  Attachment 10254

  • Surge Walks
    Surge walks are existing walks retooled for content level 119. Clearing these walks yields capacity points and higher level versions of existing Walk of Echoes equipment.
    • Participating in a Surge Walk
      Clearing an existing walk has a chance to cause that walk to enter surge mode. (Fixed September 4, 2014)
      
      Players can interact with the Echo Disseminator located near the entrance to check whether or not a particular walk is in surge mode.
      
      As is the case with ordinary walks, players must possess a Kupofried's medallion to participate.
    • Ending a Surge Walk
      Clearing a surge version of a walk will reset it to its ordinary state. Furthermore, if a battle does not start within one hour (Earth time) of the time the walk converted, it will revert to an ordinary walk.
  • Endowed Walks
    In an endowed walk, players currently participating in a battle and those that enter afterwards receive a staggering amount of temporary items in addition to a bonus to their post-victory evaluations.
    
    • Participating in an Endowed Walk
      Vanqushing monsters or striking at their leaders’ weak points has a chance of triggering an endowed walk.
      
      Players can interact with the Echo Disseminator located near the entrance to check whether or not a particular walk is endowed.
    • Ending an Endowed Walk
      An endowed walk will end either when the battle ends or when no more players remain inside.
  • Checking a Walk’s Status
    Players can interact with the Echo Disseminator located near the entrance to check whether or not a particular walk is endowed or in surge mode.

    A filled-in star (★) means that the walk is in surge mode or endowed, whereas a blank star (☆) means that it is not. The percentage value indicates the odds that the next walk will be of the type in question. Clearing a walk raises this percentage.
    
    The Echo Disseminator will also teleport players to the Veridical Confluxes of each appropriate walk and inform players of whether or not there is ongoing combat.
