Message from the Devs

Global Lab Updates - 25th August 2023 Greetings Adventurers,

Many of you may be eagerly anticipating the new Conquest War, “War of the Roses.”
In order to meet these expectations, we are currently working hard to finalize it.

The pre-season, originally scheduled to start on August 26, has regretfully been postponed due to a need for more polishing.
We apologize for the schedule change, knowing that our adventurers have been long waiting in anticipation.
We pledge to continue working hard on this to deliver more polished, high-quality content.

We will provide accurate schedules and detailed information through a developer commentary video soon.

Thank you.

Black Shrine Changes

When the highest-difficulty boss of the Black Shrine is subdued, the adventurer’s great achievements resonate on that server.
- Land of the Morning Blessing buff applies to servers where the boss has been defeated.
- All blessing buffs last 180 minutes.
- Among the blessings of the sun, moon, and earth, a blessing corresponding to the aura of the subdued boss is applied.
- Different types of Land of the Morning Blessing can be applied at the same time.
- If you subdue a boss who gives the same type of blessing as the existing Morning Blessing, the adventurer’s family name and the duration of the blessing will be renewed.

※ The duration of ‘Blessing of the Sun’ will be updated to 180 minutes when a boss with the same aura is defeated on a server where Blessing of the Sun is applied.

※ The application limit of the item acquisition rate increase applied with the Blessing of the Earth is applied up to 400%, which is the limit of the Arsha server/territory occupation effect.
