This patch contains the new upgrade method for Seed Rings, lots of Grandis map improvements, and some other changes. It has the New Name Auction event that lets you buy and sell character names, and a new premium track for Fairy Bros’ Golden Chariot. There’s also a collaboration with DJMAX RESPECT V, a rhythm game! Changes Made in 1.2.381 Official Update We would like to talk in advance about the major changes that will be made from the content implemented in the current test world to the official server update. First of all, for the Authentic Force maps, we want to maintain the maximum 2 players per map feature, like how it is in the official server right now. This was a change made as an emergency response to the rapid increase in hunting ground usage after the 6th job update. Since it was a temporary implementation, there were various specifications that were not as smooth as possible, such as Runes/Elite Monsters/Elite Bosses/Burning maps. While solving these parts, we wanted to think more about a direction on how to develop shared hunting grounds into more meaningful content or systems and come up with a good update as an answer. In the August 31 update, we first tried to return to the old specifications. However, after checking the recent map hunting data, the current occupancy rate of the Cernium and above main hunting grounds remains high, and the following events are also closely related to hunting in maps, so we decided it would be better to keep the hunting grounds shared by 2 people as they are now, as this would give players a better experience. This change will be maintained until further notice but the increase in Rune experience/decrease in cooldown, which was made as an alternative to the lack of Burning maps, will be changed back to the original specifications as before this system since Burning maps were applied again. We will continue to think about the changes related to instanced hunting grounds to improve the system completeness separately from the current specifications, and we will implement them in a better update in the future. The following is information related to Monster Life. In addition to the changes mentioned in the previous Vision Talk, to alleviate the inconvenience of using this content, we have changed actions that required Gems so that they can also be used with Waru, and we have also increased the number of times each monster can be combined. Finally, there was an error since the last update where in Watcher Kalos, Dark Sight could be used to avoid certain bomb patterns (the orange bombs). This feature was not possible since Kalos was introduced and it only happened in the past month due to the last update. We decided this error made the content’s difficulty too easy for certain jobs, so we will fix it in this official server update. We apologize for the delay in fixing this error and causing confusion to players.

Any further characters that enter the map will not see any monsters. Elite Monsters, Elite Champions, and Elite Bosses will not appear. Rune of Darkness and Rune of Treasures will not appear. You cannot party in these maps.

Even if you revive in the same map, you cannot re-acquire monster ownership until you re-enter the map. ※ These changes will be applied until further notice.

When trying to Polish a ring, you can choose the number of Polishing Stones you will use. Based on that number, the Polishing success rate and the amount of mesos used will be set. The success rate and mesos used based on the number of Polishing Stones used are as follows. Number of Polishing StonesSuccess RateMesos Used 110%500m mesos 220%1b mesos 330%2b mesos 440%3.5b mesos 550%5b mesos When your Polishing succeeds, the Special Skill Ring used as material’s level will be increased to level 5.

[Back to Overview] Other Changes The Continuous Ring’s effects have been changed. The skill has been changed so that it activates when your attack hits a boss monster after the preparation is complete. The skill now gives 4%/6%/8%/10% attack/magic attack when it activates, in addition to the existing boss damage. The readability of the levels displayed on Special Skill Rings’ icons has been improved.

When someone visits your farm and combines with your monsters, the daily limit on the number of people that combine with a specific monster without having to Charge Essence has been changed from 300 people to 500 people. In this update, we wanted to make it easier to collect Waru and increase the chances of getting A+ rank and higher Special monsters to alleviate the burden of overall play time in Monster Life. In addition, since Monster Life related products will no longer be sold in the Cash Shop, certain actions that required Gems like extending monsters’ lifespans will be changed to use Waru instead.
