[h3]Ongoing Events[/h3]

• Boost Boost Boost!: April 22–May 6 (23:59 UTC)
  

[h3]Ended Events[/h3]

• Mystical Ellie's Water Festival 2020
  
  
• Finto's Juice Challenge
  

[h3]Content[/h3]

• Major Update - Changes in Garmoth's Attack Pattern
  
  • Changed the World Boss Garmoth's attack pattern.
    

    Along with the release of Drieghan, Garmoth was introduced as a force to be reckoned with. However, as adventurers have become more powerful, Garmoth no longer seemed to pose a threat you would expect from a "Dragon". Attack patterns, such as when she is invincible while floating in the air, were merely an inconvenience to those fighting against Garmoth. Therefore we made some changes to her attack patterns.
    In addition, we are thinking of ways to attach a sense of "challenge" and "rewards" to the world boss monsters, including Garmoth. However, we are trying to avoid suddenly increasing the difficulty, which may ruin your existing "play patterns".

    • The pattern in which Garmoth interacts with sculptures when first appearing or when her HP was reduced to a certain level was removed.
      
    • When Garmoth flies up during battle and begins to charge up magic, you must now hit the magic a certain amount of times for it to be destroyed.
      
    • If you do not disrupt Garmoth from charging up magic, Garmoth will cast a powerful magic attack.
      
    • The Kagtums which appear when Garmoth cries out as she flies up into the air will now have increased HP, and more of them will now appear.
      
    • Fixed the issue where Garmoth would go back immediately into the air after landing on the ground during combat.
      
    • Reduced the amount of times Garmoth deals a jump attack while fighting on the ground.
      
    • Added a slight standby period after Garmoth deals a powerful attack.
      
  • Garmoth's HP was increased by around 10%.
    
  • Garmoth's DP was decreased.
    

[h2]Game World, NPC & Effects[/h2]

[h3]Game World[/h3]

• Fixed the visual issue where underwater effect appeared when moving the camera in a certain region of Cokro Chamber.
  

[h3]NPC[/h3]

• You can now obtain the knowledge of Bochlo by talking to the NPC when you don't have this knowledge.
  

[h2]Class Changes[/h2]

[h3]Sorceress[/h3]

• Removed the dispersed damage effect which would be applied on certain Main Weapon and Succession skills.
  
  • Sinister Energy
    
  • Absolute Darkness
    
  • Mark of the Shadow
    
  • Claws of Darkness
    
  • Signs of Agony
    

[h3]Valkyrie[/h3]

• Removed the dispersed damage effect which would be applied on certain Main Weapon and Succession skills.
  
  • Shield Strike
    
  • Shield Counter
    
  • Shield Push
    
  • Counter
    
  • Sharp Light
    
  • Punishment
    
  • Prime: Shining Dash 2nd Hit
    

• Removed the dispersed damage effect which would be applied on certain Awakening skills.
  
  • Glissade
    
  • Black Spirit: Radiant Explosion
    

The dispersed damage effect refers to the damage reduced or divided by the number of targets when attacking several enemies. Though it was our intention to add this effect to some specific skills only, we have identified cases in which the effect was unnecessarily applied on certain skills. Hence we have examined all skills and removed the dispersed damage effect which was unnecessarily applied on certain skills for all classes. You can check those skills on which the dispersed damage effect is applied in each skill description.

[h2]Item Changes[/h2]

• Changed the grade of the following 4 cooking items from green to blue and the ration provided when using these items for Emergency Ration Supply was increased from 100 to 240.
  
  • Lean Lizard Kebabs
    
  • Fragrant Borscht
    
  • Chewy Desert Dumpling
    
  • Sour Pickled Fish
    

• Improved the recipe for [Guild] Sea Monster's Neidan so that you could craft 10 of it at once.
  
  • Use Heating on Young Sea Monster's Neidan x100 and Black Stone Powder x10
    
  • Use Heating on Sea Monster's Neidan x100 and Black Stone Powder x10
    

• For details on newly added Pearl Shop Update, please click < Here >!
  

[h2]Monster Changes[/h2]

• CC status effect will now be applied normally when using attacks with this effect to any monsters from Drieghan's Blood Wolf Settlement.

• Fixed the issue where the Inventory and Storage balance from NPC Repair menu > Equipment window overlapped with the relevant category's description text.
  
  
• Fixed the issue where the Navigate button of some unaccepted quests did not appear in the Quest Summary window.
  
  
• The alert that appears together with the alert on low durability on the bottom right corner of the screen will now be displayed for 6 seconds instead of 60 seconds.

[h3]Content[/h3]

• Major Update - Ornette's Spirit Essence & Odore's Spirit Essence.
  
  • The relics of Spirits and dragons have been found in Kamasylvia and Drieghan.
    
  • Collect all of the following relics to receive the blessing of Merindora, the eldest Spirit of Kamasylvia. Then collect more hidden relics to make the never-ending Ornette's Spirit Essence and Odore's Spirit Essence.
    

[h3]How to obtain[/h3]

• First, collect relics that can be looted from defeating monsters in certain regions:
  
• 
• 
• You can obtain Valtarra's Clairvoyance by defeating and tanning Ferrica, Ferrina, Belladonna Elephant, or Baby Belladonna Elephant of Navarn Steppe. Other relics can be obtained by defeating monsters.
  
• The listed items will not disappear even after being used.
  

• Second, visit NPC Merindora, the eldest Spirit of Kamasylvia, to gain knowledge on the spirit essences that will lead you to obtain the following relics that need to be prepared additionally:
  
  • Musical Spirit's Sound Stone
    
  • Gayak's Courage Stone
    
  • Night Crow's Dawn Stone
    
  • Krogdalo's Protection Stone
    

• Third, once you have all necessary relics in place, arrange-and-combine them in certain order in your Inventory (I) to get your exclusive spirit essences.
  

Obtaining a rare item such as Lafi Bedmountain's Upgraded Compass or Archaeologist's Map that anyone would envy you for must be one of the greatest wishes a world of fantasy genres offers to its characters.
We wanted to provide such a challenging process as a big goal for players to enjoy, but we were very cautious in making these additions, since a rare item is indeed rare and therefore highly valuable.
We wanted to provide a new rare item that all of our players would love and chase after, and it is known as a "treasure" among the developers and the concept of this new treasure is "a never-ending potion."
We will keep adding items that could become a big goal for our players, an item that is symbolically meaningful and enjoyable. Of course, you will have to seek your way through the challenging process to collect and create these never-ending potions long sought-after.

• Materials for Ornette's Spirit Essence and Odore's Spirit Essence were added to the Item Drop window in the ESC menu.
  
  
• Added a message which will be displayed when obtaining a material for Ornette's Spirit Essence or for Odore's Spirit Essence after defeating monsters.
  
  • Equally, a message will appear when combining Ornette's Spirit Essence or Odore's Spirit Essence.
    

• Major Update - Ebenruth's Nol
  
  • Added Ebenruth's Nol, a treasure item that can be equipped to an Epheria Carrack.
    
    • An Epheria Carrack equipped with Ebenruth's Nol can use BreezySail twice consecutively.
      
    • Note the installed ship needs Acceleration 135% or higher, Brake 160% or higher in order to equip an Ebenruth's Nol.
      
    • 
  • You can obtain "Ebenruth's Nol" from your Inventory by combining "Ebenruth" with "Symbol-Engraved Nol."
    
    • You can obtain "Symbol-Engraved Nol" and other valuable items from a "Treasure Chest of a Sailor" at a low chance.
      
    • You can obtain Ebenruth by processing 1,000 "Oquilla's Flowers" and 1 "Oquilla's Tear."
      
    • You can purchase "Oquilla's Tear" and "Oquilla's Flower" at the Crow Coin Shop, but Oquilla's Flower can also be obtained in different ways. Try to search your way to obtain the desired treasure highly-sought after.
      
  • You can now obtain a "Moss-Covered Map" at a low chance when defeating Saltwater Crocodiles.
    
    • You can perform Simple Alchemy with "Moss-Covered Map" and "Ravinia's Moss Remover" to remove the moss from the map. "Ravinia's Moss Remover" can be purchased at the Crow Coin Shop.
      
  • 4 items were newly-added to the Crow Coin Exchange shop.
    
    • Ravinia's Moss Remover
      
    • Oquilla's Flower
      
    • Oquilla's Tear
      
    • Ebenruth's Nol
      

[h3]Updated April 28[/h3]

• You can now exchange Bave Ricksa's Quest Voucher during Special Barter.
  

When "Symbol-Engraved Nol" was discovered for the first time, the sailors considered it to be a sort of stone that had come off the ruins.
However, an adventurer who was sailing the sea following the map he had found from a saltwater crocodile's insides succeeded in discovering the identity of this strange fragment.
Rumors say that the adventurer's ship rode on the wind and disappeared beyond the horizon.

• Major Update - FocusFire Skill
  
  • The "FocusFire" skill was added to ships.
    

  • Firing cannons is currently intuitive to use, yet it's difficult to precisely hit targets that are far away. The FocusFire system was introduced to make it easier and more precise when aiming at targets.
    Witness the precision of the new system, even as you cut through the rough waves.

  • Your view will completely change once you switch to FocusFire mode, and this will allow you to be more precise.
    
  • In FocusFire mode, you can quickly shoot cannons to targets far away since you do not have to hold in the mouse buttons.
    
  • You can use the FocusFire mode while using other sailing skills, except the Ram skill.
    
  • You can press Q or E to switch between aiming left and right for the FocusFire mode.
    
  • Due to this, the Ram skill's hotkey was changed from the Q key to the F key.
    
  • 
  • FocusFire skill can be used by the following ships.
    
    • Epheria Carrack
      
    • Epheria Caravel
      
    • Epheria Galleass
      
    • Improved Epheria Sailboat
      
    • Improved Epheria Frigate
      
  • The portside and starboard cannons will now have separate cooldown times for reloading cannons on a ship.
    
    • This means that you can now fire cannons from the other side, if either the portside or starboard is on a cooldown.
      
  • You can now fire simultaneously from the portside and starboard by clicking on the LMB and RMB at the same time while on default firing mode.
    
    • However, you can only fire from one side at a time while in FocusFire mode.
      
  • You can now get off the ship during the cooldown for reloading cannons.
    

• Added four new types of sailors.
  
  • These new sailors also hold new stats in Force, Vision, and Focus that will affect your sailing.
    
  • The new sailors are waiting for their captain at Velia's Lunar Halo Inn and on Iliya Island.
    

• The number of Total Likes for all Chat Groups will be reset with today's maintenance and those adventurers who own either gold, silver, or bronze Black Spirit icon will receive a temporary Title of 90 days for their diligent participation.
  
  • These temporary titles do have special colors to them.
    
  • 
  • The next number of Total Likes for Chat Groups will be reset approximately three months later, with the July 22nd (Wednesday) maintenance.
    
  • Garnier Troupe Chat Group title will become available after the relevant update in the future.
    

[h3]System[/h3]

• Fixed the noise and echoing issues during a voice chat.
  
  
• You can now see the status of the character who's speaking in the guild window better.
  

[h2]Class Changes[/h2]

[h3]All Classes[/h3]

• A strong burst of energy will hit monsters when your character levels up now.
  
  
• Fixed the issue where your game journal recorded instances when your ship was wrecked by a character who was fighting in a Node War.
