Azwan
Story
Azwan is an ancient underground city beneath the Nihal Desert. It was recently rediscovered by the Cygnus Knights following the attempt by its leader, Hilla, to usurp Empress Cygnus' throne.
Hundreds of years ago, Azwan was a beautiful and thriving metropolis. One of its chief shamanesses, the beautiful and powerful Hilla, craved more power and betrayed her city to become a commander under the Black Mage, in exchange for eternal power, youth, and beauty. She took control of Azwan and used necromancy to revive its dead population as minions in her army. She lined the city with giant, magical totems to recapture the souls of her fallen forces so they may be reanimated again.
The obelisk that serves as the entrance to Azwan has recently reappeared in the desert and has come under investigation by the Cygnus Knights. Intrepid adventurers can join the fight, leading forces from Ereve in their battle to defeat Hillas army and free the enslaved souls of the citizens of Azwan.
General Info
- If you are Lv.40 or above, select Fight for Azwan from a Dimensional Mirror, located in most towns.
- Characters will be sent to a channel based on their levels.
- There are four level tiers: Lv.40-79, Lv.80-119, Lv.120-159, and Lv.160-200.
- There are four modes: Occupy, Attack, Defend, and Supply.
- The first three modes have four levels of difficulty: Easy, Normal, Hard, and Hell.
- In the first three modes, Cygnus monster minions will spawn to help you.
- Higher difficulty levels feature more powerful monsters in greater numbers, but youll earn more Honor EXP and Azwan coins if you are victorious.
- The strength and number of monsters you face in solo mode are lower than party mode, since you wont have teammates to back you up.
Modes: Occupy and Attack
- These modes focus on a tower assault strategy.
- Stop enemies from progressing left.
- Destroy the Guardian Tower on the right to win.
- If enemies reach the left side, the Guardian Tower will recover HP.
- The Owl Tower drops rocks on you for massive damage. These rocks deal damage without regard to any avoidability or invulnerabilities you might have, so try to take cover while they hover in the air for a moment before dropping.
- The Guardian Tower uses two powerful beam attacks that will deal damage without regard for any avoidability or invulnerabilities you might have.
- You can use your Cygnus minions as shields in this situation; if theyre nearby, theyll take the brunt of the blast instead of you.
- Watch out for stone statues that drop onto the floor as this means the Guardian Tower is about to use its super attack.
- Hilla's Monster Guardian will appear at an altar in Hard and Hell modes to make things more difficult for you.
- Avoid pentacles on the ground when it uses its storm cloud attack.
- There are some differences between the Occupy mode altars and the Attack mode altars:
- Altars in Occupy mode have a wider attack range than the ones in Attack mode.
- Altars in Attack mode have an additional skill that recovers the Guardian Towers HP.
Mode: Defense
- This mode focuses on a tower defense strategy.
- Prevent the Cygnus Faith Stone from being destroyed, or you will lose the round.
- There are two strategies to win: Smash all of the ballistae, or protect the Cygnus Faith Stone until time runs out.
- When you see a message saying that a ballista has appeared, keep a look out for a red dot on the platforms. This is where the ballista will appear.
- You have a limited amount of time to react before a ballista fires a volley. This is shown in a bar that fills up in the HUD that displays how many ballistae are left.
- The ballistae launch faster and do more damage to the Cygnus Faith Stone in higher difficulty levels.
Mode: Supply
- This area functions much like a normal hunting mini dungeon.
- Theres no difficulty option for this mode.
- If you accept the quest for Supply Mode from Longorias, you will see the monsters drop Azwan Supply Boxes if you are in this mode between 2 PM and 8 PM Pacific time.
- Once you collect 100 of the boxes, use the portal within the map to visit Longorias and complete the quest, which is repeatable daily.
Coins and Shops
<ul>You can collect up to 150 coins per day by competing in the various modes.
You can pick up your coins from NPC Woodwan in the Azwan Refuge Zone.
There are two types of coins:
- Conquerors Coins can be obtained by clearing difficultied modes. Theyre the most common Azwan currency. You can also buy 9 of them for 1 Emperors Coin through shop NPC Popodom in the Azwan Refuge Zone.
- Emperors Coins can be obtained by clearing modes in Hard difficulty. Theyre used to purchase rare Azwan items. You can also buy 1 of them for 11 Conquerors Coins through Popodom.
Coins can be exchanged for unique Azwan scrolls, Circulators to randomly change your Inner Abilities, and other items.
Azwan scrolls can raise your equipment stats quicker than regular scrolls, but they cost more upgrade slots to use.
Jean Pierre's wares changes regularly as you rack up victories in Azwan,

Re: v.114 - Renegades: Fight for Azwan Update Notes
I cant believe they actually listened to the forum user for Phantom skill names...like what... who....
I have no words
On a latter note : I wonder what the qualifications are for the Maple BigWig's thing.
Re: v.114 - Renegades: Fight for Azwan Update Notes
I like how half of the bug fixes are text fixes added to make the list look bulky.

Re: v.114 - Renegades: Fight for Azwan Update Notes
Big wig probably equates to who used the most NX in the past couple of days. What other qualifications are there for nexon?
Re: v.114 - Renegades: Fight for Azwan Update Notes
I hope I get that Maple Bigwig thing o-o.
Re: v.114 - Renegades: Fight for Azwan Update Notes

It could be how active you've been in the past few years, or how old your account is. I dont think it would be NX considering most of the stuff isnt OP amazing. Besides they have that other group for that.
Edit : But alas..I guess we will have to wait and see.
Re: v.114 - Renegades: Fight for Azwan Update Notes
I've played for... what? Seven years now and spent $25.
I hope I'm a BigWig!
Re: v.114 - Renegades: Fight for Azwan Update Notes
A slightly better PSB. It's still below lv 100 tho, so I guess I'll stick to my PSB.
Re: v.114 - Renegades: Fight for Azwan Update Notes
Patch notes suck. Nothing really interesting...
As for the "Occupy vs Attack" situation, they make it sound like "Occupy" is the way to go for quick and fast Honor EXP since the Guardian Tower recovers HP in "Attack".

Maybe its Occupy for tanks, and attack for DPSers? from what i read in occupy the tower get some new attack or something no?
Re: v.114 - Renegades: Fight for Azwan Update Notes
So BigWigs get the Maple Coupon (1k Maple Points) and three coupons they can give to their friends, who would then send the You're Great coupons and get 1k Maple Points for each of those, resulting in 4k MaplePoints. Am I right?

Maybe, all I see is "Altars in Occupy mode have a wider attack range than the ones in Attack mode.", nothing about "New attack skill".
Re: v.114 - Renegades: Fight for Azwan Update Notes
No events for renegades coins?! ¬¬
