Ulukita Patch Guide

Introduction

Ulukita, the Exalted Land is an expansion to the Mediah region, located south of Altinova. Ulukita arrived on Korean Live servers on 10th August 2023, with a global release on 23rd August 2023.

Ulukita is a smaller expansion than previous land expansions, but still offers 4 new end-game monster zones and brand new items, including Ator’s Shoes.

Asparkan City and Nodes

Asparkan is the new city for the Ulukita region and located in the north of the region as you enter Ulukita. The city has a storage keeper and seperate storage space.

Unlike other regions, the nodes in Ulukita currently do not have any production nodes for materials and discovering the nodes does not give any maximum energy increase.

However, you may still want to connect the nodes to level up the node for an increase in Item Drop Rate at the new monster zones. Each node only costs 1 Contribution Point to invest in.

Silver (Church) Buff NPC

Dematur from Muzgar will give the “church buffs” in exchange for silver

※ You can also check the location of the nearest Silver Buff NPC by clicking the magnifying glass button on the left side of the minimap. (Find NPCs – Silver (Church))

Main Story Questline

The Ulukita main story questline focuses on the disappearance of Prince Bareeds III, who was exiled from Altinova and is the last remaining member of the royal Mediah family. Rumors are circulating that the prince has been seen in Ulukita, and it is important to find the missing prince and last royal lineage of Mediah.

Once you have completed the pre-quest, you can start the main story quest [Ulukita] Whispers in Mediah’s Wind by talking to your Black Spirit.

• Upon finishing the main story quest, you will be rewarded with the title <Janissary> and can complete a once-per-family quest “[Ulukita] Prince Bareeds’ Gift” to be awarded with the Ator’s Powerstone item.

Faces of the Fort Quest:

• The screenshots below may help you find certain NPCs to collect the 5 tokens. Unfortunately this quest could only be completed once and I missed some important NPCs you also need to talk to. I recommend using the Korean guide posted below if the screenshots below leave you missing a token. For the first token in the inven guide, you will need Flax Thread x5

Prince’s Crumbling Heart Quest:

New Items

Ator’s Shoes

The “Ator’s Shoes” are the Fallen God/Labreska/Dahn’s Gloves equivalent for the shoe armor slot.

There are 2 different versions of the shoes available for Damage Reduction and Evasion builds. You can also swap between the two shoes through an exchange quest.

To create the shoes, you require one of the following:

• or PEN Muskan’s Shoes (level 10 caphras)

You then need to obtain the “Flame of Resonance” which can be obtained as a drop when defeating monsters in the Dark Seeker’s Retreat or Yzrahid Highlands monster zone. You can also craft Flame of Resonance by Heating (L) Embers of Resonance x100.

These embers are also available as a drop from Dark Seeker’s Retreat and Yzrahid Highlands.

Since there are 2 different types of shoes for Damage Reduction and Evasion, you can exchange between the two types by completing an exchange quest.

Quest NPC	Requirements	Completion reward
Barkala (Located in Atessahra)	Hand over 1 pair of Ator’s Shoes Hand over Scorching Sun Shard x200	1 pair of Ator’s Shoes – different from the one handed over (Same level of enhancement)

Origin of Dark Hunger

You can obtain Origin of Dark Hunger and Essence of Devouring as a rare drop from monsters in any of the new Ulukita grind zones.

Essence of Devouring	Essence of Devouring x4 can be processed (L) using the Heating option to create Origin of Dark Hunger x1 ※ Central Market maximum price limit: 750 million Silver.

Your failstack will increase by a fixed number depending on your current failstack and must be at least 100 or higher, but lower than 300.

• For example, if your failstack is currently 132, then devouring an Origin of Dark Hunger will increase your failstack by +10, to 142.

Kuadir Fragments can be obtained from all monster zones in Ulukita, and are used to enhance a Crystal of Elkarr.

The Kuadir Fragments cannot be registered on the Central Market, but the upgraded Crystal of Elkarr can be registered and purchased on the Central Market.
