The Second Half of 2023 Update Preview
By STAFF_Alex
Aug 18th, 2023
Greetings Savior!
This is [GM] Kiwi.
How are you enjoying your summer?
It seems like only yesterday that the walls between the servers were torn down by the W server, and now we're already mid-past the year 2023!
Today we're going to talk about some of the upcoming updates that we think you'll be excited about.
New episodes and terrifying raid bosses are coming soon, along with new equipment, progression content, and events to make the Saviors more powerful!
With the hot and busy lives of our saviors, we hope you’ll be able to get a lift up today from the news we brought:)
1. Abyssal Observer and the Secret Laboratory
Remember in the last episode, when the Beholder took advantage of the unfortunate Rose and returned the Devilgloves to its previous shape?
My heart still aches when I think of Rose...
The Beholder - now with the complete Devilgloves - is hiding in his secret laboratory, where he's planning another terrible deed.
His hideout is sure to be full of powerful monsters and traps, but for a Savior who's made it this far, it won’t be a problem!
The Beholder looks a little different from what we know. The two Devilgloves are giving it an even more powerful aura.
It looks like we need to stop the Beholder before he does something more terrible!
Abyssal Observer is a Goddess raid that where the Saviors must face the powerful Beholder.
It is divided into Solo, Normal, and Hard, depending on the difficulty and how you want to participate, and is only available after you reach level 500.
Be prepared for the Hard difficulty, as it awaits the Saviors with more powerful attacks and special skills.
We hope you're ready for the challenge!
2. Max Level Expansion and New Goddess Equipment
To take on tougher enemies, including a much stronger Abyssal Observer, you'll need even more powerful gears.
▶ Level 500 Expansion
As some Saviors may have already noticed, we're excited to announce that character levels are expanding to 500.
With this expansion comes access to higher-tier Aether Gems, Goddess Ichors, Evolution Stones, Arcanums, and more!
▶ New Goddess Equipment
Of course, there are new weapons and armor to go along with level 500.
New Goddess gear can be earned by succeeding [Lv. 480] gear with a +20 buff.
Transmuted skills applied to [Lv. 480] equipment will be retained after Succession and by opening the socket of the new equipment with Goddess Token (Lada), previously used Color Gems, Aether Gems, and Skill Gems will be available for the new gear.
Unfortunately, Evolution Stone effects do not carry over when succeeded, so be sure to keep that in mind!
We'll also have more information on how the enhancement value of the new Goddess equipment will be after the succession:
| Equipment | [Lv.480] Goddess | [Lv.500] Goddess |
|
Enhancement
Value |
20 |
10
|
| 21 | ||
| 22 |
11

| 30 | 15 |
!!TIP: Equipment that succeeds a transmutation skill can progress through skill transmutation regardless of its enhancement level.
3. Blessing of Lada and Grace stat
The new [Lv. 500] Goddess Gear (Armor) and [Lv. 500] Goddess Ichor is said to have special stats that have never been seen before.
Let's take a look at the Lada and Grace stats that will make you even more powerful.
▶ Lada stat equipment
<Introductory image / may differ from actual live application>
Equipment with Lada stat carries a special effect called Blessing of Lada.
It can be obtained by a very low chance from Challenge Mode - Division Singularity, Blockade Battle, and Goddess’ Grace.
We've also heard that these special gears you'll find in Challenge Mode - Division Singularity content will have the same level of enhancement and part (ex; boots) as your current [Lv. 500] Goddess gear, so don’t worry about starting over from the bottom!
!!TIP - Blessing of Lada stats will grant different types of stats for different parts of equipment.
▶ Goddess Ichor with Grace stats
Savior, did you know that there is a hidden 5th stat for the Goddess Ichor?
<Introductory image / may differ from actual live application>
The Grace stat is a special stat granted to [Lv. 500] Advanced Goddess Ichor.
Advanced Goddess Ichors with the Grace stat can be obtained with a low chance in Challenge Mode or when fragmenting the [Lv. 500] Goddess Ichor.
The effect of the Grace stats is said to be amplified when more stats of the same name are gathered together.
We can't wait to see the Saviors’ adventures with the powerful effects of the Grace stats!
4. Changes in the Growth Contents
As levels expand and new equipment is added, some of the growth content is also changing.
Let's take a look at what's coming!
▶ Challenge Mode Changed
First, the difficulty of Challenge Mode will change from Lv. 480 to Lv. 500.
The rewards in Challenge Mode will be changed to drop the new Goddess equipment enhancement materials and Advanced Ichors with the Grace stat.
▶ Challenge Mode: Division Singularity Reorganized
In addition to the changes to Challenge Mode, Division Singularity content will be reorganized to include a new system called Trespass (working title).
As you play Division Singularity, there's a chance that a powerful Follower monster will trespass the dungeon. Defeating these monsters and clearing the dungeon will reward you with items related to Jurate Seal.
Also, if you complete the Division Singularity regardless of whether this follower monster is defeated or not, there is a chance that you may obtain equipment with the Blessing of Lada stat!
We're also excited to announce that a new difficulty level, Division Singularity (EX), will be added to Challenge Mode.
The Division Singularity (EX) difficulty is content that awaits the challenge of top-tier Saviors with its high difficulty and limited entry.
You can expect increased rewards compared to normal difficulty, and more frequent trespass of the Follower monsters in Division Singularity (EX).
If you're a top-tier Savior, why not take on the challenge?
5. Popo Boost Event
In addition to all of these content updates, we have also prepared a growth support event for new and returning Saviors packed with lavish rewards.
Participating in the Popo Boost event will earn you a variety of rewards based on your gear score, allowing you to follow the guide and adapt to the Tree of Savior.
If you're a new/returning Savior, don’t miss this great opportunity!
Of course, this event is also open to veteran Saviors as well.
Why not take this opportunity to make a character in a class you've always had your eye on?
These are just a taste of what's to come and we hope this brings up the Savior’s excitement for the next adventure.
We've got a lot more coming up which wasn’t mentioned in today’s post - including Damage Effect Skins, Unknown Sanctuary 3F, Dreamy Forest raid, and a new Blockade boss - so stay tuned!
I hope you have a great day with Tree of Savior, and will be back next time with more news.
This has been your [GM] Kiwi!
Thank you!
