RETURNING PLAYER PACKAGE SENGOKU UNTIL OCT 11 CUBE STACK CHAIRS PERFECT PITCH WALLET CANNONEER OVERHAUL EXPERT PROGRAM 50+ FIXES Patch with the launcher before you log in. Cube Stack Chairs, the Perfect Pitch trade row, the new pet name tags and the native storage windows all need the new client files and DLL. It has been a busy week. Players who took a break can now come home to a full week of rewards, the Sengoku festival has been extended so nobody misses Momijigaoka, and the Cannoneer finally feels like a Cannoneer. Perfect Pitch left your ETC tab and moved into its own wallet, the Free Market got a remodel, and a long list of bugs from your tickets is gone. Welcome-back days 7 Day 1 Perfect Pitch 20,000 Stackable Cube Chairs 74 Cubes per stack 20 New Donor overalls 403 Pet name-tag styles 148 THE PATCH IN TEN SECONDS Away for 7 days? Log in and claim the Returning Player Package : one reward a day for seven days, starting with 20,000 Perfect Pitch, a throne and 28 rate coupon boxes. Once per account and household. Sengoku Silver Week runs until October 11, 2026 (JST). Unexpired festival items and Akatsuki skills now last until October 12 at 00:00 JST, and the Sengoku bosses are much easier. Cube Stack Chairs: 74 Cube Chairs now build on a 5 x 8 grid with up to 20 cubes, and everyone on the map sees your build. Perfect Pitch has a wallet. It no longer sits in your inventory, it trades on its own row like mesos, and bound Pitch is spent first. Cannoneer overhaul: Bazooka and Barrage scale properly from level 1, the Cannoneer is tuned down to fit, and its skills keep firing when the stack runs dry. Shade is tuned down 15% on first to third job skills, and Spirit Claw tops out at 172%. Donor Gachapon rolls are cheaper: 250 DP for Weapon, Overall and Fashion, and the Overall pool grew to 948 prizes. Superior Chaos Scrolls: six tiers, one per Superior region, 100% success. Expert Program Season 0 opens: veterans can mentor new players and earn 7,350 DP per graduate. Group Ironman leaders can remove members , and Normal and Ironman boss resets no longer touch each other. WELCOME BACK - THE RETURNING PLAYER PACKAGE Took a break? Kuro kept your seat warm.

The package can be claimed once per account and once per household , and every reward is untradeable. Day 1 20,000 Perfect Pitch , 10,000 Temple's Blessing , the Return of the Legend Throne , 14 x 2x EXP Coupon Boxes and 14 x 2x Drop Coupon Boxes .

Day 3 200,000 Ruined Fragment for your class. Day 4 10 Ruin's Gloves Scroll 100% , 10 Ruin's Earrings Scroll 100% and 200,000 Blessing for your class. Day 5 100,000 Dark Fusion Fragment .

Citizenship milestones: Perfect Pitch rewards retry after an inventory-full failure and deliver exactly once. Daily Login weekly status: only the current week counts. Last week's completion no longer carries over after the rollover. SENGOKU SILVER WEEK - EXTENDED TO OCTOBER 11 The maple leaves are staying on the trees a little longer. The Sengoku festival now runs through October 11, 2026 (JST) : Momijigaoka, the Hanako exchanges, both Sengoku bosses, the spa fishing bonus, Letters to the Moon drops, rewards and Akatsuki skills. The F2P Awareness Event and its timed rewards also end on October 11 (JST). Festival items and Akatsuki skills that were set to expire on September 26 now last until October 12, 2026 at 00:00 JST . Items that had already expired are not restored. Easier Bosses Standard HP 100,000 Princess No / Mori HP 25,000 Their attack 500 Standard Sengoku boss HP: 500,000 100,000 . Princess No and Mori Ranmaru: 100,000 HP 25,000 HP with 500 attack. Every hit still lands for exactly 10 damage, and rewards and completion work the same. Festival Fixes Princess No Effect now gives +5 all stats and +5 WATK/MATK without overwriting your damage. Item 5010126 is removed from the standard Sengoku Box pool. Event skills keep their timer. Sengoku skill expiry now survives saving, relogging and changing channels. Akatsuki Will no longer wipes the attack bonus from Cider, Naricain's Demon Elixir, Ssiws Cheese or Subani's Mystic Cauldron when you recast it. Onyx Apple is unchanged. Event reconnect: reconnecting during an active event puts you back in the event instance, not the static map. Sengoku Chair Pool The two see-through-sitter chairs, Mapler on the Moon and Hayato's Moonlight , are out of the pool. The remaining five each roll at an even 20% : Chair Chance Moon Star 20% Moonlight 20% Autumn Story 20% Moonlit Flower Field 20% Moon Bunny 20% Already own Hayato's Moonlight or Mapler on the Moon? They now draw you fully opaque, and the Moonlit Flower Field Chair sits you on the flowers in both directions. CUBE STACK CHAIRS AND A NEW FREE MARKET One cube is a chair. Twenty cubes is a statement. Cube Stack Chairs Eligible chairs 74 Grid 5 x 8 Max cubes 20 All 74 Cube Chairs now build on a 5 x 8 grid . Place up to 20 cubes you own , side by side or stacked vertically. Your layout is remembered, and everyone on the map sees the same build . The old single-height layout is retired. This needs the new launcher DLL. The Free Market Remodel Room routes 22 Footholds 189 Ladders 4 The Free Market entrance (map 910000000) has a new layout, and all 22 room routes are still there. Footholds 157 189 Ladders 1 4 Backgrounds 35 42 Seats 2 1 New NPC: Claudine now stands in the Free Market. THE EXPERT PROGRAM - SEASON 0 Every veteran remembers the player who showed them the ropes. Now you can be that player, and get paid for it. The Expert Program pairs experienced players with brand-new ones. Mentors guide recruits through their first days, and when a recruit graduates, the mentor earns Donation Points. Season 0 is a small first round. Mentors Seats 10 Min level 275 Account age 14+ days Up to 10 mentors this season. Mentor accounts must be at least 14 days old with a character at level 275+ . Up to 5 active recruits and 10 links per mentor. Recruits Account age 7 days or less Max level 30 Recruit accounts must be 7 days old or less with no character above level 30 at linking. Links last 365 days . Payouts Full graduation 7,350 DP Season cap 50,000 DP Hold 72 hours A fully graduated recruit pays the mentor 7,350 DP . Payouts are held for 72 hours before they land. Each mentor can earn up to 50,000 DP per season. GROUP IRONMAN AND SEPARATE BOSS RESETS Group Ironman Leaders can now remove members , online or offline. Removed members go back to Solo Ironman and keep their items, with a permanent exit lock. New Group Ironman members must be level 1 to 9 . Level 10 and above cannot join. All-Ironman parties in Empress expeditions use the exact 1/6 difficulty and reward tier. Mixed parties keep the normal path. Normal and Ironman Resets Boss attempts, retries and Sengoku claims now reset only inside their own cohort . Resetting your Normal attempts no longer clears Ironman ones, and the other way around. CANNONEER - FULL SCALING AND NO MORE DRY FIRING The cannon no longer cares how many bullets you have left. Cannon Bazooka and Cannon Barrage used to sit flat at their final damage from level 30 to 40. They now climb from level 1, so every point you put in matters. The Cannoneer was also hitting too hard overall, so four skills are tuned down: Bazooka x0.876 , Barrage x0.853 , and Monkey Fury and Nautilus Strike x0.8 . Hits, targets, cooldowns and MP costs are unchanged. Cannon Bazooka (5 hits, 8 targets) Level Damage 1 121% 10 155% 20 193% 30 230% 36 253% 37 257% 40 268% Cannon Barrage (5 hits, 2 targets) Level Damage 1 383% 10 489% 20 607% 30 725% 36 796% 37 808% 40 843% Monkey Fury and Nautilus Strike (x0.8) Level Monkey Fury (4 hits, 15 targets) Nautilus Strike (7 hits, 15 targets) 1 622% 498% 541% 433% 10 991% 793% 746% 597% 20 1400% 1120% (max) 973% 778% 30 - 1200% 960% (max) Ammo: Fire Until the Last Bullet, and Then Some Cannoneer skills fire with one bullet left and with an emptied rechargeable stack . Skills do not consume bullets. With the updated client, Cannon Blaster, Cannon Strike, Blast Back, Scatter Shot, Monkey Fury and Nautilus Strike keep firing after a rechargeable stack hits 0. Spike, Bazooka and Barrage also fire with no item. Having no bullet item at all is still limited by the client. Normal attacks still need bullets, and every other ammo job keeps its normal no-ammo rule. Critical lines now count as proper physical critical hits, skills stay correctly identified after cache reloads, and Daily Quest credit no longer gets mixed up. Anchors Aweigh: recasting replaces the old anchor. Exactly one anchor lives at a time, and ghost anchors after expiry, death, map change or remote damage are gone. The Mega Monkey Magic animation plays cleanly to the end, and the Cannon Barrage recoil colors are fixed. SHADE - A 15% TUNE-DOWN The fox was hitting a little too hard for its first week. First- to third-job Shade skills lose 15% of their final maximum damage, and Spirit Claw comes down to 172%. Strength Training got a real top end in return. Skill Change Shade Strike 160% 136% Flash Fist 80% 68% Ground Pound 115% 98% Shockwave Punch 160% 136% Spirit Frenzy 175% 149% Spirit Claw 265% max 172% max (166% at levels 1-30, 167% to 172% at levels 31-40, 12 hits) Strength Training Lv 10: +60 STR Lv 20: +80 STR (levels 11-20 add +2 STR each) Shade stability: skill expiry, save and relog, the Death Mark auto-buff, Echo of Hero, Hero's Will stun recovery, Revolution equipment and restored Hyper ETC drops no longer lose or corrupt state. The Blessing of Fairy Potion (10% success) now works for Shades and Evans without eating the item. Spirit Trap stays unavailable until the client supports it. CLASS BALANCE - WARRIORS, MAGES, ARCHERS, THIEVES AND PIRATES Warriors and Mages Iron Body: max physical defense rate 0% 25% where it applies, and the flat defense bonus is applied on cast. Rush (Fighter, Page, Spearman): 80% x 2 lines x 6 hits at level 20. Dragon Blood: max attack +60. Guardian: stored value +40%. Lightning Charge: chains to up to 3 nearby extra targets within 500 range, up to 30,000 damage per bolt. Buff Mastery: cooldown-free self-buffs last at least 1 hour . Fervent Flame and Flashfire reflect 400% damage. Power Guard is capped at half damage against bosses and 10% of the mob's HP per hit. Archers and Thieves Marksman Snipe with High Speed Shot: levels 31/32/40 deal 433% / 459% / 542% , 8 hits, 1 target, no cooldown. Ranger Evasion Boost: 30% dodge at level 20. Hermit Claw Guard: +60 weapon defense and 5% dodge at level 20. Maha's Blessing: +30 WATK and +30 MATK at level 20. Plunder: +10% max HP at level 20. Night Walker Quintuple Star - Spread: the Hyper effect is now +50 WATK/MATK +1 max target , and the extra target now registers in game. Dark Omen no longer stops when you are hit while holding it. Meso Up: a lethal hit can leave you at 1 HP instead, with a 30-minute cooldown. Pirates Double Shot (Lv 20): 120% x 2 Somersault Kick: 100% x 2 x 6 Invisible Shot: 60% x 2 x 6 Recoil Shot: 130% x 2 Bullet Time (Lv 20): +100 accuracy, +20 avoidability, +20 speed, +10 jump Advanced Dash (Lv 10): +100 speed, +40 jump Corsair Battleship: the passive WATK is always on, and Cannon and Torpedo no longer need bullets or the ship. Rapid Fire: a Corsair with no bullets no longer does repeated melee swings, on foot or on the Battleship. Marauder Admiral's Wings: 20% less damage taken at level 20. Octopunch and Buccaneer Blast: a hit gives you a 1-second shield against ordinary mob and touch damage. Master of Organization (Explorer Pirate): learning it opens every inventory tab to the 96-slot cap. Retired skills: Grenade, Blank Shot and Octopus can no longer be learned or used, and your SP is returned. Attack Speed Fixes The server was rejecting some legitimately fast attacks. The accepted minimum speeds are now: Thunderbolt: 600 ms 540 ms , or 500 ms 450 ms with Speed Infusion Raging Blow: 840 ms 756 ms Booster: 300 ms 270 ms Speed Infusion: 240 ms 216 ms Anything faster is still rejected. These are the Tespia comparison values at levels 30 and 40. The live Shade curve is the one in the Shade section above. Skill Level 30 Level 40 Piercing Arrow 344% 362% 335% 353% Snipe 427% 520% 468% 570% Spiraling Vortex 262% 259% 279% 276% Flame Haze 696% 782% 801% 900% Paralyze 1671% 1766% 1882% 1989% Chain Lightning 507% 562% 603% 669% Shadow Icicle 501% 592% 561% 663% Big Bang 405% 477% 521% 614% Angel Ray 1572% 1808% 1760% 2025% Flame Vortex 403% 434% 485% 523% Dragon Blaze 2277% 2477% 2565% 2790% Bomb Punch 187% 137% 197% 145% Spirit Claw 225% 166% 235% 172% PERFECT PITCH GETS A WALLET It trades like mesos now, because it basically is mesos. The Wallet Perfect Pitch is hidden from your normal inventory and has its own trade row , just like mesos. Your tradeable balance can go into trade offers. Bound Pitch stays out of trades. Bound Pitch is spent first by default. The balance refreshes after login and after storage changes. The trade row needs the new client from the launcher. Storage and Selling Ore Storage banks your storable balance as one combined row. Hidden Pitch cannot be moved, dropped, traded as an item, sent through shops or Duey, or found in Guild Storage search. The Perfect Pitch widget merges several ETC stacks into one balance, deposits can span stacks, and Shift-click deposits everything. Deposit All still skips Perfect Pitch. Hired Merchant sales in Perfect Pitch now announce to the online owner: item, quantity, buyer, amount, your new balance and stock left. Offline sales still save, and sold-out messages say whether it was Pitch or mesos. Perfect Pitch From Bosses Eligible players now get the corrected Perfect Pitch amount from each boss. Difficulty shares are unchanged. Boss Perfect Pitch Balrog 20 Zakum 30 Krexel 40 Scarga 50 Horntail 60 Showa 160 Castellan Toad 170 Pink Bean, Chaos Pink Bean 180 Chaos Zakum 190 Chaos Horntail 200 Von Leon 210 Cygnus 220 Arkarium 230 Magnus 240 Chaos Von Bon, Crimson Queen, Pierre, Vellum, Lotus, Damien 245 EQUIPMENT, SCROLLS AND THE FUSION ANVIL Aura Pendant The Aura Pendant now sits in a working cash-overlay slot. It keeps its +5 all stats, +5 WATK and +5 MATK , keeps its set-bonus WATK through map loads, and stays stable through relogs and town-scroll storage. Fusion Anvil: Transfer Looks Permanent NX and cosmetic items can now pass their appearance onto compatible regular equipment, and the equipment keeps its base stats. Results are untradeable. Overall looks go on overalls. Temporary or mismatched sources are still refused. Masteria Gear Dragonic Tempest, Tempest Queen's Finger and Crusio can use the Masteria Grandmaster Accessory Scroll , and drag and drop works in the client. Dragonic Tempest and Tempest Queen's Finger are both sold by Mo and his Free Market copy for 1,000,000 mesos each. Pet Equipment Scrolls Town Hall shops sell pet equipment scrolls again (2048000, 2048001, 2048003, 2048004 and 2048010 to 2048013), and you can drag them straight onto a worn pet equip. Wedding rings, cash weapons and NX hats stay locked. SHOPS, GACHAPONS AND SUPERIOR CHAOS SCROLLS Donor Gachapon: Cheaper Rolls Weapon / Overall / Fashion 250 DP Pet / Skin 500 DP Weapon, Overall and Fashion rolls are now 250 DP . Pet and Skin rolls stay at 500 DP . Odds are unchanged: S 5%, A 10%, B 35%, C 50%. The Overall pool grows from 545 prizes 948 prizes , adding 403 overalls. The Skin pool goes 840 839 : damage-skin coupon 5535064 was removed. Prefer to pick? The Donor Cash Shop overall tab grows 570 overalls 970 overalls , each 4,250 DP . The NX Exchange tab has been removed from the Cash Shop. Crow's Utilities These moved from Inkwell to Crow : VIP Teleport Rock (90 days): 2,000,000 mesos Hyper Teleport Rock x3 (24 hours): 5,000,000 mesos Superior Scissors of Karma: 10,000,000,000 mesos Superior Chaos Scrolls Success 100% Slots used 1 Chosen stat +10 to +20 WATK / MATK +5 to +10 Six tiers, one per region. Each roll uses one slot, gives +10 to +20 of a stat you pick plus +5 to +10 WATK/MATK, and never fails. Tier Region / NPC Craft Reroll Take out I Leafre / Crow 500,000 200,000 300,000 II Phantom Forest / Nyx 5,000,000 5,000,000 Free III Pantheon / Ilya 10,000,000 10,000,000 Free IV Chaos Root Abyss / Oko 15,000,000 15,000,000 Free V Scrapyard / Foreman 20,000,000 20,000,000 Free VI Dark World Tree / Warden 25,000,000 25,000,000 Free Scroll Prices and Rates Fafnir Weapon Scroll: 100 Perfect Pitch 150,000 Perfect Pitch AbsoLab Weapon Scroll: 100 Perfect Pitch 250,000 Perfect Pitch AbsoLab Shield Scroll stays at 100. Chaos Scroll of Goodness at Agent E: 60% success 100% success . Mastery books and Chief, Temple and Ruin scrolls also use the corrected 100% rates. Surprise Style Box Mount-cover category: 12.5% 5% Tiny Bunny cover: 12.5% 2.5% Rabbit Mount cover: 12.5% 2.5% The freed chance goes to NX equipment, pets and chairs. NPCS, EXCHANGES AND ROLLBACK SAFETY New NPC: Claudine, Weapon Exchange Claudine is a new NPC in the Free Market who handles weapon exchanges. Every exchange is a straight fresh-base swap , with no receipt and no material refund. Her list includes the Empress Lionheart, Dragon Tail, Raven Horn, Falcon Wing and Shark Tooth weapons, including the Shark Tooth Supernova cannon. Hyper Resets Materials come back the way they went in: shares paid with tradeable materials return tradeable, and untradeable , legacy or GM-granted shares return untradeable. Mixed charges, partial resets, full resets and failures all keep the right flags. Sasuke Hyper ETCs: the reserved Luminous, Mercedes and Phantom Hyper I/II/III items are input-only and convert 1:1 into real items of the same tier for other classes. You will never receive a reserved item as output. Rollback-restored character-bound items: transfer, disassembly, absorption, refunds, incompatible fusion and laundering paths are refused without using up the item. Valid scrolls and Fusion Anvil results keep the character-bound marker. Navi: keyless routes work for every supported destination except Nameless Town, which still needs the Damien key. World chat: @w is off by default. Where it is turned on, its cooldown, level, mute and 100-character rules still apply. BUG FIXES - WHAT NO LONGER HAPPENS Morph-blocked attacks are dropped safely instead of disconnecting you. Anchors Aweigh leaves exactly one live anchor, no more ghosts. Akatsuki Will keeps your food attack bonuses when recast. Sengoku skill expiry no longer rolls back on save, relog or channel change. Shade state survives save, relog, the Death Mark auto-buff, Echo of Hero, Hero's Will and Revolution equipment. Equipment tooltips: Critical Rate, Critical Damage, Boss Damage, Final Damage, Superior Gems and Absorbed rows stay on the right item after sorting, scrolling, sockets, absorption and Fredrick returns. Hired Merchant close: with a full inventory, what fits comes back and the rest goes to Fredrick with a count message. Sold-out rows do not take a slot, and taking an item back into a full tab shows the free-slot notice instead of doing nothing. Megaphone: the chat target that used to say To Spouse is now Megaphone. Super Megaphone uses one item per valid send, enforces the 60-character limit and cooldowns, and clicking the sender opens a whisper when native chat is on. Superior Gems show the right gem count in item megaphone links, in both modern and classic chat. Blessing of Fairy Potion works for Shades and Evans without losing the item. Daily Login weekly status only counts the current week. Citizenship Perfect Pitch rewards retry after a full inventory. Cash Shop disconnects: a connection drop inside the Cash Shop logs you out cleanly instead of leaving a stuck channel-change session. Rush: the repaired Rush files (1101112, 1201113, 1301111) no longer cause missing-file, corruption, black-screen or startup crashes. Superior Chaos Scroll NPCs: region hub menus no longer show missing item icons that disconnected players whose Item.wz did not have the new scrolls yet. Expert Program Fleta: older clients no longer receive her NPC template, which fixes the disconnect when entering Henesys. Updated clients can still use her. Pet Label Ring tooltips with unsupported styles clamp safely instead of disconnecting you. CLIENT UPDATES - PATCH WITH THE LAUNCHER Ore Storage and Guild Storage have native windows: Withdraw and Deposit tabs, category filters, search, scrolling, quantity dialogs, meso controls, an Activity Log for Guild Storage, Esc and Ctrl+F shortcuts, and safe loading when something goes wrong. Pet name tags and chat balloons: 148 name-tag styles and 148 chat-balloon styles now cover 186 pets. Cape and wing effects , including Darkness Chaser Wings , loop properly with the right anchors instead of missing or drifting. Inferno Blaze plays one sound per cast (about 2.5 seconds). Recasts do not stack loops, and cancel or expiry stops the sound. Mega Monkey Magic and Cannon Barrage animations are cleaned up. Moon chairs: Hayato's Moonlight and Mapler on the Moon draw you fully opaque, and the Moonlit Flower Field Chair seats you on the flowers facing either way. Masteria Grandmaster Accessory Scrolls and pet equipment scrolls can be dragged onto their gear. Cube Stack Chairs need the matching DLL. A welcome-back week for old friends, a taller chair for everyone else, and two more weeks of maple leaves. Patch up, stack your cubes, and see you in Momijigaoka before October 11. Please update your client with the launcher before logging in to get the new chairs, storage windows, pet name tags and fixes. Thanks for all the reports and tickets this week, everyone. Happy Mapling! ~ Kuro
