| Dynamic Flow of the Arena - [Ancient Transportation Device] Reduced the distance that can be traveled when flying but changed by increasing the movement speed when using the Jump Gate.
- [Ancient Transportation Device] Added the following special attack effects that are applied when using the Jump Gate.
Applied special effect when using the Jump Gate
Damage Buff Upon Landing: AP X 200%
Applied Effect Upon Landing: Blowback 0.9 sec, Ignore DP, DP –20% for 5 sec, creates Black Flames
What is “Black Flame”?
> Burn the area where the player lands to inflict fixed damage –300 for 4 sec and reduce DP –20% for 5 sec.
- [Ancient Transportation Device] Changed the buff effect to no longer appear when using the Jump Gate.
- [Ancient Transportation Device] Improved the location of the Jump Gates to be placed more naturally.
- [Ancient Transportation Device] Adjusted the spawn location of some Jump Gates and increased the probability of Jump Gates appearing.
> A total of 25 Jump Gates can appear.
- [Ancient Transportation Device] Decreased the time of Jump Gates to activate after it was used significantly.
[Dev Note]
We made additional improvements to the varying aspects of the Dynamic Flow of the Arena.
Among the flow of the arena content, the jump gates were placed only in fixed locations in Ancient Transportation Device mode. However, with this being the circumstance, it took a lot of time for players to access the jump gate itself, hence the gameplay did not show many variables among players.
For this update, the number of additional jump gates in the arena were increased as they will appear in more diverse locations and reduced time for the jump gate to reactive upon use. Besides the regular buff effect that is applied when boarding the jump gate, players will be in a powerful black spirit state where they can blowback the opponent upon landing and burn the area they land by unleashing a black flame. We expect that these changes will bring on different gameplay from players.
- [Forest Gatekeepers] Added a boss monster “Dim Tree Spirit”.
- Dim Tree Spirit will spawn 2 times and the location can be checked on the World Map (Tab).
> 1st Spawn Time: 4 min 30
> 2nd Spawn Time: 6 min 30 sec
- You can obtain one following items at a set probability upon defeating the boss monster “Dim Tree Spirit.”
>
500 Token Chest>
[Dim Tree Spirit Armor]
Movement Speed +4%
(Unique) DP +85
HP +2000
HP Auto Recovery +200
[Dev Notes]
The boss monster Dim Tree Spirit will appear in the Forest Gatekeepers flow. As for the loot, the Dim Tree Spirit will drop the Dim Tree Spirit’s Armor, which greatly increases a player’s survivability. However, the Dim Tree Spirit has high HP and defense and it applies powerful CC (crowd control) effects and debuffs with each attack. Therefore, it is best to approach this behemoth with caution.
- Added a notification message when obtaining rare level or higher items.

[Dev Note]
Effects for certain items that were used infrequently have been adjusted.
We felt that [Berserker/Wind/Healing/Harmony] orb items were underwhelming and decided to buff the effects of those items. In addition, we also made changes to the hunting bow and gauntlet items so that players can focus on their progression in the early phase of the game, as well as encourage players to diversify their item set up.
- Improved so the attack motion for Shadow Knight Captain, Shadow Shaman, Shadow Guard Captain is more natural.
- Added a monster that the Shadow Knight Captain, Shadow Shaman, and Shadow Guard Captain can summon.
- Left to right: Elite Shadow Warrior / Corrupted Centurion / Shadow Guard
- Reduced the below Shadow Knights’ AP to the following.

[Dev Note]
We have made some changes to the battle methods for the Knight Captain, Shaman, and the newly added Guard Captain.
We look forward this can make the battles more exciting when dealing with rare monsters as we will continue improving other monsters as well.

[Dev Note]
We’ve added Margord and shadow lord gear to provide an opportunity for players to overcome the progression gap while waiting for the Light of Ascension to appear after defeating Saigord.
However, the "Curse of the Shadow Lord" special shared effect will be applied upon obtaining all of the Shadow Lord’s gear to add some risk-reward element.
We hope that these new changes can bring on intense battles never seen before through the Shadow Lord.
