Developer Notes
As a result of constant monitoring the ED obtained through dungeon clears, the patch that took place on November 9, 2023 and affected events up until now will be examined.
We believe that ED drops are now somewhat less polarizing. However, the total amount of ED acquired through Secret Dungeons is more than four times higher than before the change.
We also confirmed that the total ED generation has doubled compared to before the patch.
This goes beyond our intention before the rework.
If this situation continues, it is predicted that ED will be further devalued in the long term.
To prevent this, we would like to decrease some of the Secret Dungeon ED rewards.
Tiers based on Combat Power are operating quite smoothly, and allow players to continuously advance step by step. Obtaining ED at tier 1 and 2 is not excessive and ED can be easily achieved at early stages of playing the game.
These tiers would not change ED supply and demand, so we decided to only adjust tiers 3 and 4.
| Tier | Entry CP | ED Reward (Before) | ED Reward (After) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 500K | 2M | 2M |
| 2 | 1M | 10M | 10M |
| 3 | 2.5M | 20M | 14M |
| 4 | 5M | 30M | 21M |
Since this part is directly connected to the game's economy, we are trying to approach it very carefully. We know how sensitive this topic is for adventurers.
However, with how significant this issue is regarding the economy and ED value, adjusting the rewards is a necessity.
Those changes will be applied after the regular maintenance on March 14th.
Even after the patch, we will continue our efforts in monitoring the ED situation to provide adventurers with a stable gaming environment.
