Top Secret

Our ever-diligent Cassandra’s been keeping an eye out for Dual Blades ever since she caught sight of them in her crystal ball. Her secret agents gathered some intel on the mysterious newcomers but nefarious Dual Blade agents stole the documents! Now she needs you to retrieve them.



Help Cassandra recover these sensitive documents and she will generously reward you!



This event can be repeated every 30 minutes so gather as many Secret Reports as you can!




Every Day Double Buff!

Cassandra may not trust them, but the Maple Admin is focused only on welcoming the Dual Blades. After you log in, just talk to Maple Admin to receive a Dark Feather. If you keep it in your inventory for the next 15 minutes, she’ll allow you to choose your Double Buff pleasure.



2x EXP or 2x Drop? You decide!






Dual Blade Disguises

No one knows who’s a Dual Blade for one simple reason – those scary masks they wear! But how do they get those masks can you get one for yourself?


Yes you can! Level up your new Dual Blade between July 21 and August 17, 2010 up to level 100 to receive one of these cool masks.



You’ll get your first mask at level 20 and at every 10 levels you earn from there. If you get a level 30 Dual Blade you can get the level 40 mask first and then all the others after.




Keep Your Enemies Close Event

The only thing scarier than a Dual Blade you can see is the one you can’t. Keep an eye on a Dual Blade by inviting them to your party and going on selected party quests. If you have a Dual Blade in your midst, you’ll earn extra EXP as a reward!

black surfboard?

Looks like everyone can stop wondering about PSBs

2x event sounds promising

black surfboard?

level 45 one.

glad they're thief only. i dont have to worry about making a mule for it.

can't wait to get some rare ores!

Black surfboard?

Seems kinda like the Evan release events to me.

This.

Maybe I don't even care about Thieves getting a bigger boost - at least I don't have to waste my time with levelling up a Dual Blade.

Lol @ surfboards. Sorry guys, no Purple Surfboard. There probably will never be an event which makes them drop. If anything, they'll just come out from Gachapon.

Guess this answers the question about the Masks trade-ability.

Also, the Black Surfboard is the one that looks more red >_>

Have a closer look. The masks are untradeable. Only for Dual Bladers.

I knew there was a reason not to get my hopes up.

TOTALLY missed that. O_o

Even better.

Thus the mass QQing and whining has begun lol
Personally I still had hope that Nexon would change the mask to be similar to the Lilin Ring, but oh well, won't stop people from making "Thorns Mules".

well they kinda did considering you get the first one at 20 and every 10 levels thereafter. so there are 5 masks shown meaning max of level 60 instead of 100?

yay~~ tubes

aw no duck tubes =(

Yay, no more idiots claiming that the masks will be tradeable/transferable.

EDIT: Oh, and I hope we're able to 8x with those 2x bonuses.

^I think those 30 min 2x is a buff.

lol @ Surfboards. I wanted purple but I wasn't hoping/expecting them

I'm surprised no one has mentioned:

How the hell are we supposed to get our characters to lv100 in a month?!!??!
Not all of us can:

-Play enormous hours a day
-Pay for leech / self-leech
-Bot our way there

I was expecting like 6 months similar to Arans..

That would be absolutely delicious.

EDIT: RAR OREZ

It's even more ridiculous since Arans only needed to get to 70. :|
