Act7.2 is now live on Olympus! The Celestial Tower offers a brand new game activity. To explore the tower for yourself, start the questline by taking the quest The Convention from Litatiz.

What is The Celestial Tower?​

The Celestial Tower is a game mode where you're supposed to protect the pillars from hordes of monsters, sort of like tower defense. The enemy will get progressively stronger with each floor, so don't be surprised if you feel like you need help. The tower gives you opportunity to form 5 squads of 5 mates each, to come to your aid to protect the pillars. Certain combinations of mates give unique buffs that will greatly enhance your odds of clearing the floor. You can find the team combinations in-game by pressing P, heading to the Celestial Spire tab, and clicking on the question mark on top right of the window.

Why the Celestial Tower?​

As you clear the floors, you will be rewarded with Corrupted Fragments, Reset Tickets, Random Boxes, and most importantly, Infinity Coins. Corrupted Fragments can be sold or used as material for higher rune upgrades. Reset Ticket can be used to reset your tower progress back to Floor 1, for when you're not strong enough to progress further or when you clear the last floor. Infinity Coins can be used to trades all kinds of new prizes, such as two brand new sets of resistances, #'s Costume Wings, and a box containing one of the six new Celestial Spire pets. These pets give strong buffs when they're summoned to Celestial Tower as a squad member and are required for many team combinations.

Hero of the Celestial Tower​

Each month, the best 30 players of each class will be rewarded with bonus rewards. The very best of each class will get "Hero of the Celestial Tower" title, but all top 30 will get a special Spire Chest and some random boxes too. Spire Chests contain different amounts of Corrupted Fragments, Legendary Medal of Honour, and Infinity Coins.

Perfect Partners​

Another possible loot from the Celestial Tower is the Emerald of Completion inside the Celestial Spire Random Box. These are used to perfect any PSP and make them more helpful companions in your adventures, especially in the Celestial Tower where you need your mates the most. More information can be found on: PSP Perfection

Evil Overlord Paimon​

The dark overlord of Hellord is threatening Moritius with his corrupt intents. You need to defeat him at the top of the Celestial Spire to protect the realm. You can find Paimon's Raid Seal in Celestial Spire drops or craft it using an Infinity Coin. The raidbox of Paimon mainly contains materials for higher runes and for brand new specialists. It also has all the rare loots from all three Act7 raids, but with lower chances. For more information about the Paimon Raid: Evil Overlord Paimon

SP9 - Orc Heroes​

New specialists can be crafted by Logotor using the materials found in Paimon raidbox, which are also required for upgrading them. These specialists are the Waterfall Berserker, a warrior of the water element who wields a terrifying axe; Sunchaser, a hunter of the light element who is always accompanied by a wolf; and Voodoo Priest, a priest of shadow element who spears pain and terror with his curses. Reminder that while we wanted to keep the changes to the new specialists minimum, we will be investigating them closely for any kind of buffs and nerfs needed to make them good fits to the game.

SP9 Changelog​

• Sunchaser:
  • Sun Wolf:
    • Resistances: 50/60/70/60 -> 90/90/90/90
    • In PvP all elemental resistances are increased by 40 -> 60.

There are also a few things that had to get patched for a better compatibility with Act7. This includes nerfing the res reduction of Pix to balance res drain builds, and doubling Caligor durability so that more people can gather enough participation points. Also, we wanted to make Jennifer hat be equal to our latest Ceremonial Hat from Act7, and be obtainable from Rainbow Random Boxes to make RBB a bit more rewarding.

Act7.1​

The Act7.1 is finally here with 17 new maps, 3 new raids, 3 new trophies, tattoos, runes, and much more! Maximum champion level has been increased from 50 to 60. Moritius (Act7) can be accessed by starting the questline from Merchant Ben in Alveus Port, if you're already CLv.30+. Following the questline will unlock you access to Celestial Spire, Act7 raids, three side quests, and seven daily quests. Since the questline is essential to the Act, we have tried to do some improvements on the it to make it more enjoyable and rewarding. Additionally, useless side/daily quests of Act7 are removed so you won't have a clutter of trash quests stuck with your character. Three of the remaining seven dailies are unlocked as you finish the raid quests in the main questline, and the quests are just killing mobs to get raid seals. Other four dailies are gated behind side quests, which all get unlocked upon completing the Act7.1 questline. Finishing those side quests will unlock you the four dailies that you can do to get materials and even CExp.

Farming​

Mob placements and mob counts in almost all maps have been reworked. Some changes were design-related mob type replacements and removals, and some were for making certain maps feel a bit more rewarding to farm. Mobs in each map now have a specific drop used in equipment crafts but they drop quite often so you won't feel forced to farm in non-preferred maps for long. You can use our newest feature to check the mob and map drops in Act7 yourself.

Four rifts have been placed in Act7: Spirit Forest, Beast Lair, Polluted Forest, and Celestial Spire V. The rifts at Celestial Spire V is special cause once you get in, you can teleport/warp freely to all 5 floors of the Spire within the rift.

Raids​

Though we haven't touched the mechanics of our new three raids, they have been repurposed in some way, considering their default situation. In a nutshell: Spirit King Kirollas for tattoos, Beast King Carno for runes, Demon God Belial for equipment. Of course, they're all meant to be "worth", as long as you have use for the materials that they give, and they can still be subject to rate changes after we gather enough data and feedback. We know that once people are done with their main grind, focus of the community may shift to the most profitable raid. But this is simply a way to give them a specific purpose and also to make higher rune and tattoo upgrades possible and relevant.

Runes and Tattooes​

You can access the tattoo guide here: Click

The protection scrolls and removal items can be found in Logotor's Equipment Shop. Logotor also sells two brand new items: Tattoo Switch Scroll and Loa Switch Crystal. These can be used to switch your tattoo and/or your loa, without losing your upgrade level. We wanted to encourage our players trying new builds through different tattooes so that tattooes won't feel too repetitive or bland.

Equipment & Trophies​

You can access the equipment guide here: Click

Three new trophies are added to Mysterious Monk. These trophies are meant to be PvP-oriented, even though our previous ones had functions in PvP too, we wanted a specialized generation of PvP trophies. They can basically be classified as: offense for Vengeful Tombstone, defense for Athena's Aegis, mixed for Helm of Darkness. We will be looking forward to see their place in the game and rebalance them if needed.

Valhalla​

Valhalla Part1 & Part2 has been implemented. These quests are mainly an alternative for solo levelling without having to farm in Act5.2 or LoD. Part1 questline can be started by Barni's Soul in NosVille near God's Altar at 85Lv. It'll bring you to Lv.90 by its end. After completing Part1, Part2 quests can be obtained from Ragnar at the entrance of Rock Cliff. Finishing Valhalla Part2 and Act5.2 questlines will bring you near 99Lv. These quests are mainly an alternative for new players to level up solo without having to farm in Act5.2 or LoD. You'll still need to farm though, to get enough resources to build a character.

Fafnir Raid & achievements have been implemented. Key to Fafnir's Castle can be bought from the Mysterious Monk in NosVille or can be dropped by the monsters in Midgard just north of Maple Woods. Raid entrance is on the Castle Aria Int. map, near Midgard. In the raidbox, you can find divine fairies, fairy essences, Viking costumes, and even an Unidentified Egg that randomly turns into Zenas or Erenia's Egg. As a percentage raid, the raid is made fast and easy. Consequently, the chance for rare loots mentioned above had to be kept low. It also contains Fafnir's Fried Dinner which can be used to cleanse Lv.3 and lower debuffs in all sorts of situations. All things considered, we think it's worthy to do some Fafnir maras for an easy flow of direct gold if not for all the rare loot.
