Patch Notes Version 3.2.0

Dungeon Difficulty Settings

• It is now possible to select a difficulty when opening an instanced dungeon.
  • Four difficulties are available:
    • Story Mode: This difficulty disables the ability to drop items. In exchange, it lowers the Defense, Attack, and Attack Speed of monsters by a huge amount, as well as the Item Level requirement. This difficulty is exclusive to Shade's Realm & Razgul's Crypt.
    • Normal: This difficulty is the same difficulty as what previously existed. No changes are applied to balance, drop rate, or Item Level requirement.
    • Hard: This difficulty increases the drop rate and the rarity of dropped items. In exchange, it highers the Defense, Attack, and Haste of monsters by a decent amount, as well as the Item Level requirement. This difficulty only exists on dungeons dropping exclusive equipment.
    • Expert: This difficulty further increases the drop rate and rarity of dropped items. In exchange, it highers the Defense, Attack, and Haste of monsters by a very high amount, as well as the Item Level requirement. This difficulty only exists on endgame dungeons dropping exclusive equipment.
  • Please note that all of the modifiers will be displayed when attempting to open an instance, for clarity.
  • Additionally, please note that Time Trials Achievements, as well as Dungeon Leaderboards, will only be enabled for some difficulties of each dungeon.

  • The EXP curve for Pets has been updated, increasing the EXP required at lower levels for a pet to level up. The EXP required at higher levels remains unchanged.
  • It is now possible to feed a Pet that has reached Max Level in order to activate the Pet Grace.

      • 2 Stars: +10 All Stats.
