Heroes of Arkesia,
Following the recent Korean Live Stream, we know many of you have questions about how these announcements will impact the Western version of the game. To ensure transparency and avoid speculation, we want to clarify what you can expect based on our internal discussions.Nerfs and Endgame Balance
While Smilegate RPG has announced gold adjustments to various raid levels in the Korean version, our region's economy and gold income are not 1:1. We understand concerns about implementing certain nerfs at this stage. Doing so now could negatively impact the experience for both new and returning players, as well as endgame players who are still progressing. Since we are behind the Korean version in terms of how long these raids have been available, we want to carefully consider any gold balance changes to ensure they don’t disrupt progression or overall gameplay experience. We will continue to monitor this closely and provide updates as needed. However, to ease progression costs for new and returning players, we will be implementing the Transcendence and Advanced Honing nerfs. These changes will help make progression more accessible without the negative impact that gold nerfs might have caused. These will be reflected in the April update and are as follows: Advanced Honing- Required shards and silver -20% for Tempering stage 1 and 2
- Required honing materials -50% to progress Advanced honing level 1 - 20
- Required Shards, Silver and Gold -20% for Advanced honing level 1 - 20
- Restoration 740 Gold > 510 Gold
- Purification 110 Gold > 75 Gold
- Restoration 2,200 Gold > 1,460 Gold
- Purification 190 Gold > 125 Gold
