Currently we're undergoing measures to identify the exact cause of these issues in order to implement the required fixes, and will keep you updated with more details in the near future.

Monster
● Changed the monster zones of the Elvia Realm as follows:| Monster Zone | Recommended AP | Changes |
| Biraghi Den | 250 → 240 | Adjusted the AP and DP of monsters in the Biraghi Den to match the changed recommended AP. Changed the level of alert for monsters in the Biraghi Den to be applied differently for individuals. Changed the level of alert in the Biraghi Den to accumulate faster than normal. Changed so that you can obtain a treasure key when defeating Biraghis. You can use the key to open the treasure chest in the Underground Storage of the Biraghi Den. |
| Altar Imp Habitat | 250 → 240 | Adjusted the DP of a normal Imp to be appropriate for the changed recommended AP. Adjusted the HP and DP of the Imps. Expanded the attack range of the Imps. Changed the location where the monsters of the Altar Imp Habitat appear. Changed to an earlier time for the monsters of the Altar Imp Habitat to re-appear. |
| Castle Ruins | 270 → 250 | Adjusted the HP, AP, and DP of monsters that appear in the Castle Ruins to be suitable for the changed recommended AP. |

 Glimmering Treasure Key  Sparkling Treasure Key  Dazzling Treasure Key |
▲ Where to use the treasure keys:
We sought to change up some of the regions of the Elvia Realm, excluding the more popular Orc Camp and Bloody Monastery zones. First, we lowered the recommended AP for Biraghi Den, Altar Imp Habitat, Castle Ruins, Swamp Naga, and Swamp Fogan to 240~260 so more Adventurers could take up the challenge, while adjusting the junk loot drops to match the reduced AP levels. Those Adventurers who are at higher AP levels than the new recommended amount will find that you'll be able to acquire much more loot than before.Regarding more detailed changes in Biraghi Den, we changed the bounty system to no longer be competitive but apply to each individual player. In order to encourage further use of this system, we reduced the respawn timer for basic Altar Imp monsters. For Bloody Monastery and Red Orc zones, we increased the density of monsters spawning in all areas except for the few "best spots." Also, while not included in this week's update, we are looking to improve the Castle Ruins mechanic to function not just within but outside of the castle walls.
- Cultist Shaman
- Cultist Giant Warrior
Quest, Knowledge

● Improved the quest "[Valencia] Clean Revenge" to no longer require ancient coins that have been removed as quest rewards.
Ever since the Old Moon Guild began offering an opportunity for a guaranteed PEN (V) accessory, many of our Adventurers have taken them up on that offer. While originally you could exchange your accessory at TET (IV) or PEN (V) enhancement levels once per family, we decided we wanted to lessen the burden of choice for our Adventurers by offering one additional chance to change the type of your accessory.● Changed the Igor Bartali's Adventure Log - Vol. 10 entry's goal from "Sell a Broken Golem's Core" to "Hand over Golem Fragment x10 to Anna Marre of Shuri Farm."

When you sometimes want to see your mount inventory, we hope for you to conveniently use this function to open your mount inventory instantly by checking the View Mount Inventory box. ● Changed the alert on the bottom right to not appear on top of the Quest widget when the Quest widget and the alert on the bottom right of the screen overlap.
