Hunting Zone Changes

The number of Kartia’s Guards in the altar room of Kartia’s Labyrinth has been decreased.

The HP of the boss in solo-type Kartia’s Labyrinth has been increased.

The interior of the Cruma Tower is now a viewable region on the map.

The critical rate of monsters’ magic skills has been drastically decreased.

The Prison Gate Key acquired during the raid boss fights with Balok or Baylor in the Crystal Caverns is now directly inserted into the character’s inventory and expires after one hour.

The normal version of the Octavis raid fight is now 2 hours.

The Merchant of Mammon now changes location every 30 minutes instead of every 4 hours.

Zelaka, the boss monster of Kartia’s Labyrinth level 85 instance, will no longer use the Zelaka’s Warcry skill when its HP drops below 10%.

We changed the Istina boss battle in the Seed of Annihilation as follows:

• Characters can now die from Acid Eruption.
• Now you can only undo the Yoke Status used by Sealing Energy the NPC by using the Energy Control Device.

Only characters over lv85 can now enter the Seed of Annihilation through Klemis the NPC at the pier.

We changed the minimum number of party members for alliance-type instance dungeon to 14 for normal, and 21 for extreme mode. The instance dungeons with the changes are as follows:

• Normal mode
  • Seed of Annihilation
  • Last Imperial Tomb
  • Ice Queen’s Castle
  • Balok boss battle
  • Istina’s Habitat
  • Octavis boss battle
• Extreme mode
  • Ice Queen’s Castle
  • Istina’s Habitat
  • Octavis boss battle

The monsters in the following hunting grounds now have higher HP and give more XP when killed:

• Altar of Evil
• Bloody Swampland
• Fairy Settlement
• Forbidden Gateway

When equipment with bestowed attributes is equipped, the attribute value given to monsters is lower than before to provide smoother hunting.

The Seed of Annihilation: Battle in the Nursery instanced dungeon now lasts 25 minutes instead of 30 minutes. Also, after the instance battle times out, you can speak to the NPC to acquire XP equivalent to the amount of residue collected.

The reward for the Balthus Knights - Antharas Expedition Campaign has increased: in addition to an Expedition Volunteer Reward Chest, you also get an Expedition Volunteer’s Crystal Pouch.
