Everything else in this patch
Rift occupation
- Faction offense/defense runs in Verteron and Altgard at 20:00/23:00 Monday, Thursday and Saturday; defending territories alternate weekly.
- Entry requires level 50, item level 4,500, combat power 500.0k and both territory-clear VI achievements. Three keys refill weekly; receiving rewards consumes one.
- Apply from the notification UI with a key in the defending territory. Each faction fields 60–200; battle starts five minutes after the portal, runs 25 minutes and allows entry while the ten-minute portal remains.
- Participants cannot enter other dungeons. S-PVP begins after preparation, permits combat only among participants and offers uniform appearance/nameplate options; field guards can still attack participants.
- An active group has five outposts. Destroy all three monoliths to capture one; the attackers need three captures, while defenders must retain a majority until time expires.
- Monoliths, guards and enemy players grant contribution. Qualifying players receive class-ranked rewards, without advancing field achievements or existing seasonal kill tasks.
- Players can re-enter after a delay; returns to the home server following death/disconnection preserve participation for a limited rejoin window.
- A larger dedicated kisk is sold by general merchants and the shop. Only attackers deploy/use it, independent of party membership. New server weekly/season tasks accompany the mode.

Abyss
- Watcher Kaira’s spawn chance rises 20→100%, on a four-hour schedule from midnight with equally likely random locations.
- Abyss bosses/core stats and PvP contribution increase substantially without specified percentages; further changes are possible.
Next-week class plans
- These were plans, not September 2 applied changes: moving Shield Smite, Assassin clone feedback/extra damage, post-fusion Spiritmaster DPS and Cleric PvE damage.
Quality of life
- Two weekly Rift kill tasks merge and accept opposing-faction kills across all four territories, excluding occupation battles.
- Stack limits rise for breakthrough/tuning/inheritance fragments, Arcana synthesis materials and unstable Stigma Shards; inventory sorting applies the new stacks.
Other fixes
- Three bound crystal types use the corrected 5,000 Kina NPC resale value.
- Dismounting a pet while falling retains the ordinary falling restriction on skills.
- Attiel’s affected hits align with their animation; full-Abyss entry errors show a message and missing Elyos race whirlwinds return.
- Dimensional Invasion entry during combat/flight is repaired, with the mobile repair scheduled for September 9 in this notice.
Restoration
- NPC restoration uses caused by unintended mass sales after August 26 are reset.
