New Additions and Improvements

Arena of Solare

The Arena of Solare Replay feature has been added, allowing you to replay the Arena of Solare matches of adventurers ranked in the top 10 by class in each region. This feature is especially noteworthy as it lets you directly observe gameplay from adventurers in other regions.

You can use this feature to learn from the strategies of top-tier adventurers with outstanding skills, while also exploring different playstyles and combos across regions—even within the same class.

Please note that this feature was introduced slightly later than the start of the Arena of Solare season to ensure stable implementation.

As it is a feature that allows adventurers worldwide to share information about class PvP, we will continue to strive for its better utilization.

Arena of Solare Replay

Added the "Arena of Solare Replay" function to watch matches of ranked Arena of Solare Adventurers.
- Use the "Replay" button in the Arena of Solare window to use this function.

* Ranked matches starting from 17:00 (UTC) on Feb 27, 2025 (Thu) will be recorded and the replay function will be available approximately 30 min afterwards.

TOP 10 Adventurers by Region Replay Saves

Now the TOP 10 Adventurers per region will see their match replays saved.
- For example, the match replays of the 10th ranked Archer in South America's Arena of Solare will be saved.

* The TOP 10 rankings are not based on real-time data. Instead, they are determined by the rankings at the time of calculation.

Web Downloads

Pressing the "Download" button in the Arena of Solare UI's "Replay" window will let you see the list of replays recorded on the web.

In this window, you can view a list of Family names categorized by region and class.
- Select the Family Name of the Adventurer you wish to watch to see a list of their match replays. Confirm the details, then download the replay.
- You can also enter a title when downloading said replay.

* Downloaded replays are listed based on the title you provided.

* Replays can only be downloaded while out of combat.

Playing Replays

Downloaded replays can be played through the Arena of Solare's Replay window.
- When viewing replays from different regions, the Family and Guild names will not be displayed on the replay screen.
- Replays can only be played in safe zones.

Item

Blackstar Gear & Godr-Ayed Weapons - Agris Essence (Ancient Anvil)

Since the release of Sovereign weapons with the Land of the Morning Light - Seoul update, many adventurers have already crafted and are using these weapons.

This includes methods like using the Essence of Ascent obtained through the Season server, following the Blackstar weapons you acquired through past challenges. However, some adventurers are still stuck at the growth stage of the Blackstar weapons.

Because Blackstar weapons were released earlier, their enhancement cost per attempt is relatively high compared to the recently introduced Sovereign weapons. Considering monster zones and various situations, we believe that growing with Sovereign weapons can provide a more positive experience.

Therefore, with today's update, we aim to lower the max Agris Essence stack for adventurers enhancing Blackstar weapons in regions where Sovereign weapons are live, allowing for a quicker transition to Sovereign weapons.

Recently, there has been an increase in adventurers enjoying content in parties or guilds. With these changes, we hope more adventurers can progress step by step and enjoy the content together.

Adjusted the Agris Essence (Ancient Anvil) caps per enhancement level for Blackstar gear and Godr-Ayed weapons.

Blackstar Weapons & Defense Gear
Enhancement Level	Before	After
+15 → PRI (I)	5	4
PRI (I) → DUO (II)	6	5
DUO (II) → TRI (III)	8	6
TRI (III) → TET (IV)	12	9
TET (IV) → PEN (V)	20	15

Godr-Ayed Weapons
Enhancement Level	Before	After
+15 → PRI (I)	10	7
PRI (I) → DUO (II)	12	9
DUO (II) → TRI (III)	15	11
TRI (III) → TET (IV)	20	15
TET (IV) → PEN (V)	25	18

* With the update on Feb 27 (Thu), the Agris Essence stacks on your gear will be applied as shown in the examples below.

■ Example gear) Blackstar weapon at TET (IV) → PEN (V) (when Agris Essence 20 → 15 update is applied)
Example ① - If you had 10 stacks of Agris Essence...
→ Your Agris Essence stack of 10 remains unchanged. Accumulate 5 more Agris Essence to activate the Ancient Anvil.
→ Once you accumulate 5 more and activate the anvil, the next enhancement attempt with be 100% successful, guaranteed.

Example ② - If you had 15 stacks of Agris Essence...
→ Your Agris Essence stack of 15 remains unchanged, but will immediately activate the anvil from reaching the cap of 15.
→ The following enhancement attempt will be 100% guaranteed.

Example ③ - If you had 20 stacks of Agris Essence...
→ Your Agris Essence stack of 20 remains unchanged, but will immediately activate the anvil from reaching the cap of 15.
→ The following enhancement attempt will be 100% guaranteed.

* The following for the Ancient Anvil system, which guaranteed 100% enhancement success upon activation, remains the same as before.
▶ Successfully enhancing with the Ancient Anvil activated will not consume your character's enhancement chance.
▶ Successfully enhancing with the Ancient Anvil activated will reset the accumulated Agris Essence on the respective piece of gear.
