Nightmare Improvements
Developer Commentary
With this update, Noble Tear of the Goddess and Tear of the Goddess can now be obtained from Nightmare: Sunken Ruins, providing Adventurers with resources needed for continued progression.
We have also replaced the Primal Lightstones obtained by defeating monsters with Holy Vials of Light, removing the additional step of converting the Lightstones into Holy Vials of Light.
We also expanded certain outlying areas to create a better combat environment.
Monster groups in Sunken Ruins were positioned relatively close together compared to those in other Nightmare zones. We have therefore opened previously inaccessible areas along the outskirts, expanding the zone and spacing out monster groups to provide a smoother hunting experience.
Lastly, the Nightmare rotation schedule will change starting in November.
Tshira, Jade Starlight Forest, and Sunken Ruins will rotate at 00:00 on the first Monday of each month, aligning the rotation with the weekly reset of the Dreamward Lantern purchase limit.
We hope this information helps Adventurers prepare for these changes and make the most of the content.
