The dev team behind 'Mongil: Star Dive' has announced plans to reduce farming fatigue. They are focusing on improvements for Monster Rings, gear, and premium Salmon Puree to ease the grind.

Since its launch on the 15th, Mongil: Star Dive has been marketed as a light, accessible experience. However, players have pointed out that fatigue increases significantly once they finish the main episode and dive into endgame farming. Issues raised include the difficulty in obtaining the necessary quantity of Monster Rings to match grades and options, as well as a clunky synthesis process. Furthermore, rifts were criticized for requiring excessive repetitive play, and gear acquisition was noted for its high difficulty due to random options.

Lee Dong-jo, the PD of Mongil: Star Dive, addressed these concerns in a developer note published on the 22nd. He promised improvements: capture rates in Dimensional Rifts will be increased, and new field-farming mechanics for Monster Rings are in the works. Additionally, the drop rate for the 'Guardian of El Dorado' event will be bumped to a guaranteed 100%, with base grades being rebalanced.

The team is also adding a stat grade filter and streamlining synthesis. To prevent accidental synthesis, high-grade or mutant items will now be automatically locked. They are also unifying Monster Ring stats to focus on the highly preferred Attack-type.

They also acknowledged issues where hitting the Monster Ring cap prevents dungeon entry, and a lack of gold makes synthesis impossible. To address this, they are gifting 1 million gold to all players and rolling out a fix on April 23.

Gear farming via subjugation is also being improved with increased drop rates for materials and gear. Furthermore, players will now receive a guaranteed 6 units of Puree—used to lock specific Monster Ring options—per rift run. They are also reviewing ways to prevent the unnecessary consumption of keys and tickets.

Other quality-of-life improvements were also announced. PC players will now have access to the auto-move feature seen on mobile, and basic attacks will trigger a continuous strike if the button is held down. Additionally, event story skipping is being prepared for both PC and mobile platforms.

The April 23 patch will implement: unified Attack-type stats for rings, a 100% drop rate for event rings, guaranteed Puree drops and boosted Monster Ring drop rates in rifts, increased drop rates for subjugation materials and gear, and the addition of the PC auto-move feature. Future updates will introduce stat grade filters, event story skipping, auto-locking for rare rings, and rapid-fire support for the PC version.

Finally, an online broadcast will be held on the 24th at 7 PM, featuring PD Lee Dong-jo and Netmarble Business Division Head Kang Dong-ki.
