Maegu Awakening
Maegu's weapon of choice is a pair of fans. She can activate a "Spirit Forged" buff during certain skills, signified by an "eye" on the ground, which considerably boosts the range, CC, and damage of her skills.
While previously teased, Maegu's Awakening has been given a full combat trailer and is announced for release on July 5th with Glabs access starting from July 2nd, click here for more.
There are two types of skills: those that trigger the Spirit Forged state and those enhanced by it. Maegu requires the execution of quick moves and combos.
Future adjustments to Succession Maegu are likely to continue also.
Tier 10 Doom Horse & Horse Updates
Along with the previously mentioned the new Tier 10 Doom horse has been announced for July 12th.
The most unique T10 Doom feature is a skill which summons two clones which other players can ride, which also have access to Two-seater and movement skills.
The clones disappear after a rider dismounts or last for a 10 min duration with a 20 min cooldown.
The T10 doom also has a +5% Movement Speed buff, unique attack skills and a third sprint ability called Infernal Sprint.
Mythical Horse T10 Creation Changes
When making a Tier 10 horse, the rate of enhancement was set to a fixed 3% chance and could not be increased.
Starting from July 12th, there will be a fail stacking system that will allow you to increase the chance after failing to create a tier 10.
Rare T10 materials will be added to quests, Patrigo's shop, and dropped from the boss Offin Tett.
Krogdalo's Stall
Along with the other horse changes, a new treasure item has been added specific to Mythical horses.
After obtaining all three Mythical Horses (Doom, Arduanatt and Dine) you'll be given the item below:
The Krogdalo's Stall will allow you to freely switch between your Mythical T10 horses from anywhere, free of charge.
You will also obtain the yellow title "Cosmic Horse Whisperer"
Tier 10 Horse Changes
After receiving feedback the Arduanatt and Dine have been changed, the Mythical Arduanatt can now dash while in the air to increase flight distance.
The Mythical Dine can now run on water for a longer duration, to hopefully make this feature more useable in the future.
New Region Ulu Kita
A new region will be added South of Mediah, which will be home to Illezra and feature end game grind spots focused more on a relaxed grinding style.
Mobs in the area will be able to be crowd controlled and effected by multipliers like Down Attack. The area will come on August 9th and further area content will arrive in September and October.
There will be 4 grind spots in the area along with a questline following the Mediah story. Only 2 grind spots were currently announced.
There is City of the Dead which requires 300 AP and 400 DP and Tungrad Ruins which requires 310 AP and 410 DP.
The unique feature of this area is that it drops Origin of Dark Hunger except it allows you to enhance failstacks all the way up to 300.
Lafi Bedmountain's Upgraded Telescope
A new treasure item will also be added to the new zone, the item will allow players to teleport to a guild or party member.
This serves as the opposite of the Lafi Bedmountain's Upgraded Compass and will require three items all grinded from the Ulu Kita zones.
However one of the pieces can be obtained and crafted from the Vodkhan piece from the Compass.
Ator's Shoes
Ator's Shoes will be the Fallen God styled boots, being the best in slot boot item similar to the other pieces of gear.
These Shoes are to be added in September or October and will be obtained from Ulu Kita zones.
Treasure Item Quality of Life
Some changes were added to Treasure items, most notably being that the Infinite HP and MP potion will be able to be added to the Family Inventory.
Once there, the potions will be able to be used by Fairies. This change is scheduled for August 2023.
For those that have more than one set of Infinite Potions, the additional potions will be exchanged for weaker versions that can be placed on the Marketplace for silver.
Now the Traveler's Map and Archaeologist's Map will have different cooldowns instead of shared allowing you to use both.
This will take place from July 12th in Korea and will have a global release at a later dater.
Dehkia's Lantern
A new item Dehkia's Lantern can be obtained as a treasure item through a simple questline.
Dehkia's Lantern empowers grinding areas, making the mobs there turn into Elite style mobs which require higher gear score to defeat.
The current grind spots that will be effected by Dehkia's Lantern are Ash Forest, Olun's Forest, Thornwood Forest, Tankuta and Calpheon Cyclops.
Ash Forest requires 310 AP and 410 DP, drops remain the same but trash loot values will increase and mobs will have new attacks.
Dehkia's Lantern will also instantly respawn defeated enemies in a small area to allow for more people to grind in the area and the area has been expanded for more space.
Olun's Valley will require 310 AP and 400 DP and will now drop the Deboreka Earring when using the Dehkia's Lantern.
The Dehkia's Lantern is limited and has a charge mechanic, to refill the charge you must Process yellow grade accessories.
The Dehkia's Lantern is set to release in Korea on July 19th.
