An issue with the Sunny Bug Extermination Quest has been found. If you completed the quest, and started the Pollination Situation Quest or the Mermaid Headphones one and return to the Sunny Bug kill npc your progress will be lost and you will be stuck due to having already completed the bug kills.

This has been fixed as of a few minutes ago. If you were one of the players affected by this bug, simply talk to the sunny bug kill lady, Amy. Your Pollination and Mermaid Headphones progress will remain lost, but you can complete it again to obtain rewards.

Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for your patience and understanding.

Forgot to add this update from last maintenance:

Thanatos Basement Spawns have changed:
- 50 Mane will spawn instead of 70
- 50 Souleater will spawn up from 20
- 50 Lifedrinker will spawn up from 20

Their spawn times remain the same.

[GM-Ciar]

• The warp from Morroc Town leading to the wrong Morroc Field (DG) has been fixed. It now takes you to field 10 as intended.

[GM-Ciar]

• Sapha's Ring drop rate from Venomous has been increased from 0.30% to 0.60%. For reference, Poet's Inspiration drops at 0.60% rate from Violy which has an instant spawn time and a spawn amount of 30-40 in Geffenia, whereas Venomous only has a 5-minute spawn rate and a spawn amount of 10 in only one map.

Monster Updates
Eralia
• Eralia's Princess Knife drop rate was increased from 5.25% to 15%.
• Eralia now drops Holy Dagger at 9% instead of Golden Hair. Previously, Selkies in Muspelheim dropped the weapon, but with their removal, the dagger became unobtainable.
  
  Levia Lusca
• To provide more methods of defeating Levia Lusca, the lord of byalan no longer uses Magic Mirror, and does not spawn monsters when hit by ranged physical attacks.
• Now uses Wide Stun instead of a large area Hammer Fall.
• Casts water ball at Lv 5 instead of 10.
• As compensation, it now uses Ice Breath and Blood Drain while chasing in addition to attack.
• Uses Splash Attack when attacking/chasing.
  
  Atroce
• Now permanently drops Atlas Weapon (Atroce Blade) at 15% up from 6%.
• Now drops Ulle's cap at 24% instead of the original 6%.
  
  Draugr
• Grimtooth drop rate has been increased from 0.30% to 0.75%.
  
  Hellion Revenant
• Lowered its hit so it's more likely to miss.
• Min. attack went up by 1000, but max attack went down by 1000. Average attack is the same but now your chance of an unlucky Dark Grand Cross suddenly hitting for 35000 one tick is far less likely.
• No longer uses "Snap" when hit by fire wall.
• Removed duplicate grand cross of darkness skill entries.
• Removed Skull Ring and Robe of Cast so there's not as much clutter of random loot.
• Now drops the "Strigoi Spirit" non-costume headgear, stat-less and effect-less for now. The Creativity Contest's Strigoi Spirit is the costume version and still only obtainable from the contest.

Headgear Updates
• Drooping Eddga, Garm Hat, Maya Helm, and Flowers of Tanee are now upper headgears instead of Upper and Mid, can now be refined, and have a level requirement of 30 instead of 50. In compensation and for balance purposes, their property resistance has been lowered to 10%.
• The Costume versions of the above hats are now upper as well.
• Witch Hat has been updated to be the same as the above headgears. It now reduces damage from the ghost property by 10%, and when spiderweb wings are equipped, increases damage against the ghost property by 10%. However, it does not change armor property.
• Spiderweb Wings no longer requires witch hat to be worn to allow usage of Soul Strike, and its level has been increased to Lv 5 instead of Lv 3, to match the "3 Bolts" attack from the elemental wings.
  
  Other Item Updates
• Nightmare Ancient Mummy Card's chance to cause bleeding was increased from 0.20% per refine to 5% with no refine requirement, to match closer what a mobbing class can pull off.
• Nightmarish Mummy Card's status effect was changed from sleep and curse to blind and curse, and now requires the above card to inflict the extra status.
• Little Fatum Card's chance to cause the blind status was increased from 2.5% to 5%, closer matching flash arrows' rates (10%). It also increases resistance to the status by 1% for every level of napalm beat learned.
• Boitata Card's effect has changed completely, in order to reserve Fire Breath's autocast for a regular monster card. It now takes the unreleased Gold Scaraba Queen Card's effect, becoming a headgear card, providing 3 STR, and immunity to the silence and sleep statuses.
  

Note 1: These updates took effect yesterday, but item descriptions will be properly visible in the next patch.

Note 2: Some days ago, GM-Aki did a serverwide search for MVP/Miniboss cards listed here to know if any were carded already and found none. This means that there should be no possibility of someone with a now-headgear-slottable Boitata Card in a Garment. However, we still want to ask the following: if you or someone you know has a recently-changed card that is no longer in the correct slot, please submit a support ticket so a GM can properly decard and return the items. Failure to do so can be considered abuse of exploits, which is a punishable offense.

[GM-Ciar]

- Costume Black and White Silk Wings' weight were lowered to 0, matching all other costumes.
- Costume Lupus and Felinus Wigs' weight were lowered to 0, matching all other costumes.

Tired of having to ask for a warp to Trials Island just to exchange a ToH voucher? Well now an NPC in Prontera offers this service! It's located to the southwest of town, inside the haircut coupon/wedding shop!

[GM-Ciar]

• Staff of Darkness has been updated to provide the following effects: MATK +15%, INT +2, and if Soul Strike Lv 6 or higher is learned, enables the use of Dark Strike. The available level increases by 1 for every skill level invested in soul strike past Lv 5 (Level 10 Soul Strike = Level 5 Dark Strike).
• Book of Prayer now adds a chance to cast Lv 3 heal on yourself when attacking. Due to technical difficulties it does not activate when attacking with Star Gladiator's Heat skills.
