Lastly, we bring in some hot deals as summer looms ever closer.

Read below for the full list of changes coming to you this week.

Event & System

Event:
  • Golden Goal Events have been added.
    • Event Period: 06/20 After Maintenance ~ 07/04 Before Maintenance.
    • During this event period, defeat monsters, fish, and gather [Event] Red Ball, [Event] Blue Ball, [Event] Green Ball, and exchange them for [Event] Golden Ball.
    • Event Period: 06/21 00:00 UTC ~ 07/04 Before Maintenance.
    • During the event period, play an hour every day (upto 5 hrs. per day) through Challenges (Y) and claim rewards!

  • Black Spirit's Adventure 1 has returned!

Content:
  • Guild Crafting system has been revamped.

  • Now you can access the Guild Crafting window from Guild (G) > Guild Crafting. The details of the revision are as follows:
    • In the Guild Crafting window, select “Select Product” and then the item and quantity you want to produce.
    • After you press “Start Crafting,” a menu will appear where you can input the crafting materials.
    • You can input the required materials from your personal inventory.
    • Please note that you can not retrieve items you have inputted.
    • Once all the materials have been inputted, crafting can begin.
    • Once crafting begins, the expected work time until completion will appear, as well as a button to “Complete Now.”
      • Unfortunately “Complete Now” function is inactive at the moment and this will be fixed next maintenance.
    • The completed product will automatically be stored in your Guild Storage.
    • Instead of using workers, Guild members can now input items from their personal Inventories for Guild Crafting.
    • However, you need to input all of the necessary materials to start crafting.
      • (Therefore, we believe that it would be helpful to gather all the necessary materials before bidding on a Guild House.)
    • The crafting time for each item you can Guild Crafting is set. You can use Guild Funds to use the “Complete Guild Crafting Now” function and finish crafting an item immediately.
      • It will cost 10,000 Silver per second left of the estimated work time to “Complete Now.”

    • Materials for the items that were under Guild Crafting before the changes made with the 6/20 maintenance will be returned to Guild Storage.
    • When the materials are returned, they may not be correctly stacked if you have the same material in your Guild Storage. In that case, if you transfer the items to your personal inventory and then transfer them back into the Guild Storage, the items should be correctly stacked.
  • World Boss Offin has been relocated!
    • World Boss Offin will now spawn in Holo Forest of Kamasylvia. You can locate its new spawn location by opening up the World Map (M).
  • [NA only] Due to regular maintenance occurring at 03:00 PDT on Wednesdays, world boss Kzarka will has been moved to spawn at 03:00 PDT on Thursdays.

  • Fixed the issue there ‘Assemble!’ function could not be used at the start of Conquest Wars.

  • Fixed the intermittent issue where annexes and installments of Node/Conquest Wars would be overlapped together when installed.

  • Additional damage inflicted from Trina Demolition Axe on castle gates has been removed during Conquest Wars.
    • We found the irregular phenomenon in Trina Demolition Axe on attacking castle gates during internal testing, and this removal of additional damage was decided as a temporary measure.

Many of our adventurers have reported that Accuracy is not being implemented properly, including for the Witch and Wizard, and we went through an extensive review in covering all skills of all classes. As a result, we confirmed on this issue and we are working to fix it fast.
Typically for the Witch and Wizard, these two classes utilize many skills that are affected by the revised Accuracy and thus the issue might have been felt stronger.
We sincerely apologize for the extended review process and the inconvenience we have caused.
This known issue is scheduled to be fixed next maintenance. We apologize once again to all of our dear adventurers.

  • NPC Dating system has been added.
    • Build enough Amity with a designated NPC and if you succeed in winning him or her over, you can become a couple! Also, a special title will be given if you become a couple!
    • Express Goodwill (Give Gift) has been added to confess your affection for a designated NPC.
    • You can increase Amity by giving gifts of all Marketplace-registrable items to the NPCs (items under 50 million silvers).
    • The ‘favorite items’ of each NPC will be indicated, and when you hand over a favorite item, you can build up on even more Amity. All items sent as gifts will require the consumption of 5 energy.
    • If Amity with the designated NPC becomes 1,000, “Confess” will become available.
    • The NPC who receives your confession will ask you to give him/her some time to think about it.
    • You will receive your answer via a mail in your in-game mailbox (B) in the following maintenance.
    • If the NPC who received your confession accepts, you will become a couple and earn a special in-game title. However, Amity will decrease by 10%.
    • The special title is called “___’s Lover,” and it will have a distinct color.
    • If the NPC who received your confession rejects, you earn nothing back and Amity will decrease by 5%.
    • NPC Dating can be enjoyed by all adventurers. Whether you become a couple or not is calculated based on the ratio "How much Amity you have with that NPC"/"The total Amity of all the adventurers who confessed to that NPC the same week."
    • Once you become a couple, this relationship will only last a week. Also, you cannot confess to another NPC while you are in the relationship with a NPC, but other adventurers can continue to confess to the NPC you are in the relationship with.
    • If you continue to hold the highest Amity with the NPC you are in relationship with, you will stay a couple for 1 more week. If your Amity with the NPC you are in relationship with is low and another adventurer with higher Amity confess to the NPC, your relationship will come to an end.
    • This means if the NPC decides to break up with you, you will receive a farewell in-game mail.
    • If you succeed in confession and become a couple with 5 NPCs, you will earn the title ‘Philanderer.’
    • If you succeed in confession and become a couple with 10 NPCs, you will earn the title ‘Casanova.’
    • You can express your love to the following NPCs:
      • Crio, Eileen, Valks, Bahar, Brego Williar, Leona, Richter, Grace Lauren, Elina Leight, Isobelle Encarotia, Dominic Erne, Santo Manzi, Annolisa Rosie, Luwensley, Ornella

  • Fixed the issue where aim would be blinking upon facing the Wooden Fence installed by the enemy.

  • It has been edited that annexes and installments cannot be built too close to the Command Post during Conquest Wars.

  • Fixed the issues where it was indicated that Conquest War was still ongoing even when it had ended and PvP hits were not applied correctly after Conquest War.

  • In order to fix the issue where auto-teleport was not working if the ally’s Fort/Command Post was too close to the enemy’s Fort/Command Post at the start of the Node/Conquest War, it has been changed that the distance between the ally’s and the enemy’s Fort/Command Post must be greater than 100M for the auto-teleport to work.
    • However, this applies only to guild members in the area of the node war.
    • Guild members who are located in non-participating areas of Safe Zones will not be auto-teleported and in this case, ‘Assemble!’ function can be used to teleport.
  • Packaged Old Moon Camping Anvil has been added.
    • Similar to the Sealed Old Moon Camping Anvil, you can use the item by unpacking it and obtaining an Old Moon Camping Anvil.
    • Instructions for making Packaged Old Moon Camping Anvil via processing and workshop have been added.

Game World, NPC & Effects

Mounts
  • Mount purchase time restriction has been removed to make Horse Market more convenient.

  • Fixed the issue where the guild emblem would show up on the mast when selecting Epheria Frigate from Sausan Garrison Wharf.

Class Changes
  • Fixed the issue where Forward Guard effect would not come out intermittently when inflicting hit while moving backwards for the following classes:
    • Ranger, Berserker, Tamer, Musa, Maehwa, Witch, Wizard, Dark Knight, Striker, Mystic, Lahn
When the attacks of both the attacker and the attackee while moving a certain distance very quickly overlap, the damage of the attacker is applied to the attackee even when the attackee has Forward Guard up. On screen it may look like the attackee successfully defends the attack of the attacker’s as the attack appears to have been launched from the front of the attackee. However, the server may detect it as an attack that goes through the attackee and damage may be applied.
This may happen for skills like Maehwa’s Dragon Bite and Warrior’s Solar Flare. We are currently working to resolve the issue and will update you on the progress.
  • The following characters have been edited to maintain Forward Guard effect only after guard gauge exceeded 10 in the case of inflicting hit while moving backwards:
    • Ranger, Berserker, Tamer, Musa, Maehwa, Witch, Wizard, Dark Knight, Striker, Mystic, Lahn
  • Warrior
    • Number of target hits for the skill Balance Strike has been changed during PvE.
      • 2 hits → 5 hits

    • The skill Ground Smash can now also be used by pressing Shift + F key in Longsword combat mode.
  • Ranger
    • Fixed the issue where Bound effect would be applied to the target intermittently upon using the skill Spirit's Shackles.
      This may occur in a very short moment due to the difference of packet speed between server and client when the grapple of the attacker is tried during the attackee’s motion switch. In reality the grapple fails and only the bound effect is applied and improvements were made to minimize this.
    • Fixed the issue where the Ranger would run with the Longbow in hand when Auto-run (T) was used in Longbow combat mode.
  • Tamer
    • The skill Heilang: Howling has been improved.
      • The skill cooldown has been reduced from 2 mins. to 40 secs.
      • Using the skill would teleport the Heilang to its target now to launch the attack on the aimed target.
      • When using the skill without aiming a target, the Heilang will perform the attack on its spot.
      • Effect applied upon a good hit has been changed from Knockback effect to Stiffness effect.
      • The speed of the skill launched by Heilang has been made slightly faster.
    • Super Armor effect has been added to the skill Absorb Heilang.
    • You can now use the absorb effect on four allies instead of three when using Absorb Heilang V or VI.
    • The following improvements have been made to the skills and attack commands of Heilang:
      • 1. Command: Attack
        • If Heilang and the aimed target is more than 5m away, using the Command: Attack would command Heilang to run up to and explode near the target inflicting damage to the target and surroundings. (The speed to run up to the target has been increased x1.5).
        • Attack damage has been increased by x1.5 and Knockback will no longer be applied for Heilang that has performed Command: Attack.
      • 2. Command: Follow
        • Regardless of distance, Heilang will teleport to a spot next to the character.
      • 3. Heilang: Berserk
        • After using Heilang: Berserk and the berserk mode ends after a minute, Heilang would not disappear anymore. (Berserk mode will be released without a change in its motion).
    • Target range to aim at the target for the Heilang has been increased by 25%.
    • Attack range of the spin hit and the last hit of the skill Vermillion Bird attack has been expanded.
    • Attack range of the White Tiger attack has been expanded.
    • Damage of the first 2 hits of the skill Garuda has been increased.
    • Attack range of the skill Flow: Soaring Strike has been increased.
    • Damage Reduction effect has been added to the climbing motion of the skill Cloud Stomping.
    • It is now possible to perform a hit motion using the F key during the skill Cloud Stomping.

      • Beast Rampage, Allround Spinner, Legendary Beast Dance, Whiplash, Surging Tide, Lightning of Earth, Void Lightning.
    • Attack range would face the front now for the skill Flow: Intimidation.
  • Valkyrie
    • Stamina consumption for the skill Promptness has been decreased from 200 to 100.

      • Floating on good hits → Floating after successful LMB hit after Death Lint Chase.
  • Kunoichi
    • Fixed the graphical glitch that occurred when wearing Sicarios Armor and Le Vladian Underwear together.
  • Lahn
    • Lahn’s Enhanced Skills have been added.
      • The first Enhanced Skills will be available from Lv. 56 and the second Enhanced Skills will be available from Lv. 57.
      • Prerequisite skills must be learned before Enhanced Skills can be obtained.
    • Fixed the issue where holding the Shift key while dashing forward after using the skill Stately Dignity would not consume Stamina even when the skill effect fades.
    • It has been edited so that pressing ‘Z, X, C, V’ keys would not show Crescent Pendulum or Noble Sword after switching to combat mode from mounted mode.

    • For Offin the message will appear 40 minutes before the actual spawn.

Game World, NPC & Effects

Game World:
  • A new route to go into Mediah Castle without going through the inner gate (2nd gate) has been added.


  • Fixed the issue where characters moved awkwardly in some areas in Heidel.

  • Fixed the issue where characters could go into abnormal terrains in Altinova.

  • Fixed the issue where movement was difficult due to some rough terrains in Crescent Shrine and Desert Naga Temple.

  • Fixed the issue where characters could go into certain pillars in Calpheon City.

  • The maximum attack range for the Hwachas used for Node/Conquest War and Savage Rift has been increased by approximately 40%.

Class Changes
  • All Classes
    • Attack (AP) of the following skills regarding summons has been improved.
      • [Heilang]
        • Starting with AP +30 for Summon Heilang I, AP will increase by +5 for every level of the skill which means Summon Heilang XI would spawn Heilang with AP +80.
      • [Blade of Darkness]
        • Starting with AP +20 for Blade of Darkness I, AP +25 for Blade of Darkness II, and AP +30 for Blade of Darkness III.
      • [Projection]
        • AP +30
      • [Gorr, Marg, Arne, Tett]
        • AP +80
      • [Toxic Flood, Lava Field]
        • AP +30
      • [Echo Spirit]
        • AP +50
      • [Delighted Blast]
        • AP +30
      • [Sea Dragon]
        • AP +30
      • [Ninjutsu: Sinew Cut]
        • AP +30
    • DP of characters and some monsters (Hystria, Aakman, Gyfin Rhasia, and etc.) had been increased in the recent balance patches. As a result it became harder for characters who utilize summoning skills as summoned creatures/magic circles/formation did not get an AP boost. This is the reason behind the AP improvement of summoning skills.
    • Summoned creatures/magic circles/formation spawned by a character will get stats that combine the AP of the summoned object itself and the character (excluding bonus stats).
    • Fixed the issue where the CC skill effects of certain skills only applied to the first hit so the CC skill effects could not be applied to distant targets.
      • Before Change: CC skill effect only applied to the first hit of the skill motion.
      • After Change: With certain skills, CC skill effect will now be applied to the other skill affected areas besides the first hit area.
        • The changes above do not apply to skills against single targets. This applies to skills like Spiral Torpedo and Spiral Cannon which are skills performed while the character is on the move as well as skills like Wailing Wind and Flow: Ancient Wave in which the attack range itself moves.
        • However, CC skills do not stack on a single target.
      • For skills Wailing Wind where the attack is inflicted forward, CC skill effects like Knockback will now be applied not only on the first hit of the skill, but on the latter hits as well.
      • For skills with skill motions that are relatively longer in time, CC effects of one set of skill may be stacked.
        • For example, Kunoichi’s skill Tendon Cutter applies CC skill effect on every hit. Since the duration of each hit’s skill motion is relatively longer than other ordinary skills, the CC skill effect is able to stack.
      • Please check updates per class below.
    • It has been edited that characters who do not have a weapon equipped would appear with the Main/Sub-weapon on the Character Selection screen by default.
    • Fixed the issue where weapon effects would not be displayed properly intermittently.
    • Fixed the issue where IMMUNE text would be displayed when CC skill effects and Smash effects were applied at the same time.

      • CC effects do not stack on a single target.
    • Fixed the awkward graphics in the capes while having Longsword equipped with Goyen outfit.
  • Ranger
    • CC skill effect of the skill Charging Wind will now only be applied on the first hit.
    • CC skill effect of the skill Penetrating Wind will now only be applied on the first hit.

      • Pushes the target on good hits while mounted → Pushes the target on good hits while mounted (PvE Only)
      • ”WP Recovery +5 upon using skill” added.
    • Added the text “WP +5 when you don't have enough WP” to the skill tooltip of the skill Fierce Strike so that it would match with the actual skill effect.
    • Added the text “WP will recover by +3” upon use of the skill to the skill tooltip of the skill Headbutt so that it would match with the actual skill effect.
    • CC skill effect will only be applied to the first hit now for the following skills:
      • Absolute: Falling Rock, Absolute: Headbutt, Flow: Ancient Power.
  • Tamer
    • CC skill effect of the skill Heilang: Surging Tide being applied on the first hit area only will now be applied to the other damage inflicted areas. (However, CC skills do not stack on a single target)

    • It has been edited that CC skill effect for the skill Castigatio will be applied on the first and the last hit..
    • Fixed the issue where the spin effect for Severing Light I was a push effect.

  • Wizard
    • Text regarding MP recovery for the skill Spellbound Heart has been edited:
      • Recovers +50/80/110/150/200 MP → Recovers +50/100/150/200/250 MP

    • Fixed the issue where all summon hit damage would be applied the same for all levels of the skill Projection (with Projection II damage quotients), and now correct summon hit damage will be applied to each level of the skill.
