VELA · LINEAGE II ESSENCE
October 30: shop prices, mass enchanting, runes v3, clans, balance and farming routes. Costume previews, collections and champion raid bosses.
Premium: 7 days for 349 coins ($3.49), 30 days for 1199 ($11.99). Services, conveniences and growth bundles have new prices. Alt+X sells Hero Circlet, two masks, Cloak of Protection, Pendant Lv. 1 and Dragon Egg; Special Craft makes Heavenly Cloak, Valakas and Pendant levels 2–5.
Wiki details →Up to 50 items per batch, a target +N and individual results. Every failure raises that item’s chance at that level, shown as one line under the chance: “Failures in a row: 3 · chance bonus +6%”. Retail Essence failure rewards are gone. Chance growth does not cover runes or breakable accessories.
Wiki details →Twelve sets, innate properties, percentage Attack, skill power and critical damage. Attack/cast speed, critical chance and ancient runes are gone. There is no upgrade guarantee. Main percentage bonuses apply at 20% in PvP; runes are disabled in the 1×1 Arena.
Wiki details →Clans of up to 15 have privileges, three auctioned halls, Guild Battle and DKP. PvP uses class factors; plain attacks scale after damage calculation. Grade VII armor and the IV→V transition have corrected bonuses.
Wiki details →A route from level 20 to 150+ rebirths: recommended routes through the open Z3–Z8 zones, top rune spots and timed zones. Halls of Epic remains the main farm at 150+; rebirth-tier zones do not give shards or epic materials.
Wiki details →Nineteen new costumes at 490/690 coins and four Vela costumes at 490, with fitting. The Upgrade window shows item properties, payment options and Where to get. Collections use a framed native window, one slot per hunting level.
Wiki details →Skills, Runes, Upgrade, Rebirth, Doll of Greed, the Vela menu and Tower have new windows. Alt+B opens the menu directly. Custom HTML pages are gone: update through the launcher.
All 43 classes without pages, three skill grids by stars, requirements and prices alongside. Star a skill to add it to Alt+K; use the checkbox to show learned skills. Runes have six tabs, comparison with the equipped rune and bulk dismantling with confirmation.
The table shows each stat now and at later levels. All three payment routes work at every level. The seven-boss chain is ordinary A epic → Lv. 4 → Lv. 5 → Lv. 6 → Epic. Advancing requires Upgrade +5, enchant exactly +5 and materials; the new item is +0. Each grade is enchanted anew.
There is no daily rebirth cap, even in the first days. Bonuses show now → next, and Tiers are in the same window. The golden-pig Doll gives up to +15% XP and SP at +20, with a progress bar before every attempt and the weekly top inside. Ascension gives a new grade at +0: enchant, augmentation, attributes and soul crystals do not carry over.
The hat goes left of the weapon, the Shirt of Power right of the shield. Circlet, mask, pendant and belt keep their slots: all six can be worn together.
No listing fee or sales tax on the market. The donation store shows dollars: a $1 top-up = $1 in the window; 30-day premium then cost $3.99. See the October 30 section above for current prices. Base talismans and materials are sold only in Equipment in the adena store; higher levels and blessing remain in Special Craft.
A missed calendar day costs 1 million adena. Old Sayha Blessings in the calendar, milestones and referral rewards have been replaced with Vela Shards. SP extraction gives a Greater Upgrade Stone for 50 million SP and 1 million adena, up to five times daily. Commands .shop, .premium, .lootbox, .patron, .gift and .missionpass reply in chat; buy in the client windows and follow the chat instructions for services such as .shop rename NewName.
Only a master account is registered on the site; game accounts are created and linked inside it. Accounts with a confirmed email are already moved: sign in with that email and your old game password, a letter came to the email; change the password. Without a confirmed email, use “Link my account”.
Master account →Talismans, bracelets, belts, brooches, agathions, cloaks, masks and circlets break from +0, a blessed scroll resets them to +0. Weapons, armor and jewelry never break, but the rates are lower: from +11 a failure rolls back by 1, never below +10. Epic jewelry rolls back from +3.
Rates and scrolls needed →The Olympiad with Heroes runs Sat and Sun 21:00–24:00 Moscow time. Unique titles are open. The ranking goes by rebirths with the Essence bonuses, the top 3 by Combat Power get an XP bonus, there is a Rune power button. Name backgrounds come with titles.
No old HTML windows. The Auto Hunt and Hero Path windows are gone: the wheel runs hunting, milestones come by themselves. A new Upgrade window, a framed Doll of Greed, a skill library with every 4★ (your own also in Alt+K, duplicate buffs hidden), new rune art, one text theme in every window.
Windows →Clans of up to 15, the contribution is in adena. Clan bonuses are real stats, 3 clan halls with rent and bonuses, Guild Battle with auto defense (a bigger clan makes more attacks), a DKP guide, a “Vela Clan” button in the clan window.
Alt+X is reworked: talismans and inner items for adena, gems, agathions, dyes. The Shop of Vela is in dollars: starter packs $25 / $50 / $100, a daily chest $5, premium, name colour and a coloured title, name and gender change. A missed calendar day can be bought back. The weekly box has a fixed list, changed on Fridays. World Exchange takes adena and Vela Coins.
Hunter collections are on the Hunting tab, harder and with the gain shown. Hats no longer take the mask slot, the Shirt of Power goes into the shirt slot.
Collections →Other heroes form parties more often, go to power zones, buy on the World Exchange and come to PvP events.
The full release notes →The Game tab shows the client state and a big Play button. The server, the game folder (Change · Open · Check files), the client language, the sharp 4K mode and the new-PC sign-in code are on the Settings tab. A new hero takes its language from the launcher.
Launcher →The tabs are the Arena, Guild Battle and PvP events; the server has no Echo Siege. The Olympiad is back in the third release, in the stock client window.
Arena →A hero takes 40% of the skill, DoT and reflect damage of players; plain attacks are as before. PvP bonuses of the gear are no longer amplified and work exactly as written.
Classes and balance →Frost Lord’s Castle: 3 hours a day (up to 6), entry through the Special Hunting Zones window. The Tower of Insolence lets heroes in again. Monsters of Devil’s Isle, the Schuttgart Mines and the Wasteland Ant Nest drop adena.
Power zones →A free teleport (.gate go, the Zones tab, the raid calendar) to a timed zone with no time left refuses at once and takes nothing. Time is bought in the Special Hunting Zones window.
Special zones →Short of shards for the license? The rebirth window tells where to get them: hunting in Z3 (B+3) or Z4 (A+3), or the L Store at 200,000 adena a shard.
Rebirth →Special Craft keeps materials and stones, talismans and the rest. Weapons, armor, jewelry, Upgrade steps and hats +1…+10 are in the upgrade window (.improve).
Upgrade window →.improve: pick your item and the window shows “Gain +N”, what you need (green if you have it, red if not) and one “Upgrade to +N” button. “Materials + coins” is half of every cost and the other half in Vela Coins, “Coins” is all in Vela Coins at double the price.
VELA windows have an art background instead of black, and runes got a rarity legend.
Windows →The Game Helper and Vela Guide windows are gone. Hunting zones and the raid calendar with teleports are in the separate Hunting Zones window; the auto-hunt wheel has new Comfort and Zones buttons. Commands: .zones, .menu bosses, .menu comfort.
The native mass enchant window works: up to 50 items at once to the level you choose, with ordinary scrolls.
Enchanting →The Shop of Vela displays dollar prices: growth bundles are in the Supplies tab, Vela Shards in Boost. Looks are bought only in the Adornments window. World Trade takes adena or Vela Coins, without fees.
Every 5 minutes of hunting, fighting or travelling give 10 PA points to everyone, not only with premium. Up to 600 a day per account (×1.5 with premium), a new day at 06:30 MSK. Standing in town and offline hunting give nothing.
PA points →The L Store, tab Other: teleport scrolls, life stones for weapons, armor, shields and circlets, spirit ore, Master’s Collection Marks, a Blessing of Growth once a week and the Petals kill effect, one per account. Limits are shared by all heroes of an account.
Goods and prices →.improve or the hero window tab: pick an item and the window shows the next step and its price by the Special Craft recipe (resources, resources and Vela Coins, or Vela Coins only). Two clicks buy it, enchant and element stay within the grade; advancing to a new grade gives a new +0 item. The base item can be made there too.
Merchants with armor life stones sell circlet and shield/sigil stones too. In Special Craft two stones and 1 million adena may give a blessed stone (15%); on a failure one stone comes back.
Recipes →The Vela button (or .menu) opens one page: upcoming events with timers, tasks of the day and nine section icons — skills, runes, rebirth, the Tower, Upgrade, auto hunting, the Doll of Greed, Guild Battle, Noblesse. No more tabs and empty tiles.
The former L Store sells almost everything for adena: first-grade gear, talismans, enchant scrolls, upgrade stones of every kind, the elixir and weekly chests with no limit. Only rare goods are left for L-Coin.
The Store →Every level +1…+5 is a separate item with a “+N” badge and its own stats in the tooltip. Three payment routes at every level: resources, resources and Vela Coins, Vela Coins only. Hats +1…+10 are there too. Giran Seals in recipes are gone.
Upgrade →The seven-boss chain: ordinary A epic → Lv. 4 → Lv. 5 → Lv. 6 → Epic. Advancing requires Upgrade +5, enchant exactly +5 and materials; the new item is +0 and each grade is enchanted anew.
Grades →One point per rebirth — you choose what to improve: forty bonuses in five tabs. No overall or daily cap; after the 100th each one needs hunting in power zones and more Vela Shards. No more mini rebirths.
Rebirth →Alt+X → World Trade: the player market for adena, buy orders and the item price history right in the window; the .wt command. There are no auctions with bids any more.
Points for clan deeds, bids for clan warehouse items, a shop and a log in one window (.dkp).
The enchant window shows one line under the chance, “Failures in a row: 3 · chance bonus +6%”: there is no guarantee, the chance of that item grows by 2 pp per failure up to +10 and 1.5 above. A success comes with effects over the hero.
Enchanting →The Special Hunting Zones button leads to three camps Z3–Z5 with non-stop fights: dozens of monsters, an elite, a mini-boss. Three hours a day per camp.
Farm zones →The bag window works now: the Tattoo Master sells the booster for zone resources and adena, no L-Coin. Dyes and pattern upgrades are with him too.
Hidden Power →Skills in the style of the native Alt+K, the Tower with a season leaderboard, a simple Doll of Greed window with “Enchant to +N”, auto hunting on one page with a Settings button. In PvP skill damage against players is cut by 60% (PvP Resilience), and control and weakening of monsters are limited.

Received Items →Skills (Alt+K) and Runes share one visual system: rows with the grade colour, a card with numbers and the price, one main button. Choosing and comparing is faster.
Find the right window →Every item has a rank with a colour and a name. Upgrade replaces Tempering: no failures, three ways to pay and a weekly cap on Vela Coins. Old Tempering levels were carried over automatically.
Entry depends on rebirths and the previous-grade set at +3. Monsters are tougher but drop materials of their own grade.
Power zones →A hat is its own slot with a small combat bonus and 10 levels. Donor hats share the same stats; cheap ones are made for adena and give 60% of the bonus.
Hats →Hat gallery →Chests for adena with no limit, the theme changes every Monday. The daily L-Coin cap grows with rebirths, from 30 to 60.
