[Blog] Official NAGC Blog #9 – Second Look

This week, we’ll be bringing you a full preview video for tonight’s maintenance, some preview patch notes, and a new contest announcement!

Sneak Peek – Round 2 of Rebirth!

Tonight’s maintenance brings us more 4^th Bar skills for four characters! Check out who’s up next for a revamp in our latest skill and graphics preview!

Inside GameRage – Patch Preview

As we have another major patch tonight, we wanted to bring you insight on some of the biggest changes tomorrow.

Skills & 4^th Bar Updates

-4^th Bar special missions and Job Change packages have been added for Lass, Ryan, Sieghart, and Dio.

-Skill and 4^th bar combination packages for Lass, Ryan, Sieghart, and Dio have been added. Please note that Dio’s package only contains 2 keys instead of 5. Its price is adjusted to compensate for this difference.

Rita’s Coordi Gift Boxes

-Be sure to check your mailbox when you log in after patch for a special gift!

Leviathan’s Aid

-Dio will be joining you in dungeons on occasion to help you battle the forces of evil.

It’s Raining Men!

-For a limited time, the quest item drops for Lass, Ryan, Sieghart, and Dio’s character unlock missions will have a 100% rate. If you haven’t unlocked these fine fellows, you should do so before 10/16!

Community Spotlight – Halloween Fanart Contest!

We’ve really been itching to see some great artwork from our creative community. It’s only fair that we reward those with the passion, creativity, and dedication with a full-blown contest!

We love Halloween here at GameRage. Our office is already decked out with creepy decorations from top to bottom! We can’t help but wonder, though, what our beloved Grand Chase would look like if they were heading out to Trick or Treat. Maybe you guys could show us!
