MAJOR UPDATES - Basilisk Guardian
- You can purchase "Gorgo's Nightmare Summon Scroll" for a Gold Bar 10G from Tarek Yanzi at Rock Post.
- Using this scroll will summon a giant Basilisk Statue along with smaller statues emitting yellow pillars of light on top of the hill.
- Destroying the summoned giant Basilisk Statue will reveal the [Possessed by Darkness] Basilisk Guardian, which will simultaneously activate the smaller statues on top of the hill.
- The [Possessed by Darkness] Basilisk Guardian will draw greater power from the smaller statues, which may require at least two adventurers to join forces to take it down.
- The adventurer who hasn't used the summon scroll may preemptively move to the top of the hill to prepare to destroy the smaller statues. Destroying the statues on the hill will greatly weaken the Basilisk Guardian, so fighting with another adventurer is crucial to taking it down.
- The Basilisk Guardian will reappear for a maximum of 5 times. If there are multiple adventurers nearby, it will become empowered by a greater darkness. So, it is crucial that only one adventurer faces the Basilisk Guardian.
- After destroying the giant Basilisk Statue of Gorgo's Nightmare, if there are no adventurers who take on the Basilisk Guardian, then the Basilisk Guardian will disappear back into the nightmare with the statues.
[Enraged] Basilisk Statue |
Continuously calls forth enraged basilisks. Destroy this statue to defeat the enraged basilisks. |
[Destructive] Basilisk Statue |
Empowers the Basilisk Guardian with even stronger attacks. If you destroy this statue while the Basilisk Guardian is mid-cast absorbing its destructive power, the Basilisk Guardian will be hit by a backlash of power and suffer for it. However, if the Basilisk Guardian is able to finish casting and absorbing the statue's destructive power, then it will remain empowered even after the statue is destroyed. |
[Dark] Basilisk Statue |
Makes the Basilisk Guardian even more violent, but the backlash from destroying this statue will cause the Basilisk Guardian to get stunned. |
- Each time the adventurer on the hill destroys a statue, the adventurer fighting the Basilisk Guardian will also receive a reward upon defeating the Basilisk Guardian. Adventurers will be awarded only for defeating one of the statues on the hill and the Basilisk Guardian.

| CONTENTS
● Added Arcana of Fate system to the Black Spirit's Adventure game board.
- Arcana cards are used in the Black Spirit's Adventure game board.
* The Arcana cards will help you on your Black Spirit's Adventure. Use them well to obtain your desired rewards or to increase the probability of completing a round.
- You can obtain Arcana in the following way.
- Once your Black Spirit piece lands on the CARD square, you will randomly obtain an Arcana card.
- The obtained Arcana will be immediately sent to "Arcana" Storage located on the bottom right side of the window.
- You can use the obtained Arcana from this storage.
- The different types of Arcana are as follows:
1. Pace of Delight - Your Black Spirit piece will move forward for a certain number of spaces.
2. Lucky Day - You will get additional rolls to advance to the Finish square.
3. Fated Encounter - All your rolls get reset and you go back to the START square.
4. Nice Fluke! - You will receive double the rewards on the square you land on after rolling your dice.
- However, this Arcana cannot be applied to the CARD square, the FINISH square, or the squares you land on by using another Arcana card.
5. Clattering Rattle - You will obtain random dice which will be stored into your dice storage.
6. Cosmos Cataclysm - Your Black Spirit piece will move to a random square.
- However, it won't be moved to the START square or the FINISH square.
● Changed the background of the Black Spirit's Adventure game board.
● Changed the standards for classifying a Returning Adventurer.

SEASON SERVER
● Added a quest where you can convert your season character to a normal character. - Talk with Fughar to be led to Leyla of Velia. Accept the "[Season Server Graduation] At the Crossroad" quest from Leyla and complete the questline to convert your season character to a normal character.
- You will no longer be able to accept the existing Early Graduation quest.
- There are no requirements for converting a season character to a normal character, but please do note that you won't be able to create a season character in the Autumn Season again once the character has been converted. Also, after character conversion, all Season Passes and Black Spirit Passes will be deleted. So, we ask you to collect all rewards for Season/Black Spirit Pass Challenges before the characters are converted.
| ALL CLASSES
● Added Core skills to all classes' Awakening.
- You can learn Core skills at the bottom of the Awakening Weapon tab in the Skill window (K) once you have reached Lv. 60.
"Core" skills were added to Awakening of all classes. These skills further enhance the existing skills the way Absolute skills do for Main Weapon skills, but their acquisition and roles differ. First of all, you may only select and learn one out of all Core skills. Only defensive effects, such as either Debuff Resistance or block effects will be added to the Core skills, without any additional damage or increased number of hits. With today's patch, we hope that this addition of Core skills will relieve the discrepancy between Succession and Awakening's performance, which many adventurers have already pointed out to us. We appreciate and look forward to your feedback and opinions.
● Added Rabam's Enlightenment: 3rd Skill Enhancement.
- You can learn the 3rd enhanced skill at Lv. 58.
- You will need to learn the prerequisite skills to learn the enhanced skills.
- You may only select one of two enhanced skills per level.
- ● Added Core skills to Warrior Awakening.
- You can only have one Core skill at a time. (Additional effects will not be applied for Black Spirit skills.)
