MAJOR UPDATES – SAGE
●Began Pre-Creation for the new class, Sage.
- You can pre-create and customize Sage, the new character class.
- With the addition of a new character, you can now add up to 23 slots with the Character Slot Expansion Coupon
※ Sage cannot be created in the Winter season server. New and Returning Adventurers should look forward to the upcoming "New Olvia Server" expected for March 24 release!
Pre-creation for Sage, the Last Ancient, has now begun. After we released the official trailer and developer commentary video on March 12, we were greatly encouraged and thankful for your warm response, but we also felt that we hadn't explained fully about "Succession available at release."
Whenever we design a new class, we've always focused on the Main Weapon (original) state of the class first, then moved on to Awakening and Succession. However, we received much feedback hoping for a new class that would start with Awakening and Succession available at launch, and we had much internal discussions on how to make the class more enjoyable and fun to play for all of our Adventurers. As a result, from Sage and onwards, we will design new classes while focusing on Succession from the start. So when you reach Lv. 56 with a Sage, you will be able to carry out the Succession questline to achieve his Succession state straight from launch.
Also, there were some concerns that since Sage starts with Succession available from launch, does he have an Awakening state, and... o-of course not! We are working hard to make sure his Awakening state is truly a form to behold. However, due to the change in the development process of how we designed the Sage, it will take approximately 4 weeks until Awakening will be released.
NEW & IMPROVEMENTS
CONTENTS
● All of O'draxxia is aghast at the Ahib's report that Hadum's Black Sun, which has already taken over Elvia's skies, is now widening its reach and has infested the Dark Rift. The following has been observed from the infested Dark Rifts:
- The Dark Rifts will appear twice as fast than before.
- You can obtain Specter's Energy from the Dark Rifts.
But the Dark Rifts won't go without a fight. In two weeks' time, the Black Sun's energy infesting the Dark Rifts will fade completely. The Ahib are watching this fight with intrigue, growing even more convinced that darkness needs be vanquished with darkness.
ALL CLASSES
● Improved all classes to be able to summon the Black Spirit while moving.
- You can summon the Black Spirit while riding on horses, even when using Sprint. However, you cannot summon the Black Spirit while using other skills.
- Your character will switch to idle stance when you summon the Black Spirit.
