Content & Systems
Attunement Stones (new)
Expedition and Sanctuary now drop graded “Attunement Stones” and fragments. Convert 12× Attunement Stone Fragment (Unique) → Attunement Stone (Unique), and Unique → Heroic; use them in [Integrated Enhancement – Soul Engraving – Attune] to re-roll an item's options.
Expeditions, Transcendence & Sanctuary
- Conquest Normal rewards raised (higher Heroic/Unique drop rates) and a guaranteed “Equipment Change Ticket” added (convert 2 tickets + a dungeon weapon + 1M Kinah into a chosen weapon from that dungeon).
- New Conquest Hard difficulty for Krao Cave, Draupnir, Urugugu Canyon and Vakron Sky Island (Fire Temple / Ferocious Horn Den followed on Dec 24). No ranking buffs; much better drops, Attunement Stone Fragments, Draconic materials, and a guaranteed Unique-gear or Attunement Stone choice.
- Transcendence rewards add Unstable Stigma Shards (convertible to Stigma Shards at 20%).
- Sanctuary: mid-bosses Abyssal Wings Ketu and Isolation Specialist Rahu each drop 8 Abyssal Boxes; Eternal Rudra adds 4 Attunement Stones and an Abyssal gear / Equipment Change Ticket: Rudra guaranteed reward (with weapon/armor/accessory selection boxes).
Monolith & other systems
- Empyrean Lord's Trace becomes server-shared: inherit collection progress across your server's characters to raise each character's resonance level.
- Shugo Festa / Dimensional Invasion: base and daily challenge counts halved but rewards doubled; boss Kinah per kill capped (Nahma 1M, Kaira/Agro 200k).
- New features: a macro-user report, inventory/warehouse drag-and-drop, and snapshot options (target nameplate toggle, watermark toggle).
- QoL: weapon enhancement/divine-stone FX hide, Legion UI (member note/region/last-login + sorting), richer party/force HUD popups, preset-protected gear, and party/force world-map cross-server indicators. Poeta and Ishalgen servers merge their matching groups and gain the World Brokerage.
