New Summoning Magic and Quests

The thrilling climax to Chains of Promathia was finally reached in the July version update. Now delve deeper into the stories of prominent Chains of Promathia characters as you enjoy the new quests planned for release in December.

-New Summoning Magic

The quest to obtain an avatar long awaited by summoners will soon be available. The terrestrial avatar Diabolos made his first appearance in "Darkness Named," and now those able to defeat him at the height of his strength will learn to harness the power of dreams.

The Blood Pact abilities of Diabolos are quite unique when compared to those of other avatars. We have provided a list of Diabolos's abilities with brief explanations; however, we would like to allow summoners the chance to discover the full scope of these powers on their own.

-Diabolos's Blood Pact Abilities

Camisado: Deals physical damage.
Somnolence: Weighs target down.
Nightmare: Deals darkness elemental damage that puts all enemies within the area of effect to sleep and gradually reduces their HP.
Ultimate Terror: Decreases attributes of enemies within area of effect.
Noctoshield: Gives party members within area of effect the effect of "Phalanx."
Dream Shroud: Enhances magic attack and magic defense of party members within area of effect.
Nether Blast: Delivers a ranged attack that deals darkness elemental damage.
Ruinous Omen (Astral Flow): Required MP: Caster's level x2. Uses all MP and reduces the HP of enemies within area of effect by a random percentage.

-New Quest

A new quest that brings players up against the might of the Wyrmking Bahamut will be introduced. The ruler of all dragonkind has previously only appeared in Chains of Promathia mission event scenes, but in the upcoming version update, adventurers will come face to face with Bahamut on the field of battle.

*These quests can only be undertaken after progressing past a certain point in the Chains of Promathia story. Also, the key items and normal items required for the quests "Mama Mia" and "The Moonlit Path" will not be affected by the introduction of the avatar Diabolos.

In addition to those mentioned above, several more quests are scheduled for release in the upcoming version update, so be sure to check the Topics section regularly for the latest details!


Enjoy! :)

Now the real question.


Does this make Astral Signa WORTH something?

After probably 30+ attempts at this in pretty much every party setup you can imagine, I am about ready to give up until someone comes up with a way to beat this guy that is foolproof.

I had a hell of a time with it too. I lost like 4k exp on SMN and like 12k on BLM.

It seems there's no foolproof way of doing it, but my only success was a traditional manaburn setup. And honestly, even that wasn't a sure victory; we got lucky and Ashen managed to stun a Nightmare between casts.

I'm hearing that even Chainspell/Stun isn't 100%, because he seems to resist some of the stuns occasionally. Either that, or he's simply designed to have one un-interruptable Nightmare occur around 50% HP.

Either way, SE definitely made this tough. Maybe Atii will have a hard time getting this one, unless a pack of NA asshats help him/her the way they helped them get Fenrir a few weeks ago.

I thought Atii was a WHM? Is there actually a RMT SMN?

Stick the names in the server CGF thread so they can be filed under "RMT supporters"

Yes there is. It's a Taru, wearing Errent and AF1. One secound while I check the server RMT thread...

Ah. It's Dkafle. Been around for 2-3 months, but the job makes me think it's a bought account character. Offen seen in the RMT shells Btou and SoNaHa and works with Xiazhu, Maachan, Luttu, Eigne and Kittys. Reports and my own studying of the character think it's most likely a duel or tri boxed character. No Fenrir, as unlike Atii, the people running the character do not most likely know enough English or Japanese to shout for it and never uses Auto Translator and Kittys's group is much smaller, working with the remains of KISS and ange.

As for Atii, she/he/it isn't flagged for COP yet, but as we've got NA braintrusts who flagged Largewolf all the way up to Chapter 4, I'm sure if she/he shouts in Jueno long enough, you'll have some cash hungry idiots who will drag her though because we all know how Atii claimed he "QUIT" RMT and "bought" the character.

I wish I know who it was that actually did the fight for them Six ... I was hanging around Jeuno, trying to skill up Alchemy some, and I got a tell offering me 200k for a Fenrir fight. I figured why not ...

So I joined up, and immediately saw Atii was in the party, but wasn't the leader. I sent tells to the rest of the group, and luckily they disbanded it and didn't help her.

Unfortunately when I logged in the next day, I saw Atii seeking as a SMN and checked her search comment. In the trademark RMT broken english, she said she had Fenrir.

That's correct Jabber, Atii is a WHM but also has an up-and-coming 50-something SMN. I think it's 50-something anyway.
