In the upcoming version update, we will be adding a new promotion quest to unlock the next mercenary rank, as well as a series of exciting assault missions.

New Mercenary Rank
The mercenary rank of "First Lieutenant" will be awarded to players who survive the grueling trials put forth by the hard-nosed drill sergeant, Rongelouts. Do you have what it takes, maggot?

New Assault Missions
Five new missions await players who have achieved the rank of First Lieutenant.
Here's a sneak preview of what lies in store:

Bloody Rondo

Mission Orders: After years of quietly defying Imperial rule, the recluse Count Dracula has recently begun preparations for an assault on Al Zahbi. Infiltrate the Leujoam Sanctum, locate the count, and slay him before he can execute his plans.

The Susanoo Shuffle

Mission Orders: In an attempt to strengthen their bonds with the Mamool Ja, an eastern nation has provided the beastmen with a new biologically engineered hydra hybrid known as Orochi. You are to infiltrate the training grounds and eliminate the new threat

I lol'd, and immediately gave my five bucks to the Homestarmy for this.

 

[Gerry]

lol, Count Dracula, I didn't expect that! What next? The son of Dracula, Alucard appearing in a mission? XD

 

[Dayner]

abot time we get some info abot Dvergr/Vampyr

i wonder how strong are they

 

[Vilurum]

They already existed in lolEinherjar, in the tier 2 areas if I recall. Which is to say, not many people have actually gotten to play with them yet.

 

[Dayner]

tier 3 not 2 ;p

 

[Fullerene]

Dracula?

o.o

wtf?

 

[rabidsquirrel]

You would think they would be able to come up with a better name than Count Dracula.

lol Count Dracula rules i even have the Bela Lugosi version of Dracula tattooed on my arm:wink:

 

[Morari]

Orochi? I guess that means we'll see a slew of new liquor Cooking recipes, or would that be Alchemy?

[Claudhert]

oh shiz! Dracula!!! CALL THE BELMONTS!!!

 

[Elohim]

Wait, what? There's going to be a mob in the game called Count Dracula? Seriously?

That's the video game equivalent of breaking the fourth wall. "Haha, this isn't really a magical faraway land called Vana'diel, it's a video game with apocryphal references to real world media."

Next Update: A new rank has been introduced for mid level players. Can you endure Sergeant Slaughter's grueling training regime?

Additionally, a new series of quests entitled "Grind Quest #1 - #99" will be introduced in major cities. Using only a level 1 broom, can you clean up San d'Oria? Remove graffiti from Bastok? Eliminate all Tarutaru droppings in Windurst? Excitement! Adventure! Grind!

Edit: Yes, I realize the irony of mocking grind quests while sporting a Lu Shang sig. STFU.

Count Dracula... >.>

Anyways, I can't wait to see what kind of rewards can come from these missions. But how high will ranking go? Will we have a chance to be a General?! Command our own army. =p
