Patch Notes
11/05/2026
- Niflheim exit portal restored, kafra moved inside the inn where it's safe
- Orc dungeon kafra and save point moved indoors where it's safe
- Comodo ant hell entrances restored as 1 way portals, since the navigation map still points to them (the exits will still lead to morroc desert)
- @commands like @showexp updated to persist between logins
- Cute pet tames will no longer run away and be permanently lost when their intimacy is too low, they still get mad tho
- Headgear stacking exploit fixed
- Reduced MVP/boss respawn times to half their official values, with a 0-10 minute random delay.
- MVP/boss teleporting disabled completely
- Boss and MVP status immunity revoked, and stat based immunity capped at 95% for both players and monsters (immunity from other sources like monster types and cards should still apply)
- Demon bane should no longer bypass immunities when applying debuffs
- Paladin "sacrifice" skill works now
10/05/2026 ▼
- Kafra employees across Rune-Midgart and beyond have expanded options for permanent warp destinations available to acolytes. Moscovia, Amatsu, Ayothaya, Einbroch, Kunlun, Lighthalzen, Luoyang and Brasilis have been added as destinations when casting Warp Portal.
- Cool Event Corp have responded to this move by offering the same service in Lighthalzen, Hugel, Rachel, Veins and Verus Excavation Site.
08/05/2026 ▼
- NEW COSTUME SYSTEM: every regular equip item can now be used as a costume, just try to equip it to a slot that is already full and it will go into the costume slot instead. The stats will be suppressed while being used as a costume. Just be aware that double clicking an item in your inventory wont automatically swap your equipped items now, so make sure you're actually wearing the thing you wanted and not as a costume!
- Morroc warp portal coordinates updated so you dont get stuck in a hole
- Minor adjustments to demon bane and divine protection. DP should scale much better with high int now.
07/05/2026 ▼
- Valkyrie rebirth NPC updated, because oh my GOD. She now provides better feedback, offers storage and other services, doesnt kick you out on a failed check, and has looser requirements for initiating rebirth.
- Old Red Box headgear costumes have been added to the coin trader.
- Warp portal skill expanded. Now, after learning the warp portal skill, the first time you visit a kafra in any city they will unlock that city as a permanent warp destination for you, without requiring a memo spot. Dungeon maps have been removed as valid memo points, let me know if you encounter maps that have been excluded but shouldnt be.
- Pierce skill updated to an auto proc, but uniquely has a 100% activation rate, replacing all regular attacks. This effect will not block other auto skills, instead ONLY replacing normal attacks. The damage bonus has been reduced a bit to compensate.
- Assassin cross deadly poison requirements eased. EDP is now a permanent toggle, and consumable poison bottles now regenerate every minute.
- Blacksmith toggle aura SP costs removed. I am probably going to do this retroactively for most toggle skills, and balance SP around active skills only.
- Rare item drop highlight rarity adjusted, it should actually appear now 🙂
05/05/2026 ▼
- Quest board altered to allow taking quests on multiple characters on the same account, be aware this will probably break any incomplete quests in progress. Also fixed a tracking bug with repeating quests with the same monsters.
- Vending skill reverted to original function: 10 skill levels for a total of 12 items. Changing this proved much harder than expected so it'll have to stay like this for now.
- Sitting regen ramp up slowed down a little, it was TOO quick.
- SP regen ticks slowed, since the mana cost increase seemed to do absolutely nothing.
- Provoke enhanced to force enemy targeting more reliably.
- Armor reduction mechanic altered - Provoke and Signum Crucis are now able to take enemies into negative armor values, causing them to take increased damage. This significantly increases their value in most situations.
- Suffragium can now be cast on self and maintained with Divine Protection.
- MVPs will summon minions again (was an unintended side effect of removing their teleport behavior).
- Adjusted how bonus damage is applied by custom skills so the type multiplier is processed correctly.
- Non card drops with extremely low drop rates should now also have a sound alert and blue coloured light effect.
- Several QoL updates to classes:
- Blacksmith buffs upgraded to toggles with auras, chance for weapon break removed.
- Wind Walk buff converted to toggle with aura.
- Create deadly poison skill for assassin cross now generates a deadly poison passively for free every 5 minutes, to a maximum of 1. Enchant deadly poison duration extended to an hour.
04/05/2026 #2 ▼
- Auto-proc system overhaul and rebalance. Adjusted how multiple auto proc skills interact to prevent them getting in each others way and potentially lowering damage output. ALL auto skills (including double attack) will activate more consistently now.
- Removed aoe penalty for auto casted Blitz Beat, and made it able to trigger on top of other auto skills (like double strafe)
- Reimplemented job 50 quest skips for 2nd job quests.
- Fixed transcendant job exp requirements, which were 66x higher than intended x_x
- Replaced the annoying warper voting system with a daily rotation for dungeon warps.
