Translator Notes
KoG isn't posting any official word about the Offline Event Q&A, so I'm not adding any full-fledged translations on Babel.
Instead, any extra news regarding upcoming content can be checked in a document summary written by Fries [here] ('not possible', 'we're not planning it', 'we are considering it'). Thank you for your hard work!
Mini Q&A
How does the 2x crafting effect from the 'Ultimate Truth' title apply?
The title 'Ultimate Truth' has an effect that gives 10% chance for a double item craft from Alchemist.
The effect is applied to all crafted items as one (except limited number craft items), ex. if the effect succeeds, you get 20 Giant Stone Apples instead of 10.
Do 'Master EXP Medal' and the synergy effect 'Laby's Friend' stack?
'Master EXP Medal' and 'Laby's Friend' are effects that increase your Master EXP received.
They stack with each other and can be used together.
The 'Master EXP Medal' is displayed in the dungeon results window, because it applies at the end of the dungeon. 'Laby's Friend' affects Master EXP dropped from each mob. Therefore, it is not reflected in the dungeon results window.
Developer Notes
The first balance patch of the event 'Elsword Restaurant' will be released on Thursday, November 9.
We plan to complete all characters' balance by Thursday, April 25.
Do note that it's difficult to provide detailed schedules, since the time required for each task is variable.
The balance patch includes changes for Chung, Elesis and LuCiel. Let's start with some information about the direction of this balance patch.
First, the intention is to improve character systems to ease the usage of systems and skills that are inconvenient. During the last Q&A and on the Balance Forum, many adventurers have been speaking up about LuCiel's Combination Gauge system and requested improvements. LuCiel's Bravery skills do not consume MP and are entirely reliant on Combination Gauge, so we changed them to use MP and only consume CP as a bonus effect.
In addition, in terms of small / big boss damage dealing, some classes are insufficient, so their skills are renewed to improve this.
Party synergy will be added to characters that lack it, and some numerical adjustments will be made in the case of characters with excessive supporting.
Lasty, on August 3 (Thursday), we announced reviewing implementing re-awakening for all characters. This change is scheduled for the balance patch in early January.
After this balance patch, an after-service patch will be released after 2 weeks of monitoring the changes and hearing your feedback.
Please share your thoughts on the Balance Forum.
