NEW & IMPROVEMENTS
CONTENTS
● Changed the way summoning works with the Ibedor's Scroll.※ The summon scrolls can still be used in the old method of simply summoning a boss by using a scroll.
| Before | After |
|
Party leader uses the scroll at the designated location to summon monsters. Party leader and members get loot upon defeating said monsters. |
Go to the designated spawn location to interact with the NPC and use the UI to summon. The party leader puts in the number of scrolls according to the stage the party wishes to attempt. The rest of the party member put in the same number of scrolls. The party leader and members all get their rewards as loot. |
| Stage | Required Scrolls |
| 1 | 1 each |
The update, which increased the number of zones that dropped Caphras Stones, also increased the amount of stones you could obtain from PvE content, which unfortunately made the Venomous Night Fang (Ibedor's Scroll) obtainable from the O'dyllita territory somewhat less appealing than before. To reinforce the original design of this summon scroll as a primary means of acquiring Caphras Stones, we improved it with an update similar to that of the Ancient Relic Crystal Summon Scroll. However, since Ibedor's Scroll summons powerful bosses fitting of the territory of O'dyllita, we felt any stage higher than one would feel too burdensome for our Adventurers. While limited to just one stage, having an entire party summon these mighty foes will guarantee a quicker end to this heroic ordeal, and thus, a faster means to reap the rewards.
● Changed the design of the Yar! invite window.
- Now when you select a mode, you will also be able to see information on the types of hands that will be in play.
- Each game mode now has its own unique background image along with the different difficulty levels and descriptions.
● Slightly moved the location of the text in the middle of the board.
● Adjusted the dialog text of Yar! NPC opponents to no longer touch the outer margins of the speech bubbles.
