Poring Invasion waves and a new memorial dungeon
Changes
- Poring Invasion: three waves of porings and their cousins, then King Poring. Wave monsters take normal damage and give normal EXP. The last hit on King Poring wins the Costume King Poring Hat, and he drops a rain of account-bound Poring Treasure boxes. The event no longer gives Festival Tokens; the Poring Hunter, next to the Festival Merchant in Prontera, trades 100 Poring Treasures for the hat.
Poring Invasion now runs for 30 minutes on one of four fields: Prontera Fields, Payon Forest, Geffen Field or Sograt Desert. Wave 1 is Porings and Drops, wave 2 Fierce Poporings and Malicious Marins, wave 3 Fallen Angelings, Scary Ghostlings and Possessed Devilings. Each wave ends after 60 kills, and about one kill in five gives you an account-bound Choko Gangjeong (restores 10% HP and SP). Fallen Angelings can drop the Fallen Angel Wing garment, rarely. After wave 3, or 20 minutes in at the latest, King Poring arrives with his full HP. The player who lands the last hit gets the Costume King Poring Hat; if the bag is full, it comes by mail. When he falls, Poring Treasures rain on the ground around him, 8 for each player on the field (40 to 160 in all). Each one opens into one of these: 5 Rainbow Cakes, 5 Acti Potions, 5 Mushroom Pancakes, 7 Light Blue Potions, 3 Yggdrasil Seeds, 3 Grilled Delicious Skewers, 4 Guyak Candies, 2 Pegasus Cotton Candies, 3 Yggdrasil Berries or 30 Light White Potions. Poring Treasures are account-bound. The Poring Hunter, next to the Festival Merchant in Prontera, trades 100 of them for the hat, and the Festival Merchant no longer sells it.

Each wave announces itself in chat. 
The last hit wins the Costume King Poring Hat. 
His treasure falls for everyone on the field. 
100 Poring Treasures buy the hat. - EDDA Somatology Laboratory: a new daily memorial dungeon for parties at base level 170 or higher. Talk to Sierra in Juno, then pick the story (Expedition Mode) or room-by-room monster waves (Battle Mode). Both end in the Morgue against the Unknown Swordsman.
Sierra in Juno sends your party into the memories of the Somatology Laboratory. Every member needs base level 170. The party leader opens the memory and picks one mode for the day: Expedition Mode follows six ambassadors through seven story scenes, and Battle Mode clears four rooms of monster waves. Both end in the Morgue against the Unknown Swordsman. When he falls, every party member inside gets a reward box that opens into one random item. In Expedition Mode, Seyren also gives you 2 Somatology Experimental Fragments if you tell him the truth. You can enter once a day; it resets at 04:00 server time (CET/CEST), and a run lasts up to 120 minutes.

Sierra in Juno opens the lab for your party. 
Battle Mode clears four rooms of monster waves. 
Both modes end in the Morgue. - Attendance: after you claim, the chat says which day of 28 it was and what the next stamp gives. Premium's double reward now comes in a mail titled "Premium x2: day N".
After you claim your daily stamp in the Attendance window, a chat line tells you which day of 28 it was, that the reward is in your mailbox, and what the next stamp gives. Premium players get their second reward in its own mail, titled "Premium x2: day N", with the item listed on an "Attached:" line.

Day 5 of 28, and what tomorrow's stamp gives. - Mail and chat notices: event and shop mails, such as the Poring Hunter's and the Premium double reward, now show a real sender, a short title and an 'Attached:' line. Attendance, reward and shop messages in chat carry their own tag.
Event and shop mails now come from a real sender, such as ArionRO Attendance or Poring Hunter, with a title short enough to read in the mail list, and an "Attached:" line that names what is attached. Chat messages from attendance, rewards and shops start with their own tag, [Attendance], [Reward] or [Shop], so you can tell them apart.

Mails name their sender and what they carry.
