Huge Forge, Prove of Tantra Existence



The long waited update of Tantra, Huge Forge, finally implemented in Indonesia. From the start of January all Tantra players can feel the thrill of new dungeon and Kruma (Player versus Player arena). But not only that, a new set of armor, pet system and skills and also various new monsters also included in the update. Surely this proves that Playon has not forgotten about this game.
In Huge Forge, Kali has escaped himself from his prison in Mudha Dungeon. His first action to rebuild his force and army is by conquering the city of Forge. With the help of monsters from another world, Kali soon accomplished his mission. The gods surely will not stand and watch, so they send you to defeat Kali and his army.

New Dungeon and PVP
This new dungeon is a bit different from other existing dungeons. In Blacksmith Dungeon, you have to collect 4 pieces of map, each of which is guarded by mini boss. After finding the four pieces then you can access the boss’s room. To defeat the boss you will only be given 15 minutes, if you can’t defeat the boss then you will be kick out of the room. But if you succeed, you will be given a valuable secret item.

Item Sets and Monsters
This new update provides you with 4 item sets for each job (Deva/Garuda, Yaksa/Gandarva, Asura/Raksasa, Naga/Kimnara). Beside these new item sets you will also come across new monsters. But be careful as these new monsters have a high level. You might want to check their HP first before deciding to combat them.
In Kruma, there is a change in player versus player system. Each of these damages will only be counted 1/3 of normal damage. There are also new items to strengthen your character.

Pet System Implementation
Like any other MMORPG, Tantra has finally decided to implement the pet system. As a start, there are three pets that you can have, Matsuya, Ganesha and Marut. You can buy these pets at a special NPC which will you cost you 90 – 100 million rupee, a really large amount of money (especially for beginner). Each of these pets has special skills that you can use to help you in battle. Pets will learn new skills automatically as their level risen. Of course you have to feed your pets (you can buy pets supplies with NPC Karan in Mandara). If your pet dies, it can be revived by using pet revive item. There are two reasons why your pet dies, first is if you don’t feed them and second if you die (except in Kruma).

Matsuya
The name came from a legendary animal in Hindu mythology, Matsya. This pet looks like a fish, similar to the mythology who symbolizes Matsya as half human and half fish. Matsya has the skills that can increase your speed and evasion. It can also heal the wound of its master. This pet is really suitable for Druka and Karya, also a good friend for Nakayuda.

Ganesha
Taking the form of an elephant, as you all would think, this pet is taken from the god Ganesha. Ganesha has the ability to increase the defense of its master, it can also restore your HP gradually. Because of its abilities Ganesha often used by Satya and Nakayuda. But it is also suitable for all kinds of job.

Marut
The name came from Hindu’s language Maruti. According to ancient Hindu’s myth, Maruti is the god of wind. Taking the form of a bird, Marut has the ability to create shield and protect its master. This shield can return your opponent’s attack in some percentage (the percentage is dependent on your skill level).
