Patch Notes - January 26, 2022
Greetings Adventurers!
Guild Base Server
● Added content to enable the designation of a specific server group as a guild's "base" server for the sake of promoting guild unity and camaraderie.
- You can now select one of the server groups (excluding Season, Olvia, Arsha and Rulupee servers) as your guild's base server.
- Only the Guild Master can choose a guild's base server, which they may do by selecting it on the Guild information window.
* You can set a guild's base server once every thirty days, so we recommend you choose your guild's base server with care.
(You can change the base server from the Guild (G) window by selecting a specific base server group, then confirming the change.)
- All guild members will be able to see the guild base server selected by the Guild Master when logging in or on the Server Change window.
- Selecting a base server will eliminate the waiting time (10 min) when moving between a server group's channels.
- With the addition of guild base servers, the names of certain servers have been changed.

Crypt of Resting Thoughts Rework
- The Ahib Salun Wolf and Bear Spearmaidens have begun patrolling inside the Crypt of Resting Thoughts.
- They've become greatly empowered thanks to the overflow of Turasil's aura, and must be treated with caution.
- The Ahib Dark Chasers draw from Turasil's aura, and will attack Adventurers from the darkness.
- The Ahib Dark Mages draw from Turasil's aura to cast healing spells upon wounded Ahib or deal devastating damage upon Adventurers.
* Use debuff attacks to interrupt the Ahib Dark Mages casting to take them down with greater ease.
- Sightings of the Dark Knight have been reported in the Crypt of Resting Thoughts.
- The Dark Knights are beings corrupted by Turasil's aura, and, once defeated, have a low chance to summon Raz'nal.
- Raz'nal is a powerful foe that demands the utmost attention of any Adventurers who dare challenge her.
