With the new character stats on Goddess of Destruction, the original Dyes used to increase a stat up to +5 are not so efficient anymore. That’s why new types of Dyes have been introduced to provide bigger bonus, with some of those dyes also increasing a particular Attribute Resistance.

The new types are Giant, Ancient and Legendary, and each comes in levels from 1 to 5, with level 5 being the highest quality Dye. Apart from event rewards, they can normally be obtained from two places – from the Mystery of the Dye Merchant in Magic Shops and as selected purchase in Fortresses in exchange for Knight Epaulettes, Fame points and Adena. The former are given randomly with each purchase, for 1 million Adena, and the chance to get a Dye goes down proportionally to its quality.

The ones that can be purchased from Fortresses are Level 4 Ancient Dyes (+5/-2 in exchange for 1600 KE, 130000 Fame and 9 million Adena) and Level 4 Legendary Dyes (+5/-1 in exchange for 8400 KE, 670000 Fame and 46 million Adena).

As with the original Dyes, you can have up to 3 Symbols applied to your character, but the difference is you are not limited to +5 increase per Stat; now you can increase them up to +15!

Attribute Resistance bonuses depend on the type of stat the Dye increases, with the following relations:

• STR gives Fire Resistance
• DEX gives Earth Resistance
• CON gives Darkness Resistance
• INT gives Water Resistance
• WIT gives Wind Resistance
• MEN gives Holy Resistance

What follows is a table with a full list of all the available Dyes you can obtain in Goddess of Destruction:

Lineage 2 Macros are can be very useful when used properly, so I decided to write a short guide which covers up the basics of player commands and the macro system, then presents a couple of PvE and PvP macro examples.

That way you can get a clue of what’s possible with the L2 macro system and get ideas for making your own set of macros.

I’m pleased with the update to my Attribute System article to cover all the changes done in Freya and High Five, as well as adding a section on PvE and Servitors attribute calculations.

You can also see a comparative graph for the differences between pre- and post-Freya attribute damage bonus breakpoints, and the specifics of the 3 attribute slots per armor piece.

I’m pleased to announce that Mayu’s Ultimate Lineage 2 Duelist Guide is finally released and published online! It took more than 3 months of hard work, lots of testing and tweaking, and consultation with friends and top Duelist players.

I think the result is brilliant and not only is this the first guide compatible with High Five, but it’s also the first to include an accompanying cheat sheet PDF that can be useful if you want to skip the detailed discussions on each topic and just get the Duelsit build you need.

Click the following link to open up the guide’s own page and learn more about:

Mayu’s Ultimate Lineage 2 Duelist Guide

If you’re active on any Lineage 2 forums or social networks like Facebook, Twitter, My Space and so on, please spread the word by sharing this post and the link to the guide.

As for what’s coming next, I plan to update all my articles and guides to be compatible with High Five, but also maintain compatibility with private servers which run older chronicles.
