Dear players,

There is a known issue where new adamantine equipment sets are configured with same base damage and defense as mystic sets. This was not intended and will be addressed soon by replacing them with higher damage and defense stats. We will tentatively patch this issue on Sunday December 29 around 11pm eastern 8pm Pacific. A brief sever restart would be needed to activate the patch.

Happy Holidays,
Admin / Playmage Support

December 29, 2024 Patch

- Reduced New Faction War 2 bosses HP down to 8B. (originally increased from 4B to 12B)
- Doubled faction point rewards for Faction War 2 to compensate for (now) doubled boss HP.
- Underworld damage absorption starts at 3B instead 5B to give more players a chance to participate.
- Underworld downtime will be reduced to 3 hours similar to Fallen and Atlantis.
- Mystic Repairs now heals Mystics 1.25% per stone count instead of 1%.
- Increased Adamantine and Greater Adamantine set gears stats to be greater than those of the Mystics sets.

Happy Holidays!
Admin / Playmage Support

UPDATE: Since the Kong S2/Mobile/MS server has fewer top players right now, the Underworld damage absorption start will remain at 5B on that server.
