Content Updates

[Content - Improvements]

Fixed the issue where NPCs would disappear when there were too many participants.

  • We have fixed the rendering issue where bosses and NPCs would disappear when there were too many participants in a certain region while playing one of the 4 main daily quest contents (Crimson Rift, Grimghast Rift, Shadowed Torch, or Weakened Tower). Affected contents are as below:
    • Crimson Rift: Hound of Kyrios
    • Grimghast Rift: Nightmare Bowstring, Nightmare Blade
    • Shadowed Torch: Ipnysh Guardian Spirit
    • We are also planning to make improvements on quest acceptance and completion NPCs where same issue is observed. However, immediately changing the relevant NPCs may result in a system overload since they have the appearance of different races, so we shall look at this issue and solve it in the near future.

Added another raid role option.

  • We have expanded the raid role options so that players can now choose a melee/ranged attacker.
    • Before: Attacker/Defender/Healer/Undecided
    • Now: Attacker (Melee)/Attacker (Ranged)/Defender/Healer/Undecided

Added a caution message regarding the cost for socketing Lunagems to the Lunagem item tooltips.

  • Based on the feedback that there have been inconveniences for players who fail to realize that the cost for socketing Lunagems increases depending on the equipment awakening rank, we have added the below caution to the Lunagem item tooltips.
  • Caution: Costs will increase depending on the equipment stage and number of Lunagems equipped.

Added a feature to activate multiple missions at once.

  • To improve upon the inconvenience of opening each mission every day, we have added the "Open All" feature to each Mission UI. Affected UIs are as below:
    • Daily Contracts/ArchePass/Family Quest/Individual Guild Mission/Hero Missions

Changed the victory condition for the Akasch Invasion.

  • Based on the feedback that the lack of participants in the Akasch Invasion made it difficult for the player's faction to attain victory, we have partially changed the victory condition for the relevant content:
    • Defeating monsters: +180 > +300 points
    • Completed the quest "Akasch Invasion": +3 > +15 points
    • Required amount of points for victory: 15,000 > 12,000 points
    • Conditions for accumulating Faction Score (Akasch) - Defeating players: +8 > +10 points
    • Please keep participating in the Akasch Invasion as we will continue managing and improving the content.

Added Product List refresh feature to Akasch Token Merchant's shop.

  • Based on the feedback that the Akasch Token Merchant's shop, which appears upon attaining victory in the Akasch Invasion, does not show the item you want, preventing you from using the shop, we have added a feature whereby you can spend "Ewan's Rune Rank 1" x1 to refresh the product list.
  • However, you can only refresh the list up to 50 times, and the refresh feature will be deactivated upon reaching the refresh count limit.

[Region/NPC]
