Hello NosPlayers!

Time really flies when you’re having fun! With half of the year already behind us, it’s about time we had another round of ‘What’s going down in the world of NosTale over the coming months?’

But before we get down to it, just the usual quick note that the following are only plans that may be subject to change. It’s entirely possible that some things get pulled forward, while others end up on the back-burner, so please see this roadmap as a general guide of what lies ahead, rather than a set of commandments chiselled in stone.

With that out of the way, let’s get to it!

In general, balancing changes and quality of life improvements will continue to be released sporadically between larger updates. There’s more than enough work to be done here, and while we don’t want to nail ourselves to any specific changes, rest assured we won’t be running out things to improve any time soon.

We previously announced the next round of balancing changes which will concentrate on the Master Wolf, Holy Mage and Crusader specialists. A little further on the horizon will be the Warrior, Sunchaser and Mystic Arts.

If you’re one of those people who’d much rather decimate the local wildlife though, don’t worry, we’ve got you covered, with SP10 planned for the end of the year! That’s right, we’re looking to introduce a new specialist for every class. Such big content changes always require a lot of effort, so we can’t absolutely guarantee that this patch won’t be pushed back to the following year, but for now we’re definitely aiming at a 2022 release.

Even though we already had a round of server merges in the first half of the year, we’re planning more for the second half. This time will focus on those servers which didn’t need any change in the last round, but where activity has dropped off and the requests for a merge have become louder.
Please note that we’ll only go into more specific detail (regarding which servers and when etc.) at a later point in time. Because of its geographic location, merging the US server (EN2) is giving us some headaches which will need more time to iron out, so it’s possible that this server will not be part of the second round of merges.

As it’s been almost a year since the last new server launch, we’ll probably have some news on that front in the second half of the year, but again, more details will follow in due course.

As ever, there’ll be seasonal events to look forward to, and doubtless a few new items will find their way into the game. And let’s not forget that NosTale will pass a huge milestone and celebrate its 15th anniversary in October! That’s right, if we’re made to feel old, you have to share our pain!

And that about wraps up everything we have to tell! As already mentioned at the start, it’s entirely possible for some of these plans to get waylaid or for others to take their place. But we hope this update at least gives you a flavour of the things to come.

Wishing you a (not too) warm and sunny summer!

Not long now until 6th July, when you can start to explore the changes we wrote about in our last post: Specialist Partner Fusion and Wing Fusion!

Specialist Partner Fusion is a new system which enables you to use the specialist partner cards you don’t need to upgrade the ones you do. Fusing them together gives your partners powerful bonuses!

Meanwhile, in the NosMall you can find the Wing Changer (Random), which gives you a certain chance to transfer the appearance of certain wings onto another pair. Keep the cool effects of the wings you have, while enjoying the looks of the wings which best suit your hero!

Patch Notes
Added the specialist partner fusion system.
  • Specialist partner fusion allows you to upgrade your specialist partner cards by fusing unused cards with your main one. As with the familiar perfecting system you know from regular specialist cards, this permanently increases their stats.
  • You can upgrade you specialist partners with every alchemist in the big towns.
  • If you fuse your specialist partner card with an identical one, you’ll receive double the experience.
  • An identical specialist partner card is even a requirement for upgrading from levels 19, 39, 59, 79 and 99. Exceeding these levels gives you a large amount of additional skill points.
  • Temporary specialist partner cards and specialist partners with similar appearances (such as Foxy and Fiona) are considered copies for the purposes of the specialist partner fusion.
  • When you upgrade your specialist partner card, it will randomly increase one of the following 8 stats: attack, defence, crit damage reduction, HP/MP, fire resistance, water resistance, light resistance or shadow resistance.
  • The number of points depends on the card’s current upgrade level. In total you can receive up to 390 skill points, shared across all 8 stats, but you can never have more than 100 points in one main stat, or 35 points in a resistance stat.
Added a wing randomiser item.
  • This was suggested by the players and was originally intended to be implemented as a wing fusion system. However, having thought more about the issue, we decided that few players would want to ‘waste’ an expensive pair of wings for the sake of a new appearance. So we’ve implemented this as a system which allows you to try out lots of different wing designs in the game, irrespective of their effects!
  • An option has been added to the specialist card interface which allows you to remove the current wing design.
  • All buffs granted by specialist wings have their own buff symbol, making it easier to identify which wing effects are active.
  • When using this item, you can't get the same wings twice in a row. You also won't receive the appearance of your currently equipped wings.
Added a Retro Wing randomiser item to the Rainbow Crystal shop.
  • We also wanted to give you the option to try out the newly introduced Retro Wings in a separate package. Given the different colour variations, there was no easy way to include them in the regular wing fusion, without drowning out the other wing options. Please note that this item can only be used by characters who are already wearing Retro Wings.
Improvements to the fishing system.
  • We understand that many of you find the current fishing system rather monotonous and not worthy of your time. We believe that the main reason for this is the very low chance of catching legendary fish. So we’ve decided to greatly increase (quadruple!) the chance of landing one, thereby also increasing the speed of levelling up (as legendary fish provide more fishing XP than regular ones).
  • In this update we’re also introducing items which support your fishing activities.
  • One additional change we’re implementing will however reduce the sale price of legendary fish. When we originally introduced the fishing system, legendary fish could be sold for high prices, as they had no other use. But since the introduction of the cooking system, they can now be used as ingredients for meals. The high price of the fish has led to cooking being far more expensive than originally planned. Of course, there are also expensive meals which are not fish-based, and we plan to take a look at these in due course. But with the increased fishing chances, we’re confident about making this change. We think that players will still be able to trade these fish amongst themselves for a decent price, but selling them to NPCs will no longer be as lucrative.
  • We’ve slightly increased the success rate when fishing, and greatly reduced the chance of your line tearing.
  • Most fishing titles have been improved and now give you more fishing XP and improved fishing chances.
  • You can now only buy up to 250 fishing baits per day.
Changes to the minigame raids.
  • Two of the main issues with the minigame raids were that they were hardly worth playing and that they always started at random times. We’ve made some changes to hopefully improve both of these points, but we’ll be keeping our eyes on them in future, so please send us your feedback or suggestions if you have any!
  • The raid seals for the Sheep Farm, Dodge Meteor and Bushi King Defence have been removed from the game.
  • These three raids now start automatically at fixed times on channels 1 and 2 (CET/CEST):
    • Sheep Farm: 1:15, 4:15, 7:15, 10:15, 13:15, 16:15, 19:15, 22:15
    • Dodge Meteor: 2:15, 5:15, 8:15, 11:15, 14:15, 17:15, 20:15, 23:15
    • Bushi King Defence: 0:15, 3:15, 6:15, 9:15, 12:15, 15:15, 18:15, 21:15
  • You can now purchase a Specialist Partner Box containing 1 of 9 specialist partner cards for 1 Golden Acorn and 1 Silver Acorn.
  • The number of Acorns required to craft a Bronze Acorn has been reduced from 50 to 15.
  • The Acorn rewards for the individual raids has been improved:
    • Sheep Farm: In addition to the raid box you now get some Acorns depending on your ranking:
    • 1st Place: 15 Acorns
    • 2nd–3rd Place: 10 Acorns
    • 4th–10th Place: 7 Acorns
    • 11th–20th Place: 5 Acorns
    • 21st–30th Place: 3 Acorns
    • Dodge Meteor: The amount of Acorns dropped between each phase has been increased as follows:
    • After round 1: 10 Acorns -> 15 Acorns
    • After round 2: 10 Acorns -> 20 Acorns
    • After round 3: 10 Acorns -> 25 Acorns
    • After round 4: 10 Acorns -> 30 Acorns
    • If you die during round 1, you’ll now get 1 Acorns instead of 0.
    • If you die after completing round 1, you’ll now get 3 Acorns instead of 1.
    • If you die after completing round 2, you'll now get 6 Acorns instead of 2.
    • If you die after completing round 3, you'll now get 10 Acorns instead of 3.
    • The rewards for rounds 4 and 5 remain unchanged (1 or 2 Bronze Acorns respectively).
    • Bushi King Defence: In addition to the raid boxes (2 for the winners, 1 for the losers), the following changes have been implemented:
    • The winning team now additionally receives 10 Acorns.
    • The losing team now additionally receives 5 Acorns.
    • The Bushi King Defence raid can now be started with a minimum of 10 instead of 20 players.
    • The contents of the Bushi King Gift Box have been changed to provide more consistent Acorn rewards.
    • Please note that you still need to meet the activity point requirement to receive a reward.
Other changes:
  • You can now transform champion level equipment into partner equipment. Partners can only wear this gear if their master also has the appropriate champion level.
  • All cooldowns are reset after completing a Celestial Spire level.
  • All cooldowns are reset after completing a round of the Arena of Talents.
  • The debuff which you get when three characters with the same class start the Arena of Talents is now a neutral debuff (so you can change your specialist card).
  • Dragon Gems, Shining Green Souls and Shining Red Souls have been added as map drops in the lower Land of Life (C30-C59).
  • Shining Red Souls and Shining Blue Souls have been added as map drops in the upper Land of Life (C60-C80).
  • Added new icons to the Erenia, Zenas and Fernon fairies, matching their respective elements.
  • Rune powers now also work on secondary weapons.
  • The knockback effect of the Kickback Power rune power now only applies to enemies in PvP.
  • Dowsing Rods now show the location of hidden spaces across the entire map.
  • You can now exchange 25x Draco’s Claw/Glacerus’ Mane for 5x Ruby/Sapphire of Completion from Sarakael.
  • Eva Energy now sells animal food which increases your NosMate’s loyalty to 1,000.
  • Upgraded NosMate Guardian Angels and Partner’s Guardian Angels which resurrect your pets/partners with 100% of their HP/MP are now available from Malcolm Mix. They are consumed before the regular guardian angels.
  • The Guardian Angel’s Blessing now increases the experience of your NosMates and partners by 100% (previously it only applied to NosMates and increased the experience by 50%).
  • When you right-click on an equipped fairy, you can now see how many monsters you still need to kill before it upgrades to the next level.
  • Skill cooldowns are now displayed in minutes and seconds in the skill bar.
  • The buff bar has been expanded from 2 to 3 rows, allowing you to see up to 30 buffs at once.
  • If you click on a friend/foe, you can now see 15 effects instead of 8. These are also divided into a row of buffs and a row of debuffs.
  • When clicking on a target, you can now see their exact current/max HP/MP values.
  • The set effect of the Ice Witch costume has been changed: When attacked, you now have a 10% chance to heal for 3% of your max. HP. The set effect now also already activates when wearing the costume and wings (instead of the full set).
Bug fixes:
  • Partners can now use the orange-coloured effects from their partner equipment correctly.
  • Fixed an error which caused specialist partners to show an upgrade level when wearing certain gear long before this update.
  • Fixed an error in which players received an incorrect error message when trying to equip a specialist partner card on a partner below level 30.
  • Fixed an error which prevented players listing multiple items with a total sales fee of more than 100,000 Gold without an active NosMerchant Medal.
  • Fixed an error which caused characters to lose gold if they tried to use the ‘Close All’ function when having multiple items at the bazaar, whilst being too close to the gold cap, causing it to be exceeded.
  • Fixed an error which caused the page to jump back to page 1 when editing the sales price of an item on page 4 or higher in the bazaar.
  • Added the missing Produce (Loop) button for the following items: Half Moon Crystal, Full Moon Crystal, Red Crystal Piece, Blue Crystal Piece, White Crystal Piece, Black Crystal Piece
  • The debuff resistance on the Blue Magician’s Frozen Shield is now instantaneous and not just a side-effect after 0.1 seconds.
  • Fixed an error which allowed players to use some of the Avenging Angel’s skills in unexpected ways.
  • Fixed a bug that caused players to not receive any rewards from the Caligor raid if he was killed by an Onyx shadow.
  • Fixed a bug that caused the damage from Erenia's Deadly Blackout attack to only occur on the next attack.

Have fun!
