Lugh Lamhfada Update
With the continued story, a new battle area ascending to the peak of Ben Chenner and a new Raid Vindictus Gold, Chapter 1 of Season 3 ends with a bang as Lugh Lamhfada takes the field.
Season 3 - Episode 4
The fighting over Ben Chenner continues. Soldiers continue their way up the mountain, escorting mages, scholars and priests, but even as fewer come back down, no casualties are ever reported... and the Royal Army is only spurred on by their 'flawless victories'. This bizarre curse must be stopped before there are no soldiers left to fight. The search for a solution leads only further up the mountain of Ben Chenner... but the fighting only grows as you get closer to the peak.
New Raid: Lugh Lamhfada
Lost to history and wielding the mythical sword Fragarach, Lugh Lamhfada seeks retribution against those who have forgotten his glory and disregarded his honor. Will you have the courage to face the lost hero and at long last put his spirit to rest?
Lugh Lamhfada is a powerful warrior, but he's no master swordsman. Between his own magic and the unfathomable power of Fragarach, he has no need for finesse in his attacks. He instead uses quick bursts of teleportation to surprise his opponents with overpowering blows. Lugh can also pin a foe to the ground, making them vulnerable to his attacks if not defended in time.
Fragarach isn't Lugh Lamhfada's only weapon, however. Periodically during the fight, Lugh will rise into the air and bombard the area with Tathlums, mystical orbs that will explode violently... but they can also be collected to negate their explosion and give you a much needed edge against the ancient warrior.
Those that manage to overcome Lugh Lamhfada's teleporting attacks and collection of magical attacks will find components and the recipes for a new set of items. This Cloth armor set is crafted through the Composite system, but the Lugh Lamhfada keystone items can only be found by defeating the ancient warrior himself or through the new Lugh Lamhfada Battle Box.

Bow and Blade Update
Bow and Blade Update
April brings another update to Vindictus, and this time it's Kai and Vella's turn to learn some new tricks. This update will also bring a new and improved User Interface, a massive slate of balance changes, bug fixes, other game improvements and more! Read on for all the upcoming changes in the Bow and Blade Update!
The Master Archer Improved
Kai is Vindictus Gold only purely ranged character, pelting enemies with arrows, bolts and explosives without getting into the messy business of a melee. But just because he's already a lethal warrior doesn't mean he can't learn a few more tricks...
Bow Skills
Kai's original weapon may be his most fearsome. The classic bow and arrow, fired with expert precision by a master marksman, has pinned countless Fomors to the wall before now. That said, there were a few gaps in Kai's abilities, so two new skills have been added to give the marksman a boost to his legendary evasiveness and a new massive attack...

New and Improved User Interface
There's more here than a few new tricks for Vella and Kai, however. The Bow and Blade Update brings a new User Interface to Vindictus with a new key feature: Movable windows. Most menus, windows and HUD elements can be moved around simply by clicking and dragging, giving nearly total freedom in customizing the interface layout to your liking.
You can also alter the display of the menu buttons in the bottom-left corner of the screen, either through dragging the icons around with your mouse, or outright removing some by right-clicking. You can also find additional UI settings to customize to your heart's content in the Options menu.
More changes have been made to the chat menu as well. With an option for a darker chat background, easier customization of the channel menus and more, we've taken the improvements to the Chat window a step further to make chatting with your friends even easier.
Garter Plate Outfit and More
The Bow and Blade Update has brought a wealth of changes to Vindictus, but it's not just balance changes ahead. We've got new packages, new inner armor, new hairstyles and new deals! Most importantly, we're introducing the most intimidating Outfitters Vindictus has ever seen – the Garter Plate Sets!
Check it all out at the Garter Plate Outfit and More post.
Bow and Blade Update Events
Vella, Kai, UI Updates and new items aren't the only things the Bow and Blade Update has brought us. We've got brand new events, be they big and bold, simple and strong or completely insane, but they're all worth enjoying.
Check all the events out in the Bow and Blade Update Events post.
Balance Changes and Bug Fixes
The Bow and Blade Update is so big, we need to split it into four parts! This update has brought forth a wealth of changes to Vindictus, including balance changes to every character and fixes to dozens of issues.

teach you vindictus Enhance equipment +15
Equipment to Enhance the Raiders: teach you how to Enhance the equipment +15
1 do not use the props in the mall before Enhanceing to +5
2. Do not continuously use mall Enhance guaranteed props, always try at intervals of 30 minutes or one hour of time to try to Enhance vindictus gold (personally, I find this can increase your chances of Enhanceing, but this may just for me)
3 rapid reinforcement so you won't have time to doubt yourself
4 Enhance the time can be used offline and then on-line method (to disrupt the probability of Computing)
5 try to cancel, so you can buffer after you start .vindictus gold
6 once you have been waiting for some time after you successfully from the +7 to the +8 do not stop, continue to Enhance. If you fail 3 times in a row, please take a rest today. You will never force yourself.
7 do not buy more than 5 in order to Enhance the base on the ground a group, it looks like you will reduce the probability of not know what reason. buy vindictus gold He seems to always look like the last one, or the last second to Enhance the props when the success of
Add: is your first on-line time to Enhance the probability is the highest, generally is the case, remember the first day when on-line, taboo: never a day to come off the assembly line to Enhance, basic die miserably.
Article 2: avoid by all means is not due to enhanced failure, and continue to sink, or deeper, that is, for example, today you Enhance + 4, + 5 and + 4, + 3, + 3, + 4, + 3, this words, today's teenagers are not Enhanceed, then rest, do not believe you can try.
Third: use your Enhanceed weapons to brush a few times to Enhance, and then come back to Enhance the relative success rate can be improved.
Fourth: don't because of the failure of multiple and continuous reinforcement, or you will lose more. If 1 days to Enhance the +6 continuous reinforcement 2 times on the +8, do not hesitate to continue to basically be able to go on 10, if the middle of the failure or fall, the recommended line after the failure probability, or tomorrow to Enhance.
Above Raiders: apply +11 red +15.
I hope everyone will be able to Enhance the equipment to +15
