Global Lab Changes this week!

Dragon Scale Fossil – Increased droprate

• The drop rate of the ‘Dragon Scale Fossil’ item among the loot that can be obtained from killing monsters in the three hunting grounds of Tshira Ruins, Red Wolf Village, and Sherekhan’s Grave (day and night) has been increased.
• After Garmoth, who appears in Sherekhan’s Tomb, Red Wolf Village, and Tshira Ruins in Drieghan, attacks with fire, it has been adjusted upward so that Drieghan’s old box appears with a certain probability.
  • In addition, the ‘Dragon Scale Fossil’, which could only be obtained from one of the loot that could be obtained when destroying Drieghan’s Old Box, has been increased so that it can be obtained from a minimum of 5 to a maximum of 10.

The number of ‘Dragon Scale Fossils’ that can be obtained in Drieghan has been adjusted. You can now obtain more ‘Dragon Scale Fossils’ not only at each hunting ground, but also at the appearance event of Garmoth, which was a gimmick for the Drieghan area. This patch will be updated directly to the official servers next week.

In addition, after the caphras stone drop rate has been increased in each hunting ground, we are carefully checking the status of each official server. This will continue to be the case in the future, and please note that Caphras stone supply, gathering, Blackstar armor, and various rewards may be adjusted depending on the situation.

• In areas other than Calpheon, dragon scale fossils have been changed so that they can be exchanged with the advice of Valks.
  •  Items that can be exchanged through Dragon Scale Fossil items are as follows.

Required item	Exchange item
30 Dragon Scale Fossils	1 Valks’ Advice (+20)
350 Dragon Scale Fossils	1 Valks’ Advice (+40)

– NPCs in each region where the corresponding function has been added are as follows.

Season Server and Mini Servers

•  Season server only, private server (mini server) has been added.
  • A private server is a server that one adventurer can create for 24 hours.
  • The private server is for the season only, and only season characters can enter.
  • Private servers are largely classified into Calpheon private servers, Valencia private servers, and Kamasylvia private servers. If you enter the Valencia private server, you cannot use other regions, only the Valencia region.
  • Adventurers who have obtained private server privileges (seasonal characters only) can invite 14 other adventurers.
  • The private server is initialized at 8:00 every day, and the permissions are changed based on this time.
  • Hunting and basic production activities are possible on the private server.
  • During the season, we plan to give adventurers a chance to gain privileges through events.

The private server (mini server) revealed at the last Heidel banquet has been updated. This content means ‘my own small server’ and we called it <Lara Server> inside, but to put it simply, it is a server where I can use one of the estates alone. You can think of it as being able to rent a pool villa by yourself. Instead, being alone can be lonely, so you can invite up to 14 other adventurers for the season server only, so you can be alone or with like-minded people. Very occasionally, it is my hope that the needs of adventurers who want to live without interference from other adventurers will be met to some extent through this private server.

For your reference, the right to use the private server will be selected through an event. Details will be announced in the event notice.

• On the seasonal server, the recommended hunting grounds for a 3-person party, Waragon Nest, Basilisk Lair, and Schultz Guard, have been added to have a low probability of appearing <Heavenly Axis> Afuaru when killing monsters.
  • The above three areas are recommended hunting grounds for a three-person party, and up to three people can acquire loot when defeating Afuaru.
  • When you defeat Afuaru, you can definitely acquire Tuvala Ore and Black Stone of smelted magical power, and you can definitely strengthen Tuvala equipment in the IV level, excluding accessories, to the V level. You can acquire the ‘Black Stone of Frozen Waves’.
• The HP of Afuaru, who appears in the Season Server, has been reduced by 50% compared to before.
  

Enhancing QoL

• It is said that the priests who purify the darkness of the equipment were dispatched to the blacksmiths of the villages where they were located. Equipment purification is now available to equipment-related NPCs located in each metropolis.
  • NPCs in each region where the corresponding function has been added are as follows.

Shai Costume

•  To make ‘[Shai] Sherekhan’s Descendant Costume’, you need ‘Design: Sherekhan’s Descendant Costume – Shai’.
  • * ‘Design: Sherekhan’s Descendant Costume – Shai’ can be obtained as a reward by completing the following consecutive quests from ‘Tami’ in Duvencrune Village.

• * This quest can be completed once per family, and you can accept and proceed if you are level 40 or higher without character restrictions.
• * After completing the quest, you can purchase it through the Affinity Shop of ‘Siemo’ in Duvencrune Village.
• * The title of <Tami’s Friend>, which can be obtained when completing this quest and making costumes, has been added.

Node War/Siege

• The guild skill gathering command, which is available only to the guild leader, has been improved so that assistants can also use it.
•  The guild assembly command skill cast before the start of the Node/Conquest War has been changed so that it cannot be moved after the Node/Conquest War starts.
• The conditions for using the Gathering Command on the battlefield have been improved as follows.

It was requested by many adventurers to change the assembly order to be able to be used by other positions other than the guild leader. In fact, it was planned to be made possible immediately after the aide update, but sometimes when developing, the content seems simple, but there are tasks that take longer than expected because the structure needs to be completely changed. Gathering was such a situation (T_T). It’s a pity that it’s later than expected, but after this patch, we have also considered expandability in relation to the position, so we will continue to improve related improvements in the future.

• In the World Map, the information on attack/defense limitation among the information on the Node War of the 1st level base has been changed so that it can be compared based on the final stats.
  • A text has been added stating that the limit value is displayed based on the final stat that can be checked in the My Stats UI
  • In the case of attack power, it is divided into main weapon attack power and awakening weapon attack power and exposed.
  • In the case of defense items, each is subdivided into evasion and damage reduction items and exposed.
  • If it is less than the limit of each stage 1 base, it is displayed in red on the UI, and if it is above the limit, it is displayed in green.

The method of limiting the stats of the 1st stage base has been changed. It is now limited based on the final stats reflected in my character, not just attack power and defense. You can check the final stats in the newly added My Information window and Equipment window. The limit of the stats of the 1st stage base had to be fully considered, including bonus attack power according to the equipment, food and elixirs, and various buffs, but during the reorganization of Node Wars, the handling method for this part was overlooked. For this reason, we sincerely apologize for the confusion caused by simply displaying attack and defense. We will strengthen the process of checking more closely to ensure that such a situation does not occur again. In addition, in line with the original purpose of being able to challenge guilds who are preparing for a base in the first stage of the base, not only attack power and defense, but also accuracy and damage reduction rate, resistance We are also considering placing additional restrictions on .

UI Updates

Now you can check all the stats applied to your character in the equipment window and my information window. And all parts that affect stats (additional attack power increase, crystals worn, buffs such as food and elixirs) are applied in real time.
※ However, the Light of Ianaros, Pilgrim’s Footsteps, and Templar’s self-defense techniques that are only applied at the base do not apply.

•  When there is news in the menu at the bottom right of the game screen, a notification speech bubble has been added.
  • If you do not check the notification, it automatically disappears after 20 seconds, and the menu where the notification is exposed is as follows.

• When you skip to the next character in the other character’s equipment/bag view, the character that cannot be accessed is skipped and moved to the next character.

Other Changes

Quest, knowledge

• The following knowledge has been added to the Age of Oceans V category.

•  ‘Reading the Minds of the Flying Fish Pirates’, a title that can be obtained by completing the knowledge of the Age of the Ocean V category, has been added.
• Two types of quests have been added to the Palgak Fish Pirates Island.

• New knowledge that can be obtained from a skeleton in a faded shroud in the basement of the Velia Ossuary has been added.

• During the quest ‘They Hidden Recovery’, the NPC’s dialogue has been changed to be more natural.
• The text that is exposed when acquiring knowledge of the strong hyuncheol of the ocean has been improved more naturally.

Backgrounds, NPCs, Effects, Cutscenes

• A camera transition effect has been added during the quest line for ‘Remains of the Fallen Soldiers’.
• The camera effect has been corrected during the quest line for ‘Constant Accidents’.
• The location of Geas’ Journal, which is required for the quest ‘Forsaken Destiny’, has been changed. Accordingly, the location that is exposed when finding directions has also changed.
• The expression of sound effects, such as a subject changing position, has been corrected to be more natural.

• The shadows of crops planted in the garden have been improved more naturally.
• When using the buff effect of Krogdalo harness equipment with horses or donkeys on nearby allies, the phenomenon that the operation of allies in progress such as fishing, processing, and extension of annexes stops has been fixed. 

Class Changes

All Classes

•  The bug in which a skill other than sprint was activated when pressing the Shift key immediately after pressing the Tab key while moving forward in a combat stance of a specific class has been fixed.
  • The classes in which the bug has been corrected are as follows.

● The description of the defense judgment of Evasive Explosive III – Absolute has been changed to match the reality.

Ninja, Kunoichi

• The description of the increase in melee evasion rate among the effects of Killer Training I~XXI has been modified to match the reality.
  • However, the actual applied evasion rate increase effect is the same as before.

Before change	after change
Melee Evasion Increase +1%	Melee Evasion +0.25%

An error has been confirmed in the description of the ‘Melee Evasion Increase’ effect applied to Kunoichi and Ninja’s passive skills. Since the character’s skill effect is a very important number, we will further strengthen our own inspection process to prevent such issues from occurring again.

 

Shai

• If you press left click while stopping sprinting in a non-combat state, it has been changed to switch to a combat state.
• The bug that the position of the weapon was awkward in the demonstration video of rage absorption, rage transfer, and emergency evasion has been corrected.
• The bug in which the knee pierces through the costume when bending the knee forward when in the standby or combat position while wearing a specific costume has been improved.

The so-called ‘Shai knee piercing’ bug was a very unfortunate issue for us as well. Structurally, it was a very difficult problem to solve, but it was determined that it was necessary to correct it, and since last year’s Calpheon Banquet, I have been constantly looking for other ways to improve it. Then I came to the conclusion that it would be much better if I did it by hand, depending on the clothes and movements, and I can show you the results today. I wanted to do it a little faster, but it’s a little late because it takes an absolute amount of time. I hope it will be a small but meaningful patch for adventurers who enjoy Shai. (This patch applies to all clothes)

Hashashin

•  The bug that other attack skills could be activated while transitioning from sprint to non-combat has been corrected.
