[2] Changes/additions

2-1. Sunset Cloister Changes

[Sunset Cloister Changes]

▶ In Sunset Cloister, [Sealed Blood Moon Dragon Jade] can be acquired at a low rate instead of [Sealed Dreamy Dragon Jade].

2-2. Fission Maze Changes

▶ The effect color of the [Schisms] that attack heroes in the Fission Maze has been changed because it was obscured by the Labyrinth.

▶ We changed the BGM to increase the tension in a manner matching the challenging Fission Maze content.

2-3. Deep Abyss of Nightmare Improvements

We added the following to make Nightmare gameplay even more enjoyable!

▶ An additional Bonus KILL count is randomly generated for killing powerful enemies (on top of the +50 KILL count provided by default).

You can get anywhere from 0 to a +300 KILL count!

▶ Applies across Deep Abyss (Nightmare 1, 2).

2-4. Dungeon Soft Renewal for Our Heroes

The annoyance of doors taking too long to open.

The inconvenience of being unable to attack until a pattern is complete.

Irritating monster attacks.

We have made improvements to eliminate these minor aspects that combine to increase the uncomfortable elements of dungeons, causing fatigue and frustration!

Our new improvements were made to ensure that our heroes can fully enjoy the fun of Dragon Nest without sacrificing the individual character of each dungeon.

We will continue to update our heroes on the improvements we make along the way through patch notes.

◆ Sea of Sand Dust

▶ Zone 1 - Zone 2

We changed the monster's scattered appearance locations at the beginning and reduced the unnecessarily

long appearance time to continue the flow of the battle.

▶ Zone 3

We judged that the 3-minute countdown event of the Sandstorm pattern was not suitable considering the current stage play time limit.

We therefore changed it to a basic battle pattern and made it so a large number of monsters appear, allowing players to feel the pleasure of mass slaughter.

We also revised the message and script.

▶ Zone 4

We changed the location where monsters appear at the same time to the center so that they can be targeted in a concentrated fashion.

▶ Zone 5

We minimized the cut scene time.

We also removed the whirlwind so that characters cannot be hit by it at the end of battle.

◆Shadow Grave

▶ All

We added and organized effects and messages appearing for the petrification debuff and petrification removal buff acquisition patterns (the gimmick of this stage)

so that players can visually and directly notice when they have become petrified.

▶ Zone 2

We increased the grade of the monsters to match the concept of summoning powerful monsters.

▶ Boss Zone

Improved the special attack pattern that came out too quickly and was used too frequently so that it is now used at an appropriate time.

◆ Serpentra Nest

▶ Entrance

Fixed the movement of the boat after the cut scene ends to make it more natural.

▶ Stage 1

Groups of Ghouls, Spitflowers, and Cyclops no longer appear because they ran away. Fairies remain unchanged.

There is now a certain chance of the crater tread pattern not activating and the Three Lizardman Brothers appearing immediately.

Changed the gauge amount in the crater tread pattern so that it fluctuates based on the number of characters entering.

As the Stage 1 pattern has been simplified, the HP of the Three Lizardman Brothers has increased.

▶ Stage 4

During special attack patterns, the HP of appearing Spit Flowers decreases by 1% every 3 seconds.

▶ Boss Zone

The gauge increases slightly during special attack patterns.

2-5. Unused Points Removed

- We have removed 7 types of points that are no longer in use.

- Points removed:

[Combined] Stage Points, [Combined] Nest Points, [Combined] Nightmare Points, Slayer Points

Alliance Points - Golden Goose, Alliance Points - Cassius, Alliance Points - Free Adventurer

<Pre-changes>

<Post-changes>

2-6. Labyrinth 6F+ New Monsters Added

- Added a new monster named “Golden Goblin” that has a certain chance of appearing in stages on Labyrinth 6F+ difficultly.

This monster drops 100 gold 100% of the time when defeated and this gold has designated ownership (meaning it can be acquired individually by each character).

2-7. New Guild Mission Added

• 3 new guild missions have been added.

2-8. Guild Mission Restructuring

We're trying to alleviate the burden of guild growth by increasing the delivery number of hunting guild missions and reducing the delivery number of living guild missions.

[Changes]

•[Nest Hunting] The number of deliveries for each stage of the guild mission has been increased.

•[Cultivation] [Fishing] [Cooking] [Collecting] We have lowered the number of delivery for guild missions.

2-9. Deep Abyss (Nightmare) Reward Change

•465 gold (465 Hero's Gold Coin) has been added to [Nightmare] Living Darkness.

•The reward for defeating Deep Abyss (Nightmare) boss monster has been changed from Talisman to the item required for the guild mission, 'REM Sleep Memory'.

2-10. Improve growth and acquisition experience

• Catastrophe – Red Lotus Palace Reward Improvement

– The number of Catastrophe Dryobalanops that can be obtained when cleraring 'Catastrophe - Red Lotus Palace' has been changed

so that you can get 1 or 5 with a low probability, and 100 with a very low probability from fixed 1.

• Sealed Dreamy Dragon Jade Craft Improvement

–The required number of fragments of the Sealed Dreamy Dragon Jade that can be obtained through blacksmith craft has been lowered from 300 to 89.

2-11. Other

■ Constellation Stone (Treasure) drop rate has been reduced.

■ [Stormbreaker Weapon Boxes] now may include costumes for the Vandar class.

■ Guild Badge and Title Changes

- The purchase cost of Guild Badges and Guild Titles has changed.

[3] Balance

3-1. Skill Cooldown Changes: Effect-related Changes

Among skill and item effects, we have revised the process for a skill's reuse wait time, the cooldown, to be stacked.

If two or more cooldown change effects stack for a particular skill, the ultimate value will be the product of the stacked values multiplied.

Previously, cooldown values were overwritten by the most recently applied effect, but many cases emerged where cooldown change effects stacked, such as was the case after character balance patches, remakes, and with Skill Dragon Jade (Dreamy/Blood Moon), and Skill Heraldry.

Because the existing structure was not intuitive and did not match the general trend of recent patches, we changed the overall structure.

3-2. December Skill Balancing – PvE

3-3. December Skill Balancing – PvP

- Please note that there was a skill reset done for Treasure Hunter, Duelist and Trickster during Update Patch on December 10th.

3-4. Homogenizing the Duration of 3 Debuffs

- Decreased attribute resistance

- Increased received damage

- Decreased critical resistance

The duration of all debuffs given by the above skills has been unified to 30 seconds (applies only to PvE.)
