DragonSaga Evolved: Monster Defense Re-Design
We have re-designed the way how monster defense is working since it never has been adjusted to reflect current gameplay and stats.
So far monsters had a very low defense amount which has been designed for how the game worked in 2010 but it does not reflect the current high damage and stat amounts.
Instead of giving a flat defense amount, monsters now defend a specific amount of the damage which has been dealt to them with respect to the enchant level of the weapon and monster type. A field monster attacked with a +4 weapon doesn't have as much defense as a boss monster attacked with a +20 weapon. Due to the high difference in the damage amounts between a +4 and a +20 weapon it is still more efficient to use a +20 weapon to slay a boss monster than using a +4 weapon. Additionally this update makes the stat Critical Defense Break more useful in PvE.

Monsters below Level 20 have no defense.
Critical Defense Break Change
With this update also the Critical Defense Break Stat has been changed. Critical Defense Break can now happen if doing a normal hit as well with a chance of the Critical Defense Break Chance.

For PvP nothing has changed.

New Monster Defense Percentage Sheet




Calculation Examples
The monster defense is – as before – calculated per hit a player does to the monster.

Example 1:
Player hits an elite monster on a mission map with a +7 Weapon dealing 5,000 damage, having a Critical Def Break Amount of 30%. The monster has 9.31% defense.

Without a Critical Def Break hit:
FinalDamage = Damage – (Damage * MonsterDefense)
FinalDamage = 5000 – (5000 * 0.0931) = 5000 – 465 = 4535
The Damage a player deals to that kind of monster with a hit of 5,000 damage is 4,535.
With a Critical Def Break hit:
FinalDamage = Damage – (Damage * MonsterDefense * (1.0 – CriticalDefBreakAmount))
FinalDamage = 5000 – (5000 * 0.0931 * (1.0 – 0.3)) = 5000 – (5000 * 0.0931 * 0.7) =
5000 – 325 = 4675
The Damage a player deals to that kind of monster with a hit of 5,000 damage as Critical Def Break hit with 30% amount is 4,675.

Example 2:
Player hits a boss monster on an Expert dungeon map with a +20 Weapon dealing 50,000 damage, having a Critical Def Break Amount of 60%. The monster has 30% defense.
Without a Critical Def Break hit:
FinalDamage = Damage – (Damage * MonsterDefense)
FinalDamage = 50000 – (50000 * 0.3) = 50000 – 15000 = 35000
The Damage a player deals to that kind of monster with a hit of 50,000 damage is 35,000.
With a Critical Def Break hit:
FinalDamage = Damage – (Damage * MonsterDefense * (1.0 – CriticalDefBreakAmount))
FinalDamage = 50000 – (50000 * 0.3 * (1.0 – 0.6)) = 50000 – (50000 * 0.3 * 0.4) =
50000 – 6000 = 44000
The Damage a player deals to that kind of monster with a hit of 50,000 damage as Critical Def Break hit with 60% amount is 44,000.

DragonSaga Evolved: IM Weapons ATK/MATK
IM Weapons can now receive ATK/MATK (depending on the weapon type) stats when being soul crafted or soul craft randomized.

24 New Guild Emblems
We have added 24 new guild emblems to individualize your guild more.



Starry, Protector, Undead Sheep, Scrappy, Infected Eye, Grumpy Bird
Ghosts Forbidden!, Lions, School of Sorcery, Jason the 13th, Holy Sword, Woodie Bag
Rush Hour, Cherry Blossom, Bone Vase, Black Union, Deadly Skull, Fire Guardian,
Water Guardian, Golden Chain, Midnight Wolves, Night Flyer, Resilient Eye, 3rd Eye
If you are the guild leader of a guild and you want to change your current emblem to a different one you can easily do that by obtaining the Guild Emblem Changer Item from the Item Mall (400 IM Points).

General Fixes and Changes
- Fix: The Ice Quakee boss of the Ice Element Dungeon does no longer receive the Flinch effect for consistency with all other bosses
- Fix: The Burlune boss of the Nature Element Dungeon now takes his child monsters with it when it is dying

Summer Event
This event has ended. You can still exchange the items at NPC Yongha for another week.

Unity Celebration
Europeans are now back for 3 months. Time to grab the [Event] Unity sets again for everyone who missed it. Collect 10 Cooling Ice Packs and trade them at the Vending Machine for [Event] Set of Unity parts. If you want to get the [Event] White Set of Unity you need to exchange 2 parts of the old [Event] Set of Unity plus 10 Cooling Ice Packs for one parts of the White Set.

You can obtain Cooling Icepacks by killing Monsters inside Expert Modes, Dungeons (except of Temple of Water) and Mission Maps starting with Mirinae Sanctuary.

This event is available until August 25, 13:00 Server Time.

Ice Rock Hill: Mood
Ice Rock Hill now supports the 4 moods Day, Night, Dusk and Dawn depending on your mood setting.

Bug Fix: Visual bug in Expert Modes
In Expert Modes the game has shown wrong damage numbers all the time. This has been fixed now. You will notice that the damage shown will be differently from what it showed before. For example the damage number now reflects that critical damage is halved. Also the damage is always the same as intended in Expert Modes, since the damage calculation does not take any random numbers into account. Instead the median of you weapon damage is taken for that calculation. The calculation was always like this and has not been changed. Just the damage amount shown was wrong and has been fixed. You still deal the same amount of damage as before this visual bug fix.

General Fixes and Changes
- Adjustment: Useless stats have been replaced from Froggy Pill and Coating Oil items
- Textfix: Several texts have been corrected.
- Soundfix: Fixed a sound for the new Summoner Venom Whirl Skill

Summer is here and the temperature is rising. What could be better than going to the beach, jumping into the cool water and enjoying the summer sun, looking at all the palm trees while having a cool Pineapple Drink and listening to some Reggae Music? The full Jamaica feeling hits Port of the Winds – the whole day – and from dusk til dawn. But the summer in Dragon Saga is more than just being lazy! Fight monsters and get some nice event stuff! Take your gear and help the small baby dragon Yongha out with his problem at the Summer Wave Coast. A lot of nice stuff is awaiting you.

When entering Summer Wave Coast an instanced map with end reward boxes is ready for you. The map can be entered starting with Level 25. The levels of the monsters are auto scaling to the level of the party leader. The map can only be entered if the level difference of all party members is not higher than 5 levels.
Some of the monsters are dropping an item which can be traded with the Baby Dragon NPC Yongha for one of four boxes containing random stuff:

•Cool Summer Costume Box
contains 2 different event costumes which are fully tradable, but soulbound once equipped

•Cool Summer Rummage Box
contains a lot of summer accessory stuff including some highlights (Paris Wing Mood Box, Wings of Darkness, Lightness and Sunrise).
Additionally the box can contain a Melony Balloon which increases Enchant and Soulcraft Success Chance by 4%

•Cool Summer Pet Box
contains some summer pet (regular pets, not support pets) and can yield the Melony Pet
•Tropical Weapon Box
contains an event IM weapon (Lv.20) for a random class with some stats


As reward for completing the map after killing the boss you can get the following:

Level 25~39:

•EXP Double-Up Potion (10 mins.)
•Money Bag
•The Item which can be traded for the boxes
•Armor Enchant Dust Gift Box (4 ea.)

J'aime! Event
We are an international server. Because of this Monsters inside Expert Modes, Dungeons (except of Magma Dungeon, Galaxy Dungeon, Element Dungeons and Temple of Water) and Mission Maps starting with Mirinae Sanctuary are dropping "J'aime" Items this time. You can collect them and trade them at the Vending Machine for a part of the I Like! Accessory Set.

The event runs until July 28, 13:00 Server Time.

Change: CoD Mail Pickup Time
We have changed the time period in which you have to pickup the CoD Mail attachment before it is returned to the sender to 1 day. After 1 day the mail including the attachment is returned to the sender. Opening the mail does not increase the pickup time anymore.

Change: Pathfinder
We have fixed a bug in the pathfinder class skills. Some of the trap skills were able to be set up in air while they shouldn't. However, we have decided to keep the Freezing Trap and Splash Trap as is and adjusted the skill description to inform that dropping these traps is possible in air. The possibility of using Tesla Coil in air has been removed. We decided like this because we see no difference between the behavior of the different traps, while Tesla has a completely different behavior (for example running continously and being able to hit an enemy multiple times).


New Support Pet – Marky (the Eagle)
We have added a new support pet – Marky (the Eagle) – to the Item Mall. It comes with Teleport, Teleport Discount, This is mine, Share Exp, Nursing and Better Potion.


The pet itself is quite small, so it's perfect for players who like small pets:

The all new Pet EXP Potion is now available at the Item Mall. It increases the amount of EXP the Pet gets from the player by 15% (which means the pet then gets 25% of the player's EXP instead only the regular 10%). Choose the one which fits for you:
If you are a casual player you might think that 30 minutes duration is enough for you. Or you are playing more frequently then the 1 hour duration is perfect. If you're a power player we have the 2 hours duration potion for you. Just go and grab it!

Betatest: New Video Player System (Phase 1)
As you might have already heard Microsoft is dropping Internet Explorer support soon. Many of the video player systems Dragon Saga is using are based and relying on a working Internet Explorer and additionally a working Adobe Flash plugin which has already been discontinued since January 2021. Because of this many of you might already have been faced the Cannot initialize WB message instead of seeing a video cutscene. Dragon Saga is using 3 different approaches to show videos: Internt Explorer, ActiveX components and DirectShow. All three are quite outdated technologies and need a replacement. We took this opportunity to start replacing these old video technologies step by step by a modern video system based on Google's VP9/WebM technology.

As a first step we replaced the intro movie and it's player by that new technology and it has been included into this maintenance as beta test. This means that you will see the intro video every time you start the game for now to make sure that this video system is running for everyone without any issues. You can skip the video everytime by pressing the ESC key.

If you come across any issues with the new video system (for example client crashes, missing video or audio during the movie is playing) please let us know. In the case you are not able to get into the game you can turn off the new video system by following these steps:

Open the Explorer and find the folder where your dragon saga installation is located (for the web client the default location is C:\Gravity and for steam it is the drive where your steamapps are located inside the folder Common). Then open the folder Dragon Saga (or DragonSaga) find the folder Release. Find a file named extracfg.txt. Open this file in an editor (for example by pressing the right mouse button on it and select edit from the drop down menu).

You should see the following:

[VideoBeta1]
1

Change the 1 to 0, save the file and the new video player is deactivated.

General Fixes and Changes
- Change: Phoenix Mount's Fire Cloud skill has been renamed to Heat Cloud to prevent confusion.
- Change: Knorxos Mount's Bite off skill has been renamed to Strong Bite to prevent confusion.
- Change: Adjusted the Silence Trap of the Pathfinder Class. Lv.1 – Lv.3 now only gives a Lv.1 Silence Effect, Lv.4 and Lv.5 is giving a Lv. 2 Silence Effect. This has been done to prevent that the skill can be casted continously without a break.
- Change: Adjusted [Best] Dark Soul Sets for Knight, Bandit and Infiltrator and removed useless stat.
- Textfix: Several quest text fixes.
- Textfix: Several item text fixes.
- Fix: Waltz can now be used at the Wedding Hall as well.
- Bugfix: High Energy Plasma and Mysterious Fragments can no longer be put into the account vault. The possibility was a bug and was never intended.
