Server Changelog

[GM-Ayu]

Game Mechanics Change

• Whip weapons have identical size modifiers as Musical Instruments, using size modifiers of 75/100/75 for small/medium/large targets respectively (this custom change was undone some how during host change)
• Star Gladiator now requires the same amount of exp as Soul Linker to level, instead of its extremely slowed leveling speed in official servers
• Lif's Mental Strength cooldown nerfed from 3s to 25s (official is 300s, so this is still a huge buff compare to vanilla pre-re RO). This will weaken Lif's strength if Lif dies frequently as it cannot recast Mental Strength immediately upon resurrection, but it will have no effect on Lif with some staying power or regular Lif farming. This should only weaken the case of doing Lif-Wave Tactics to continuously spam resurrection on Lif to keep her fighting against things that kill her very quickly.
  

Item Rebalance

• Joker pet should provide a bonus to steal at the proper rate of 5% (up from 0.1%), but down from described rate of 10%
• Aumdura's Grace no longer provides any MDEF (down from 1 MDEF)
  

Quality of Life Improvement

• A new maintenance mode is introduced such that healer and warper are disabled during a maintenance
• Royal Gold Bullions can be purchased via the new shop interface so that it is faster to purchase them in bulk. You will need to buy Royal Gold Bullion using a character with Discount to obtain it at 500k npc price.
  

Bugfixes

• Soul Link should not be removed by logout, Dispel or Clearance any more
• Tumbling should not be removed by Dispel or Clearance any more

• Activation rate of combo skills due to Friend of the Sun, Moon and Stars from an ally Star Gladiator should not be removed by enemy Dispel or Clearance any more
  
  (Note: We cannot fix the other elemental warm winds yet since they are tied to other skills that should be dispelable.)
• Fixed an issue with Lif's Emergency Avoid having the wrong skill cooldown at lower than max level
• Silbertiger card effect should now persist on death
• All costumes in weapons tab should be moved to armor tab properly now
  

Item Description Changes

All item that mentions the increase of damage now specifies if it is Physical or Magical. There are too many items impacted by this change. Please report any items that mentions increase in damage, but did not specify its damage type.

All items that has "increase resistance against x enemies" have been reworded to the standard "Reduce damage from x enemies".

All items that mentions a chance of causing status effects on the target when the user inflicts damage have their required damage type specified. There are too many items impacted by this change. Please report any items that mentions inflicting status effects, but did not specify the required damage type to trigger the infliction of said status effects.

All items that mentions an increase to ranged damage now clarifies that this is for ranged physical attacks only. This does not apply to Blitz Beat, Falcon Assault, Acid Demonstration or any spells, even though Noxious and ranged damage reductions apply against the damage of these skills.

Piercing effects standardized to use DEF or MDEF to refer to physical defense or magic defense. There are too many items impacted by this change. Please report any items that mentions piercing effects, but did not use this new convention.

Please note that there are skills that do not use cards that boost damage and the items will not specify these exceptions, such as Cart Termination, a part of Soul Breaker, and Grand Cross. Furthermore, there are some attacks that are neither physical or magical, such as Falcon Assault, Claymore Trap and Acid Demonstration (even though some of these effects are negated by Pneuma) so please keep that in mind.

Please note that there are skills that specifically cannot inflict bonus status effects, unless the item effect specifically mentions that it is adding a status effect on a particular attack (once again, such as Cart Termination.) Items will not specify these exceptions to the rule, so please keep that in mind.
