Added more batch sales
For your convenience, Ice Burners can now be bought in batches of 50 and 100.
Exascale Set Effect Revamp
As previously announced in the notice for the maintenance on Thursday, August 8th, we have observed that the conditions to fully benefit from the Exascale Armor set effect, as well as the differences in gameplay patterns among characters, have caused inconvenience in usability and set selection. In consideration of this, we aim to relax the conditions required to activate the effect and mitigate the disadvantages as much as possible. Additionally, to prevent unintended excessive effects from occurring differently from the intended gameplay, certain aspects of the Exascale Armor set effects will be changed.
System Chip Reset Ticket added
This new item allows you to reset the tuning progress of a System Chip, setting it to +0.
It can be obtained through the Serpentium Raid or be purchased via the Item Mall.
*System Chip Reset Ticket can be used up to 3 times per T.E.S. System Chip item.

14 mil cp for endgame what??? The new raid will push supports to go for +12 if they want to access the new raid and with the current state of game's economy when a piece of IB accessory costs as much as 15 bil (necklace, ring) in NA and will pretty much go higher now that Kog decided to increase the price of IBs, I don't see the future of Elsword going well as Kog became even more money hungry.
The problems are the players. No need to complain. If you want to enjoy the game, no need to pay to win. If you want to get stronger and faster at the same time enjoy tye game, then PAY to WIN!
I'm shocked ngl. I'm playing on EU with Full+12 / Stage 5 & max abyss stones etc etc etc and I've 15.4m CP. What is the freaking plan with that Raid-CPs damn... Exascale needs to ...scale... the CP higher than everything else and needs to throw supports up to 15m too.
That whole CP system transformed to a devils advocate for KOG and now they've to fix it...
not to defend the Devil but in KR before the raid there was people that surpassed the 20kk CP.
if they set the CP requeriment too low, on the long run the raid will fall to be an average dung and not a raid dung
I suppose that's somewhat fair. KR is the original server, after all.
The IB update, exactly like the enhance and PvP updates, is trash and doesn't solve even a little the disgusting problems that there are. KOG really likes to continuously confirm what a trash disgusting company it is
they should restrict pvp for duelist weapon only
Can you tell me about the defensiveness and hp of the new raid?
Thanks!! but not yet for level 1 and 2?
All of them are on the right side.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!
nice domain you have here would be sad if someone else bought it
I guess LV 4 are 15Mio CP? It is hard for supporters to reach these. Wait and see how this develops :)
They want you to use exascale before you even attempt
XDXDXDDXD MAX .4% for a total of 250 pulls, no fcking way I would spend for 1 pity piece XDXDXD Although it was already expected from KOG and their rat players, now watch the ibs getting expensive and with the same lame chance or even worse.
Ahhh, jokes aside. Its just another pay wall from KOG until they start to nerf the new armor/weps reqs, but if they do that, then it mean there is another paywall... ehem... I mean "amazing region-raid update". I look forward for players quitting again or another protest from KR, and only KR players because NA likes to spend for sht updates
The CP inflation is unreal it puts sonic fandom to shame
Really? A 60% price increase? With abysmal chance still? Also, LMAO at that 4% points increase per 10 IB. I feel like this is just to encourage people to spend more to reach 100% points for that guaranteed expensive pieces to sell
when even specify tene or higher for the new area/raid. you're never hitting those cp levels without it
should've given out a +13 VoS
