Hello everyone!

A new update has arrived which you’ve all been waiting so long far. We always try to make sure that we release each update to the highest possible quality, which is why it can sometimes take longer than you might prefer.In this update, we’re introducing hardcore versions of existing raids, an expansion to the family system, plus numerous other changes.

There are hardcore versions for the following raids:


Event raids and other temporary raids are not factored into this change, as this would mean players have fewer opportunities to collect the rewards from the current reward system. Similarly, the raids from Act 9 are not in the list as we feel that they are still new enough and do not need a special hardcore version. We may introduce these at a later juncture.

These raids have been chosen so that players have the option of playing older content in a more updated form, and are no longer forced to focus on just 1 or 2 sets of raids.

As with every update, we endeavour to make the gaming experience the best it can possibly be, but we’re also reliant on your feedback. In this update, we’ve added a new feature which will allow us to change the strength of monsters in hardcore raids on the fly, so that we can guarantee a smoother experience for you.

This means that if certain monsters turn out to be too strong in a raid, we’ll be able to tweak their strength. We’ll take your feedback into account, as well as monitor players’ performance in the game, to make sure the raids remain both challenging and fair.

Hardcore Raids

• You earn hardcore raid seals by completing the normal versions of the raids.
• At the moment there are no restrictions for entering hardcore raids beyond the minimum champion level.
• Hardcore raids can only be started with a complete team.
• All hardcore raids have a daily limit.
• The entry portals are the same as for the regular raids.
• The raids in Acts 1–3 require champion level 30+, raids in Act 5 champion level 50+, raids in Act 6 champion level 65+, raids in Act 7 champion level 80+, and raids in Act 8 likewise champion level 80+.
• Raid tokens open up a crafting window where you can craft rewards such as mini-pet versions of the raid bosses, resistances, act-specific materials and more. Mini-pets deal more damage in both the regular and hardcore versions of their raids.
• In all the major towns like NosVille, Dragonveil and Undercity, there will be a Raid Token Manager who can craft certain items for you like passive medals, perfection stone bags and more.
• The raid list will display the average champion level of the hardcore raid team.
• You receive a notification when you’ve inflicted enough damage to receive the rewards.

The following things change in hardcore raids

• Monsters are stronger, depending on the strength of the team.
• There are 5/8/10 lives depending on the number of raid participants.
• You only have one life in hardcore raids; if you die twice, you’ll be ejected from the raid.
• Gold and reputation are awarded depending on the difficulty of the raid, with the gold added directly to your inventory.
• An additional hardcore token is awarded upon completing a hardcore raid.
• There is a greater chance to get raid boxes of rarity levels 7 and 8.
• After completing a raid, the damage statistics of the top three players who inflicted the most damage to the boss will be displayed. The stats are currently only available in hardcore raids, but may be added to normal raids in the future.
• You must deal a certain amount of damage to the raid boss in order to receive gold, reputation and the hardcore tokens. The raid box however is a guaranteed reward. Since it is more difficult for lower-level players to deal damage, the amount of damage they must inflict is lower than for higher-level players.
• Raid boxes, special items like Alzanor’s Horn, and big item drops are the same as in normal raids.

Family Expansion

• The family system has been expanded to level 30, bringing new rewards with each level.
• There are new unique achievements awarding FXP and new passive buffs.
• There are new daily missions relating to hardcore raids which award FXP.
• The FXP requirements for levels 1–20 have been reduced by 20%.

Other Changes

• The seals in Acts 1–3 can now be crafted without entering a Time-Space (as on NosFire).
• The Ginseng Pot now takes percentage damage per hit.
• Dark Castra now appears in the boss room without a delay.
• The ‘Damage from critical hits is increased by 300%’ effect has been removed from Massive Slade.
• The raid monster Slade now has magic defence.
• The Protection Blessing buff from Ibrahim no longer applies.
• There is a greater chance to get raid boxes of rarity levels 7 and 8 in Alzanor and Valehir.
• The gold drops in the Alzanor and Valehir raids have been increased from 30x 40,000 Gold to 60x 30,000 Gold.
• Several changes to the daily quests in Act 8 which provide more experience and act-related materials.
• Several changes to the daily quests in Act 9.1 which provide more experience and act-related materials: https://nostale.comastuff.com/HCRaids_Act_8_+_9_Changes.pdf
• Increased the chance of dropping Techron’s research books, Fairy Affinity (2), Mullan Tools and Polluted Lightning Conductors.
• The number of items for the 17th anniversary have been reduced to 2, to save space in your inventory. As with other events, they now count as snacks and potions.
• You can no longer fill your basic SP from the anniversary event.
• Added a limit of 15,000 damage to the Sudden Twist buff.
• The duration of Erenia’s Curse has been reduced from 60 to 15 seconds.
• The Crusader Commander in Erenia’s raid now suffers percentage damage per hit.
• The cooldown of Zenas’ healing and monster spawn skills has been increased.
• Priestess Kelly of the Second Squad in Zenas’ raid now suffers percentage damage per hit.
• The waiting time in Zenas’ raid has been reduced from 3 minutes to 1 minute.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue which could cause dance timers to be overwritten by others.
• Fixed an issue where the mini-bosses in the Paimon raids wouldn’t spawn under certain circumstances.

Get ready, as on 30th September (11 AM CEST) we’re launch challenging hardcore raids full of terrifying monsters and powerful bosses! Plus set out on new adventures with your family and reach higher family levels.


Are you ready to take the next level of challenges? The hardcore raids have increased difficulty and are available in almost all Acts of the game on all servers. Only the most talented of heroes will be able to succeed in them and snatch the precious loot!

Raids with Hardcore Mode


In order to enter the new hardcore raids, you’ll need to have the matching hardcore raid seal. Hardcore raid seals can be acquired by completing the respective raid in normal mode. These can be traded and sold.

Hardcore raids can only be entered with a full team, where the size of the team is the same as for the normal difficulty.

Monsters and Bosses
The monsters and bosses in hardcore raids up the ante, and have the following elevated stats:

• HP
• Min./max. damage
• Attack and defence levels
• All three defence types
• Hit rate
• All four resistance types

Life Limits
In normal mode, you have a certain number of lives (depending on the number of players), but in hardcore mode, these will be reduced to 5, 8 or 10 lives.

Better Rewards

• Raid Token Shop – Players can earn new raid-specific tokens which can be exchanged for special items, pets and more in the Raid Token Shop. The tokens cannot be traded or sold, but can be used to craft items like a pet or new titles. They can also be used to craft act tokens which can be used for act-related items.
• Increased Drop Rates – The item drop rate at the end of a raid remains unchanged, but the chance of dropping reputation, gold or a box of rarity 7/8 increases depending on the difficulty of the raid.

Additional Features
Damage Gauge in Hardcore Raids – The three players who inflict the most damage in the boss room will be displayed.

• Success: Your fairy gets a random effect.
  
• Failure: The materials are consumed, but your fairy doesn’t get an effect.
  
• Overcharge: Your fairy becomes overcharged. A Golden Tool is needed to upgrade further.

As the summer draws to a close, it’s time to bid farewell to our Summer Oasis server. As previously announced when we launched the server, there will be a server merge on Wednesday, 25th September 2024. All characters will by default be transferred to the Valehir server, though it is possible to choose a different server using an item.

In order to answer some of your most important questions in advance, here’s our list of server merge FAQs.


Where can I see which server I have selected?

• You can see your chosen server in the Consumables tab (where your NosBazaar medals and expansions are shown).

Can I transfer my items with my character?

• All items will be automatically transferred.
• The contents of family warehouses will be sent per parcel to the family heads.
• The contents of regular warehouses will be sent per parcel to the characters with the highest level.
• Bazaar contents will be sent per parcel to the characters with the highest level, and gold from already sold items will be sent to the character.
• As per normal, there is a gold limit of 2,000,000,000 gold on the merged server. If you have more than this before the merge, it will be reduced to the limit. If you lose gold during the merge, please contact our Support team.

How can I transfer my character?

• All characters will be automatically transferred to the server Valehir.
• In order to choose a different destination server, you need the item which can be acquired from the Battle Pass reward (level 13).
• Characters who have chosen a different destination server will be transferred to their chosen server along with all other Summer Oasis characters on the same account.

How can I choose my destination server?

• There will be five different items, each representing a different destination server, which allow you to choose your server. The items cannot be deleted and you have time until the Summer Oasis server closes to choose your destination server.
• Please note: The item for the locked server Jotunheim still exists, but if you choose this item, you will be transferred to Valehir.

Are there any rules for transferring?
Certainly! The following rules apply:

• You must select a destination server before the Summer Oasis server goes offline, otherwise your character will be transferred to Valehir by default.
• All items in your regular inventory will be transferred automatically.
• Families will not be transferred. The contents of family warehouses will be sent per parcel to the family heads.
• Gold will be transferred (including the bank).
• Bazaar auctions will be ended and sent to characters per parcel.
• The Miniland will be transferred (NosMates and decorations) including the Partner’s Backpack.
• Your character’s progress including quests, reputation, tattoos, skills, lifestyle class etc. will also be transferred.
• If the name of your character is already taken on the destination server, you will have to change your character’s name the next time you log in after transferring.
• If all your character slots on the target server are full, your character will be deactivated and you can activate them in the standard manner via the website.
• Uncollected NosMall items can be collected on the destination server.
• Friends list, blacklist and marriage will not be transferred.
• All parcels will be transferred.
