Archboss Ramux and Weapon Drops

The Ramux Archboss is now live with dedicated Peace and Guild-type events. Archboss schedules are set for Tuesdays and Fridays at 7:00 PM and 10:00 PM. Defeating Ramux yields level 85 weapons tied to Thundercloud Scale and Skill Core crafting recipes, including the Last Dragon's Thunder Greatsword, Scale Lord's Massacre Sword, Last Dragon's Thunder Daggers, and seven other class-specific weapons.

Additionally, Talandre Ascended Archboss weapon levels have been raised from 70 to 80, with existing weapons adjusting automatically. Material drop rates for scorched parts from Deluzhnoa and Giant Cordy have also been increased ahead of the August 26 Snowsoul weapon crafting update.

Balance Adjustments and Skill Fixes

The patch delivers targeted changes across multiple weapon types and skill cores:

  • Daggers: Inject Venom and its Lightning Infusion specialization now trigger additional-use effects when an attack hits targets with 20 stacks, rather than requiring stack consumption.
  • Crossbows: The 30% PvP damage reduction effect has been removed from Skill Core: Support Fire for Quick Fire, Recoil Shot, Wave Shot, and Explosive Arrow.
  • Gauntlets: Chain Strike - Smash Down hit range increases to 5m and can now be used during the Earthquake skill. Mobility Strike's default movement charge is now built-in without requiring a specific specialization.
  • Longbow and Staff: Skill Cores for Torrent, Eye of Ventius, Thunder's Shadow, and Lightning Condensation receive direct damage scaling adjustments, while several cooldown and display issues have been resolved.

Equipment Growth and Quality of Life

Resonance enhancement probabilities have been adjusted so attempts will no longer result in a lower enhancement level than before. Heroic gear now carries a chance to roll Potential Abilities upon acquisition (8.3% for weapons, 5% for armor and accessories), which can be freely transferred.

Unlockstones have been completely removed from Fishing Sacks and Expedition Pouches, and Adventure Coin: Fortitude recipes have been updated to yield new Unlockstone bundles. Furthermore, obsolete Extraction Stones can now be sold directly to vendors.
