07/06 Patch Notes

12 July 2023

Maintenance

  • Date: July 6, 2023 (Thu)

  • Duration: 7:30 AM ~ 11:00 AM (3 hours 30 minutes)

  • Target: All Servers

Developer Notes

With the maintenance on July 6, we've changed it so you'll be able to play all Secret Dungeons whenever you want.
Regarding many opinions of players about ED supply and demand, we'll improve the ED gain in Secret Dungeons.
We're also planning to reorganize Secret Dungeons to focus on ED gain.
Details may change during the process, but we'll guide you with this change as the first step.
There is also a concern that malicious players will abuse it due to repeatedly clearing dungeons.
Due to this, we're preparing to change it so you can get a high amount of ED after clearing a Secret Dungeon a certain amount of times.
Enemies in older dungeons have been corrected to be properly affected by effects (among other nerfs to them), though this won't significantly impact overall gameplay.
Certain tooltips have been improved to clarify skill effects.
In addition, in certain cases, debuffs with speed reduction end up increasing the speed - only specific cases have been fixed regarding this.
Lastly, as of the Howling/Skill Ban Pattern: it is activated based on skill behavior, so Dominator Install skills during his Master Skill are avoiding that.
However, due to the huge difference in damage it may cause between characters, we only implemented this fix in Pruinaum Challenge Mode.

Character Growth Improvements

  1. Third Prof. Pho's Guide will be added to help with further progression. Rewards include +9 Rigomor Gear Selection Cube (not usable in PvP).

  2. Improvements for Apocalypse Type-Void, Flames of Judgement and Vestige of Soul:

    • Type-Void pity bar fill rate increased, drop rate increased

    • Flames of Judgement pity bar fill rate increased, fills faster, weapon cube drop rate increased

    • Vestige of Soul pity bar fill rate increased, fills faster

  3. Type-Void, Flames of Judgement, Vestige of Soul and Submergence of Abyss come as +9 when opening the cube.

  4. Secret Dungeons are always open, but the number of Daily Special Rewards available remains the same.

  5. Transcendence quests made easier.

Dropping gear from Ruben to Elysion is kinda useful for magic crystals I don't get it

Flare Kyn
Flare Kyn07/11/2023 06:02

I think what happened was that people kept complaining that their inventories kept getting full and they couldn't sell/dismantle everything quickly. They probably wanted a quick sell/dismantle feature, but KoG chose this instead.

Damn I never completed my Jin and In card set.

Flare Kyn
Flare Kyn07/06/2023 01:04

I like most of the changes made here. Only real Issue I have with this patch is really a nitpick, but I actually liked having low grade gear dropping in Ruben~Elysion. Sometimes I get better gear than what I already had, and even if I don't, I could sell it for more ED.

alane
alane07/07/2023 02:04

rip big source of magic crystals

Flare Kyn
Flare Kyn07/07/2023 13:28

Eh, Varnymir and Rigomor give enough of those imo. I haven't really dismantled Ruben~Elysion gear in a long time because of that.
