CONTENTS
Inland Fishing Profit Improvements

- White Crucian Carp have started appearing along the shore next to the Duvencrune Hot Spring.
-
- Hammer Mackerel, Yellow Croaker, and Bluefire Starfish have also started to appear along the Altinova coast.
-
- Increased the spawn rate of White Crucian Carp by about 4.9x in the existing fishing spots near Duvencrune.
Farming Byproduct Adjustments
In Dec 2025, the Contribution Point byproducts for most Life skills were rebalanced. For Farming, the quantity of Blush Leaves obtained from breeding "magical crops" was significantly higher than other Life Skill content. As such, we've adjusted these values to maintain overall balance.Additionally, we increased the drop chance and reduced the quantity variance of Blush Leaves for crops leading up to the magical grade tier for a more stable and consistent yield.
Finally, since it was previously difficult to gain Farming EXP through harvesting, we have increased the EXP gained from harvesting.
- Adjusted the amount and drop rate of obtaining Blush Leaf through Plant Breeding as follows:
- Normal and Special crops refer to those that take up 1 grid slot in a garden.
- Magical crops refer to those that take up 5 slots in a garden.
| Type | Qty | Drop Rate |
| General | 4-10 → 1-3 | 5x higher |
| High-quality | 4-10 → 2-4 | 5x higher |
| Special | 4-10 → 3-4 | 5x higher |
| Magical | 20-50 → 20-22 | No change |
- Increased the Farming EXP gained from Harvesting.
- Adjusted Harvesting to grant about 80 percent of the Farming EXP earned from Plant Breeding.

Oduksini, having regained its power within the deep darkness, has been added to the Black Shrine at Calamity 8, 9, and 10.This new Oduksini will overwhelm the battlefield with greater ferocity than before. If you fail to properly guide the energy emitted during combat, the tide of battle can turn against you in an instant. As the final boss of Donghae Province, Oduksini has a higher min AP requirement than the Apex Changui. Consequently, the loot obtained upon a successful Boss Blitz has also been increased.

※ For Calamity 8 or higher, stats from Light Orb (Sun, Moon, Earth Aura) are not applied. Only the stats from your character's equipped gear at entry will count.
※ Weekly Boss Blitz attempts are shared with the current Black Shrine - Donghae (Solo).
- Weekly Boss Blitz rewards for each difficulty are as follows:
