Job Refresh

1. Treasure Hunter

1) The items in treasure chests have been revamped.

- Previously: Mithril Stone, Mithril Piece, Mithril Crystal, as well as Weak Alchemist Elixir, Medium-Strength Alchemist Elixir and Strong Alchemist Elixir

- Now: Hardened Mithril and Alchemist Elixir Essence

2) Mithril Stones, Pieces and Crystals as well as Weak, Medium-Strength and Strong Alchemist Elixirs already in your possession

can be exchanged with Aranka for Hardened Mithril and Alchemist Elixir Essence.

The remaining number of treasure chests that can be destroyed is updated every day at 9 AM.

Previously	Now
Improved upgrading using Mithril Pieces, Mithril Stones and Mithril Crystals has a higher probability of success and can reach higher upgrade levels.	Improved upgrading only consumes 1 Blessed Upgrade Stone, 1 Fluorite Stone and 1 Fluorite Crystal. The amount of Hardened Mithril required for the Blacksmith Upgrade varies depending on the Blacksmith’s level. You can obtain a Blacksmith Hammer at the Eldrit Anvil.

2) The materials required for improved dismantling have been changed.

Previously: Mithril Stones, Mithril Pieces and Mithril Crystals; Now: Hardened Mithril

(Improved dismantling requires Hardened Mithril. The amount of Hardened Mithril required varies depending on upgrade level.)

3) The Black Smith Upgrade and Blacksmith Dismantling functions can be performed from the Blacksmith window.

- Improved upgrading using the Blacksmith Hammer doubles the probability of a successful upgrade.

(Cannot be used together with El’s Hammer.)

7) The number of available Blacksmith Hammers is only displayed in the Improved Upgrading and Eldrit Anvil tabs.

(Blacksmith Hammers are not placed in your inventory.)

The higher the Blacksmith’s level, the higher the maximum number of Blacksmith Hammers the Blacksmith can possess.

If the maximum quantity has been reached, the Eldrit Anvil can’t be used.

9) When upgrading from levels 4 to 5, 5 to 6, 6 to 7, 7 to 8 and 8 to 9, the Blacksmith Upgrade is protected from downgrades and resets without having to use any Fluorite Stones.

[Adjustments to some Basic Upgrade probabilities for the Blacksmith Upgrade revamp]

1) Some probabilities for the Basic Upgrade have been adjusted for the Blacksmith revamp.

2) Upgrading from levels 4 to 5, 5 to 6 and 6 to 7 doesn’t consume any Fluorite Stones.

Not consuming Fluorite Stones alters the probabilities. These are distributed as follows:

※ These are the Basic Upgrade probabilities based on level without the influence of El’s Hammer (which doubles the chances of success).

5. The Blacksmith’s Improved Upgrading Function (Old) Will No Longer Be Available after Wednesday’s Maintenance (8/12/2021)

Improvement Update:

1. Improvements in the Supply and Demand of Magic Crystals

After the main content update, the consumption of Magic Crystals has increased and thus determines the prices of crafting items. For this reason, we’ve decided that adjusting the supply and demand should be top priority.

Supply and demand should be made more convenient for both new and experienced adventurers.

- Magic Crystals, like other materials (Star Powder, herbs, Spice Powder, Fresh Water etc.) are available in all regions of Elios.

- It has been established that one Giant Magic Crystal can be exchanged for 100 Magic Crystals.

※ Even Giant Magic Crystals you obtained before the revamp can now be exchanged for 100 Magic Crystals.

2. Quest, Title and Other Improvements Affecting Gameplay

Some points that disrupt and complicate the flow of the game due to repetition or certain situations have been improved to make the whole game more enjoyable.

3. Improvements to the [CoBo] Wild Little Poru Pet Awarded in the Development Quest

Pet Pick Up Item Aura is a very important item needed for the game. Pet Pick Up Item Aura (time-limited) can only be obtained through quests, making the game harder for new adventurers and anyone returning after a long time away.

The following improvements were decided upon after consulting a number of adventurers:

- The [CoBo] Wild Little Poru pet available from the Furious Woodland Spirits (Elsword to Ain) / The First Teacher (Laby) / A Thousand-Year-Old Soul (Noah) quests will be awarded with 1x Pet Pick Up Item Aura (no time limit) from now on.

- Anyone who obtained a [CoBo] Wild Little Poru pet before the update will also receive 1x Pet Pick Up Item Aura as a one-off.

4. Adjustments to Some Master’s Road Dungeon Difficulty Levels

In Master’s Road (Hell) dungeons, you’ll earn extra time when the Groggy combat pattern is performed. The dungeons are designed so that you’ll always be able to play them through when the Groggy combat pattern is activated multiple times.However, adventurers must endure quite a few Groggy combat patterns during the development phase in order to play through dungeons in Hell mode. This will mean investing a lot of time.In order to decrease playing time, the damage you take from NPCs in Master’s Road dungeons will be reduced.In addition, the difficulty levels of dungeons that have a lower play-through rate compared to others will be adjusted.

General: Hell

5. Adjustments to the Difficulty Levels of Some Pruinaum Dungeons

After playing through a stage in Frostland, all group members must gather in order to enter the next stage. However, the gathering of the members is complicated by gimmicks (devices) and is thus very time-consuming. Obstacles like this have been reduced.In order to shorten the playing time and make it a more pleasant experience, disruptive elements in the Abandoned Village such as Poisonous Plants and Bomb Plants have been reduced, and some adjustments have also been made in the summoning area.

Frostland

- The ice treads in stage 1 remain for longer. - If you fall down in stages 1 or 2 after the End Stage mission, you won’t be revived exactly where you fell but a little further ahead.

Abandoned Village

- The Quark Stone Throw cooldown is extended. - The radius within which Poisonous Plants can recognise the adventurer has been expanded. (You’re invulnerable before the Poisonous Plant detects you.) - Special active skills can now damage Poisonous Plants as well. - If you’re attacked by a Bomb Plant, you become immobile but are no longer thrown to the ground. (This also applies to Bomb Plants in other Pruinaum dungeons.) - The maximum value for defeating Quarks/Antiquarks in stage 3 has been decreased to 60 (previously: 100). - To activate the debuff that weakens the boss in stage 3, 20/40/60 opponents must be defeated (previously: 25/50/100). - The max. duration of stage 3 has been reduced. - Meson is no longer invulnerable while performing forward rolls. - When Meson’s HP falls below 50%, the combat pattern where he is initially invulnerable and then performs a forward roll attack is no longer activated. ※ The ED and EXP received from monsters in the Abandoned Village is not influenced by the shortened stage playing time and will not change as part of the update.

6. Reduction in Experience Points Required for EL Resonance Grade Levels 1 to 300

In order to allow new adventurers and anyone returning after a break to develop more quickly and reach the necessary Resonance Grade required for advanced play, the experience points required for this have been reduced for Resonance Grade levels 1 to 300.

- The Resonance Grade experience points required for levels 1 to 100 are reduced by about 50%.

- The Resonance Grade experience points required for levels 101 to 200 are reduced by about 30%.

- The Resonance Grade experience points required for levels 201 to 300 are reduced by about 20%.

※ The Resonance Grade level and experience points you achieved before the update will remain unchanged.

※ You can reach a maximum Resonance Grade level of 999.

7. Resonance Grade Level Support Quest

Support quests for various Resonance Grade levels have been added so that adventurers can gain more experience depending on their Resonance Grade.

※ Each account can take part in these quests once. Once you’ve reached a certain Resonance Grade level, you’ll receive the appropriate rewards via the quests.
