Adventurer Progression Log Revamp
Developer Commentary
Adventurer Progression Log is designed as a guide to introduce various means to boost CP for new and returning Adventurers.
With this update, we added new quests to the Adventurer Progression Log to provide Adventurers with essential rewards, and revamped the rewards for existing quests by increasing their quantities, further accelerating character growth.
First, six new quests will grant Adventurers Powerful Magical Black Stones. This item is used for Awakened Enhancement, and using this item guarantees a 100% success rate when enhancing their gear from +6 to +7.
Adventurers can obtain Pure Magical Black Stones from the ongoing event "Gear Enhancement for Rookie Adventurers!",
which can be used for Awakened Enhancement, enhancing their gear from +5 to +6. Equipping the +6 gear then completes the quests to obtain Powerful Magical Black Stones.
Additionally, we added quests that grant Knowledge EXP Scrolls as rewards and adjusted the quantity of rewards that are crucial to character growth.
Adventurers can now obtain more Black Shrine Entry Passes, Embers of Hongik, and Voidsent Eyes from these quests and will be able to obtain Eternal-grade equipment much sooner.
We will continue to improve the game system to ensure a stable growth for both new and returning Adventurers.
- Added new quests for the [Gear] and [Stories] tabs in Adventurer Progression Log.
ㆍObtain the following items upon completing the quests.
| Tabs | Quests | Input |
|---|---|---|
| Gear | Main Weapon Awakened Enhancement I |
- Equip a +6 or higher Chaos Main Weapon
|
| Armor Awakened Enhancement I |
- Equip a +6 or higher Chaos Armor
|
|
| Helmet Awakened Enhancement I |
- Equip a +6 or higher Chaos Helmet
|
|
| Gloves Awakened Enhancement I |
- Equip a +6 or higher Chaos Gloves
|
|
| Shoes Awakened Enhancement I |
- Equip a +6 or higher Chaos Shoes
|
|
| Sub-Weapon Awakened Enhancement I |
- Equip a +6 or higher Chaos Sub-Weapon
|
|
| Stories | Alyaelli's Rift I |
- Alyaelli's Rift Boss Rush x1
|
| Alyaelli's Rift II |
- Alyaelli's Rift Boss Rush x5
|
|
| Alyaelli's Rift III |
- Alyaelli's Rift Boss Rush x10
|
* Gear Awakened Enhancement I can be completed upon equipping +6 or higher gear with chaos-grade or higher.
However, Umbral Chaos Gear (Severing/Eidolic) does not qualify for the quest.
- Use a Powerful Magical Black Stone to attempt an Awakened Enhancement on +6 Chaos/Eternal-grade gear to obtain +7 Chaos/Eternal-grade gear with a 100% success rate.
- Revamped the rewards for certain quests in Adventurer Progression Log.
ㆍPlease refer to the following link for details on the revamped rewards.
- Changed the number of quest count increased upon using the item "Adventurer Progression Log Quest Ticket" (3 → 5).
ㆍUnused quest counts can stack up to 15 (3 days).
- Adventurers who have completed the Adventurer Progression Log quests will receive the increased rewards for the completed quests through their in-game mailbox.
Target Lock
Developer Commentary
Target Lock aids Adventurers by locking their attacks onto the desired target during heated battle.
This feature is especially crucial against Bosses such as Kvariak and Bulgasal, where Adventurers have to fight against both the Boss and other Adventurers.
Adventurers who have set this feature to [All] had to manually target moving Bosses mid-combat,
while Adventurers who have set this feature to [Adventurer] had to change the setting beforehand, or the target lock would not lock onto Bosses when there are other Adventurers around.
To address these inconveniences, the [Target Lock on Hold] feature now allows Adventurers to lock their attacks onto high-rank Monsters such as Elite Monsters or Bosses under any circumstances.
With this feature activated, Adventurers can hold the target lock button next to the skill buttons
and set their target lock onto high-rank monsters, whether their Target Lock setting is set to [All] or [Adventurer].
We hope this update will allow Adventurers to further tailor the target lock feature to their unique playstyle.
- Added a feature to prioritize Monsters when holding the target lock button at [Menu] - [Settings] - [Convenience] - [Target Lock].
ㆍTarget lock will prioritize Monsters with higher rank (Bosses, elites, etc.) and lock attacks onto the target when held.
※ This feature will prioritize Monsters over Adventurers even if Target Lock is set to [Adventurer].
- Added a shortcut key to activate [Target Lock on Hold (Prioritize Monsters)].
ㆍPress the corresponding keys on your keyboard (or buttons on your joystick) to activate the feature.
| Devices | Input |
|---|---|
| Keyboard | Left shift + U Left shift + Num7 |
| Gamepad | Press both joysticks simultaneously |
Co-op Rush: Deposed Crown Prince
- Added a minimap to Geunjeongjeon Royal Court.
ㆍDeposed Crown Prince, Mooncast Shadows, and Split Moons will be displayed on the minimap.
ㆍThe minimap will display pings when used.
Hidden Outer Castle
- Added a notification to display the guild and Family name of the Adventurer who dealt the fatal blow when the Outer Castle Guard Captain is defeated in Hidden Outer Castle.
Pets
- Changed the Pet Special Skill "Increase Field Silver Drop Rate" to "Extra Damage to Monsters."
| Before | After |
|---|---|
| Field Silver Drop Rate + 9% | Extra Damage to Monsters +15% |
| Field Silver Drop Rate + 11% | Extra Damage to Monsters +17% |
| Field Silver Drop Rate + 13% | Extra Damage to Monsters +19% |
| Field Silver Drop Rate + 15% | Extra Damage to Monsters +21% |
| Field Silver Drop Rate + 17% | Extra Damage to Monsters +23% |
