Reminder of Nerf Incoming
June 28th is when Mavka boosts end. We will also change the sale price of "Crystal Mirror" when Mavka's boost ends. GM team will reserve the right to end the boost and also perform the intended nerf on "Crystal Mirror" any time after June 28th. We strongly suggest you to sell all Crystal Mirrors ASAP.
Inns Changes
All inns will provide the 15 min Small Life Potion as a permanent effect.
Item Balance Changes
Bloody Branch Changes
- Deviruchiring replaced by Muspelite Tree
- Rainbowring replaced by Muspelite Aranae
- Arc Angeling replaced by Grayphon
- Mysteltainn added
- Tirfing added
- Executioner added
- Nightmarish Amon Ra added
- Tendrilrion added
- Hardrock Mammoth added
- Leak added
- Hollow Poring added
Some previously excluded MVPs are added as power creep in the server has made once "too good to allow players to fight without exp penalty" MVPs to be only on par, or below the "best" possible MVP spawn from the list, Gloom Under Night.
3 undesirable minibosses got upgraded to better minibosses with more favored loot/card, and the pool expansion should be a net positive for new loot variety. Statistically, the chance of getting an OCA via Bloody Branches is a net increase since there are now 2 more MVPs who can drop OCA, despite the 3 doomed swords being added. This is considered a buff in almost all cases, so I did not "warn" anyone with a prior announcement.
Wrapped Mask Changes
New
Crow Tengu Mask has been added to the Wrapped Mask list.
Bombardier Set Mini-Rework (Gunslinger Class Set)
Since the GS rework will be miles away than original plan as we want to focus on host server change, we'll need a "WIP" effect now as the original effect is full of bugs, as shown by many players submitting tickets about it. The new "WIP" effect focuses more on def piercing raw damage for now instead of status of the bombs which would be much more interesting... so effect now is much more boring, but at least it'll be functional.
Note: you must unequip and re-equip all set pieces for new effect to take place
Bombardier Set Equipment Changes
- Bombardier's Boots: Flee + 5 => +10
- Bombardier's Trickcoin: now has a bonus Dex + 2 effect
- Bombardier's Bombcase: old effect removed. New effect: If Grenade Launcher is equipped, pierces 20% of the target's DEF
Bombardier Set Bonuses
- No after-cast delay increase penalty
- Add a 25% resistance against Stun
- Pierces 15% of the target's DEF => 20% (total 40% with the bombcase)
- Lv 99 bonus: further pierces by 10% => 20%, for a total of 25% => 60% (including the bombcase), and another 25% resistance against Stun
Since it's buffs in every way possible, no refunds will be provided.
Frozen Set Mini-Rework (Wizard Class Set)
Deluge (and waterball) was originally casted because that is one way to slow targets down to increase the defensive prowess for Wizards. Now we have a much better and fitting status worked out, so new tech allow us to stick to the theme while being less clunky to hope for getting hit to pull off a gimmick spell that is not related to the theme. New effects focus on survival and slowing/freezing the targets in short/melee range.
Note: you must unequip and re-equip all set pieces for new effect to take place
Frozen Set Equipment Changes
- Frozen Staff's def/mdef boost is changed to standard 5% activation rate, which is the standard activation rate for all spellcasting autobonus effects
- Frozen Staff no longer has skill delay reduction, as this is an unintuitive derived stat in pre-renewal mechanics
- Frozen Orb adds a 5% chance to inflict Frost status when physically attacked
Frozen Set Combo Effects
Old effects are completely removed for the following:
- Add a 50% resistance against Freeze
- When physically attacked, add a 10% chance to cause Frost effect on the enemy. (for a total of 15% when Frozen Orb is included)
- For every level of Ice Wall mastered, reduce all short range damage taken by 4% and increase Max HP by 100.
- For High Wizard: Further add a 50% resistance against Freeze.
- For High Wizard: When casting Frost Nova, cast Level 3 Heal on the user.
Players have until
July 31st to submit requests for GM to safely remove all cards from any Frozen equipment set pieces due to this change. You will get to keep both the gear and the removed cards.
Fruit Basket Changes
Fruit Basket will be customized to have the following rates:
- Apple 8.77%
- Banana 8.77%
- Grape 8.77%
- Mastela Fruit 5.26%
- Pumpkin 8.77%
- Lemon 7.02%
- Prickly Fruit 5.26%
- Strawberry 7.02%
- Orange 7.02%
- Red Prickly Fruit 5.26%
- Yggdrasil Berry 1.75%
- Yggdrasil Seed 3.51%
- Solid Peach 8.77%
- Cacao 8.77%
- Mora Mandarin 5.26%
TLDR: Yggdrasil Seed rate went up, no change to Yggdrasil Berry, overall buff but Mora Mandarin got rarer indirectly
Other Item Balance Changes
- Dreamstone Axe now uses Blood Sucking instead of Energy Drain
- Dreamstone Axe now uses Level 2 Vampire Gift instead of Level 1 Vampire Gift when it is refined to level 7 or higher
- Blood Sucker no longer has a 5% chance to drain 5% of damage dealt (this original effect effectively makes a 3k damage AOE attack against 20 mobs to heal 150 on average. That's effectively useless.)
- Blood Sucker has a 5% chance to cast Level 1 Blood Sucking when physically attacking
Warzone Changes
As some players chose to retire their warzone mobs and refunded them for points, please see the wiki entry
here to see who are the lists of warzone monster mobs.
Dead Branch Changes
- Current warzone mobs added to the list
This is GM following up on a previously broken promise that the GM team owed to all Warzone mob creators. On behalf of the GM team, I apologize again to all Warzone mob creators that this was not implemented sooner.
Monster Balance Changes
- Hollow Poring INT increased from 91 to 121
- Gioia INT increased from 120 to 150
- Gioia attack animation sped up from 2.59 sec to 1.59 sec. Finally, it attacks faster than a poring.
- Scaraba Queen now uses Level 11 Heal instead of Level 10 Heal to follow standard MVP healing abilities, and can heal herself to full instead of only up to 30%
- Nightmarish Amon Ra now drops Yggdrasil Berry at 100% instead of Oridecon 100% as its MVP drop (It already drops Oridecon as a regular loot)
- Nightmarish Amon Ra now drops Hat of the Sun God[0] at 0.3% as a new loot
- Nightmarish Amon Ra now drops Sage's Diary at 12%, up from 6%
- Skoll drops Hat of the Sun God[0] at 0.18% instead of Emblem of the Sun God, which is a god item ingredient (but can also be used to make Hat of the Sun God)
