September 4 Patch Notes

General Changes

  • Various minor localization updates.
  • Additional Korean localization improvements and additions.
  • Fixed an issue where players would sometimes disconnect when Buy Back items expired.
  • Endless Quivers no longer display "-1" while equipped.
  • Shields no longer appear on your back if your wings or capes are visible.
  • Fixed a visual bug where equipment sometimes displayed incorrect Defense Rate values when the value was 0.09% or lower.
  • Resolved a client crash issue that occurred when equipping helmets with both "Show Helmet" and "Show Back Gear" turned off.
  • The Lords of Ladianes can now activate a 10% Resource Rate Buff for 1 hour at the cost of 1M Leni.

 

Balance Changes

  • The flat defense provided by belts has been removed from all belts, as it was causing excessively low damage when combined with other damage reduction factors (e.g., Battle Cry).
  • The Defense Rate stat bonus on belts has been reduced by 50% at each stat level.
  • The Dodge Rate stat bonus on belts and wings has also been reduced by 50% at each stat level.
  • Wings can now have either Dodge Rate or Hit Rate as a stat, but not both.
    • The Hit Rate per stat level on wings is now equal to 80% of that provided by other equipment. For example, normal equipment gives 10% Hit Rate at level 10 and wings give 8%.
    • This change ensures that the Dodge Rate from belts and wings isn’t completely negated and still offers some benefit when upgraded or when that stat path is chosen.

 

Catastropha Cavern Changes

  • The health of all Catastropha Cavern monsters has been reduced by 10%.
  • Fixed an issue where Vice Eggs had incorrect flat Physical Defense values (they had about 400 less than other bosses).
  • The drop rate of Sephiroth Jewelry from normal monsters has been slightly increased. Although this is a minor change, boss monsters remain the best option for farming jewelry.
  • The drop rate of Corrupt Orbs from normal monsters has been increased by 30-40%.
  • The defense of Fist Warrior, Blue Mage, and Red Mage boss monsters has been reduced.
    • This adjustment was made because archers and blade warriors were significantly outperforming other classes, especially blue mages.
    • All classes should now be able to solo the bosses within 3 to 4.5 minutes, depending primarily on their equipment and class.

 

Party Changes

  • Party members are now notified whenever the designated player for the next drop in the Round Robin loot mode changes.
  • Party system messages will now appear in orange text.
  • If a party member is out of range of all other party members, items will now automatically drop in "Last Hit" mode, even if Random or Round Robin modes are selected.
    • This resolves confusion that occurred when party members killed bosses solo, causing others to be skipped in the Round Robin drop sequence.
