Item

Updated the stats for Dawn Crystal items as follows.

The "defense meta" in PvP has been one of the most talked-about topics among Adventurers, with a lot of feedback over time. At the last Calpheon Ball, we announced that changes were coming to address this meta. Since then, we have run extensive internal tests and reviews, and our findings show that rebalancing the stats of the Dawn Crystals is the best path forward.
 
The main reason the defense meta has stayed so strong is that Dawn Crystal - Damage Reduction increases your displayed DP. Combined with bonus DP stats, this has given the build extremely high defensive efficiency. As a result, once Adventurers reached enough AP to secure kills, they often focused the rest of their gear on the highly efficient Dawn Crystal - Damage Reduction, achieving both high AP and high DP in what is widely called the "balance build."
 
This created an unfair situation: Adventurers running attack-focused builds struggled to take down those with balance builds, while balance builds could often defeat attack builds in a single skill combo. To resolve this, we have changed how Dawn Crystal - Damage Reduction works. Its effect will now only grant All Damage Reduction stats, no longer affecting displayed AP or DP. We considered adjusting the bonus AP and DP stats as well, but for now, we believe this change to the Dawn Crystal will address the main issue.
 
However, only making this change could make attack-focused builds too dominant. For this reason, we have also rebalanced Evasion and Accuracy stats to provide clear synergy and counterplay between builds. By tuning the stats on Dawn Crystal - Evasion and Dawn Crystal - Accuracy, attack-focused builds will now have a harder time dealing damage to Evasion-based builds, but Accuracy-focused builds will be better at landing hits and dealing more damage.
 
Since this update will have a big impact on PvP, we will keep monitoring and making adjustments after it is applied to the live servers to ensure a better PvP environment. Thank you.

World Boss Improvements

Some World Bosses used to enter "invincible phases" during subjugation, making them temporarily immune to attacks. We found that these phases disrupt the flow of combat and drag out battles unnecessarily, so we've now removed invincible phases from certain World Bosses.
Following the recent World Boss reward rework, more Adventurers have been joining the fight in the Land of the Morning Light. However, since some bosses were being taken down so quickly, some participants missed the fight entirely. To fix this, we've increased the HP of these bosses so everyone has a fair shot at joining the battle.
  • Applied the following change to allow more Adventurers to participate in the Land of the Morning Light World Boss subjugations:
    • Bulgasal, Uturi, Sangoon, and Golden Pig King HP increased by 1.5x.
 
  • Moved the resurrection spot for World Boss Sangoon closer to the Tiger Palace.
 

 
  • Adjusted some patterns during certain World Boss subjugations where the boss could not be attacked:
World Boss Kzarka
Removed the Invincible effect from the pattern where Kzarka was temporarily untargetable.
(Instead, added Damage Reduction Rate Increase during that pattern to prevent Kzarka from being defeated too quickly.)
World Boss Bulgasal, Uturi
Changed so you can now attack them immediately upon their appearance.
(Their spawn animations remain the same, but Damage Reduction Rate Increase is applied instead of the Invincible effect.)

 

Black Shrine Balance Adjustments

  • Adjusted the difficulty for Gumiho, Golden Pig King, and Sangoon in the Black Shrine - Donghae (Solo).
Gumiho
Removed Knockback from Gumiho's attacks.
Decreased the damage of the enhanced dash attack in Calamity 10.
Golden Pig King
Changed the Guard Crush effect on the final hit of the consecutive jump attack to Knockdown in Calamity 8-10.
(This change was made to help you more easily trigger the pattern that knocks down the Golden Pig King.)
Sangoon
Reduced the damage of Sangoon’s biting attack by about 35% in Calamity 1–7.

 

Kamasylvia Hunting Improvements

  • Fixed the issue where [Wild] Feather Wolf and [Wild] Phnyl would move abnormally during combat.
  • Reduced the damage dealt by [Wild] Feather Wolf and [Wild] Phnyl by about 18%.

Node & Conquest War

Blue Battlefield Ship Balance Adjustments 

Today, we're introducing several balance changes for the Blue Battlefield.
 
The Blue Battlefield is a guild-based PvP mode where the Guild Galley has essentially become the key to victory. Although we've made previous adjustments to balance the Guild Galley and other ships, normal ships still had trouble dealing meaningful damage to the Guild Galley. To promote more varied ship choices and tactics, we've increased the damage that normal ships can do to the Guild Galley.
 
We've also boosted the damage that normal ships deal to forts to help them play a bigger role in fort destruction. However, since this could cause forts to fall too fast, we've made fort durability adjustments to keep things fair.
 
We also received a lot of feedback about the speed of the Epheria Carrack: Volante in the Blue Battlefield. After reviewing its performance and our data, we've decided to slightly reduce its speed to balance things out.
 
We'll keep listening to your feedback and continue refining the Blue Battlefield to make sure it's fun for everyone. Thank you.
  • Increased Blue Battlefield Fort Durability by 25%.
 
  • Increased damage dealt to Blue Battlefield Forts by the following ships:
    • Panokseon: +52.0%
    • Epheria Carrack: +52.0%
    • Epheria Galleon: +870.0%
      • For Epheria Galleon, this change addresses an issue where its fort damage was significantly lower than intended. In practice, it will now deal 1.16x the damage of Epheria Carrack when attacking a Blue Battlefield Fort.
 
  • Adjusted damage dealt by the following ships against Improved Galleys and Galleys:
    • Panokseon: +22.8%
    • Epheria Carrack: +22.8%
    • Epheria Galleon: +29.1%
 
  • Adjusted the Movement Speed reduction for Epheria Carrack: Volante during the Blue Battlefield:
    • Before: -15%
    • After: -20%
* All other ships except Epheria Carrack: Volante will maintain the existing 30% speed reduction.
 

 

Blue Battlefield Reward Upgrade

To make your ongoing participation in the Blue Battlefield more rewarding, we're improving its rewards.
 
First, we'll be adding a new unified currency: Wavelit Crystal. Like the Medal of Glory from Node and Conquest Wars, you'll collect this currency simply by participating. You'll be able to exchange Wavelit Crystals for various items that support both Sailing and general adventure.
 
Guild Fund rewards are also getting a boost, letting you and your guildmates better share in the excitement of victory. Personal rewards will more than double, so you'll receive much larger payouts for your efforts.
  • Updated rewards for participating in and winning the Blue Battlefield.
    • Guild Funds (tax) earned upon successfully occupying a fort have been increased by up to 2x.
