Scavenging - Gear lv 70-74 Location

left4war in the FW forum said that you can obtain this gear killing the assassin vines in the Sleeping Jungle. I tried this out - YES! You can!

Archer Class Coming?

An apparent announcement on the Chinese server includes this picture of what looks like a new class:

Could an archer class be coming with the next expansion? :D

Ascension: The Weird, the Bad, and the Buggy

There was surprisingly little that went wrong with this expansion! But here are some things that we noticed:

• Arena is still broken
• FF has generic skins for participants again 
• LLH has water issues to the lighthouse again (there should be a portal by a palm tree on the beach)
• The medium training camp for wardens is in Chinese (just remember that this quest works off the first three attack skills you learn, try to match it to the Chinese text- good luck!)
• Lost City is pvp!!
• Dim Wars is now pvp
• I have heard that the crucible is now pvp - but that might be a rumor.
• Some pve servers had their server go pvp! Lionheart was one. (supposedly fixed with 4/12 patch)
• All Orb of Marvels have disappeared from bags and stashes :( (supposedly fixed with 4/12 patch)
• MMs are now "The water is frozen" class, lol
• Vengeance boss/quest indicators are gone
• Warden ranged skills are requiring melee range to cast
• Break the Limits quest is not completing for inheritors as it is marked as already being broken.
• Master/apprentice daily quiz quest still in Chinese.
• Chat settings and other game settings were reset on most characters.
• Wardens can't enter x-server.

 Seem broken but aren't:

• Can't get Henry quests. Check your log. This happened to me - and it was because I still had a Godlike Glory in my list :$
• Can't get things from the shared stash with your inheritor - this is intentional. You are not allowed to trade things to your inheritor.
• Can't click to move - check your settings. You need to check the box for it.
• Can't see guild chat, party chat, etc. Check your settings. Some people got their settings all messed up. For some, it was a matter of reapplying which chat should show in each tab, for others, they needed to click the "show chat in window" box.
• Warrior skill not able to activate. Check your stance. The expansion deactivated stances.
• Can't pray. Select a god. The expansion cleared god choices.
• Can't get to vengeance areas. This is intentional. Talk to the vengeance promoter to get to all vengeance areas.
• I can't use my parent character after trying to delete my new inheritor. This is intentional. These two characters are tied together. Once your inheritor is deleted fully (7 days), your other character will be released for play again.
• Can't find the wargod point and ode to guardian point npcs. The npcs for these were taken out of the marketplace, but the ones in the Hall of Glory are still there: Sabrina (otg) and Klass(wg).

Soultrance Grass Location

There is a quest in the new area that asks you to bring the npc some soultrance grass. He tells you that it's location has clues in fairy tales. ???

If you figure out what that clue means, leave a comment! In the meantime, here's where it is:

Here's what it looks like

Adjusting Your Zoom

Having trouble with the zoom going TOO far out now? You can adjust the maximum amount that it will zoom using this setting.

Ascension - Changes to FW

There were lots of new things added to the game. I'll be posting newly added things from expansion here.

• Some of the items have new stacking amounts! (flight fuel was one of them!)
• Inheritor. 
• You can make a new character that gets automatic upgrades tied to the ones that you have and/or complete on your parent character. 
• You cannot trade or give some things to the inheritor. Some of these things are obtained via the parent/inheritance.
• New area with new quests: EverNight and EverLight. 
• Each area is base on the awakening tracks.
• Daily quest for 800 awakening pts
• New quests for dedication.
• Some raids are no longer giving adamantine coins :(
• New Warden class. 
• High dps, heals, and a revive O.O
• Warden class doesn't have to use skill scrolls, skills are learnable with leveling.
• Instances with fusion mats give MORE MATS!! (I was getting 7 white mushrooms from ToK!)
• New instance added to the expert grouping: Bonegnasher Nest.
• Dan (of Run Boy Run fame) has bonus mastery and resistance for you based on the amount you have already added. This is an ongoing thing, so you will open up new bonuses as you add more pts.
• Same account stash
• This is a new stash area that is shared by all the characters on the same account and is only for unbound items. 
• I have found that items not normally tradeable can go in - and can be pulled out by the other chars. It just has to be an item that does not say it is bound. 
• You can use bank ext to open up more space. 1 ext = 3 spaces. Hint - use the bound ext on your chars on your account to open this - any character on the account can add spaces!
• Progress chart
• You can see where you are at in your progress in relation to a set amount based on your level.
• Located in the C menu.
• New login reward - Beehive daily
• Each click moves the bee one space in a random direction
• Among the possible rewards are soul gold, amethyst crystals, level 3 gems, and anima tokens
• Garderobe dying
• Uses mysterious dye
• You can dye an entire group of fashion at once to be the same color - no more hoping for a match!
• Must use the vengeance promoters to access the vengeance ares once more
• Eclipse Hollow and Sea of Oblivion are now open for questing again! (you can still access the vengeance portion via the Vengeance Promoter).
• Extra zoom out capabilities!

Guild Base Invasion Postponed This Week

We will have guild base invasion after raids on Saturday of this week due to the new expansion coming out today.

Our expedition towards Ascension pushes on this week, bringing us to our fourth preview!  We focus on improvements to in-game systems, jobs advancements and some extra benefits coming soon in Forsaken World: Ascension!

 Stash system

This system lets you easily move items between characters on the same account and server!  Different characters on the same account can use this to share their items and coins.  Only tradable items can be shared.  The shared stash can even be expanded using Bank Extensions!

---

 Dye function

                                                                                 

                                                                                        

Now players will be able to coordinate their look when dying fashion pieces!  Using the Garderobe, players will be able to dye multiple pieces of dye-able fashions at the same time!  The Unify Color function will allow all the fashion pieces to be dyed the same random color!  When dyeing, the Fashion piece will be displayed in a real-time preview.  All dyeing actions in the Gardrobe only cost Mysterious Dye!  No Soul Coins or Gold Coins will be required!  (Dye of a fixed color is not available)

 Vengeance Season 1 ends

 

The Eclipse Hollow and Sea of Oblivion campaigns are now complete!  Players can now return to these areas using the Trackstone once again!  The level requirements of the post-Vengeance Eclipse Hollow and Sea of Oblivion are Lv60 and Lv75 respectively.  Some overworld side quests and events have been restored.  (The Vengeance versions will still be available thru the Vengeance Promoter)

---

 Jobs updated

A handful of jobs have been given updates for the expansion!  Weaponsmith and Armorsmith can take daily quests from their job tutors.  Hero Rank 4 and Hero Rank 5 recipes have been added too!  The daily quests give you items that are used in crafting Hero Rank 4 gear.  The Tutor’s Task quest can be completed a limited number of times per day to obtain Job Points and an item that can be used to craft Hero Rank 5 gear!
The materials used in these recipes have been added to Weapon Tutor Issac’s and Armorer Tutor Cecilio’s offerings in Nightfall Citadel.  The recipes, as well as higher level crafting materials, have been added to the Guild NPC Arms Engineer and the Armorcraft Master.
Alchemist and Scavenger have also received updates!  The recovery power of Alchemist’s instant HP/MP recovery potions has been increased!  Advanced Scavenging has been added to Scavenger Tutor Melanie.  New recipes have been added to the Alchemy Tutor too - Ore decomposition and combination recipes for metal transmutation!  There are also advanced recipes to greatly boost character attributes!

 Additional Improvements

• Log in every day for one chance in the Lucky Beehive lottery!
• Players will be able to use Stone of Awakening at the Stone Gatherer in Nightfall Citadel to trade for an unbound Relic Spirt!
• For every 10 levels of Mastery and Resistances, up to Lv80, you can obtain rewards from Lt. Dan in Nightfall Citadel!
• Strength Guide system: Players can use this feature to learn about their strengths and weaknesses, and choose a path for themselves to work on.  As their strength reaches certain levels, they can obtain special titles!

Stuck on the Log In Screen

I was having trouble logging in. My bypass shortcuts weren't working. Making new ones didn't work. They seemed to be connecting to the Pem - when I opened the file location it went to the pem.exe on my computer. It didn't seem to be the game, it was something on my computer.

I tried restarting, no luck.

I remembered that Avast was asking to run a scan, and I remembered that awhile ago Avast kidnapped my pem.exe and hid it in a quarantine chest. So, I took a look at Avast.

The interface looks different now, but I found the Exclusions area in the General settings.

There were three things listed as exclusions - all pem.exe. I added one of my bypass shortcuts - that did not work. Then I added the game.exe and the patcher.exe.

One of those worked! I can now log into the game and use all my bypass/autolog shortcuts again!

Ascension Teaser 2

from the Forsaken World webpage by Gwaera Tue 14 Mar 2017 10:00:00 AM PDT

The road to Ascension continues this week, with what will easily be the most exciting part of the expansion!  Last week’s installment teased how valuable Bloodline Inheritance would be, this week’s preview reveals why.
Players will definitely want to take advantage of Bloodline Inheritance with the introduction of a new class!!

---

New Class: Warden

Warden is an entirely brand new class being introduced in Forsaken World: Ascension!  The Warden is a sentinel that uses a Sword and Shield as their weapon to both cover their allies and smite their enemies.  This class is available to characters that are Elf Males or Kindred Females.

As a Warden, players will have access to a unique shield interface containing 3 core skills.  These all have 16 second durations and 90 second cooldowns:

Heart of Protection

During this status, sword skills can reduce the target’s attack by a 5% of the caster’s attack.  Shield skills can increase the caster’s Base HP by a 5% per strike.  Stacks up to 5 times.  Increases Base Defense by 10%.

Heart of Piety

During this status, sword skills reduce the target’s healing effect received by 20%.  Shield skills increase your healing effect received by 5% per strike. Stacks up to 5 times.  Increases Base HP by 10%.

Fearless Heart

During this status, sword skills deal additional Light damage equal to 4% of your Base Attack.  Shield skills increase your Light Mastery by 12 per strike. Stacks up to 5 times.  Increases Base Attack by 10%.

A new class brings a variety of new talents!  The 3 exciting trees a Warden can pursue offer a range of play styles:

• Moon Eater - DPS
  • Steal attributes directly from your foes to weaken them while increasing the damage you inflict upon them
  • Uses Light Mastery
• Sun Ray - Tank
  • Become a more resilient Warden by bolstering survivability to be a better protector of your teammates
  • Uses Light Mastery
• Astromancy – Heal/Support
  • Increase your healing effectiveness by using more mana and if all else fails, avert death by becoming temporarily invincible
  • Uses Dark Mastery

We close out this week’s preview with a glimpse at another three of the Wardens’ impressive new skills and abilities:

Fusion Light Blast

A shield skill that attacks targets within 8 meters around you, dealing damage equal to 160% of your Base Attack plus 1163 Attack.  Each layer of Sunlight you have increases the Base Attack by 10%

Astral Nova

A sword skill that strikes four times, dealing damage equal to 110% Base Attack plus 2839 Attack.

Glistening Strike

A shield skill that attacks the target and up to 15 targets within 7 meters around it, dealing damage equal to 115% Base Attack plus 3774 Attack.  Grants a Divine Glory status to yourself that lasts for 15 seconds, increasing Sunlight Bash’s range by 6 meters.

***Disclaimer: All names, effects, and appearances subject to change by release.***

Propel yourself to new glorious heights as the new Warden class in Forsaken World: Ascension!

FH Scenery Quest Locations

These spots can be tricky to find.

Here is one that I have had a lot of trouble with:
