In conjunction with the game's 7th anniversary, TQ Digital has
revealed the 3rd expansion for its world-renowned Kung Fu themed
MMORPG Conquer Online, Legends Return. In
this revolutionary expansion, players can expect an array of new
skills, high grade equipment, new guild wars, gritty dungeons,
intricate quests, a new class (Monk), and much, much more!
According to the schedule, these thrilling features will be
released in 3 seasons throughout 2010, beginning from this
April.
In Season 1: the Shadow of Darkness, players
will be able to experience the prelude of the chaos age. The
notable content of season 1 will include the Sub-Class System, new
dungeons, a new gear system, and new quests.
Sub-Class
System
As the prophecy tells, the legendary
art of Sub-Classes had been accidentally uncovered by thieves.
According to the records, 6 types of Sub-Classes have been
deciphered by the scholars: the Apothecary, the Martial
Artist, the Chi Master, the Warlock, the Sage and the
Performer. Each of these skills can provide its practicers
with the unique bonus state. When adventurers reach level 70, they
can go to the Job Center to study these powerful, ancient arts.

The Apothecary class can grant someone with the knowledge of
herbs and poison, greatly enhancing their tolerance to toxins and
poisons. Once one becomes a Martial Artist, one can achieve the
peak of physical prowess, and increase the chance to deliver
critical strikes during melee battles. On the contrary, the status
of Chi Master can help you perceive the deadly attacks of your
foes, and increases the dodge rate of critical strikes. The Warlock
and the Sage are the symbolic proof of skilled manipulators of
magic and the arcane; the former can increase the chances of
magical critical strikes, while the latter can help its wielder
penetrate an enemies' magical defense. To become a Performer, one
must learn and perfect the exclusive dances of the ancients!
When one learns these Sub-Classes from the Job Center, the path
of their gritty training has only just begun! Each of the
Sub-Classes has 9 phases, the higher phase one achieves, the
greater effect one can receive from their sub-class skills. To
master the higher phases of Sub-Classes, players must first reach
the required levels for their characters, and then accumulate Study
Points by perusing several types of Sub-Class Scrolls obtained from
monsters or quests.
New
Dungeons
As the prophecy of the Sub-Classes is
fulfilled, a formidable demon has broken the seal set by ancient
heroes and returned to the mortal world. Seizing the opportunity
that 2 guardian dragons of Twin City were falling into their
millennial slumber, the demon possessed the twin dragons and remade
the 2 divine creatures into its powerful puppets.
After a ferocious battle with the leaders of the 6 classes in
Twin City, the demon was severely wounded and escaped into the
depths of the Frozen Grotto. In its new nest, the demon proclaimed
itself as the Demon Overlord, and summoned its vicious minions to
construct a legion of darkness. In Season 1 of the expansion,
Floors 3 to 6 of the Frozen Grotto will be open
for adventures to explore and battle against the hordes. In these
new dungeons, players can annihilate the servants of the Demon
Overlord, practice their newfound skills, and work to reach the
source of this mayhem.

Artifact Gear
System
To help combat the legions of darkness, the new Artifact gear
system has been developed by the artisans of Twin City. Utilizing
the fragments of a Dragon Soul, players can purify
their current gear, converting them into Artifacts with incredible
elemental powers! The quality of a Dragon Soul has 10 levels, each
determining the effect of Purification. Players can collect these
precious fragments from bosses scattered in the world of Conquer,
or just defeat the demonic dragon for a high-ranked fragment! Also,
the state of Purification is temporary, and the effect will
disappear when the enchantment wears off. As a by-product of the
Artifact Gear research, the artisans also invented some fascinating
Equipment Accessories which players can use to
decorate their gear!
The 1st Season of Legends Return is set to be released in
Conquer Online this April. The shadow of havoc is looming over Twin
City... Adventurers, get ready to continue your legendary journey
in Conquer Online!
