In addition to what we've already shared, we've prepared the following exciting changes:

 

Warning: Please note that, as with all updates, balance changes may occur at anytime based on player feedback and balance considerations.

 

General Changes

  • We've fixed an issue that prevented Critical Hit sound effects from being played.
  • We've added a Critical Hit sound for archer damage.
  • We've fixed an issue where large monitors and/or higher resolutions caused far away targets to be difficult to target.
  • The localization of various Eonic Weapons & the Eonic Weapon Crafter have been improved.
  • The Eonic Weapon Crafter now states the upgrade rate for each grade.
  • Sephiroth Jewelry can now be used starting at level 276 (previously 300).
  • In-game & website help guides have been updated to reflect season changes.

 

Client Changes

  • We've made various experimental changes to the client that may help reduce crashes and the games memory usage over time (and thus reduce FPS drops after prolonged gameplay).
  • If users notice an increase/decrease in crashes or FPS drops, please let us know. In the case of FPS drops, a video may be helpful.

 

Halloween Event

  • We have added a new pair of wings, the Halloween Wings. The Halloween Wings may only be purchased during the Halloween Event.

Void Weapons

  • We've added a new series of Level 14.5 weapons, called Void Weapons. These weapons were inspired by the concept behind Eonic Weapons and other situationally focused weapons in the game.
  • Grade 3 Void weapons are slightly weaker than Level 14 weapons against the wrong type of enemy, but against the "right" kind they are stronger. Void Weapons can be more effective when used under the right conditions, see the weapon descriptions for more info.
  • Players can craft Void Weapons by speaking to the Void Weapon Crafter at Nasa Altar, who will also inform you of the grade upgrade success rates.
  • Similar to level 14 equipment, Void Weapons can only have "perfect" stats and those stats can be upgraded to level 20 (glows start at level 13).
  • Void Weapon stats can be upgraded using Beryllium Gems.
  • Grade Upgrade Rates & Costs
    • Grade 1 (50% Success): 1 Level 14 weapon of the same type, 1 Magic Gem, 1 Sorcery Gem, 1 Divine Gem, 1 Sephiroth Gem, 1 Sephiroth Choice Gem, 1 Beryllium Gem, 1 Beryllium Choice Gem, 1 Borna Gem, 1 Janra Gem, 1 Jous Gem, and 1 Shua Gem.
    • Grade 2 (20% Success): 1 Grade 1 version of the same weapon and the same gem set as above.
    • Grade 3 (10% Success): 1 Grade 2 version of the same weapon and the same gem set as above.
  • Additionally, Void Weapons are able to be augmented with runes.
  • These items can only be crafted by season characters, until the season is over.
