Featured Updates - New Class Scholar
New Class Scholar
Developer Commentary:
"Nothin' me hammers can't solve!"
As a scholar studying gravity, Scholar controls gravity based on the power contained in the Gravity Cores, often brandishing Hammers effortlessly as if they're mere toys.
With her Hammers firmly gripped in each hand, Scholar unleashes devastating strikes upon her foes, obliterating them with ruthless precision. She fearlessly delves into the spatial rifts warped by gravity, leaving no trace of her adversaries.
Evading the wrath of Scholar's Hammers that she brandishes to perform unpredictable attacks will prove to be no small feat.
- The new class Scholar will be Ascended upon character creation.
ㆍ Upon reaching Lv 10, you can acquire the title "Controller of Gravity."
- Added a character slot with the new class update.

Improvements
Black Shrine
Developer Commentary:
In the Black Shrine content, you observe and learn the different characteristics and attack patterns of each boss to successfully defeat them, and once you do, you can challenge higher difficulty levels. To provide a more enjoyable experience in looting items, we’ve made Embers of Hongik and Flame of Hongik to be obtainable as main rewards in the content.
Previously, Adventurers had to defeat higher difficulty bosses to obtain Embers of Hongik and Flame of Hongik, and we’ve noticed that the necessity to challenge higher difficulty levels may have come as a burden to some. Some factors are taken into account when it comes to difficulty, and we thought that the continuous lack of the provision of information on these factors has added to the burden for our Adventurers.
If we’ve provided more information on the proper level at which you can challenge these bosses to begin with, our Adventurers may have been able to get a better idea of how difficult each boss is and challenge them based on their progression. However, the lack of information on the Land of the Morning Light Energy system and level of difficulty may have raised doubts about the difficulty for our Adventurers and have increased the burden on them.
Therefore, we thought it necessary to improve this. In the last update, we first introduced ways to assess the difficulty level and make information pertaining to it more intuitive. Additionally, we adjusted the effects of the CP applied per Energy Point, reducing the overall difficulty.
And this week, we've adjusted all clear rewards to be the same from Calamity 1 to Calamity 5, while maintaining the differentiation of the initial clear rewards. We have made it possible to still maintain some parts that are challenging. And we are planning another update to reinforce the sense of challenge. The appearance of the yet-to-be-added Boss from the Land of the Morning Light, along with Calamity 6, is forthcoming.
- Changed the completion rewards for Calamity 1 to Calamity 4 to be the same as that of Calamity 5.
ㆍ Prior to the update maintenance, any extra entries and Black Shrine Entry Passes you owned have been retroactively applied as completion rewards for Calamity 1 before the update and sent to your mailbox.
ㆍ There will be no changes to the basic weekly entries.
Item
- Added "Forest Dew" items that work just like the Dawnlight Dew items to the list of obtainable items from defeating monsters in Northeast and West Kamasylvia.
ㆍYou can use the Forest Dew items to receive Fairy trait quests, excluding Twinkle and Intellect.
- Improved the details on how to acquire certain "Unknown Memories" and "War Horn: Dim Tree Spirit."
- Improved to be able to enter Hadum: Kzarka and Hadum: Red Nose without a Holy Vial of Light cost.
System
- Added a CP by class filter from the Rank -> CP Rank window.
ㆍ Rankings will be displayed up to the top 100.
ㆍ With the above changes, the CP Rank will be updated during the maintenance.
- Improved game performance through engine optimization.
ㆍ Frame rate will increase on low-spec devices.
ㆍ Device overheating will decrease.
- Improved to move directly from the current location without going through a nearby Altar of Memory when using the Great Desert, Everfrost, and Land of the Morning Light buttons from the quick move window.
UI
- Added a Whisper notification icon to the Chat UI.
- Adjusted the size of the icons for the chat notifications for Guild and Blood Kin from the Chat UI.
- Added rewards obtained from Boss Knowledge and Mysterious Dark Chest to be displayed on the list of items obtainable from the Blood Kin Rush.
