So we are finally ready to start rolling out a beta test for the long previewed Soul Forge, the system that lets you create/manage a new form of equipment, Soul Eaters. However, before we get to that, we’ve hit another major milestone! 15 YEARS!!! For 15 years we have been up with a 99.999% uptime. We’re older than all but a handful of mmorpgs and I couldn’t have done it without all of you! So thank you all for growing and supporting this server through all the years. So without further ado here are the details for how we’re gonna celebrate it this year!

Increased Gift Coin Donation Rate and Mini Game Donation Packs

All donations during the months of July and August will be at the bonus rate of 25 GC per dollar donated (for non package donations), as always this can be boosted further by making larger donation amounts. You can use the Donation Calculator to see these rate changes and find out exactly what gifts you will get to thank you for these donations. For those who donated before these rates were applied during the month of July, we will manually deliver the difference to your character.

We have created 2 new event donation packages for the anniversary arcade, these have bonus plays for the arcade games released (more on that later). You can see these packages at the Donation Packages page.

Additionally there are 2 new event donation packages for the Soul Forge release that are very limited in the number allowed to donate for as they contain soul cores and abstract cores to help give you a jump start in the hatchery. More details on this to come later in this post.

The Arcade is back!

We’ve brought back a whole slew of mini games with updated prizes! The Anniversary GC Wheel, Treasures of Insolence, Flip To Win, Lindvior’s Mini Games, Fafurion’s Mini Games, Valakas’ Mini Games and Antharas’ Mini Games. You can access these on the L1.5 Arcade page. Added to these mini games are Soul Cores, Abstract Cores, Soul Fuel as well as 15Y NFT prizes which can be claimed for the new Anniversary NFT’s (more on that in just a sec).

15th Anniversary NFTs

So the past few years, I’ve been creating NFT’s to celebrate anniversaries and it has gone pretty well, so I’m keeping up the tradition! This year we have 4 brand new NFTs with all new functions.

Soul Forge - Hatchery Slot: Opens an additional slot for hatching soul cores, in the Soul Forge’s Hatchery. Only the first one will work, any additional ones in your wallet have no effect.

Rune Stone - Physical Damage: Passively increases physical damage for all characters on the wallet linked account. These runes may stack for increased damage.

Rune Stone - Magical Damage: Passively increases magical damage for all characters on the wallet linked account. These runes may stack for increased damage.

Rune Stone - Critical Damage: Passively increases critical damage for all characters on the wallet linked account. These runes may stack for increased bonus.

These are obtainable by winning the “NFT Claim - 15Y” item in the mini games and sending a PM to zajako on Discord to request one in exchange. There will also be various contests throughout the rest of the summer in which case you’ll be able to win them.

Soul Forge Beta

After 2 years of development I’m finally ready to release the Soul Eater system for beta. There will be bugs and please make sure to report and definitely not exploit these bugs. There are also some features that are on hold and will be released later. There is a lot to this system and there will be many questions, please ask these questions. Additionally I’ve put a lot of extra time into building tools to make restoring items eaten by the soul eaters easy so that I can undo any mistakes made. If you need me to do this, contact me @zajako on discord. With that out of the way, I’ll give a brief explaination of each part to this system and a list of related items so that those who have not been reading the #previews channel on discord are caught up.

What is the Soul Forge

The soul forge is a web based section of the game for hatching soul cores and managing soul eaters. It is located at l15server.com/forge.html and has many sections to it that have different purposes.

What is a Soul Eater

Soul Eaters are the next evolution of soul equipment. They are living weapons, armors and accessories that not only gain soul experience from killing enemies, but require you to feed them soul equipment to provide them their growth and shape their stats and abilities. Soul Eaters have up to 7 slots for level ups, between 2 - 4 traits and if its a weapon up to 10 slots for skills.

Soul Forge - Hatchery

This is the first section of the Soul Forge, the Hatchery. It’s purpose is to allow you to hatch soul and abstract cores after certain amounts of time. To hatch a core, make sure its stored to the site claim system by double clicking it in the game or if won as a prize it should already be there. After that click on the item socket in one of the hatchery slots to bring up the menu to add a core. It will then show that it is undergoing the hatching process which takes a random duration that has ranges based on the core type. At first there will be a limit to 3 sockets, the other sockets will be unlock-able in the future. Upon hatching you can click the button to see the results. The results can be a range of items that include soul eaters, cores and fuel.

Soul Forge - Foundry

This section of the soul forge is for after you’ve obtained a soul eater. Make sure you claim it from the site claim system to one of your characters, then in the soul forge select that character at the bottom right. After doing that it should show up in the foundry. To be able to use and feed items to a soul eater it must first have its name cast into it, this is the purpose of the foundry. Click the Cast Name button next to the soul eater you have and type in a name for it from which it will then be moved to the Armory with between 2-4 traits on it. In the future the Armory will be able to re-cast soul eaters to allow you to re-roll your traits and/or rename them.

Soul Forge - Armory

So now you have it, a Soul Eater that you’ve named, it shows up in the Armory as long as you have the correct character selected in the bottom right. Now its time to feed them! Each Soul eater will have 3 buttons on the right side of it. Digest Item, Swallow Item and a Info button.

The info button shows you your soul eater’s information, its traits as well as its levels and skills.

The Digest button allows you to feed items to it to provide it with stats that it can gain on level ups.

The Swallow Item button allows you to feed items to it to provide it with Skills aka procs if its a weapon.

More to come

There’s a lot more information to be provided about this system so I’ll be making a much more focused and detailed guide at a later date. Please ask questions and if you make a mistake please reach out for support and I’ll be glad to help undo things while its in beta.

Also again please report any bugs and do not exploit them. If you’re unsure if its a bug, please ask.

Good Luck, Have Fun,
GM Zajako

Just a reminder, this coming Saturday at 7PM EST is a spawn event! These events are crazy fun, with enemies for every level range to kill and is custom ran by GM Zajako, you won't wanna miss this awesome fun event and usually they go for a few hours, so even if you can't be there at the start, you can come in when you get the chance! Hope to see you all there!

We're gonna do an ingame spawn event on Saturday the 18th of May at 7PM EST, should be a lot of fun, I hope to see you guys there!

Time may not always be on my side, but its on your side with this Fundraising event! The Temporal event is back with chests spawning containing items from the past, present and if you’re lucky, the future! The funds raised by this event will allow me to keep focus on finishing the new Soul Forge system so that you guys can create your very own Soul Eaters!

This system will allow you to temper and fuse empty cores into soul cores. With these soul cores you can place them in a pod in the hatchery and watch as they hatch into one of many different items, including the possibility of Soul Eater weapons and armors.

Once you have your very first soul eater, you will be able to then brand it with a unique name and begin to feed it soul weapons and armors to truly customize it to your liking giving it levels and skills up to a maximum of level 100!

This system has been in development for over a year now and is getting close to being ready, so please donate and help fund the release of this new feature! There are multiple parts to this event so read below more information about them.

Temporal Donation Event

This is a donation event that generates tickets for every dollar you donate for a drawing with amazing prizes. Tickets are gained Starting April 1st and the prizes will be drawn the first week of July.

During the months of April and May you’ll receive 2 tickets (or chances to win) per dollar donated. (Even if you donated before this post it still counts!)

During the month of June you’ll receive 1 ticket (or chance to win) per dollar donated.

See this topic for the list of prizes (including the chance at a soul eater!)

Increased standard donation rate

The rate during the event period will be 25 gift coins per dollar donated for non package donations! This can be increased up to 100% by donating larger amounts at the same time! The rate is increased at donations of $500, $1000, $2000 and $3000. Use the donation calculator to find out exactly how many gc you get for the donation you make!

New Event Donation Packages

There are four new donation packages with a wide range of event items in them to help you get the most out of the in game temporal chest event! Check them out here:

Temporal Chest Event

Temporal Chests spawn randomly when you kill monsters above level 65. These chests come in 7 different flavors each with different rates and goodies to win. There’s a catch though! You must have a key to open them! Each chest has its own type of key required to open it. You can get these keys through Ives or from chests at the end of daily instances. Temporal chests will also disappear 10 minutes after they appear, so you better open them quickly!

The chests have been updated with some new drops including Empty Cores and even some Soul Cores which are like eggs that may very well hatch into your very first Soul Eater when the system releases! You can see the contents of each chest by clicking the images below:

The keys used to open these chests may be obtained from different methods read the details for each.

Temporal Key: Syndicate - This key opens the Syndicate chests. It is the most common key and is obtainable from opening the chests at the end of an instance, using gc with the Ives Npc to obtain directly or by using Temporal Key Boxes to obtain a random key.

Temporal Key: Daazen - This key opens the Daazen chests. It is an uncommon key and is obtainable from opening the chests at the end of an instance, using gc with the Ives Npc to obtain directly or by using Temporal Key Boxes to obtain a random key.

Temporal Key: Sayjix - This key opens the Sayjix chests. It is a rare key and is obtainable from opening the chests at the end of an instance, using gc with the Ives Npc to obtain directly or by using Temporal Key Boxes to obtain a random key.

Temporal Key: Empire - This key opens the Empire chests. It is a very rare key and is obtainable from opening Sayjix chests or by using Temporal Key Boxes to obtain a random key.

Temporal Key: Zumbalari - This key opens the Zumbalari chests. It is a legendary key and is obtainable from opening Empire chests or by using Temporal Key Boxes to obtain a random key.

Temporal Key: Silver Dragon - This key opens the Silver Dragon chests. It is a legendary key and is obtainable from opening Zumbalari chests or by using Temporal Key Boxes to obtain a random key.

Temporal Key: Gold Dragon - This key opens the Gold Dragon chests. It is a legendary key and is obtainable from opening Zumbalari and Silver Dragon chests or by using Temporal Key Boxes to obtain a random key.

Here are some other related Temporal Event Items:

Temporal Key Box - This box contains a random temporal key to open up the chests. These are obtainable from Ives via the codex or talking to him in -shop! Opening one of these can give you the extra rare Empire, Zumbalari, Silver Dragon and Gold Dragon keys as well!

Blessed Temporal Key Box - This box contains a random temporal key for the top 5 temporal boxes, not including any of the 2 most common keys. These are obtainable from Ives via the codex or talking to him in -shop! Opening one of these can give you the extra rare Zumbalari, Silver Dragon and Gold Dragon keys as well!

Temporal Chest Summoner - This item links into the temporal network and pulls out a random temporal chest! This includes the extra rare Silver and Gold Dragon! Once spawned these chests will still require a key to open. You can obtain these from Ives when he has them in stock.

Blessed Temporal Chest Summoner - This item links into the temporal network and pulls out a random temporal chest from one of the top 5 factions! This includes the extra rare Silver and Gold Dragon! Once spawned these chests will still require a key to open. You can obtain these from Ives when he has them in stock.

New Soul Forge Items

Some new items for the upcoming soul forge system have been added to these chests as mentioned above. If you use one of these items in the game, it will transfer it to the site inventory system directly to the soul forge. It may seem like the item went away but rest assured it will be in the soul forge when it opens up, ready for use! If you would like to keep track of the items you’ve obtained from the event, you can abstain from using them to keep them in your in game inventory. If you’re concerned about inventory space though, just send them to the forge! Also a forewarning, as this content is unreleased many of these details are subject to change as they are finished being developed and released. Please keep that in mind.

Empty Core S1 - S5

These items are the raw material used to create Soul Cores, the egg like objects that have the potential to grow into a living, breathing (and more importantly EATING) weapon, armor or accessory. These will be tempered at the soul forge at the Anvil station and higher stages are more likely to succeed in becoming a soul core or when fused with an existing soul core, upgrading it to a higher tier. You can also recycle undesired soul cores and soul eaters back into empty cores using the Crucible station.

Soul Cores

With the release of the Soul Forge there will be a total of 10 soul core types. This event will only allow you to obtain 4 of those 10 (however your empty cores may become one of the others when you temper them at the anvil !). Soul Cores are placed in pods at the hatchery and after a specific amount of time they will hatch into different items or into a soul eater if you are lucky! The soul eaters they can become are based on the soul core you hatch and will have specific passive properties depending on which type.

Currently Obtainable:

Soul Core - Venom
Soul Core - Frost
Soul Core - Blaze
Soul Core - Elmorian

Coming with Soul Forge Launch:

Soul Core - Energy
Soul Core - Infinite
Soul Core - Mystic
Soul Core - Temporal
Soul Core - Gaia
Soul Core - Shadow

In the future as development unfolds for each of these Soul Cores and their designated Soul Eaters, I plan to release more information about them. You can see all current previews of the Soul Forge in the #previews channel on discord. There are already many videos posted of the current progress of the Soul Forge and if you scroll far back enough some previews of the soul eaters obtained from some of those cores.

Lastly I would like to say thank you to all of you who have supported and continue to support the development of L1.5, this game truly exists because of you all!

Good Luck,
Have Fun,
GM Zajako

Valakas' Cinder Staff - XR has had its levels chart updated to reflect being XR and now has stats for levels 41-50 https://www.l15server.com/show/valakas-cinder-staff---xr_450377.html

Easter is once again on the brink of ruin! Tired of the tyranny of of the Bunny King and Queen, A Ultra Cool Bunny has rose up in the background rallying any bunny that will listen to it (Being pretty cool, it wasn’t hard to get a lot of bunnies!) to take over easter! They raided the stash of Easter eggs and sent them flying all over Talking Island.

Event Details

You are tasked with the goal of hunting the the bunnies of Talking Island and getting the eggs back! They can drop different colored Easter eggs that are worth different amounts of points. These points can be turned in by expanding the event menu on the right and choosing "Turn In Items". It will then consume all Easter Egg items (for this event) and reward you with points and items you have earned by accumulating those points. Additionally it will reward you randomly with buffs according to the eggs you turned in. These Buffs stack with each other and themselves, allowing you to increase the duration. Furthermore the buffs save when you log out and will restore themselves when you log back in.

Point Prize List

To view the prize list for the event you can click here: Easter Points Prize List

Easter Blessing Buffs

These buffs are obtained randomly when turning in easter items. They are saved when you logout and the timers stack when turning in. You can also get these buffs from using the Mystery Easter Candy (mentioned later in this post), however the candy will not increase your buff timer if over one hour, while the turn in bonus will.

Bunny Egg Blessing - Green: This buff adds +10 Battlegrounds PvP Defence
Bunny Egg Blessing - Blue: This buff adds +10 Battlegrounds PvP Damage
Bunny Egg Blessing - Red: This buff adds +1 Point for each Event Point item turned in
Bunny Egg Blessing - Purple: This buff adds +10 Battlegrounds PvP Base Damage

2024 Bunny Loyalty Gear

So every year, the Bunny gear is rolled out with fresher and newer versions. This year is no different! You can craft this gear using the Frintezza’s Seamstress npc located in SKT and Aden.You can craft the base bunny items using materials gained from hunting on Event Talking Island. These base items can then be used to craft or be upgraded to loyalty items, using Loyalty Seal - 2024. You can get these seals during the event from Ives’ shop. Here are some major changes in the Loyalty Bunny items this year:

• All new loyalty gear has an additional 2 soul levels
• Levels give increased amounts of PEN/RES for each item
• Levels give increased HP and stats for each item
• Levels 31- 47 DO NOT require Limit Breaks to level up.
• All new Icons to make them match!
• New shorter name to reduce clutter in player configs

Here is the list of Loyalty Items added this year, click on them for more details:

Event Items

Mystery Easter Candy - This candy when consumed gives you a random Bunny Egg Blessing. It will not increase the buff timer beyond the 1 hour it gives. If your buff timer for the buff it gives is less than one hour, it will become 1 hour. If it is more than one hour, it will not change it. You can use this item as many times as you would like until you get the desired bunny buff. Just try not to get an upset tummy! Ives has these in his shop for those interested!

Loyalty Seal - 2024 - This item can be used to upgrade base bunny equipment into 2024 Loyalty bunny equipment that can be leveled up and has loads of benefits. You can get these from Ives.

Bunny Bag - This bag contains a random material to craft bunny gear. It also has a chance to give a Mystery Easter Candy. These can be obtained by turning in points or directly from Ives’ shop.

Green Easter Egg - This Easter egg is dropped by the bunnies on Talking Island. It rewards you with one point and can trigger the Green Easter Blessing Buff.

Other Changes

Most of the mini games in the L1.5 Arcade ( https://www.l15server.com/arcade.html ) will be closing down on Monday March 25th and resetting all related items/points/etc for future runs. So be sure to use up all the free plays, tokens, marks, etc before they are removed. The hearts mini game is not currently effected by this though and will be ending with the Valentine's Day event as scheduled. Easter Event should be releasing on Monday as well.

Good Luck!
Have Fun!

Hello! Happy Valentine’s Day everyone. I’ve brought back the events from the previous years as well as a new permanent feature that is in beta.

New Feature: HoloDeck (beta)

A new system has been added to allow private secure grinding sessions! When you enter the holodeck you can find the npc Gene the Holodeck Controller who will allow you to select which zone you want to have monsters spawn from. Monsters will then spawn within the room allowing you to collect drops, gain exp and sxp similar to as you would in the regular zone.

• Drop, Exp and Sxp amounts are similar to normal zone monsters
• Spawn Rates are usually slightly higher than normal zone monsters and don’t wait for you to finish killing a monster to spawn the next one
• Monsters will despawn if you do not kill them fast enough
• Hunting in the holodeck requires zone time specific to the holodeck.
• You get 1 hour of zone time each day for this area free
• You can add more holodeck time by using Holodeck Zone Time Booster - 1 hour which can be obtained from Yates in -shop at a discounted rate while the system is in beta.
• Bosses can spawn in the holodeck if you are in the zone long enough. Currently the spawn rate is similar to the real boss and resets if you leave the zone or log out. This will be changed in the future to keep track of how long you’ve been in the holodeck and spawn the boss based on that or another method if I come up with a better solution.

As of the time of this post following hunting areas are supported by the holodeck:

• Land of Beginnings (4 areas):
  • Goblin
  • Orc
  • Lycan
  • Undead
• Blazing Swamp
• Isle of Prayer
• Sky Gardens (4 Areas):
  • Fire Zone
  • Water Zone
  • Earth Zone
  • Wind Zone
• The Devil’s Blade (3 areas):
  • Deck 1
  • Deck 2
  • Deck 3
• The Underworld (5 areas):
  • Resistance Tunnels
  • Under Wilds
  • Giant’s Grave
  • Lake Overlook
  • Menzoberranzan
• Events (1 area):
  • Valentine’s Day

More areas will be added over time. Please provide feedback about this system as a reply to this post on the boards as I will be looking to fix bugs and add new features overtime.
