New Class: Seraph
Developer Commentary
Darkness descends where the light shines.
"Seraph," a sanctified sentinel, unleashes the primal sacred power of both darkness and light.
Seraph wields "Sacramentum," a greatsword imbued with the Primal Sacred Power, and unleashes that power in the form of either darkness or light.
Under Lux Exsoluta (light), her combat style shifts toward precise slashes and swift combos, taking control of the entire battlefield.
Her skill combos become much faster under Lux Exsoluta.
Combining this with movement skills will deliver a thrilling sense of speed and dazzling combos.
On the other hand, Nox Exsoluta (darkness) unleashes foreboding blows with enhanced attack range.
Powerful areal attacks and final blows can effectively break through enemy formations, bringing battles to an end with formidable presence.
We invite Adventurers to embark on a new journey with Seraph and experience a whole new combat style transcending darkness and light.

New Winter Season
New Winter Season
Developer Commentary
The New Winter Season has begun.
A powerful Mega Growth Boost event for new and returning Adventurers has been added in this New Winter Season.
The previous Mega Growth Boost buff granted a "Field Combat EXP +500%" buff in hunting zones except open world regions.
However, the Mega Growth Boost buff in the New Winter Season will cover all hunting zones and Black Spirit Mode, granting both "Field Combat EXP +500%" and "Field Item Drop Rate +100%" effects.
Additionally, while the previous Mega Growth Boost buff would wear off when the character completes the season or reached Lv 80,
the buff will last for 30 days regardless of character level or season completion in this season, greatly boosting the character growth of new and returning Adventurers even after season completion.
The Secrua Crystals, as announced in previous notices, have been reset to Mystical Grade.
The Crystal can be re-upgraded to Eternal grade in this season as well,
with a new effect, "Field Combat EXP Boost," added to the existing "Field Item Drop Rate Up" effect.

ㆍAdventurers of Rank 2 or lower will now obtain more Chaos Cores, Sealed Charms of Succession, and Sun Crystals upon defeating Turaka.
World Boss
Developer Commentary
Damages inflicted to World Bosses have been adjusted so that only a percentage of skill damage is actually inflicted to the Boss to prevent it from being defeated too quickly.
However, skills with more hits benefited from this adjustment when computing the damage rankings in the same way.
With this update, to improve on this discrepancy between the actual skill damage and rankings, while World Bosses still take a percentage of the actual skill damage,
damage rankings will now reflect the actual skill damage. Due to this change, damage multipliers against World Bosses for all classes will also be adjusted.
We hope the new rankings computation system will reflect Adventurers' progress more accurately.
- Changed how inflicted damage rankings for World Bosses are computed.
ㆍBefore: rankings were computed based on a percentage of skill damage inflicted
ㆍAfter: rankings are computed based on the actual skill damage inflicted
- Adjusted the damage multiplier against World Bosses for all classes with the change in rankings computation:
