item once.  Take a look at the screenshot below for a list of these restrictions.

 

 

If you’re going to fight, fight in style!   A number of armor items, including the Daevanion, Miragent, and Anuhart sets, can now have their appearance modified! For many of you, this is a long time coming.   So, get out your favorite appearance armor and go remodel! Anuhart set modified with one of the new costumes Miragent modified to look like the Steel Beard Plate Set

You can now enchant weapons that are Fabled class or higher to +15. Of course, being higher in level, you’ll need a good bit of luck and kinah to accomplish it. To help make this task more achievable, Enchant Assisting Materials (Supplements) have been introduced in the 1.9 update. 
 
Supplements increase the success rate of enchanting and socketing and can be purchased from a Potion Supplies or Remodeled Items Vendor.

 

If you attempt to enchant an item or socket a manastone while Supplements are in your Inventory, a Supplements window will appear.

 

Enchant Item Window	+15 Weapon

You can now combine two-handed weapons to transfer some of the attributes of one item to another. 
 
Greatswords, polearms, orbs, spellbooks, staffs, and bows are all two-handed weapons that can now be combined. Combining weapons transfers some of the Secondary weapon’s stats, options, and all manastone slots to the Primary weapon. The Secondary weapon is destroyed in the combining process and must be of equal or lower level than the Primary weapon. The combining process can also be undone, restoring the primary weapon to its original state.
 
Facts about Armsfusion and Armsbreaking:
 
 Both Primary and Secondary must be the same weapon type
 After fusion, weapons cannot be sold, traded, or stored**
 The Secondary weapon must be equal or lower level than the Primary
 The Secondary weapon is destroyed and lost forever
 The fused weapon can be broken to recover the Primary weapon to its original state. This is called Armsbreaking.

 

**Please note that combining special weapons such as the Daevanian weapons also alters their ability to be traded between characters via the account warehouse.  If you then break apart these weapons, they will retain their original characteristics.

 

 

What carries over?

 

 10% of the Attack (Melee or Magic) value of the Secondary weapon
 Any stat bonus from the secondary weapon that the primary does not have already
 Any stat bonus from the Secondary weapon that is better than what the primary already has
 Manastone sockets from BOTH weapons
 Socketed Manastones from BOTH weapons
 The Godstone from the Primary weapon is kept. If the Secondary weapon has a Godstone it will be destroyed
 Maintains the appearance of the Primary Weapon

Extract Vitality is now known as Essencetapping and Extract Aether is now known as Aethertapping. There have also been several other changes worth noting.

 

Brilliant Aether being Dismantled

- Become an Expert

 

When your skill level reaches 399 and you are level 50, you can visit the Essencetapping or Aethertapping Master to complete a Quest, pay a fee, and become an Expert. Once you become an Expert your skill level will be raised to the new maximum of 499.

 

- Dismantling System

 

A dismantling system was added, which allows for a high-grade resource to be broken down in to 3 lesser resources with a simple double-click. Items that can be dismantled are marked as Bundled Items.

 

Dismantling of Aether   Brilliant Aether  (double-click)  Pure Aether Pure Aether  (double-click)  Greater Aether Greater Aether  (double-click)  Aether

 

 

Up until now, Morphing could only produce common items. With 1.9, there are new Morphing Recipes available for higher-grade items, such as Pure Platinum Ore.
 
Facts about Morphing:

 Morph Methods are similar to Designs or Recipes and must be acquired and learned.
 They are only available at the various Fortress Quartermasters in the Abyss.
 Your faction must control a Fortress to purchase Morph Methods from a Quartermaster.
 Each Quartermaster carries different Morph Methods.

For more details about changes to instances, see the Instanced Dungeon section of the 1.9 Patch Notes.
