Patch Notes [Version 91]
Release Date: 13 February 2025
Adventurers,
This maintenance brings a dual combo of Gardion release and the Valentine Event! There will be changes across the board. Read below for more information. Happy Valentine's Day and good luck hunting!
New Additions
Valentine Event! Starts February 13th, 2025 and ends on March 6th, 2025. All event items will be removed at the end of the event.
Valentine Event is here but can you feel the love? Strangely there seems to be malice everywhere born from the inhabitants of Ares. How did this happen? Fight back against the malice to reclaim the love in the people's hearts! Speak to Katrina in Etana to get started.
Valentine Event Store accessible from Katrina.
[TITLE] Hero of Love: Increases Experience and Gold by 10%
Cupids Pass: Grants access to Battlefield of Love
Chocolate L: Increases Health by 200 for 15 minutes
Chocolate O: Increases Mana by 200 for 15 minutes
Chocolate V: Increases Weight by 200 for 15 Minutes
Chocolate E: Increases Attack Speed by 1 for 15 Minutes.
Lo! The first God appears to the players! Cupid has descended to measure your skills against the malice. He also knows the origin of this ancient malice threat. Cupid will show you where to find the Camp of Malice. Once inside you will find the area teeming with Malice and the Summoner of Malice, Kunzan. Defeating Kunzan will give chances at finding your Red Love mask! Defenders of Love wear red and come with some small stat perks. Kunzan respawns every 2 minutes.
Cupid's Challenge is available as an optional Valentine Boss. Prove yourself against the meager power he has challenged you with and earn a new event item, Cupids Certificate along with Elixir of Legacy drop chances. It is highly recommended to bring a party to help manage this fight. Sharing is caring! Cupid will respawn every hour.
Top of Gardion has been unleased but to get there you must be level 135 and complete a quest from Mountain Explorer Zack in Kharon.
Elite Dungeons make their way to Gardion! Speak with Mountain Explorer, Zack to enter!
(ELITE) Gardion Upper Path is the first floor. The majority of the map is designed for smaller parties. There are sections that may get intense!
(ELITE) Gardion Lower Path is the second floor. This map is designed for complete chaos. Be prepared to know your role, keep moving forward, and don't get spawned on!
Graced items will be exclusive to [PRIME] or [ELITE] monsters.
Max Stat items are now yours to farm at the Top of Gardion! 19s, 40s, 30/20s oh me oh my! This is the first revision to drop tables. These stats are enabled only on Grace items. Keep any elevated optimism you have within reason though as these will still be rare drops. Good luck Hunting!

Elites have seen a revamp. Their offensive power remains at a high level, but they have reduced defensive capabilities such as HP being drastically lowered.
