IV. New Stances:
Like most are aware of, there will be new expert stances available coming with 3.0. These stances are known as the Constellation Stances. Like the Constellation weapons, these stance books are available after completing a quest.
The quest requires you to help out Emilia! Who'd of thunk it? And you guessed it, you must have Emilia's first quests finished in order to start the new ones.
Emilia will send you on some errands in Errac. After completing this quest, she will now craft you the Constellation Stance books, at the cost of 6 Star Stones (100k fesos each) and a 1 Sign of Constellation.
Information on the quest can be seen here.
Constellation Stances:
Arnis - Dagger stance
Hanging Guard - Two handed sword stance
Rapiere - Twin rapier stance
Rapiere of Grim - Twin rapier stance for Kurt and Eduardo
Equites - Single sword stance
Tested Guard - Two handed sword stance for Claire
Flintock - Rifle stance
V. New Missions and Raids:
a. Missions:
There are currently two new known missions coming with 3.0.
The first mission (which name is unknown), takes place outside of each of the three respected cities (The Queen's Gate, Theurgenwald Lakeside, and Nimraldi Bridge). Each channel is designed for a specific level range.
Channel 1 - For levels 99 ~ Expert
Channel 2 - For levels 78 ~ 98
Channel 3 - For levels 58 ~ 78
***NOTE!!!!***
The level ranges for each channel can possibly change with our version as only one server at this time currently has 3 channels available.
This mission requires you to team up with your friends and destroy colonies in order to access a boss for a large reward. It is likely that this new mission will be similar to Poison Yard and Secret Temple where it can be an open PVP area. The boss and rewards can vary between the level of the mission (99 to Expert level could have a level 100+ boss and drop level 100 gear) and so on. There is also a chance of Signs of Constellation that can drop.
Team Arena:
This mission can be accessed at the Queen's Gate, Theurgenwald Lakeside, and Nimraldi Bridge. There will be two teams inside Team Arena. Up to 10 families per side are allowed in. Your teams job is take out all of the colonies and the main boss before the other team.
While inside Team Arena you will face a variety of mini bosses which drop Arena Coins. These coins grant you specific buffs during the mission. However if you die during the mission the coins will drop from your inventory and be lost.
These buffs can range from increased attack and defense, increased attack speed, and an increase of damage dealt to the boss.
You will also be able to purchase consumable items at a various line up of NPCs to aid you during the mission. Whether or not these items can be bought with vis or the arena coins is unknown.
b. Raid Boss:
Necromancer Shaman (Name Subject to change)
This raid boss can be accessed in the new areas available in 3.0
Level: 125
Lifeless/Human/Undead?/ medium / non-attribute / medium-sized types of attacks: attacks range

Attack: 1592
Defense: 232

Drop List: Unknown at this time, however it is highly likely that this boss will drop the Constellation series armors, and Signs of Constellation.
VI. New Pets:
Two new pets will be introduced in 3.0, "The Pig" and "The Panda"
a. The Pig:
This pet is a looter pet, similar to our current Moppet, however this pet has an increased range of where it loots, picks up items much faster at the cost of more pet food consumed. This pet can be purchased on the feso shop.
