Developer Comments

This update marks the start of the EAS9 End of Season Events. During the final stretch before the start of EAS10, the dungeons have become a more dangerous place with better rewards to match. Non-boss monsters are more aggressive. In return, dungeon drop rates have been increased across the board. Artifact drop rates have been doubled in High-Roller dungeons, and the chance to obtain better loot and higher-rarity items has increased in all dungeons. Accessory drop rates from the sub-bosses have also increased, and quest item drop rates have been boosted. This includes a small temporary chance to gain Legendary-grade quest items from PvE dungeons during this period. Additionally, the small coffers chests in all dungeons have a small chance to yield the super valuable hunting loots during this event. To help boost Adventure Rank progress in the final push towards ‘Demigod’ rank, we’ve doubled the Adventure Point multiplier for all dungeons. The End of Season festivities also include the 'Artifact Arenas' which will be available from July 10 through July 14. Finally, we’ve also made big improvements to the in-game ping system for better team coordination. This also includes new communications wheels for both social and combat messages. We hope you enjoy these changes while we prepare for the next Early Access Season. Be on the lookout for new EAS10 information dropping soon. In the meantime, see you in the dungeons!

• New Artifacts – Are you worthy enough to discover and wield the brand new Artifacts and minor Artifacts?
• New Melee Riposte Mechanics - Blocking with sword-type weapons now takes into consideration the size and sweet spot of the weapons. Blocking with the sweet spot now allows a quicker riposte.
