Chronicles & Updates

Goddess of Destruction: Harmony

Kartia's Labyrinth, awakened auras and the mentoring system

The Goddess of Destruction: Harmony update does not reshape the game, but it brings plenty of welcome changes for both solo players and group players. Characters of levels 76-85 get the most new content, but there is something for everyone else too: new quests and campaigns, reworked old quests, a new instance and many small improvements.

The data reflects the Goddess of Destruction: Harmony update.

Locations

Kartia's Labyrinth

  • The new Kartia's Labyrinth instance is designed for solo play or a party of 7.
  • It has three difficulty tiers - for levels 85, 90 and 95 - and each tier has a solo and a party version. The solo run is slightly different: solo players are helped by NPCs.
  • Entry is through the Kartia Researcher in the center of Aden. The same NPC gives daily quests for all six versions of the instance.
  • The re-entry limit resets daily at 06:30 server time.

Changes to existing locations

  • Some monsters give more XP and SP in these locations:

Fantasy Isle: Social Action Raid

  • A Social Action Raid was added on Fantasy Isle. It is available on weekends through the NPC Haia at the entrance to the stage.
  • To take part, three full parties must join a command channel - 21 players in total.
  • There is no level limit. Each stage requires different social actions; the NPC Bard gives the instructions.
  • A successful run rewards Fantasy Isle Coins and the Noblesse Blessing buff for 6 hours.
  • The participation limit resets daily at 06:30 server time.

Awakened class auras

The unique active skills of the awakened classes became auras that affect the whole party; their names and effects changed.

Tyrr ForceTyrr AuraP. Crit rate of all party members +5%, except Tyrr WarriorsP. Crit rate of all party members +1%

Aeore ForceAeore AuraM. Atk. +6% and P. Atk. of party members with a bow/crossbow +6%, except Aeore HealersM. Atk. of all party members +1%

Party Solidarity is an extra buff for the whole party. It turns on when Sigel Aura and Aeore Aura are both active (they are mandatory) and 4 or more different auras are active in total. Identical auras do not count: with Sigel Aura, Aeore Aura and two Othell Auras the effect does not trigger. Party Solidarity raises P. Atk., M. Atk., P. Crit rate, Atk. Spd. and Casting Spd. by 1% and reduces physical and magic skill cooldowns by 1%; the more different auras are active, the stronger it gets.

Forgotten Scrolls and Ancient Books

Forgotten Scroll and Ancient Book: Divine Inspiration are no longer required to learn skills: these skills can now be learned in the character's skill window for SP. If you learn such a skill with a Forgotten Scroll or Ancient Book, no SP is spent.

Skill window Learning skills from the character window

Herbs

Herb of Mysterious Power and Herb of Mysterious Magic Power were added. Their effects are very strong, so some of the old herbs were removed. Five kinds of herbs remain in the game:

System changes

Commission trading

Using the broker NPC now costs a fee both when listing an item and when it sells.

  • Listing fee - at least 1000 adena or 0.01% of the sale price per day of listing. Example: for an item priced at 200,000,000 adena you pay 20,000 for 1 day, 60,000 for 3 days, 100,000 for 5 days, and so on.
  • Sales tax - at least 1000 adena or 0.5% of the sale price; it adds up over the days the item was listed and is deducted from the proceeds, and the rest is sent by mail. Example: an item worth 200,000,000 adena was listed for 5 days - 5,000,000 is deducted and the owner receives 195,000,000 by mail.

Auction

Rare Soul Crystals, Blessed R95-grade items (weapons, armor, jewelry) and enhanced legendary accessories can now be sold at the auction.

Item creation

R-grade crafting now needs more materials, but the chance of getting a normal or blessed item when crafting R-grade gear was increased.
