Greetings, Saviors!



It’s your dev team here, and today we’re super excited to bring you guys a preview of what we have prepared for the next Character Rank expansion. Let’s go!





First, as you can probably guess, we will be expanding the current maximum character level of 360 to 390, which will come with a whole new series of main scenarios and subquests. And, of course, the current maximum Character Rank will be expanded from Rank 9 to Rank 10.



A New Journey







In this new adventure, you find yourself searching for the next Revelation at the Starlit Lake.









At the lake you meet Byle, who is commanding a resistance army against the Schaffenstar. Your destiny guides you as you help Byle’s army chase their leader – the elusive Ignas – in a story that will forever change the fate of the Astral Tower.







In another scenario, you unravel the horrific story of a group of Kupoles that have been abducted by demons to serve as sacrifices for the Divine Tree.



But that’s not all…









Nicopolis, city of the forgotten Wizard Union.



Ages ago, a dangerous magic experiment exterminated all of the city’s inhabitants, leaving it deserted ever since. Now, a nefarious spirit awakened by Medzio Diena threatens to break loose in the region, and it’s your duty to help Owynia Dilben stop it before the worst happens.



Content Update







Just like before, you’ll be able to enter the Challenge Mode in the new level 360-390 field maps, which will also be complemented with new Hunting Grounds.



Daily quest fields current set to ranges of -10 to +10 will be expanded to a range of -20 to +10 levels (30 levels of range in total). For characters above level 380, the 30-level range is maintained by adjusting the range downwards, as shown in the table below.



Character

Level Daily Quest Field Levels

BEFORE Daily Quest Field Levels

AFTER 360 350 – 370 340 – 370 370 360 – 380 350 – 380 380 370 – 390 360 – 390 385 375 – 390 360 – 390 390 380 – 390 360 – 390



As the maximum character level is expanded to 390, so are the requirements to obtain the additional Attribute Points coupon from weekend (Friday to Sunday) daily quests.



TIP. Daily quest rewards change according to the day of the week (server time).



Monday to Thursday: [Lv] x 400 Silver (156,000 Silver at Lv 390) x 2 times



Friday to Sunday: 100 Attribute Points x 2 (x 3 at Lv 390) x 2 times







As is usual, after the Character Rank expansion we will be introducing a new instanced dungeon to the Rank 9 level range (330-360).



In the Lanko Lake Dungeon you can comfortably level up your characters and earn some extra Silver from levels 330 to 360 with no penalty.



TIP. The amount of EXP and Silver you get from instanced dungeons depends on the difference of your character level from the dungeon’s recommended level.



Up to 30 levels under or above the dungeon’s: 100% of the rewards



More than 30 levels under or above the dungeon’s: -2% penalty per level (no rewards starting at 80 levels of difference)



NEW Random Stat Golden Category



With the introduction of new fields and Hunting Grounds you will be able to farm unidentified Lv 380 equipment items.







This time, we’re adding a new random stat category represented by the color gold, which will include effects rarely seen in the current red, blue, purple and green-category stats. Each item, regardless of grade, will generate a maximum of only one golden stat (this applies to newly-obtained items of Lv 350 and below as well).



One thing to note is that, even if you collect the same golden stat in multiple items, the stat’s effects will not stack. Instead, the stat will apply only the highest value among its different iterations. For example, if you have a weapon with a golden stat of critical chance +12% and a pair of boots with a golden stat of critical chance +8%, equipping both will result in an effect of critical chance +12%.



Plus, unlike other stats, golden-category stats do not change in type or value when an item is re-identified.







On the other hand, golden stats will also be included when an Ichor is extracted.



Ichors containing extracted stats can be added to items of a lower level. This means that you will be able to add Ichors extracted from Lv 380 equipment into Lv 360 Legend gear (Velcoffer series).



Lastly, with this update we will be exempting Legend items from the additional cost currently required for adding Ichor stats, i.e. Blessed Shards and Sierra Powder.



What do you think?







If you’re curious to know what else we have up our sleeves, make sure to stick around for part 2 of this post, where we will talk about all the new Rank 8 Circle 3 skills and attributes!
