New Additions and Improvements

The Trial of Erethea is a faster variation of Erethea's Limbo which you can enjoy at your own pace.

 

The Forgotten Limbo Seal have been added to the loot tables of some of the more popular monster zones (310+ AP recommended), and these will be important to procure your own Deboreka Ring.

 

The drop rate of the seals are quite low, but once you obtain the Forgotten Limbo Seal, you are guaranteed to obtain 2 Deboreka Rings from the Trial of Erethea.

 

You can also get a chance to obtain additional rings from an extra chest that may spawn depending on which trials you complete.

The max enhancement level of the Deboreka Ring you can obtain from the Trial of Erethea is at DUO (II).

• Energies within Erethea's Limbo shift to reveal the Trial of Erethea, which awaits adventurers to prove their worth.
  • Added the Trial of Erethea.

  • You will be automatically removed from the Trial of Erethea after 20 minutes.

• Once the trial begins, adventurers will receive the Limbo's Blessing.
  • Each Limbo's Blessing grants powerful effects to the challenger of the trial.

Limbo's Blessing: The Frost	- A blessing of oblivion which erases the fear of the Frost. You inflict extra damage on monsters that appear from the trial of the frost.
Limbo's Blessing: The Rift	- A blessing of oblivion which erases the fear of the Rifts. You inflict extra damage on monsters that appear from the trial of the Rifts.

  • One out of many Witch's Lingering Presence will appear, and you will be able to receive Forgotten Trial's Legacy depending on the result.
  • You can obtain several loot, including the Deboreka Ring, all according to a set probability from within the Forgotten Trial's Legacy.

    • You can hold up to 5 Season Character Tickets at a time.
    • If you already have an active season character, the Season Character Ticket can be used after graduation.

In the Tungrad Ruins, you take down hordes of monsters using the Essence of Ulukita obtained from the Tungrad Visionary. However, some classes were able to attack monsters within a range where the Essence of Ulukita effect was maintained, which gave them an advantage compared to other classes. Now, the Tungrad Visionary is no longer affected by the Essence of Ulukita and won't remove it, narrowing the gap between classes. And by strengthening the Essence of Ulukita effect, albeit for a shorter duration, the speed of defeating monsters is preserved.

• Decreased the HP of Tungrad Visionaries by 50%.
• Changed Tungrad Visionaries to no longer be affected by the Essence of Ulukita effect.

• Changed the HP condition for when Tungrad Visionaries are defeated while being launched into the air due to Knockback or Knockdown.
  • Defeated when remaining HP is at 20% → 30%.
• Increased the effect of Essence of Ulukita by 1.4 times.
• Changed the duration of Essence of Ulukita from 30 sec to 6 sec.
• Decreased the HP of [Dread-stricken] Tungrad Visionaries and Tungrad Ascetics that appear with Putarek by 50%.

In the City of the Dead, you must first eliminate the Tehmelun Messengers who cast powerful spells and then take care of the rest of the monsters. To speed up this process, we've decreased the distance the Tehmelun Messengers move before casting and improved the monsters summoned by the Knight of Conviction to approach faster.

• Slightly decreased the distance the [Black Sand Visionary] Tehmelun Messengers move to cast spells.
• Changed the [Beckoned] Tehmelun Seekers and [Beckoned] Tehmelun Elite Soldiers called by the Knight of Conviction to be more aggressive.
  • Increased the speed at which the [Beckoned] Tehmelun Seekers and [Beckoned] Tehmelun Elite Soldiers attack the adventurer.
