Notable Patch Notes of April 21stThis is a summarized version of the newest patch, you may find the full notes
here.
3 new places have been added: Goonzu World, Lerna's Labyrinth and Bulguksa.
Goonzu World is a weekend event place for level 90+
Lerna's Labyrinth is the new 105 Indv. Dungeon - the key is from Ornate Treasure Maps. (hence it's price hit an all time high today) You can choose a level 105 Axe or Bow as the reward, see image of both items at bottom (Dark Lord's Axe and Bow of Dark Rage).
Bulguksa is a high level dungeon for level 112+. Asides from the standard dungeon stuff, the monsters drops Sealed Phoenix Equipment Boxes at a low rate.
PvP Changes
Our gossip was right on: Physical Damage is BACK!
Mana for melee increased while effect of Mana Drain decrease, this pretty much destroyed the whole Drain strategy from the Witch.
Storm Bringer and Shotgun procs have their damage reduced "slightly".
All AoE main skills have their damage reduced but splash damage increased.
Princess' Order was buffed to increase accuracy and more defense. New level 60 Princess' Order is reported to increase defense by 2880, healing 380 per tick and increase accuracy by 33%.
Varies skill tweaks, generally in the direction of increase splash while reducing main target damage.
Noble Sacrifice nerfed to 2 turns it's heal amount slightly reduced.
Varies damage tweaks for ranged. More damage for bows and less damage for cannons and guns. Keep in mind that due to the increase of physical damage over all, you will most likely still notice a small increase in damage for gun and cannons.
Elementalist new skill: Blazing Earth - can now be found in Valley of Oblivion or book boxes.
Free League:You gain 1% exp from winning a free league battle - up to 2x a day. You can also gain small amount of guild points per FL battle (3 and 1 for win and lose).
FL now gives a supply box for every 10 battles, not counting Doppel battles. Some of the junk inside includes:
Titan:20 mins to sign up for Grand Championship which will be held at 3am and 3pm PDT Sunday. Details on Titan can be found on full notes.
Items and others:
Phoenix boxes can be obtained via gambling, however the rate is extremely low. Also even with the box, the item you obtained from it can NOT be used until it is unsealed by someone that can already craft that item.
New repair system where you can have the items repaired by a crafted whom can create that item - this method does not reduce the durability of that item.
You can now report players using 100% will. Hopefully this will discourage those bots that doesn't even make an effort to hide themselves.
Below are some images for the newest additions. Notable items include the new level 101 rings with one being defensive and the other offensive (both extremely rare and difficult to obtain). The mount is NOT released yet but we know what's going to be in the next cash box now.
