WildPotato back in ECO as ｎｉｎｇｙｏｕ!

It's been a long, long time since the last time I've played ECO. So long, in fact, that my characters were gone by the time I logged in (though that may have been a result of requesting my ID and password info).

But now, I'm back!!

Say hello to the fabulous new Ningyou-chan!

This time around, I decided to go a different route and make Ningyou-chan a swordsman. Rather than keep her chained as a slave to the support of others, I wanted to let her be able to take the blade of fate in her own hands! Literally.

Short guides to new (to us) June Bride events

Urgh... I have no excuses >_>

For anyone who still haven't tried the new June Bride events, here's the guide. Hope it's not too late....

Link to the remaining parts of the tutorial (Temporary)

Eh, I admit I lack the motivation to write anything these days >_>

Anyway, here are the links to the remaining parts of the tutorial, the ones that I wrote in gate00 and has yet covered in proper blog posts. The forum loads really slow sometimes, but this will have to suffice until I feel the urge to carry on again.

New pose in ECO and new system 'Tama'

So today's update includes a new system called Tama /o/ and the update includes a series of new pose for players in ECO which based on the Bakka Rangers pose. We had fun with it at first then it turned out like this...

Ba-Bakka Rangers!

And then things just got weirder =w=;;

And Yoshi doing some funny dance over there

And weirder...

What is this I don't even...

Anyways, a brief look into the new system implemented, the system named Tama or Heart (Not to be confused with H.E.Art), allow players to borrow 'heart' or in other words, character status of other players and add them as their own, you can register your character to lend out to other players, it's a system which closely resembles the possession (with spirit skill) system but without needing to have someone to possess you.

The service is available in north of downtown located next to Astrologer's House, talk to the NPC on the left to access to the Tama system. 

-The first option (Sorry I can't type in JP =w=;) allows you to select available status to add into your own

-Second option allows you to register your 'Tama' then will be made available to others

-Third option explains the system itself

List of available heart on rent

Each tab list down the names and class of characters which divided into FI (Fighter), SU (Spelluser), BP (Backpacker), NV/JK (Novice/Joker), and DEM, by selecting one class, players can gain bonus stats from that class. F.e: FI gives HP bonus, P.atk, S.hit and P.def, whereas SU gives MP bonus, M.atk, L.hit and M.def .

List of status bonus from FI class

Players can see list of hearts close to their level range (-lv4 ~ +lv4), any higher or lower level can be shown by adjusting the level range in the input box, and level also determine the amount of bonus status you can receive (Note that regardless of the haxness of your character, all bonus given will be the same as other character of the same level). However, players can only borrow one heart at a time (IM allows you to rent your Tama up to 4 person at a time, with each additional slot cost 2,000 IM Points). After selecting one Tama and paying 100g for the rent, the effect last for 48 hours, one can check Tama's duration by double clicking on the Blue Flame Spirit icon on screen (1st option, 2nd option to remove the Tama) and hearts can be changed at will with the same NPC.

Side notes: This system works with Iris card system and possession system but not with PVP mode or Knight Training. Service is also accessible from Resurrection warrior and Butterfly NPC. Registered names will expire after 7 days.

Short guides to new (to us) Children's Day events

Sorry for the wait! Similar to the previous post on Ohanami, here's a short walkthrough for the events added in 2012 and 2013.

Tutorial Guides: Entry #4d

⇐ Tutorial 1 Part 3: 職業選択の自由
Tutorial 1 Part 5: 師弟とは？⇒

So you want like to collect items, turn them into useful products and then wear them with pride or sell them for profit? That's roughly what a Backpacker is, thought "turn them into useful products" part is more applicable to the Tatarabe and the Farmer than the Ranger or Merchant. But whatever.

In any case, to become a Backpacker, the procedure is actually very simple:

1. Talk to the guildmaster.
2. For Tatarabe, Farmers and Rangers, you'll be asked to bring an item to the guildmaster. For Merchants, you'll be running errands between Uptown and Downtown.
3. Report back to the guildmaster.
4. Affirm that you are ready for job change. You must be absolutely naked for this step. If not, you'll be asked to strip before speaking to the guildmaster again.
5. Voila! You're one of us now, fuhuhuhuhuhu~
6. Re-equip yourself and talk to the guildmaster for a small gift.

Unlike Fighters and Spellusers, becoming a Backpacker has no stat pre-requisites. Emils do get an early advantage over the other races though, as most of the backpacks available can only be equipped by them (those that come with the lv 99 2nd job armors and the 3rd job armors don't have this disadvantage though).

To make things simpler, I have stripped my characters before reporting, so that I can complete the Job Change in one smooth flow after the report. Whether you want to do the same or not is up to you =3.

Note: Remember to report back to Joker Bro after you're done changing your Job. In fact, the system will remind you again when you're leaving the Guild Palace or either Cathedral after your Job Change before teleporting you to DT. After your report, Joker Bro will gift you with a Base Experience Enhancer 50 (Beginner) (経験値ふえ～る 50 （ビギナー)) and a Tiny's Secret Storage Technique (Beginner) (タイニー秘伝収納術（ビギナー)).

Introducing me

Wassup guys /o/

Since this is my first post on Colorful Acronia, I ought introduce myself properly, the name's Rucio but feel free to call me Ruci, it's been over 4 months since I started ECOjp as a result of a kidnapping done on me, long history made short I started playing Emil Chronicle Online back in mid 2010 after watching my bro Kinni playing ECO in RunUp server, little did we know that we would end up playing in 3 different servers. o3o;

Though all the server migrating is wearing me out having to start all over again, somehow it's hard to quit ECO, I mean it's really fun to play ECO and that ECO is the first MMO I actually play and spend time with, it's really appealing, graphics never seem to get old despite it being a nearly 8 year old MMO.

I've have always picked the same class for 3 Ruci generations, the Fencer class. \o\

Now in ECO Japan, Rucio is a soon-to-be Lv110 Guardian, and below is a screenshot of him driving his car,

Rucio driving his toddler car

So far I have 4 characters in Zinnia server, including Rucio, his older twin sister Rucia, a cardinal now, Ina the Maestro and Gertrude, a Trader. I wanted to remake my other characters but time oh time...

Anyways, although it's a Japanese server, to be honest it didn't take me long to get used to the server, probably because I previously played Phantasy Star Online 2 before coming over to ECO, and I must say the Japanese are a very friendly lot.

(ノ・ω・)ノ They wouldn't mind having foreigners around so long one do not cause trouble.

After coming over to JP server, I'm glad that my old buddy Yoshi has decided to play ECO with me, and along with my other buddies Ninz, Jun, Rene and my bro Kinni, sadly they've been very busy lately, but I hoped they can have the time to play with us again just like the good ol'days. \o\

Ok that's all for the introductions, hopefully I did not bore you with my story, good day everyone!
