[Developer's Note]

 

 

How are you?

This is Dragon Nest Developer S.

Today I would like to inform heroes about the recent approach we have taken for improving Skill Dragon Jade and character balancing.

 

Skill Dragon Jade

 

 

‘Skill Dragon Jade’ was introduced a long time ago, but there are still some types of Skill Dragon Jade that players don’t find it worthwhile to invest in.

In order to address this issue, we have made partial improvements to Skill Dragon Jade with poor performance specifications, as well as the skills they enhance.

 

 

 

We made these modifications with a focus on narrowing the gap existing between the ‘Dreamy/Blood Moon/Verdure Dragon Jade’ used by a single class.

As Skill Dragon Jade balancing is closely related to the basic performance of the character, we will compensate for any shortcomings with a character balancing patch.

 

In addition, we are preparing a variety of ways to use each Skill Dragon Jade.

We will prepare the agenda so that you can check it as soon as possible.

 

 

 

Character Balance

A number of balancing patches will be applied in the near future.

There are two things that are at the core of the balancing agenda:

 

 

 

1. Basic damage balancing

2. Minimizing Cooldown decrease/recovery mechanisms

 

 

 

Item 1 addresses most balancing issues and is carried out by improving specifications.

 

Item 2 is mainly about addressing balancing issues with some classes such as Crusader, Black Mara, Blade Dancer, and Spirit Dancer.

We are working on trimming down this part because we feel some difficultly with providing a mechanism by which the cooldown of all main skills is recovered/reduced in a short cycle within a meta where skills are enhanced with items.

This problem should have been improved after a thorough review when Skill Dragon Jade was launched, but there were many shortcomings at the time that prevented us from doing so.

In particular, when overbalancing issues emerged, such as those involving Ruina and Smasher, we generally responded by simply lowering skill specifications.

In the future, we will prepare character balancing patches that will be received as an improvement in gameplay as opposed to a simple downgrade/increase of specifications.

 

 

 

Lastly...

We are planning on releasing two character-related patches, one minor and one major, between February and March.

We will continue to strive to provide quality content to players.

Thank you always. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

4. Changes/Additions

 

 

■ Minos Shoes: 3rd Additional Slot Unlocked

 

•Use the special item [Brinhild's Crystal] to unlock an additional slot on a 2-slot shoes version of [Minos Armor], [Minos Armor (Duplicate)], [Insight, Devotion Minos Armor], [Heavenly Minos Armor], and [Amplified Heavenly Minos Armor].

•When a slot is added, all enhancements, stats, and additional stats are retained.

 

•The Frozen Dragon Jade slots added to items will be reset rather than retained upon disassembly/evolution.

 

•3-slot [Minos Armor] enhancement, disassembly, and evolution works the same as for the current 1 and 2-slot versions.

•Example: +10 Insight Shoes (3-slot) disassembly yields a +10 Minos Shoes (Duplicate, 1-slot) and High Grade Celestone.

and are holding an exclusive banquet of their own.

The longer this feast continues, the greater the Goddess's nightmare grows.

 

"Please spoil their feast!"
