We’ve reduced the cost of the Snowman Mask from 100 Snowballs down to 50 Snowballs.
Just a reminder, the event ends on January 5.
Balance Changes
General
Balance Changes are a regular thing and Class Changes cannot be reverted, nor can any trades you make for equipment for a new class.
For this reason, we do not recommend that players use Class Changes simply because their class was nerfed or changed or even because another class was nerfed or changed.
Even though these patches are going live, it does not mean they will not be changed, adjusted, or in some rare cases reverted later on.
If you feel your class is lackluster, the answer isn’t to use a Class Change… It’s to voice your concerns and have them addressed.
We welcome all feedback.
Blade Warrior
We’ve received quite a few complaints saying Blades are a bit over tuned, too tanky and damage is too high.
Blades are meant to be tank, as they are tanks… However, we do believe their health pool can be a contributing factor to their overall sustainability. As such as we have lowered their health as such:
VIT now gives 8 HP per point up to 650 VIT, instead of 9.2.
Levels now give 9 HP per level, instead of 10.
We’ve reduced their AP gains from STR from 1.15 per point to 1 per point.
Portals
In the G13 release we forgot to mention that the Portal system has received some changes.
There are now limit on how many portal locations you can save per character.
Every character unlocks 1 new available portal for every 5 levels they have, so at 300 you can have 60 Portals saved.
Subscription users gain access to an additional 40 available portal slots automatically.
Monster Changes
Vice Queen now drops G13 items with stats 5-8 instead of with no stats.
Evangelin now drops G13 items with stats 6-9 instead of with no stats.
Evangelin Clonium Gem & Clonium materials no longer lock on pickup.
Pet Island monster move speed has been slightly increased.
Area Changes
There was a bit of a configuration issue with Areas based on their channels.
We may make additional changes in the future, but for now the following rules/settings have been placed for ALL non-war areas & non-Island/Turf areas.
Channel 1: Can PvP, but with fame loss and no rewards.
Channel 2: Can PvP, there is no fame loss, and you gain soul shards/pk points.
Channel 3: No PvP
Bug Fixes
Fixed a bug with the Eggs inside Veros Rivers that prevented them from spawning Dragons and Fisherman after they were killed.
There have been a few minor localization changes & fixes for some missing quest localizations.
Locked Items can now be upgraded (except for items locked with a Locking Scroll).
Fixed a small visual bug in the Quest Window where different colored lines would appear.
Fixed a bug with the Anti-Toxin Pills that prevented Mana Regen while the buff was active.
Fixed a bug with the Anti-Toxin Pills that caused users health to go to 0 when the buff ended.
Fixed a bug with some equipment/buffs that prevented player stat bonuses from updating correctly when items are equipped/unequipped or buffs begin/end.
Fixed a bug where Sephiroth Choice gems are invisible on the floor.
Others
Hyna's quest can no longer be started if you are level 100+.
Characters can now withdraw items from subscription warehouses if their subscription expires.
We’ve added additional debugging for an issue that causes the server to crash. We’ve increased the rate of data saving while we iron out what exactly caused the issue.

Fixed a bug that allowed users to use return scrolls in some PvP areas on Channel 2 (such as Delphiroth Floor 5).
Players can no longer do damage to the Soccer Event Crystals unless they are inside the Soccer Field.
