Something tells me that the Fire Tusk's Monster Book entry is going to have the "over 9000" joke if it gets one.
New iTCG Set 4 info - Erich - 2008-08-09
hmm, I forgot that, all origin areas are in monster book. wonder what CW keep is gonna be like that :O
New iTCG Set 4 info - IsaacGS - 2008-08-09
I'm willing to call this legit as well, these cards are quite proof enough. Still, I wonder why the Wizards guy said 90 cards? O_O

What do you guys think about the "Stirge-on-a-string"? Batarang analogue? Throwing star? One hand sword that works in a way similar to the way the 1h sword whips work?
And for the comments on posts I missed:
Coke town could be easily made worthwhile by changing the stats. It could also be expanded upon and/or adapted into Masteria.
When an area is terrible, there are really only two reasons for it. Too far out of the way (like Omega Sector), or the stats of enemies aren't worthwhile enough. They can make Coke Town worthwhile just by making the exp from the monsters actually worth fighting (or by including great drops), and making it accessible enough to people in the right level range. Either way, it's all meta, and EASILY changeable to be made to be good.
One of the Versalmas mouse's reindeer was named "Pwnzor". They're obviously computer nerds working on this stuff, so it's not all that surprising things would slip into lore. I wouldn't even be surprised to see references to popular memes, like including the phrase "over 9000!" in a NPC dialogue, or maybe a NPC that says "Madness? This is KRAKIA".
Stirge on a string: Grappling hook?
As for Coke Town, there's no need to add it to Masteria. For one, it'd cheapen what they've been striving so hard to build. For two, it's already 100% permanent in KMS and exists in that netherworld of easy reach from anywhere just like Happyville or KMS Amoria.
hmm, interesting stuff. I am willing to believe T-1337 even if I think it's a little dumb, however I agree that Stirgeman is pretty clever. I get the feeling though that he is gonna be pretty goofy. Stirges are especially appropriate because they already wear masks. XD
btw, this center card:
![[Image: MS4Card.jpg]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v617/derranged/MS4Card.jpg)
It has Spider Venom Earrings on it! These earrings, if you don't know, were added to the data in the first NLC patch and have still yet to be released. They're level 15 and don't have particularly special stats, but it's interesting to see that they're on there.

hmm, I got another idea for something stirgeman related- bat(or stirge)throwing stars. in batman, he throws things shaped like bats

New iTCG Set 4 info - Erich - 2008-08-09
true, but it literally can be a stirge on a string-as in like the cat and dog weapons

only me is thinking about the MOB?

]if you get my point, stirgeman is a maple-dracula. yay.
New iTCG Set 4 info - bored4ever86 - 2008-08-09
if you read the text on that code card then you'll see stirge on a string and stirgeman cape..... hmmmm
aww beaten to it

lol.. but but but..
dracula = stirgeman in maple!
they never said this is a part of karkia. you can't proof this is about the hype of batman :>
btw, about the center card in the scanned cards- what's that earring on the head of the girl, left to the jr. reaper? i don't think i ever seen it before..
Edit:
another thing i was about to talk but forgot
do you think that the karkians are gonna be something with a lot 1337 and ROFLMAO and all those things that you can find in average-blogs are gonna be the idea behind the karkia's expansion?

Lost: Superhero gear - grappling hook whip, cape, and one pair of utility pants. Reward possible. Contact Stirgeman
Superhero gear. So, stirge on a string DOES sound like it's a whip-type weapon, cape is obvious for a superhero, and utility pants, which is interesting because it will be weird to have pants without a matching top. XD
It sounds to me like this set will be similar to set 1, in that there will be two forging NPCs as opposed to just one. One being Ridley's statue in Crimsonwood, and the other being Stirgeman in NLC.
New iTCG Set 4 info - Five Second Pose - 2008-08-09
Sounds like a quest you can only finish by buying the cards. Looks like the Mansion all over again. I was looking forward to Krakia, I sincerely hope I'm wrong.

I was looking forward to Krakia, I sincerely hope I'm wrong.How do you figure that? The only thing mentioned on here which could even possibly be related to Krakia is the Robot, and as far as we know there are no items related to this robot. Though in some cases (like for Crimsonwood) I'd like for the quests to at least acknowledge that you're in possession of certain TCG items, I doubt that nexon will do that.
And naturally if there is any important info from TCG set 4 I'm gonna have it in my thread for all to see. :p
New iTCG Set 4 info - Erich - 2008-08-09
this is so interesting, I might just have to buy a few packs and come back to global :O

Well, if Stirgeman's in Krakia, and you can only get his lost equips from TCG codes... maybe it's a foreshadow? Or maybe I'm just being a pessimist. xD

No, I'm fairly certain that he will be at the top of either Affluent tower or Bigger ben in NLC, standing in some dramatic pose.
New iTCG Set 4 info - randompeep - 2008-08-09
Did anyone post this?
Iron Man -> Mithril Man
or some other metal(Adamantium, Steel, Bronze, Orihalcron, Silver,or Gold).
someone from Krakia, most likely. Where else can you get a metal suit that flys?

Those are those equips from Vineland, right? OMG, if they have CWK, Krakia, and Vineland in one patch, then maybe that can justify why they're taking so long.
off-topic: the Athena Pierce ability owns! XD
