Announcing the February Version Update Well met, adventurers!
Matsui here with some information on the next version update.
I’d like to discuss the content of the first version update of 2016, which is scheduled to go live on Wednesday, February 10.
There are two major items that I’d like to shed some details on.
New notorious monsters will be added to Fei’Yin, Gustav Tunnel, and Cape Terrigan. As you are well aware of by now, one of our goals with Wanted battles is to provide a way to butt heads with some of our more memorable notorious monsters.
This go around, square off against your favorite morbol in Fei’Yin, a goblin ranger in Gustav Tunnel, and a manticore in Cape Terrigan. We’re currently working to bring you a souped-up version of these stories antagonists, and hope that you find the rewards for vanquishing them useful in future battles.
- Relic, Mythic, Empyrean, and Ergon Weapon Reforging
We will be adding a method to reforge item level 119 relic, mythic, empyrean, and ergon weapons. The precise method for relic, mythic, and empyrean weapon differs depending on whether or not the weapon has an afterglow effect.
Those wishing to reach the pinnacle of achievement will definitely want to give reforging another go!
Other changes coming in February are adjustments to melee and ranged damage calculations, Domain Invasion balance adjustments, automaton adjustments, and a fleshing out of the item sorting feature.
We are also working on quality of life improvements such as the ability to purchase all items required for Wildskeeper Reives at once, new categories for Geas Fete-related key items, and alter ego adjustments.
Specific items included in the February version update are as given below. Some of these items are still in testing, and as such certain entries may not make it in time for February.
