Patch Notes for the 10th of September
- New set bonus have been added.
- Able to see the introduction FMV from the beginner girl.
- More options available in the community (party) list.
- The items obtainable from a great surprise box (spirit) have been adjusted.
- End of escape from 3rd home event
- Fixed a bug where the BGM doesn’t play correctly in Makai Touchou (Fin: The lord of the flies dungeon).
- Fixed a bug where the wrong crystals is produced when you crystallize a devil.
- Random text changes
- New lottery
So far the only new set bonus I see is the one on Suzaku’s earring and Seiryuu’s necklace. Exact effect unknown.
The great surprise box (spirit) is a reward from a quest in Protopia and previously, you can get +3/+4 str/mag/speed/int minor arcana tarots from them.
Post-patch, the tarot rewards appeared to be removed. Pretty much expect this to be nerfed but I’ve already bot patiently done the quest 100+ times and have enough tarots to supply my clan. O/
Here are the stats of the minor arcana for those who are interested. Only 1-6 are enabled.

| 1 | +1 str | +1 speed | +1 magic | +1 int |

Got to love Cave’s design philosophy. Minor arcana > major arcana.
This week’s lottery introduces reshape lamps that are used in blending.
There are 8 kinds of lamp in total.
Used them in the appropriate recipe to produce new items.
e.g.
Dainslef + 50x Reshape, Sword => Flame Horn
Main gauche + 50x Reshape, Magic=> Phlogiston
Madmax + 50x Reshape, Gun=> Avalon
Sound of Silence, Male + 5x Reshape, Sex => Sound of Silence, Female.
10x small victory rune + 5x Reshape, Rune = 1 victory rune
10x 1.2x cups + 5x Reshape, Grow = 10 5x cups
10000x mag + 10x Reshape, Jewel = 20 Philosopher’s Stone
5x 3x XP + 7x Reshape, Incense = 10 Balm of Life
Note: No fwee voucher for this lottery!!!111eleven!!!
As a “reward” for this “new” system, Cave will be giving each account 10 low-grade reshape.
The low-grade reshape can only be used in the following manner:
1x low-grade reshape + 200 mag = 10 aquamarine
10x low-grade reshape + 10 small harvest rune = 1 harvest rune
10x low-grade reshape + 10 small protection rune = 1 protection rune
5x low-grade reshape + 1 Aelios helm, male = 1 Aelios helm, female
5x low-grade reshape + 1 Aelios helm, female = 1 Aelios helm, male
5x low-grade reshape + 1 Cait Sith feathered hat, male = 1 Aelios helm, female
5x low-grade reshape + 1 Cait Sith feathered hat, female = 1 Aelios helm, male
10x low-grade reshape + 1 crow mask, male = 1 crow mask, female
10x low-grade reshape + 1 crow mask, female = 1 crow mask, male
These low-grade reshape cannot be traded or sold.
They have also updated their report page, and it’s still pretty empty.
They are still adjusting G1 trial rewards, just ETA unknown.
They are still adding in new dungeons, just ETA unknown.
Yada yada.
The author of - 女神転生Imagine – 悪魔合体マニアクス, better known to the EN community as the ahirukumi site, has state that he is planning not to update the site for the time being.
His message:
お知らせ： 2009/9/9更新
本日の更新を最後に、しばらくサイトの更新をおやすみします。
大型アップデートがあったばかりなので、更新がなくともしばらくは使い物になるかと思います。
（プラグイン悪魔の情報がまだまだで申し訳ないですが……）
ちょっと息抜きしてきますねー。
Rough translation:
Notice: Updated on the 9th of September, 2009
After today’s update, I’ll temporarily stop updating the site.
Even though there’s a major update, the site is still functional even if I don’t update it.
(I know that the information for the plugin devils are still lacking, but…)
I’m taking a short break.
Imagine: People are NOT losing interest over it.

sigh, there goes another nice reliable info person. Only Sherry, tekisuto and you left. Only time will tell who’ll stay behind to the very end~~ (I wonder if there’ll be sayonaras dorama on the servers closing day…)
テキストさんが引退したですわぁ～
Awh, more sad news. Hope to not see a ~bai bai post from you for a while. Even our GM’s read your blog frequently ya know ;P
Though, it seems like someone is trying to force a premature apocalypse on EN servers. There were “attacks” on Aeria’s entire network causing multiple crashes/disconnects during our 2x exp/XP/NDP events.
for that they say it was someone who was banned from last chaos for hack/bot/cheating and he send several attacks to aeria server to try something, I just wonder why they don’t just don’t configure they routers to…. oh well nevermind
To Aeria’s defense, DoS attacks, especially a DDoS one isn’t as simple to deal with as most think.
It’s a fairly painful and often requires MANUAL intervention.
Side note, don’t bother to reason with arcnet, aka Michael on GameFaqs.
You are arguing with someone who claims Japan has a new form of romanization, among other things.
I’ll probably still blog about Imagine for the time being since it’s fun in an odd way to mock terribad “experts” like Mappou/Michael and Aeria/Cave as a whole.
About Aeria GMs, of course I know that they are reading my awesome rants~
2 months and my challenge is still unanswered… My Alice-kaku is sad. T_T
They’re too busy figuring out how to implement the Subway dungeon before Celu Gold. Hopefully they still patch us up for Gold soon after. More importantly, I hope they get no dura loss in pvp before anything
have a question but i only read the blog not sure how to send private messages has LoA+prot incense been removed in pvp on your server just curious cause people are crying about it on our server
Originally, 4-0 regal and incense don’t belong to the same category of boost, but was made so when they change LoA to reduce all damage done, and has remain so till now.
Right now the community solution is to ban all incense use in PVP and blacklist whoever that use them.
reread my question and realized not what i meant i dont mind incense being removed on our server i run a high defense enhancer so i LoA and maintain the max pulse on our server along with 3.0 for hex what i actually wanted to know was if LoA just the skill was removed not stacking it with incense : D ive quit so i dont really care but when i did there was only 3 people including myself left running this pure support build so not like theres alot of people that do it anyway /walloftext
That answer is already there.
LoA and incense DOESN’T used to stack for 100% reduction when regal was first released.
LoA was CHANGED to be the same category for reduction as incenses when they fixed LoA to reduce all damage done by 100%, instead of just physical damage and it has remain in this form since then.
AS a result, incense is banned in PVP as a COMMUNITY solution since Cave won’t change it because it’s a CHANGE they made to promote the usage of incenses in PVP.
