Greetings community,

We want to explain the reason behind the changes to the Hell Raid and the decisions made. We have noticed the positive impact they have had on the server, but also how they affect the global trade economy, which is why we want to explain the reasons for these adjustments.

• Gold generation: A significant amount of gold is being generated on the server, unbalancing the trade and widening the gap between old and new players. This is partly due to the rate at which raids are completed; approximately 1 billion gold is produced per player in 15 minutes, up to 10 times per week, leading to significant inflation. We aim to decelerate this trend. While considering various methods to reduce gold influx, we have decided to minimally adjust the gold earned from these raids, acknowledging the effort and coordination players invest in this end-game content. The Hell Raid is currently the most rewarding activity in the game due to the required preparation time to and effort, and it's important to understand that without intervention, gold inflation could escalate to unsustainable levels, adversely affecting the long-term server's economy.

• RNG reduction: RNG has negatively affected, especially in achieving record times, with players exiting and entering the raid to get a favorable lever position or even good mob positions. Therefore, we decided to establish fixed locations for mobs and levers, reducing the frustration when searching for levers or luring mobs.

• Changes in mobs/boss mechanics: It has been noticed that players are sometimes hit by boss abilities without time to react. We have adjusted this to prevent such situations. We changed some debuffs and the healing dynamics, allowing the holly to have more influence, being able to cast heals or remove debuffs even with the "unable to cast abilities" debuff, increasing its importance in the raid.

• Changes in deaths and times: Currently, deaths have little impact on the rewards of the raids (you need 10 deaths to lose a reward), so we have adjusted the criteria so that a death has more consequences, where three deaths equate to a lesser reward. We aim for players to give their all in the raid, rewarding better team coordination.

• The speed limiter: Currently we have realised that the speed that can be achieved in hell is very high without the need for a mount, removing the sense of these and adding that there are items that should not be used (such as PvP items) that give speed in PvE content. In return they have improved the quality of life of the player by making mounts have less time to cast and adding that you can mount them with debuffs.

Furthermore, we are considering new game modes and mini-events that offer more items or gifts to the player.

We understand that these changes may affect the gameplay experience and are open to listening to ideas and proposals for new game modes.

— Added a scroll to Olorun Village in the Orc Smelting shop to craft Act 7.1 C42 PvE equipment with Act 6.2 C30 equipment.

— Now you can configure the titles in the equipment sets.

— WANDERING MERCHANT

The current per-character items in the wandering merchant have been kept permanently with the same days of waiting to be able to craft the items.

On the other hand, the items that were per-player global wait have been removed from the vendor.

• Legendary box
• PremiumCoin Fortune Wheel Spin Coupon
• EastCoin Fortune Wheel Spin Coupon
• Solar Pegasus Knight
• Sleepy Koala
• Hell Cover Weapons Chest

These items can now randomly appear in the shop every time the vendor tp's another map with the possibility of more than 1 special item per day.

When a shop with a special item appears, a shout will be sent out to all channels that this special shop has appeared, which players will have to go and search for it to craft the item.

The amount of items that can be craftable is the same as the current one. As soon as the item EJ: Hell Cover Weapons Chest is crafted, this item can no longer be crafted in the special shop, but if the cover appears again on the same day, it can be crafted again. The person who already crafted the item that same day, will not be able to re-craft it again, having a delay of X hours/days, depending on the item.

Delay to craft again the item:

• Legendary Box - 4 days
• EastCoin Fortune Wheel Spin Coupon - 8 hours
• PremiumCoin Fortune Wheel Spin Coupon - 8 hours
• Solar Pegasus Knight - 10 days
• Sleepy Koala - 10 days
• Hell Cover Weapons Chest - 10 days

With these changes we want to encourage more movement of players when searching for items and that everyone has the same possibilities.

The prices of the top items per account:

• Solar Pegasus Knight
  • 8000 Valyrian coin
  • 150 Titan gold bar
• Sleepy Koala
  • 10.000 Valyrian coin
