Shai and Hashashin will now be able to unlock and use their Rabam skills. The first of the Rabam skills can be learned at level 56, and the second skill can be learned at level 57, assuming the prerequisite skills have been learned. This update will also bring 10%, 25% and 50% Black Spirit rage skills to Hashashin.

The Start menu is getting an overhaul with this update, with items being categorized and a favorites section being added to the menu.

 

 

Favorites: You can customize the top row of the new Start menu by pressing LB/L1 and selecting which menus you want to easily access at the top of the start menu. Once you have finished editing the top row, press Y/△.

 

The L2/LT button will move the start menu from the left to the right. In order for this change to be activated, exit and re-enter the start menu.

 

When looking through the recents menu, you can press the RT/R2 buttons to pin the menus to your favorite list.

 

You can search the start menu by pressing X.

 

For the European servers, we will be adjusting the times of bosses to account for Daylight savings time which occurs on Sunday, October 25^th. This will cause all current time-based modes to be one hour earlier than advertised until your clocks jump back on October 25^th, after which they will be at their currently advertised times.

 

For website notices, Social Media posts and other things which contains time, we will be switching to UTC+0 instead of UTC+1.

 

As part of our continued refinement and quality of life updates, we have now isolated the PvP restrictions that occur when World bosses spawn. Previously the world bosses would cause PvP across the world to halt, however we have now changed it so that PvP will only be disabled inside the region of the World Boss.

 

Continuing on the World Boss changes, the area that Nouver spawns in has been thoroughly mapped out, and we have Manmehan Nesser to thank. He has identified several interesting landmarks around Nouver, meaning that adventurers will now be able to easily tell that they are in Nouver’s radius, and the new area has been called Tyrants Hill.

 

 

The Pit of Undying has received another quality of life addition in that you can now instantly transport yourself to the Pit of Undying from Calpheon, Heidel, Valencia, Altinova, Grana and Duvencrune. With this change, we have now disabled the use of maids/butlers (Storage/Marketplace) from the pit of undying. To help adventurers with their potions, the Night Crow Randy will now sell them inside the Pit of Undying.

 

There will now be a tax reduction based for selling horses based on your Training level. The higher your Training life skill, the more money you will receive for selling horses. This change will apply to all horses sold, and horses sold before the change will also be affected if the silver has not yet been collected. The tax reduction is as follows.

The Xian Merchant Guild of Calpheon and the Bartali Family of Velia have partnered up to allow adventurers the chance to own more residences. Complete a set of quests from the following NPCs to unlock the ability to own more residences.
- Islin Bartali of the Lunar Halo Inn in Velia: [Support] An Adventurer on an Endless Journey
- Constante of the Golden Toad Inn in Heidel: [Support] Home is where the passion be.

Each quest can only be completed once per Family, and you can extend your residences to a maximum of 7.

Guild skill cooldowns will now appear inside the Guild skill menu, and no longer appear on Guild members skill cooldown list.

 

 

The processing option, ‘Drying’, will now complete faster in the desert. 

We have repositioned the starting areas and entrances of Red Battlefield bases so that both sides will start with the same conditions.

 

 

 

 

A return function has been added that can be used after the end of a Node/Conquest War. If you participated in a Node/Conquest war, you can return to your original location before the ‘Assemble!’ function was used. This function can be found in your Start Menu.
