With the third class balanced patch, we aimed for one of the most important aspects of every class: buffs. Our goal was the same as always: Create a system in which all skills are a viable option to use, albeit under different circumstances and for different builds.
With todays patch, the double EXP event has been activated on top of the already existing Tower event.
Skill and Status Reset
Also with this patch, you will be granted another free skill reset. Note that if you already had a free skill reset from last time, you will not get a second one. We've also thrown in a Status Reset, as we now changed a lot of skills with our last three patches.
Class Changes
Noble Sword of Spirit is one of the first skills you learn and forget about instantly since it's totally useless for magic classes - no Noble needs melee damage. We therefore changed it to give magic min and max attack, but at a lower rate than Magic Power (which only grants maximum magic attack).
Magic Boost is a great skill to boost the MP of fellow players, but for the amount of points you have to spend, it could be better. So we increased the amount of MP on each level.
Recharge in theory is a great skill to help your teammates get out a skill they desperately need to. But it just did not give enough mana to be worth it. It was also weird that you had to sacrifice less MP than you can recharge. To fix this, we increased the scaling and adjusted the mp costs accordingly.
Sword of Spirit
MAX. LEVEL 15 ⇒ 11
DURATION 5m ⇒ 20m
COOLDOWN 0s ⇒ 60s
REMOVED MELEE ATTACK Skill no longer grants melee min and max attack.
NEW MAGIC ATTACK (MIN. AND MAX.) 19/42/65/88/111/134/157/180/203/226/249
Berserk only grants low values and has some really interesting mp costs for a buff (on max 871 ôo). We thought it would be intersting to try out a skill that has two sides - you get a tremendous amount of damage while losing defense. We are interested to see how this turns out!
Berserker allowed a Mercenary to be rather fast for just one skill point. If you want to be fast, you now have to invest. You also get a bit more damage for doing so.
Mercenary should be tanky, but a Gladiator should not be as tanky as a Guardian Swordsman. To shift this balance, we removed some defense from Shield Mastery and added it to Absolute Defense (see below: Guardian Swordsman).
With the recent changes, Mercenary lost 87 defense from Stone Skin. An dditional 205 defense from Shield Mastery will also be taken away from the Mercenary. To retain the Guardian swordsmans place as a tank, we added 300 extra defense in total to Absolute Defense.
Absolute Defense
PHYSICAL AND MAGICAL DEFENSE 1118/1334/1550/1766/1982/2198 ⇒ 1168/1434/1700/1966/2232/2498
Explorer
Hit Chain requires 10 skill points for merely 91 hit. Important note: Hit Chain only grants physical hitrate, not magical.
Hit Chain
DURATION 10m ⇒ 20m
COOLDOWN 1 second ⇒ 20s
RANGE AND MELEE HIT 16/19/22/27/33/40/48/62/76/91 ⇒ 23/46/67/89/111/133/155/177/199/221
With only a 20s cooldown on Crimon Dust that lasts 15 seconds, Excavators only had a 5s time that they had to bridge to apply dust permanently (if they hit of course). While we think that Excavators definitely need Crimson Dust as a damage source, having a 5 second gap between the skill running out and cooldown reset is too short. We therefore added 5 seconds to the cooldown, increasing the gap to 10 seconds.
Crimson Dust
COOLDOWN 20s ⇒ 25s
Wind Walk
DURATION 10m ⇒ 20m
COOLDOWN 1s ⇒ 20s
Sniper
Aerial Wing
DURATION 10m ⇒ 20m
COOLDOWN 1s ⇒ 20s
Saint
The idea of Spirtual Power in theory is great, however, MP Recovery does not work while in combat, which rendered the skill nearly useless. We therefore decided to change it to a hitrate skill, like Hit Chain, but only for magic hitrate.
Blessing of Nature does give a lot of physical defense, which is a hard stat to balance. We therefore lowered the amount of physical defense by about 10% but added Magical Defense to it.
Thorn Trunk did not do what it should: root the enemy. We fixed this, but had to reduce the duration slightly to prevent it from being too strong.
Spiritual Power
REMOVED MP RECOVERY No longer grants mp recovery.
NEW MAGIC HITRATE 27/41/55/69/83/97/111/125/139/153
NEW MAGICAL DEFENSE 9/37/43/59/88/124/169/219/274/331/392
Balance Up
DURATION 10m ⇒ 20m
Thorn Trunk NEW ROOT Thorn Trunk now roots your enemy in place, which prevents them from moving, no matter their movement speed.
DURATION 6/7/8/9/10s ⇒ 2/3/4/5/6s
Priest
Not many priests use Blessing of Life as it requires 7 skill points for only 885 HP. We agreed that this is not a good investment for your skill points and increased the HP you get exponentially with each skill level.
Blessing of Life
COOLDOWN 10s ⇒ 30s
DURATION 15m ⇒ 20m
MAX. HP 354/408/483/580/679/781/885 ⇒ 375/470/640/910/1305/1805/2570

Todays patch removes the Christmas decoration as well as the double drop event and simultaneously brings back the tower event. However, there is something else that has been changed with this patch.
As some of you might be aware, there is currently a bug that allows players to duplicate items. While this issue only affects a small group of players, it is those players that have openly showed us their very ill intention to cause harm to Florensia and its community.
As we’ve mentioned many times before: We will eventually get all of them. However, it is an extremely tedious and time-consuming task. This is why we have decided, to temporarily close the bank.
This means that currently, you will only be able to retrieve items from the bank but unable to insert any. This is – for now, the intended behavior.
We have been working on solving this issue for the past months but this is unfortunately not a case of Florensias code being old, but rather an issue of old programs running on new hardware. I will spare you the details here and just say that we are close to implementing a solution, but require a bit more time to get it right.
We are fully aware of the implications that this brings and we want to apologize for the inconveniences that are caused by this update. We are however forced to act now, before the situation gets out of hand.
We are of course working fulltime and with our best efforts to solving this issue as quickly as possible and will keep you updated on the situation, as soon as we have any news.
Stay tuned, as we have a few gifts for you that we will share later!
We have successfully left 2020 behind us. At this point we would like to take the opportunity to thank each and every one of you for your active participation in our events and your feedback. We have some big plans this year and start with the birthday event that accompanies Florensia every year.
On 23.01.2015 Florensia opened its doors for curious and adventurous people. This day, we want to celebrate together with you! Therefore we have three events for you. Baking a Florensia birthday cake, self-created videos and a specially created drawing on the theme of Florensia.
The great baking: The Florensia team is looking for the most beautiful and delicious cakes that our adventurers can bake. Create a unique cake or pie. Our event team has many sweet tooths who will analyze your recipes and pictures. In order for us to know how you baked your cake, we ask you to include a recipe of the cake (if you don't want to share it, please contact us via Discord). Happy baking, we are looking forward to your creations!
Your adventures in Florensia: It has been 6 years since Florensia opened its doors again. We have experienced a lot together. Moments of love, of excitement, of adventures and also of fights. Grab your friends and record a video. The theme is "A day with my friends, in Florensia". Videos that consist of screenshots or contain screenshots are just as welcome, but the video cannot consist of just one screenshot. Also, a video without images, that is, consisting only of images and sound, will not be accepted.
The video should last at least one minute and at most five minutes (slight deviations are of course allowed). When submitting, feel free to use a YouTube link (if you don't want your video to be seen, please set it to private and then send us the link).
The big drawing: As you know, we love drawings as much as you do. That's why we are looking forward to your drawings. The drawings should have Florensia and birthday specific content (e.g. a wurn or a dodo with a party hat) and are welcome both on paper and digitally.
Submissions / Rules:
Please send the pictures or videos to [DE] Namica or [DE] Ferrox via Discord or via Insta / Facebook as DM to the responsible person there. Please add your account name
Please note that we can only accept submissions that fulfill these requirements
Note that 50% of the content you send in (if it contains Florensia content) belongs to you. The other 50% belongs to Giiku-Games and AHA. We may post your submissions on Instagram, Discord, Facebook, or our website. By participating in the events, you explicitly agree to this. (If we want to use your creations for other press and/or public legal things, we will of course consult with you).
We reserve the right not to evaluate content if we determine that little or no work has been put into the submission.
Music that is under copyright is prohibited. Content that contains such music will not be accepted. Music that is included in Florensia is allowed. You can find it in the Florensia folder under Data and then on Sound. Music that you have created yourself, you can of course use.
Everyone is welcome to participate once in each event to increase the chance of winning. However, a person can only win once in all events. (For example, if player 1 likes to bake and draw, he can submit both a cake and a drawing. Both looked wonderful, but he only won first place in baking).
Stolen, discriminatory, racist, sexual or fake entries, will not be accepted.
Deadlines:
Please send us pictures of your baking creations, the videos, your drawings, your FanArts or all together, by Monday, 14/02/2021 at 00:00 CET (UTC +1).
(Please note that for organizational reasons we cannot accept any submissions after the deadline).
Prizes: Of course, you can expect great prizes! These prizes will be given out for every single event, but they are server-spanning.
1st place: 30.000 AP
2nd place: 15.000 AP
3rd place: 10.000 AP
4th and 5th place: 5.000 AP
6th place - 50th place: Surprise package (EXP Pots and other useful items)
We wish you a lot of fun and success in designing your creations and are looking forward to your submissions. If you have any questions or uncertainties regarding this event, please feel free to contact any member of the event team via Discord! - Concluding; Happy Birthday!!!
Once again a happy new year everyone! And as everyone is aware, a new year also means another birthday! - After all, things don't get any younger!
As we stated in the last guild birthday news, we will be setting a new registration period. So if you are interested in registering your guild for a guild spawn in the first half of the year, all you have to do is contact a member of the event team via Discord! The registration period will be from 10.01. - 24.01.
Again as a small information: The fact that you announce yourselves to us, does not mean that you must have your Spawn in the before mentioned period. You are only registering for the first half of the year. The exact time can also be determined in a later month.
As with the last party spawns, the following rules apply:
Each guild may only celebrate its birthday once a year
The duration of the spawn event is 30min
The event will be led by the present Eventi - that means, not all wishes will be fulfilled
At least 5 people from the guild must participate in the event
The guild must be at least one year old!
If a guild misses its scheduled date, without early cancellation, that guild will not have a chance to re-register for that year (please sign out early if the date does not fit anymore)
In case of a negative behavior of the guild on their spawn, we are forced to cancel the spawn and disqualify the guild for further spawns.
You will receive an additional 50% AP on all AP purchases you started from the 14th of December 2020 03:30pm CET until the 7th of January 2021 11:59am CET!
this patch introduces the changes of passive skills for all classes, generally enhancing them, to make them all a viable option. We also rewrote all of their descriptions in all languages to reflect the new changes as well as make them more clear.
While we are working on future updates, we are of course also listening to your feedback about the last patches. If you want to give your feedback and stay in touch with the community, then join our official Discord server! We continue to closely monitor the changes and act accordingly where deemed necessary. With the next balance patch, we will tackle some buffs. Stay tuned for a preview soon!
Class Changes
Noble
The amount of points you had to spend for Mind Up and Insight of Magic did not really result in better stats. So we increased those skills a bit. Lure is one of the harder skills to balance. It is extremely strong in its potential and yet very important for a noble to survive. In an attempt to balance things out more evenly, we reduced the duration of Lure of Incubus by another 3 seconds.
Mind Up
MAX MP: 104/208/312/416/520/624/728/936/1040 ⇒ 312/624/936/1248/1560/1872/2184/2496/2808/3120
Because the Explorer is a heavy skill based class, increasing auto attack speed with dual guns was deemed unnecessary. As such, we are exchanging the attack speed bonus with Attack Damage
Dual Gun Mastery
REMOVED ATTACK SPEED: No longer bonus attack speed.
NEW RANGE ATTACK DAMAGE (MIN. AND MAX.): 71/97/128/168/230
Saint
Saints were in long need of a passive that would increase their accuracy. This will happen in the form of Depravity of Soul losing its damage increase bonus for the sake of increasing the magic accuracy. Saints are a bit too strong when it comes to healing, so Prayer will see a slight decrease in effectiveness.
Depravity of Soul
REMOVED MAGIC DAMAGE: Depravity of Soul no longer gives bonus magic damage.
NEW MAGIC HITTING: 20/40/60/80/100/120/140/160/180/200
The Mercenary class has extremely high defense and damage output at the same time. To counter this, we decreased some of the passive values, to bring the Mercenary to the level of other classes.
Christmas decorations were enabled for Roxbury, Castle Hall and Glostern.
Known Issues
With the reduce of Stone Skin 15 to 12, players that had it on 15 will see 15/12 on their skill and still have the old defensive values. We are working on a fix for this issue.
Descriptions of consumable buffs (like Alchemist's Minor Green Sign) are broken.
Hohoho! - And therewith a merry Christmas to all! Christmas is coming up and so is the time of love and family.
Traditionally, before Christmas people write a letter to Santa Claus to tell him their wishes. And we also want to do something like that this year. "Letter to Santa Claus" - A contest about writing a nice Christmas letter to Santa Claus and to tell him about his wishes or worries. The letter may be written or recorded in any form, but should be based on the theme of Florensia and Christmas. The deadline for sending the letter to Santa Claus is 23.12.2020 at 00:00 (UTC+1). The winner of the contest will be announced already on 24.12.2020 and will win a christmas present.
Apart from a contest, we will also provide an advent calendar filled with puzzles and prizes. Every day from 01.12.2020 to 23.12.2020 we will upload single puzzles on discord, which you can solve. Once you have the solution, send it to Ferrox or Namica until 00:00 (UTC+1) of that day with a name of one of your characters for a possible win. The winner of each day will then be drawn and during the next day everyone in the DM will be told whether they have won or lost.
To make the christmas time even more wonderful and to give you even more entertainment during this time, we will also visit you on the four days of advent ingame! (Both on Luxplena and Bergruen).
1st Advent: Hide and Seek (Winners can wish for bosses or monsters)
2nd Advent: Quiz Event (winners will be rewarded with codes)
3rd / 4th Advent: Partyspawn!
The exact times for the individual events on the Advent days will be announced promptly in Discord.
We wish you all a Merry Christmas and stay healthy!
Some of you may remember that on the ocassion of Florensia's fifth birthday we offered all guilds to celebrate their birthday with a private guild spawn. However, it seems that this has been forgotten, so we would like to remind you of this now. But there will be some changes regarding the guild spawns.
Feedback regarding some issues Over the time, we have received a lot of feedback regarding problems. From this feedback we could conclude that many guilds had the problem of not knowing when their guilds birthday is. Also the fact that you had to register for a spawn via Ticket System was a disturbing factor for many people. One of the last problems we mentioned was that the message would get lost in between the other messages and would quickly be forgotten. Therefore we would like to inform you about our changes to the guild spawns.
Rule changes due to the problems The registration for the guild spawn will no longer be done via the ticket system, but is now possible via Discord. Only one of your guild has to contact a member of the [Flo] Eventteam. In addition to the registration, the exact time of the spawn event is now also regulated via Discord. Furthermore it is no longer necessary that you get your spawn exactly or very close to your current birthday.
Every guild is allowed to celebrate its birthday during the year without having to stick to an exact founding date. The last point of the change, is dedicated to the registration. There will now be a six-monthly registration period (i.e. January/July). The exact registration period in one of the two months will be announced with the corresponding news at that time. During the registration period you only have to tell a member of the [Flo] Eventteam about your interest in a guild spawn, so that they can note your interest. You don't have to look for an exact date in this registration period. The exact dates for the individual events will be made in the course of the half year.
Apart from this rule change, the following rules will come into effect at the spawn event itself:
Each guild may only celebrate its birthday once a year
The duration of the Spawn Event is 30min
The event will be led by the present Eventi - that means, not all wishes will be fulfilled
At least 5 people from the guild must participate in the event
The guild must be at least one year old!
If a guild misses its scheduled date, without early cancellation, that guild will not have a chance to re-register for that year
If you are interested in registering for a private guild spawn before the end of this year, please contact us from 16.11. - 23.11. on Discord. From the new year on, the registration period will be, as mentioned before, once in January and once in July!
Todays patch focuses mainly on hitrate values of Essences. Generally speaking, the low hitrates compared to avoidance values meant that avoidance was (and still is) unproportionally more effective than its counterpart. To combat this, we buffed the hitrate of all Essences across the board. Additionally, we also changed the Blue Bat Essence (the only one with Recovery Skill Up) to give full support priests a solid option to choose.
And last but not least: Double EXP Event is online again!
