New and Improvements
● Detonative Flow - Fixed the issue where you couldn't combo straight to Flow: Magical Evasion and Teleport after using the skill.
● Fixed the issue where playing an instrument while under the effects of a debuff would cancel the debuff.
● Added Skill Enhancement - Rabam's Enlightenment
- Sage can obtain his first Enhanced Skill at Lv. 56 or higher, and the second at Lv. 57 or higher.
- Sage must learn the preceding skills to learn the Enhanced Skills.
- Sage can only learn one of the two Enhanced Skills available per level.
The enhanced skills for level 56 and 57 were released. The concept behind these skills was for Adventurers to pick between PvE or PvP focused skills. First, the level 56 enhanced skills. The PvE skill is Reconstructed Fist. It has a slow casting time but hits a large area with big damage. Then we have the PvP skill Ator's Illusion, which can stun opponents instantly. Next, the level 57 enhanced skills. Energized Thorn is a ranged skill ideal for PvE that hits a large area and melts enemies. On the other hand, we have Piercing Thorn. Like its name, it pierces through the enemies in its path and knocks them down. As for making improvements for Sage, we have changed some of the commands so you will be able to use the skills you intended to use instead of the Flow skills. You will also be pleased to hear that we are currently working hard on Sage's Awakening and will be revealing more soon.● Rift Chain - Fixed the following phenomenon: Use a skill > Rift Chain during the skill > Hit by debuff during attack animation after Rift Chain > Use Rift Chain at the end of debuff > First skill activates
● Form Shift - Improved to activate first when pressing W + RMB while Sprinting.
● Ator's Energy - Improved to activate Realm of Anguish with S + RMB after using the skill.
● Flow: Finishing Touch, Flow: Illusion Detonation - Fixed the issue where hits would not apply when rapidly rotating the camera while using the skills.
● Ator's Thorn - Fixed the issue where using the skill while mounted would apply a Critical Hit Rate buff.
● Spatial Collapse - Improved to activate Ator's Energy and Spatial Fissure first when pressing S + LMB and Shift + LMB after using the skill, respectively.
● Illusion Expansion - Improved to activate Ator's Fist and Spatial Collapse first when pressing W + F and S + F through Rift Chain, respectively, after using the skill.
● Ator's Energy - Fixed the issue where Atomagia would intermittently not activate through Rift Chain after using the skill.
● Ator's Thorn - Fixed the issue where Ator's Thorn would disappear after attempting certain motions when using the skill while mounted.
● Realm of Anguish, Black Spirit: Ator's Mark - Using these skills during the Old Moon Grand Prix will no longer bring out damage-dealing summons.
● Realm of Anguish, Form Shift, Void Gateways - Changed the skills so that they would be activated faster after Ator's Energy
Item
● Added to the message that appears when you open a PRI (I) – TET (IV) Kzarka's Sealed Weapon Box, Dandelion Weapon Box, Nouver's Sealed Sub-weapon Box, and Kutum's Sealed Sub-weapon Box, to display the enhancement level (PRI (I) – TET (IV)) of the gear obtained.
● Added information regarding the success rates of learning individual skills to show when using Theiah's Orb to change your fairy's skills.
We added a feature that will allow you to view the probability of learning each skill when you use Theiah's Orb to change your fairy's skills. The probabilities shown were rounded up to the thousandths, and so may not add up to an even 100%. We are currently working to add the same feature to Mount Skill Change Coupons, Premium Horse Appearance Change Coupons, and Worker Promotion Completion as soon as possible. ● Added the following line to the item descriptions of [Mystic] Rakshande Armor and [Mystic] Rakshande Oufit Set:
- Equipping the cestus will make parts of the Rakshande Armor invisible.
Contents
● Islin Bartali, owner of the Lunar Halo Inn, seeks Adventurers who can help her cook huge portions to feed the diligent sailors of Velia.
- Added the quest '[Bonus] Cooking for Velian Sailors I.'
- This quest has 3 random variations, and you can complete it by talking to Islin Bartali. You can get either High-Quality Hot Pepper x500 or High-Quality Garlic x500 by completing it.
- You can get the quest by chance once you reach a certain cooking level for the dishes specified in the chart below. You can re-accept the quest immediately after completing it.
* [Bonus] Cooking for Heidelian Soldiers l (Reward: High-Quality Pepper x500 or High-Quality Onion x500)
* [Bonus] Cooking for the Calpheon Slums l (Reward: Milk x1000 or Egg x1000)
● Added bonus quests to appear when you cook the following O'dyllita dishes (listed in the table below) at a certain cooking level.
- The bonus quests that may be available to you are as follows:
- [Bonus] Cooking for Heidelian Soldiers l

We hope that these quests, along with the bonus quests that reward you with Milk, Eggs, High-Quality Onions, and High-Quality Garlic, may be of help to many of our cooks in obtaining the ingredients they need.● Some seasoned miners are talking about rumors of a special vein of ore you can discover while mining. You can get Rough Lustrous Gems by mining a special vein called 'Starlight Vein.' It was named as such for its beautiful sparkle.
