Patch Notes


Content Updates

  • The skillset icons will now appear in the same order for everyone.
    • The skillset icons used to appear in the order each adventurer selected, so it would appear in a different order even for identical classes. Due to the feedback about this making it difficult to check each other's class, the skillset icons will now all appear in the following order.
    • Auramancy > Archery > Shadowplay > Songcraft > Spelldance > Sorcery > Gunslinger > Vitalism > Witchcraft > Malediction > Battlerage > Occultism > Swiftblade > Defense
  • Increased the max stack number for the items below.
    • Increased the max stacks of Star Wings and Flaming Pinion from 100 to 1,000 stacks.

Patch Notes - April 20, 2023


Content Updates

  • Improved the location and the pop-up notification for the Workshop Employee in the territory.
    • Because "Workshop Employee" was standing too close to "Workshop Manager," interacting with the latter NPC to accept the "Supplies" daily quests in the territory would cause you to exchange your Territory Coins for Enhancers by mistake. To improve upon this inconvenience, we've made the following adjustments:
    •  "Workshop Employee" will now be located next to "Territory Resource Workbench."
    •  The pop-up notification text that appears when interacting with "Workshop Employee" was changed from [Deliver Territory Coins] to [Use Territory Coin and Receive Supplies].
  • Changed the distance that you have to travel to return to your original location upon using Sorcery - Magic Circle, Swiftblade - Blink to 30m as maximum.
  • Added a description in the tooltip for the buff effects that are obtained from some Powerstone Pet skills saying that this buff can't be used while the pet is resting. 
  • Removed the restrictions for the below content in [Melisara & Gene] servers.
    • Equipment: Immortal Warden Equipment
    • Region: Mysthrane Gorge
    • World Boss: Nehliya, Queen of Annihilation
    • Dungeon: Ipnysh Sanctuary, Black Thorn Prison
    • Arena: Drill Camp Arena, Sparring Arena, Gladiator Arena, Free-For-All Arena
    • Design: Elite Awakening Scroll, Improved Elite Awakening Scroll, Immortal Warden Awakening Scroll, Improved Immortal Warden Awakening Scroll 
    • Dungeon and Arena matchmaking will be server-independent before any separate notice is announced.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed the issue where buff effects remained when entering/exiting the Mirage Isle upon using Powerstone Pet skills. 
  • Fixed the issue where buff effects remained when restarting the game upon using Powerstone Pet skills.
  • Fixed the wrong information in the tooltip for the buff effects that can be obtained from using casual Powerstone Pet skills.
  • The quest sign is now removed from the map when failing a quest. 
  • Fixed the issue where a non Tempering Charm could be registered as one in certain situations. 
  • Fixed the issue where the UI was not refreshed immediately upon disbanding/leaving a guild.
  • Fixed the issue where Labor was not consumed for individual guild missions when using Farmhand or Garden/Farm.

  • Fixed the issue where the sound was played abnormally when playing a song upon transporting through a Worldgate. 
  • Fixed the incorrect icons of Refined Erenor Equipment and Sacred Hiram Guardian Equipment displayed in the Item Encyclopedia. 
  • Fixed the issue where unavailable race quests were displayed.

Patch Notes - April 13, 2023


Content Updates

  • Combined Story Quest Infusion: Rank 1–3. 
    • We have combined "Story Quest Infusions" as the different ranks caused issues such as the difficulty of learning about the ranks in the early stages or the insufficient bag space. You can now use this item without any rank distinction up to Hiram Guardian equipment (before awakening).
    • You can use the "Story Quest Infusions" that you already own, but you won't be able to acquire those anymore. Now, you can acquire the new "Story Quest Infusion."
    • Story Quest Infusions can be obtained through race quests or Marketplace purchases.
  • Made adjustments so that the "Sea's Protection" buff is applied when the first Kraken is spawned.
    •  "Kraken" is randomly spawned in two locations, and players, depending on the number of participants, prepare this raid by dividing the available force into those two locations or by focusing the force on one location. However, a faction that opts for the latter case can be at a disadvantage if Kraken is spawned in the other location.
    • To mitigate this issue, we have adjusted the "Sea's Protection" buff effect to be applied for a certain period of time when the relevant raid monster is spawned for the first time.
      • "Sea's Protection" buff effect
      • Siege Damage -50% for 5 min
      • If you return when the "Sea's Protection" buff is expired, the buff will not be recovered.
      • If you return when the "Sea's Protection" buff is active, the buff duration will remain.
  • Mitigated the issue where you could easily complete a weekly quest of Ipnya Ridge in a certain situation.
    • Upon completing the race quest Erenor Chapter 3. Ipnya Ridge - 33. "The Voidbreaker," players would enter the single player dungeon Queen's Altar, obtain a powerful buff from "Timbo," and defeat the monsters from this dungeon that are relevant for the weekly quest to easily complete this quest. In order to mitigate this issue, we have excluded those monsters from the quest targets.
  • Adjusted Warlock Erik's spawn time.
    •  Although players must defeat "Warlock Erik" for the "Anthalon's Invasion" race quest, because the spawn time of this NPC is too long, it was difficult to complete the quest when there were too many participants. Hence we have adjusted his spawn time as below.
      •  Warlock Erik's Spawn Time: 205 sec > 30 sec
  • Adjusted the territory and the population density of "Brown Thorn Hedgehogs" around the Statue of Nui located in the lower region of "Plains Eye" in the "Great Prairie of the West" as there were too many of them.
  • Changed the target range of Spelldance - Dance of Calm from friendly target (excluding self) to Raid Members (excluding self).

 

Event

  • Mistsong Banquet event dungeon has started. 
    • Event Period: April 13 (after maintenance)–May 4 (before maintenance)
    • Mistsong Banquet is a dungeon in which players of at least Lv30 can freely participate without any equipment point or role restrictions. Go to [Instance] - [Dungeon] menu to enter.
    • Each of 3 participants must take charge of a way that leads to Ominous Worldgate and stop Lethy's minions.
    • You can exchange the "Mistsong Guardian Soulstones" you have obtained in the Area for various items at the "Mistsong Gift Exchanger" in Mirage Isle.
    • Please visit the Event page for more information.
  • Double the Gain event has started. 
    • Event Period: April 13 (after maintenance)–May 11 (before maintenance)
    • Your XP, Quest Honor Points, and Vocation Badges earned will be doubled during the event period (Fri–Sun).
    • A separate Double the Gain event is being held on [Dahuta & Shatigon] servers, so this event does not apply to them.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed the issue where Powerstone Pet Ellam was sometimes desummoned.
  • Fixed the issue where incorrect color was displayed for a dyed Doctor Healgood costume.
  • Fixed the issue where using certain Coinpurses while the bag is full only consumed Labor.
  • Fixed the issue where a currently unavailable item appeared in the Auction House search box as an autocomplete word. 
  • Fixed the issue where "Adventurer Growth" ArchePass did not expire.
  • Fixed the issue where using the Worldgate to teleport while desummoning a mount prevented the mount from being desummoned. 
  • Fixed the issue where Battlerage - Tiger Strike's Snare combo effect was applied to non-slowed targets.

Mistsong Banquet

Though Lethy offered up her own soul to summon Taris, the adventurers were able to deal with the situation.

Seeking revenge, Lethy plans a way to turn the tables by using the Worldgate leading to Mistsong Summit.

 

Her plan is to seize the Worldgate and march forward and annihilate the Crimson Watch!

By the power of Anthalon, Lethy created her own space in Mistsong Summit and recruited and trained her own guards.

 

The Crimson Watch hear about this through word within Mistsong Summit,

and install a Guardian Statue at the Worldgate opened within Mistsong Summit. The plan is to stop Lethy's guards from going through the gate.

Lethy realizes this, and gathers up her forces to destroy the statue, and the Crimson Watch begin recruiting those who will help thwart her forces.

You must protect the Guardian Statue and stop Lethy's forces from entering into the world.

Patch Notes - March 23, 2023

Content Updates

[Time Adjustments]

  • The schedules that were based on CET and PST will now be based on CEST and PDT after the maintenance.
    • We will be scheduling the content operations to take place an hour earlier to match with the daylight saving time in EU and NA.

[Dungeons]

  • A feature was added to add level and Equipment Point restrictions for joining Instance Teams.
    • We added this feature to alleviate the inconvenience of having to check each and every recruitment's Equipment Points.
    • The default restrictions will be equal to the level and equipment point restrictions for initially entering the instance.
  • The Fall of Hiram City was improved.
    • The Entry Time was changed, and the duration was shortened. The modes were also merged into one.
  • When you defeat Ipnysh Warden, a Worldgate leading to the Atrium of the Immortal Entrance will open up at the instance's entrance.

[UI]

  • The Family list can now be sorted the way you want.
    • You can now have the list automatically sort by the list you select when using the Family Community UI.
    • Each list is sorted by Ascending / Descending order, and is sorted by name if the values in the lists are the same.
    • Along with the addition of the feature of sorting the Family list, a "Expand Family" button was added at the bottom of the UI when using the Expand Family feature.
  • The chat window's legibility was improved.
    • We wanted to improve the issue where it was difficult to differentiate the chat for Commander/Raid General/Hero. Therefore different icons will now appear in front of the character name when chatting with players who hold certain positions.
      • Applied to: Hero, Guild Leader, Commander, Raid General, Raid Commander, Team Lead, Party Leader, Steward
    • We also removed the bracket and seconds unit that were displayed for the chat times in order to improve legibility.

[Region/NPC]

  • Further improved the issue where NPCs would disappear when there were too many participants.
    • We have fixed the rendering issue where quest start/completion NPCs would disappear when there were too many participants in a certain region while playing one of the 4 main daily quest contents (Crimson Rift, Grimghast Rift, Shadowed Torch, or Weakened Tower). Affected contents are as below:
      • Crimson Rift: Nui's Shield Recruiter at the Cinderstone Moor/Ynystere region
      • Weakened Tower: Raiko
      • Shadowed Torch: Scout Gaon
      • Thunderwing Titan Competition: Combat Leader Dylia
      • Faction Competition: Hermi / Onne
      • We are planning on improving the issue for the daily/weekly quest NPC at Western/Eastern Hiram Mountains in the future as well.
  • Fixed the issue where content could be interfered in certain areas using plants.
    • Plants can no longer be installed in the following areas due to the potential for interrupting gameplay: areas around Community Center Specialty Workbench, Ynystere Crimson Rift/Grimghast Rift/Shadowed Torch/Weakened Tower content areas, Hiram Rift content areas.
  • The Great Prairie of the West will no longer have a Peace time period, so it will now always be a Conflict region.
    • It will change into a War status during Guardian Scramble.
  • A Warehouse Manager was added to the Ethereal Haven.

[Quest]

  • Acceptable quest groups were merged.
    • To mitigate the issue where you could not accept more than a certain number of quests per group due to restrictions to the number of quests you can accept per quest group, we merged the quest groups like the following.
      • Before: Race 2 / Daily 50 / Weekly 20 / Hunting 10 / Bundle 10 / Vocation 10 / General 50
      • Now: Race 2 / Common 150
        • The Common category will display General, Daily, Weekly, and Vocation subcategory quest groups. You can accept 150 in the Common category regardless of the number of subcategories.
  • Improvements were made to the Settling a Score quest (a part of the "An Ancient Artifact quests") so that the quest is more convenient to go through.
    • The Soul Extraction time was adjusted like the below, taking into consideration the increase in difficulty to complete the quest due to the peace status of the Western Hiram Mountains being removed and interruptions when defeating monsters in the middle of Soul Extraction.
      • Cast Time: 1 sec -> 0 sec / Channeling duration: 9 sec -> 1 sec
  • Improved the issue where interacting with the "Iron Chef 400" was difficult during the Hereafter Rebellion and Dancing with the Machines quests due to the difference in sizes of each race.
    • We expanded the interaction range of the "Iron Chef 400" for the Dancing with the Machines quest due to the difference in sizes of the Dwarf and Warborn characters.
  • Added a quest that can only be accepted while the Don't Give Up buff is active in the Hiram Rift content.
    • To mitigate the issue where it was difficult for weak factions to complete the daily quest goal in the Hiram Rift content, we added a quest that can only be accepted while the Don't Give Up buff is active.
    • The existing quest and quest for weak factions cannot be done simultaneously. If either one of them was already completed, then the other quest cannot be done.
    • The quest's difficulty level is lower compared the the existing quest, and the rewards are also relatively lower.
  • The way you accept the Aegis Island quest was changed.
  • Some of the rewards that were given through achievements in the tutorial were changed to be rewarded through tutorial quests rewards instead.
  • Hunting Quests accepted through Signposts were discontinued.
  • Improved the spawn time for Serpent Eggs in the Cracking Eggs quest at Ipnya Ridge.

[Faction War]

  • The Skyfin Nest Arena was re-opened.
    • Improved the issue where there were restrictions for using gliders.
  • The Golden Plains Battle and Skyfin War can be accessed during their fixed schedules.

Patch Notes - March 2, 2023

Patch Notes


Content Updates

  • Added a condition for using "Change to Siege Mode" for Wheeled Mortar/Fire Ironclad/Ironclad.  
    • The content is not as exciting due to the high reliance on steamtanks (especially the use of Siege Ammos), so a condition was added for using "Change to Siege Mode."
    • It can only be used while a Siege is in progress or at the "Mysthrane Gorge" region.
    •  We will continue to make improvements for content that utilizes steamtanks.
  • The Enchanting Tail and Tempting Tail were added to the boss monster Aria (Hard difficulty) NPC's loot at Mistsong Summit.
    • These items only dropped from the Easy and Normail difficulty Aria NPCs, but we realized the high demand for the item. Therefore the items will also drop from the Hard difficulty Aria.
    • Increased the Health of Jola the Cursed, Meina, and Glenn.
    • The below expired ArchePass will no longer be displayed.
    • December ArchePass II 

Events
