Update General Patch Notes: Winter Holiday 2024

Welcome to the general Patch notes for the Winter Holiday patch!

Our seasonal Winder Holiday Events is accompanied by a set of minor balance updates, and some client (v1.28) and system changes.

You can find info about the Balance changes for this patch in this thread.


General Changes

• The Winter Holiday Event All information can be found by clicking here
  • The Freemarket Entrance received a seasonal makeover!
  • Notable differences in the Snowman fight from last year:
    • Fall damage in the Snowman boss map has been removed.
    • Healing relics now also damage the Snowman and its summons, on pick up.
    • Prize pools have been reworked.

• The Adventurer Scroll PQ teleport system has been implemented.
  • Rosa in Lith Harbor will have a new quest for you, if you're over level 10 and in a Victoria Island town: you will obtain the Adventurer Scroll.
  • Double-click it to open our first custom interface of the game, with which you will be able to quickly teleport to various PQ lobbies in the game.
    
    Spoiler: List of teleport locations

    • Henesys PQ : Victoria Road - Henesys Park
    • Kerning PQ : Victoria Road - Kerning City
    • Ludibrium PQ : Ludibrium - Eos Tower 101st Floor
    • Ellin PQ : Ellin Forest - Deep Fairy Forest
    • Orbis PQ : Orbis - The Unknown Tower
    • Ludi Maze PQ : Ludibrium - Ludibrium
    • Magatia PQ (Romeo) : Zenumist - Hidden Room
    • Magatia PQ (Juliet) : Alcadno - Hidden Room
    • Pirate PQ : Herb Town - Over the Pirate Ship
    • Amoria PQ : Hidden Street - Amos' Training Ground
  • There is no limit to the number of times the Adventurer Scroll can be used. However, teleport to a PQ lobby is a single charge, and the player must complete the relative PQ in order to obtain a new one.

Client updates

• Support for custom interfaces has been completed, and is now entering live testing phase.
  • The first custom interface will be the Party Quest Teleport, which will handle warping players to specific maps when available.
  • While the interface has been tested extensively, we cannot rule out possible issues, and we encourage everyone to report them to us.
  • In any case, a failsafe PQ teleport mechanic is already implemented and ready to be toggled on, should that be necessary.

• Setting the White Scroll prompt to True in our ini file no longer causes the client to crash upon trying to scroll an item.

• Skill Macros no longer accept multiple copies of the same attack on the same macro.
  • As a result of this new limitation, Meteor Shower, Blizzard, Genesis and Dragon Roar can now again be included in skill macros.

• Non-cash expiring items now use the same string as cash items, to display expiration date ("Available until yyyy/mm/dd at hh:mm").
