Upheaval

• Improved controls when moving left while idle.

Recently, we've updated the system so you can now use Energy with the Black Spirit to gain a Life EXP buff. With this change, we've also lowered the level requirement, making it easier for adventurers who enjoy Life Skill content on lower-level characters to benefit from this buff.

• Changed the level requirement for Energy Burn to obtain buffs in Black Spirit (,) - Exchange: Lv. 50 or above → Lv. 35 or above

Item

Looking ahead, when the Sovereign sub-weapon and Edana's Defense Gear are introduced, adventurers will see a significant boost to their Damage Reduction and Evasion stats.

To maintain PvP balance, we believe it's also necessary to increase AP and Accuracy to some degree.

Even after the new gear goes live, we'll keep a close eye on the overall balance and make further adjustments as needed.

• Adjusted the displayed AP increase upon enhancing Sovereign main and awakening weapons to PEN (V), HEX (VI), or SEP (VII): +1 → +2.
  • Accordingly, the displayed AP of Sovereign main and awakening weapons at OCT (VIII), NOV (IX), and DEC (X) has also been increased by 3.

Enhancement Level	Before	After
PEN (V)
HEX (VI)
SEP (VII)

 

• Adjusted so that you get an additional AP +3 when reforming Sovereign main and awakening weapons with the Inverted Heart of Garmoth.
  
  • When the Edania region is added, Sovereign main weapon reformed with the Inverted Heart of Garmoth will gain an extra Accuracy +50.

 

• Added the function to reform Sovereign main weapon using the Inverted Heart of Garmoth. Only Sovereign main weapon is eligible for this reform; other main weapons cannot be reformed.

 

• Improved the item descriptions for Inverted Heart of Garmoth, Heart of Karanda, and Heart of Kutum.

After

•  

Garmoth's Heart / Inverted Heart of Garmoth

With today's update, the uses and effects of Garmoth's Heart have been expanded.

Since demand is expected to rise, we've increased the drop rate of Garmoth's Bloodstone so adventurers can obtain Garmoth's Heart more easily.

 

In addition, a new Challenge (Y) has been added, allowing you to obtain an Inverted Heart of Garmoth once per Family for a limited time.

We hope this makes acquiring Garmoth's Heart less of a burden and helps you enjoy your adventure even more.

• Increased the chance to get Garmoth's Bloodstone by 2.3 times when opening the Garmoth's Roaring Reward Bundle from the weekly Crimson Dragon Garmoth world boss quests.
  
  • Note: Bundles obtained before this update will keep the original drop rate for Garmoth's Bloodstone.
  • Also, when defeating Crimson Dragon Garmoth, the top 5 and top 20 contributors on the server can obtain Garmoth's Bloodstone as loot at a set probability.

 

• Added a new challenge to earn the Inverted Heart of Garmoth.
  
  • Challenge period: July 10, 2025 (Thu) (after maintenance ) - Nov 27, 2025 (Thu) (before maintenance)
  • Complete all of the following during the event to claim the Inverted Heart of Garmoth from Challenge (Y) with a character at Lv. 61 or higher:
    
    • Play for a total of 200 hours
    • Have the [Knowledge] Wuju
    • [Knowledge] Wuju can be obtained by completing Abyss One: The Magnus main quest "[The Magnus] Wuju's Gift...?"

1. You can check your Family's total playtime in the Basic tab of My Information (P).


2. To start the "[The Magnus] Wuju's Gift...?" quest for [Knowledge] Wuju, you'll need to complete these quests first: 
[The Magnus] Greetings 
[The Magnus: Special Gift] Traveler at Velia Duel Arena 
 
* Only characters who've completed both quests can start "[The Magnus] Wuju's Gift...?"

Klau's Old Moon Seed Pouch

We've added Klau's Old Moon Seed Pouch, which lets you store all your seeds in one place.

While our end goal is to let you stack seeds right in your inventory, that's going to take a while. So, we put this together to make things a bit easier for you in the meantime.

If you've spent any time Farming, you'll have no trouble getting your hands on one. We hope it comes in handy for all you adventurers out there.

• You can store up to 50 seeds in Klau's Old Moon Seed Pouch.
  
  • To plant seeds stored in the pouch, move them to your inventory first, then use them in a Fence.
• The quest to obtain Klau's Old Moon Seed Pouch can only be completed once per Family.

Klau's Old Moon Seed Pouch
How to Obain	Reward
If you're Farming Skilled 1 or higher, accept and complete the "[Farming] Klau's Old Moon Seed Pouch" quest from the Black Spirit.   ※ Make sure to set your Quest Type to "All" at the bottom of the Quests (O) window to see this quest.

• Adjusted boss monsters in Atoraxxion: Vahmalkea, Sycrakea, and Yolunakea to always drop the following daggers:
  
  • Corrupt Yolun Dagger, [Elvia] Corrupt Yolun Dagger
  • Voidlight Dagger, [Elvia] Voidlight Dagger
  • Lucretia Dagger, [Elvia] Lucretia Dagger
    
    • As a result, dagger items can no longer be obtained from weekly quests.

• Changed the objectives for New Adventurer Support Funds Challenge (Y).
• The changes below will apply to Families logging in for the first time after the July 10 (Thu) maintenance. Families who logged in before this date can still claim the support funds via the previous challenges.

• Added a function that allows you to conveniently use Energy from other Family characters when performing the following actions:
  - Hire Worker

- Patrigio's Secret Shop

• Improved so that the currently online character is displayed at the top of the character Energy list.
