But heres something u might be interested:

the 25th November: worldwide(tho its called worldwide, its still in chinese..-__-) closed beta for Raising TideBorn Expansion on CN server. That will last 1-2 weeks, Devs will fix bugs and nurf new class etc.

So- -..i think the expansion on PWI will be mid or end December...

1.New map (south area of the map) will be added.

2.New bank system: all charactor from same account and same server will share their bank, which means u can pass some bound or untradable item to your other charactors.

3.Area public quest
What is a Public Quest?

To put it simply, public quests are quests that are completed by all players. When you’re doing normal quests, you won't share the quest progress with others unless you are in a squad. The progress of a public quest is shared by everyone. That means, anyone doing the same quests will influence each others’ progress. Players might be cooperating, or they might be working against you. Together they help to push quest progress onward. Only in these public quests can a player really have the feeling of influencing the live world.

Contributions/Rewards

Public quests break the old way of acquiring and completing quests. A player can participate in the completion of the quest at any time. The rewards from Public Quests are distributed in a unique manner, and they are based on each player’s contribution. The more you have contributed to the quest, the higher grade reward you will get. For public quests, a ranking board will be displayed to let the player know their contribution, as well as ranks and rewards.

As you might have guessed, contribution means how much you have done in a quest. The contribution value is based on your monster kills, quest items collections, and damage inflicted to the boss, etc.

1.exp/spirit
2.wedding memory cards that can trade for items

View new weapon pics here: Fist Claw Sword Spear Axe&hammer Bow Magic Weapon

View boss pics here: new instant boss pic
G15 fist

G15 bow

Which weapon can be upgrade? ( yes / no / not sure)
all mold gears
all TT equipments below lv99
TT99 green weapons
TT99 gold weapons
TT99 armors
TT100 weapons(u cant keep its stats, all stats will be refreshed..)
Rank weapons
Rank armors
Frostcoverd weapons
Frostcoverd armors
Lunar Glaide weapons
Lunar Glaide armors
Old heaven Tears gears
Boots Helms cloaks from aniversary event

Will they release Rank 9?
no, at least in a short time, no.

what do u mean 'upgrade'?

1st Step
upgrade your gear's grade lvl to 15 and upgrade its basic stat to G15
for example ★Neo Pugatory G13 atk 800-1200 → ★XXX Wand G15 900-1350.
the appearance of your weapon will change from this step.(finally...my Neo Pugatory will look better...it looks like a shyt on a stick atm )

Atually, the G15 gears are in an undependent gear system(such as old heaven tear gears), they have thier own name and appearance.
the TT and lunar gears are just considered as one of the materials to craft G15 gear. And the G15 gear has the ability to inherit all additonal stats from the material gear.

2nd Step
upgrade additional stats to G15 stats (I heard that weapons will get atk lvl +20, not sure) ★★XXX Wand
now, u can get set bonus stat from your G15 armors if u have enuf amount of them.

3rd Step (circulative step)
From this step, u can keep refreshing some of the stats on your gear and get a random grade15 stat till it makes u content.
for example: U have chance to get 'advanced berserker' which is better than 'berserker' for your melee weapon.(here is an unreliable version of description: Advanced Berserker: Has a chance to inflict 300%-500% damage at the cost of 5% HP, becomes immune to all negative effects for 4 seconds, but u will loose all your chi instantly.)

And there will be a new kind of stat for G15 armor: inscrease equipment defence by %. With this stat, the G15 armor will have a bit lower basic defence , but it will effectively counteract defence decreasing debuff from skills.

What mats should i pay for the upgrade?
U need 3 kind of stuff to upgrade:
1. your old weapon
2. mats from bosses in new dungeon(2 kind of crystal)
3.transfer stones to keep the refine lvl and sockets(from cashshop)

Is this new dungeon hard?
in this instant, u need too challenge 7 bosses (15 in total, first 3 bosses r fixed, then u need to challenge 4 random bosses from the rest 12).
Please compare this one to the new FrostCoverd city, the difficulty r almost the same.
Dev: The bosses in this dungeon will have more funny skills than those in FC...muahahaaha,prepare to run when boss talks...
Each run will take about 1-1.5 hour for a normal party.
But if u want to upgrade your gear to G15 final form..there will be a long loooooooooooooooooooooooooooong way to go..

The following skill descriptions aint 100% reliable, Devs may edit/delete/add skills after closed/open beta.
