Patchnote 0.914.470

Here is the changelog for the update 0.914.470

[ Game changes]

- Specter's Tower: Hardcore mode now available, featuring two new accessory sets and a new weapon for each class.

- New Rarity Tier: Introduced "Mythic" rarity beyond Legendary in the Soulcrafting system. Instead of souls, players will need to collect Azure Soulgems to reinforce Legendary items.

- New Area: "Edenys" has been added to the Path of Life region. Clear this area to earn Azure Soulgems, which can be converted to standard souls at a rate of 1:12.

- Added option to display remaining inventory slots at all times (found in the fourth tab of the options menu).

- Low HP darkening effect (Vignette Effect) can now be disabled in the options.

- Multiple user interfaces have been redesigned.

- Added experimental UI scaling feature in the options menu. Please note: This feature is still in testing and may cause the game to freeze under certain conditions.

- Added three new stats:

• Spell Damage: Increases spell damage at the final step of damage calculation, making it more powerful than other damage-increasing stats.
• Awakening Spell Damage: Functions similarly to Spell Damage but for Awakening spells specifically.
• Heal Efficiency: Boosts (or decreases) all healing effects, including spell heals, potions, cakes, pills, and all other recovery items.

- Added a special option randomizer exclusively for Black Dragon Lord weapons.

- Windrunner Rune: Now grants movement speed at the beginning of the spell instead of at the end. To balance this change, the speed boost duration has been increased to 6 seconds.

- Easter event has been added.

- Big Wheel and Mixboard have been updated.

A glimpse of the UI improvements

Soulcrafting System Expansion

• New Feature: Introduced the Chaotic Soulcraft Randomizer system.
  • This randomizer cannot be used with Chronos Stones.
  • Randomly selects a soulcraft option and applies either a positive or negative multiplier with equal probability.
  • Randomizing stats affected by the Chaotic Randomizer will reset their multipliers.
  • Players can strategically use advanced randomizers to keep stats with beneficial multipliers while resetting others.
  • Obtain these randomizer scrolls by defeating mini-bosses during ascension in Specter's Tower's hardcore mode.
  • Randomizer requirements scale inversely with soulcrafting level: 5 randomizers needed at "Advanced" level versus only 1 at "Mythic" level.

New Accessory Sets: Two new accessory sets have been added to the game :

Untouched Grace Ensemble

"Untouched Grace rewards perfection. While above 90% health, the wearer gains 3% increased spell damage per percent which amplifyies power through flawless form. Summoned entities are unaffected."

Fatebreaker Ensemble

"Fatebreaker thrives on missed chances. Each non critical hit adds 150% bonus critical damage to the next, stacking up to five times. When fortune turns, it turns hard unleashing devastation in a single, fated strike."

[ New Weapon ]

The new weapon can be obtained from Arthur at Moonlight Shore Village by trading the "Destruction Stone" item. This stone is found in Specter's Tower, but you must first complete the heroic quest to be able to trade the item.

After obtaining the weapon, you can unleash its full power by having Arthur awaken it. Note that he charges a fee for this service.

Before Awakening

After Awakening

Awakening provides two benefits :

     - A visual update

     - Enhanced power with a new special effect

New Special Effect: "When the final hit of a chain combo successfully strikes an enemy, and it differs from the last 3 final combo hits used, increase Awakening spell damage by 100% and regular spell damage by 20%, but healing efficiency from all types of heals is reduced by 80% during this time. This effect lasts for 20 seconds."

Spinning purple blades appear around your character to indicate when this effect is active.

Special Options

The new weapon features the same special options as the "Sacrificial Bangle" with two additional options:

• "Spell Damage" (up to 18%)
• "Awakening Spell Damage" (up to 66%)

These new options are exclusive to this weapon. No retroactive changes have been made to existing hardcore items, and the new accessories set shares the same special options as previous sets.

[ PvP Changes & Balance Adjustments ]
