Patch 6.52 - Blessing of Fire and Ice

This patch features two new playable jobs based on the Archer and Cleric base classes.

Moreover, we've revamped basically how the entire server progression works. Our hopes are making gearing more streamlined and easy to comprehend what you should be doing next.

Frozen TKN also arrives this patch for end-game players to challenge and obtain new Talisman and Runes.

There's a lot more to read below, without further ado, let's get started with the full details this patch.

Last Updated 2024/08/12 (Added Follow-Up section at the bottom)

New Playable Classes

The long awaited custom jobs: Arctic Ranger and Searing Knight are now available!

You can use a Class Change scroll to switch over to the desired spec, or if you've already created a new Archer or Cleric, simply utilise the Class Specialist NPC in Milla Laurel to complete your advancements.

Arctic Ranger

As Archer travels further north, she picks up new skills from the northern tribe, adding ice magic to her repertoire.
She eventually learns how to use healing magic to protect herself on the journey because of how difficult the terrain is there.

She is going to be an essential component in her party now that she has returned to Altera and added her support kits to her arsenal.

❇️
Arctic Ranger is a custom made Ice Healer. Not only does she have potent support abilities in her arsenal, she also can bring some serious damage when she empowers herself.

Arctic Ranger is not tailored for leveling progression, nor is she tailored for PvP.

We highly suggest to begin playing her at Level 90 as her skills are designed to be played at that level.

Searing Knight

The Squire packs some powerful punches that can be devastating to enemies. With the new teaching at Cleric Academy, he distinguishes himself from other Clerics by bringing Fire-embued Spells to the table.

After several years of academy training, Squire has vowed to protect his teammates. Searing Knight brings even more support utilities, as well as more dangerous Fire spells.

And with his powerful offensive buffs to the party, he will surely prove his worth.

❇️
Searing Knight is a custom made Fire Healer that leans toward an offensive healer, bringing an impactful fire power to the team.

Searing Knight is not tailored for leveling progression, nor is he tailored for PvP.

We highly suggest to begin playing him at Level 90 as his skills are designed to be played at that level.

Frozen Typhoon Kim Nest

Introduction

With this patch, we are introducing Frozen Typhoon Kim! This is our first major content since we've removed "Trinity" mechanics, therefore you won't find a single one in there! Bring whatever composition you like!

He's big, he's blue, he's mean, and his rage is true! Please welcome back our beloved champion of Orcs, Typhoon Kim!

Typhoon Kim is back in all of his glory, but just because he's "frozen" doesn't mean he's not as hot-blooded as ever! Challenging him will provide you with new Unique Talismans, the item to re-roll them, the item to "evolve" them into Legendary talismans, as well as the items to create and enhance Legendary Runes! We hope you enjoy this nest, as it will be one of our last releases of the year. As per usual, if you have any suggestions, please leave your constructive criticism in our suggestions channel in our Discord.

Frozen TKN comes in two version. A Solo/Duo version where you can, as the name implies, solo or duo it. The other version is a Party version, where you will need four members to even enter.

💡
Please note that mechanics do not differ between versions, only HP and drop quantities are different. Solo/Duo gives less, and Party gives more. These instances do not share a clear count.
