10/26 Patch Notes

Translator Notes

This post includes all information from the beginning of October onwards due to low density in content releases. I'm merging it again like I did with September.
Aside from old event/shop updates, today's patch brings a considerable amount of content, though.

First of all, a new Q&A was announced on the 10/12, and KoG is taking inquiries about anything game-related.

The results of this Q&A event will be announced during an offline meeting. They will stream this on Youtube.
A summary of what they will have said will be posted here on Babel.
The offline event will be held on Saturday, November 4.

Developer Notes

Among opinions about the Guild system, there were many regarding the supply and demand of Guild Coins.
Through this update, we will improve the convenience of Guild Fountain and Guild Chest.

In the case of Guild Coins, we considered the gap of acquisition between small and large guilds.
The reward from Guild Expedition based on level is increased to help with Guild Coin supply for smaller guilds.
It is a relatively meaningful change in proportion to total Guild Coins acquired.
We also added a pity system to the Guild Fountain that lets you pick the maximum value after failing n times.

In the case of Guild Chest, we have been receiving constant inquiries about sorting and stacking of items.
We found implementing an inventory-like system difficult, so we added a feature that lets you sort items and automatically stacks duplicates.

Adventurers are constantly asking about balance patches.
Future balance patches will be carried out irregularly rather than on a regular basis.
For the time being, we plan our balance patches to cover specific character(s) rather than all skills across the board.
We will provide further explanation at the offline event, and a balance patch is currently scheduled for Thursday, November 9.
Please note that the pre-notice for the upcoming balance patch will be announced on Saturday, November 4.
