Sorry, quick question. Even if I don't get all the required EXP to master a branch (like FS melee speed) will I still be able to skill up even if I do missions in the next phase (and when I have enough EXP, learn the skills for both), or will I fail my current skill, which is melee speed, and start again with the new phase?

I'm new to the FS quest.







If you have unlocked the branch you can train in it when you get the experience needed.

Of course you will be able

Well if you think about it like this:

Servers last changed on a Tuesday, then you need 3 weeks of up time, which would make the ticker click on Tuesday but after server comes up, and since you need swerver reset would make it wait until Thursday.


So when it cycles on thursday the next cycle will be on a Saturday, since ticker will click on Thursday 3 weeks after, and then have to wait until Server reset.


The days that it cycles on should rotate from Tuesday to Thursday to Saturday and again

I hope you are right. But since phase change requires a server restart and all servers just had one during the night before Tuesday, is it not more likely that it will not happen until at least Thursday?





When did they start the server reset 3 times a week?

Umm... I was under the impression that thereis no longer any fixed schedule for server resets. Am I wrong?

They initially started out not resetting the servers at all but apparently this caused problems so they have scaled back to only doing it on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday mornings.

This has been going on for a couple of months.

I do not think this is true though from the data of the phase changes that is listed.

If you look at the previous times when the phases came about they always were one day after the 3 weeks like For example. (This was taken from front page of this post)

Phase 1: Tue, Aug 31st: All Servers
Phase 2: Wed, Sep 22nd: Ahazi, Chimaera, Farstar, Flurry, Infinity, Intrepid, Kettemoor, Sunrunner
Phase 2: Thu, Sep 23nd: Bloodfin, Chilastra, Corbantis, Eclipse, Gorath, Kauri, Lowca, Radiant,
Phase 2: Thu, Sep 23nd: Scylla, Shadowfire, Starsider, Tarquinas, Valcyn, Wanderhome
Phase 3: Thu, Oct 14th: Ahazi, Chimaera, Farstar, Flurry, Gorath, Infinity,
Phase 3: Thu, Oct 14th: Intrepid, Kettemoor, Lowca, Naritus, Tempest, Sunrunner
Phase 3: Fri, Oct 15th: Bloodfin, Bria, Chilastra, Corbantis, Eclipse, Kauri, Radiant,
Phase 3: Fri, Oct 15th: Scylla, Shadowfire, Starsider, Tarquinas, Valcyn, Wanderhome
Phase 4: Fri, Nov 5th: Ahazi, Chimaera, Farstar, Flurry, Infinity, Intrepid, Kettemoor, Tempest
Phase 4: Sat, Nov 6th: Bria, Gorath, Lowca, Naritus, Radiant, Shadowfire, Starsider, Sunrunner, Tarquinas,



as you can see it goes in a pattern

Phase 1:Tue
Phase 2:Wed/Thu
Phase 3:Thu/Fri
Phase 4:Fri/Sat

The reason that some servers have a diffrent ime cycle then others is because every server has a diffren't server down time period. cuz some servers take longer to get back up and running.

So since last phase change happened on a tuesday that means that the next phase change shall be on Wedsday or Thursday depending on the down time of your server. But since the last one every server had Phase 2 at the same time then maybe the Devs did a little tweaking with the system and made it so that all the servers change phases at the same time. but that is just speculation.

But i do believe that a few servers will have phase 3 on there server tomorrow.


Also this is an assumption that the devs haven't changed anything dealing with the phase changes since it has went live

Youd have been right if the server schedule hadn't changed after the village quests were already introduced.

Re: server resets, all I can say is that the timing can be described as really weird. Haven't been able to detect a consistent pattern Didn't think about that 3-a-week thing but hadn't noticed it. Will keep eyes open

It would appear that Valcyn is now in phase 3. This seemed to have happened because the server crashed and was therefore restarted. So I would expect that most servers will shift phase next time they reset.


Right now I really want Chimaera to crash. LOL.
