##### PATCH NOTES 03/31/2026 #####

----- INSTANCES -----

Thanatos Tower instance has been added!

(Raid) Thanatos Tower has been added!

Challenge the powerful hero of the past Thanatos!

Corrupted, stricken by grief after being left alone in the tower for centuries. Thanatos awaits adventurers at the top of the tower.

Players may challenge him through the Story mode in order to craft and enchant their Good and Evil Weapons, Crowns and Shoes.

Or they may organize a group of powerful characters to challenge the fully-powered Thanatos in the Raid version of the instance!

The Raid version is a WEEKLY, brutal challenge where Thanatos is much more powerful and got many new tools added to his kit.

But this extreme difficulty doesn't come without extreme rewards!

Upon defeating Thanatos at the Raid version for the first time each week, players will acquire:

- Blacksmith Blessings;

- Large amounts of Zeny;

- Large amounts of crafting/enchanting materials for Good and Evil content.

- A brand-new enchant material for our special enchant for Good and Evil crowns, designed to bring this equipment to it's full potential;

- Exclusive Thanatos' pets;

- A very rare costume.

Additional raid clears with different characters within the same week won't receive additional rewards, but they do roll again for the card drops from the raid chest.

Raid cooldown ends at Saturday's reset.

----- ITEMS -----

Good and Evil equipment has arrived!

Memory of Thanatos has been changed to a blue card! It has a brand new effect and may be acquired in the new weekly Raid!

Memory of Thanatos card effect: Enchants compounded weapon with Investigate skill effect. Each attack drains 1 SP. DEF -30, Flee -30.

Memory of Thanatos card new effect: Increases SP consumption by 20%. Enchants compounded weapon with Spectral Touch. Spectral Touch gives physical and magical attacks a 50% chance to be affected by the enemy's lower defense (DEF or MDEF). When equipped with Absolution: Increases all damage vs all sizes by 25%.

Brand-new, custom enchant for Good and Evil Crowns: Absolution!

Absolution may be crafted using rare enchant materials from the raid. But once enchanted, it's sure to bring the true power of the hero who defeated Morroc himself!

Absolution: When equipped with specific Good and Evil weapons, gives +30% all damage and bonus damage to skills up to 50%! When combined with Good and Evil Shoes AND Weapons, increases damage vs all sizes, races and elements by 20%.

----- SKILLS -----

We are preparing a Shiranui/Shinkiro update along with our Class Advisors. Stay tuned!

The initial implementation of the Channeling System has begun.

Players will be able to activate and deactivate the Channeling System by typing @channeling.

While on Channeling Mode, some skills will be automatically casted on the target monster or target area for 5 seconds.

Initially, the Channeling Mode will be enabled for the following skills:

The reason for such a select list is because this is the initial implementation only. We want to make sure everything suits the game and don't create issues before expanding it further. More skills will be added to this system as we continue.

Channeling Mode cannot be used in conjunction with Starbot due to redundancy.

Pet system:

Added the option to salvage multiples of the same egg.

----- INSTANCES -----

Now you can join instances by accessing the Instance Manager UI!

It's located in your menu under your character statistics, and you may access any non-story instances from there for you and your party!

Instances from Episodes still require episode completion in order to be entered.

You may notice there are two buttons at the bottom of the Instance Manager UI:

Normal: The common, official instance.

Eclipse: Our harder, custom difficulty, monster have 99% damage reduction and deal 5x damage! But everything also has +50% Drop Rate to compensate. Entering Eclipse Mode costs one [Eclipse Key] which may be acquired from instance MVPs.

Clicking any of these buttons while in a Party and confirming will attempt to warp ALL PARTY MEMBERS into an instance, this will only work if all party members are not currently in cooldown for said instance.

Instances with an item requirement (Like Villa of Deception Advanced) still require their item in order to enter.

Currently, Eclipse Mode only has +50% Drop Rate but we will soon add custom and cosmetic drops exclusive to Eclipse Mode.

All these informations can be accessed by clicking the Tip button in the Instance Manager UI.

##### PATCH NOTES 02/17/2026 #####

----- INSTANCES -----

 - The Warper now sends you to Dimensional Rift.

----- EVENTS -----

- Poring Hunter:

 - Starbot is no longer allowed inside the event.

 - Monster no longer leave loot behind.

- Event Shop:

 - Added the [Taming Gift Set] to the Event Shop.

----- PETS -----

- New pet system has arrived!

- You can now alter the DNA of your pets, adding bonus stats to your main pet using secondary pets!

- Each pet can have up to 4 DNA splices at maximum quality! This means your pet can have 4 times as much attributes!

- DNA splicing is completely harmless and will not affect your pet's health! It can even be reversed at will!

- Pets can be upgraded through Genetic Tiers: Basic, Advanced, Superior and Apex. Each Genetic tier allows for more DNA capacity.

- *Your summoned pet no longer gives passive stats.* All stats are now decided by their spliced DNA.

- This also means you may use the pet that better suits your style, or a Super-Poring!

- This system also comes with a few changes to the base system:

 - Intimacy no longer drops and is intead fixed at Loyal. No more fleeing pets!

 - Pet hunger now decays from 100% to 0% through the span of 24 hours. Meaning you got to feed your pets at least once a day!

 - Pet hunger now only affects the bonus stats given by your pet. If your pet is under 20% hunger, it may refuse to help you until you feed it!

 - All pets can be autofed now. Also all pets now eat Pet Food.

- Genetic Material may be acquired by "salvaging" unwanted pet eggs.

- Genetic Material can be used to upgrade your pet through Genetic Tiers or to acquire some pet-related items.

- This system may be accessed at the Genetic Guild in Lighthalzen or simply by speaking to the Warper -> Special Areas -> Pet Area.

----- WORLD BOSS -----

*We have been observing the Unknown Darkness is either instantly killed or unkillable. We will adjust the Lunar Beacons to be more effective when there's less people around.*

 - It's still kinda outdated, though. We will be updating it with information about the server soon!

##### Everything above will be applied AFTER the maintenance by 02/17/2026 17:00 UTC. #####

##### SOMEWHAT EARLY PATCH NOTES 02/10/2026 ##### ----- INSTANCES -----

• Sky Fortress:
• Removed the requirement for tickets in order to start the instance.
• Fall of Glast Heim:
• Removed the Story mode.

----- DUNGEONS -----

• Illusion Dungeons:
• Removed the mechanics to spawn all Illusion Dungeon MVPs.
• Now all Illusion Dungeon MVPS have a 2-hour spawn time.
• Illusion of Luanda:
• Now has both monster types spawned, no longer requiring you to kill an MVP in order to change the monsters.

----- NPCs -----

• Added a new NPC [Bond Recycler] next to all Reputation NPCs that will trade your bound Tier3 equipment from Reputation Rewards into Reputation Coins.

----- WORLD BOSS ----- There's something weird happening in the night sky! I swear I could see shadows moving on the moon!

• Added new World Boss: Unknown Darkness!
• After a randomly-selected amount of monsters are defeated globally, the darkness in the moon stirs!
• Varmundt will appear in Prontera to teleport players there in order to fight the threat.

• Mechanics:
• As the time passes, the Unknown Darkness grows bigger and stronger;
• Players may operate Lunar Beacons around the arena in order to fire weakening beams of light to reduce it's mass and size.
• Coordination is required for this, however! A Lunar Beacon by itself doesnt do anything, they must be operated in pairs!
• Players must coordinate to activate the Lunar Beacons at the same time, activating two will fire a small beam, while activating all 6 at the same time will strip the Unknown Darkness to it's core, leaving it extremely vulnerable!
• Upon operating all 6 Lunar Beacons, the Lunar Cannons may be fired, each dealing 10% of the Unknown Darkness' Max Health per shot.
• Upon activation, Lunar Cannons will go dormant until the 6 Lunar Beacons are activated correctly again.

• If one hour passes without being defeated, the Unknown Darkness will attempt to engulf the moon, becoming too dangerous to fight. This marks the failure of the event.
• If defeated, a Reward Chest spawns in the middle of the map for 60 seconds, rewarding all participating players.
• Currently the rewards include only Event Coins, but more are planned to be added.

This marks the initial implementation of a World Boss system to our server. It's still very early in testing and we want to see how you deal with it so we may adjust it further. Balancing may be off at first, but we will refine it with time. ----- REFINING -----

• Added a new confirmation window when attempting to refine without Blacksmith Blessings.
• Clicking "Refine" without Blacksmith Blessings will prompt a big red message in the chat window. Clicking "Refine" again quickly will proceed to refine without using Blacksmith Blessings.
• This will prompt a "Failure Window", but won't cost any materials or Zeny. The actual refine will only happen upon confirming. This is due to a game limitation to the refine system.
• This whole system will NOT appear if you ARE using Blacksmith Blessings or are doing a refine without a Break Chance (Up to +7 for Lv4 and below Weapons and Lv1 Armors, Up to +10 for Lv5 Weapons and Lv2 Armors, also for Star Elunium and Star Oridecon uses)

----- SYSTEMS -----

• Monster Information:
• Added a new system to show Race and Element information above monsters' names.
• This includes a custom icon for every monster based on their Race and Element.

----- PATCHER -----

• We got a new patcher!
• This new patcher is more sophisticated and less prone to bugs.
• This also comes with the added benefit of correctly opening the game upon clicking "Game Start".
• Download for the new patcher will be available with the new update.
