The notice has been updated with missing content from the previous patch that was unintentionally omitted, such as UI Improvements and Winter Attendance Check event!

Oh, it looks like NA/Global do get the free Spirit Challenger after all.

Don’t forget to pre-register on the event page.

The NA login page isn’t working for me at all. I can’t even type anything in the fields, and the “sign in” or “login to another account elsword only” buttons do nothing. I tried it on both pc and android, same results on both. And clearing the cache/rebooting my PC didn’t fix it.

Can someone who can log into the site relay this to KoG please?

Eh, I wouldn’t worry about it. It’s the usual laziness of the NA side. It’s all delayed. Even their update news.

Besides, the event will run until the 12th. I suggest waiting until they put the damn event news on the main page.

But seriously, I bet NA server run on skeleton crew if they can’t even be punctual with stuff like this. What a shame.

ui cleanup

including reforge ui

oh i don’t want to rember how long reforge has been around.

meta railroading garbage

hard pass

do-you-actually-have-a-teaching-degree phoru

unless this has a +10 VoS ammulet somewhere in it or the weps come in at +10, then… i guess i’m still claiming what i can because i ain’t know what’s in it until it’s posted somewhere.

still-rng dye mechanic

now with … “pity” ?

the blacksmithing pity sets a bad precedent, but at leas the bare function of clothes coloring is in now.

raid solo stuff

alright, actually neat, but please give more room for reaction times in abyss onward to read that onscreen text stuff.

circuit fragments req for amp circuit craft increased

do that many drops for that thing happen? genuinely don’t know, ain’t a regular in snakeland rn. maybe condolensces anyways ig?

wep growth nerf

10x less for most of VoS. and severe raid run count nerf for SoA. well hot damn.
good.
still need to see +10s to side-eye these stat-sticks less tho.

grotto cooldown eyesores junked

genuinely, thank you. would have been okay with all of that being reduced to a 1 sec to max-5-sec-from-the-atacks cooldown increase, but total purge is fine too.

trash nest adjustments

making the spouts send us up faster while still being able to exit them would have been preferable to a total removal, but eh, that’s fine too.
now how ‘bout actually nerfing the pests’ heal and damage reflect gimmicks? the actual worst parts of that dungeon. the parts that, like the elixir effects in heroics, reveals how ass defense is handled overall in this game. at least to lessening the severity of the effects they have.

350 erp the new low bar

of course, but might as well not level cap the erp bonuses for events at this point.

still will need to see what new phoru’s like, but seems to be mostly good changes overall.

Thanks for the patch, but is there any info on how to get the challenge force yet?

Even after the first job advancement, if you obtain a new skill, it will be automatically equipped in your skill slots.

NO! Why the fuck did they do this?! If we want to try out a new skill, WE'LL EQUIP IT OURSELVES! I hope they at least make it so that this doesn’t happen if all skill slots are full!

Quick teleport added at the bottom of the Prof. Pho's Growth Guide UI.

Okay. But aside from the ERP thing, I'd probably only use this when I'm already in Magmelia, since I don't want to spend ED going between towns.

Avatar Dyeing is only possible for Noble Academy and sets released after 12/18.

Hope they add more older costumes over time. Though I’m still waiting for NA to add more older costumes to Magic Wardrobe.

Avatar Dyeing Pity System

Cool, but I'd still like them to add an item that lets you guarantee a color without having to pity.

Batch Dyeing System

Well that saves a bit of time, at least. Wonder how it interacts with the pity system, though.

Weapon Growth Adjustments

That's nice. Maybe now I can finally finish the VoS. SoA might still be impossible for me atm, though.

10m CP Growth Event rerun

Ohey, I can get 7 more alts (one per account) to Magmelia now. Just need to figure out which ones I want to do that for.

3 rounds of Master Class in 5 steps (Jump Event)

Getting Master Class is pretty easy now, but I'm not gonna turn this down. At least not on my accounts that are still behind.

the meta/progression railroading is getting a bit pushy. especially when most means of enhancing are still rando-stat gambles.

i’m actually a bit okay with at least the new skills only filling up the empty slots before we have 8 actual useable skills and not replacing any already there, but i’m also the person who organizes skills based on category/mp use, so this also bothers me to an extent.

How does that work with the Transcendence slots? 🤔

The Deviation I linked to has 9 different images that you can switch between using these thumbnails down here. The first 4 are pre-trans and the other 5 are post-Trans.
