[Content]

• Dark Rift Contraction has begun.

  • Due to the contraction period starting with this maintenance, the following bosses will no longer appear from the Dark Rift and all existing ones of its kind will disappear as well.

    • Giath

    • Dastard Bheg

    • Gehaku

    • Moghulis

    • Ancient Puturum

    • Ahib Griffon

  • Please stay tuned for further announcement on Dark Rift Contraction/Expansion periods.

• The amount of Max HP increased for Conquest Wars at Balenos, Serendia, Calpheon, Mediah, and Valencia Territory was increased from 500 to 5,000.

  • The Max HP will now be reduced by 500 each time when occupying each territory in succession.

    • E.g. If you were to occupy a certain territory, then the Max HP will be reduced from 5,000 to 4,500 when participating in the next Conquest War.

• The amount of Max HP increased per Conquest Level will now be displayed in the Territory information within the World Map (M).

  • The Conquest Level increases by 1 each time you occupy a territory, and the amount of Max HP increased will be reduced depending on the Conquest Level when participating in Conquest Wars. When a guild which had occupied a territory loses its territory due to being defeated at a Conquest War, the Max HP increase effect will be recovered by 500.

  • e.g. Guild "A" occupies the Valencia Territory for 4 consecutive weeks, and then the guild attempts to continue its streak for the 5th week of Conquest Wars (while receiving a Max HP of +3,000) but then is defeated. When participating in a Conquest War again after 3 weeks of preparations, guild "A" will now receive a Max HP +4,000 effect.

When territories are occupied consecutively	Max HP after reduction	When defeated	Bonus HP
Unoccupied	5,000	1 week after the defeat	3,000
1st week of occupation	4,500	2 weeks after the defeat	3,500
2nd week of occupation	4,000	3 weeks after the defeat	4,000
3rd week of occupation	3,500	4 weeks after the defeat	4,500
4th week of occupation	3,000	5 weeks after the defeat	5,000

• The Max HP increase/decrease effects for participations in Conquest Wars only apply within the range of 0–5,000.

  • When you bring the mouse cursor over the question mark button on the occupying area of the Guild Information window, you can view the information about the Max HP increase for Conquest Wars and about the Max HP decrease for consecutively occupying territories. It will also show you the amount of Max HP you will have increased when your guild participates in Conquest Wars.

• The amount of Max HP increased for Node Wars was increased to 500.

• Bartering was added to Guild Rank > Ranking.

• Now, if your character dies near the Old Wisdom Tree and you choose to resurrect at the closest Town, your character will resurrect at the Old Wisdom Tree, instead of the Caduil Forest Path.

• New Adventure Log for celebrating Valentine's Day was added.

  • Now you are required to collect 1 type of item used to promise an eternal friendship instead of 2 types for completing Deve's Encyclopedia Book 6 Chapter 4.

  • Please refer to the event page above for details on the Valentine’s Day Adventure Log.

The character balance adjustments we have started since our last updates do not only aim at finding the balance between Monster Zones and PvP, but also that between characters, and between Awakening and Succession. The last skill adjustments we made for some characters will be followed by Awakening-Succession adjustments, starting with Warrior.

Our main concern is to allow you to choose between Awakening and Succession depending on your individual preferences or tastes, instead of weighing these two for their damages or efficiencies. We will also do our best to release the Successions of other pending characters successfully.
