Miss Out and Lose Out? Recharge Stone Crafting and Event Dungeon Added!

On Wednesday, September 9, an update was released featuring the addition of the GENESIS Grace Equipment Enhancement Scroll—a new scroll that prevents equipment destruction—along with a Potential Holy Water extraction feature. Additionally, adjustments to hunting ground balance were made, including buffs to Legendary Spirits and shifting Nine Core drop rates from lower-tier hunting grounds to higher-tier ones. Here is a roundup of SOL: enchant (hereafter SOL) news for the week following the update.

Double Dungeons in September? Dungeon-related Events Underway

With this update, an event has begun allowing players to craft Time Recharge Stones for the event dungeon 'Healing Forest', Special Dungeons, and World Dungeons. Like many previous event dungeons, Healing Forest involves hunting event monsters for 5 minutes to acquire a large quantity of consumables and materials. Unlike previous events, the monsters offer a substantial amount of EXP, making it a great boost for leveling up for Inheritors between Level 45 and Level 50.

The Dungeon Time Recharge Stone crafting event is also noteworthy. Players can craft dungeon recharge stones for 30,000 Nine each—items that previously could only be obtained through limited means such as Diamonds or GENESIS Spec-up Scrolls. Up to 5 stones can be crafted per week for each dungeon per character, which is expected to significantly accelerate character growth.

In particular, because it includes dungeons that offer large amounts of Nine and EXP—such as the Tower of Gods, Sky Island, and Hellfire Sanctuary—spending 30,000 Nine will yield more Nine in return for most players. Be sure not to forget to craft them every week and play the dungeons.

New Enhancement Scroll with No Equipment Destruction Arrives!

The GENESIS Grace Equipment Enhancement Scroll is a new enhancement scroll usable on weapons or armor of +4 or higher. Unlike standard enhancements, equipment is not destroyed even if the enhancement fails. Since using Cursed Scrolls and Holy Scrolls to reach +5 weapons was the most common method, the number of players attempting +6 enhancement with Grace Scrolls has increased dramatically.

However, some Inheritors mistook this scroll for an Equipment Protection Voucher rather than an equipment enhancement scroll itself, using a standard enhancement scroll after applying the Grace Scroll and resulting in their equipment being destroyed. This issue occurred because attempting an enhancement with a Grace Scroll does not show a separate animation like normal enhancements. If you are an Inheritor who has not yet used a Grace Scroll, keep in mind that the Grace Scroll itself is a one-time enhancement scroll that prevents destruction.

Furthermore, Grace Scrolls can only be purchased once per account. Even if an item that used a Grace Scroll is sold to another account via the Exchange, a Grace Scroll cannot be used on it a second time. When a Grace Scroll is used, a message is added at the bottom of the item stating that additional Grace Scrolls cannot be used until Wednesday, September 23. Therefore, if you are purchasing equipment with enhancement in mind, make sure to check whether a Grace Scroll has already been used.

Damage Reduction Added to Defense! How Does It Feel for Top-tier Players?

In the Wednesday, September 9 update, a mechanic was introduced where 1 PvE Damage Reduction is added for every 10 Physical Defense starting from 100 Physical Defense. Among top-tier Inheritors, Defense—which previously only affected Evasion—is evaluated as having been improved significantly. However, for most players, reaching 100 Physical Defense is not easy, so the impact is barely felt.

Inheritors playing the Knight class, which naturally builds Defense easily but suffers the most monster attacks due to short attack range, welcomed this patch the most. In fact, Inheritors with Defense exceeding 200 responded positively, sharing feedback that hunting runs smoothly even when dropping down a tier in health potion quality.

The efficiency of Defense-related Collections, previously considered a white elephant, has also risen significantly within ultra-high-spec ranges, prompting research into reaching Defense thresholds in increments of 10. In particular, some top-tier Inheritors are showing interest in previously cost-ineffective content like Constellations, impacting existing systems as well.

Lower-Tier Zone Adjustments: Benefit or Loss?

With adjustments to Nine Core and Equipment Enhancement Scroll drop rates in the Caltheon region, the Nine Core drop rate was reduced in lower-tier hunting grounds from Medena Forest to Orc Settlement, and transferred so that Orc monsters in Razka Shaman Land now drop Nine Cores instead. Additionally, the Holy Scroll drop rate in the Dungeon of Despair was reduced, while Guardian monsters in Grana Sanctuary were updated to drop Holy Scrolls.

While this patch appears aimed at targeting 'bot farms' by lowering farming efficiency in low-level hunting grounds and increasing the value of higher-tier areas, the 20 new beginner Collections introduced at the same time point in the opposite direction. Thanks to these new Collections, which grant stats when registering Common weapons and armor dropped in lower-tier zones, some gear previously traded for 10 Diamonds is now trading at high prices exceeding 100 Diamonds.

Overall, this patch appears to be a measure to prevent an oversupply of Nine Cores and Holy Scrolls on the Exchange to stabilize market prices while maintaining the actual reward value of lower-tier hunting grounds. In fact, with most players currently focusing on the new Collections, the reward value of lower-tier zones is expected to be even higher in the short term than before the patch.

Accessory Max Enhancement Expanded Up to +9!

The maximum enhancement stage for accessories has been expanded from +5 to +9. Although an expansion of enhancement stages was teased when accessory enhancement was added on Wednesday, August 26, its arrival came faster than expected for many Inheritors, causing quite a stir.

First off, supply for Accessory Enhancement Scrolls quickly dried up across most servers. As a result, more players are crafting Accessory Enhancement Scrolls through GENESIS Spec-up crafting. Because accessory enhancement features level drops rather than destruction upon failure, the risk of failing an enhancement on expensive accessories is lower, encouraging many players to attempt enhancements.

On the Lindel World Exchange, a necklace enhanced all the way to +8 even appeared for sale. Currently listed at 100,000 Diamonds, it features somewhat modest enhancement options of +1.1% Damage Increase and +100 Max HP, but considering the expected cost of reaching +8, it can effectively name its own price at present.

Accumulating World Diamonds: What Is the Schedule for High God Selection?

On Wednesday, September 2, Dev Note #11 provided details regarding the role and Divine Rights of the upcoming High God. Some Inheritors anticipated that the High God would also be introduced during the God Selection on Saturday, September 5, but only Server Gods were selected as before. Amid fierce power dynamics across servers triggered by the World Exchange, the amount of Diamonds to be awarded as High God inheritance rewards is accumulating rapidly, intensifying competition for the High God throne.

While the exact selection method and schedule have not yet been disclosed, if High Gods are selected every two weeks like Server Gods, the very first High God will claim Diamonds accumulated over a relatively longer period. With world-scale battles taking place fiercely in the Tower of Gods and Sky Island, attention is focused on who will ascend as the first High God.
