Expect bonus time for the next three days, and Free Leaguers will earn some licenses and be eligible for the Milestone Mettle Tournaments. And then there’s the biggest prize - $10,000 will be going to a Free Leaguer! Plus, five more of you will be randomly selected to win a Nintendo Wii.

Here’s a rundown of all that’s happening with this momentous occasion:


Celebrate With Fellow Atlantians

That’s right, for 72 hours, starting when the clock strikes midnight to usher in Friday, Nov. 21, in the Pacific time zone, all players will receive 150% Experience points while they make their way in the Atlantica world. You’ll have the whole weekend - three straight days! - to bask in bonus experience and to level up quicker.

Start Time: Nov. 21, at 12 a.m. Pacific Standard Time (PST)
Duration: 72 hours

Plus, all players who participated in the Free Leagues, regardless of whether they won or lost their battles, will receive the License Package, which consists of five 14-day licenses for Teleportation, Patrol, Health Check, and Auto-Battle. In addition, all Free Leaguers will receive eight 7-day Mercenary Room Licenses.

Delivery Time: Nov. 21, at 8 p.m. PST
Delivery Location: Your Item Pick Up under the ‘Item Mall’ menu


The Magnificent Elephant’s Footsteps

Time is running out to craft your Golden Elephant statue, which can then be exchanged for the Byzantine Elephant by Nov. 30. Now your chance to collect 150 of the necessary Golden Tusks arrives on Nov. 21. Thirty tusks will be distributed to the inventory of all Level 20-plus players who are online at these times: 10 a.m., 12 p.m., 2 p.m., 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. (all times are PST). Be on at the right times and you can add 150 Golden Tusks to help you with that special statue.


Milestone Mettle Tournament

With the final Milestone of 30,000 comes the final round of Milestone Mettle Tournaments. And the best prize was saved for last: $1,000 to the winner of each tournament. So earn some cold hard cash for your kick-ass combat. And this time, there will be 10 total tournaments; two for each of the five servers.

The final two Milestone Mettle Tournaments will be held:
Nov. 21 at 12 p.m. and 7 p.m. PST.

When the Milestone Mettle Tournament is about to begin, it will be announced in-game as another weekly championship tournament. Please disregard that notice. The tournaments at 12 p.m. and 7 p.m. PDT on Nov. 21 are in fact the Milestone Mettle Tournaments.

The prizes for the 30,000 Milestone Mettle Tournaments:
1st Place: $1,000 & Hell Horse.
2nd Place: Hell Horse.
3rd & 4th Places: 10 Multi-Hued Jewelry Boxes.

Plus, there will be a raffle on each of the server’s Free Leaguers for thirty (30) Brown Horses.

Each set of prizes will be awarded to competitors on each Atlantica server. First place winners of the Milestone Mettle Tournament will receive a confirmation email after the tournament.

Please note: You must have fought in the Free Leagues to participate in these tournaments. There can be no repeat first place winners. Once one account wins a Milestone Mettle Tournament, he or she is not eligible to win another first place prize from another Milestone Mettle tournament during the open beta period.

Depends how you want to play.

Sword = Main-line tank.
Axe = Front-line AoE attacker
Spear = Front or Mid-line attack (skewers target and monster 1 spot behind it)
Cannon = Back or Mid-line ranged AoE (I used it, and loved it)
Rifle = Back or Mid-line ranged (skewers target and monster 1 spot behind it)
Staff = Healing and support (you don't get a Shaman mercenary until the end of the tutorial)

Um...I would say they are all good. It really depends what kind of mercenaries you get to support your main...

Nonetheless...

Sword:
- Single Target attack
- Melee Class. Can only attack enemies that are not blocked by other enemies.
- Has Flame Sword (High powered single attack spell)
- Only main class that can use a shield
- Highly durable (tank), but susceptible to magic attacks.

Axe:
- Does row attacks (hits 1-3 enemies by swinging horizontally)
- Melee Class. Can only attack enemies that are not blocked by other enemies.
- Has Freezing Axe spell (stun your enemies for a few turns)
- Has high HP
- Durable, but more susceptible to magic attacks than 'Sword' and kinda slow

Spear:
- Does column attacks (physical attack = 2 enemies in a column)
- Melee Class. Can only attack enemies that are not blocked by other enemies.
- Has Lightning Spear spell (attacks 1-3 enemies in a column + reduce AP [slow them down])
- Defense/Magic Defense balanced between Sword & Axe classes

Gun:
- Does column attacks (physical attack = 3 enemies in a column)
- Range class. Can hit airborne enemies, but can only attack enemies that are not blocked by other enemies
- Has Wild Shot spell (High powered column spell attack)
- High dex = good accuracy, average attack power
- Better magic defense, high HP, but poor defense
- Can work with other gun/artillery mercenaries to stun enemies over time

Artillery/Cannon:
- Does AoE attacks (on a 3 x 3 grid, can attack in a + sign)
- Range Class. But can't hit airborne enemies
- Has Deep Insight spell (AoE (weak) degen + show enemies HP)
- High dex, but not as strong as Gun/Archer classes
- Better magic defense, high HP, but poor defense
- Can work with other gun/artillery mercenaries to stun enemies over time
- Can damage any enemy because of its arching attacks

Archer:
- Does single attacks
- Range Class. Can hit airborne enemies
- Has Silence spell (silence enemies + small degen)
- High dex. Stronger than Gun/Artillery
- Better magic defense, high HP, but poor defense
- Can damage any single enemy because of its arching attacks

Shaman:
- Does single magic attacks, but can only attack enemies that are not blocked by other enemies
- Magic Class. Can hit airborne enemies
- Has Healing Spell (forgot the name lol)
- Has Hex of Darkness Spell (column dark magic degen)
- Strong Magic Defense and INT, but has poor defense and HP
- Great support class in general

Cash shop boxes or events as well, that's about it, other than collecting 3k tusks. Probably have more ways later on.

I was but alot of people ended up quitting cause of school and other games.

[Javier]

Nice elephant.

Anyway, I'm a little peeved they give out stuff based on PST times, what about the other global players? Being a hemisphere away, I hardly ever get my hands on those goodies. I'd prefer if they'd give it based on how long you're logged in per day, or something.

Atlantica Runs on PST (-8 GMT)

All the items will be delivered to every character in the Atlantica world at 1 p.m. Pacific Standard Time for the duration of the event.

Please note: if your mailbox is full, it won't be able to receive the items. So please clear out your mailbox to get in on the feast.

The items from the first three days of the event will be delivered to mailboxes on Nov. 27, at 1 p.m.
On Monday, it was supposed to be 40 Ambrosia.
On Tuesday, 12 Ornate Treasure Maps (please note that the non-trade version of the Ornate Treasure Map is called the Fancy Treasure Map).
On Wednesday, it was supposed to be 20 Scrolls of Life's Blessing.

Now all of these will be in your mailbox as of Thursday. Those will be joined by the scheduled item for Thursday. There are the rest of the items to be rewarded:

Thursday, Nov. 27
20 Scrolls of Resurrection
Friday, Nov. 28
12 Scrolls of Bewitching
Saturday, Nov. 29
