New and Improvements

Character

● Fixed the issue where the exclusive Special Actions of equipped Pearl outfits would not be displayed.

Regeneration	1437% x 7	1437% x 10 Critical Hit Rate +30% on hits (PvE Only)

Ranger's Awakening skills are—for the most part—powerful, but they were also designed with long cooldowns. As a result, many Adventurers would rely on main weapon skills instead of Awakening skills when fighting monsters that required continuous damage dealt over time. To improve on this, we adjusted the PvE damage of her Awakening skills so that Ranger could continuously deal damage in monster zones with her combos.

● Beast Roar - Improved the skill to activate its Skill Add-on effects even on the first hit.

● Removed the blurring effect when attacking with Heilang.

● Prime: Trample - Improved the skill to evenly deal damage within the adjusted area of effect.
● Prime: Jolt Wave - Improved the skill to evenly deal damage within the adjusted area of effect.

Many Adventurers who play Succession Tamers use Prime: Whiplash as their main skill, so we tried to improve Prime: Bolt Wave and Prime: Jolt Wave so the two skills can be used in addition to Prime: Whiplash, thereby creating a richer and more diverse PvE gameplay experience.

Succession

● Prime: Gale - Changed the skill's PvE damage and Critical Hit Rate as follows, and adjusted the area of effect to match the visual effect.

Most Adventurers playing Succession Musa tend to use Prime: Rising Storm repetitively in monster zones, which may feel a bit uninteresting to play.

Extra Hit Damage 969% x 8

Skill Name	Before	After
Chain Crash: Sah Chakram	1254% x 9	1312% x 9

● Chain Crash: Sah Chakram - Added Critical Hit Damage +5% for 10 sec to the skill.

Awakening Kunoichi often ends up behind a monster after using her Main Weapon skills, which makes it inconvenient to switch back to Awakening. To alleviate this, we added the 'no collision while moving' effect to Half Moon Slash so that Kunoichi could easily attack from behind while in Awakening stance. We also increased the PvE damage for her skills other than Lethal Spin Spree so that you could continuously deal damage even when Lethal Spin Spree wasn't available.

● Crouching Wolf - Fixed the issue where Striker would sporadically freeze when using the skill.

● Changed the PvE damage for the following skills.

- PvP damage remains the same.

● Prime: Rage Hammer - Added a Critical Hit Rate +50% effect for PvE only.
● Prime: Roaring Tiger - Added a Critical Hit Rate +25% effect for PvE only.

Succession Mystic is excellent at combo attacks, but her PvE damage for single skills were lacking in comparison to other classes. To compensate for this, we increased the PvE damage and Critical Hit Rate effects for some Succession skills including Prime: Thunder Pound, Prime: Tornado Kick, and Prime: Rage Hammer.

● Prime: Wheel of Fortune IV - Added a Critical Hit Rate +25% effect for PvE only.
● Prime: Kamasylvia Slash III - Added a Critical Hit Rate +25% effect for PvE only.

We increased the PvE damage of Prime: Spirit Legacy and increased the PvE damage, number of hits, and critical hit rate for her other key Succession skills to be similar to her Awakening. This will enable Succession Dark Knight to take full advantage of her slow but powerful skills.

Awakening

● Core: Spirit Hunt - Fixed the issue where the regular version of Spirit Hunt would activate when used in a combo after certain skills.
● Changed the PvE damage and number of hits for the following skills.
- However, their overall PvP damage remains the same.

Skill Name	Before	After
Unveiled Fate	405% x 8 (2 Hit Damage)	730% x 8 (2 Hit Damage)

We improved her PvE efficiency without largely altering her Awakening skill mechanics by increasing the PvE damage of Seed of Catastrophe, Shattering Darkness, and the skills that combo from them. We also increased the damage of Unveiled Fate to increase its usefulness in Rabam skills.

● Black Blood's Descent - Fixed the issue where main weapon skills would not activate when the skill is used via Quick Slot while in awakening stance.

● Quoratum's Protection - Fixed the issue where the Forward Guard effect would disappear when using Icy Fog after using certain skills while the skill is active.
● Fixed the issue where certain commands were displayed incorrectly in the skill combo guide.

● Kyve Mastery - Fixed the issue where he would recover MP even when the skill missed.
● Prime: Ator's Mark - Fixed the issue where the Overdrive buff would not apply when using this skill with another skill.

Item

● Revised the item descriptions of [Sage] Royal Enforcer Outfit Set B and [Sage] Royal Enforcer Helmet B.

● The extra Combat/Skill EXP and Contribution event applied to regular servers in celebration of the New Olvia server from Mar 24 –Apr 7 is now over.
* An Increased Life EXP +100% buff until you reach Artisan 1 will be active in the normal servers for two weeks between Apr. 7 (after maintenance) – Apr. 21 (before maintenance) in celebration of the New Olvia server.

Monster

● The Vessel of Inquisition, emanating the scent of death, has been discovered in a part of Star's End where adventurers rarely set foot. The rotting stench of Blackstar from the Vessel of Inquisition envelopes all of Star's End, making Kzarka's apostles willingly sacrifice themselves as offerings.
- Changed the locations of some Star's End monsters.
- Placed a total of three Vessels of Inquisition around the edges of Star's End.
- Strike the Vessel of Inquisition to call forth Kzarka's apostles, who covet the energy contained within it.
- The apostles will attack the Vessel of Inquisition to obtain the energy spilling out from the fragment of the Blackstar. They will disperse once the Vessel of Inquisition is destroyed.
- The apostles coveting the power within the Vessel of Inquisition are stronger than previous Star's End monsters.
- The Vessel of Inquisition will shatter if too many apostles coveting its power gather.

Star's End is the most popular monster zone for Adventurers. Therefore, we added a new mechanic so that Star's End could be enjoyed by even more Adventurers (those of you who have been to Traitor's Graveyard in Marie Cave may find this mechanic familiar). However, be warned, the apostles coveting the power within the Vessels of Inquisition are stronger than the regular monsters in Star's End.

After the Elvia update, we thought that the sudden change in weather that occurs when entering the Hadum-tainted Elvia Realm looked unnatural and strenuous on the eyes. As such, the weather transition was changed to be more natural in order to create a more immersive gameplay experience.
