● Added the Darkened Parchment I & II, which can turn a bunch of awakened boss summon scrolls into ones that can summon even more powerful foes.

Completing the quest '[Co-op] Defeat Darkened Boss' will award you with a Darkened Boss Bundle, which can be used to obtain loot equivalent to 9 awakened boss summon scroll bundles. However, Remnants of the Rift will drop approx. 40% less compared to using a normal awakened boss summon scroll.

Contents

● According to the tales of farmers, there are rumors abound of some mole with a rather peculiar appearance. Farmers have named this mole the 'Pit-A-Pat Mole.'
- When the Giant Mole appears while farming, there will be a very low chance for several holes in the dirt to appear.
- The rather peculiar-looking mole will create a bunch of holes, and will only appear from one of these holes.
- This special mole will drop a 'Pit-A-Pat Petal' when you chase it away, and you will need to bring 10 petals to Jemkas Wyrmsbane at Northern Guard Camp to accept the quest 'Trace of Pit-A-Pat Mole.' Upon completion, you will be awarded the 'Pit-A-Pat Mole' pet.
- Also, this special mole is even greedier than the Giant Mole, as it will drop many more farming materials when you chase it away.
- The Pit-A-Pat Mole pet has the appearance of a mole, and can only be exchanged with another Pit-A-Pat Mole (excluding Gosphys as well).
- The Pit-A-Pat Mole pet's special skill is finding resources, and its talent is increased Life EXP.

▲ Pit-A-Pat Mole appears! ▲ Pit-A-Pat Mole flees

 

● Near Keplan lies the North Abandoned Quarry, where reports of attacks by an unknown 'Black Shadow' have led to Calpheon calling for brave Adventurers. According to the accounts of survivors, the Black Shadow is believed to belong to the young dragon of Belmorn who had once possessed Jordine when he wandered about the Saunil Battlefield. Since Belmorn's disappearance, the dragon had never attacked those passing by, and many claim that the dragon is being controlled by some hidden fiend.

- The Black Shadow is a Field Boss, yet appears differently compared to other Field Bosses. Its initial spawn location is fixed, and it will appear once a week at the following times.

NA EU

Saturday 22:00 (UTC)

Saturday 15:00 (PDT)

Saturday 18:00 (EDT)

Saturday 15:00 (UTC)
Saturday 17:00 (CEST)

- Once the Black Shadow has taken critical damage, it will flee from the battle, leaving behind some loot.
- After taken critical damage, the Black Shadow will reappear at a random location in the Balenos, Serendia, or Calpheon Territories.
- Defeating the Black Shadow will drop Blackstar Armor (up to +10), Mass of Pure Magic, Specter's Energy, or Enchanted Scroll (+20, 30, 40) according to a set probability.
- Defeating the Black Shadow will drop a certain amount of Ancient Spirit Dust, guaranteed.

The new Field Boss, the 'Black Shadow,' was developed after many Adventurers requested further 'reworked' bosses akin to the Giant Mudster update. Similar to the Giant Mudster, this boss is designed to flee and reappear at a different location upon taking critical damage. It's different in that its spawn location is fixed and appears at a designated time once per week. We hope Adventurers, especially those with 2-seater horses, would enjoy the potentially long chase to defeat this boss.


● The Field Boss 'Dastard Bheg' event has ended.


● The number of Total Likes for all Chat Groups will be reset with the July 21 (Wed) maintenance.
- Temporary titles (90 Days) will be awarded to Adventurers who own either gold, silver, or bronze Black Spirit icons.
- Temporary titles (90 Days) will also be awarded to Adventurers who own either gold, silver, or bronze Black Spirit icons in any of the 23 Hall of Adventurers Chat Groups.
- All titles awarded for chat group rankings on April 21 (Wed) are scheduled for deletion during July 21 (Wed) maintenance.

● Changed the Skill Instructor authority of the Adventurers using the title 'Godlike' and 'Gosu' to be able to use the Skill Instructor function themselves. (Added)

 


Monster

● Defeating monsters on the Season Server in regions recommended for parties of 3, such as Waragon's Nest, Basilisk Den, and Shultz Guard, now have a low chance to cause Afuaru to appear.
- The aforementioned 3 regions are monster zones recommended for parties of 3 and thus will award up to 3 Adventurers with loot for defeating Afuaru.
- Defeating Afuaru will drop Tuvala Ores and Refined Magical Black Stones, along with a chance to drop the 'Frozen Tides Black Stone,' which grants guaranteed TET (IV) to PEN (V) enhancement of Tuvala gear excluding accessories.
● Applied a minimum damage requirement to obtain loot from raiding certain World Bosses.
- You will now only receive loot if you deal more than the minimum amount of required damage on the boss.
- The minimum damage requirement is set to 0.01% of each World Boss's HP shared across the servers.
- The minimum damage requirement applies to the following bosses:

World Boss
Nightmarish Kzarka
Bloodstorm Nouver
Stormbringer Karanda
Thundercloud Kutum
We sought to rework how the 'same loot' was being awarded to Adventurers regardless of their contributions when fighting against 'Absolute World Bosses' such as Bloodstorm Nouver. Now, a minimum damage requirement will be applied, requiring Adventurers to make the bare minimum of effort when fighting against these World Bosses. However, in consideration of those with lower stats or in cases when attacking a second World Boss (when two World Bosses appear, and you've defeated one and during the time when you're moving to attack the other), we made sure to keep the required damage at a not-too-high level.
Also, as the current resurrection points for Nouver and Bloodstorm Nouver are quite distant from the bosses, please note that we are planning to make some improvements.
● Defeating monsters in the following regions will now drop Caphras Stones, and the drop rate of Caphras Stones has been increased.
Region
Desert Naga Temple
Bashim Base
Titium Valley
Fadus Habitat
Crescent Shrine
Tshira Ruins
Cadry Ruins
Gahaz Bandit's Lair
Polly's Forest
Waragon Nest
Protty Cave
Blood Wolf Settlement
Centaurus Herds
Basilisk Den
Roud Sulfur Mine
Pila Ku Jail
Sherekhan Necropolis (Day), (Night)
Navarn Steppe
Shultz Guard
Sycraia Underwater Ruins (Upper), (Abyssal)
Manshaum Forest
Forest Ronaros
Mirumok Ruins
Aakman Temple
Thornwood Forest
Marie Cave (Traitor's Graveyard)
Hystria Ruins
Kratuga Ancient Ruins
Star's End
Tunkuta
Padix Island
Gyfin Rhasia Temple
Ash Forest
Crypt of Resting Thoughts
To allow for better supply of Caphras Stones, we've increased their drop rate from each monster zone. Monster zones that already dropped Caphras Stones and Ancient Spirit Dust saw the amount of drops increased, while regions that never saw these stones drop, such as Kratuga, Aakman Temple, Hystria Ruins, will now see them drop. However, the item drop amounts in these these newly added regions will be adjusted to maintain Olun's Valley as the current monster zone (excluding Crypt of Resting Thoughts) with the highest drop rate. We've also improved the amount awarded from daily quests available in all monster zones. Even defeating monsters diligently in early Valencia content will grant 5-10 Caphras Stones (per hour).
Do note that these adjustments won't affect the monster zones of the Elvia Realm, as we are seeking to implement new ways to use the ancient spirit weapons obtainable only in these zones. Once this ancient spirit weapon update is implemented, if we deem it still lacking, we have plans to proceed with several updates as well.
Also, we will continue to keep an eye on the supply of Caphras Stones even after this update, especially those areas that will be impacted by this increase in supply (such as Gathering, Exchanges, Node rewards, Blackstar gear, etc.) and will balance them out accordingly.

Henceforth, we will do our best to fix problems that make our Adventurers suffer both on land and sea by implementing policies that punish the people responsible.
