Boss nerfs, base HP buffed for every class, and Hard mode comes to Urugugu and Vakron — October 28 patch notes

The notes open with the week's most consequential call: Expedition and Transcendence bosses get weaker. This isn't a tweak to one specific fight — it's the boss attribute being cut across every difficulty tier.

The official read is clear: lower-progression characters were dying in a single hit, and groups were running out the clock. The patch touches Attack, Damage Increase, and HP — each one in the tier where the problem showed up.

Two new dungeons join the Hard rotation: Urugugu Canyon and Vakron Sky Island. The gate is 2,700 Item Level — a hundred points above what Krao and Draupnir asked for last week.

The pacing rules are the same as the previous Hard mode: boss Frenzy at 4 minutes and 3 resurrections per player. A group that loses people early has no way to recover within the clock.

The Ariel Fragment is still the currency for the Daevanion board opened last week — and now it gets two conversion routes with very different caps.

The Daevanion Crystal: Ariel route is expensive and limited. The Enhancement Stone route is cheap and has no limit, which turns surplus fragments into an infinite enhancement resource.

The second half of the survival adjustment is here. All eight classes move up from 4,702 base HP at level 45. Gladiator and Templar gain 1,500; the other six gain 1,000.

The notes justify it through melee: with boss Attack cut and base HP higher, melee classes can face the boss head-on without dropping to the first hit. But the buff is universal — nobody's left out.

Aside from base HP, the Assassin is the only class getting a skill tweak this week. There are two lines, and both point to the same place: staying alive longer inside the fight.

A new Daily Dungeon opens: the Odylium Repository. The reward is Soul Crystal (Bound) in a fixed amount, set by your completion points.

The detail that matters for your routine: the entry count is shared with the Daeva Bioresearch Base. It's not extra content — it's a new choice inside the same daily budget.

With the server transfer period closing out, the Breeze Association tab gets a cleanup: items change shelves, an entire tab disappears, and purchase limits stop being per character and become per server, per week.

Two weekly quests swap rewards. The move is the same in both: Abyss Lower Floor Rift Stone becomes the prize — and in one of them, Abyss Points disappear for good.

This is the week's long-term progression change. The Amplification cap for Crafted Gear rises so that Crafted and Expedition pieces with comparable attributes share the same maximum Amplification level — which, in practice, unlocks Transfer between the two lines.

The check-in event Atreia's Call opens with the maintenance and runs for over a month. It's 28 days of rewards, viewable in [Game Menu > Attendance].

The cycle is symmetrical: days 1–14 repeat almost entirely in days 15–28, with two jumps in quantity for the Spirit Stone of Resurrection.

Two armor sets join the Atelier. The difference between them isn't the price — it's the contents: Vulpine Sunshower brings 6 pieces, including a Helmet and a Mantle; No-Nonsense Maid brings 4 and is Bound.

Both cost $29.99 and pay out 4,350 Mileage.

The Secret Teatime line covers the game's eight weapons, one per class. Each piece costs $11.99 and pays out 1,750 Mileage — and each one can only be bought by its matching class.

The rest of this week's showcase: two pets, one pair of wings, two helmets, and nine accessories. Purchase limits vary a lot — some are once per server, the wings are once per character, and the two helmets have no limit.

The new pass is Prelude to Flight, in [Game Menu] → [Subscribe]. It's 50 levels plus infinite repeat, with a free Basic track and a Premium track for 1,000 Quna.

The bottleneck isn't the price — it's the 15,000 EXP per character, per week cap. With eight EXP sources and that limit, the pass is a five-week marathon, not a sprint.

The improvements section is the notes' most aggressive. Three lines target botting and account abuse: the gathering cap, the gathering minimum level, and the character deletion waiting period. Five others touch game pacing and the Abyss Lower Floor.

The notes close with six fixes, the teardown of what's left of the server transfer, and three lines of compensation. The most relevant fix is the resurrection count in Hard mode — a bug that cost whole attempts.
