Greetings Adventurers!

This week we implement the new changes coming to the enhancement system. These new additions should make it easier to get the gear you need to take on bigger and badder enemies.

First we're adding Valks’ Cry, an item that will add to your current failstack up to +10. Additionally, we have added the option to extract Valks’ Cry and Cron Stones from Pearl Outfits. Valks’ Cry can also be obtained from events, drops, attendance, loyalty, and more. Alongside Valks’ we are adding Fairy's Blessing which will work the same as Valks’ Cry and can be obtained by trading in Leila's Petals to specific NPC’s.

The long awaited Caphras Stone enhancement system is also coming which once added to one of your items, will accumulate energy that will allow for an enhancement with a 100% chance of success.

To help usher in these changes, events will be starting which will help all of our adventurers understand these systems.

For more detailed information about these and other changes, continue on to the rest of the patch notes!

The following contents are now available: Valks’ Cry (Outfit Extraction) Valks’ Cry and Cron Stone are items that help you enhance your gear. They will be obtainable through various ways such as droppable loot, event rewards, attendance rewards, NPC shop, Loyalties shop under Pearl Shop, and through extracting from Outfits. Valks’ Cry increases your Valks enhancement chance by +1. At max, your Valks enhancement chance can be stacked up to +10 using Valks’ Cry. (Valks’ Cry is Family-bound). The amount of Valks Enhancement Chance your character has will appear in the Enhancement window. Cron Stone helps protect your Enhancement level from dropping when you fail at Enhancement. (Cron Stone is Family-bound).

(A total of 32 Valks’ Cry will be extracted from [Ninja] Gavi Regan Armor.)

Caphras Stone Once your item is combined with the Caphras Stone, it will begin to gain EXP and as your item increases in level it will gain a boost in stats. Once it has reached the maximum Caphras Level of 20 the ‘Upgrade Enhancement’ button will become activated and your gear can be enhanced to the next level i.e. III→IV, provided it is at Max Durability. Although, be warned, this will reduce Durability to 0 and reset the Caphras Level. Caphras Stone drop at a higher rate in Kamayslvian regions compared to Valencian regions. The areas where Ancient Spirit Dust and Caphras Stone can be obtained are the following. Bashim Base Desert Naga Temple Titium Valley Gahaz Bandit's Lair Cadry Ruins Taphtar Plain (Centaurus Herd) Basilisk Den Crescent Shrine Pila Ku Jail Roud Sulfur Mine Polly's Forest Fadus Habitat Navarn Steppe Tooth Fairy Forest (Forest Ronaros) Manshaum Forest Mirumok Ruins Gyfin Rhasia Temple Caphras Stone can also be obtained through Daily Quest rewards, and it can also be obtained at a chance from opening Narc Magic Sealing Stone Reward Bundle. You can obtain Ancient Spirit Dust and Caphras Stone from Mining, Underwater Gathering, Gathering (Collecting from tree sap or blood using Fluid Collector, Butchering, Lumbering), or from defeating monsters in areas of Balenos, Valencia and Kamasylvia. You can get Caphras Stone x10 by performing Simple Alchemy with Ancient Spirit Dust x50, Black Stone (Weapon/Armor) x10, and Black Stone Powder x1. However, you will get the same amount of Alchemy EXP as when you make the stones one by one. You can get Caphras Stone x1 for performing Simple Alchemy with Ancient Spirit Dust x5 and Black Stone (Weapon/Armor) x1. With the new enhancement system added, Ancient Spirit Dust and Caphras Stone have also been added. For the table to see the benefits of Caphras Stone and Upgrade Enhancement, please click <Here>.

Laila's Petal can be exchanged for Fairy’s Blessing from Fairy Queen Theiah or Ceilyn. (Laila’s Petal can be obtained by defeating monsters, Gathering, and Fishing.)
