New Skills

Easy to find right now. There's an event going on for a week where you can get the new skills and such...although drop rate seems to be decent for them in PI anyway(already had a guildy get one while grinding )

Item Upgrades

I would recommend to just sell your cores unless you have hundreds and HUNDREDS of cores. I tried upgrading my suit with it starting at +8 with full Enhanced Cores and it went like this:

8-->9-->10-->9-->8-->7-->8-->7-->8-->9-->8

It seems that if you do NOT use Enhanced Cores, you will go down -2 if you fail...if you do use enhanced cores you will only go down -1. If you do a mix I imagine it would do either -2 or -1.

New Daily Quests

There is a variety of new Daily Quests for the new Porta Inferno Map you have a choice of which ones you want to do(can only pick one of each kind).









Chaos Arena 6

It's pretty nasty...not at all easy. Seems most of the mobs in there are ranged so you pretty much HAVE to kill every spawn before the next one or you are screwed. No cores or anything drops from the mobs...only alz. So if you don't beat it and get to the final chest you get no loot at all. The EXP is so so at the moment...since every single mob in there is ranged it's really hard to mob them up in a good group.

First Spawn: Chaotic Fallen Steed


Second Spawn: Chaotic Lizard Fish


Third Spawn: Chaotic Nadiell


Fourth Spawn: Chaotic Ariyak


Fifth Spawn: Chaotic Dark Archer


Sixth Spawn: Chaotic Ispita


Seventh Spawn: Chaotic Elder Demon


Eighth Spawn: Chaotic Dark Kimzark


Ninth Spawn: Chaotic Incubus


Tenth Spawn: Chaotic Nola Ispita


Final Boss: Chaotic Leth Tyrant


Random New BL Party buff and stats:


Porta Inferno
First thought....I LOVE THIS MAP!!!!!! The look of it is REALLY cool and there's dragons flying around in the sky. Rounding up 4-5 mobs at the very beginning gives the same exp(maybe a touch more) than mobbing up 10 mobs in the cornus area. As for bosses...they all require a party as the regen when not attacking is EXTREME!!! Such as l.....l that every 2 seconds or so. Drops seem to be mainly UCH/UCHH with the worst drop for me so far being a no slot Sig piece...that's right no force cores as of yet.
--Just a side note...bosses will not attack you until you attack them...except for the final one lol...

A cool looking statue thingy around Manticore:

Dark Kimzark:


Grind Spots
I've only found 2 somewhat decent ones...the one farther in the pink area gives better exp if you hide behind one of the gates...it kind of acts like the Branny spot in MF except the mobs are more ranged...the spots I found to be okay are marked with the blue "X"



Epic Grind Spot
Found a pretty good grind spot where the mobs really come flowing from 2 different sides. The best exp is when you are solo...
