Patch Notes: September 18, 2026

◆New Content

Torment

• Torment of Miner's Steppe is now open and available
  • It will drop a new series of Gaia emblems. (Rate is 0.7%)

◆General Changes and Fixes

Drop Changes

• Updated drop tables for Dimensional Hall
  • Removed all trash loot
  • Every boss only has a 100 LP coupon
    • This change is to help mitigate potential "bad" rolls from paragon table
  • Every boss now drops 3 Healing Pots (NT) as an extra drop at 100% chance

Game Changes

• Fixed bug that was causing Damage Taken buffs and debuffs to not function as intended
  • This resulted in specific contents to not be balanced correctly. You will find some content to be significantly easier than before, like AT and GG Torments. Aqua Dragon Purgatory was also suffering from this bug causing bosses inside to be significantly tankier than other purgatories.
  • This change will also fix classes that inflict specifically "Damage Taken +X%" like Sorc, and will cause their support potential to be significantly better

Misc Changes

• Made costume boxes sellable for 50 silver each
• 24 Hour EXP Crystal, Emblem boxes, and 1 day VIP Sprite can now be stored in shared warehouse
• Updated all Purgatory Enchant Cards
  • Increased Elemental Skill Damage from 20% to 30%
  • Increase damage against Element from 20% to 30%
  • Increase CRIT Dmg of elemental skill from 20% to 30%
• Updated all Purgatory Oathbounds
  • Increased Elemental Skill Damage from 30% to 35%
  • Added 30% Damage to Attribute effect for the respective pet

Combat & Skills

• Dying to a damage-over-time effect no longer leaves you stuck
  • Your health bar kept showing the last value it was told, so the death screen never appeared and you could not press revive, while everything you tried answered "You can't use this while dead"
• All damage-over-time and heal-over-time effects now keep your health bar in sync as they tick
  • Bosses that are meant to be invulnerable can no longer be killed through it
  • Damage-over-time skills ignored scripted immunity entirely, so a boss could be burned down during a phase where normal hits correctly read 0, killing them early softlocked the quest
• Effects that increase or reduce the damage you take now actually change the damage
• Soul Infusion self-buffs no longer depend on an enemy surviving your hit, team heals and one-shot kills skipped the buff entirely
• Fishing Equipment set bonuses are cumulative again, completing a set used to drop the smaller bonus you already had instead of adding to it
• Levitation and float effects hold you up for their full duration, this is what made the BB sections a pain
• Enemy AI is more consistent: phase changes re-checked every tick, enemies react to being hit, target swaps no longer reset behaviour, and they recover when you run out of range

Enemies & World

• Dying in Fight Club no longer hands you your normal class skills back
  • 51 areas lost their zone rules on death this way, 18 of which replace your skill bar

Surtur's Vitality Bomb resets between meteors: the charge climbed from 1 to 18 across two rounds, so every cast landed at maximum damage no matter how fast you killed the fairies

• Abyss wave chains are reliable again, waves not spawning and the orb not activating were leftovers from a previous run firing into yours; abyss messages will also stop reaching you back in Navea
• Ifrit spawns properly in the Infernal Abyss, a ground effect left behind on one floor was reaching the boss on the next floor, at the identical spot in the repeated room layout, and killing it the moment it appeared
• Reviving where your map has no respawn point no longer drops you at meaningless coordinates on the wrong map

Quests & NPCs

• NPC dialogue options now respect the quest you are actually on
• Options meaning "only while you are on this quest" were shown to everyone, so you could walk into a scripted sequence before taking the quest and find the exit never triggers

Loot & Rewards

• Archive ranks grant their stats properly past lvl85
  • Archive rank is now worked out from your points on every read: a rank that had drifted stayed wrong forever, and relogging never fixed it

Items, Storage & Crafting

• Eidolon accessories can be salvaged
• Mail can be deleted, mail holding an attachment, gold or COD is refused rather than destroyed
• Mounts equipped on gear tabs 2 and 3 can be ridden: also explains the instant dismount when a mount sat on two tabs
• Transferring currency no longer claims the target "needs to be level 1"

Eidolons

• Eidolons no longer stop using their skills mid-fight, one whose only unused skill was on a long cooldown locked itself out of everything else until that skill returned, and stayed that way for the rest of the session (Rapunzel hit this every rotation)
• Your eidolon skill bar no longer falls back to another eidolon's skills after a zone transfer

Social

• Guild rentals no longer sit on "Contracted" after they expire
• The greeting you send is the one that gets shown, instead of the other player's

Cosmetics

• Added the following Custom Head cosmetics for Shota:
  • Merlin
  • Bahamut
  • Drifter Hairstyle
  • Ravager Short Hair
  • Uriel
  • Dual-Color Kitty Ears
  • Hades
  • Chic Ranger Ponytail

  • Lilith
  • Dual-Color Kitty Ears
• Added the following Custom Body cosmetics for Loli:
  • Lilith

◆Class Changes

Duelist

Developers Notes: The left spec on duelist was supposed to be holy, but due to the amount of people already physical on it, we've decided to keep it as physical and keep its gameplay style of popping both Crimson Blossom and Balisong Flurry. For the right spec, we've decided to completely change it and make it Holy. A good chunk of your damage now comes from DOTs as we've made a new scaling for them. This was only possible due to Lynn's work on completely revamping the text and icons of the spec. - shiro

Crusader

Developers' Note: Crusader's RNG aspects were extremely unfun as a concept. When you won the coin flips on resets it was very fun but when you lost, which was a majority of the time, you barely got to feel class identity. These changes will make you more in control of your bursts, and what spells you do or don't press. This also removes the linearity so in some contexts Crusader players will feel more comfortable pressing buttons for utility than just the normal DPS buttons. - yuji

Gunslinger

Developers' Notes: Gunslinger today is a far cry from its glory day's at launch. It was originally our benchmark to bring other classes up to, but as we have reworked more classes, Gunslinger fell to the wayside. Functionally it plays great and is fun, but it was just undertuned. This should serve to strengthen both specs' single target damage, while limiting storm's almost infinite scaling with more targets. - Yuji
