Other Changes The required time to complete the 5th job advancement has been decreased. It seems the waiting time in between charging Arcane Stones has been completely removed! This might just be a test server thing though so I’ll recheck once this hits the official servers. When you use Core Gemstones, you will now only receive V Cores that you can equip. The experience required to level up V Cores has been adjusted. I will add more details when I find them but it seems someone on Insoya has made a chart of the new experience requirements. Top left is the old skill tables, top right is the new skill tables, bottom left is the old enhancement tables, bottom right is the new enhancement tables. The columns are from left to right: skill level, exp to next level, total exp, then average required cores (specific and rounded up). Arcane Symbols’ maximum level has been increased. I will add more details when I find them but I think it was increased to level 20. Dimensional Library Dimensional Library – Episode 4: The Bard of the Snowy Mountain has been added. Hundreds of years ago, their names were scattered and disappeared alongside a blizzard. The only things that were passed down were old instruments and sad songs. New quests have been added.

The main character is a bard in El Nath (I believe he is part of Von Leon’s kingdom). Von Leon’s castle is attacked and when the bard goes to help the survivors, he sees Von Leon talking to Hilla about taking revenge on Maple World by joining the Black Mage. He encounters a strange girl (Alicia!) who asks for help in collecting animals for her ark (aka The SEED). Afterwards, she asks him to come with her but he declines, choosing to stay with his allies and fight. In the end, the war overtakes the castle and they are invaded. The bard’s harp is passed down to the Transcendent of Life (Alicia) who leaves it in Ereb. New NPCs have been added.
