        <li>Receive a Creepy Pumpkin Roll game board at first login

            <li>Up to three additional rolls per day may be purchased from the shop

    <li>The Kanavan Colosseum is open for BATTLE!
    <ul>
        <li>Kanavan Colosseum is a world premiere system of competitive PvP ranking that utilizes skill-based ratings similar to the "King of the Hill" tournament.
        <li>This feature may only be accessed from the Colosseum server, a special new server in which there is no shop, no dungeon, no chat, just BATTLE!
        <li>To enhance the competition and increase the pool of available competitiors, this server will only be open from 1 PM to 10 PM PST/PDT each day. However, during this open beta, the server will be available ALL THE TIME for testing, so get in there and BATTLE! (notice a recurring theme?)
        <li>To play, click the BATTLE! button; this will place you in a room with a randomly seleced opponent. You will not be able to see your opponent's character or stats.
        <li>All matches are fought on a random map with a format similar to tag match which requires players to select three characters (you can pick the same character multiple times though).
        <li>Ratings will be reset every week, with prizes given to the best gladiators and gladiatrices.
        <li>For this inaugural event, ratings will NOT be reset, so to recognize the achievement of being on top after TWO weeks, extra-special prizes have been arranged:

        <li>SP EXP is given for completion of Dungeons or PvP matches.
        <li>Wearing an Expert's Skill Ring provides 30% bonus SP EXP
        <li>Using a Skill Key unlocks all the skills available for that MP tier.
        <li>Deleting a skill requires one SP Reset Card
        <li>Skill Set 1 &amp; 2 allow you to set up two different configurations for your skill tree, but be advised that both sets count towards your Max SP usage for the job. </li>
    </ul>
    <li>Seal Breaker Gacha system has been added!
    <ul>
        <li>Receive 2 Seal Breaker Scrolls on your first login between now and August 18th.
        <li>Gems of three different qualities for each character may be found randomly in all dungeons.
        <li>Breaking the seal on these gems requires a number of Seal Breaker Scrolls.
        <li>Collecting an entire set of Seal Breaker Gacha items from any one type of gem will reward the player with the Abingdon Pet Card and a number of Royal VIP Exchange Coupons.
        <li>6 Royal VIP Exchange coupons can be exchanged for 1 Royal VIP Badge
        <li>The color of a gem determines the character it is suitable for.
        <li>It is not possible to receive duplicate "rare" items.
        <li>See the following chart for details of each type of gem:
        <ul>
            <li>Worn-Out Sealed [Color] Gem: 1 Seal Breaker Scroll to unlock, provides level 20 "Baron Guardian" equipment, collecting an entire set provides 2 Royal VIP Exchange Coupons
            <li>High Quality Sealed [Color] Gem: 2 Seal Breaker Scrolls to unlock, provides level 40 "Duke Guardian" equipment, collecting an entire set provides 3 Royal VIP Exchange Coupons

        </ul>
        <li>A variety of common items may be found instead of rares when breaking the seal on gems, the quantity/duration/quality of these items depends on the grade of Gem opened
        <li>For example, Premium Quality Sealed Gems provide 5 Champion Mode tickets, High Quality Sealed Gems provide Nutrients IV (7 Days), Worn-Out Sealed Gems cannot provide Pet Rename Card.
        <ul>
            <li>Nutrients IV (3/7/11 Days)
            <li>(1/2/3) Pet Food

            <li>(0/0/1) Pet Rename Card </li>
        </ul>
        <li>With Reinforcement Boosters, using a higher-grade Gem can provide a greater quantity of lower-quality Reinforcement Boosters instead of a single higher-quality Reinforcement Booster. For example, a High Quality Sealed Gem could provide 1 Reinforcement Booster 10% or 2 Reinforcement Booster 5%.
        <li>Click the "OK" button on your Gacha Coin Exchange Tickets to automatically credit them to your Gacha Coin total. </li>
