There is a buzz in Dalimond as the townsfolk greet a new arrival. Solistan, an Imperial Recognition Officer, was recently dispatched from Tazoon, and has just completed his journey. Many people are curious as to what has brought him to their town on the Vandus March.
Created Armor and Weapon Dye Kits. Once these kits are crafted, they can be dragged onto pre-crafted items in order to change their color. The formulas for Beginner and Journeyman Armor Dye Kits can be obtained from Sshranu the Alchemist Trainer in Sslanis. Expert Armor and Weapon Dye Kits will be dropped as monster loot.
Blighted Essence has been added to all Withered Aegis monsters, and can be used to construct Blighted Orbs. These Blighted Orbs can then be used to construct Blight Cores.
