Hello, Iris’ warriors!

We ran a discussion some time ago to understand the community’s feelings regarding the Elements System. You broadly agreed that we should remove it and take the game back to its foundations where spamming auto-attack isn’t a thing and skills have an important focus on the overall game experience. We have been working on that for several weeks, and with today’s update, we are happy to bring our work into the live servers for you, our loved community, and many other related changes.

Some will remain, and some will change based on your feedback. As usual, you can let us know your thoughts in the forums. For your convenience, here is a direct link to our Discord forums.

I have to warn you; the list is long! This update will bring many changes, so sit tight, put on some music, and dive into the reading! I had to when the developers shared it with me! ☕

1. Removal of Elemental System: We have removed the Elemental System from the game. This change aims to provide a more balanced experience in both PvE and PvP.

2. Elemental Jewels new Seals: Due to the removal of the Elemental System, the Seals of the previous Elemental Jewels have been updated. Here are the new Seals for the Chaos Jewels:

• Chaos Ruby: Strength 10, 15, 20%
• Aquamarine: Physical Evasion 10, 15, 20%
• White Pearl: Physical Hit Rate 10, 15, 20%
• Emerald: Dexterity 10, 15, 20%
• Black Pearl: Weapon Attack 10, 15, 20%
• Diamond: MP 1000, 1500, 2100
• Garnet: HP 1000, 1200, 2100
• Sapphire: Intelligence 10, 15, 20%
• Pumpkin: Ranged Evasion 10, 15, 20%
• Turquoise: Armor Defense 10, 15, 20%
• Amethyst: Magical Evasion 10, 15, 20%
• Fluorite: Magical Hit Rate 10, 15, 20%

3. Old Cooldown System: We’ve brought back the old Cooldown System, and for now, we’ve decided to have it uncapped, meaning you can reach a 100% Cooldown reduction. We know this change is big, but we hope you like it. We will closely monitor how this will affect the game’s PvP and PvE aspects and your feedback on this change. Please give it a chance before you leave your criticism!

4. Attack speed capped to 4: To encourage using Skills over Auto-Attacks, attack speed is now maxed at 4. It means you won’t be able to attack the same target with endless speed sequentially. Regardless of your current attack speed, it will be maxed at 4.

5. Skills-peed is now always the same: Skillspeed has been standardized to be consistently fast, similar to using Haste. Skillspeed-enhancing skills have been adjusted accordingly, and therefore, some Characters could have faster skills than others.

6. Anti-Cheat: Enhanced measures have been implemented to prevent cheats that enhance attack or skill speed, together with monitoring of those. Be aware that we have a zero-tolerance policy toward cheaters, and your account and all related ones could be permanently blocked.

7. Certain Skills/Items are now restricted: We have implemented restrictions on certain skills and items in specific situations. For example, Pet skills can no longer be used during Castle Siege, PvP Arena, and Open PvP. More than 100 restrictions have been applied to secure the overall game experience.

8. Healing reduction for multiple Clerics in Groups: We have introduced a system that reduces healing for group members when the group includes three or more Clerics. The healing reduction is 10% for each additional Cleric beyond two.

# of Cleric(s) in Group	Healing Reduction
1	0%
2	0%
3	30%
4	40%
5	50%
6	60%
7	70%
8	80%

Each group within an expedition is treated as one group, allowing you to distribute Clerics across multiple groups within the expedition. You can have as many Clerics as you want in the same expedition, but as long as there are a maximum of 2 per group, you won’t be affected by the healing reduction.

9. Clerics can no longer heal across different fellowship groups. Time to organize your healing groups and give them importance. Did I say guilds will have to recruit more healers now?

10. Shared Guild Skills: Guild skills can now be used by everyone in the Guild, but the cooldown of the Guildskills is shared. Organization and mindfulness between guild members will have a stronger role now. The most coordinated teams will have a slighter advantage.

11. Character Soul Buffs are now Solo buffs. Soul Skills, such as Soul of Ranger, only buff the user, not the entire party. This is a necessary balance change.

12. New Max Anti-Stone/Stun/Silence: You can now have one at 100%. For example, if you have 110 Anti-Stone, 89 Anti-Stun, and 86 Anti-Silence, you will be capped at 100, 80, and 80. In the future, you can choose which one you prefer.

Smaller adjustments

13. Elementalist Elemental Spirits: Increased Elemental Spirits’ base movement speed to 20, up from 8.

14. Dratan Castle Siege Respawn Timer: Logging out will no longer bypass the respawn timer during Dratan Castle Siege. No more smarties!

15. Maximum Movement speed: We have capped the maximum speed to 35.0.

16. Tyrannical Wings: Elemental seal has been replaced with a 2% PvP Absorb.

17. Curse Removal Scroll and Owl’s Tablet of Condition Recovery now have a cooldown of 8 seconds.

18. The old (but known!) Knight Stance has been reintroduced.

19. [Chang Thai] Dance of Courage now lasts 30 minutes instead of 3 minutes.

Other Skill Changes:

• Witch & Wizard Soul: Now grants Hitrate instead of Skillspeed.
• Haste: Now grants Movespeed instead of Skillspeed.
• Triple Bash: Now, it has the old “animation” again instead of the animation of Double Bash. We might eventually add a new animation. Please let us know what you think about this, too.
• Cleric’s Barrier: It is now a Self-buff, which means it can only be applied to yourself.
• Skill cooldowns: Certain skills now have set cooldowns, such as Witch’s Stone or Cleric’s Party Heal Master. Other skills have had their cooldowns slightly altered.
• All Stun, Stone, Silence, and Sleep skills now have a fixed cooldown of 2 seconds.
• Party Heal Master now has a fixed cooldown of 2 seconds.

Please let us know constructively what and where we can improve. We are eager to keep listening to your feedback, and we have prepared a specific Discord forum post — here is the link for your convenience.

Sincerely,

🕹️❤️ Fawkes’ Team
