With this patch, you’ll be able to loot new accessories such as masks, brooches, and belts again!
Existing accessories cannot be upgraded. Instead, the new items will be available to loot from the following instances:

Top of the Damned Citadel
Complete Akalath Quarantine
RK-9 Kennel (Hard)

Once again, enemies will be able to drop Fury and Wisdom versions of these items, equipped with 0 to 3 random options.

You will be able to randomly regenerate these options with the corresponding scrolls, using Golden Cryolites to lock any options you don’t want to change.

Golden Cryolites can be obtained by extracting masks, belts, and brooches you don’t need.
Tradeable Enchantment

The specialty merchant has four new chests on offer. They are empty to start with, and you have to fill them.

You can make your existing enchanting materials tradeable by transforming the non-tradeable material into a chest for a sum of Gold. This is possible for the following materials:

Lumikan’s Wing Fragment
Lumikan’s Horn Piece
Tyrant’s Belt
Tyrant’s Soul



As you’ll have already read above in the available instance rewards, you can receive a new chest in the dungeons.

You’ll instantly receive an item of Kaia’s Soul Gear for your class upon opening this rare chest. Whether it’s a weapon, armor, hand armor, or foot armor is decided at random (the weapon has the highest probability).



Please ensure you have the Microsoft .NET Framework 4.8 installed, or else the DPS meter won’t work.

It can be downloaded here: https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet-framework/thank-you/net48-web-installer

You should also run the game client in window mode and activate the DPS meter in the game options.

If you accidentally close the DPS meter, you can open it again in the main menu (under “My Character”). Otherwise, it should automatically appear at the start of each boss battle.

Please always use the information from the DPS meter treating your fellow players with respect.
