Finally, a week before the update, a patch has been released to Tespia! However, if this is all for the ‘season 1 job balancing’, I’m really disappointed, haha. They also added some boss stuff, changed party quests, experience, and even gave us a new system for weapons!
Well it’s not really new, adapted from JMS’ Spirit Weapon system, but people are speculating a new ‘underworld’ area. The NPC above is in charge of it, and some of his dialogue has to do with Eregoth. What could it mean?
A new Easy Mode has been added for Van Leon. The boss will be easier to fight than in Normal Mode and you can only receive Normal Mode rewards at a low chance. Easy and Normal Modes will share the daily entry, so if you enter one, you cannot enter the other.
Hilla‘s HP, her damage, and her summoned monsters’ HP have been reduced, and her skill characteristics have been adjusted.
They finally added the quests that you must do in order to change the Cursed Kaiserium into the Liberated Kaiserium. This includes collecting 150 Cursed Horn’s Auras from either Normal or Hard Mode Magnus. Note: he only drops a maximum of 2…
The Cursed Kaiserium, as shown above, gives 50 to all stats and 250 attack with no slots, it is untradeable upon equipping. The Liberated Kaiserium gives 200 to all stats and 400 attack! It has 1 slot, so I assume it can have potential as well. However, it is completely untradeable.
Now, if the difference between party member levels is too large, the party will not gain experience. This only applies if the difference between the highest and lowest is 41 levels or more.
Monster Carnival has been reopened! Players level 110 to 130 can participate by accepting the Monster Carnival Invitation quest. This will sign you up to join a game as soon as 6 players join, while you can do other things.
You can trade in the Shiny Maple Coins you collect inside for “new” items. New because they’re just the old items with better stats, haha.
Spiegelmann’s Strong Cape: 3 to all stats (level 120, untradeable)
Spiegelmann’s Strong Bowtie: 10 to all stats, 1 attack and magic attack (level 120, untradeable)
Spiegelmann’s Strong Mustache: 2 to all stats, 2 attack and magic attack, (level 120, untradeable)
They have merged the entrance of all party quests into one. Some party quests’ recommended levels have been changed. Note, this does not mean you cannot do these party quests if you are too high, they will just not scale past their maximum level.

Weapons that can absorb monsters’ souls have been added, new Soul Weapons! Using a Soul Enchanter on a weapon will turn it into a Soul Weapon. Soul Enchanters can only be used on level 75 or higher weapons. You must then hunt 10 Soul Fragments from monsters to combine into a certain boss monster’s soul to use on your Soul Weapon.
Soul Weapons use a boss monster’s soul to give you potential stats as well as a special skill (depending on which boss you have). While hunting monsters, you have to collect enough Souls to activate this skill by press ↓↓↑↑ attack or by clicking the icon.
Note: there are different types of Souls for each boss. These types will each give different potential stats but they all give you access to the same skill for that boss. I’m not gonna list all the potential stats (there’s so many) so I’ll just point out which bosses have special types, remember though that a single Soul will only give ONE of the stats listed.
