Succession Hashashin is an assassin class that specializes in using Floating and Air Attacks.

Item
- Added mention about recurring quests to the item description for Trace of Thunderbolt.
- Changed Group Enhancement to allow all four types of Edana’s Defense Gear to be enhanced together.
Monster
In the recently released Edania monster zones, we tuned the status effects monsters inflict so Adventurers can set up their resistances more easily. Previously, older monster zones featured a wide variety of CC effects, which made resistance setup tricky. It was also difficult to figure out what to prepare for until you’d actually fought the monsters there.
- Adjusted the CC effects inflicted by monsters in each monster zone so that they can be countered with a single CC Resistance group.
- CC Resistance Groups
- Knockdown / Bound
- Stun / Stiffness / freeze
- Knockback / Floating
- CC Resistance Groups
| Monster Zone (Example) | Before | After |
| Dokkebi Forest | Knockdown / Stun / Stiffness | Stun / Stiffness |
| [Dehkia's Lantern II] Olun's Valley | Knockdown / Bound / Stun | Knockdown / Bound |
| [Dehkia's Lantern] Thornwood Forest | Knockdown / Bound / Stun / Knockback / Floating | Knockback / Floating |
- Improved Monster Zone Info so zones outside Edania also show which CC effects monsters inflict.

- Changed Solaria in the Pit of the Undying to no longer chase her targets too far.
- Improved the Aetherion Castle monster zone so after Muraka spawns via the reward mechanic, a message now appears if the defeat time limit expires and he disappears.
- Shortened the distance [Ancient] Remnants of the Seer chase adventurers during combat in the Tenebraum Castle monster zone.
- Reduced by half the distance required to check if there are 2 or more [Ancient] Remnants of the Seer near Cartian's Altar in the Tenebraum Castle monster zone.
Quest & Knowledge
The Abyssal Wells allow you to move your character to other territories, and they become even more convenient to use once you've completed the "[The Magnus] Morning's Breeze" quest—you can then interact with the well from outside to access its features more easily.
- Added a quest reward item containing a description of the Magnus Comms Device to the quest rewards for "[The Magnus] Morning's Breeze".
- The "Magnus Comms Pass" item is automatically used immediately upon acquisition.
| Quest Name | Item |
| [The Magnus] Morning's Breeze |
![]() Magnus Comms Pass

- [Weekly] Purify Nymphamaré
- [Weekly] Purify Orbita
- [Weekly] Purify Tenebraum
- Example: After finishing stage 3, [Weekly] For the Throne: Orbita, you can now accept the stage 4 Purification quest for Tenebraum.
① Aetherion → ② Nymphamaré → ③ Orbita → ④ Tenebraum → ⑤ Zephyros
Edania Sub-quests
- Added the story of apprentice knight Oara, who set out on a journey to Orbita to become the King of Edana.
- Added a quest where you assist the Humming Knight on his travels.
Mount
Horses have always been an adventurer’s loyal companion and primary means of travel, with each new mount tier offering increased movement speed. However, as mounts have gotten quicker, they’ve often had trouble navigating around obstacles or walls while auto-running, especially in areas that require sharp turns. This has made traveling less convenient than it should be.
- Improved the turning speed during auto-run (T) on the following mounts, allowing for quicker turns.
- Horse auto-run turning speed increased by 3x.
- Camel, Miniature Elephant, and donkey auto-run turning speed increased by 2x.
- Alpaca auto-run turning speed increased by 1.5x.
