PATCH HIGHLIGHTS
Other patch highlights
01Region, announcement and effective date
Announced October 20 at 19:30 UTC; the source revised at 19:40:33 UTC was re-read in full and rebound to its new hash at 19:48:51 UTC. The reviewed facts remain valid. The announced update date is October 21 in Korea, not a confirmed deployment completion.
KR-only: do not copy healing suppression, speed, season dates or collectible changes to NA. Skills/research inputs remain the existing NA reference; historical ranking values, periods and conditions are unchanged.
All nine KR Assault variants are covered: 강습 일격/맹격/습격/타격/충격/강타/낙인/공포/폭격. Healing reduction is not damage dealt; stacking and specialization arithmetic require client verification.
02Season 4 extension and deadlines
Season 4 ends November 11 instead of November 4. Seasonal content/missions reset, seasonal-item deletion, pass/season-shop sales and seasonal crafting/boss supply deadlines move to November 11. The two named Daeva passes remain usable through November 11; subscription closes November 10.
Growth Support use ends November 11; activation and coin purchase/validity end November 4. The two Arcana support events announce extension through November 11, but their printed after-ranges begin November 4 despite earlier starts in the before-ranges; do not infer that the events restart.
P1 interpretation: KR planning deadlines change, but unlocks, costs and rewards must be checked in the relevant client before rewriting the NA beginner path. Verify pass/subscription prerequisites and each individual item deadline.
03Abyss rematching
KR server groups are rematched and artifact ownership/Abyss corridors reset. NC lists 21 pairings and their artifact, Abyss-boss and Nahma times. Use the full source table for your server; no NA schedule is derived here.
P1 interpretation: verify actual KR pairing, reset state and boss spawn schedule after maintenance; this is not a boss-pattern or difficulty change.
04Arcana inventory and extraction
Arcana capacity changes from 1,100 to 500. NC instructs over-cap holders to extract excess items; it does not state automatic deletion. Extraction adds 상급 수련의 아르카나 (각인) and stops granting 신비로운 결정 (각인). Accumulated progress is removed, with later crystal grants based on retained progress announced but no payout formula supplied.
P1 interpretation: KR inventory/investment guidance needs this warning. Verify over-cap restrictions, extraction output/costs and progress compensation in game; do not auto-select items or invent conversion values.
05Verteron collectible relocation
Empyrean Traces obstructed by Halloween decorations at Verteron's 새벽의 레기온 기지 and 주미온 마을 move to interactable positions. NC provides neither coordinates nor a count.
P1 interpretation: existing KR position guidance may be stale locally. /maps/ and /ko/maps/ use data/maps.json (Verteron) via worldmap.py; keep current coordinates until KR in-game coordinates, height, interaction prerequisites and acquisition state are verified. No new spawn or reset rule was announced.
06Fire Temple result and reward-source fixes
Fixes an intermittent failed-clear result when the trial Fire Temple boss dies exactly as the dungeon expires. No boss attack trigger, avoidance mechanic, animation or difficulty change is specified.
P1 interpretation: /dungeons/fire-temple/ and /ko/dungeons/fire-temple/ need result-boundary verification for the KR trial difficulty. Check actual region/difficulty, simultaneous expiry/kill timing and clear/reward result; do not modify pattern animations from this notice.
Season shop, expedition exchange, Growth Support and achievements replace the named bound Unique/Heroic inheritance-stone shards with corresponding inheritance flames. Exact costs, quantities and prerequisites are not supplied; verify them before changing investment recommendations.
07Other system highlights and review limits
P2: rank-icon and uniform-player appearance optimization can be set separately for field, Abyss and Rift contention. Pet-box batch use increases without a stated count; key-category duplication, Fold multi-window display and Halloween-weapon idle-motion interruption are repaired.
NC announces retroactive 명화의 잔흔 grants based on pre-October-7 expedition/transcendence play and deletion/sale/restoration history. Sales can cause 실렌티움 (각인) recovery; the source gives no exchange rate. Verify eligibility and recovered currency rather than estimating.
These are class/system highlights, not a complete recreation of the 21-server table or every event range. No in-game tests were possible. No final-build tier or patch-adjusted historical DPS is published.
Review targets: /skills/cold-storm/, /skills/fire-wall/, /skills/absolution/ and Korean counterparts; /start/ (onboarding.py), /endgame/ (endgame.py) and Korean counterparts. P1 skills require tooltip level/specialization, conditions, action timing and rotation reproduction. NA data/skills.json and data/skill-snapshot.json remain unchanged until region-matched numeric evidence exists.
