[Laudna]

Warriors, the Pumpkin Moon has risen again over Arinar, bringing exciting new updates and changes to the game! In this changelog, we'll go over the highlights of the event and the latest tweaks to class attributes and effects. Let's dive into the details of Update 1.31!
 

Holiday Quests
First up, you'll notice a fresh new look for all Pumpkin Moon quests – now, they're unmistakably festive!

The Dreamworld Fair has grown even larger, and the people of Pumpkin Moon need your help! There are six all-new quests to explore:

• Enter a pumpkin lantern carving contest
• Try your hand at a shell game with the Swindler
• Use your wits to find hidden caches in the Dreamworld
• Help lost ribbons find their way back home
• Brew up a batch of special Pumpkin Moon Punch with different flavors
• Team up with friends to draw magical runes and face your fears together

Daily Prophecies
A new season means new prophecies! Visit the Fortune Teller every day to learn your fate – and be sure to give her pet a friendly hello from us while you're there!

World Boss
The Dream Reaper is back and ready to wreak havoc in the Dreamworld! You can challenge him once a day for a chance at some great rewards, and this year we've added the Monster Slayer's Key to the loot pool.

 

Gorgor Contracts
Party contracts are back! Gather your friends, complete the contract requirements, and earn rewards such as Knowledge, Gold, and experience!

 

Attractions
Before you try any of the attractions, be sure to talk to the NPCs for tips on how to do well. They'll give you the guidance you need to maximize your rewards.

We've also adjusted the balance of the attractions so that they all offer similar rewards. Gather your friends and embark on the adventure to earn Gold, Knowledge, and Festive Pumpkins!

 

 Relics of Hidden Knowledge
As you participate in Pumpkin Moon activities, you'll earn Festive Pumpkins, a special currency that can be used to purchase the Relics of Hidden Knowledge. Last year's Prophetic Dream Casket is still available in the Premium Store, along with the new chest.

Inside these Relics, you'll find:

• Gold, Soul Shards, and Shadow Shards
• Contemplator Robe & Contemplator Arsenal
• Simple Armor Alloy
• Diamonds
• Dream Totem

Follow the link for a closer look at the costume and its story:

Dream Totem
The Dream Totem is now even more valuable, as summoned creatures now give experience points when defeated!

Pumpkin Farm
The long-awaited return of the Pumpkin Farm is here! Your very own farm is back for Pumpkin Moon, and now comes with handy instructions. If you have any questions about pumpkin farming, June the Twin is here to help!

This year, as you requested, we've also added a timer to your crops, so you'll know exactly how much time is left before they're fully grown. 

To plant pumpkins, you'll need seeds and fertilizer, which can be found in dungeons, by defeating bosses, and from event quests.

Dream Harvest
Your crops are packed with valuable rewards this year! Some exciting new treasures in this year's Dream Harvest include:

• Knowledge
• Pumpkin Spirit Costume
• Stylish Wisdom Catalog
• Event Consumables
• Simple Accessory Alloy
• Dream Totem
• Arena and Dungeon Boosters

And if pumpkins and kittens aren't your thing, don't worry – last year's Dream Harvest, featuring the Nightmare Catcher Robe, is still available in the Premium Store!

Dreamworld
The event area has expanded, introducing new activities and secrets to discover! Take a closer look at the locals – they have stories to share!

In addition to the holiday event, we've made some important changes to the game mechanics!

Updated Attributes and Effects
We've made several adjustments to attributes and effects, laying the groundwork for future class updates.

Dodge and Block
Dodge and Block now apply to a wider range of skills than just auto-attacks and targeted abilities. These attributes automatically apply to all character skills unless otherwise noted in the skill description. We've also added hints to all abilities that can be affected by Dodge or Block.

However, Dodge and Block still won't affect damage over time effects such as Burn, Poison, or Bleeding, and they also don't apply to most boss abilities.

Hex and Corrosion
We've replaced the Fission effect with two new ones:

 Hex: Reduces Resistance by 20%

Corrosion: Reduces Armor by 20%

Here's how these new effects are applied by different classes:

• The Mage's Energy Wave ability with the active Fire Energy upgrade now applies Hex.
• The Shadow's Thousand Blades ability with the active Armor Splitter upgrade now applies Corrosion.
• The Shadow's Invisibility ability with the active Shadow Clone Technique upgrade now has a chance to apply Corrosion.
• The Guardian's Taunt ability with the active Bone-Chilling Howl upgrade now applies Corrosion.
• The Hunter's Acid Rain ability with the active Corrosion upgrade now applies Corrosion.
• The Hunter's Summon Spirit ability with the active Unbridled Assault upgrade now applies Corrosion.
• The Hunter's Lord of the Sky ability with the active Dragonslayer Arrows upgrade now has a chance to apply Corrosion.

Remember, different damage over time effects apply in different ways:

• Burn: Magic Damage
• Bleeding and Poison: Physical Damage

Bosses and monsters that previously applied Fission will still be able to reduce your Resistance and Armor in a similar way with these new effects.

Silence and Shackles
We've also made similar, but deeper changes to the Silence effect.

From now on, every active ability now falls into one of two categories: a Skill or a Spell. You can easily check the type of an ability by looking at its description.

Currently, each class has 9 abilities that follow this pattern: Guardians, Shadows, and Hunters have 3 skills and 2 spells, while Mages and Alchemists have 3 spells and 2 skills. As we introduce new abilities in the future, we will stick to this structure to maintain class balance.

The reason for these changes is tied to the update to Silence. We've split it into two different effects: Silence and Shackles. Both prevent your character from using certain abilities, but each targets a different type:

 Silence prevents you from using Spells.

 Shackles prevent you from using Skills.

With these changes, abilities that apply these new effects now work as follows:

• The Mage's Energy Wave ability with the active Ice Energy upgrade now applies Shackles to the target.
• The Hunter's Acid Rain ability now applies Silence to enemies.
• The Alchemist's Protective Barrier ability with the active Antimagic Shield upgrade now applies Shackles.

We've also updated the Resilience Scroll from the Guild Store. It now grants protection from both Silence and Shackles, but no longer affects Slowdown.

By weakening one type of control effect, we aim to make combat more engaging and cooperative. By splitting the control effects, players will have to work together – combining the strengths of different classes – to completely disable an enemy's abilities.

Other Changes

• Keys are now listed as rewards in the Quest Journal for defeating world bosses.
• Fixed a bug that was causing problems with quests in the Adamantine Caves and the Path of the Faceless areas.
• Fixed a bug that was incorrectly displaying world boss rewards.
• Fixed a bug that was preventing hardened equipment from reaching its maximum upgrade level.
• Items purchased from merchants will no longer count toward the completion of the Hoarder assignment.
• Some quest and event reward letters now have expiration dates in the mailbox. Previously received letters are not affected by this change.
• Fixed a bug where world boss kills wouldn't count toward guild assignment progress.
• Updated the description of the Hunter's Mettle effect in the Easy Prey ability to correct an error.

Happy Pumpkin Moon, and see you in the game!
Team Skylore
