Pendoria's Recent Changes Explained

I've seen a lot of confusion around Pendoria and its latest updates recently, I figured it was time to release an unofficial news post to hopefully lessen both the tension and the confusion.

Pendoria Donating To Charity!
Xortrox explained this one really well, so I'll quote him, but I figured it deserved a mention.

In the light of breast cancer awareness month we will be donating 50% of all income from rhodium purchases to a breast cancer charity. (link below)

The charity chosen fights for supporting young victims of breast cancer by supplying welfare measures like rehabilitation, or providing economical support to victims problems with the cost for treatment or medicine. For those interested in everything they do and offer, you can check out this link:

We hope this will have a positive impact for the Pendoria community and that we can continue doing this in the future.

The breast cancer awareness charity donations will be counting for the month of October. And of course in addition there is an event 4-11th of October as well for this purpose. The event schedule is currently not ordered by date but it is listed.

This has been modified to fix Xortrox's many errors.

Gear Upgrades Are Getting Replaced 
Gear itself will remain the same, however the upgrade feature which added that little +# (eg. +20) to the end is getting replaced with a similar feature. This replacement upgrade is a personal upgrade tied to accounts as opposed to tied to the gear, as now you are upgrading your equipment slots as opposed to the equipment itself.

For a period of one month whatever has been upgraded higher will be the one in effect, the old feature or the new one, after that only the new one will work.

Small Note: Gear upgrades, both before and after have never effected encampment and still don't.

Little Edit: Karubo's ROI sheet has been updated for slots; http://pendcalc.karubo.de/

Golden Cogs
Golden Cogs are a new item being added to the game that possess an extremely confusing drop rate (not effected by any drop boosts and starting at 1 every 5,000 actions). These golden cogs can be exchanged to the server for 5k Spare Parts, therefore setting a base value, as they will be able to be traded via market.

Golden Cogs will be required by the new gear slot upgrades feature to upgrade your weapon slot over level 300, which is equivalent to current gear upgrade +30.

Here's the officially released costs in Golden Cogs;

- 1 Cogs are required per level from 300+ (301 = 1, 302 = 2, etc.)

This used to be 10x larger but Maria changed her mind.

As Maria seemed to leave out, they will be required for all slots, even for TSers.

New Outskirt Buildings
4 new buildings are being added to the guild outskirts, each one of these will add a 1% modifier to all of the guild member's corresponding encampment stat.

Battle Nerfs & TS XP Changes
I talked about this in my last post, it contains a ton of reasoning, graphs, numbers, and cold hard math - if you're interested here it is;
