Patch Notes Version 332
Released May 18, 2010

New Content updates:

Demon / Sage Conversion
Overview
Have you gotten tired of being a Celestial Sage or Celestial Demon? Or maybe you picked the wrong path in life and want to make amends for it? Well, here's your chance. With the new conversion service, you'll be able to convert your Spiritual Cultivation from being a Celestial Sage to a Celestial Demon and vice versa.

Converting:
Talk to a Conversion Executor at (572, 649) in Archosaur or at (121, 858) in City of a Thousand Streams and change your life today! When you speak with them, you'll be able to accept a quest to create a Celestial Schism. To create this item, you'll need to obtain a Celestial Schism Mold from the PW Boutique. Bring the mold and 200 Mirage Celestones back to the Conversion Executor and they should be able to create the Celestial Schism for you.

Once it's created, speak with the Conversion Executor again and select their Sage/Demon Conversion Service. It's at this point where the conversion takes place. Simply choose Convert and you'll be playing for the other side.

Things to Consider:
You can convert as many times as you'd like, but you'll have to reacquire Celestial Schism Molds and Mirage Celestones each time. Keep in mind that any Sage/Demon skills that you currently have will revert back to their level 10 non-Sage/non-Demon skills. This means you'll have to relearn your skills. Some skills that were only attainable as Celestial Sages/Demons will be converted to their corresponding skill from the opposing Spiritual Cultivation.

Tiger Badge Repeatable Quest
Level Requirements: Level 20 - 100

The Tiger Badge quests will test your resourcefulness. On your quest to find the Tiger Badge Order, you'll be asked to find random people and items. How you go about acquiring the items is up to you. After completing each step in the quest line, look in your Quest List to check who you need to visit next as well as any item you may need to bring them.

To Begin:
Talk to the Beast Killer NPC at (545, 653) in Archosaur. He'll start you off on your quest to find the Tiger Badge Order.

Step 1: Grey Tiger Badges
You'll need to bring Grey Tiger Badges to the person stated in your Quest List. Grey Tiger Badges can be bought from any Merchant. The number of Grey Tiger Badges needed will depend on your level.

Step 2: Random Item
You'll need to bring a certain quantity of a random item to someone. Check the Quest List to see who you need to look for. The random item and its quantity will depend on your level.

Step 3: Visitation
Find and speak to whoever the quest tells you to. There are no item requirements for this step.

Step 4: Random Item
Once again, you'll need to bring a quantity of a random item to someone. The random item and its quantity will depend on your level.

After completing this step, you will receive an Envelope of Tiger's Might appropriate to your current level. This item will allow you to repeat the quest. Also, if you're level 80+, you will also receive a Cloud Tiger Badge that contains a random item.
