Update General Patch Notes: Halloween 2025

Welcome to the general Patch notes for the Halloween 2025 patch!

This is going to be a minor patch, with an event that only lasts two weeks, as we aim to then release a Christmas update in a more appropriate timeframe.

Players that joined the spooky celebrations last year will notice how this is a full re-release of the same event format. While we did have a completely new one planned, and partially worked on, the same real-life constraints that caused this patch to be delayed by over one month made us prefer to bring back content that was already proven stable, rather than hoping to rush new mechanics and scripts into working order as soon as possible.
We appreciate your patience with us on this. We'll do our best to provide better updates moving forward!

Because the Balance changes and the client update (v1.32) are minor, they will be included in this thread.


General Changes

• The Halloween Event is now active! You can read all about it here.
  • The Freemarket Entrance has been reverted to its vanilla version, for a quick nostalgia hit before the cold will set in.
  • A short list of the most notable difference from last year's event version:
    • The Zombie Essence used to upgrade Zombie Army Rings now has a 100% success rate (up from 75%).
    • The Raffle prize pool is overall more profitable.
    • Text for the "Trick or Treat!" quest (islander event content) has been finally corrected to mention the request of 100 candies, instead of 50.
      • Actual requirement is unchanged.

• Are you over level 180? Have you been keeping up with your Challenge tiers, and completed tier 3? Then, Mr. Wetbottom has an important assignment for you.
  Help him with his laundry duties, and he will reward you with a special and unique prize!
  • Note: having claimed any HP/MP from Challenges is NOT a requirement.

• The Cash Shop has been updated with a few new items, including custom designs from our community!

  • CAPOO Shuriken
  • Black Bat Throwing Stars
  • Crystal Ilbi Throwing Stars

Balance updates

「 Night Lord 」

• Shadow Shifter
  • Passive component of the skill has been restored, at a lower success rate than before (level 30: 20% avoidability rate).
  • Active effect: can now also evade unavoidable attacks.

We may have tuned the avoid changes a bit harder than expected after the community has had a chance to try the post-anniversary patch. Based on the most recent feedback, we have reverted part of Shadow Shifter to include the passive but also retain active shifter as a strategic option in certain scenarios.

Please stay tuned for other class updates that we have planned and thank you for the continued feedback.

「 Zakum 」

• Zakum entrance requirements have been lowered from 6 people to 1 person.

Client updates

• Fixed an issue that caused our new custom basic stat update to give stats that would not influence equipment wear requirements.
  • As a result, basic stats (STR DEX INT LUK) from the Two-Eyed Goblin's Blessing buff from our summer event should now contribute as expected.

• The arrow from Marksman's Pierce is now correctly animated, instead of being a static frame.
  
  Spoiler

  

• The client functionality of Shadow Shifter has been updated, to enable all of the different variations now available (NL passive, NL active evading everything, Shad active not evading unavoidable attacks).

Changes and Bugfixes
Items:

• "Circle Chairs" now alternate their heights, much like the Olympic rings.
  • Namely, the Blue, Black and Red Circle Chairs are higher above the ground.
• "Maple Dagger" color scheme has been corrected.
  
• Chairs with a broken transparency gradient have been fixed.
  • Namely, this applies to the Queen of Fairies Throne and the Core Blaze Chair.

Skills:

• Mages' Big Bang skills no longer blind the whole map.
