The December 3, 2025 update adds a PvE/PvP combat-state toggle, weekly and seasonal Abyss-point caps, easier Empyrean Lord's Trace collection, a Spiritmaster spirit-auto-cast rework, and a long quality-of-life list. Translated from the official Korean update note.

Combat-state toggle (new)
A combat-state mode lets you choose when to flag for PvP. PvE state is safe (can't attack or be attacked by the other faction); PvP state allows open fighting (but you still can't hit other-faction players in PvE state). Available from level 45, not changeable in enemy territory, with a 1h10m switch cooldown; PvP-flagged enemies show red, and the Abyss is always PvP regardless of setting.
Other systems
- Abyss points: weekly cap of 200,000 from hunting and 200,000 from PvP, with a seasonal total cap of 2,500,000 (hunting + PvP combined).
- Empyrean Lord's Trace eased: collection per pickup in Verteron/Altgard 1 → 4 (retroactive ×3 for those already done), plus a recipe converting 1 Trace → 50 enhancement stones (up to 1,680/server).
- Rift of Time/Space now opens every 3 hours (02/05/08/11) for up to 400 players; an Abyss rank buff grants more Abyss points at lower ranks (30% for recruits down to 3%); many dungeon monster levels lowered, and outpost/sealed-dungeon clears now give 15,000 Kinah instead of drops.
