July 2014 Patch Notes


Journey to the gates of hell and face a horror from beyond the grave in Vindictus’ Season 2, Episode 4- Part 1, out now!

Terrifying New Bosses


Two new foes have crawled their way into Vindictus, and both are sure to have you waking in the middle of the night, drenched in a cold sweat.

Ulchas is rumored to be an undead warrior or perhaps a demon from the underworld, but whatever he is, his strength is unparalleled. 

Ulchas can summon a sentient blade called an Aquillore to aid him in battle, and can restore his health when wounded, making him one of Vindictus' most challenging bosses. 


Lavasat the Sentinel - Gates of Hell
Lavasat the Sentinel - Gates of Hell
Lavasat is a demonic hound with a body of twisted metal and a heart that pumps molten magma. He can cut mercenaries in two with a flick of his tail, and is protected by towering Hellspikes. You'll have to use your wits and a bit of teamwork to destroy all six spikes before moving in for the kill.


To help you defeat these monstrosities, a special Episode 4 Raid Event is being held from Thursday, July 17 to Wednesday, July 30. During the event period, receive two extra raids against Lavasat and Ulchas. To read more about this and other events, click here


New Ping Meter


To help our players with connectivity, we have introduced ping meters to the Quest Board. Now before setting off on a raid, you can refer to the Quest Board to check a boat's connection relative to your own. Connection speeds are classified by color; please refer to the chart below for details: 

Status (Color)Ping/Latency

  • Blue You may experience light lag
  • Green You may experience moderate lag
  • Yellow You may experience significant lag
  • Orange You may experience severe lag
  • Red Lag will most likely be very severe
  • Black Lag cannot be determined

 New AP Shop

A new store has opened its doors and it's only accepting one form of currency- AP! That's right- now you can use AP to purchase select items, freeing up your wallets while upgrading your mercenary. With the AP Attendance Event, you can stock up on AP and then go nuts at the new store.

To access the shop, speak to NPC Ernmass in Colhen. The AP Shop is only available to players Level 40 and above, and is stocked with the following items:

Item Name - xQuantity | Price (AP)/Purchase Limit
  • Merc Recovery Potions x20 | 100 AP / Daily 3
  • Goddess Grace x1 | 300 AP / Daily 1
  • Goddess Grace (Party) x3 | 1000 AP / Weekly 1
  • Clodagh’s Dye Ampoule x1 | 1000 AP / Weekly 1
  • Enhancement Rune x1 | 5000 AP / Weekly 1

Please note the purchase limitations for each item. For example, you can purchase the 20 pack of Merc Recovery Potions three times a day, but you can only purchase every other item in the shop once per day.

Notes:
  • All items in the AP Shop will be available until the October update. Except for the Enhancement Runes, which will only be available for 2 weeks.
  • Merc Recovery Potions expire after 2 days.
  • All items are untradeable.
  • Restrictions only apply to a single character- meaning if you purchase 1 Dye Ampoule with one of your characters, you can still purchase another with a different character.
  • The AP Shop is currently in beta, and its contents are subject to change. New items will be added at a later date.

Cash Shop Update


New items are also coming to the cash shop. At the Supply Depot you can stock up on even more AP with the AP Package, a fantastic bargain. Over at the Avatar Shop, the call of the wild has turned the mercenaries of Vindictus into jungle beasts- two new inner armors are available, for both male and female characters.

Finally, our most stylish new item: the Biker Avatar costume. Sporting the badge and colors of the V.R.M.C., or Vindictus Rebel Motorcycle Club, this all-leather getup comes in two variants, one with enhanced stats. Put one on and wannabe baddasses will know you really mean business.

It sure is hot this summer. Must be all that hellfire coming from Lavasat's back. Looks like you're gonna need an extinguisher...Be sure to check back with Vindictus Trix for our July Content Review coming soon.

Vindictus: Resources and Fansites Guide

Update: February 13, 2016
In another absolutely dumbfounding move from Nexon executed by way of its most loathed VFM Aquasol - Nexon has decided that FANSITES are not a good addition to the "community" and have banned the mention of them on the forums (with the exception of the Vindictus Wiki which has historically provided zero valuable or accurate information since its inception). 
Feel Free to air your concerns to the Vindictus Management team email: community@nexon.net

If you know of a good Vindictus related website you can send it to me via email at trixologist@gmail.com. Even though I no longer maintain this site, I WILL make changes to the list. Please do not send guild sites or personal character/account specific pages or requests.

Are you a new player, interested in the game or 
even a returning Vet? 

You may be at a loss for where to find information. I've put together some useful information, resources and awesome Fansites that you can use to get the low down on all things Vindictus.

Regionally Operated


DevCat created  Mabinogi Heroes (MH) as a physics based, free to play action MMO. Distributed worldwide by Nexon, Vindictus is the Western publication of the game in Europe and North America.

Most games do have IP blocks that prevent access from unauthorized regions.
Find the version that is best for you.
Tip: Let your browser translate for you.

Because the game is regionally managed around the world, we have the opportunity to receive updates and news directly from Korea (Home of DevCat our developer) and other regions.

Players can expect to have a 2-6 month delay for content, updates, patches and new items to make their way to our version. Other things will be region specific and not make their way to each branch.

    VindictusDB  is a "complete database of everything in the brutally elegant world of Vindictus. Updated with every patch with individual, detailed pages along with advanced search and filtering options."

    Use the DB as a site for item descriptions, recipes, stats, set compilations and comparisons, scrolls - literally everything in the game.

    Vindictus Wiki Vindictus Wiki is an encyclopedia database that contains everything you need to know about Vindictus. You'll find anything from lore, to in-game items, skills, and expertise.
