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.

1) The number of conditions for the development quest Soul Relic Requiem Weapons has been reduced.

2) The completion conditions for master class change and master skill quests have been changed.

Conditions that needed to be fulfilled in special master dungeons can now be met in all master dungeons.

3) The number of some conditions for master class change and master skill quests has been reduced.

4) The number of some conditions for obtaining dungeon titles (Varnimyr Raid, Rigomor, Master’s Road and Pruinaum) has been reduced.

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.

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.

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.

※ Even if you reached a certain Resonance Grade level prior to the revamp, you’ll need to fulfil the new completion conditions in order to get the reward.
