Bug Fixes

General


 * Fixed a bug which meant that the player was temporarily unable to accept or complete the last stage of the “Lost Mimi” and “Friendly Trade” quests.
 * Fixed a bug which caused the quest description for “Report to Instructor of the Third Stage” to display repeatedly.
 * Fixed the Key Item “Recipe - Zinc Sand” to item name.
 * was originally called “Recipe - Zinc Ore” but now needs to be changed to “Recipe - Zinc Sand”. This Key Item is used in the Elven Island beginner’s quest, “Mining Skills”, and so needs to be modified.
 * Fixed a bug which, when there are 25-29 members of one team in a guild war, the player may sometimes not receive the reward.
 * Fixed a bug in the Early Morning Starlight quest in Thunderhoof Hills which causes the story to get stuck and the player cannot carry on.
 * Fixed Key Battle quest bugs:
 * If the quest is interrupted, it’s impossible to delete any NPCs that have been summoned (Maxim Erekat III, Luke Ponzi, Lafati Kuhio, Avano Soldiers and Engwor Villagers).
 * The quest can still be completed even if you’re dead.
 * Fixed a bug in ‘Luke’s Tracks’ quest in Thunderhoof Hills: the range given as a condition to complete the quest is too small, and results in the battle story being repeatedly triggered. (Originally the player had to be within a range of 150 of Morrock to complete the quest, but the range should be increased to 300).

Malatinas Dungeon


 * Fixed a bug which meant that when a player tried to use ‘Malatina’s Dungeon Repeat Ticket’, ‘Malatina’s Course of Terror Repeat Ticket’ or ‘Malatina Event Repeat Ticket’ in non-instance areas or non-channel 1 areas, a message displays saying, “Cannot use this item here“.
 * Fixed a bug where having selected tutorial mode for “MG: Malatina 2“, if the player clicks on Malatina again within one second the player can choose to start the game straight away.

Siege Wars – Fixes:


 * 1. When a player who has learned Crystal Saving Studies or Performance Studies uses the Discount function, what appears on the Field, Lumber Yard and Forge menus is correct, but the actual amount deducted is not.
 * 2. Items: There is a mistake in the description of Assault Time - during Assault Time surrounding players have their Speed increased by 25, but the description says 30.
 * 3. Attack speed and casting time are supposed to decrease during Battle Time, but they increase instead.
 * 4. Effect modification for Electric Tower skills: the description of Electricity Amplification says its Conductivity effect causes 100 damage to the enemy, but it only causes 50.
 * 5. There was a bug when developing the Arsenal (Armor Technology) technique: no matter how high the technique has been developed, all new siege engines only have a Lv 1 BUFF effect, reducing any attack damage from players and NPCs by 5.
 * 6. If the player joins and then leaves a guild war (or after a guild war has finished), the player cannot recruit new members- the player has to leave and then log back into the game before it goes back to normal.
 * 7. If a guild doesn’t have a guild castle and the player registers for a guild war, a message is displayed saying “Guild war registration failed, maximum number of troops has been reached”. Another message then appears saying, “You cannot register for a guild war because the guild does not have a guild castle.”
 * Fixed a bug that meant when a lot of players attacked the gates during a siege war, when a gate falls the probability of death is more than 2.

Battlefield Fixes:


 * Sometimes the game will declare that a guild war ended in a tie, even if there was a winner, so both sides receive the loser’s reward.
 * The number of flags captured at Karros Canyon is shown incorrectly.
 * The countdown for all players who have captured a new flag to enter the battlefield has been changed to 10 seconds.
 * Karros Canyon rune stones sometimes cannot be clicked on.
 * Fixed a bug on the waiting screen for entering a battlefield, where if the player presses the “Hide“ key, the waiting time will freeze.

Classes - Fixes

Skill modifications

This has already been corrected.
 * 1. Fixed the problem of the Mage-Knight class Elite Skill of “Messenger of Light“ upgrading past Lv 50.
 * 2. Corrected the description of the Warden-Mage class Elite Skill of “Tough Oak“. The effect of this skill is to increase a Pet’s physical defense, but the description said it increases the Pet’s magical defense.
 * 3. Corrected a mistake in the description of the Scout-Mage class Elite Skill of “Aggro Transfer“. At the moment it says: ’Use while Aggro Lead is in effect...’, but this should be changed to: ’Use while Aggro Transfer is in effect...’

Instances


 * Fixed bugs with Zurhidon Stronghold and the Demon Stronghold:
 * The transport crystals in these two zones sometimes do not work, or sometimes a Boss transporter crystal will not appear. This issue has been resolved.
