• Added two new Guild positions.
  *The new "Advisor" position was added to assist the Guild Master. Most of the Guild Master duties will be granted to the Advisor.
  
  • The Advisor will have all rights excluding Disband Guild, Guild Auction House, Request the Final Battle (or to accept it), Reset Guild Skills, and rights to destroy Guild Mounts.
    
  • There can only be one Advisor in a Guild, regardless of the Guild size.
    
  • The Advisor can use Guild Crafting.
    
  • The Advisor can distribute Allowance and Bonuses.
    
  • The Advisor can increase Guild Protection Capacity, and can also enable or disable it.
    
  • The Advisor can carry out Guild Contract Renewals for himself/herself and also for the Guild Officer, Quartermaster, and normal Guild Members.
    The Advisor can obtain and use all Guild skills, and can use Battle Command to Gather. However, if the Guild Master is online, they can only be used within the same server.
    *The new "Cannoneer" position was added to actively play a role in starting Guild Wars, as the position is intended to be specialized in Node/Conquest War rights.
    
  • There can be multiple Cannoneers in a Guild, regardless of the Guild size.
    
  • The Cannoneer can install annexes during Node/Conquest Wars just like the Quartermaster.
    
  • The Cannoneer can purchase Node/Conquest War goods at the Guild Shop using the allowance provided by the Guild.

• The rights for the following Guild positions were changed.
  
  • The rights to destroy Guild Mounts (Galley and Elephant) used to be given to Guild Officers or higher positions. These rights will now only be given to the Guild Master.
    
  • The rights to equip/unequip gear for Guild Mounts used to be given to Quartermasters or higher positions. These rights will now only be given to the Guild Master and Advisor.
    *However, repairs for the equipped gear will only be possible through Guild Officers or higher positions like before.
    
    
  • The Appoint Master button becomes available to the Advisor and Officer(s) if the Guild Master hasn't logged in for 15 days.
    
  • Any guild member can deposit into the Guild Storage, but only certain guild positions may retrieve from the Guild Storage.
    
  • Any ranking guild member may install/uninstall annexes for nodes, but Guild Officers or higher positions may use the annex's function to begin the process.
    
  • Guild members of Advisor or higher positions may summon the guild boss Khan for Guild Boss Subjugation, while other bosses require guild Officer or higher positions to summon.
    
  • Any guild member can purchase in the guild shop within their set allowance, but specific items will be restricted to certain conditions.

We've added the new Advisor and Cannoneer guild positions.

The Advisor position is granted even greater authority than the Guild Officer position, as the Advisor can even renew Guild Officer contracts. Guild Masters can appoint their most trusted Officer as an Advisor, and so we've added this position in hoping that it will allow for more flexible and convenient guild management.

Cannoneers are quite important for a guild that enjoys Node/Conquest Wars. We've added the Cannoneer position not only to identify that appointed guild member as the Cannoneer, but to grant them some bragging rights, too. At the moment, there are no special powers specific to this position. However, we are currently in the middle of preparing something.

We plan on developing even more positions to diversify the roles of guild members in their respective guilds. We are especially taking into consideration how to make each position unique, so we ask for much of your suggestions and feedback as well.

The owners of O'dyllita, the Arid Land, who were veiled in secrecy for a long time, have finally revealed themselves.
Fallen Ahibs are wandering in the fog at Thornwood Forest, and the Turos have revealed themselves in Tunkuta following the Earth God Tunta's will.

Greetings Adventurers!

The long awaited new area, O’dyllita is finally open for you to explore!

For those adventurers who want to know more and to those who enjoy the thrills of an adventure, follow us as we embark on an adventure into O’dyllita!

Before we begin our journey,
please make sure you’ve completed the requirements to venture into O’dyllita.

1. Are you at or above level 60?
   
2. Have you finished the quest [Lv. 58 Kamasylvia] The Light of Kamasylve?

If you’ve answered yes to both of the above, you’re all set to go!

Now, to take your first step into O’dyllita, please accept the main quest [Lv.60 O'dyllita I] Flower of the Burning Moon.

If you wish to enter O’dyllita without progressing the main quest, go to Node Manager Aliluna at Thornwood Castle and Node Manager Honti at Shiv Valley Road to receive sub-quests with which you can obtain most of the NPC Knowledges available in O’dyllita.

However, O’dyllita is a very closed society, so you’ll only be able to obtain all NPC Knowledges by progressing through the main quest line. For instance, you won’t be able to obtain Knowledges of the Queen of O’dyllita and her followers if you do not do the main quests.

Therefore, we recommend you complete the main quest line of O’dyllita to make your adventure through the region much more enjoyable!

ːhappybsː Tip! Don’t be scared by the recommended AP of the new Monster Zones of O’dyllita!

The only monsters you need to face during the main quest line are the ones in Manshaum Forest of Kamasylvia.

So if you’ve completed the main quest line of Kamasylvia, you’ll do just fine with the O’dyllita main quests!

And here we are!

The capital city of O’dyllita, O’draxxia.


Let’s take a look around the city.

Why don’t we visit the queen first?



We present to you the ruler of O’dyllita, Queen Viorencia Odore.

Here’s the message from the queen, so listen well!

You, who have been chosen by both the light and shadow!
Welcome to O’dyllita, the promised land of the burning ones, the Ahib.
There are no heroes in this land.
All of us here are barbarians, warriors,
and shadows hidden in the Arid Land.
We are preparing to unveil poison and fangs against the greater darkness approaching us!
Are you prepared to join the gruesome journey ahead?
We wait for the day the darkness hidden in the world's shadow
is purified into another darkness that blooms from our Mother's wrath...

Gruesome... Journey?

We’ll let you take the lead when we tour the Monster Zones later on...
Not that we’re scared, of course! We just prefer to be where we can see everything better!

Anyway, feeling a little peckish? We are!
How about we catch some fish and cook up something to eat?

Hey, look over there! Those pink flowers! You see them?



They only grow in O’dyllita! It’s called Delotia.

Well, we guess this is a great moment to introduce you to the new gathering items of O’dyllita.


[Delotia]


[Thornwood]


[Moonlight Stone]

These three are the new gatherable items in O’dyllita.
Delotia is a plant that grows in the O’draxxia region and can be gathered with Bare Hands or with a Hoe.
Also, the spiky Thornwood grows surprisingly well in barren lands where droughts are common.
Lastly, mine the Moonlight Stone with a Pickaxe to obtain Nickel Ore.
Well, we think we’ve learned enough of the new gatherable items!

Let’s continue on to fishing.

How about here? Plenty of space for us to haul in some nice fish!
Now how about we finally do some fishing and eat lunch?
By the way, don’t worry about the fish going bad while carrying it back for cooking.
Fish in O’dyllita stay fresh for a longer period than fish caught in other regions!

Did you catch anything you like?
While you’re busy cooking the fish, let us introduce you to some of the delicacies of O’dyllita!



Delotia Juice, Delotia Milk Tea, Delotia Tart...
As you can see, a lot of O’dyllita’s cuisine is made from ingredients found only in O’dyllita.
Please check their recipes for more details on how to cook them!

While we’re at it, let me introduce you to some Elixirs of O’dyllita.



You can tell from their names the effects they have...
While others... Well you’ll have to find out for yourself!

Other than the Elixirs we just showed you, some new Elixirs, Draughts, and Perfumes with Immortal power were discovered in O’dyllita as well!


The Immortal word on these items mean that their effects are maintained even when you die! Amazing, eh?
We think we’ve seen most of what we can around town.

Now let’s head onwards to Monster Zones! Ready?



Adventurers! As shown on the map, there are four Monster Zones here.
The first is the Tunkuta monster zone where a 2-player party is recommended. It's where the Tunta worshipping Turos trample around.



Wait, do you hear it? This music!

This piece is called VIII. O'dyllita: Field Theme #14 Clouds of War.
Whenever we hear it, we feel like a bunch of monsters will charge at me at any moment! So good!
Right, the Tunkuta Monster Zone. The Turos, these large bovine creatures, have immense endurance and boast powerful strength, but they like to keep apart from each other, so don’t worry about fighting many at the same time.

Find yourself an adventurer and charge into the Turos!

We also hear you can obtain materials for the new Elixirs there, so don’t miss it!

Oh wait...


This is a belt you can obtain from the Monster Zones of O’dyllita.
And there are Turos in Tunkuta...

That must mean you can get Turo's Belt in Tunkuta!
Well, we hope you congratulate each other if you get it, no matter who gets it first.

This is not all, there are some more items you can only get in Tunkuta.
Flame of Despair and Embers of Despair are crucial in crafting Fallen God's Armor!

Alas, Flame of Despair has a very low drop rate. However, do not despair because you can exchange some Embers of Despair for one!
Promise us you’ll show me the Fallen God's Armor if you acquire a Flame of Despair and craft it!

Next is Olun's Valley. As you can see from the map, this is for a party of 3.



Huh? What is this ominous tune?
What you’re hearing now is VIII. O'dyllita: Field Theme #11 Escalating Tension. Such a fitting title, isn’t it?
Every single monster in Olun's Valley is extremely powerful. One misstep could be the end of you. That said, the golems of Olun's Valley are slow and predictable, so it will get easier once you get the hang of it.
Do remember that the goal of defeating Olun's Statue is to survive with your party members through coordination and concentration.
Here are the 3 things you need to know to survive in Olun's Valley!

▶ Move with caution.
▶ Concentrate on coordination and defense.
▶ Don’t be greedy.

And here’s the Crypt of Resting Thoughts.



We hear the Crypt of Resting Thoughts is the hardest zone out there, even harder than Ash Forest!
Last but not least, Thornwood Forest, a zone controlled by the Fallen Ahib.



If you’re the kind of adventurer who likes Hystria Ruins or Aakman Temple, Thornwood Forest is the zone for you!
The Ahibs here are susceptible to CC status effects. I believe a skilled adventurer like yourself should know what to do.

Also, you can obtain Ominous Ring and Specter's Energy from Thornwood Forest.


Finally, there is a new ring to be discovered! Can’t wait to find out what it does!

You can get Specter's Energy from a lot of places, but monsters of Thornwood Forest have a higher chance to drop it.

Remember the Blackstar Armor you can craft with Specter's Energy?
Well, now the Blackstar Helmet is available for crafting too!


The method to craft a Blackstar Helmet is similar to the process of crafting a Blackstar Armor, so why not give it a try?




The design screams power, doesn’t it?

Lastly, there’s a new function to help you become an even more powerful adventurer!
Now you can add Crystals to your Awakening Weapon.

Use Inverted Heart of Garmoth to upgrade a Dandelion or a Dragon Slayer Awakening Weapon to be able to add 2 Crystals on them.


Materials to craft these Crystals can be obtained from various Monster Zones of O’dyllita.
Now, the final part of our tour.

Let's complete [O'dyllita] Caphras' Journal from the main quest tab.



Now we can all learn more about the Immortal Alchemist, Caphras and begin the Adventure Log, "Caphras' Record" along with it.
What’s that? You only have up to Volume 2?
That’s correct! It’s all we have right now! Only some parts of the records of Caphras the Immortal Alchemist have been discovered. The location of the rest is still a mystery!

Let's all hope the rest can be found soon!

▬▬ ▬▬ ▬▬ ▬▬ ▬▬ ▬▬ ▬▬ ▬▬ ▬▬ ▬▬ ▬▬ ▬▬ ▬▬ ▬▬

How was our little tour of O’dyllita?

What’s the first thing you want to try or see?
We personally want to catch those fish that last longer...
And go into new Monster Zones to craft the magnificent Blackstar Helmet...
Or maybe go and fight Garmoth to upgrade my awakening weapon...

O'dyllita, the land of darkness, is a step closer to revealing its ancient secrets.

Listen to "VIII. O'dyllita: Field Theme #4 Lament of the Ahib" and experience the lament of the Ahibs as you take in the scenery of O'dylitta. The violin in this piece expresses the sadness and passion of the Ahibs who were driven out of Kamasylvia.

Besides increasing the size of the map and altering some rules, we're testing out different ideas to continue expanding on the Red Battlefield with changes and new styles of gameplay.
