Patch Notes 2026-09-12

• Battleground Rewards are doubled for the first two weeks after this update!
• 3 new Costume Boxes are now in rotation!
• New Halloween 2026 Box (the Halloween box will not be removed in the next rotation but will remain available leading up to Halloween).
• The following modes are now available for rotation: Death Match, Stone Control, Conquest, Krieger Von Midgard, Double Inferno, Rush, Slay the King, Tierra Gorge, and Eye of Storm.
• New mode: Slay the King!
  • This mode operates like Death Match except a player on each team is randomly chosen as the King and is given substantial buffs. Kill the opposing team's King to score a point! First to 3 points wins.
  • The buffs the King receives are: 10x HP, +50 all stats, -50% VCT, -30% ACD.
  • Whoever kills the King gets an additional 1 Bravery Coin.
• Added support for our custom castle Sotanaht in Conquest!
• Party Queue re-enabled with additional changes:
  • Parties must now join in pairs - a party can only join if another party is available to be placed on the other team.
  • If the round is about to start and you're still waiting for another party to join, you will be automatically queued solo to avoid late penalties.
• Refreshed rewards - added new gears (Assaulter Plate, Assassin Robe, Medic's Robe, Elite Shooter Suit), Blacksmith Blessing, and costumes!

• Damaging barricades in Conquest should no longer be possible as long as a previous objective still exists.
• Pre-Trans WoE Strip changes (duration reduced to 20 seconds) now apply in Battlegrounds.
• Stone Control catch-up speed: carrier speed value drops 10 per 5 points behind, floor 100 (150 is unbuffed walking, ~110 is Agi Up).
• Rewrote @bginfo to be more useful to our implementation.
• Auto-rejoin: @bgauto toggles a per-character flag that automatically rejoins the next round of BG with the same eligibility checks as @joinbg.
• Added fixpos to PR_GLORIA.
• Icicle Spear description corrected to Lord Knight.

Pre-Trans WoE

• Fixed being able to snap between traps in pre-trans WoE.
• Chemical Protection status' from a Creator's FCP skill are stripped upon entering a pre-trans castle. CP status' from an Alchemist are not stripped upon entering a pre-trans castle.
• Removed Chemical Protection's effect on the success rate of Rogue Strip in pre-trans WoE.
• In Pre-Trans WoE/trap limit maps: Your oldest trap is now removed so a new one can be placed when your limit is reached (instead of not allowing you to place a new trap).
• Butterfly Wing should now be again tracking properly in WoE stats.

Alchemist

• NEW SKILL - Remote Detonator: Use the skill to detonate all marine spheres at once.
• NEW SKILL - Herbicide: Use the skill to remove a marine sphere without exploding it.
• BUFFED - Summon Marine Sphere: No longer uses plant bottle. Each VIT of the alchemist increases sphere HP by 5.
• MODIFIED - Summon Flora: No longer uses plant bottle. If a plant bottle is carried, it is consumed to summon a 2nd plant of the same type when using the skill. Plant stats now scale with alchemist stats. Summoned plants get STR×2 ATK, AGI-based ASPD, +10 HP and DEF/10 per VIT, MDEF/10 and +INT per INT at summon time.
• Plant Bottle: Now an Alchemist-only usable item that can be used to summon one extra Geographer (60s cooldown).
• Auto attacks from the master Alchemist no longer "arm" Marine Spheres - they only move the sphere.
• Both new skills are quest skills learned from Field Botanist Ilse in the Al De Baran Alchemist Guild.
