Sage

Sage Succession can use Prime: Rift Chain to vanish completely from an enemy’s sight and reposition. Combined with Super Armor, this allowed Sage to maintain defensive effects through most actions while looking for CC opportunities. To introduce more risk when Prime: Rift Chain is on cooldown, we changed Dimensional Compression’s defensive effect from Super Armor to Forward Guard..

Main weapon, Succession

Dimensional Compression

• The skill’s defense judgment has been changed from Super Armor to Forward Guard.

Drakania

Drakania Awakening has been adjusted to balance the overpowered Dragonblood: Tip of the Scale and further define the roles of her Hexeblood and Dragonblood skills. Previously, Dragonblood: Tip of the Scale combined wide-range Knockdown with Drakania Awakening’s mobility, which led it to function as an engage AoE CC skill that could also bypass opponents’ Forward Guard. Accordingly, we’ve reduced the effectiveness of Dragonblood: Tip of the Scale. Dragonblood skills have been adjusted to maintain defensive effects and focus on patiently looking for openings. In contrast, Hexeblood skills have been adjusted to use quick actions to apply CC to a small number of enemies, then commit to fast, heavy damage in exchange for taking on greater risk.

War of the Roses

War of the Roses is a large-scale PvP mode where the leading guild’s ability to command its faction plays a crucial role. However, practical issues, such as gathering 100 guild members at the same time or having insufficient guild/alliance participation, can make it difficult to apply.

To make this easier for the leading guild, we’ve improved the way members can be allocated. The leading guild will be able to recruit additional members from the third legion to fill in, and focus on their strategy instead of worrying about recruitment. However, please note that the additional recruitment will not be available if the number of applicants from the third legion is below 400.

We are also addressing the practical inconveniences you may have experienced while organizing platoons. With only the Family Name of the third legion available, the leading guild had to manually find out if the legion had enough experience in Node or Conquest Wars. Through this update, you will now see their affiliated guild in the platoon menu, allowing for more precise strategic planning.

Furthermore, the map has been restructured for a denser tactical element by reducing the number of Sanctums from 10 to 7 and placing them around the middle and lower parts of the map, instead of the distant outskirts that saw little action. With less time spent on unnecessary Sanctum defense, you will be able to focus your firepower on more focused and thrilling battles for key objectives.

Through these improvements, we hope to make War of the Roses more than a simple large-scale battle, into an even more interesting combination of strategy and combat.

Wars of the Roses – Rules of Engagement Changes, Improvements

• A system for selecting additional participants for the 3rd Legion has been added to compensate for the insufficient number of participants in the War of the Roses Leading Guild.

  • However, only when the number of participants in the 3rd Legion exceeds 200 (400 in total) for each faction, additional participants from the leader’s guild will be selected.
  • Since the role of the leader guild is important, there must be at least 30 participants belonging to the leader guild, and accordingly, the maximum number of additional selections is 70.
  • Accordingly, the maximum number of participants in each faction’s 3rd Legion has been changed to 200-270.
  • The additional participants selected to replace the insufficient number of participants in the leader’s guild belong to the 3rd Legion, and the rewards are also received as rewards from the 3rd Legion.

UI

For seasoned Adventurers who travel across territories and servers to watch prices, what matters most is making a quick call at the best rate. The existing “Sell All” option is simple, but it did not leave much room to respond to different price trends for each item.

With this update, we have added the “Sell Same Type” function. Even if your Inventory (I) contains a mix of trade items, you can now choose exactly which goods to sell.

We hope this helps you fine-tune your Trading strategy: use the Quotation Board to sell items with favorable percentages first, and hold onto the rest until the timing is right.

• A ‘Sell Same Type’ feature has been added to allow you to select the desired types of trade items from your bag and sell them all at once to the NPC.
  • You can sell only those items in bulk by clicking the ‘Sell Same Type’ button for the desired trade item in the price table UI.
  • This feature is activated when the bargaining game is successful, and when the button is clicked, an effect is displayed that intuitively shows the button’s location in the price table.

You can now access various World Map (M) functions more conveniently via hotkeys. Whether you are setting an auto-run loop for Training, checking your horses at the Stable, or viewing the Barter UI while sailing, you can assign hotkeys to the functions you need and use them without clicking through menus. Use the “World Map Hotkey Settings” menu to build your own customized list and streamline your adventure.

• After entering the world map (M), press the Ctrl key to display the shortcut tooltip.
  • Pressing the key indicated in the tooltip along with Ctrl or Ctrl+Shift will open the corresponding menu.
  • You can change the key to your desired one by pressing the gear button at the bottom right and selecting ‘World Map Shortcut Key Settings’.
    • However, the Ctrl and Ctrl+Shift combination keys are fixed and cannot be changed.

• The ‘Captain’s Command (Minigame)’ UI has been changed to not be displayed when boarding a galley cabin of another guild within the alliance.
