После сегодняшнего рестарта в игровой системе произойдут серьезные изменения:
During the maintenance period on Tuesday, October 24, between 10:30 AM and 12:30 PM CDT, the following changes will be made:
Changes to Player Death Penalties
The following changes have been made to death penalties of player characters.
When characters die, they will now receive a penalty of reduced combat capability at a certain rate (about the same rate as the previous item drop rate).
- Unchaotic character: No items are dropped at death.
- Chaotic character: Items are dropped at a lower rate than before. PK count still determines item drops, while Karma influences susceptibility to the combat penalty.
The penalty for death is applied cumulatively. If you die again after the penalty has been applied, the new penalty is applied on top of the existing penalty.
The penalty can be viewed in the Status window and it has a permanent duration.
You can recover your combat capability level by using Scroll: Recovery items. There are recovery scrolls for each level and each character must use one appropriate for his level (per expertise skill). Chaotic characters cannot use recovery scrolls.
You can also recover your combat capability level through Black Judge NPCs for a fee, including chaotic characters. The Black Judges are in Floran Village, the Wastelands, and Hardin's Academy.
Charms of Luck have been changed to have the effect of preventing this new penalty to combat capability.
Skills

- You cannot summon party members to battle grounds, certain raid boss regions, and the Olympiad Stadium. You cannot summon party members who are engaged in combat or dead.

Items
Instant Effect Potions
New instant effect potions have been added.
There are No Grade - Grade S instant effect potions and one can only use potions corresponding to expertise level. For example, a character of level 76 can only use Grade S potions.
- Elixir of Life – HP Recovery
- Elixir of Mental Strength – MP Recovery
- Elixir of CP – CP Recovery
The instant potions can be obtained from stores and through common crafting.
There are potion grade restrictions depending on the size of the town. For example, all grades of Elixir of CP are available at the NPC stores; No Grade - Grade S are available in the Town of Aden, and only No Grade - Grade A are available in the Town of Giran.
- Elixir of Life: No Grade - Grade C can be purchased at stores.
- Elixir of Mental Strength: No Grade - Grade D can be purchased at stores.

The common crafting recipes can be obtained through clan hall production.
Instant Effect Items (Herbs)
New instant effect items have been added for more convenient solo hunting.
The effects of buff-type herbs and common buffs are not both applied. For example, if you acquire Herb of Power or Herb of the Warrior when you are under the effect of the Might buff, the effect of Might doesn’t apply as long as the herb effect is active. The existing Might buff effect starts only after the herb loses its effect.
Luxury Shop
Items have been added to the Luxury Shop. Soul Crystals Stage 7 through Stage 10 are now sold at the Luxury Shop in the Town of Giran.
Other Changes
The weight of the following items have been significantly reduced.
The re-use time for CP Potion and Greater CP Potion has been significantly reduced.

- CP Potion: From 110 to 25
- Greater CP Potion: From 500 to 100
You can exchange B Grade weapons (Sword, Bow, Blunt, Polearm) for fist weapons through Blacksmith of Mammon. However, you cannot exchange the fist weapons for another type of weapons. (Arthro Nail and Bellion Cestus are the applicable B Grade fist weapons.)
Quests
The number of quests that can be simultaneously taken has been significantly increased to 25 from 15.
You receive Dimension Diamonds that enable you to purchase a Scroll of Escape to Town when you start the second class transfer quest. If you are in the middle of a quest, then you receive it at the end of the quest.
In the “Enhance Your Weapon” quest, more power has been added to the blade to eliminate the possibility that the Soul Crystal might break during the Stage 1- Stage 10 soul collection process.
Interface
Changes to the Buff Window
A “de-buff” window has been created, separate from the buff window, where de-buffs inflicted by danger areas or NPCs are displayed. There are a maximum of 10 de-buffs and 10 toggle skill buffs that can be displayed.
The maximum number of buffs visible in the general buff window has increased to 24 from 20.
In order to increase the maximum number in the general buff window, one must have the Ancient Book – Divine Inspiration and learn the Divine Inspiration skill. There is one buff slot increase every time the skill level improves.
Clan Window
The clan affiliation change function has been added. A clan member no longer has to be dismissed in order for his affiliation to be changed. For example, a clan member who is affiliated with a Royal Guard can change his affiliation and join a direct clan, Royal Guard or an Order of Knights without having to leave the clan and re-join.
This function is available only for clan lords and changing the affiliation of the Academy members is not allowed. In addition, it is not allowed to change the affiliation of a direct clan member by making him an Academy member.
Party Matching Window
One can view, invite, and whisper by going to the party matching waiting list. Party members as well as a party leader can now invite others.
Mini-Map
The Adventurer’s Guide Book functions have been integrated with the mini-map. The Adventurer’s Guide Book items are no longer usable and can be sold to the NPC store at the original price.
The location of the cursed weapon Zariche can now be identified on the mini-map.
Shortcut Window
The shortcut window can now be expanded to three levels. Click the arrows at the top of the shortcut window to control the levels. The expanded shortcut window (levels two and three) can be used only by mouse. The shortcut expansion functions are not supported for the game pad.
Miscellaneous
Useful tips for game playing can be viewed on the loading screen. Tips can be turned on and off in the game option window.
A new function to hide dropped items on the ground has been added. Turn this function on and off in the game Options window. If you turn this function on, because the items that are dropped on the ground are hidden from your screen, you can significantly reduce lag arising from the client. Because the items dropped on the ground are hidden, you cannot obtain them by mouse but only by using the Pick Up button.
Changes have been have been made so that all the windows can be displayed again by pressing ALT+H after they have been hidden by ALT+H.
An issue where the shortcut bars could not be used when the interface was hidden (ALT+H) has been corrected.
An issue with the clan hall buff windows has been corrected.
