Chimera Event, Network Stability, and Offline Timer Update

This update covers changes introduced during the preceding month, including the return of the Chimera event, network improvements, new cosmetic items, and quality-of-life changes to timed effects.

### Chimera Event

The Chimera event is active and was scheduled to remain available until the launch of the new map in February.

Rewards are based on damage contribution:

- **100,000 or more damage:** 5 Crystals

- **50,000 or more damage:** 1 Bloodreign Lucky Box

- **1,000 or more damage:** 10 Gold Bellpeso

- **Present on the map:** 50 Bloodreign Tokens

The player who receives the boss’s initial aggression and the player who delivers the final hit also receive additional rewards.

### Network and Server Stability

An investigation into recent disconnections identified two primary causes: connection-routing problems and external attacks.

- Added the Amazon Accelerator Proxy option to the launcher to improve routing.

- Confirmed that the server had been targeted by distributed denial-of-service attacks.

- Reworked significant parts of the game’s networking system to reduce the effect of those attacks.

Attempts continued periodically, but the new protections prevented them from taking the server offline. Network activity remained under continuous monitoring.

### Crystal Shop Additions

The following rare cosmetic items have been added to the Crystal Shop:

- Rabbit Head Band

- Viva’s Head

- Warm Wolfskin Hat

- Spider Queen’s Mask

- Golem Helmet

- Ogre Mask

- Gember’s Teddy Bear Bag

- Ancient Knight’s Helm

These items remained obtainable through rare in-game drops while also becoming available for direct purchase.

### General Changes

- Updated Reaper Hat to allow trading.

- Updated Pumpkin Head Costume to allow dyeing.

- Added an item-repair NPC inside the Battle Arena.

- Corrected the Swift Boots description.
