Every class change, skill by skill →New
- Episode 19 hunting grounds in Issgard for base levels 208-253, plus the MVP Ultra Limacina. Talk to any Warper and pick Issgard (Lv 200+). The Episode 19 story, instances and gear come in later updates.
- Monthly Hunting Season. Each month one monster type is hunted; October is the Undead Hunt. Kill 300 / 1,500 / 5,000 matching monsters for 300 / 700 / 1,500 Hunting Coins, and the title "Season Hunter" at 5,000. Kills count per character; you see your progress every 100 kills and at login.
- Event change: the rotating Invasion is now the Poring Invasion. Once a day, in one of the three event slots (15:00, 22:00 or 05:00 server time, CET), 60 porings invade a field for 30 minutes; the 10-minute warning names the field. Every hit does 1 damage, so every level and class fights the same. Every 5 kills give 1 Festival Token (up to 10), and about 1 kill in 5 drops a Choko Gangjeong (restores 10 % HP and SP). After 150 kills or 20 minutes the King Poring appears in the middle of the field: stay within 15 cells of it for 30 seconds to get 5 more Festival Tokens. The weekly cap of 60 Festival Tokens still applies.
- The Veil Cartographer also accepts 700 Tier 3 MVP Footprints for a Tier 4 MVP card (500 Tier 4 Footprints still work).
Changes
- Levels 251-274 now use the same eased EXP table as 200-250.
- Shadow Cross's Fatal Shadow Claw costs 125 AP, the official value was 120 since the last update.
- These skills now cost their official SP, cheaper than before: Spirit Handler's Hogogong Strike 54-72 SP was 67-85, Soul Ascetic's Talisman of Soul Stealing 30 SP was 84, Arch Mage's Storm Cannon Lv 1 76 SP was 79.
- These skills now cost their official SP, more than before: Troubadour's and Trouvere's Rhythmical Wave 78-102 SP was 56-80, Inquisitor's Blazing Flame Blast Lv 5 70 SP was 68, Shinkiro's and Shiranui's Cold Blooded Cannon 58-76 SP was 52-88: Lv 1-3 cost a little more, Lv 5-10 less.
- Shadow Cross's Dancing Knife lasts the official 40/60/80/100/120 seconds by skill level was 120 seconds at every level.
- Skill descriptions: 25 skill tooltips and 4 skill-window SP costs now show the real damage, AP, duration and SP (old numbers and typos fixed; the skills themselves did not change).
Fixes
- MVP prizes work like official again: every prize item of an MVP can drop (at the old rate only the first item of each MVP's list ever dropped).
- MVP Footprints and the MVP tracker now also count Boitata (Brasilis dungeon) and Venomous Chimera (Werner Laboratory), which were left out by mistake.
- Biolo's Hell Tree now casts Hell Dusty on you about every 35 seconds, also while you fight (before, it mostly did so only when you stood still).
- Meister's Rush Strike dealt about 7 times its official damage (each of its 7 hits used the full skill ratio); now the official total.
- Imperial Guard's Radiant Spear dealt about 2 times its official damage (each of its 2 hits used the full skill ratio); now the official total.
- Sky Emperor's Sky Moon dealt about a third of its official damage (its 3 hits shared one ratio); now it hits 3 times at the full ratio, as official.
- Troubadour's and Trouvere's Rhythmical Wave dealt about 5 times its official damage (each of its 5 hits used the full skill ratio); now the official total.
- Throw Kunai (Ninja, Kagerou/Oboro, Shinkiro/Shiranui) dealt up to 3 times its official damage (each of its 3 hits used the full skill ratio); now the official total.
- Metallic Sound (Minstrel/Wanderer, Troubadour/Trouvere) dealt up to 2 times its official damage (each of its 2 hits used the full skill ratio); now the official total.
- Soul Ascetic's Talisman of Protection now gives the official 2 AP (before, it gave none).
- These items now work as official: Wonder Egg Basket (its LUK-based ATK/MATK bonus), Diadem of Bruenhild (confusion immunity from +7), Recooked Melon Bread (also cures Decrease AGI), Elvira Candy (also ends Cursed Circle), Sealed Clown and Sealed Gypsy cards (their song skill), the Penetration shadow set (refine 54 bonus), the Nature, Boost Dagger and Racing Shoes sets (their auto-casts), and Rune Helm, Libra Diadem and Fafnir Helm (Refresh now removes Masquerade - Unlucky, Weakness, Enervation and Laziness); Mine Worker's Pickaxe and Jewelry Ring show their effect glow.
