To celebrate the Terrmian Waterpark festival, the Old Moon guild is offering Old Moon Sky Balloon rides between Altinova and Terrmian for free.

There are no Old Moon Sky Balloon routes to Calpheon and Valencia in Terrmian. Also, if you wish to travel to destinations other than Terrmian from Altinova, you have to purchase tickets with Black Stones as before.



[System]

Some zones had their escape points set somewhere too far from the zones, which took too much time and effort to return to, which in turn wasted buffs from food, elixirs, and villas. To resolve this, the following zones' escape point was changed to the zone's General Goods Vendor. Hystria Ruins Aakman Temple Protty Cave Sycraia Underwater Ruins (upper zone) Sycraia Underwater Ruins (abyssal zone)



[Developer’s Comment]

We would have liked to announce that we've resolved all issues where characters get stuck in Hystria Ruins and other locations, but we require more time to do that. So with this patch, we've changed the location of where you are sent to when you escape to somewhere within the zone. As mentioned during Heidel Ball and our recent announcement, we know this is not a complete solution and we will keep working on it to resolve the issue.



Fixed the issue where the Altar of Blood room did not reset as it should intermittently.

Improvements were made so that you can no longer be invited to a party while waiting for the Altar of Blood matchmaking.

Added the function of immediate entry to each of the Altar of Blood’s Illusions. You can immediately enter only those Illusions that the party leader has previously completed. You need Nightmare Fragments for any immediate entry. For the immediate entry of each Illusion stage, the number of Nightmare Fragments required is as follows. The 1st Illusion - x0 The 2nd Illusion - x1 The 3rd Illusion - x1 The 4th Illusion - x2 The 5th Illusion - x0 The 6th Illusion - x1 The 7th Illusion - x2 The 8th Illusion - x3 The 9th Illusion - x4 The 10th Illusion - x5

Fixed the issue where you could hit enemies behind pillars in the Altar of Blood.

[Game World]

Hystria Ruins was expanded. An old wall of the Hystria Ruins collapsed, revealing a new path to other areas of the ruins. More players can now make use of the monster zone in Hystria Ruins,



[Developer’s Comment]

Continuing the revamping of monster zones, this week we updated Hystria Ruins.

Adventurers have to prepare a certain level of equipment to enter Aakman Temple and Hystria Ruins and you must endure various obstacles, such as roaming the desert, so we think they should be more satisfactory for adventurers to conquer.

With this week's patch, Hystria Ruins is now more than twice its previous size, so now you can explore the area with ease.

The next location we're looking into is somewhat similar to the Hystria Ruins, the Hasrah Ancient Ruins

You can now see the appearance of Blackstar weapons in the Dye (J) menu.

However, they are still not available to dye.



[Developer’s Comment]

Blackstar main weapons were not shown in the Dye menu, so it was difficult to match other gear’s colors with Blackstar weapons.

With this week’s patch, you can now view Blackstar weapons when dyeing other equipment.

Fixed the issue where the below scrolls had incorrect effects. However, please note that these items will be disabled until next week’s maintenance as further measures are being finalized. We will share with you the details of this soon. Before <Combat EXP +100%> Effect: Combat EXP +100% Duration: 10 Min. Cooldown: 10 Min. <Skill EXP +50%> Effect: Skill EXP +50% Duration: 10 Min.

For details on newly added Pearl Shop Update, please click < Here > !

Changes were made so that among the buffs you can obtain through Rage Absorption (Common) and Rage Absorption (Innate), the following buffs can be applied simultaneously with the same buffs.

Buffs that cannot be stacked Buffs that can be stacked Attack Speed Increase, Casting Speed Increase, Movement Speed Increase All AP Increase, All DP Increase, All Evasion Rate Increase, All Critical Hit Increase

A. Critical Hit Rate +30% buff from Maehwa's General Apricot

B. Critical Hit Rate +35% buff from Maehwa's Rage Absorption (Innate)

The above buffs are displayed as 2 separate icons and both critical hit rate increase buffs from General Apricot and Rage Absorption are stacked.

C. Attack Speed +20% buff from Maehwa's General Apricot

D. Attack Speed +40% buff from Maehwa's Rage Absorption (Innate)

The above buffs are also displayed as 2 separate icons, but Attack Speed buffs are not stacked. Therefore, the higher stat buff, the Attack Speed buff from Rage Absorption, is the only one applied.

[Developer’s Comment]

With this week's update, the most powerful of the Rage Absorption buffs, crit. increase, was changed to be stackable.

Now when you have a stackable Rage Absorption buff active and you receive another buff with the same effect, an additional icon will be displayed to show it.

However, please note that if you have a non stackable Rage Absorption buff active and you receive another buff with the same effect, you will still see another icon, but the effects will not be stacked.

Fixed Giath to not display its name during the animation where it rips out of the Dark Rift.

Fixed the bosses from Dark Rifts to not attack characters under level 55 before being hit.

Fixed the issue where Red Foot Assassin’s monster underwear was displayed abnormally.

Doubled the time that it took a monster from the Aakman Temple’s upper area to reappear after dying and placed additional monsters.

Decreased the number of monsters from some of the Aakman Temple’s lowest areas.

[Developer’s Comment]

We ran the event that reduced monster respawn rate in Aakman Temple for a few weeks, which many adventurers enjoyed. And last month, we patched each of the “rooms” so that they each have different spawn times and to have similar efficiency in monster hunting. However, some rooms had too many monsters spawning, so we had to tweak either the number of monsters or their respawn times.

[Quest]

The completion NPC for the "[Awakening] Artifacts of the Naga" quest will not disappear right after completing the quest anymore, and the completion dialogue has been fixed to be more natural.

The body of the naga near the relic at the Extraction Mill will not sink into the ground anymore when you touch it.

[Knowledge]

Fixed the issue where some quests were shown as requiring knowledge when you go through the Awakening quest of a class you have already acquired Awakening knowledge for.

If you already have the Awakening knowledge, it will not be displayed as required in the quest list.

Fixed the issue where you could buy a knowledge that was already bought from an NPC.

Added an option in the Knowledge (H) menu to toggle the knowledge information displayed next to monster names. This can be toggled in the Knowledge (H) menu and is turned off by default.



[Developer’s Comment]

It is always a pleasant surprise when you acquire S knowledge from monsters you meet everyday. Some even make this their goal to collect all S knowledge. However, it was always a hassle to search the knowledge menu to see what knowledge you have for each of the monsters.

With this week's patch, you can now see them next to the monster's name. However, since it could be misunderstood by new players as the monster's grade or level, the feature is turned off by default.
