Thanks for translation <33

[Droid]

>.< I want know BD (SD) skill...

[Obsidian]

Thanks for all your hard work, dreamangel.

- castle, fortresses, rainbow clan hall, + the clan hall - all members all these clans can use

Cool, so clan halls get the summons as well. Do owners of castles, fortresses, and halls have access to all three Agathion? I'd read that only castle owners can get the little angel chick. I mean, I'll settle for copter pig, I'm just curious about their abilities and what it would be like to level them along with another pet.

In the post it said "etc." so it could be more than 1.

[mec]

YES! Make the bishops stronger and gimp the EE/SE!

[JadeVirus]

Awesome post, thanks for taking your time to do this!

I want to say that ncsoft devs are bunch of dumb idiots imo.

- When independent, instant dungeon will be accessible
- When independent, instant dungeon will not be accessible

o.O that confuses me :3

[Adrien]

I think BD Dance give rest to dark/sacred elements.

[Tatsumasa]

are there any skills left w/o translation yet?

[DarkElva]

o.O that confuses me :3

If fortress takes an oath to follow castle, castle's instant dungeon will be accessible, but fortress instant dungeon won't be accessible. If fortress declares independence to castle, opposite things happen.

[Adrien]

Can you decline fortress war?
If you are attacker and lose fortress war do you lose something? (rep points etc?)

You can stop your enemies' lvling in Instant Dungeon by taking fortress and declaring independence if they are owning castle.

[DarkElva]

You don't lose anything if you are attacker.

[Diego Vargas]

So the advantage here of being independent is if you are not the castle owner you are locking your clan out of a potential uber xp/boss run by declaring sovereignty.

Gotcha

Duration of fortress siege?
