It turns out we know a fair bit already, but you have to dig a little to find the various pieces of information, and I want to thank Fullneo for the work he has done so far in digging some of this up. It helps that the Korean version of the game already has the Tibet map so let me show it to you.


Sorry it's so small but that's the best we've got so far.We can see 3 villages on that map and one really large structure that is probably an in-game version of the Potala Palace in Tibet. The wikipedia has an interesting write up on the palace, so I've included a link.

You get to the Tibet Map from the North Seas Icy Plain, so we're all going to be just that much farther from Hefei and Bloody Plains. I'm sure this is a conspiracy from Acclaim to sell more Summoning Balls and Courier Passes.

I'm going to scream if there are quests in Tibet that force us to run back to the clan maps. The entrance to the Tibet map is roughly where the green dot is, on the ice map, at least in the Korean version. I doubt this will be changed in our edition.


The mobs at that green dot are high HM level and I've been told by VGM's that the first mobs on the ice map will be low LM levels. Looking at that map of Tibet again, you should be able to get to the first village, from the gate, while still invincible. I wouldn't be surprised to see a couple of "transport" type quests to the Tibet map, like we get to the ice map early in the game.

There have also been a couple of weapons images on the Nexon site and even if you don't read Korean you can still see what levels the weapons are built for because of the Strength and Dexterity requirements. We can also see how much damage they do. Let's have a look;


And there is also this set of weapons;


That's quite a lot already but if you've got any more information or screenshots please let us know in the comments section and we'll update this post as we get more information.

I'm not actually expecting to see the Tibet map this week, or even next week. We all know that Indy21 isn't capable of producing bug-free work and I'm sure that Acclaim is holding them to a strict line with this patch. There have just been way too many mistakes lately, and Acclaim knows it. Besides all that, Warda just started a Mystery event that has 12 steps and if we get a couple of days per step, that event wont be finished until about the end of March.

- Update: Warda now has her own category on the forums, "LoreMaster's Corner". Our link here still takes you to the mystery event, but in future you'll have to look for her events in the new category. It's not a bad move, in my opinion. The General Discussion page was getting really full with stickies and announcements.
