Patch Notes: December 7, 2011

Christmas is near ~
Happy Holidays everyone. The patchnotes are up and I'm late on mirroring them. You may not be interested to read them anymore because I'm guessing you're familiar with it at this time. But I'll be posting this anyway.

Another bunny band event is released and this time its color Blue. The upgrade exchange list has been tremendously expanded. Most of the high tier exchange items are very great items to have but not worth the exchange because of the possible real life cost. But for an average player like me settling on the lower tier upgrades would still be a good deal. Aim for the +6 or +7 exchange list. They are worth it.

Simbang gabi event is also patch this time but the quest will start on the 14th of December. I never participate on this event because I know that I won't be able to finish this. For patient questers out there, this years reward is a promising one. The first costume headgear can be obtain here. Be the first to use the Costume tab on your character window. For a quick guide on the quest please refer to my Simbang Gabi 2010 post.

Last on the interesting things is the Port Malaya patch! I'm not sure if this will be the official name when it will arrive on our servers. Sounds like we will be receiving this patch first than the rest of the official servers excluding kRO. I'm looking forward on having an adventure on our own map. Read some interesting facts regarding this patch on my Ports of Malaya post.

Hypermart has new items. I think it would be better if you'll read them all after the break.
