Ranger's Awakening skills are—for the most part—powerful, but they were also designed with long cooldowns. As a result, many Adventurers would rely on main weapon skills instead of Awakening skills when fighting monsters that required continuous damage dealt over time. To improve on this, we adjusted the PvE damage of her Awakening skills so that Ranger could continuously deal damage in monster zones with her combos. 
● Beast Roar - Improved the skill to activate its Skill Add-on effects even on the first hit.
● Removed the blurring effect when attacking with Heilang.
● Changed the PvE damage and number of hits for the following skills.

● Prime: Trample - Improved the skill to evenly deal damage within the adjusted area of effect.
● Prime: Jolt Wave - Improved the skill to evenly deal damage within the adjusted area of effect.
Many Adventurers who play Succession Tamers use Prime: Whiplash as their main skill, so we tried to improve Prime: Bolt Wave and Prime: Jolt Wave so the two skills can be used in addition to Prime: Whiplash, thereby creating a richer and more diverse PvE gameplay experience.
Succession

Most Adventurers playing Succession Musa tend to use Prime: Sea Tornado repetitively in monster zones, which may feel a bit uninteresting to play. Hence, we adjusted Prime: Gale's damage and critical hit rate buff in PvE to address this, and improved the Serene Mind effects you gain from Prime: Carver and Prime: Divider. Awakening

We changed the PvE damage and number of hits for Awakening skills like Crust Crusher and Flow: Foul Play, which are the key skills for Awakening Musa in general. Now Crust Crusher and Flow: Foul Play are stronger than ever, and you can fill the gaps when they're on cooldown with Projection and Flow: Extra Credit.

| Chain Crash: Sah Chakram | 1254% x 9 | 1312% x 9 |
Awakening Kunoichi often ends up behind a monster after using her Main Weapon skills, which makes it inconvenient to switch back to Awakening. To alleviate this, we added the 'no collision while moving' effect to Half Moon Slash so that Kunoichi could easily attack from behind while in Awakening stance. We also increased the PvE damage for her skills other than Lethal Spin Spree so that you could continuously deal damage even when Lethal Spin Spree wasn't available.

● Prime: Roaring Tiger - Added a Critical Hit Rate +25% effect for PvE only.
Succession Mystic is excellent at combo attacks, but her PvE damage for single skills were lacking in comparison to other classes. To compensate for this, we increased the PvE damage and Critical Hit Rate effects for some Succession skills including Prime: Thunder Pound, Prime: Tornado Kick, and Prime: Rage Hammer.

* An Increased Life EXP +100% buff until you reach Artisan 1 will be active in the normal servers for two weeks between Apr. 7 (after maintenance) – Apr. 21 (before maintenance) in celebration of the New Olvia server.
Monster
● The Vessel of Inquisition, emanating the scent of death, has been discovered in a part of Star's End where adventurers rarely set foot. The rotting stench of Blackstar from the Vessel of Inquisition envelopes all of Star's End, making Kzarka's apostles willingly sacrifice themselves as offerings.
- Changed the locations of some Star's End monsters.
- Placed a total of three Vessels of Inquisition around the edges of Star's End.
- Strike the Vessel of Inquisition to call forth Kzarka's apostles, who covet the energy contained within it.
- The apostles will attack the Vessel of Inquisition to obtain the energy spilling out from the fragment of the Blackstar. They will disperse once the Vessel of Inquisition is destroyed.
- The apostles coveting the power within the Vessel of Inquisition are stronger than previous Star's End monsters.
- The Vessel of Inquisition will shatter if too many apostles coveting its power gather.
Star's End is the most popular monster zone for Adventurers. Therefore, we added a new mechanic so that Star's End could be enjoyed by even more Adventurers (those of you who have been to Traitor's Graveyard in Marie Cave may find this mechanic familiar). However, be warned, the apostles coveting the power within the Vessels of Inquisition are stronger than the regular monsters in Star's End.
