Shanda Invitational Tourney Registrations Extended

The registrations for the Malaysian/Philippines/Singapore National Qualifiers have been extended:

Additionally, in response to the significant feedback that we have received regarding the requirements for this tournament, we have decided to amend the rules to accommodate the teams that are interested in participating but who lack valid passports.
The amendments are as follows:
a)      Teams are now allowed to register and participate without a Valid Passport

However, only teams with valid passport credentials will be able to represent their respective countries in the Grand Finals that are held in Singapore.
In the event that a team without valid passport credentials makes it as a National Qualifiers Finalist, the 1^st Runner Up / 2^nd Runner Up of that particular country’s Qualifiers which has submitted valid passport credentials will be called upon to represent that country in the Grand Finals instead.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Each of the Finalists (regardless of their respective countries and brackets) is required to participate in the Grand Finals in Singapore. Any teams that fail to attend will be immediately disqualified and have all their prizes completely relinquished.
Please note that the registrations may close earlier if all 8 Teams of each category have registered with full documents provided.
May the best team win!
*The organizers reserve the right to change, amend or withdraw any of the Rules and Regulations as they deem fit, without prior notice. All changes in rules, if any, will be reflected on the website accordingly.

Runtime Errors after Patch v.46

Dear Players,

We are aware that some of you are experiencing certain errors while trying to load the game after the recent patch (v.46).
Example:

We have found that the primary cause of these errors is due to the use of modification paks which interfere with the game’s files causing the client to become corrupted.
We would like to remind all players that use of unauthorized third-party programs and any modifications made to the game, or game files is illegal under Dragon Nest SEA’s End-User License Agreement (EULA).
Players experiencing errors such as the above may wish to try the following steps to resolve the issue:
1. Download the latest game client from: http://dn.cherrycredits.com/download.php
2. Uninstall the current Dragon Nest SEA client
3. Delete all related Dragon Nest SEA files and folders
4. Clear the registry of all related Dragon Nest SEA files
5. Re-install the fresh copy of the latest game client
Note: Please ensure that your anti-virus/firewall programs are not blocking Dragon Nest SEA. You should add the entire Dragon Nest SEA folder into the exception list. Also ensure that the parental control settings of certain anti-virus programs (like ESET) are not interfering with the game.

[Guide] Enhancing 101 Just for you

Look, so there are plenty who whine about enhancing and breaking.
Everyone knows (or should) that
+7 = 45% to succeed
+8 = 40% to succeed
+9 = 35% to succeed
+10 = 30% to succeed, and so on
How can you whine about failing? the chances to fail are more than half! you should be grateful that luck even gets you there (for those who went above +8.) When you enhance, you should have the mindset of knowing it will fail, and hence be grateful when it succeeds.
It is normal for failing consecutively if the Fail rate is higher than 50%. every enhancement is rolled seperately. You dont expect to succeed the next one just cause you failed 5 in a row. System rolls fair, it does not owe you a next success cause you failed 5 in a row.
Also, heres how the failing works:
Assuming i am enhancing a certain Rare equipment.
I try for +8. 40% to succeed, 60% to fail.
System rolled part of the 60%, therefore i failed. System rerolls again. 25% it breaks. Remaining 75% is split equally.
37.5% nothing happens.
37.5% it degrades a level.

Assuming i am enhancing a certain Epic equipment.
I try for +8. 40% to succeed, 60% to fail.
System rolled part of the 60%, therefore i failed. System rerolls again. 25% it breaks. Remaining 75% is split equally.
25% nothing happens.
25% it degrades 1 level.
25% it degrades 2 levels.
This is enhancing, guys. Take it or not, this is how it is.
Heres a scenario for those whining about how jellies accelerate level degradement.

Assuming i am enhancing a certain Epic equipment.
I try for +8. 40% to succeed, 60% to fail.
System rolled part of the 60%, therefore i failed. System rerolls again. This time, it does NOT break. so 25% is added to that total pool to split.
33.6% nothing happens.
33.6% it degrades 1 level.
33.6% it degrades 2 levels.
Please, stop saying jellies add to degradement. Probability is Probability.

Last but not least, for those who whine about their Stuff breaking.
25% to break.
Myth:  1 out of 4 equips will break.
TRUTH: 1 out of 4 enhancements break. Your sword failed 3 times at +7? Be grateful if the next one fails but does not break.
Chances of 1 enhancement in a row does not break - 75%
Chances of 2 enhancement in a row does not break - 56.25%
Chances of 3 enhancement in a row does not break - 42.18%
Chances of 4 enhancement in a row does not break - 31.64% Here, there is a 68.36% (yes wtf, 68.36%!) chance that out of 4 enhancements, one of them breaks. And you thought 25% was just a small deal.


Your friend went from +6 to +12 without fail? Heres how lucky he was.

He was having a 82.3% chance to break. Real underdog.
0.0945% was the chance to manage that feat. Convert that number = For every 1058 players attempting to enhance from +6 to +12, only 1 achieves this.

Conclusion: Be grateful if your enhancements only fails.


Probability is Probability. If you choose think the game is fooling with you, it cant be helped then. There is no "secret" to enhancement. I tried to help here. =)
