Pretty self-explanatory poll.

We'd like to know how you like to get your free Jaden?

Currently, you can vote on two different useless websites and get some free Jaden from it, most of the time it works. You also usually receive free Jaden online in-game.

We could migrate all free Jaden rewards to online-only, or go back to voting only.

We could also potentially find some way to use the web lotto system, making it so you wouldn't always receive Jaden rewards, but maybe instead some other useful in-game item(s). Something like a daily lotto could replace the voting rewards. This would require you to log into the website daily as voting does. Online Jaden would require you to stay logged in-game.

So, what does everybody think? What's your favorite way to receive daily rewards?

What a year it has been...  My year didn't go as planned, I don't know about yours.

Hoping 2021 can be everything 2020 was supposed to be.

We're kicking off the year with a new patch. Honestly, most of these notes were written a while ago and it is new year's eve now. There's lots missing and some that might not even be correct. I will update these notes tomorrow and clean up any mistakes. I will update this post when it's done.

        -Originally I had planned to have a one-day exchange on Jan 1st, 2020 for one custom thing or something in the Dancing Youth Gift Pack. This will still happen, just now it will be on Jan. 3rd, 2021. So you have a short warning, that wasn't how it was supposed to be but that's ok.

    -Charge Rewards have finally returned. Vote, stay online, or buy Jaden to increase your Charge points!
         - I honestly don't remember well what I did here. When we originally patched Starfall in 2019 or 2018 we had left official charge rewards. I simply didn't know they existed, lol. So, we've put those back because honestly, it was unfair that some people got those rewards and others didn't. So you can get Overpower title and so on now for fairly cheap.
         - We've also added multiple items in the exchange and rewards section. I know lots of people will ask about the cost of the Omened seal reward, it is at 150k. So, get voting! Voting for the server and purchasing Jaden are the only ways to earn "present" points.

    -Dream Journal Exchange
        -It looks like I added shards here. I don't remember what else is changed, but we did update it!

    -Added Icespike Fashion for Kytos Sprite.

-Pig Year Event

   - You've been collecting Pig Year's Blessings for over a year now, and it's finally time to cash them in. Go to Tcholok NPC or Recycling Center and get yourself one of the items for opening the packs spawned by the Pig NPC in Old Sunstream.

   - There are 3 options.

      - Pig Year Fortune (1 Pig Year's Blessing)

      - Awards one of the following:

         - 1 Pig Year's Blessing

-Rates are equal amongst most items, but the Flux Sigil, Omened Seal, Bodhi Seed, and Fate Blood's set are quite rare. That said, the rate compared to the cost makes it so the rate is close to the same between all 3 packs for these 4 items, it all comes down to how much time you want to spend on the event and how many Pig Year's Blessings you have, and of course, luck.

      - Pig Year Luck (100 Pig Year's Blessings)

      - Awards one of the following:

         - Multi-millionaire pack (10m gold)

-All items have a close to equal chance of dropping in this pack.


Basically, these notes are better than no notes. I will update them very soon and make them more accurate and complete.

Patch 71

Another quick patch for you guys.

Fate gears were not correctly working for Skysong, Lupin, Jadeon, and Vim. This has been resolved.

You were unable to use skills on the final boss in Clouded. This has been resolved.

Voida Endless Fiction gears had the incorrect models. This has been resolved.

Astral Dew was set with incorrect settings in the Courage Vendor. This has been resolved.

With a number like 69 you'd hope there was a lot more going on, right?

Unfortunately, this was just a quick patch to fix any daylight savings time issue that may have come up.

While the server was down, we fixed the Clouded drops. They should drop now and you should be able to obtain Fate Gears now.

We were quiet for Sept. and Oct. due to real-life commitments outside of MD. Not a lot got done, unfortunately. While I'm not about to commit to weekly patches, this month will see some of the planned content released.

Patches may be really small from now on. Honestly, I think it's better if we push something small than nothing at all. I think most of you agree. I've been stubborn about trying to make big elaborate patches that make up for the amount of time between them. This is an endless loop and it sucks.

So, we're going to just patch stuff as it's done. You might think a patch sucks or is tiny or whatever, I don't care. We're not going to worry about that. We're going to keep on keeping on through 2020 and beyond.

Expect more frequent, smaller, patches. Some days may even see multiple patches.

We had a restart on Sunday, so we didn't perform a restart on Tuesday. There also wasn't a patch this week, but there will be one next week on Tuesday, April 9th.

I'll update this post on the weekend with a planned time and some notes about what you can expect to see in Patch 62.

This is our first weekly patch. We've decided that we'll begin having weekly maintenance on Tuesdays, and if there is any content ready to apply in a patch, then it will be applied while down.

Administration:
-Recently, we performed our first character transfer. Right now we're doing this on a case by case basis. If you, for some reason, believe you need this service. Contact us in our ticket support system for more information and a quote.
-Custom Title Purchase has returned! You can pick your own color and text. I don't know the maximum length but I'll find out for you soon! Soon, you will be issued one free revision, just in case the title doesn't look the way you want it to.
-All previously purchased Custom Titles will be issued a free revision soon. Custom title price has not changed, but the method of delivery has. We have built a new system that will speed up delivery and improve tracking of the Custom Title you order.
-Soon, we will begin to issue custom titles with backgrounds and art like this one: .
-Multiple changes to the website including improved mail logs, event system changes, and preparation for new features.
-More sale functions added to website.
-Fixed issue with email confirmation for changing email address.
-Banana Coupons have been added to the Banana Shop in denominations of 150, 250, 500, and 1000.

Events:
-Daily Sign-in Rewards will restart again on the 21st at 00:00. The rewards have not changed, but the cost for late sign-in has been reduced from 420 Jaden to 50 Jaden.
-The automated PvP events were temporarily moved to Billows, and will soon be moved to Doom Bog as suggested. Thank you for your continued feedback while we improve this feature.
-You can now port to the Clouded Kunlun map from most Skylords.
-There is now an item in the marketplace called "Clouded Kunlun Charm" that costs 1 Jaden, when used it will port you directly to the Monkey PvP map on the realm you're on.


Drops:
-Significant changes were made to the drop rates and drop lists for the mobs. There were too many items being dropped to pick up and this resulted in many items left on the ground spread across the server. Most of the items were available via marketplace or otherwise unnecessary for drops so they have been removed from drop lists and the drop rates have been recalibrated to make it more likely that you can pick up all the items before the next set of mobs arrives.
-Overlord of Chaos has a new custom drop list. All Elysium bosses are undergoing continued changes to their drop lists.
-God of Rain's drop lists have been edited with improved drops.
-You will now receive greatly increased Star Soul XP in Garro.

Marketplace:
-The marketplace has been re-organized to prepare for new items that will be added in future patches. Hopefully, this will also help make it easier to navigate the marketplace.
-The "New" section will now be used for items that have been added to the marketplace within the last month.
-The "Promo" section will now carry weekly promos on various items in the marketplace. As we will be restarting the server weekly, we will also be making minor changes to the marketplace as well.
-The "Remedy" section has been moved to the "Item" section. A subsection has been created for all health, spirit, and vigor remedies.
-A new section has been added. "Character" will contain most character related items.
-Affinity Bead has been added to the "Affinity" subsection found under "Character".
-The "Fashion" section has been renamed to "Cosmetic" and the "Smiley" subsection has been moved into the "Cosmetic" section.
-The Goat fashion has returned. You can find it under "Cosmetic">"Set".
-Monkey Drops and Monkey Flask has returned! Monkey Drops heal 3x the amount that Celestial Health Orbs do on first healing, and then 6x their amount on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th. Monkey Flask does the same for Spirit recovery. They can be found at "item">"Remedy".
-The "VIP" subsection has moved from the "Item" section to the "Popular" section with the other packs.
-Items that can be purchased in bulk will be found on the "Popular">"Bulk Item" section. These items will have bonus reward items when you purchase.
-The "Material" section has been renamed to "Esper/Soul" and contains all items related to "Esper", "Soul Card", "SoulStone", and "Soul Star" that are currently added to the marketplace. Some of these sections will be added on future patches with new items that are released in upcoming patches.
-Anan and Bilu pets have been readded to the marketplace.
-Ink Horse has returned to the "Mount" section.
-Ballie Smiley was added (May not work yet)
-Wine of Wisdom and HP equivalent were removed from the marketplace due to uselessness.
-Celestial Spirit Dew and Celestial Health Orb were reduced from 1 Jaden to .5 Jaden in Marketplace.
-Added Clouded Kunlun Charm to the marketplace.

Instance:
-BL or EL can now be done twice a day, or once each.
-Level 9 EL does not award level 5 books anymore, only level 6. Also, it does not reward level 4 or 5 Reforge items, only level 6. Rates from lower rate items have been converted into the rate for the higher level items. This currently only applies to level 9 EL, so far.
