August Update: Brune’s Glory Tiers, Combat Fixes, and New Items

The August update introduces combat and quest fixes, a new Brune’s Glory tier system, equipment balancing, and additional Cash Shop items.

### Monster and Skill Fixes

- Restored missing animations and skill names for Yillis’s Red Waterball.

- Fixed Cyndea not hitting players positioned too close to her.

- Restored missing damage from the final punch in Gember’s attack sequence.

- Adjusted Dark Veilnus’s hitboxes.

- Fixed an issue that allowed players to attack Dark Veilnus during the prologue scene.

- Fixed Ruruga’s ice spell hitting behind nearby players.

- Fixed the Disco skill for Valor Moa and Cheer skill for Lycian not ending their animations correctly.

- Corrected projectile launch positions for scaled NPCs, including giant and miniature models.

### Quest Fixes

- Restored missing text in the Makot Liberation War quest.

- Fixed **[Party] Rescuing Colleagues** allowing the same NPC to be rescued multiple times.

- Vesphio Trophy can now drop without the related quest, making lower-level crafting more accessible.

### Brune’s Glory Tier System

The Brune’s Glory season has been reset with a new tier system:

- **Critical — 1 to 750 points:** 80% loss protection, 30% point-gain bonus, and a maximum loss of 15 points

- **Beginner — 751 to 1,000 points:** 60% loss protection, 15% point-gain bonus, and a maximum loss of 20 points

- **Transition — 1,001 to 1,300 points:** 30% loss protection, standard point gains, and a maximum loss of 25 points

- **Veteran — 1,301 points or more:** Original scoring rules and a maximum loss of 30 points

The system gradually reduces protection as players advance, creating a smoother transition into the competitive brackets.

The Brune’s Glory registration window now also displays the number of players registered for both 1v1 and 3v3 matches.

### PvP and PvE Equipment Balance

Equipment now behaves differently inside and outside the Arena:

- **PvP:** Only base STR, DEX, INT, HP, MP, and STA attributes are applied.

- **PvE:** All enchantment bonuses remain active.

This separates competitive balancing from normal PvE equipment progression.

### Other Improvements

- Restored Ingen to its original version.

- Added the Unlocker Stone Box to the Cash Shop.

- Unlocker Stones can convert supported non-tradable items into tradable boxes.

- At the time of this update, only Warlord’s Tokens were supported.

- Added the Warlord’s Token Box to Lasvise for use with the Unlocker Stone.
