On the 22nd, 'Sol: enchant' underwent emergency maintenance to address identified bugs and tweak monster balancing in specific zones. To sweeten the deal, they’ve sent out compensation via mail, including 2 Growth Potions (20%) (Event), 10 Food Supply Boxes, 10 Acceleration Elixirs, and 6 each of the Defence, Weight, Accuracy, and Stat Increase scrolls.

The real highlight of this update is, quite obviously, the monster balance tweaks. First off, item drop rates in certain Kalteon zones are getting a buff. This covers everything from Kalteon [11. Revine Farmland] through [61. Sanctuary of Darkness], including the field dungeons located within those regions.

The reduction in monster damage is also causing a bit of a stir. Damage output for select monsters has been nerfed across Lindel Island from [3. Savage Forest] to [5. Lindel Island Dungeon], and in Kalteon from [2. Air Marsh] to [42. Artaron Temple]. Furthermore, for those struggling with the grind post-level 30, the aggressive 'first-strike' behaviour and 'kinship detection' of monsters in Kalteon [15. Medena Forest] through [27. Megalith Temple] have been adjusted. Expect a smoother hunting experience and, hopefully, a healthier haul of growth materials.

It isn't just about monster tweaks; the team is finally addressing some of the community's persistent bug reports. Notable fixes include a glitch where auto-use consumables were being drained upon death under specific conditions, and another where the 'Infinite Health Potion' would inexplicably revert to a standard 'Health Potion' during offline play.

Let's take a look at the reduced costs for death penalty recovery. The cost to recover lost XP has been slashed to 20% of the previous rate, while item recovery costs have been cut by half. This should take the sting out of a messy death. What’s more, the devs are retroactively applying these savings, with refunds for previous recovery costs being processed following the maintenance.

Beyond that, we have a laundry list of changes: reduced item loss probability upon death, shorter cooldowns for rejoining or creating guilds, and a fix ensuring that PvP against hostile guild members no longer drains your alignment points. They've also added new collection lists, expanded the Nine Shop’s 'Seal of Nine' box purchase limit from 10 to 30, removed gathering nodes across Lindel Island and Kalteon, added a PvP alert sound for the PC client, and improved the auto-scan persistence. You can find the full breakdown on the Sol: enchant official website.
