[h3]Content[/h3]
  • O'dyllita Main Quests Part II
  • Added the main quest in Pt.2 "[Lv.60 O'dyllita II] Gem of Imbalance" where the Flower of the Burning Moon and shadows with the blessings of Queen Viorencia Odore are preparing for the encroaching Hadum's Realm.
    • Must have completed the quest "[Lv. 60 O'dyllita I] Flower of the Burning Moon" to get this new quest.
  • Added the story about the Fallen Ahib in Thornwood Forest.
    • The quest "Ones Seized in Evil Aura" can be accepted from Black Spirit in Thornwood Forest after completing the quest "[O'dyllita] Song of Phantoms."
  • Discovered Vol. 1 and 4 of the Caphras' Adventure Logs that contains Caphras' Biography. Adventurers that have already completed all of Caphras' Adventure Log Vol. 2 and 3 will get Vol. 1 and 4 without doing any other quests.



Here is the long awaited update! The main quests in O'dylitta Part 2 takes our Adventurers through the story about the daughters of Sylvia. An exciting story will unfold about the events that happened in this peaceful and beautiful looking forest.


  • Bloodstorm Nouver
    • Nouver the Sand Tyrant will occasionally be stained by the blood of victims that died in the desert sandstorms. The tyrant is rumored to appear even more vicious than before. It is called "Bloodstorm Nouver" and is greatly feared by desert travellers, merchants, and even the military.
      • Bloodstorm Nouver is even more powerful than the pre-existing Nouver. It blows whirlwinds at distant Adventurers and attacks from beneath the desert sands.
      • Bloodstorm Nouver drops much better loot. Adventurers will be able to get up to IV Nouver Sub-weapons (possible enhancements: +0, I, II, III, IV). It also has increased drop rates for Belongings of an Adventurer, Gold Bars (up to 1,000G), and each type of Magical Black Stones.
      • Bloodstorm Nouver will have new attack patterns.

▲ Appears with a powerful storm (Left) / Fires two fire breathes right after each other (Right)


▲ Creates a phantom using the sandstorm (Left) / Cries out and summons a huge whirlwind (Right)


▲ 3 stage attack from the air (Left) / Slams down on the ground to bring utter destruction in the area (Right)
※ These images were taken using a GM character that does not receive damage to take better pictures.

Last time when we released Nightmarish Kzarka, we were worried about our adventurers' response as it was significantly harder. To our surprise, it received a lot of positive feedback from the community. Adventurers were pleased to see that we finally have a great world boss. Of course, the loots that dropped also helped in this.
We are now glad to announce to you the release of an even more powerful Nouver: the "Bloodstorm Nouver." This world boss demands quick decisions to be made with a variety of attack patterns and attacks with sharper claws and teeth. We hope it will be an exciting experience for our adventurers. We are currently working on Karanda and Kutum as well. We hope to hear a lot of suggestions and feedback for our world bosses.

[h3]Content[/h3]
  • Mythical Arduanatt
    • Added a new dream horse available through Mythical Awakening, the Mythical Arduanatt.
      • Stable your Arduanatt with Gula, stable keeper of Stonetail Horse Ranch, to attempt Mythical Awakening.
      • You will need 1 male and 1 female Lv. 30 Arduanatts.
      • Use the Mythical Censer to attempt Mythical Awakening, which has a fixed success rate of 3%.
      • Successfully breeding the 2 Arduanatts will lead to 1 awakened Mythical Arduanatt.
      • If failed, the 2 Arduanatts can be recovered at any time, and use the Mythical Censer to try again.
      • Newly born Mythical Arduanatts have all the skills the Arduanatts were born with along with Mythical Arduanatt skills they've known from birth.
      • Arduanatt's skill from birth will be at 100% mastery, and will not disappear even if you reset their growth.
      • The base price of the Mythical Arduanatt will be higher than the combined prices of the male and female Lv. 30 Arduanatts. However, due to its unique nature, it cannot be registered in the horse market.
      • Mythical Arduanatt is a legendary dream horse born from Mythical Awakening and does not specify a gender.
    • Details on Mythical Arduanatt skills are as follows.


  • To craft the "'Mythical Censer," you will need the following materials.


  • The higher the tier of the horse supplied to the imperial house, the greater amount of "Flower of Oblivion" you will obtain.








Arduanatt reigns over the skies, Diné rides the desert dunes, and Doom conquers on land. The beauty and power of these dream horses, especially their unique skills, have been longed by many adventurers over the years. However, over the years, many adventurers have been able to tame them and a greater number of adventurers have sought for a new type of dream horse. Thus, we present before you a dream horse of even greater magnitude in both power and beauty. We hope this provides a new goal for adventurers who enjoy horse training and dream horse content. We particularly hope this is also a more meaningful endeavor for those high-leveled trainers as well. While we only have the Mythical Arduanatt to show for today, we are currently preparing to release an upgraded Diné and Doom as well.
  • Revamped Black Spirit's Adventure
    • Now you will roll not 1 but 2 dice, and their sum will determine how many spaces the Black Spirit moves forward.
    • Use the "Acquire" button on the lower portion of Black Spirit's Adventure to obtain Black Spirit's Dice.
    • You will gain an extra pair of dice every 30 minutes, up to 3 times a day.
    • Getting the same number on the dice will automatically grant you another roll.
    • However, an extra roll will not be granted if you land on a bonus square or the finish line, or if you roll the same number on both dice for the second time.
    • Your Black Spirit piece will change appearance every 10th round completed.
    • Click < Here > to see what has changed for the Black Spirit's Adventure fully.
Black Spirit's Adventure is one of our most beloved contents. We chose to revamp it by retaining much of the accessibility in its original variation, while adding some strategic elements to spice up the fun.
  • Added the Naval Fame system.
    • Naval Fame is shared by family, and measures the adventurer's Karma at sea.
    • Naval Fame begins at 0, can be restored up to 300,000, or fall to -1,000,000.
    • If your Naval Fame is greater than 0, you'll become a "Navy", and if lower than 0, a "Pirate."
    • While in pirate status, your ship will be marked in red, allowing you to be attacked by the ships of adventurers without activating PvP mode.
    • Each time you force PvP by attacking an adventurer, your first attack will reduce your Naval Fame by -50,000.
    • You can no longer ride the Guild Galley if your Naval Fame is in pirate mode.
    • Destroying a ship reduces your Naval Fame by -200,000.
    • The act of defeating an adventurer, after destroying a ship, will reduce your Karma not Naval Fame.
    • While in pirate status, you won't be able to interact with, repair or supply your ship through normal wharf managers. You will only be able to repair and resupply your ship through Gafur, the wharf manager of the pirate-ridden Kuit Islands.
    • You can restore your Naval Fame by defeating Sea Creatures.
    • Your Naval Fame is affected by Guild Skills, Pet Skills, Tear of Repentance, and other Karma Recovery effects. However, your Naval Fame is not affected by the Book of Repentance.


The Naval Fame system has been added as a new content. This will serve as the foundation for our pirates and bounty hunting system. Defeating sea creatures will increase your Naval Fame, while attacking other adventurers and their ships as a pirate will reduce your Naval Fame. If your Naval Fame is below 0, you will be severely limited in your access to sea-related content. Also, please note that Naval Fame is applied to your entire family. We are currently preparing future contents so that different roles can be played by adventurers in Naval Fame without being unfair to one particular side over the other.
  • Added Ancient Spirit Dust x50 to the "Victory at Red Battlefield!" quest rewards.
  • Increased the number of Red Seals obtainable from losing in the Red Battlefield to 2 seals.
  • Changes to Node/Conquest Wars, boss spawns, and Tribute Wagon departure time have been reflected so please follow the start and closing times of the local time for the EU servers accordingly.
    • Node War: 20:00 CET–22:00 CET
    • Conquest War: 20:00 CET–24:00 CET
    • Tribute Wagon Departure 18:00 CET
    • See the link for the changed World Boss spawn schedule < Here >.
    • Please note Daylight saving time 2020 for North America will end at 02:00 local standard time on Sunday, 1st of November. However the necessary changes to Node/Conquest Wars, world boss spawns, and Tribute Wagon departure times for NA servers will take into effect starting with November 4th regular maintenance. (Please mind that Node Wars and boss spawns will appear to occur 1 hours early during Nov. 1 to Nov. 4 maintenance).

  • Moved the sailors waiting for their captains at the tavern in Velia so that they wouldn't interfere with the tavern business.


[h3]All Classes[/h3]
  • Re-adjusted skill add-ons for all classes.




We've improved the skill add-ons for each class. Previously, you chose 2 out of 6 given add-ons and added them to your character's skills, but now you can choose the add-ons you want from 24 add-ons (shared across all classes). The limitations of the previous system led adventurers to approach the add-ons as if there was a correct formula to use them, but with this renewal, we hope that adventurers will be more experimental in their customizations of their skill add-ons according to their play style. Also, before we had grouped our skill add-on effects into 5 levels (for example, the amount of Monster AP increased differed depending on the skill) based on the skill's cooldown time and utility, but now we've reduced it to 3 levels in order to increase their utility. Additionally, we've made adjustments based on adventurer opinions on how the skill add-on effects were being applied to all hits for certain skills.
  • Fixed the issue where the target of a successful grab skill would sometimes display irregular movements.
