The terms are only applied to items finalized in sale before a date to be announced. Does not apply to items other than weapons, armor and accessories. UPDATE: This measure will be replaced with a different event, to announced closer to the day of the update. 3) Events every week for either discount in item enhancement/transcendence/re-identification or looting chance +200%.

Unchanged on weapon trade Category Velcoffer Lolopanther, Solmiki Enhancement Lv YES YES Transcendence Lv YES YES Enchantment YES YES Awakening YES YES Set Stats Set stats transferred n/a Changed on weapon trade Category Velcoffer Lolopanther, Solmiki Potential and Sockets One-handed -> One-handed No change No change Two-handed -> Two-handed No change No change One-handed -> Two handed Potential +1 No change Two-handed -> One-handed (5 sockets) Socket -2, Potential +2 Two-handed -> One-handed (4 sockets) Socket -1, Potential +1 Two-handed -> One-handed (less than or equal to 3 socket) No change No change * Ichor extraction Extracted n/a * Ichor Extraction: To prevent Ichors from losing their value due to extraction and main weapon type change, all players are provided with 100% Ichor Extraction Voucher on the following grounds: 100% Fixed Stat Ichor Extraction Voucher for where fixed stat ichors are used 100% Random Stat Ichor Extraction Voucher for where random stat ichors are used Unique Raid Weapons - Stats of items from before the update are not maintained. They will be replaced with new item stats. - Due to potential and maximum socket adjustments, items may be different before and after the update. Unique Random-Stat Weapons - If changing from a one-handed weapon to another one-handed weapon, or from a two-handed weapon to another two-handed weapon, the item’s stats will be maintained. - If changing from a one-handed weapon to a two-handed weapon or vice-versa, the item’s stats are reset and an Artisan Magnifier is provided. - Due to potential and maximum socket adjustments, items may be different before and after the update. Velcoffer Cannons - Currently existing Velcoffer Cannons become designated as ‘(Old) Velcoffer Cannon’ after the update. - You can exchange your (Old) Velcoffer Cannon for a two-handed weapon at the NPC. This will give you a ‘Velcoffer Cannon (Two-handed)’ with the same stats, plus +2 sockets and +1 potential. - Exchanging your cannon with a ‘Velcoffer Cannon (Two-handed)’ counts as a one-handed to two-handed weapon change, so you will not be able to exchange your new ‘Velcoffer Cannon (Two-handed)’ for another Legend weapon with this service. - Even if you do not change your existing Velcoffer Cannon for a new one while the weapon exchange service is available, all ‘(Old) Velcoffer Cannons’ will automatically be replaced by a ‘Velcoffer Cannon (Two-handed)’ after the service closes. Socket and potential increases will apply as mentioned above for these items as well. - If an item that needs to be automatically exchanged is being kept in your Team Storage, it will be sent to the Market Retrieve tab of the first character in your Lodge list. If no character is available for that, the item is sent back to your Team Storage. 7) Appearance items obtained through TP purchase will be returned. - Weapons under appearance item effects will be returned to their basic appearance during the scheduled maintenance for the [Re:Build] update. - The appearance item used on the weapon will be returned to your Market Retrieve tab. - If you have used a Weapon Appearance Material from the TP shop to change weapon appearance and want to have the Weapon Appearance Material item returned, please make a request by sending us an inquiry ticket. We will only process the tickets received within the first two weeks of the [Re:Build] update in the following format: 1. Server Name: 2. Team Name: 3. Character Name: 4. Name of item used as material for appearance change: 5. Name of item that had its appearance changed: The above measures have been planned through careful consideration to minimize the distress that players may experience with the drastic changes that the game is undergoing. At this stage, all plans for dealing with compatibility issues are subject to further changes with the actual implementation of the [Re:Build] update and we promise to keep our ears open to the feedback from the community with the implementation of the [Re:Build] update and to always strive to make progress wherever possible. Thank you.

Compatibility Issues & Solutions (Click here) 6. FAQ 2 (Click here) Greetings, Saviors! As you can tell from the title of this post, here we’ll be discussing in more detail possible questions you may still have about the [Re:Build] update. We remind you that the full extent of skill changes and other updates will be released only through the patch notes when this update hits, but we hope this can satisfy your curiosity on some of the patch’s novelties. Q. Why aren’t you letting players exchange armor items as compensation for compatibility issues? We have provided armor exchange services in previous patches that dealt directly with the functions of armor items, as not doing so would result in losses for players who had already farmed for items according to their own needs. With [Re:Build], however, the armor mastery changes don’t affect players in the same way, and so we’re not providing an exchange service for armor equipment. In this update, we’re increasing the performance of all kinds of armor mastery by the same standards, but the basic functions of the items themselves will not change. It may feel as though Leather-type armor becomes relatively more important with [Re:Build], but due to the formula adjustments, it ends up performing very similarly to what it does prior to the update. As for the “class-specific armor mastery” we talked about in part 1 of the [Re:Build] details post, that will come later with the introduction of the next generation of items. We aren’t sure yet of when that will be ready, but it will likely have a more direct impact on the game’s items, so we will certainly consider an exchange service when the time comes. Q. We’re worried that game content is going to remain unbalanced after [Re:Build]. We, too, recognize that the high efficiency of certain game features has caused players to largely forsake others. To combat this, we want to transfer some of the elements of popular content to features that are less efficient. On the other hand, this involves tampering with aspects of TOS beloved by many players, so we will need to be careful about any changes we make. Nothing is set in stone yet, but we’re working on a few content revisions to supplement and reinforce the purpose and meaning of each of these game features, and we will let you in on the details once we have more concrete information to share. Q. How did you end up choosing ‘Scout’ as the new class tree? Our main focus with this update was to make sure that the distinctive traits and personality of each class were maintained no matter what build you create. Equipment compatibility was, of course, a major aspect of it. Some compatibility issues were solved by transferring a class to a different tree, like in the case of the Hackapell which, despite currently being in the Archer tree, contains a majority of sword skills (only one skill uses a bow). This wasn’t the case with the soon-to-be Archer tree Rogue, Corsair, Shinobi, Bullet Marker and Schwarzer Reiter. For those classes, we decided to gather them up into a new tree altogether; one where they could synergize. Based on the variety of roles in this tree we added the closest related classes: Linker, Thaumaturge and Enchanter. Then, as you know, in TOS each tree is named after its base class. Rather than constituting a significant part of the lore, class trees help distinguish in-game roles in a way that is meaningful to your build, while still ensuring a healthy degree of variety. Of course, every class has its role in the game’s lore, and we realize that some classes will lose some of theirs by being transferred to a different tree. However, we believe that it is more important for players to be able to create their own unique character builds in a cohesive structure (hence the Bokor tree change, for example: we wanted it to be compatible with other summoning classes). Base classes are decided less on the basis of being the “tree representative”, and more on how well they work with the other classes in the tree. If you look at the Swordsman or Archer trees, for example, their base classes don’t exactly represent the identity of the tree in general. The important thing is whether they are compatible with other classes further up the tree, which is why the Scout, a class with few attack skills, no weapon restrictions and plenty of utility, was chosen as the starting class for the new tree. Q. Since you’re transferring Quick Cast to the Chronomancer skill set, aren’t you worried that it will become a mandatory class in builds with lots of casting? We understand that, in the current game, getting Wizard C3 is almost a mandatory step in casting-heavy builds. Because of this, our goal is to make most casting skills easier and more comfortable to use even without Quick Cast. Casting convenience will also be supported by weapon types like the Rod, increasing the importance of farming for varied equipment items. We hope these changes will define the Chronomancer’s Quick Cast as a nice plus, rather than a necessity, and we will continue to watch out for its usage to ensure it doesn’t become “mandatory”. Q. Where does the name of the new field boss – Boruta – come from? Boruta is the name of a noble devil from Eastern European folklore who busied himself with corrupting fellow aristocrats. According to tales, he preferred to leave those of lower social classes to the mercy of other treacherous devils. ※ Note that the above content is still under development and may be subject to changes before it is finally applied to the game.

Compatibility Issues & Solutions (Click here) 6. FAQ 2 (Click here) Greetings, Saviors! This post will be all about the new content that's making its way to TOS with the [Re:Build] update. If you're interested in knowing how this update is going to change the rank system and other game features, make your way to our double post on that (click here for part 1). Otherwise, keep reading for more details on the new raids and items. Borutos Kapas A Large-Scale Field Raid <View of the Slibinas Lair.> Along with rank system changes, we are working on new game content where players can participate on a scale larger than ever before in TOS. ‘Borutos Kapas’ is a Lv 360 large-scale field raid. All eligible Saviors must join forces to stop the dragon Boruta from once again wreaking havoc on the Kingdom. In doing so, you can obtain new kinds of equipment, called ‘Seals’ and ‘Medals of Honor’, issued by the Kingdom in recognition of the contributions made in holding back Boruta’s reawakening. Stopping the almighty Boruta is not an easy task and you must be well equipped and well prepared in order to survive. Dragon Boruta - The Ultimate Field Boss Boruta and his kin were vanquished many eons ago when the goddesses and demon lords ruled the lands. Most of the dragonkin were hunted down by the goddesses and demon lords, or imprisoned by them in the darkest depths of the world. For millions of years, Boruta tried many times to return to the world to unleash his vengeance on those who shamed him, but had been held back under the watchful eyes of the goddesses. But now that the goddess’ powers have diminished significantly due to Medzio Diena, the treacherous Boruta begins to rear his head once more. The story of dragon Boruta was only told through the books until now. Are you ready to face this legendary creature? New Equipment and Rewards How to Obtain the Rewards Players are rewarded on the basis of their contribution in suppressing Boruta’s reawakening. This reward issued to players is called the ‘Medal of Honor’, and the guild who made the greatest contribution overall can receive a new type of equipment called the ‘Seal’. You can talk to Kupole Kaze located in the Vedas Plateau to find out how much contribution you and your guild have made in suppressing Boruta's reawakening. New Equipment Type: Seals A new type of equipment called ‘Seal’ is introduced with the [Re:Build] update. This item will affect the skills for all five class trees and enhance the stats attached to Legend-grade items above Velcoffer. As an example, the damage received by the player under the Ire of Karujas effect will be reduced from 20% to 5%. Seals can be enhanced by Blacksmith Teliavelis. To enhance a seal, two seals of the same grade and same enhancement level are required. Upon successful enhancement, the bonus stats inherent to the seal being upgraded will be activated. Medal of Honor: Boruta The ‘Medal of Honor’ is given out by Kupole Kaze when your contribution points in suppressing Dragon Boruta have reached a certain level. These medals can be traded with the Merchant NPC in your Guild Hangout for special items. New Legend Card: Boruta <New Legend Card: Boruta.> Successfully suppressing Boruta’s reawakening grants all participants a chance to obtain the new Legend Card. The Mark of Honor: Borutos Kapas <A character wearing the Mark of Boruta.> Boruta never forgets. When the Saviors join forces against him, he remembers those who scarred him the most in battle. All members of the guild that have the highest contribution points in the battle against the dragon will wear the Mark of Boruta. The Mark of Boruta is in the shape of a dragon’s wings and will last for two weeks. As good as it looks, it also puts you and your allies in great peril as Boruta’s attention and hatred will be drawn towards those who wear the Mark. Join the Strike Force! Joining the Strike Force: Collecting the Urbas Insignia To receive protection from Boruta’s wrath, players are required to have the ‘Urbas Insignia’. Giving the insignia to Kupole Kaze will help you withstand the damage lashed out by Boruta in Slibinas Lair. The effects of the insignia last until Boruta awakes the next day. The ‘Urbas Insignia’ can be obtained by hunting monsters in an area of Lv. 330 or higher following the [Re:Build] update. Strike Force Operation Schedules Monday to Saturday Sunday Times (server time) 06:00 to 03:00 the following day 1) 06:00 to 19:30 2) 21:30 to 03:00 the following day Boruta will attempt to spread his wings and escape from Slibinas Lair after a certain time has passed. When this happens, the Kupoles will attempt to stop Boruta from escaping. The Strike Force can assault Boruta any time to weaken him except when he is attempting to escape. About Boruta When Boruta awakes from his slumber, his longstanding hatred towards goddesses and humans causes the very unity between Saviors to falter. All characters not included in your guild become exposed to your attacks. Boruta is a dragon of immense vitality and power. It takes more than a little preparation to face against such a strong beast. Boruta’s intense malice will chase after you and attempt to steal your spirit. In this location, the dragon’s roar awaits its next victim… Companions and trusty summons will help protect you from Boruta’s hatred. The Dragon Regains His Strength… With the goddesses disappeared, as time passes Boruta will only become stronger and stronger. However, even the ultimate monster is no match to those chosen by the goddess, if only they join forces to defeat this powerful beast. Unique Raid: Astral Tower Closed Quarters Astral Tower Closed Quarters: What Are They? The Closed Quarters are a new area with entrance located on the 4th floor of the Astral Tower. Originally, there were several restricted sections in the Astral Tower. The one on 5F was closed off under Ignas’ command after he became head of the tower. Unsatisfied with rising to leader of the Schaffenstar, not only did Ignas collude with the demons, he made secret attempts to reach otherworldly beings from his closed quarters. In the Closed Quarters, you are accompanied by NPC Elder Ramunas, an ally with vast knowledge on the Astral Tower who will provide precious help during the raid. Ignas is a clever man, and he’s laid out multiple barriers throughout the quarters to deter intruders. Ignas’ closed quarters also include a series of power sources that keep those barriers running. In order to reach him, you will have to disable each one of the power sources, but there will be obstacles to your mission. Astral Tower Closed Quarters: Ignas Ignas uses a bow as his main weapon, dealing mostly long-range attacks, but he also specializes in Lightning magic. One may think an archer like him would be vulnerable to close-range attacks, but he isn’t foolish enough to let you come close… Besides his weapon specialization, Ignas is fast and very intelligent. He directs his attacks to whoever represents the biggest threat, and he has several traps set up to impede those who intrude in his space. Not only that, despite having been overthrown by the resistance forces, Ignas is still followed by numerous subordinates who will do anything to stop you.

Compatibility Issues & Solutions (Click here) 6. FAQ 2 (Click here) Greetings, Saviors! Welcome to part two of this detailed blog post on the upcoming [Re:Build] update. If you haven’t yet, make sure to read part 1 first (click here), so you won’t miss important info on the new advancement system, skills and attributes. Character Stats and Formulas We see three major issues with how basic stats are currently handled in the game. 1. Focusing stat point investment on a single stat has great consequences in the balance of individual characters. 2. Some stats display far more efficacy than others, according to their effects. 3. A single basic stat can influence several other stats, displaying excessive importance in item stats. In order to address these issues, we are automating stat allocation in tune with level-up progress and adapting stat effect formulas, while reducing the number of other stats they influence. Stat Allocation According to Level Our current basic stat system was designed so that players could freely customize their character builds as they level up. Unfortunately, with the maximum character level now reaching Lv. 390, this created an environment where many characters have all of their points invested on a single basic stat, resulting in an excessive influence on other stats. With the [Re:Build] update, characters no longer obtain stat points when they level up. Instead, basic stats increase automatically by about two points (twice the current amount) with every character level achieved, according to that character’s class choices. Every class has its own set ratio of stats, and your final basic stat composition is determined by the average of the ratios assigned to each of your classes. For example, if you pick only attack-focused classes from the Swordsman tree, you’ll likely end up with higher STR and DEX values. Similarly, should you go for more defensive classes, CON will be among your main basic stats. A less specialized, more balanced selection of classes will result in a relatively even basic stat composition. Of course, differences do exist even among characters of the same sort (dealer, tank, support, etc.), as each class and role introduces new basic stat setups. The following are the basic stat ratios applied to characters based on different class choices. <Basic stat differences between a Lv. 390 Swordsman-Highlander and Swordsman-Peltasta character.> Swordsman Tree Class STR DEX CON INT SPR Swordsman 0.75 0.5 0.75 0 0 Nak Muay 0.6 1 0.4 0 0 Doppelsoeldner 0.9 0.7 0.4 0 0 Dragoon 1 0.4 0.6 0 0 Lancer 1 0.45 0.55 0 0 Retiarius 0.9 0.6 0.5 0 0 Rodelero 0.7 0.4 0.9 0 0 Matador 0.9 0.5 0.6 0 0 Murmillo 0.8 0.4 0.8 0 0 Barbarian 0.8 0.8 0.4 0 0 Cataphract 1.1 0.4 0.5 0 0 Templar 0.65 0.7 0.65 0 0 Fencer 0.6 1.1 0.3 0 0 Peltasta 0.3 0.2 1.5 0 0 Highlander 0.95 0.8 0.25 0 0 Hackapell 0.75 0.8 0.45 0 0 Hoplite 0.8 0.5 0.7 0 0 Wizard Tree Class STR DEX CON INT SPR Wizard 0 0 0.4 0.8 0.8 Necromancer 0 0 0.3 0.6 1.1 Taoist 0 0 0.5 0.7 0.8 Rune Caster 0 0 0.55 0.85 0.6 Bokor 0 0 0.4 0.7 0.9 Psychokino 0 0 0.55 0.95 0.5 Shadowmancer 0 0 0.4 1.1 0.5 Sage 0 0 0.3 1 0.7 Sorcerer 0 0 0.2 0.7 1.1 Alchemist 0 0 0.55 0.65 0.8 Elementalist 0 0 0.2 1 0.8 Warlock 0 0 0.2 1.1 0.7 Onmyoji 0 0 0.4 0.95 0.65 Chronomancer 0 0 0.55 0.7 0.75 Cryomancer 0 0 0.7 0.7 0.6 Pyromancer 0 0 0.5 0.9 0.6 Featherfoot 0 0 0.6 0.7 0.7 Archer Tree Class STR DEX CON INT SPR Archer 0.75 0.75 0.5 0 0 Appraiser 0.85 0.65 0.5 0 0 Ranger 1.1 0.6 0.3 0 0 Musketeer 1.1 0.4 0.5 0 0 Mergen 1 0.6 0.4 0 0 Wugushi 1 0.5 0.5 0 0 Sapper 0.7 0.4 0.9 0 0 Falconer 0.8 0.5 0.7 0 0 Cannoneer 1.2 0.2 0.6 0 0 Quarrel Shooter 0.5 0.5 1 0 0 Pied Pier 0.7 0.7 0.6 0 0 Fletcher 1 0.65 0.35 0 0 Hunter 0.9 0.3 0.8 0 0 Cleric Tree Class STR DEX CON INT SPR Cleric 0.25 0.25 0.45 0.25 0.8 Druid 0.6 0.4 0.3 0.6 0.1 Dievdirbys 0.2 0.15 0.35 0.7 0.6 Monk 0.8 0.7 0.5 0 0 Miko 0.2 0 0.5 0.5 0.8 Sadhu 0 0 0.3 1.2 0.5 Exorcist 0 0 0.4 1.2 0.4 Oracle 0.2 0.2 0.4 0.4 0.8 Inquisitor 1 0.4 0.6 0 0 Zealot 0.7 0.8 0.5 0 0 Chaplain 0.7 0.7 0.3 0.15 0.15 Kabbalist 0.15 0.15 0.3 0.3 1.1 Krivis 0.7 0.15 0.3 0.7 0.15 Pardoner 0.15 0.15 0.4 0.5 0.8 Paladin 0.3 0.2 1.1 0.2 0.2 Priest 0.15 0.15 0.3 0.4 1 Plague Doctor 0.15 0.15 0.4 0.6 0.7 Scout Tree Class STR DEX CON INT SPR Scout 0.7 0.9 0.4 0 0 Rogue 0.6 0.9 0.5 0 0 Linker 0.7 0.8 0.5 0 0 Bullet Marker 0.75 1.1 0.15 0 0 Schwarzer Reiter 0.8 0.95 0.25 0 0 Squire 0.7 0.7 0.6 0 0 Shinobi 0.75 0.9 0.35 0 0 Thaumaturge 0.65 0.65 0.7 0 0 New Class 1 0.9 0.7 0.4 0 0 New Class 2 0.55 1.1 0.35 0 0 Enchanter 0.45 1 0.55 0 0 Corsair 0.85 0.75 0.4 0 0 With these calculations, a character consisting of Swordsman - Highlander - Barbarian - Doppelsoeldner has their STR increased by (0.75 + 0.95 + 0.8 + 0.9) / 4 = 0.85 per level. Final values are rounded out to the nearest whole number. The basic stat system then becomes more automated according to your level, but the original mechanism isn’t completely discarded. You can still invest stat points obtained from quests and Goddess Statues freely in a stat of your choice, and you can reset them with a Stat Reset Potion as well. When the [Re:Build] update hits, all stat points obtained by leveling up will be automatically reset so they can be reapplied. Basic Stat Effects The effects of each basic stat change as follows. Stat BEFORE AFTER STR Physical Attack +2 per 1 STR Physical Attack +2 per 1 STR +5 per 10 STR +5% per 10 STR Accuracy +0.5 per 1 STR DELETED +3 per 15 STR CON Max. HP +0.5% of max. HP per level Max.

HP SP Recovery Level * class tree ratio SP Recovery 3% of max. SP Healing +1 per level Healing +1 per level Evasion, Block and Critical in Magic Attacks <Block, evasion and critical being applied to magic attacks.> Like what already happens with physical attacks, concepts of evasion, block and critical rate will apply to magic attacks as well. Here, values of accuracy and evasion, block and block penetration, and critical rate and critical resistance are based off the same stats that influence the effects of physical attacks. <(Left) A rod with magic critical attack values. (Right) HP restoring effects replaced by a magic critical attack stat in Animus.> Critical attack is divided into two different stats – physical critical attack and magic critical attack. The critical attack stat currently in-game turns to physical critical attack at the time of the update, while magic amplification values are adapted to the new magic critical attack stat. Magic amplification as a stat is, then, erased from the game. Some items may also see their stat values altered due to these changes. Evasion, Block and Critical Rate We’re readjusting calculation formulas for evasion, block and critical rate: instead of the [attacker’s stat - target’s stat] format, we will begin applying a [attacker’s stat / target’s stat] approach. In order to maintain evasion, block and critical rate standards, however, we also need to balance out accuracy, block penetration and critical resistance, which requires higher values on these stats. Following these changes, we are switching buff effect constants for ratio-based formulas. This also requires equipment items with higher stat values as characters enter the topmost level brackets. <Evasion values required to maintain the same evasion rate in relation to the opponent’s accuracy, before and after the update.> The graph above may show only the change in evasion values, but block and critical rate stats will produce similar results, though with different factors and formulas. In evasion, for example, when the number of monsters targeting you exceeds 5, every additional monster causes your evasion rate to decrease by 10%, up to a maximum of 50% (10 monsters). As for block, rather than completely nullifying the attack, it will instead cut its damage in half. SP Since new skills introduced after the update will no longer belong to upper ranks, they will no longer require increasingly high SP consumption. If left untouched, this could mean that a lot of characters would end up with excessive SP capacities relatively to how much their skills consume. To prevent that, we’re removing the influence of SPR on SP, and instead have it escalate according to your character level. Following that, the amount of SP consumed by skills is also slightly increased in concordance with the new level-based standards. On the other hand, apart from a few special cases, SP consumption will no longer increase in proportion to skill level. Threat and Casting Time Ratio Factors that determine the degree to which monsters “hate” you, currently referred to as “provocation” or “provocation values”, are unified into a single definition: Threat. Your threat values are displayed in the Character Information window along with other stats. Casting Time Ratio, a stat that tells the variation in skill casting time, is also a new feature displayed in the Character Information window. As new equipment is introduced after the [Re:Build] update, this stat is also set to appear in-game as an item stat. Movement Speed Buffs and consumables that increase movement speed will lose their ability to stack, applying only the highest movement speed value among those that are available. For example, if you receive a +10 movement speed buff and then consume a +5 movement speed potion, only the +10 buff (the one providing the highest value) will apply. That said, movement speed boosts originating from equipment items, Companions, Tokens and other special benefits will continue to stack regardless of this rule. Stacking Defense-Ignoring Effects The following table shows how stacked defense-ignoring effects will have a milder impact after the big update. Defense-ignoring Effect 1 Total Effect Defense-ignoring Effect 2 Total Effect Defense-ignoring Effect 3 Total Effect BEFORE 20% 20% 20% 40% 10% 50% AFTER 20% 36% 42.4% <Percentage of defense ignored according to the number of defense-ignoring stacks, before and after the update.> Items The rank system update is also bringing significant changes to equipment items’ main stats: attack (in weapons) and defense (in armor). Some items will inevitably have their stats updated due to the rearrangement of class trees, while others turn into entirely different equipment types, according to the new class-specific improvements. Main Equipment Stats <Comparison of weapon attack (left) and armor defense (right) values before and after the update.> As classes currently of different ranks and degrees of performance are adapted to the same standards, item growth is set to become more important than ever. In conformity with this, weapons have their attack values increased up to 70%, while armor items see a boost in defense of up to 50%. This, of course, calls for an adjustment of the game’s minimum and maximum attack values as well. There will be no change to enhancement value increases, however, making this equipment-boosting feature slightly less influential. <Defense values before (left) and after (right).> In order to ensure a clearer role separation between one- and two-handed weapons, we are giving shields a significant increase in defense of approximately 252%. A notable change, considering magic attacks are becoming blockable. Within weapons of the same type, the two-handed version can then provide higher attack values, while its one-handed counterpart secures higher defense and block abilities. Other Stats <The Masinios Crossbow undergoes a stat change due to skill Running Shot being deleted.> In cases where an item contains a stat related to deleted skills or ones that are undergoing significant changes due to class tree reallocations, etc. – as is the case of the Masinios Crossbow up here – those stats are replaced by a similar skill function or a different special stat. Gems Following the aforementioned revisions in skill factors, main item stats and evasion/block/critical formulas, regular gems are receiving a few necessary adjustments to their effects. They are as follows. When this update hits, all regular and monster gems will be extracted from equipment items penalty-free and sent to the corresponding character’s Market Retrieve tab. Once again due to heavy class/skill and tree rearrangements, some monster gems (skill gems) are set to become obsolete or unusable. In cases where, after the update, a character’s class has changed trees or a skill has been moved/deleted, any corresponding monster gems in their possession will be replaced with a Monster Gem Selection Box: Class. This item allows players to select one of five boxes containing a monster gem pertinent to their desired class tree. Cannons <Cannons as two-handed weapons.> In line with the class tree overhaul, cannons are reallocated to the two-handed weapon category with all that entails: two-handed weapon attack values and enhancement costs, and higher Blessed Gem requirements for transcendence. Cannons already transcended at the time of the update will see no changes to their stage of transcendence. New cannon varieties introduced after the big patch will come with a maximum of 5 sockets and increased potential. Here, too, cannons already in the game at the time of the update will not undergo any changes related to sockets or potential. <Legend-grade cannon with its number of sockets increased to 5 after the update.> The one item we will alter for this [Re:Build] patch is the Velcoffer Cannon, which sees its maximum sockets increased to 5. Existing Velcoffer Cannons will automatically receive two added sockets with no potential consumed. Other Important System Changes Moving and Jumping Stamina will no longer be consumed by regular movement, decreasing only when the character jumps. This way, Stamina becomes a basic resource to manage during combat, while diminishing inconveniences to regular character movement. <Example: dash differences in Wizard (top) and Archer (bottom) tree characters.> Dash becomes available to characters of all trees, but with different effects and degrees of performance. See below. Tree Effects Swordsman Dash is maintained even when you are attacked. Able to dash while mounted. Wizard Dash movement speed -4 Archer Able to dash only in non-combat situations. Dash movement speed +3 Cleric Same movement speed as the original Dash. (Lycanthropy: Human Form changes to reduce Stamina consumption by 50%) Scout Dash movement speed +3 Stamina consumption +100% Target Priority in Range Attacks In range attacks, the enemy with the highest AoE defense ratio is the first to be selected as the target. For attacks largely influenced by the character’s AoE attack ratio, the larger the number of enemies with a high AoE defense ratio, the harder it becomes to attack multiple enemies at once. On the other hand, this makes it possible for tank characters with a high AoE defense ratio to stand up to certain monster skills on their own. Kannushi Advancement Characters who changed from Miko to Kannushi via Switch Gender no longer need to switch back to female in order to advance to the Miko class again: they can remain a male character and advance straight to Kannushi. This applies to characters who use Switch Gender to become a Kannushi after this patch is applied, but also to those who are already a Kannushi at the time of the update. Characters who do not have the Kannushi class in their build at the time of the update will first need to become one via Switch Gender before this rule applies to them. Sorcerer Riding Skill Targeting After summoning a demon and mounting it with the Riding skill, any demon skills used are directed not to the demon’s target, but in the direction that the demon is currently facing. Skills that require a target to be designated, however, can be directioned towards the closest enemy. Improved Fields and Main Quests In order to combat the problem of long waiting periods between monster respawns in regular fields, which can interfere with the flow of hunting, we are increasing monster populations by 50-450% in a total of 81 regions. Besides this, we are addressing issues of low satisfaction with quest rewards by continuing to increase Silver and EXP yields, particularly in main quests. All 83 final (main) quests in their corresponding level bracket and region have their Silver rewards multiplied by 8-13 times, comparatively to the current game. Main quests and all subquests of level 300 and above also get the following increase in EXP gains. Lv. 1-100 main quests: 5 times increase Lv. 101-200 main quests: 5 times increase Lv. 201-300 main quests: 3 times increase Lv. 301-390 sub- and main quests: 5 times increase In regions corresponding to level brackets lacking a main quest, subquests that are significant enough to the game’s story become main quests as well. Level brackets affected by this change are as follows: Lv. 180-190, Lv. 220-250, Lv. 310-330. Another important change is that, after completing a main quest, any camp warps of lower related regions can be automatically activated. Visit a Wings of Vaivora NPC after completing any of the following quests to activate the corresponding camp warps. Everything Intact (3) Goddess Gabija Mysterious Slate (2) Old Story (7) Revelation of Fortress of the Land Secret Trade (3) Swindler Rexipher The Bishop's Last Mission (2) The Clown from the Closing Show The Demons' Goals The Dimensional Crack (7) The Final Battle (7) The Goddess' Hidden Message The Goddess' Sacrifice (2) The Hidden Sanctum's Revelation (1) The King of the Great Humans The Revelation of Kalejimas This is Only the Beginning To Gateway of the Great King Not only that, Goddess Statues will allow you to move directly to Master NPCs of classes included in your current build. <The new Goddess Statue function lets you move directly to a Class Master NPC.> In order to alleviate common frustrations related to object selection in mouse mode, a new priority selection function (Shift + left-click) is being added that will allow players to move and interact with NPCs more conveniently. Finally, timed items will automatically disappear after they expire, rather than remain in a character’s inventory. System messages will alert you of which expired items were deleted through the chat window. This rule also applies to expired items in the possession of characters at the time of the update. ※ Note that the above content is still under development and may be subject to changes before it is finally applied to the game.
