CONTENTS

Edania 3-Player Party Zone - Dark Energy Floodlands

A new party monster zone, "Dark Energy Floodlands," has been added to Edania.
As Edania remains a popular destination for many Adventurers, we have set the difficulty of this new zone so it can serve as a solid stepping stone to higher-tier zones.
 
Dark Energy Floodlands is a party zone spread across Edania, with each area structured around the influence of its respective Edana. As a party monster zone, Marni's Realm is not available. Instead, the zone is designed so that if the Edana ruling a particular area shows an "aggressive stance," you can move to another area and begin subjugating again. In this update, Dark Energy Floodlands will be added to the Orbita and Zephyros regions, and Edana's Blessing effects will also apply separately by region.
 
We hope this update gives Adventurers who prefer party play even more options and makes PvE even more enjoyable.
  • Added a new Edania party Monster Zone, "Dark Energy Floodlands", where Failed Edanas swarm in.

The remnants of Enslar, Cartian, and Caphras have fused into the Source of the Dark Energy, shrouding the surroundings in a twisted veil.
Drawn to its overwhelming power, the Failed Edanas became hollow husks, unable to escape the veil, and now linger nearby.
The moment you touch the Source of Dark Energy, the magic within the veil will surge, and the crazed Failed Edanas, stripped of reason, will begin their frenzied assault.

MOUNT

Dream Horse Skill Control Changes

Krogdalo can transform into any Mythical or Dream Horse and use all of their unique skills. However, because some skills across different Mythical and Dream Horses share similar controls, Adventurers have often experienced accidental skill activation or confusion while controlling Krogdalo. To address this, we have updated the skill controls to provide a smoother, more intuitive experience.
  • Changed the controls for the following Dream Horse skills:
Dream Horse - Skill Controls (Before) Controls (After)
Diné - Earth of Life E Shift + E
Mythical Doom - Infernal Legion W+E Shift + Q
  • [Mythical Doom] Infernal Legion - Changed to no longer require a preceding skill.

The auto-open function for the roulette-style UI that was added on Feb 12 has been further improved.

Processing UI Improvements

In this update, we have improved the overall Processing UI for better accessibility. As it is a frequently used function involving many materials and Knowledge entries, we focused on making it easier to see what can and cannot be processed.
Previously, you had to hover your cursor over each Knowledge entry to see its details. Now, the description is displayed directly at the bottom of the UI. Additionally, selecting Processing Knowledge will now show the successful recipes much like how Cooking and Alchemy works.
We will continue to look into frequently used functions to provide a more intuitive and convenient experience for all Adventurers.
