Since 2018/11 there hasn't been any major balance patch for Musketeer. With that, we received a number of feedback on Musketeer and We decided to make changes to the Musketeer.
To start, we first increased the base performance of the Musketeer and changed the overall skill structure so that each concept of awakening could fit well. Also, the reload method and the additional movement skills will be changed or added to provide better convenience and in-game experience.
Here are the details on each awakening
[Rapid Desperado]: The concept of this awakening is stylish action combat. Changes are mainly focused on short, mid-range combat, and improving some of the long-skill animation frames.
[Absolute Heater]: The concept of this awakening mainly focused on using magic crystal explosion in mid-range. Most passive skills are also related to magic crystal explosion. Absolute Heater utilizes these magic crystals passive skills mainly in combat
[Ultimate Enforcer]: The concept of this awakening is to put a high amount of damage in a short time. The play style remains the same as before, but the changes are made to the reload method of previous magic ammo so that it can be utilized much easier way.
Based on feedback from our adventurers, the overall character balance evaluation is still ongoing and We will continue to review to make changes.
[Overall Character Balance Patch]
Not only the Musketeer, but we have also adjusted the number of characters that were behind in terms of performance, especially lacking convenience in hunting. Our primary goal of this balance patch is to provide a better environment for those characters for easier hunting.
Most of the adjustments focused on increasing the range of the skill, DPS of Each character’s main skills, and improving awakening the passive skill. We believe that these changes will lead to a base performance boost. Please take some time to enjoy the transition of these characters.
Here is the list of characters for this balance patch
1. Squire (Illusion Knight)
2. Warrior (Diabolic Sword fighter)
3. Princess (Queen of Disturbance)
4. Little Witch (Entertainer)
5. Maid (Majestic Stewardess)
2. New Mini pet (Mutant) and the Combination
As more and more content and new systems are applied to a game, The role of mini pets has gradually been reduced. Now, mini-pet is considered less important content compared to other content. To change the circumstances and to provide fresh air into the contents, a total of 8 new Mutant Mini pets and the combination and the new combination will be implemented.
Unlike the previous mini pets 'Yang' and 'Eun' which specialized in PvP content, the new mutant mini pet has great performance on PvE content. The attributes of new mutant mini pets are fire, ice, wind, earth, light, dark, and Hwan, and the skills are mostly linked to their attribute.
Ex) Attribute Damage Limit Increase, Physical Limit Damage increase
We are expecting the new mini-pet and the combination to allow adventurers to push beyond the current character limit.
3. New Enhancement System- Release Potential
To provide a better experience for collecting equipment and motives for hunting, we have prepared a new enhancement system that allows adventurers to gain/enhance a variety of potential (ex, similar to creature main/sub-passive skill option). This new system utilizes exclusive materials from disassembling unique equipment.
Our objective for this content is to provide another way to increase character specs which can also be helpful when playing sub-characters. The system will be applied on an account basis and will share all the stats once it's unlocked.
4 Design Book Improvement
As some adventurers are already aware, some design books are hard to activate. In addition, even engraving effects are less competitive compared to other widely used design books. To provide more options and better opportunities for character setup, we have improved the base performance of design books.
5. Weekly Boss Falcon
The difficulty level was set somewhat higher compared to the Astaroth, and we plan to provide adventurers with the fun of conquering it with Surag and Gerio titles
6. Other Update Contents
There will be an increase of some item stacks as well from 100 ~ 255 to 999 to improve convenience and inventory utilization. We hope this gives chance to secure more inventory spots that take up extra space due to the large quantity.
The Red Stone Team is diligently preparing major updates as fast as possible. Other than that, we are planning an event in August for adventurers to enjoy. The details of the updates will be announced later when we fix our schedule.
Again thank you so much for supporting the RED STONE Global Server. We will always try our best to provide better service.
