Dear Players,

We are pleased to present the latest updates and fixes implemented on our server. Our goal is to continuously improve everyone's gaming experience. Below, we detail the changes so you can clearly understand each adjustment made.

1. Update to the Enchantment System

  • Removal of the 10% Bonus:

    • The 10% bonus added in the previous patch has been removed to make way for a more balanced system.

  • New Progression System in Enchantment:

    • How It Works:

      • Attempt Counter: Each time you attempt to enchant an item, whether successful or not, a specific counter for that item increases by +1.
      • Gradual Increase in Success Rate: This progress counter gradually increases your chances of success in future enchantment attempts for that item.

    • Benefits for the Player:

      • Reward for Persistence: The more you try to enchant an item, the higher your chances of success become. This means that even after consecutive failures, your next attempts will have an improved probability.
      • Reduction of Randomness: It decreases the reliance on pure luck, providing a fairer and more motivating experience.

    • Important Details:

      • Application in Higher Levels: The system is especially effective in enchantments from +4 onwards, where the chances of success are lower.
      • Continuous Progress: The progress counter does not reset after a successful enchantment. It continues to accumulate with each attempt, whether successful or not.
      • Maximum Enchantment Limit: Since the maximum enchantment level is +9, once achieved, there is no need for further attempts, and the counter ceases to influence.

    • Practical Example:

      • Attempt 1: You try to enchant an armor from +4 to +5 and fail. The progress counter increases by 1.
      • Attempt 2: Try again (from +4 to +5) and fail. The counter is now at 2, increasing your future chances.
      • Attempt 3: On the next attempt, you succeed! Your armor is now at +5. The progress counter remains accumulated.
      • Attempt 4: You decide to enchant from +5 to +6. The counter continues to increase with each attempt, improving your chances each time.

    • Why We Implemented This System:

      • Balance and Fairness: We want the enchantment process to be a rewarding journey, where players' effort and persistence are recognized.
      • Continuous Motivation: This system encourages players to keep trying, knowing that each attempt brings them closer to success.

2. Changes to the Key System for Instances

  • Hellhound:

    • Key Consumption: Upon entering the instance, the key will be consumed as usual.
    • Extended Access Buff:
      • Duration: After entering, you will receive a buff that lasts 1 hour.
      • Benefit: While the buff is active, you can enter the Hellhound instance as many times as you like without needing new keys.

  • Epic Temple of Renas:

    • Similar System to Hellhound.
    • Extended Access Buff:
      • Duration: The buff will last 2 hours.
      • Benefit: Unlimited entry to the instance during the buff period.

  • Note:

    • Possibility of Future Adjustments: This system may be adjusted in the future based on player feedback or as the team deems necessary.

3. Fixes in Brunes

  • Opponent's Health Visual Bug:

    • Implemented Fix: Now, the opponent's health is displayed correctly at the start of the battle.

  • Persistent Registration in Brunes:

    • Resolved Issue: Players will no longer remain registered in Brunes after entering an instance.

4. Fix for Field Mini-Bosses

  • Respawn Issue:
    • Adjustment Made: We fixed a bug where some mini-bosses stopped respawning after the server had been online for some time.
    • Continuous Monitoring: We will continue to observe to ensure the problem has been completely resolved.

5. Adjustment to the Field Fungus Boss Drop

  • Uniformity of Rewards:
    • Update: The drop from the field Fungus boss is now the same as that from the instance, ensuring fairness and consistency in the rewards obtained.

6. Changes to the Repair Kit

  • Removal from Cash Shop:

    • Update: The Repair Kit has been removed from the cash shop.

  • New Way to Obtain:

    • Availability: The Repair Kit can now only be obtained through loot boxes in the game.

  • Restricted Use:

    • Kit Ownership:
      • Only the player who summoned the Repair Kit can interact with it.
    • Repair Cost:
      • Benefit: There will be no cost to repair items using the Repair Kit.

7. Party Invitations During Combat

  • Gameplay Improvement:
    • New Feature: It is now possible to invite players to your party even if they are in combat, facilitating team formation during missions and battles.

8. Fixes in the Hellhound Daily Quest Rewards

  • Delivery of Extra Items:
    • Implemented Fix: The extra reward item is now sent directly to the player's inventory, ensuring you receive all due rewards.

9. Fix for the "Proof of Strength" Quest

  • Resolved Bug:
    • Update: We fixed the issue that was preventing progress in this quest since the last patch, allowing players to continue their journey without hindrance.

10. Removal of Pumpkins from the Field

  • End of Event:
    • Update: The pumpkins have been removed from the field after the conclusion of the special event related to them.
