Vanguard players will have a chance to test out new character classes on the test server. All races will see new classes come into the game. Check out what's on the way:

Some races can now be classes they were not able to be before.

Thestra

Halfling Paladin - The humans of Tursh have helped train the Halflings in the ways of the Paladin.

Dwarf Ranger - A human scout contingent was summoned by the king to train their soldiers in the techniques of the Ranger in preparation of an impending threat.

Vulmane Monk - Ancient spirits of the land have shared the knowledge of the use of Jin and the technique of utilizing it with their descendants.

Kojan

Raki Bard - As the Raki have become more attuned to the world of Telon, they have developed a way of incorporating their musical abilities in combat.

Goblin Dreadknight - Due to the impending war with Gulgrethor and the latest threat of the Ulvari, the Orcs have started to train young goblins in the way of dread.

Goblin Ranger - As Martok seeks to explore or advance their power, the goblins have become the front line for scouting and have increased their knowledge of survival techniques.

Orc Rogue - In exchange for the knowledge the Orcs have shared, the Goblins have trained the Orcs of espionage and assassination.

Qalia

Dark Elf Ranger - In an attempt to further spread their influence, the Dark Elves have taken on the mantle of learning the ways of desert survival and scouting.

Kurashasa Bloodmage - Further developing the inherent relationship between the symbiote and the host has awakened their innate mastery of symbiotic behavior.

Mordebi Necromancer - The Mordebi have unlocked the ancient power of their ancestors through research and experimentation of the undead.

Fishing

To begin fishing:

* Go see Tien Hou in Tanvu. He is located near the Lobster faction mounts on the docks, and provides the tutorial for fishing as well as the pole and ability for it.

Fishing basics:

* Equip a fishing pole in the primary hand.
* Equip a bait in the secondary hand (Fishing.Bait.Annelid, Fishing.Bait.Boilies, Fishing.Bait.Chum, Fishing.Bait.Clam, Fishing.Bait.Crab, Fishing.Bait.Crayfish, Fishing.Bait.Earthworm, Fishing.Bait.Grubs, Fishing.Bait.Herring, Fishing.Bait.Jellyfish, Fishing.Bait.Mackerel, Fishing.Bait.Mullet, Fishing.Bait.RottingLiver, Fishing.Bait.Shrimp, Fishing.Bait.Squid, Fishing.Bait.StripedShiner).
* There should be fish spawning in the area once a rod is equipped
* Use the Fishing ability, or /fish command, to cast the line. Be careful not to cast too close to a fish or that will scare it away. You can use the ability or command to stop the line mid cast, so you can target your casting somewhat. You can also push the down arrow key or s key by default to reel the line in some once it's been cast into the water.
* Once a fish has been attracted to your line, it will begin a contest with you. You have to match the direction of the fish's movement with your arrow keys, or with your w,a,s,d keys (by default) to fight the fish. Successfully matching the fish's movement decreases its health. Failure makes the fish heal.
* Once the fish has been 'defeated' it will be reeled in automatically, and you will be presented with any applicable loot in the form of a bait, a fish, a cash item, or most rarely an encounter.

Galleons

Professor Telpon can help those willing get the schematics for these grand ships.

Enchantments

Several items now have item attachment slots. If you go to a trainer you should be able to train the enchantment ability. This ability is only available to those who are level 50. Enchantments drop from Bridge of destiny, Arena of Games, KDQ island, and Garuz island.

Arena of Games

Pinklet Lefever in Tehatamani coast is waiting for those who want to enter the arena and compete for great prizes.

Gloriann Festival Returns

Randolph and friends have returned to Telon.

Karax Woefather

Union negotiations with Karax have finally come to a compromise. He will work if we will stop killing him. Hopefully he will hold true to his word but he did have one hand behind his back when we shook hands. Looking for 24 brave adventurers to jump on test and try him out. If you find a problem with his event please report it.

Fix to Some Overland Raid mobs

All overland raid mobs that use flurry and or rage should now be using the proper flurry/rage. The current creatures are using group versions of these abilities instead of their raid versions or just nto firing them at all. Please log onto test server and try these mobs out.
