Crystal Island, first update

parnassus la2world zone la2

Crystal Island and Crystal Plateau were reworked — these are now hunting zones for lvl 85 chars.

Crystal Island

Hunting zone for solo / party of up to 3. If a char in a party bigger than 3 hits mobs on Crystal Island, a penalty mob Shahram spawns. Pretty much unkilleable, hits extremely hard.

Every 5 minutes all chars on the island get one of 4 random buffs for 2 minutes and get flagged PvP.

  • Power of Parnassus – Boosts P.Atk / M.Atk.
  • Defence of Parnassus – Boosts P.Def / M.Def.
  • Power of Parnassus – Boosts Atk. Spd, Casting Spd and Speed.
  • Doomof Parnassus – Boosts PvP damage dealt.

Wizard Grollo

While farming mobs, the char who lands the killing blow can get a Strange Essence. Once a day (resets at 00:00 MSK) you can trade 22 Essences to Grollo for a container with items.

Wizard Grollo hides:

  • Not far from where you enter Crystal Island.
  • Near merchant D’nar.
  • Next to the entrance to Parnassus Mansion.

The container can drop:

  • Coin of Evil
  • Potion of Lilith Anger
  • Potion of Lilith Wisdom
  • Potion of Obscurity
  • Giant’s Codex – Mastery
  • Top-Grade Life Stone – Level 86
  • Accessory Type Life Stone – Level 86
  • Scroll of Armor Improvement
  • Withered Necklace of Valakas
  • Witherd Earring of Antharas
  • Bracelet of Revenge

Merchant D’nar

Merchant D'nar NPC shop L2

At D’nar you can buy stuff for Coins of Evil and exchange armor into rare with Scrolls of Armor Improvement. He also starts the quest chain for Restored Soul of Darkness.

Fast way to him: take the portal next to the TP to the island.

Restored Soul of Darkness

Needed for the Ritual of Desecration. Quest chain starts at D’nar; your char must have a Bracelet of Dawn in inventory to begin.

Talk to D’nar, ask about Restored Soul of Darkness. He’ll want 1000 Corrupted Soul Shards — farm any mobs on Crystal Island until you have a thousand.

Once you’re done, go back to D’nar, ask about the Soul again. He takes the shards and wants 20 scales from Dark Sphere Dragons. 1 dragon = 1 scale, so you need 20 dragons. There are only two dragons on the island, they respawn in 15 minutes and teleport to a random player on the island.

After 20 scales — back to D’nar, ask about the Soul. He takes the scales and sends you for Fire, Water and Dark Soul fragments.

You get them from three RBs — Mashur, Uniello and Zerath. Check locations on the map under Raids. You don’t need to kill the bosses — just land 1 hit with Essence Absorber. Once you have all 3 fragments, return to D’nar and trade them for the soul.

Parnassus Mansion

Parnassus Mansion la2world

Capturable clan holding. You can own Parnassus alongside a castle and a clan hall. Chars not in the clan that owns the Mansion can enter its territory only during siege.

The clan that owns Parnassus gets:

  • Can activate Authority of Parnassus — 5% of Adena and Coins of Evil farmed from mobs on Crystal Island and Crystal Plateau go into clan warehouse. Drop for clan members is +10% (also applies to new craft mats).
  • Teleport system.
  • Parnassus Merchant. Sells consumables at a discount, and Scrolls of Armor Improvement periodically show up in the shop, plus 
  • On death on Crystal Island you can revive at Parnassus by clicking To Clan Hall (the option shows up even if the clan has no clan hall. If the clan does have a clan hall, To Clan Hall on Crystal Island still revives the char at Parnassus).

Capture

Evoke RB Parnassus gate guardianTwo stages. First you kill the Parnassus Guardian Evoke — he stands on the bridge leading to the mansion.
The Guardian deals AoE dmg split evenly between all nearby players (unless they’re in the clan that owns Parnassus), and also shoots a random target — the farther they are, the more dmg they take.
You need a healer and at least 5 people.
When the Guardian dies, Parnassus goes into siege for 30 minutes.
Teleport system shuts off, and members of the owning clan revive at a special spot (same as castle siege).
Evoke respawns in 8 hours.

Heart of Parnassus la2world
 
2 minutes after the Guardian dies, the Heart of Parnassus spawns — you have to destroy it.
The clan that deals the most dmg to the Heart takes the Mansion.
If the Heart of Parnassus isn’t destroyed within 30 minutes of Evoke’s death, ownership doesn’t change.

Mobs

All mobs in the zone drop a special currency — Coins of Evil. You can spend them at merchant D’nar and at the merchant in Parnassus Mansion.

All mobs in this zone are social and aggressive. For safer travel around the island, buy a Potion of Obscurity from D’nar.

Resources

New craft mats spawn all over the island. Reward from them is 10x compared to normal (11x for members of the clan that owns Parnassus, if Authority of Parnassus is active).

When you hit a resource, nearby mobs defend it and the char gets flagged PvP.

Raid Bosses

Locations of all Raid Bosses are on the in-game map under Raids.
