New Additions and Improvements
Main, Succession

- Changed the cooldown: 15 sec → 9 sec

- Changed the motion speed of the skill.

- The last attack motion speed remains same as before.
Main, Succession
- Removed the cooldown of the skill, which can be comboed from Air Strike.
Succession Hashashin is an assassin class that specializes in using Floating and Air Attacks. While he may be at a disadvantage when it comes to CC effects other than Floating, as well as Stamina management during combat entry and exit, he has a unique talent for dealing damage quickly through Floating and Air Attacks—faster than other classes that rely on Knockdown.
However, to ensure these strengths don’t lead to enemies being defeated too quickly, we’ve adjusted the PvP damage of certain skills. Now, after landing the initial attack, he will need to follow up with additional CC and attacks to secure a kill.
Additionally, in close-quarters fights with Hashashin, we’ve made it easier to recognize the direction of his approach and movement.
Main, Succession
- (Prime) Changed the cooldown: 2 sec → 3 sec
- Changed so that when your character disappears in the direction of movement, your character's vanishing animation now briefly remains visible.

Greetings, Adventurers.
We’d like to share an update on the schedules for the Alchemy Stone system overhaul and the My Attendant (formerly Main Maid) feature, which were previously announced at the last Heidel Ball.
First, regarding the Alchemy Stone system overhaul: After careful consideration, we’ve decided to postpone this update. With many new items added alongside the Edania update, we felt that adding another complex feature like the Alchemy Stone overhaul right now might be overwhelming. We’ll reschedule this update for a later date and will share more details as soon as possible.
As for the My Attendant feature, our top priority at the moment is ensuring the stability of the live servers. Because of this, we’ve decided to delay the My Attendant update until October. We apologize for bringing news of schedule adjustments for these two updates, and we ask for your kind understanding, as these decisions were made in the interest of a better overall experience.
Thank you for your continued support.
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.
To help make resistance setup more straightforward and intuitive, we standardized the types of CC effects monsters use in each zone. Additionally, we added new information to the Monster Zone Info UI so you can see in advance which types of CC you'll need to prepare for in each area.
- 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.
For adventurers who haven’t completed this quest yet, we’ve added a reward item with a detailed description to the Quests window, so you can more easily learn how the Abyssal Well works and what to expect when you finish the quest.
- 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
|
- Improved so that completing a weekly Boss subjugation quest now also unlocks the next stage's Purification quest.
- Example: After finishing stage 3, [Weekly] For the Throne: Orbita, you can now accept the stage 4 Purification quest for Tenebraum.
- [Weekly] Purify Aetherion
- [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.
* Edania Monster Zone stage progression
① Aetherion → ② Nymphamaré → ③ Orbita → ④ Tenebraum → ⑤ Zephyros
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.
To fix this, we’ve enhanced how mounts handle corners during auto-run, making their movement smoother and more reliable.
- 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.

- Improved the camera position set with directional arrows and "Adjust Camera (View)" (formerly "Adjust Perspective") in Edit UI to be saved locally (on your PC, etc.).
- You can reset the adjusted view by pressing the + button on the left side of the screen via Menu (ESC) → Edit UI → Adjust Camera (View).
- You can also reset the view via a hotkey by setting a shortcut in Menu (ESC) → Settings → Hotkey & Input Settings → Misc. Hotkeys → Reset Camera.
