Patch Notes - March 2, 2023

Patch Notes

[h2]Content Updates[/h2]
  • Added a condition for using "Change to Siege Mode" for Wheeled Mortar/Fire Ironclad/Ironclad.  
    • The content is not as exciting due to the high reliance on steamtanks (especially the use of Siege Ammos), so a condition was added for using "Change to Siege Mode."
    • It can only be used while a Siege is in progress or at the "Mysthrane Gorge" region.
    •  We will continue to make improvements for content that utilizes steamtanks.
  • The Enchanting Tail and Tempting Tail were added to the boss monster Aria (Hard difficulty) NPC's loot at Mistsong Summit.
    • These items only dropped from the Easy and Normail difficulty Aria NPCs, but we realized the high demand for the item. Therefore the items will also drop from the Hard difficulty Aria.
    • Increased the Health of Jola the Cursed, Meina, and Glenn.
    • The below expired ArchePass will no longer be displayed.
    • December ArchePass II

    • After accepting the quest, make the "Candy Bundle" and deliver it to the "Rabbit-Disguised Firran."
    • Receive the "Candy Bundle With Letter" after completing the quest, and then give it to another player to get a special buff effect.
    • Please check out the event post for the details.

Patch Notes
[h2]Content Updates[/h2]
  • The conditions for accepting the Halting the Crimson Tide 3/Halting the Crimson Tide 4 during Grimghast Rift was changed.
    • Before the change, you had to move to the portal to accept the quests even when you knew there were enemy factions standing by. Therefore we implemented the quest condition changes below.
      • Before: After destroying the Nightmare Totem, you had to go through a portal that appeared and select either the Halting the Crimson Tide 3 or Halting the Crimson Tide 4 quest.
      • Now: The two quests were merged into the "Halting the Crimson Tide 3 & 4" quest, and when you attack the Nightmare Totem, you will now accept the quest (you can accept when the same raid or party member attacks it as well) -> and you only have to defeat either the Nightmare Incubus or Nightmare Pit Fiend to satisfy the quest conditions.
    • After you complete the quest, you will get the "Grimghast Rift Reward Crate." You can select between 10 Radiant Infusion Supply Kits or a Superior Lunarite Pouch.
  • The summon time and duration for using Condensed Archeum (Trade Pack) during Grimghast Rift was improved.
    • We received feedback that it was quite difficult to obtain the Condensed Archeum (Trade Pack) when it was crowded with others during Grimghast Rift.
    • Condensed Archeum (Trade Pack) reappearance time: 8 sec -> 0.5 sec; Time to obtain: 2 sec -> 1 sec
