New World Retouches and Updates

[GM-Ciar]

Throughout the week we'll be updating New World to rebalance some of the monsters, stats, skills, and drop wise. The intent is to make it less of a burden for solo players, while still keeping it challenging, and equally fun for parties.



Part 1 - Splendide Fields



Pinguicula
-No Skill or Stat Changes.

Pingu Corsage [1] 0.21 -> 0.30%
Whip of Balance 0.21 -> 0.36%



Luciola Vespa
- Uses body relocation/snap when hit by fire wall or arrow repel, instead of doing it unconditionally.

Ancient Cape 0.30 -> Ancient Cape [1] 0.45%
Sprint Ring 0.15 -> Sprint Ring 0.21%



Naga
-No Skill or Stat Changes.

Battle Fork [4] 0.30 -> 0.45%
Naga Armor 0.30 -> 0.45%
Naga Shield [1] 0.30 -> 0.45%

The monster is of a decent difficulty already and requires no change, but its gear drop rates have been increased since they are for the most part, outdated or have not aged well.



Dark Pinguicula
- No longer spawns Nepenthes upon dying.
- No longer uses magic mirror.
- Edit (August 8): No longer uses change undead.

Exorcising Ring 0.21% (New Drop)
Moonlight Ring 0.36% -> 0.45%

60 Mdef is enough of a magic deterrent already, so magic mirror was removed. The nepenthes spawn is similar to Amon Ra's, in which the summoned mob doesn't die with its summoner, so this skill was removed to avoid crowding the maps too much as it had happened in years past.



Cornus
- No longer casts Full Heal (the skill that returns the mob to full HP)
- No longer uses wind walk
- Heal Lv 11 (The 9999 Heal) has been lowered to Heal Lv 10
- Assumptio Cast Rate has been lowered from 100% to 25%
- Assumptio cast time has been increased from 0.60s
- Assumptio is now interruptable

Sprint Mail 0.27 -> 0.36%
Long Horn [1] 0.09 -> 0.30%
Exorcising RIng 0.03 -> Removed (Given to Dark Pinguicula)
Angelic Ring 0.15 -> 0.30%

Drastically lowered all its defensive skills which made it nearly unkillable if not for strong burst damages like asura strike.



Hillsrion
- No longer uses power up.
- No longer uses body relocation.
- Sonic Blow and Wind Attack has been lowered from Lv 4 to Lv 2.
- Critical Attack and Joint Beat cooldown have been increased from 3s to 5s.
- Multi-Stage Attack has been increased from 15% to 20%.

Mink Coat 0.36 -> 0.60%

Should no longer pose such a world-ending threat to adventurers, while also reinforcing its status as a decent exp mob.



Hillsrion (MVP Summon)
- No longer uses venom dust or power up.

Lowered difficulty slightly so that once the party has managed to set up formation properly, the battle flows better.



Tendrilrion
- Movement Speed lowered from 80 to 100 (Same as peco rider with agi up)
- No longer uses power up.

Eraser 12% ->15%
Death Guidance 12% -> 15%
Ring of Wind 15% -> 24%

Speed has been lowered to make the sprite move more fluidly and less jarring than its previous version, while power up's removal can allow room for other strategies such as paladin tanking.
