Instance Credits, Resource Interface, and more!
This update introduces Instance Credits earned through subscriptions and Nation War participation, alongside improvements to the Instance and Resources interfaces, chat reporting, and Crimson Earring upgrades. It also improves client performance and stability, fixes several gameplay and compatibility issues, and increases Blade Warrior damage in Infestation.
General Changes
- Updated several localizations.
- Fixed issues with certain cosmetic armors that prevented wings from appearing or caused equipped items to appear slightly out of position.
- Fixed a compatibility issue with some aggressive antivirus programs that could interrupt communication with the server. This could cause crashes when switching lobbies or display "Server Not Found" messages.
- Aquamarine Gems can now also be used to upgrade Crimson Earrings. When an Aquamarine Gem is used, the upgrade success rate is reduced by 10%, and the normal cooldown still applies.
- Divine Gems can no longer be used to add a third stat to Crimson Earrings. A Celestine Gem must now be used instead.
- Expanded the chat-reporting system so players can select and report multiple messages at once instead of reporting each message individually.
- Improved the Resources Interface by organizing resources into expandable and collapsible sections.
- Fixed an issue that could prevent skills from switching correctly when rapidly switching between them.
Infestation Activity
- Max points was increased to 450 prior to this update.
- Increased Blade Warrior damage. With average equipment, they should now take approximately 7 seconds to defeat normal monsters and 18 seconds to defeat empowered monsters, down from 8 and 20 seconds.
Client Optimizations
- Made additional optimizations to reduce stuttering and FPS drops when pulling large groups of monsters.
- Fixed several uncommon crashes caused by the Clear Cache feature.
Nation War & Instances
- Following our discussions on Discord, Instance Credits have now been added! You can earn them through your subscription and Nation War participation, then use them to enter instances without spending Ladian's Grace.
- Active subscribers can log in each UTC day to refill their balance to 3 Subscription Credits. These remain available while the subscription is active and expire when it ends.
- Winning isn't the only way to benefit from Nation War anymore! Eligible participants on both teams can earn:
- 2 credits for participation
- 1 extra credit per 1,000,000 PvE damage
- 1 extra credit per 150,000 PvP damage
- 1 extra credit per 3 qualifying PvP kills
- Rewards are capped at 5 credits per war, and expire 24 hours after being awarded. AFK, removed, or disqualified players are excluded.
- Payment is automatic: free entry benefits apply first, followed by Subscription Credits, Instance Credits, and finally Ladian's Grace. Nation War winners keep their free entry without spending credits.
- Credits are shared across your account, with separate balances for Season and non-Season characters.
- The Instance interface has received a few display changes to support instance credits. Check the Instance Interface to see your balances and next expiration.
- The Nation Wars Waiting Room Blacksmith can now be used to craft potions without being near the Potion Merchant.
