• Interact with a Blacksmith and select the Extraction option.
• Select the Extract Crystal button and open the "Owned Crystals" (Crystal Inventory) UI.
• Select either the Crystal Extraction Tool or Black Spirit Essence and select the crystal you want to extract.

 With the changes to transfusing crystals, we've removed the restrictions that once applied to each gear slot. You can now transfuse crystals into any empty slot you prefer, so setting them up has become more efficient than before.

However, some restrictions have been applied when considering balance. No more than two (four for Combined Magic) crystals of the same group can be equipped. Crystals that share similar stats have been grouped together and are set with a maximum number that can be transfused. Details of the restrictions are as follows.

• With the aforementioned changes to transfusing crystals, a max limit has been set for certain crystal groups.

Lastly, a designated crystal inventory and crystal presets have been added. To transfuse crystals, you must add all owned crystals into the crystal inventory. The maximum number of crystals that can be stored is 50. However, in order to remove crystals intact into your regular inventory, a Crystal Extraction Tool is required.

Preview

Crystals in the crystal inventory can now be set however you like through presets. The crystal inventory and crystal presets are applied to the entire Family so all characters can utilize the function freely.

Movement Adjustments

Improved some classes basic movements (forward, back/left, right) starting from Archer and Guardian. We have added this action to provide more natural movement, but many Adventurers who played the characters have given us feedback that it felt uncomfortable. So, we have improved upon those motions again, however it seems Adventurers are still experiencing discomfort, so we reverted the movements back to how they were originally. We apologize for the Adventurers that like the current version. Going forward, we will examine elements that make up comfortable controls with greater care.

• Improved control feel at the beginning and end of character movements when the following classes are moving in non-combat stance or with main weapon or awakening weapon drawn.

Drakania

 Several changes have been made to Drakania Awakening. First, we have updated her Hexeblood form so that her skills can be used with greater ease and precision. Also, some Dragonblood skills have been revamped to be (and feel) more powerful.
Drakania's Hexeblood skills are focused on repeated strikes, with debuffs activated with each movement. This made it so that you had to find the right skill in order to activate your desired debuff. With this update, we have more clearly distinguished skills with debuffs from skills with block effects to simplify the composition of skill combos.
We have also revamped some Dragonblood skills to feel heftier. Skills such as Dragonblood: Storm Piercer and Dragonblood: Tip of the Scale, which use repeated strikes, have been updated so that all damage is inflicted with a single movement, then linking to the next skill.

The Blue Whale and Fugitive Khalk content are being improved. First, these monsters will appear on random servers at random times just like field bosses, however a message will be displayed before their appearance so that Adventurers can form parties in advance. As more Adventurers will be able to gather, the number of parties permitted to hunt and the probability to obtain items have also been increased. As for the Blue Whale, after it is hunted, up to 2 more will spawn in the ocean where it initially appeared. We hope these changes will make your hunting ventures more enjoyable.

The rules for Node Wars have been changed, and the pre-season will begin on Sunday, January 22, 2023.

Due to these changes, the pre-season is expected to last for about a month. However, we hope that the changes we have made to this pre-season will be impactful and fun.

Some of the changes include adjusting the maximum number of nodes to 33. The significant decrease in the number of nodes was done to encourage more guilds to compete against each other for them. However, to prevent a powerful guild from monopolizing the nodes, we have limited the number of nodes a guild can occupy at a time to three.

Furthermore, after the end of the pre-season, additional benefits will be added for occupying a node. When a guild takes a node, the bonuses given for investing in the node will double. For example, if Guild A takes Mansha Forest, then all members of Guild A will receive double the bonuses for their investment level. There are also nodes that do not have monster zones. This means that guilds will have to decide whether they want to target a specific node or go after regular nodes.

In addition to the changes mentioned above, the Shining Resplendent Medals of Honor will be awarded to guilds and their members regardless of whether they win or lose the war. We will provide more details about rewards once the pre-season officially begins.

• Rules for Node/Conquest Wars have been changed.
  • The main changes are as listed below.
    • Changed the maximum number nodes available for guilds to 3.
    • You will not be able to participate in level 2-4 Conquest Node Wars if you participate in Level 1 (Beginner/Intermediate) conquest Node wars as usual. (Rules apply vice versa)
    • The rule of the defending team claiming victory remains the same if the Guild/Command Post is not destroyed while a Conquest Node War is in progress for the duration of 2 hours.
  • All Node and Conquest War Occupation Information has been reset with the changes to Node War rules.

• • Node Tax Info has been reset with the changes to tax collection rules.
  • Please note that there will be a reduction in accumulated taxes for Nodes that are conquered after the January 18th maintenance.
• Changes to the following node locations are as follows:
  • Expanded the areas of each Node so more Guilds can participate.
    
    • The number of acquired taxes will be adjusted with the changes.
  • Each Node will not be divded by territory and will be set by Node level.

• The number of Node/Conquest Wars for each day.

• The days in which each level of Node/Conquest Wars will take place.

• Changed the appearance of the Node War Information on the World Map.
  
  • The current node occupation information will be shown with changed icons and node colors.
  • A random color will be assigned for each guild that occupies a node. When a guild expands and occupies a neighboring node, the nodes will be filled with the same color.
  • The node will be highlighted when selected and show where you can build forts in that node.
  • The borderlines between different territories and nodes occupied by different guilds will be marked with a thick yellow line.
  • The borderlines between each node will be marked with a dark grey line.

• • You can use a filter to see the nodes that your guild currently occupies, nodes by their tiers, and nodes by the Node War day.

Although expanding the maximum number of nodes was an option, please understand we have decided to start with the current main node locations for preseason and will introduce more little by little as the situation calls for it.

With each node becoming more significant, we have added Stats Restriction for level 2 and 3 nodes as we did for level 1. For level 2, total stats as they appear within My Stats cap AP at 532, while Damage Reduction and Evasion are capped at 328 and 870 respectively. At level 3, AP is capped at 585, while Damage Reduction and Evasion are capped at 364 and 922 respectively. You can reach a total AP and DP of up to approximately 620 and 680 as shown in the Inventory window. (This is based on the levels of total stats in the My Stats window and can be easily reached through additional buff effects through food or elixir items.)

There are significant pros and cons to stats restrictions. However, after analyzing the progression of current Adventurers, we came to the conclusion that restrictions were required in order for Node Wars to run smoothly. Please note that we will keep an eye on these restrictions and adapt them as the situation changes.  

• Each Node Level has been changed to have the following stat restrictions.

• • In level 1 (Beginner and Intermediate), max HP 5,000 and max HP -500 every 20 minutes remains the same as usual.
    

We've added a new system to deal with "sniping." From now on, Each Guild is given 1 opportunity a week to participate in Node Wars. This opportunity is used upon participation, but it will be refunded if the minimum criteria is met so that guilds that have participated in a Node War can continue to do so the next day.

The criteria for participation is based on a few things such as the destruction of enemy fortresses or the number of guild member kills/deaths. We will continue to revise the criteria if further adjustments are required.

• Participation System for Node Wars has been added.
  • In order to participate in Node Wars, you need participation opportunities. When all participation opportunities are consumed, you cannot participate in Node Wars since constructing forts will be unavailable.
  • Each Guild is given 1 opportunity a week to participate.
  • Participation opportunities are reset every Saturday at midnight.
  • If you meet the minimum criteria of the participating Node War, Participation opportunities will be refunded and you can continue to participate in Node Wars the next day.
  • The minimum criteria for Participation opportunities are as follows:
    
    • If an enemy fort is destroyed, or the number of kills/deaths is greater than 20
• Adventurers, who participated in Node War, can now earn Resplendent Medals of Honor regardless of whether they win, liberate, or lose.

• • However, Adventurers, whose performance sits at the top 5%, will still receive 5 additional Resplendent Medals of Honor.
