Alongside tonights maintenance have come a number of updates to the game, including the following:
1. Stackable Experience Potions Have Been Added! New "Piled Exp Potions" allow you to stack up multiple of the potions (up to 3 max) to increase the amount of experience you get over a period of time. Great for those who can only squeeze in a short time to play due to limited free time. Using one will give 25% bonus Experience, and when a second is activated, the bonus Experience will increase to 60% while both are active, and when 3 are on at the same time it will raise up to 100%. Each lasts an hour from when they were first activated, and as they expire one by one the bonus Experience will decrease a stage from 100% to 60% to 25% until the last ends. The Piled Exp Potions are able to be used alongside other Experience Potions, and when used with the Regular Exp Potions can give a bonus of 150% at a time. 2. New Tutorial System for Beginning Users A comprehensive new tutorial system has been added to the game to guide new users along their beginning adventures in Asda Story. The tutorial explains the game?s functions and commands, as well as how to progress throughout the game to gain a firm grasp on its mechanics. Feel free to check it out by simply starting up a new character whenever you feel like trying out another class.
3. Item Boasting System A new system has been added to allow users to link specific items into a special boasting window where you will be able to see the item?s full details and share them with other players. To do so simply right click an unequipped item in your inventory, and you may then either share an item privately to a player you have targeted, or to everyone nearby. The system may be disabled by unchecking the box at the bottom of the Game Options window to avoid issues while actively fighting and questing, etc.
4. Dice Rolling System Users are now able to Roll Dice and generate random numbers by typing กฐ /dice # กฐ Players are welcomed to use the function in Dungeons and other party situations where more than one player would like to have an item that someone else does not need; which can also be used well in conjunction with the Boasting system to show them what they will be rolling for!
5. New Years Calendar Drop Event In the excitement from our Holiday Events we seem to have forgotten to pick up some new calendars for 2009! Help us out and collect the dropped pages from each month off of monsters in-game, and earn yourselves some fantastic prizes while you are at it!
As the months on the calendar pages get further into the year, starting from January and moving towards December, they will be harder to find in-game and therefore earn you more valuable prizes! Collect all 12 months (Jan~Dec) - 5x GrimReaper Armor Set Boosters + 1x Weapon Set Booster (2x for OHS-Shield Specs) + (30-day) Hatchling Booster!
Collect the first 9 months (Jan~Sept) - 5x Anvilhart Armor Set Boosters + 1x Weapon Set Booster (2x for OHS-Shield Specs) + (30-day) Cito 2008 Booster!

The nefarious fowl kept his Christmas Crystals for themselves which you will have to take back by force, and they scattered Santas Buttons all over the ground which you can find by digging! You can also find Gift Material by using the crafting system. By gathering these special Holiday Crafting materials, you will be able to create your own Item Mall items such as Vehicles and Reset Scrolls as Gifts during the special Holiday Crafting Event Period! Please see our Event Post regarding the Holiday Crafting and Gift Event for complete information.
Holiday Crafting Event Period: (12/23/08 12AM) ~ (1/5/09 9PM PST) The special Holiday Crafting Items will no longer be able to be found in-game after 1/5/09, however all Event items will last until 1/29/09 after which they will be removed. This excludes the special Event Sowels you will be able to keep after Crafting. Crafted Item Mall items will be removed after 2/02/09 as well, so use what you make in the month between the end of the event and when they`re removed.
Happy Holidays from all of us here at GamesCampus! -AsdaStory Support Team
