▷ Information about the 1.409 build update

📢 Darkness Front Yard Level Expansion

- Levels 201 to 300 have been added to the Darkness Front Yard.

- After the Version 1.409 update, you must clear Level 196 or higher manually (without using the Sweep feature) to challenge Level 201 or higher. Even if you have already cleared Level 196 or higher in the past, you must clear it again manually after the update. Please keep this in mind!

- New Runes Added: Normal Runes (Levels 11–15), Secondary Skill Runes, and Tertiary Skill Runes (Levels 4–8) have been added.

※ Since Primary Skill Runes provide a high stat increase per level, the existing cap of Level 3 will remain in place to maintain balance.

- A one-time special clear reward has been added for Town Chiefs who clear the new levels for the first time.

🎙️Other informations

- The [Ice Kingdom] Town Chief costume, capturing the essence of winter, has been added.

- The effect of the riding pet equipment [Corrupted Curse Reins] "Increases damage taken by enemy increase status effect by N%" was previously applied only to the Summon Archer’s Summon Phoenix Skill, and the Dark Paladin’s Dark Weapon skill, but following the 1.409 update, it has been changed to also apply to the Dark Knight’s Mistilteinn skill “Inflicts an N% increased damage from critical hits status effect.”

- Fixed an issue where, during quests to reach a certain number of enhancement and upgrade attempts, the count would occasionally be off by one upon success.

- Fixed an issue where the “Ignore N% of Defense” effect was not applying correctly in the Corrupted Ranch content.
