Today’s patch was supposed to be the Shining Star update, but they have postponed it to August 28, so this patch was just a ton of events (since it was really hard to get Summer Limited Coins before).

These Hot Hot Hot! events are actually… really really great, especially the Hot Time which I seriously am wondering is some sort of horrible error!

I’m actually not sure at all why this change was made but the level requirements for the different Star Force limits have been changed.

For example, before, level 95~109 equipment would have a limit of 8 stars (5 for Superior) but now these limits apply to level 95~107 equipment.

Some coin shops had their wares adjusted. The Monster Life Coin Shop has removed Eyes of Fire but added Scroll Traces. The Cross Hunter Shop has removed all Cross Hunter equipment scrolls and replaced them with Scroll Traces.

Some bosses have been adjusted. They wanted to remove the requirement for users to have to remember when they cleared a boss so they would know when they could do it again, and also changed some limits based on challenge levels.

• Easy Magnus‘ limit has been changed from twice per week to once per day
• Normal Magnus’ limit now resets at midnight instead of 24 hours after you kill him
• Hard Magnus’ limit now resets on Thursday instead of 7 days after you kill him
• Pink Bean’s limit has been changed from twice per day to once per day, the quest to receive the Chaos Marble has been changed to reset at midnight instead of 24 hours after you receive it
• Horntail and Chaos Horntail’s seduce duration has been decreased
• You can now change channels in Zakum’s Altar without being teleported back a few maps

Kritias has received some changes. If you didn’t already know, Kritias has two sets of maps, one before you complete the quests (all level 180~190) and one after (level 180~210).

Now, monsters in the quest set have had their experience lowered and Elite Monsters and Bosses will no longer spawn in these maps, but the quest experience has been raised.

There were some slight changes in skills’ prerequisites.

Angelic Burster

•  Soul Seeker Expert: required skill has been decreased from level 20 Soul Seeker to level 10

Aran

•  Combo Fenrir: required skill has been decreased from level 10 Combo Smash to level 1

•  Pinpoint Rocket 1st Enhancement: required skill has been decreased from level 4 Pinpoint Rocket to level 1
•  Pinpoint Rocket 2nd Enhancement: required skill has been decreased from level 4 Pinpoint Rocket 1st Enhancement to level 1

Let’s start with events! The first is the Hot Day event which lasts until August 27. This event is actually takes place on a bunch of different days.

Each weekend (Saturday and Sunday), there will be 2x experience from 1pm-2pm, 3pm-4pm, and 5pm-6pm. There will also be a Fever Time from 1pm-7pm. Each Monday, Wednesday and Friday, there will be 2x experience from 4pm-5pm, 6pm-7pm, and 8pm-9pm as wel as Fever Time from 4pm-10pm.
