If you've been playing Internet Gaming Gate's (IGG's) Voyage Century Online for some time now, you probably already know that you can't promote a skill past its phase cap unless you have the appropriate skill promoting manual.

Well, guess what? IGG is now offering that Phase 3 Skill Manual, along with a host of other items. However, the company would have you know that the item mall isn't the only way to obtain these items.

Voyage Century Online players may elect to obtain the Phase 3 Skill Manual from the Hurricane Island boss from January 22 onwards. Alternatively, they may also dig for treasure and exchange it for the said manual.

On the other hand, crafting items (blood stone, amethyst stone and windstorm stone, etc.) may be obtained from monsters in the Hurricane Instance, or may be purchased from ministers in various locations such as Oslo and Cape Town.

Likewise, various types of steel (pure steel, refined steel, handles, etc.) may also be bought from these same ministers. Just make sure your guild occupies the appropriate city first. Note that some of these items, such as the phase 3 skill manual, were formerly only available via the game's item mall.

If anything, this is one of IGG's ways of addressing the issues that have been plaguing Voyage Century Online.
