New Additions and Improvements

Hardcore server

Introducing the pre-season of the Hardcore server, "Battlefield of Blood and Sand," set against the familiar backdrop of Valencia's Great Desert created through the collaboration between Marni and the Crow Merchant Guild.

This Hardcore server, as mentioned in last month's developer update, is content designed for adventurers who have journeyed with us for over 10 years to take a breather. As this Hardcore server is first being introduced as a pre-season, you can embark on an adventure by choosing Warrior, Sorceress, Ranger, or Berserker.

While the desolate desert region of the Hardcore server, where everyone you see is an enemy, might seem intimidating, there's no need to worry. In the Hardcore server, you can earn points by defeating monsters or other adventurers, but you can also accumulate points through quests available daily. The points earned from quests do not disappear even if your character dies, allowing adventurers who find PvP challenging to enjoy the combat without pressure. Of course, those confident in PvP can freely showcase their skills in battles against others.

We ask for your keen interest in the pre-season, which will run for about a month. And after this update, we will swiftly adjust any areas deemed necessary to ensure an even more enjoyable environment.

Added the Hardcore server.
- The Hardcore server challenges players to spend 2 hours a day in the Great Desert, where they can accumulate Survival Points by defeating monsters or other adventurers, and Quest Points by completing quests. The objective is to gather these points and make an offering.
- Offered points are exchanged for " Hardcore Honor," which can be traded for rewards on the live server via the Manage Currency UI.

You can create an exclusive character to log into the Hardcore Server. Only one character slot is available.

Available Classes

You can choose to play from Warrior, Sorceress, Ranger, and Berserker for the Hardcore server's pre-season.

Hardcore Server - How to Participate

Hardcore Server - How to Join
How to Participate	You can connect to the Hardcore server via Server Selection → Hardcore Tab. You can enter the Hardcore Server after creating a Hardcore-exclusive character. Only one character slot is available for Hardcore-exclusive characters. Hardcore-exclusive characters start at Lv. 63. Upon creating a Hardcore-exclusive character, you receive 3,000 Skill Points. Only Warrior, Ranger, Sorceress, and Berserker classes can be created. You can choose between Succession and Awakening.
Period	Mar 13, 2025 (Thu) after maintenance - Apr 10, 2025 (Thu) before maintenance This period is subject to change.
Playtime	Each Family is given 2 hours of playtime per day. Time depletes the moment your character enters the server, and reamining time continues to countdown even while logged out. ex) If you log in at 7 PM and log out at 8 PM, you cannot log back in at 9 PM as your time is exhausted. Playtime resets 23 hours after the last Hardcore server login. ex) If you logged in at 10:30 AM, you can log in again the next day at 9:30 AM. You can connect to the Hardcore server even while Node/Conquest Wars are in progress. * Caution Once you complete an offering, you cannot play for the rest of the day. Even if you have an hour of playtime left, you cannot re-enter after making an offering. After offering, you will be automatically logged out from the Hardcore server and redirected to the Character Selection window.

Hardcore Server - Gameplay

On the Hardcore server, defeat monsters to earn Survival Points and collect Junk loot.
- If your character dies, you'll lose 30% of your Survival Points.
- You can sell your Junk loot to a sanctum NPC to exchange it into "Hardcore Coin" which can be used to purchase various items from the NPC shop.

Completing quests on the Hardcore server will earn you Quest Points.
- Quest Points do not disappear even if your character dies.

By offering both Survival and Quest Points at a sanctum, you can earn Hardcore Honor based on your total points.
- You can view your Hardcore Honor via the Manage Currency UI.

You can exchange Hardcore Honor for various items.

Hardcore Server - Rules

Survival Points	Defeat monsters to earn. The stronger the foe, the greater the points. Defeat other adventurers to claim 10% of their Survival Points. However, you receive the following penalty if your Survival Point is at or above 3,000. If you defeat an adventurer with less than 20% of your own points, a -30% penalty applies. ex) If you have 5,000 points and defeat someone with 1,000 or fewer, you'll lose 1,500 points. Character-specific, so deleting/recreating a character resets your points. Character deletion triggers a 3 min wait time. Unoffered Survival Points are not counted towards the next day's Offering Points upon login. However, they will remain in your total Survival Points. ex) If you earn 500 Survival Points on day 1 and exit, the next day's Offering Points reset to 0, while total Survival Points start at 500.
Quest Points	Complete quests on the Hardcore server to earn. Significant amount awarded upon completion. Quests can be undertaken once daily and are assigned randomly based on your Survival Points. Under 200 Survival Points - Defeat Ancient Weapons x100-150 200-1,499 Survival Points - Defeat Desert Naga/Fogan, Crescent Shrine monsters You can forfeit these quests but cannot change their type. Quest Points do not disappear upon death. Quest Points do not reset even after the offering. ex) If you complete a quest and earn 1,500 Quest Pints, then disconnect, the next day you will start with 1,500 Offering Points available. If you complete a quest after midnight the next day, you cannot start a new one for that day.
Items	Hardcore-exclusive gear is provided but cannot be repaired or enhanced. Max Durability for gear is different compared to the normal server.
Death	You lose 30% of your Survival Points. ex) If you had 1,000 points, you will lose 300 upon character death. Dying to fall damage or monster attacks applies the same penalty. * Quest points remain intact regardless of character death. Equipped gear can lose Durability according to a set probability. Gear in your inventory are safe.
Revival	You'll spawn at one of four designated sanctums upon first logging in and/or revival. Revivals are instant with no limits. If you don't revive manually within 60 sec, you'll be automatically revived.
Escape	The ESC > Escape function is available if you get stuck in terrain or found yourself immobilized. You'll be relocated to a safe area without monsters. You'll not be relocated to any of the sanctums. The function's cooldown remains unchanged.
Rank	Survival Point rankings are tallied periodically. This excludes those with 100 points or fewer. Rankings are based on individual characters. The top 10 adventurers by total Survival Points are marked on the World Map. * Total Survival Points Rankings The total amount of accumulated Survival Points are tallied to determine Hardcore server rankings. Server rankings are updated when you log out or make an offering. Rankings for everyone will reset daily at midnight. Titles and rewards based on rank will be given at the season's end.
System	Connecting to the Hardcore server will automtically turn on Privacy Mode. You can only reset your skills in sanctums and Mysterious Light safe zones. Skill add-ons are unavailable. You can use the World/minimap and auto-navigate the desert without need for a compass. Pets are unavailable, but your character will auto-loot at speeds equivalent to having one taken out. Looting speeds equal to having one Tier 5 Alpha Pet and four Tier 4 "Agile" pets.
Restricted or Unavailable Items	Combat/Skill EXP Opponent's Family/Guild Name Party/Platoon Non-server Chat Non-server Rankings Food/Elixir Buffs Pearl Outfits Family Inventory Storage/Central Market Warehouse/Maids & Butlers Artifact Inventory Agris' Fever Fairy Skills Crystal Presets Non-server Challenges Wroker Stamina Recovery Gathering Interactions Black Spirit Quests/Chat Black Spirit's Safe/Mailbox Adventurer's Log Stat Gains Item Drop Rate Increase Buffs This includes buffs from node investments, Knowledge, Family Fame, and items.

Only server chat is available; general chat is disabled. Server chat consumes Energy.

Hardcore Server - Quests

Upon first entering the Hardcore server, you'll encounter an initial quest.
Accept the "Perilous Journey Begins" quest from NPC Faisal near the starting point's sanctum.

Quest Name	Condition	Objective	Reward
Perilous Journey Begins	-	Talk to Faisal	Crow HP Potion x20

After completing the Perilous Journey Begins quest, you can accept a random quest from NPC Faisal based on your Survival Points.
- These quests are available once per day, and you cannot accept more than one at a time.
- The quest you can accept each day depends on your current Survival Points.
  - Your current Survival Points are displayed above your character name.

e.g.
If you have 1,504 points, you can accept one of the following quests: [Main] Defeat "Furious" Desert Nagas, [Main] Defeat "Furious" Desert Fogans, or [Main] Defeat "Furious" Crescent Shrine monsters.
However, if your character dies and your points decrease while a quest is in progress, you can still continue the current quest. If you forfeit and try to accept a new quest, you can only choose from quests available for 200 to 1,500 points.

* The Survival Points required for quests in monster zones beyond the Gahaz Bandits are currently too high due to the influence of frenzied Black Spirits, making quest acceptance near impossible.

Bonus quests will appear according to a set probability while defeating monsters on the Hardcore server.
- These quests are available once per day, and you cannot accept more than one at a time.

Quest Name	Condition	Objective	Reward
[Special] Defeat "Ancient Extermination Weapon" Laytenn	-	Defeat Laytenn	3,000 Quest Points
[Special] Defeat "Boss" Ancient Puturum	-	Defeat Puturum	3,000 Quest Points
[Special] Defeat All Monsters I	-	Defeat all monsters x1,000	3,000 Quest Points
[Special] Defeat All Monsters II	-	Defeat all monsters x1,500	3,000 Quest Points

The sanctums offer the following functions:
- Meet NPCs to undertake daily quests and earn Quest Points.
- Certain NPCs offer purchasing/selling various items to help prepare your gear for adventures ahead.
If you disconnect after making an offering, you will start at the Pilgrim's Sanctum upon next login.

- Boss monsters will despawn if not defeated within 30 min.

- You can offer up to 10,000 points (Survival + Quest) daily.
Unoffered Survival Points are not counted towards the next day's Offering Points upon login.

- e.g. If you earn 500 Survival Points on day 1 and log out, the next day starts with 0 Offering Points but 500 total Survival Points.
Quest Points do not reset, even if not offered.

Wandering Merchant

Hardcore Server - Challenges

Added Hardcore server-exclusive Challenges.
- Complete each Challenge to claim special titles.
- The title of the highest rank you've obtained will automatically be applied to your character. These titles can only be used on the Hardcore server.
- Hardcore server challenges and obtained titles will be reset and deleted, respectively, if you delete your Hardcore server character.

Hardcore Server - Season Rewards

Generally, rank signifies remarkable achievements of adventurers, but on the Hardcore server, we've set it up to mean something slightly different.

On the Hardcore server, the top 10 adventurers' locations are always visible on the World Map, encouraging more frequent combat. Consequently, season rank rewards are considered more of a bonus. Additionally, rankings on the Hardcore Server change rapidly, serving as a catalyst to add a burst of excitement into adventurers' gameplay rather than focusing on reaching and keeping rankings.

The following titles and rewards will be issued when the Hardcore server pre-season ends based on the rank/percentile achieved.
- Hardcore title rewards are available for use for 30 days.

Title	Required Placement	Rewards
Transcended	1st	- Title: Transcended - Cron Stone x500 - Gold Bar 10,000G x2 - Choose Your 10 Immortal Perfume Box x1

Class Changes

Today marks the start of the update where we will apply various class balance adjustments over the coming weeks. Before we go through the details, we want to discuss the direction of these adjustments. This balance update aims to significantly enhance classes that have been perceived as underperforming in PvE, thereby shifting how adventurers view their PvE performance.

In the past, balance adjustments were designed conservatively, considering many factors that could emerge based on adventurers' mastery of their characters once the updates went live. We were mindful that reverting a previously enhanced balance could lead to dissatisfaction among adventurers.

As a result, many adventurers felt that the adjustments did not lead to noticeable improvements. During the upcoming balance adjustment period, we plan to make bold weekly changes to ensure a more tangible impact.

However, if any adjustments are deemed excessive after the live update, we will promptly readjust by the following week to find an appropriate balance.

For PvP balance, we will enhance classes currently underperforming and tone down those with relative advantages. Additionally, we plan to address aspects that may feel awkward in PvP situations through this update.

We understand how crucial PvP balance is, so rather than finalizing adjustments in one go, we will monitor subsequent data and make swift changes as needed. We ask for adventurers' understanding and patience in this process.
