Minor Update

Part 1 – Enchant system

Our enchant system has been remodelled. It is based on the principle of “the safer the scroll, the lower its chance”. By safe I mean that there are scrolls with higher chances than others. But why the changes? To make it more challenging and interesting for players.

A) Safe enchant
The safe enchant was reduced from 7 to 3. Maximum enchant level remains at 30.

B) Available scrolls

Normal weapon & armor enchant scrolls

• Chances: See chart below
• Grades: D, C, B, A, S and R grade
• Enchant levels: From 1 to 30
• Fail enchant: Weapon gets crystallized

Blessed weapon & armor enchant scrolls

• Chances: Same as normal scrolls
• Grades: D, C, B, A, S and R grade
• Enchant levels: From 1 to 30
• Fail enchant: The enchant level gets reset to 0

Ancient weapon & armor enchant scrolls

• Chances: 20% lower chance compared to the normal scrolls
• Grades: B, A, S and R grade
• Enchant levels: From 1 to 16
• Fail enchant: The enchant level remains the same

Divine weapon & armor enchant scrolls

• Chances: 100% success rate
• Grades: B, A, S and R grade
• Enchant levels: From 1 to 30

C) Chances in general
The chances were changed for weapons & armors/jewelleries. The higher the enchant level, the lower the chance of success. The enchant chances for armor/jewellery is higher than for a weapon.





D) Others

• The item “Enchant Scroll Box 1 & 2” no longer contain normal weapon enchant scrolls
• The chances to get an ancient or divine enchant scroll out of the “Enchant Scroll Box 1 & 2” has been slightly reduced
• Enchant Armor & Weapon R-grade scrolls can now be spoiled in the following areas: Dragon Valley, Antharas’ Lair, Seed of Annihilation. This measure should give more weight to spoiler classes

Part 2 – Master of Enchants Yogi

Because of the changes in the current enchant system it was only logical to adapt changes to Yogi as well.

• The safe enchant was reduced from 7 to 3
• The price for 1 Staff of Yogi was increased by 2'000'000 Adena
• The preenchanted Yogi Staff (+7) was removed from the game
• New maximum enchant level is 16
• The chances are similar to normal weapon enchant scrolls

• Yogi has new rewards. On one side high end items should not be accessible in a simple enchant event. On the other side new players now have a way easier way to access S/S80/S84 grade armor and weapons.

Part 3 – Grandboss strengthening

The stats of the grandbosses have been reworked. With the introduction of higher level / stronger weapons than ordinary S84 weapons, it has become (way) too easy to fight and kill grandbosses. Therefore I decided to strengthen them. It simply gives you more challenge and fun on one hand and tanks and healers become more important as well on the other hand.



A) Which grandbosses have been reworked?

• Queen Ant
• Core
• Orfen
• Baium
• Valakas
• Scarlet van Halisha
• Antharas
• Baylor
• Tiat
• Freya (incl. Glakias)

B) How are they strenghtened?

I won't tell you the details However, I can say that I did not just simply increase all stats at the same level. I went through all the grandbosses stats individually and made some tests to see how much improvement they need. Some have simply more HP or more Defense. Other have all stats increased etc.

Ps Little adjustement later are still possible if I get more feedback.



Part 4 – Grandboss status

We added a new feature for you to see if a grandboss is alive or not. If a grandboss is dead, it will also show you the date and time of its respawn. There are two ways to use it:

• By typing in new custom command ".grandboss"
• By talking to the Ancient statue NPC --> information.
