v.154 – Sword Art Online Update Notes

It's a beginner skill

You may have also receive Echo of Hero. My BWs seemed to get that somewhere between 100 and 130.

I did the level 120(?) Cygnus Knights quest that gave the Empress an upgrade recently. Shinsoo said they gave me something, which I assume was only the Call of Cygnus skill and nothing else? Shinsoo's dialog during the quest said something about an element-related thing not being needed, I think? While looking up the quest online, there would be another skill given called Elemental Expert, is that skill no more or something?

It seems that skill was removed, as "Fire of Creation" gives you 100% elemental reset now

Ah so Fire of Creation was probably what Shinsoo was talking about, thanks! I'm going to have to pay attention when I get my WA up there.

Oh and I have Echo of Hero too (now!?), definitely going to have to pay attention next time.

Do Cygnus knights not get a MW-esque skill? (Is this what the last few posts are about?)
Just realized my BW doesn't have it. Does it need to be unlocked or something? Kind of like Hero's will. Except I don't even know if they can get Hero's will haha

Looks like Call of Cygnus does that, MP costs: x All stats: y Duration: z

That's not in the skill list in the update notes, which is why I was confused. It's a quest from one of the NPCs in ereve? I'll check it out when I get back.

Just a friendly reminder, the sylph ring event starts tomorrow.

Mystic Gates start this weekend as well.

Doesn't it start tomorrow too? (in 18 minutes actually)

It being part of the patch maybe (though the doors/maps appeared in the BW/SAO patch), but I don't think the actual event is.

Mystic Gate

Every weekend during September 24 - October 25

So the the event "starts" today, the bosses don't actually spawn outside of the weekends.

Skill Voice Volume

In the System Options, you can now adjust the volume of the character's voice when performing certain skills.
This can be done by adjusting the Skills slider beneath SFX or by checking the "Mute" box.

wow just noticed this. yay awesome!

now i won't disturb everyone in the house with the screams and random yelling

Looks like the box open count for the last time the Mystic Gate event was around, is still in their servers. So it makes getting the 200 box medal a little less aggravating when this only runs during weekends now...

The mystic gate event is just impossible. In Bello, I change channels and enter the portal right when the notice pops up and the boss is already dead...

Did they even update the bosses to match up with the damage cap increase?.. if they still have 2.1bil HP then it's no wonder they're dying in seconds.

Except the count that pops up in chat says I've opened 859 boxes, and it's not giving me either of the box opening medals. I still have the old set of 6 in my medal list, and it gave me the new Mystic Gate Master just by turning in a quest, but I'm still missing both of the Mystic Field medals.

I'm pretty sure Mystic Field=Mystic Gate because I saw someone earlier that had just acquired the Researcher medal, and it has the exact same name and stats as the first Researcher medal in my Collections. Which would also explain why I didn't receive a quest for the "Mystic Field Researcher" medal.

Same here.

Mystic Von Leon's Nightmare: Medal, Req. Lv. 75, STR +10; Weapon ATT +2, Magic ATT +2
Mystic Arkarium's Nightmare: Medal, Req. Lv. 75, INT +10; Weapon ATT +2, Magic ATT +2
Mystic Hilla's Nightmare: Medal, Req. Lv. 75, DEX +10; Weapon ATT +2, Magic ATT +2
Mystic Zakum's Nightmare: Medal, Req. Lv. 75, LUK +10; Weapon ATT +2, Magic ATT +2
Mystic Horntail's Nightmare: Medal, Req. Lv. 75, Max HP/MP +500, Weapon ATT +2, Magic ATT +2
Mystic Gate Master: Medal, Req. Lv. 100, All Stats +10, ATT / MATT +4, Untradeable

Open 100 or more random gift boxes - Mystic Field Researcher: Medal, Req. Lv. 75; STR +5, DEX +5, INT +5, LUK +5, Weapon ATT +3, Magic ATT +3.
Open 200 or more random gift boxes - Mystic Field Master: Medal, Req. Lv. 100, STR +10, DEX +10, INT +10, LUK +10, Weapon ATT +4, Magic ATT +4

But then if Mystic Field=Mystic Gate, then Mystic Gate/Field Master is just listed twice for no apparent reason?

EDIT: It may actually be a possibility, as I just looked at the patch notes for the first time we got this event:

[Silent Crusade] Mystic Field Researcher - Use items obtained from Mystic Bosses 100 times to earn Mystic Gate Researcher Medal.

Same here.

Mystic Von Leon's Nightmare: Medal, Req. Lv. 75, STR +10; Weapon ATT +2, Magic ATT +2

Mystic Horntail's Nightmare: Medal, Req. Lv. 75, Max HP/MP +500, Weapon ATT +2, Magic ATT +2
Mystic Gate Master: Medal, Req. Lv. 100, All Stats +10, ATT / MATT +4, Untradeable

Open 100 or more random gift boxes - Mystic Field Researcher: Medal, Req. Lv. 75; STR +5, DEX +5, INT +5, LUK +5, Weapon ATT +3, Magic ATT +3.
Open 200 or more random gift boxes - Mystic Field Master: Medal, Req. Lv. 100, STR +10, DEX +10, INT +10, LUK +10, Weapon ATT +4, Magic ATT +4

Nexon and proofreading their Patch Notes do not go hand in hand.

Did they even update the bosses to match up with the damage cap increase?.. if they still have 2.1bil HP then it's no wonder they're dying in seconds.

Nope, they didn't. They're exactly the same as before.
As much as I hated the Unleashed boss HP increases, I still think that Nexon should have increased the HP of these bosses.
