PATCHNOTES (SPRING 2022)

Hi, Dexters!

Here is the latest changelist for upcoming update on union server!
Most of these changes were installed on summer x300 Skadi server, but today we slighly updated this list.
Also keep in mind that we have plan to make some additional changes before the next x50 seasonal server.
Maybe not so much changes with skills, but some gameplay changes is coming before november 5

General changes
Changed prices at the Hellbound Shop.
Added new items to Olympiad Shop.
Changed items at Loyalty Shop.
Improved assortment of Town Auctioneers at Giran, Aden and Rune.
Implemented new TvT system.
Improved assortiment of Giran Harbor Fair.

Epic Respawn Changes
Valakas and Antharas will only appear in the world during the weekend to make it comfortable for players from all regions to fight for them.
If the dragon is not killed within 12 hours of spawning, it will die automatically without a drop and you will have to wait a week or two before its next respawn.
Antharas will appear every Saturday between 23:00 and 0:00 (UTC +2).
Valakas will appear every 2 weeks on Sunday from 23:00 to 0:00 (UTC+2).
Freya, according to the same logic, will always appear on Friday from 23:00 to 00:00 (UTC + 2).
The rest of the bosses will keep their current logic, but the new time of their appearance is indicated in the table:

I also want to note that for Europe the UTC + 2 time zone is less comfortable in summer, but in autumn, due to the transition of most European countries to winter time, the situation will look more comfortable.


Olympiad Changes

• Enable hwid limitation for Grand Olympiad Games (in test mode). Only 1 character from 1 hwid can register at the same time.

General Information
Over the years of work our project obtain a lot of new content and features.
This allows our players to play for a long time even at high rate server and keep their interest in the game.
But also this huge amount of new content make server look slightly different than some people expect.
So, based on the feedback and wishes of our players, this season we want to go BACK TO THE ROOTS .

The main goal of these changes will be to give you the opportunity to stop endless farming and focus more on pvp.
Usualy we open new content pretty quick. This forces you to farm everyday a lot to get the best equipment.
This time we will open new content more smoothly and slowly. This should allow you to leisurely reach the gear cap for the current Episode and spend the remaining time for PvP.
Also we reworked our schedule and concept to make server look much more closer to CLASSIC INTERLUDE in first month.
We will open Hellbound from Episode 5 (November 13).

Here is key points for new season:

• NO GCM until Episode 4. Due to this change, it will be much more difficult to obtain skills enchanted to 20+. As a result lower skill level, less chance to apply debuff, fewer debuffs in pvp.
• NO CYCLIC MACROS until Episode 5. Years ago we introduced cyclic macros to make people's routine easier, but for many it has become even harder. Players start play with boxes to farm in background. Run L2 on 2nd PC etc... That's why we will try to disable cyclic macros for one month from server start. This will allow you to enjoy the game in one window and not worry about someone else getting more benefits from multibox or multiPC.
• NO INSTANCE ZONE ABUSE. Well, we do not remove them completely. But we open them slowly, step by step, mostly for solo players. As example for the majority of players there are no point to farm B-Grade kamaloka on 1st week. Same for Low A-Grade instances on 2nd week etc. But for newbies who play few hours per day these instances should help to catch up others.
• NO HELLBOUND for one month from server start. We'll give you more time to enjoy the classic Interlude Chronicles locations. Of course, we will do our best to make sure you don't get bored until Hellbound opens.
• NO TIER 4 TALENTS. We will no longer force you to rush 93 talent points just to make your class playable. All Tier 4 talents now will be available from skillbooks. So you can drop it from Hellbound Raid Boss or purchase from other players, double click and enjoy. But keep in mind most likely these books will be pretty expensive at the beginning. But don't worry! Starting from Episode 7 these books will be available at Grand Olympiad Manager. As for passive skills from Tier 1 to Tier 3 - yes, you still need farm it. But for sure they are not so important as old Tier 4 and you can get them later without rush. Also such system is much more user-friendly if you will decide change your class.
• LESS CUSTOM SKILLS for each class. For each class we will remove from autolearn 1 custom skill (made by L2Dex in the past). As example for dagger classes it will be Shadow Step, for summoners - Servitor Evolution. Full list of skills you will find at the table below. All these skills will be available to obtain from spellbooks, starting from Episode 4.
• LESS TVT ACTIVITIES at first weeks of the server. We have received many complaints that players are too tired of the number of TvT events at the start of the server, but cannot skip them because there are valuable rewards. On the other hand, many people like these event. Therefore, we decided not to turn off TVT completely, but significantly reduce the reward. Thus, now you can skip TVT and not regret it. Starting from Episode 4 we will activate TvT seasons and expand list of rewards, so true TvT warriors will have an opportunity to show who's the number 1 here.

General Changes
- Changed respawn point of Catacomb and Necropolis Guardians. Now they always appear at 1-st room near entrance. Info about their respawn added to alt + B.
- Increased drop chance for full items from regular Raid Bosses.
- The amount of experience received for various raid bosses has been balanced between themselves (regular, hellbound, instances, catacomb, fortress etc). Globally, the amount of experience gained from RB has been increased, but for some bosses it can be lower than before.
- Changed drop in Fortress/Castle instances (reworked chances). Removed GCM, but added Potion of Training 50% (20 min).

Client Changes:

The main goal of the changes was to make the dark side of Primeval Island a point of interest for clans in the first weeks of the server. Now getting spellbooks during the first episode will be much more difficult.
Each dropped out "Day of Doom" will cost more than usual and each "Raging Waves" will change the balance in mass pvp!
But don’t worry, starting from the Episode 2 an Awakened Sailren will appear on server and you are guaranteed to get 3 spellbooks for a single farm.

Patchnotes - Spring Season (2024)

Dear players, we present a list of changes that will be installed on server with the launch of the new season (April 20).
Some of these changes were already installed on union server, we decided to keep this info so that players who left before the merge would be aware.
The Union server will receive this update a few weeks after the start of the new season.

The list may be changed or supplemented before the start of the OBT (April 16).

Clan Changes

• Only 50 members (this value may change depending on expected online) from same clan or alliance can be inside pvp area at exact epic boss. Other members who enter zone will be teleported to town.
• Clan limit is increased from 100 to 200 members.
• Penalty for leaving clan increased to 24h(for all).
• Increased amount of CPR in reward for quest Clan's Fame, Clan's Prestige and Clan's Reputation.
• Added new daily quest for CRP Clan Dedication. Quest starts at Grand Master Valdis at Town of Rune. Hunt Pterosaur and Elroki to get Dinosaur Horns. Farm 25/50/100 Dinosaur Horns and back to Valdis. Your clan will get 500/1000/1500 CRP, depending on amount of horns you farm.
• Astarte no longer sell CRP at services.
• Skills Clan Cyclonic Resistance and Clan Magmatic Resistance can be learned up to level 3 (15% resist) at clan level 11.
• Learned clan skills apply to all clan members, regardless of their social rank. As you know, in the original L2 there is a complex system of social ranks and, depending on the rank, the player receives the effect of clan skills. We decided to simplify this system and now if a CL has learned a skill, then all members of the clan will receive it, but because of this change some skills can be obtained by regular clan members earlier than usual. As example Clan Cyclonic Resistance can be obtained by all clan members starting from clan level 7.

Patchnotes - Autumn Season (2024)


Introduction
Greetings, Dexters!
For many years, we have tried to give you a new gaming experience every season, so that the game does not get boring and feels new. Without changing traditions, we do it again!
This time we decided to lower the tempo and therefore the overall server rate is not x50 but x25.
You will have to fight for equipment that in previous years could be obtained practically for nothing. The main things that can be highlighted are:

• A/S-Grade equipment
• Giant's Codexes
• Enchant Scrolls
• Masterwork Items

Looking ahead, I will say that this seasonal server, like all the previous ones, will sooner or later be merged with the UNION server.
But, unlike previous seasonal servers, this time we do not determine a specific date when this will happen, it will depend on you - the players!
When that moment comes, we will make sure that the players of the new server catch up with the UNION in terms of equipment, but until that time the new season will develop at its own pace.
Therefore, we recommend that you do not worry about what will happen sometime in the future, but enjoy the game today.
Thanks to everyone who has stayed with us all these years and we wish you to get bright and unforgettable emotions from the game this year too!
Happy new season, Dexters!

Patchnotes (August 2025)



Introduction
Hello, Dexters!
The spring season has come to an end and the merge with the Union server is approaching.
The season turned out to be quite fun and we are very pleased with how the updated buff book and 36 buff slots showed themselves, so we will keep this change.
But due to some features of the Union server (which is 5+ years old!) we are forced to make additional balance changes to nerf some "imbalance" things in the endgame and also to refresh the gameplay a little.
So today we want to share with you a list of changes that will be applied immediately after the merge.

Keep in mind that other changes are possible for the fall season (which starts at the end of September).
Stay tuned and enjoy the game!

Merge:

• We will merge NEW and UNION servers at August 9.
• Main changes:
  • Union server will receive all updates from new patch including 36 buff slots and new resist logic.
  • No Replica epic bosses. You can continue use your replica jewelry but cannot make new one or upgrade existing.
  • As usual NPC with Ancient Enchant Scrolls are not available at union.
  • In addition we will install new custom olympiad matchmaking system at merge. This should make pairs more fair and feeding harder.
• Bug fixes:
  • Fixed issue which in some cases caused debuffs with vulnerability to a certain type of weapon to work with double efficiency and even affect magic damage as well. This problem was only on the seasonal server (that's why Dreadnought, Spectral Dancer and some other classes damage was higher than expected)
  • Fixed issue with clan limits, so after merge you can bring only 27 players from your clan or alliance to combat zones at epic/sieges etc.
  • Fixed issue with reflect damage in cases when initial hit oneshot target. Now even if target dies you will receive reflected damage. Amount of reflected damage in such cases is limited by target HP/CP pool. As example if someone hit with 100k damage to target with 10k hp/cp and 50% reflect the amount of damage reflected will be 10k * 50% = 5k.

Item Changes:

Dynasty Sets	Decreased resistance to debuff attacks from 30% to 20%.
Charm of Assassination	Changed bonus from "Increased critical damage by 500" to "Increases Critical Damage by 5%"
Charm of Focus	Changed bonus from +10 crit.chance to +10% crit.chance per level. Crit.chance calculated from basic weapon crit rate.
Masterwork bonus - Concentration	We rollback previous change, so now it gives +10% skill damage (was 5%).

Class Skill Changes:

Frenzy	Changed core mechanic of the skill, so now it gives most powerful bonuses only when your life is < 30% (as it was on Gracia Final and higher chronicles). All bonuses to P.Atk were decreased. Completely removed specific bonuses to P.Atk with a bow, but general bonus to P.Atk. still affects bow and other weapons. Quick example: Before change Titan on full life had 27k P.Atk, after change it has 23k P.Atk on low life and only 12k P.Atk on full life. So if you want to use full power of frenzy make sure you keep < 30% Max HP. With a bow if an old P.Atk was a 10k then a new P.Atk. will be ~6.6k
Madness of Pa'agrio	The skill has been changed to make using the new Frenzy mechanics more comfortable. For 90 seconds 30% of the standard melee damage inflicted on the enemy is recovered as HP. Blocks HP recovery at a level not exceeding 30% of Max HP.

Sacrifice	Decreases bonuses from skill enchant 2 times. Now +30 skill heals with 2070 power (before change was 3002 power)
Touch of Eva	Increased reuse delay from 120s to 180s. Removed debuff immunity. Now it increases P.Atk./M.Atk. by 30%, increases the power of received HP recovery magic by 30%, resistance to Fire/Water/Wind/Earth attacks by 20%, resistance to melee attacks by 20% and resistance to debuffs by 60%.
Insane Crusher	Increased chance to remove buffs.
Wrath of Shilen	Decreased skill power from 400 to 300 and decreased reuse delay from 15s to 10s.
All knight seeds	Chance to trigger seed level up is changed from static to dynamic. So, chance to level up seed from 0 to 1st level is 30%, 2nd level - 45%, 3rd level - 60%.
Death Shot	Increased cast time from 3.5s to 4s.
Phantom Dash	New selfbuff for Phantom Ranger. Autolearn at lvl 60. For 15 seconds increases Speed by 40 and provides a chance to cancel the target of an attacking enemy. Effect is cancelled if any action other than move is initiated. Reuse delay 30s.
Heavy Arrows	Decreased effectiveness of skill enchant. +15 skill gives +20% effectiveness of shock attacks (before change was +25%).
Hamstring Shot	Decreased basic activation rate from 70% to 60%. Added new enchant branch Power which increases power of slow effect. +15 Power reduces enemy speed by 45% for 30 seconds.
Burst Shot	Increases bonuses from skill enchant. Decreased reuse delay from 6s to 5s.

Servitor Share	Decreased P.Def./M.Def. bonus from 60% to 40%.
Summon Smart Cubic (for summoners)	Cast time increased from 6s to 12s.
Divine Curse	Increased penalty to HP recovery from -50% to -80%.
Divine Shield	New selfbuff for Cardinal at level 80 (from skillbook). Increased P.Def./M.Def by 3000 for 10 seconds. Reuse delay 600s.
Divine Power	Removed resistance to damage in PvP. Skill autolearned on 79 level.
Absolute Clarity	Increased base skill cast time from 3s to 6s. Increased reuse delay from 120s to 300s. Changed MPcost1 from 1000 to 200. Changed MPcost2 from 0 to 800. So skills like "Earring of Orfen: Maximum Clarity" will be more effective.
Body/Mind Withering	Increased debuff effect from -20% to -30%.

Patchnotes September 21 2025



We’re excited to share the second and final part of the Patch Notes for the upcoming Autumn Season!
This update covers the global server changes, so make sure to check it out carefully.


General Changes

• Top B-Grade items can be purchased at the GM Shop from the beginning. Their price is high, so crafting and dropping them remain viable options.
• Instead of Hot Springs Bracelets, cheap Hot Spring Potions were added. They apply the desired Hot Springs debuff for 1 hour.
• Karma now decreases more slowly.
• The price of the Apella Set at the Combat Manager (TvT) has been reduced.
• Adjusted prices of A/S-Grade shots at the GM Shop:
  • B-Grade: no changes.
  • A-Grade: +50%.
  • S-Grade: +100%.
• Increased the amount of scrolls required to exchange for Blessed Scrolls at the GM Shop:
  • BEAA/BEWA: now require x10 EAA/EWA (was x7)
  • BEAS/BEWS: now require x10 EAS/EWS (was x5)
• Changes with Auxiliarty Stones:
  • Changed logic of Auxiliary Stones. Now they grants flat bonus to enchant chance.
    • Old logic example: final chance = base chance * (1 + bonus chance/100) = 70% * (1 + 0.1) = 77%.
    • New logic example: final chance = base chance + bonus chance = 70% + 10% = 80%.
  • Changed bonuses of Auxiliarty Stones:
    • Armor C: bonus 24%.
    • Armor B: bonus 18%.
    • Armor A: bonus 15%.
    • Armor S: bonus 12%.
    • Weapon C: bonus 16%.
    • Weapon B: bonus 12%.
    • Weapon A: bonus 10%.
    • Weapon S: bonus 8%.
  • Now you can see real enchant chances on interface window.
• Changes with Primeval Island:
  • Tyrannosaurus:
    • Increased Max HP and drop.
    • Respawn time reduced from 480s to 300s.
    • CRP reward reduced from 250 to 100.
  • Quest “Rise and Fall of the Elroki Tribe”: the number of quest items required to obtain Top A-Grade parts increased from 100 to 1000.
  • Life Stone drop rate increased x2.
  • Adena drop increased approximately x1.5–x2 (depending on monster type).
• Tiat quest is now available for characters level 78–80 (was only 80).
• Increased chance to drop Giant's Codex from monsters.
• Increased amount of Neolithic Splinters dropped from Raid Bosses.

Replica

The initial M.Def of Replica Jewelry has been lowered, but it increases with each stage. At Stage 5, M.Def is the same as before.
Time limit to enter the Replica boss increased from 1h to 4h, so you can plan your activities and choose better time to go replica.

Changed available options for entrance. Now you can choose one of 3 options to fight replica epic boss:

• Party zone (grants 150 Epic Fragments) - only one party (6–9 players) can enter.
• PVE Command Channel zone (grants 200 Epic Fragments) - a personal instance for CC (minimum 2 parties, maximum 3 parties).
• (not available from start!) PvP Command Channel zone (grants up to 250 Epic Fragments) - you have some time to register, after that you will be teleported with other players inside instance zone and start fight for boss.
  • Players can re-enter after death. In simple words it will looks like a copy of a regular epic boss fight with other players.
  • Reward for killing a boss divided between all alive players near the boss when it dies. As example boss have pool of 25,000 framgents which are divided between nearby alive players, but no more than 250 fragments per player. So make sure you kill all nearby enemies before finish the boss.
  • Maximum obtainable fragments per player: 250 (even when killing the boss solo).
  • If the PvP Replica attempt fails, players can enter the PvE version (after the PvP instance closes).
• Everyone who killed real epic will get 300 Epic Fragments.

Also changed requirements to upgrade stages of Replica Jewelry:

• Stage 1 - x250 Fragments + x1 Black Ore jewelry.
• Stage 2 - x500 Fragments + x1 Replica Stage 1 + x1 Phoenix jewelry
• Stage 3 - x750 Fragments + x1 Replica Stage 2 + x1 Majestic jewelry
• Stage 4 - x1000 Fragments + x1 Replica Stage 3 + x1 Tateossian jewelry
• Stage 5 - x1500 Fragments + x1 Replica Stage 4 + x1 Dynasty jewelry

Ring of Core and Earring of Orfen gain their active skills only at Stage 4 and 5.


Olympiad Jewelry

Old Olympiad Jewelry has been removed from the game.
Instead, regular and masterwork A/S-Grade jewelry can be upgraded with a {PvP} enchantment at the Olympiad Manager.
Enchant level is preserved (e.g. Tateossian Ring +6 becomes Tateossian Ring +6 {PvP}).
Example: Tateossian Ring {PvP} has the same bonuses as the old Olympiad Ring (Stage 3), but can be augmented and has higher M.Def (same as TT).
The best option is Masterwork Dynasty Jewelry {PvP}, though it will be difficult to obtain.

Price to upgrade jewelry with "PvP" enchantment:

• Low A-Grade: x20 Medal of Glory
• Top A-Grade: x40 Medal of Glory
• Low S-Grade: x80 Medal of Glory
• Top S-Grade: x160 Medal of Glory

Isle of Prayer Changes

• In general slightly decreased monster damage.
