Please read the following information carefully to learn more about the public testing of Chronicle 5.
High Level Testing: Special Boosts and Rates
The first character you create on the Public Test Server will be automatically boosted to level 75 when you log in to the test server. Please make sure that your first character is the character you want boosted! No other character you create will receive a boost. That character will also receive 76,000,000 SP to learn skills immediately and 100,000,000 Adena in the warehouse for items and equipment. Any character created after the first character will begin at level 1 with 0 SP and 0 Adena.
The experience rate during Chronicle 5 testing will be set at 4 times higher than the normal servers, and the item drop rate (including spoil) will be set at 6 times higher.
Special NPCs will be in the villages to sell items to help you develop your character quickly. NPCs will offer special items for sale, level your clan automatically, and allow you to choose your class transfers.
Low Level Testing: Character Wipe
Shortly before the release of the Chronicle on the live servers, the Public Test Server will be wiped of all characters before the end of public testing. At that time we hope you will continue to test on the server with a new character, beginning at level 1, to focus on the lower end content of Chronicle 5. As the wipe approaches, we will give advanced warning and will give more details about the experience and item drop rates for the lower level content testing.
Reporting Bugs
After the server launches, there will be two threads created in this forum for bug reporting. Please post in the correct thread, depending on the type of bug, to let the QA team know about any possible issues. We ask that you use only the official message board to report bugs during Chronicle 5 testing.
More often than not we will be unable to respond directly to bug reports unless they interfere with normal gameplay. We read all bug reports and we appreciate your time to post them here on the board.
Other Information
Choose carefully when you make your choices on the PTS, especially create your character and change your class. There are no refunds or reimbursements offered on the Public Test Server if you change your mind later!
Patch notes have been posted so you will have an idea of the new features and areas to explore in Chronicle 5. Thank you again from the Lineage II team!
