–What is Spiegelman’s Monster Park?–

Monster Park is a new party play zone available from players who are level 20 or higher.
There are three gates you can enter. Each gate has a variety of dungeons you can enter solo or with party members.
The 50% additional EXP applies in this new content.

If you want to enter a dungeon, you will need to have a:

– Zebra Printed Ticket (you can only enter dungeons if you are below level 70)
– Leopard Printed Ticket. (you can only enter dungeons if you are between level 70 and 120)

In each dungeon you have to defeat monsters. The monsters can drop a variety of items, such as potions and unidentified items, Monster Park coins and items that enhance the stats of the personality traits.

The monsters in all Monster Park dungeons are strong and have high HP, but you get high EXP in return.
Currently players level 120 and higher cannot participate in Monster Park.

There will be an update in the future to make Monster Park accessible for level +120 players.

-Monster Park prizes-

For 50 Monster Park coins, you can get a Spiegelman Mustache face accessory. The accessory is time limited for only five days and cannot be extended. The only good thing is that it adds +100 Charm and Charisma.

The second and last prize is available for 100 Monster Park coins. It’s a pocket item. The pocket item is also time limited for seven days, but it increases +30 Charm, Charisma, Insight, Will, Sense and Craft.

There is a lot more content such as the Neo City and Ellin Forest changes, Treasure Monsters and new events.
I covered most of it when it was in the test server, but it’s the same in the public server.

However, I will post more about Treasure Monsters soon.
We’ll meet again in April~ ^^
