October 21 Global update: Hard expeditions and Ariel Daevanion

The Global patch dated October 20 (PDT) / October 21 (CEST) adds Hard expeditions and a new Daevanion board. These notes cover the Global version.

Krao Cave and Draupnir: Hard mode

  • Entry requires item level 2600. Boss Frenzy starts after 4 minutes; each player has a limit of 3 revives.
  • Rewards include a chance of Philosopher's Stone: Revelation (Bound), which can also be selected as a guaranteed reward; Ariel Fragments (Bound); a chance of Expedition Hero Artwork; and more Kina than Normal mode.
  • The Ariel Fragment received depends on the dungeon. Each character can use Substance Morph to exchange 100 fragments for Daevanion Crystal: Ariel (Bound), up to 30 times. One fragment can also become 5 Enhance Stones with no exchange limit.
  • Daevanion crystals are under Substance Morph > Special > Daevanion; Enhance Stones are under Special > Consumables.
  • Both Hard dungeons can drop all Unique crafting materials: Wrathful Mind, Wrathful Will and Wrathful Ego.
  • New Expedition Hero Artwork Collector and Expedition (Hard) achievements are added. Hard expedition achievements award Unique Skins.

New Ariel Daevanion board

  • Ariel points come from collecting Ariel Fragments in Hard expeditions and converting them through Substance Morph. The number obtainable through morphing is limited separately for each dungeon.

Class fixes

  • Chanter — Spinning Strike: fixes incorrectly displayed skill effects.
  • Sorcerer — Cold Storm: fixes missing extra damage against targets with stacked Frostbite, a mismatch between Frostbite effects and skill level, and Specialty 1 applying Frostbite once more to targets in the area after the effect ended.
  • Sorcerer — Fire Wall: fixes extra damage being dealt to targets without Embers.

Rise to the Challenge

  • From October 21 until maintenance starts on December 15 (PDT/PST) / December 16 (CEST/CET), Resurrection Spiritstones (Season 1) can be bought for Kina in Shop > Wind Breeze Merchants.
  • STEP 1: 30 Resurrection Spiritstones (Season 1) for 25,000 Kina. STEP 2: another 30 for 50,000 Kina. Each step has a purchase limit per server per week.

Abyss and other improvements

  • The Abyss player capacity increases. The Lower Abyss Dimensional Core and all Abyss bosses gain HP. Kaira and Argo receive slightly larger collision hitboxes.
  • Market restrictions on listing gathered materials based on gameplay history are adjusted: some restricted players regain normal trading, while restrictions remain for others.
  • Empyrean Traces blocked by Halloween decorations at the Dawn Legion Base and Zumion Village in Verteron move to accessible positions.
  • Fixes duplicate Movement Controls categories in Settings > Key Settings and a mismatch between actual title effects and item tooltips.
