After the skill balance adjustments, detailed skill adjustments for each class will proceed sequentially in the second half of the year.

2. Skill Acquisition Requirement Adjustments

The existing skill acquisition requirements forced players to use excessive skill points due to mandatory skill tree prerequisites in order to learn certain skills. Therefore, except for the acquisition requirements of some essential skills, the requirements will be significantly relaxed in order to increase the freedom of skill builds, as part of the 'Skill Acquisition Requirement Adjustment'. Additional adjustments may be made to the 'Skill Acquisition Requirement Adjustment' during the detailed skill adjustments afterward, so we ask for a lot of feedback from adventurers of each class.

3. Item Usability Improvements

In order to improve the usability of skills and items, the price and weight of some items will be adjusted.

1) Item Price Adjustments

Item Price Adjustments
Display Name Type Previous Price Adjusted Price
Magnifier Consumable 40 1
Red Potion Consumable 10 2
Orange Potion Consumable 50 10
Yellow Potion Consumable 180 45

Scarlet Point Etc 0.5 0.1
Lime Green Point Etc 0.5 0.1

Additionally, the reuse delay for Blue Syrup will be removed, and Genetics will be able to craft higher-tier syrup potions using syrups as materials.

Concentrated Blue Potion A potion born from concentrating Blue Syrups once more. It has become lighter and its usage efficiency has increased. However, because it is a highly concentrated potion, there are some restrictions on consuming it. Recovers approximately 360 SP. Required Level: 180 Weight: 0.2
Concentrated Gold Potion A potion born from mixing White Syrups and Yellow Syrups, then concentrating them once more. It has become lighter and its usage efficiency has increased. However, because it is a highly concentrated potion, there are restrictions on consuming it. Recovers approximately 2750 HP. Required Level: 180 Weight: 0.2

4. New Area – Nifflheim: Banquet Hall of the Dead

A banquet hall where the dead roam has opened in the Nifflheim area.

The damp hall at dusk, lit by a single flickering candle, is filled with an unfamiliar scent and ancient breath. Only residents of darkness may pass through its doors, and within, death and life sit together, tilting their cups. The eternally unfading banquet of the dead continues to whisper on, even at this very moment.

Adventurers who have reached level 210 can attend the Banquet Hall of the Dead to enjoy new quests, collect new equipment items, and explore top-tier dungeons.

Soul Witch: Please bring me a soul you've just harvested.

<Collector> Soul Witch

The Uninvited One: My invitation burned in the fire, and my existence remained as a curse..

<Hunter of the Four Directions> The Uninvited One

JACKPOT

<Guardian Slot Machine - nif_in 173 77>

Attend the banquet and become the main character.

5. Glast Heim Area Overhaul

The Glast Heim area has been overhauled to become a region worth hunting in for adventurers around level 100.

1) The experience points given by monsters will be significantly increased. 2) The reward experience for area quests will be adjusted to suit the area's level. 3) The prices of most materials and equipment items that only drop in Glast Heim will be adjusted. 4) Temporal Crystals, Coagulated Spells, Temporal Armor, and Temporal Boots will now drop from all monsters in Glast Heim.

This overhaul is intended to adjust the Glast Heim area so that it can be used as a field for continuous farming at an appropriate level, allowing adventurers to farm and enhance high-tier Temporal equipment while leveling at the same time. The existing MD (old Glast Heim) will remain unchanged, and the purpose is to relax farming so that high-tier Temporal equipment can be obtained through farming within the dungeon in addition to the MD.
