Base Value Enchantment Power

When we introduced the unique item crafting, we announced that we will make sure that you will be able to define the power range of base values in the future as well. Coming with Release 251, ore/yarn with a higher rarity guarantees that you will get base values within a specific power range.



This change also applies to equipment dropped by bosses on higher difficulties – that means that all dropped items will have a guaranteed minimum power level for base values too.

But there is one more thing to this change! The change is applied retroactively for all items. If you already crafted some items with higher rarity ore/yarn, the base values will be adjusted to be in the new power range. Same goes for equipment that has been dropped from bosses on higher difficulties.

Rising Hero

A brand-new event is coming with Release 251 - Rising Heroes. Play the event to unlock a lot of useful packages, gems and many more to improve your desired character. When the event is on, create a new character in your account and start your journey to become the greatest hero and get rewarded!





Summer Solstice Festival

Summer is here! Phestos and Sir Hardy cannot resist joining the party, so they are bringing you the Summer Solstice Event once again. Release 251 contains an updated version of the event, including the new unique item Straw Hat and more offers for the Summer Solstice Festival NPCs.



You feel like chilling with your friends in Kalodoro? – We got you covered. Do not miss any on-going minigames, that will certainly keep you occupied and entertained! On top of that, make sure to check out the new Summer Scrolls. These scrolls will allow you to obtain a Unique or Set item offered by Emilia, Gnob or Zumpe when opening the mini-game reward chests.



Event guides with more information for both events will be published soon!

Enjoy the release!
