Character Changes
The amount of experience points reduced upon player character death has been changed. The amount is unchanged for levels 1-75. After level 76, the amount will be reduced as the character's level increases.
When a chaotic character dies, their chance of incurring the penalty for death has been greatly increased.
The value of the penalty for death (reduced combat capability) has been increased.
Weapon Augmentation
A weapon augmentation system has been added to enable players to add new bonuses to their weapons with the help of a Blacksmith. A Life Stone and Gemstones will be required for each augmentation. You can augment weapons through the Blacksmith NPC of every village, except in the starting villages for each race and Gludin Village.
All weapons that are C Grade through S Grade can be augmented. C Grade and B Grade weapons require Gemstone D, and A Grade and S Grade weapons need Gemstone C.
Life Stones can be acquired from hunting monsters. There is a higher chance of obtaining a high-level Life Stone from raid/boss monster rather than from an ordinary monster. A Life Stone shows the level of the character who can use it.
For the augmentation order, select the weapon to be augmented, the Life Stone, and Gemstones in the Augment window. Drag and drop the items from the inventory to add them to the Augment window. Click the Augment button.
Blacksmith NPCs can also remove augmentations, and a fee is assessed during the process.
The bonus granted during augmentation is random, determined by the levels of the Life Stone and the weapon. The success rate is 100%.
The types of bonuses are as follows:
* Increased basic abilities (STR, CON, INT, MEN)
* Increased battle values (P. Atk., P. Def., M. Atk., Accuracy, etc.)
* Additional skill (Active, Passive, Chance skill)
The bonus will not take effect when the augmented weapon has a higher grade than the character’s expertise level.
When a weapon is augmented, a prefix will be added to the weapon name.
The augmented weapon cannot be exchanged, dropped, traded, sold, freighted, or deposited in the clan warehouse. However, private warehouse storage is possible. An item that has had its augmentation removed can be transferred normally.
Weapons with special abilities or an enchantment can be augmented. It is also possible to add a special ability or to enchant augmented items.
Even if you remove a weapon’s augmentation, the special ability or enchant status will not change.
When a bonus is added while augmenting with a Life Stone that is above mid-grade, the weapon will glow.
An augmented weapon cannot be used for crafting dual swords.
An augmented weapon cannot be used to trade with the Blacksmith of Mammon.

Swoop Cannon
Player characters who reach level 68 of the Warsmith class will gain access to the Swoop Cannon, a new siege summon. The Swoop Cannon is a siege servitor designed for attack. It cannot be used to defend. It is different from previous siege servitors in that it can use its skill without switching modes.
It can be summoned only within the Siege War Zone.
46 A Grade Crystals are required for the initial summoning. After it is summoned, B Grade Gemstones are continuously consumed at a rate of 21 per minute.
The Swoop Cannon’s attack goes in the direction it is facing, regardless of whether a target has been selected. Its ranged attack fires in a parabolic arc. All players and NPCs who are near where its shots land — allies, enemies and neutral parties alike — will incur damage. When a shot falls on an ordinary field (non-siege zone), battleground, or the border area of an ordinary field, it damages players on the ordinary field and it incurs a PK penalty.
Shots cannot damage castle walls, doors, or headquarters.
The Swoop Long Shot and Swoop Middle Shot skills cannot be used inside a castle, along the castle wall area, nor outside a battleground.
Flash Gunpowder is consumed during attack. Flash Gunpowder can be purchased in the Town of Schuttgart and Rune Township.
The Swoop Cannon disappears when it is defeated.
Castle-Owning Clan Skills
New skills have been added to a circlet that can be equipped by clan members who control a castle, and to a crown that can be equipped by a castle lord.
The Lord’s Crown can be obtained from the Chamberlain, and each castle’s circlet can be purchased from the Chamberlain. Also, Academy members have been changed so that they cannot equip a castle circlet.
Residential Shock Immunity: Greatly but temporarily increases resistance to shock attacks.
Clan Gate: Creates a gate for summoning clan members. The caster cannot move while the gate is in effect. The Clan Gate skill is located in the active skill window when the Lord’s Crown is equipped. When the lord’s skill is used, a summoning field is created near the lord, and the lord is put into an immobile state. At that time, a system message stating that a Gate has been created appears to all clan members who are logged on. For 2 minutes, clan members can speak with the Court Magician inside the castle and teleport to the lord’s location.
The skill is located in the active skill window when the item is equipped.
When ownership of the necessary castle is lost, the item automatically disappears and the skill is also lost.

Primeval Isle
The Primeval Isle, an island full of unknown creatures, has been added to the south of Rune Township. It can be reached by ferry from Rune Harbor, or by swimming.
The island is for hunting by the highest levels of players.
Players can take on monsters to increase the level of a Soul Crystal (stage 11 and 12), a clan reputation quest, and a quest to find a new ingredient for an A Grade Weapon. These new quests are described under Quests below.
The Boss Monster is a beast known as Sailren. In order to enter Sailren’s lair, you must take on the “Attack Sailren!” quest.
You can obtain Blue, Green and Red Primitive Crystals by hunting monsters. Primitive Crystals can be used to add 50,000, 100,000 or 200,000 points to your SP.
The Tyrannosaurus can go into a frenzy during battle. Use of the Trap skill during frenzy makes them easier for hunting. This is described below.
An NPC located at the Primeval Isle Wharf will revive a dead party member to your location for a fee. He can summon all of your dead party members.
Escaping from the Primeval Isle area will lead to the Primeval Isle Wharf.
The Primeval Isle Wharf area is a peaceful zone.
Trapping System
A trap skill that greatly decreases the attack strength of the Primeval Isle’s Tyrannosaurus has been added.
Use of this skill requires the Elrokian Trap and Capture Stones.
Once you complete the Elrokian Hunters quest, which begins near the Primeval Isle Wharf area, you can obtain the Elrokian Trap as a reward.
Capture Stones can be purchased from the NPC who is located on remote island south of the Primeval Isle. (If you accidentally delete the Trap that you obtained from the quest, you can purchase another one from the NPC.)
Items
A Grade top level weapons have been added. Level 12 Soul Crystals are needed to bestow a special ability on these weapons. You can obtain weapon components or recipes (60%) by taking on the Primeval Isle quests.
New hair accessories have been added: the Eye Patch, Angel Circlet, Demon Circlet, Pirate Hat, Scar, and Butterfly Hairpin. New hair accessories can be earned from the Festival of Darkness, Olympiad and certain raid bosses.
Certain items that cannot be traded or dropped can now be stored in a warehouse.
The Elixir of Mental Strength re-use delay has been decreased from 10 to 5 minutes.
The re-use delay is now the same for the Elixir of Mental Strength and Elixir of Life of the same grade. For instance, after using an A-Grade Elixir of Life, you cannot use an A Grade Elixir of Mental Strength or an A Grade Elixir of Life for 5 minutes.
When you register an elixir item in the shortcut window, the re-use delay mark will appear after its use.
Shadow Weapons
Temporary weapons with short lifespans have been added to increase access to varied weapons. A Shadow Weapon has the same abilities and appearance as an ordinary weapon, but it has a limited lifespan.
When a Shadow Weapon’s total duration or mana reaches 0, it will be removed from inventory and disappear.
The remaining duration or mana is consumed from the time the item is equipped, and the consumption ends when it is no longer equipped.
Warning: If the item is equipped and unequipped multiple times, the remaining duration or mana is consumed faster than normal. Logging in and out of the game with the weapon equipped will also decrease its duration.
As a short-term item, shadow weapons cannot be moved through trading, drop, or cargo, and it can only be stored in a private warehouse. Short-term items also cannot be enchanted, augmented, given a special ability or crystallized.
A weapon that is obtained by using a Shadow Weapon Exchange Coupon has a lower total duration or mana than a Shadow Weapon bought at a weapon shop.
A Shadow Weapon can be formed from various B, C or D Grade weapons.
Players who complete a transfer quest will receive an exchange coupon that can be traded for a Shadow Weapon. Players will receive a D Grade Shadow Weapon Exchange Coupon after completing the first class transfer, and a C Grade Shadow Weapon Exchange Coupon after completing the second class transfer.
A Shadow Weapon exchange coupon cannot be traded, dropped or sold at a private store. If you take the Shadow Weapon exchange coupon to the grand master class NPC, you can receive a Shadow Weapon as a reward.
B and C Grade weapons can be purchased with Adena from the town’s weapon merchant.
Shadow weapons can be purchased by characters that are above level 40, and the weapon item type that can be purchased changes depending on the player’s level.
Blood Sword Akamanah
A new cursed dual sword, Blood Sword Akamanah, has been added.
The item’s creation, expiration, and PvP rules are identical to those for the Demonic Sword Zariche. The Zariche or Akamanah will automatically expire 24 hours after the final PK with the sword. A system message will show the cursed sword’s remaining time by showing how much time has passed since the final PK.
When a player that carries the Zariche or Akamanah is killed, the ratio of each sword’s drop and automatic expiration has been changed to 50:50.
When a player that carries Zariche and a player that carries Akamanah attack one another, the recipient’s CP is reduced to 0. The same rules also apply in the opposite instance.
When a player that controls Akamanah acquires Zariche, the newly-acquired Zariche automatically disappeared, and the equipped Akamanah's level increases by 1. The same rules also apply in the opposite instance.
When you acquire a cursed sword (Zariche or Akamanah), two active skills are granted. The bearer of the Zariche or Akamanah gains the skills Void Flow and Void Burst in the active skills list. The cursed weapon must be equipped in order to use these skills.

If you fail against the Pagan Temple raid boss, the raid boss will now return to its original position.
When you open the Gate of Splendor to the raid boss room in the Monastery of Silence, the left and right doors have been changed to open at the same time.

Raid boss Master Anays of the Monastery of Silence has been changed. If raid boss Master Anays is outside when it receives a player’s attack, it will teleport back into the room. If the raid boss is outside and its subordinate receives an attack while it is also outside, the raid boss will teleport back into the room. When the raid boss is inside the room and its subordinates are outside, if a player attacks a subordinate, the raid boss will remain in the room, and the player will only battle with the subordinates. (Subordinates do not give experience.) If the raid boss is outside when the server goes down, it will teleport back into the room.
With the fortress update, the locations of raid bosses Eye of Beleth and Kelbar have been changed, and monsters that used to appear at the fortress’ location have all been removed.

The experience points loss problem when a player character dies above the battlefield after mounting a wyvern has been changed.
A problem with the Dark Elf Village Gatekeeper’s social animation has been changed.
Command Channel

* Leader's command: `` [message]
The leader’s command will appear in a screen message on the right lower side of the screen.
If you click on Hide Commander’s Chat in the chatting filter option window, located on the lower side of the chatting window scroll, the message will not appear.
A party report window that allows each party’s composition to be seen from the allies chatting window has been added.
Even without the clan skill Clan Imperium, it is possible to set up an allies channel and to send out invitations through an item, the Strategy Guide. The Strategy Guide item can be purchased in the Town of Aden, Rune Township, and the Town of Schuttgart.
When raiding a raid boss monster, the first attacking ally gains the right to be the looting leader. (A screen message displays the ally’s right to be the looting leader.)
While hunting a raid boss monster, the following requirements must be met in order to gain looting rights.
* Raid monster: More than 18 members in the command channel.
* Boss monsters (Queen Ant, Zaken, Orfen, Core, etc): More than 36 members in the command channel. When raiding Antharas, more than 225 members of the command channel must appear at Antharas' Nest in order to obtain first looting rights.
Five minutes after the battle with a raid boss monster ends, the looting right automatically changes into ordinary looting. But if another raid succeeds in hunting the same raid monster before the looting right changes into ordinary looting, the first raid obtains the looting right to that raid boss monster.
Each party’s composition and classes can be confirmed from the party report window. You can target a particular party member by double-clicking on his name.
The List Update button has been added to replace the allies channel member’s report (party number/total members).
The allies channel report window can be minimized.
Dueling System
A system that permits Player versus Player duels and party versus party duels outside of the arenas has been added.
The player can enter duels when they are not in combat.
Duels are possible regardless of the level difference between the opponents.
