New Summoning Magic and Quests

The thrilling climax to Chains of Promathia was finally reached in the July version update. Now delve deeper into the stories of prominent Chains of Promathia characters as you enjoy the new quests planned for release in December.

-New Summoning Magic

The quest to obtain an avatar long awaited by summoners will soon be available. The terrestrial avatar Diabolos made his first appearance in "Darkness Named," and now those able to defeat him at the height of his strength will learn to harness the power of dreams.

The Blood Pact abilities of Diabolos are quite unique when compared to those of other avatars. We have provided a list of Diabolos's abilities with brief explanations; however, we would like to allow summoners the chance to discover the full scope of these powers on their own.

-Diabolos's Blood Pact Abilities

Camisado: Deals physical damage.
Somnolence: Weighs target down.
Nightmare: Deals darkness elemental damage that puts all enemies within the area of effect to sleep and gradually reduces their HP.
Ultimate Terror: Decreases attributes of enemies within area of effect.
Noctoshield: Gives party members within area of effect the effect of "Phalanx."
Dream Shroud: Enhances magic attack and magic defense of party members within area of effect.
Nether Blast: Delivers a ranged attack that deals darkness elemental damage.
Ruinous Omen (Astral Flow): Required MP: Caster's level x2. Uses all MP and reduces the HP of enemies within area of effect by a random percentage.

-New Quest

A new quest that brings players up against the might of the Wyrmking Bahamut will be introduced. The ruler of all dragonkind has previously only appeared in Chains of Promathia mission event scenes, but in the upcoming version update, adventurers will come face to face with Bahamut on the field of battle.

*These quests can only be undertaken after progressing past a certain point in the Chains of Promathia story. Also, the key items and normal items required for the quests "Mama Mia" and "The Moonlit Path" will not be affected by the introduction of the avatar Diabolos.

In addition to those mentioned above, several more quests are scheduled for release in the upcoming version update, so be sure to check the Topics section regularly for the latest details!

Bout time. :P

Diabolos' abilites seem somewhat like Fenrir's, as in they are more based around raising and lowering stats as opposed to any sort of elemental buff or damage.

Something that caught my eye, however, is that Diabolos' Level 70 Blood Pact is a RANGED attack. That should be interesting for kited mobs. No more "The Monster is too far away." messages.

Hmm, I guess I better do Tuning In and Tuning Out, and pretty damn quickly.

Thinking about those abilities a little harder...

Ruinous Omen sounds waaaaay overpowered, lol. Imagine knocking a huge chunk of damage from Kirin in one blow because the damage is based upon % as opposed to damage points.

Sure, it will probably have a resist rate of some kind due to Kirin's high level, but, imagine throwing in a Darkness skillchain with 3-4 of those things Magic Bursting that attack.

Dream Shroud - Enhances Magic Attack? Might black mages suddenly demand a summoner for their party? Interesting.

Noctoshield - AoE Phalanx? Tank party says hi.

Nightmare - Thinking about it, this really would be "your worst nightmare" when it comes to Ballista, lol. AoE damage, puts you to sleep (poison doesn't wake you up) and then drains HP on top of that?? Ouch, seriously.[/b]

Anyone who's fought against Diablos remembers this attack I'm sure, its freakin' beastly.

EDIT: (weird stuff on Vana'diel wind right now, its from the point of view of a GM, totally invisible watching people level in Saruta)

if they added diabolos this patch that means its almost indefinate they'll add bahamut.
The battle looks hard though should be interesting.
And for percentage, it could easily be something like 0.05 % and still do around 500 damage. Who knows.

Omgz. In the Tuniing Out quest, the Taru mentions that the Mithra went to the Northlands in search of another sleeping god, and he made it clear that it was not Fe'Yin. Can you say Pso'Jxa! Gonna finish Tuning Out tonite. Already got my peppers.

Today is the actual update. I highly doubt that they would have a 29MB download for PC users for just a normal Maintenance. ^^
