ATARAXIA’S ARRIVAL (UPDATE 01): ADVENTURING IMPROVEMENTS

1708408553918.png

RF Online’s biggest update yet is hurtling towards our Novus, fast! In the coming days, we’ll be giving all citizens a sneak peek into what’s changing. There will be three distinct categories of updates, and today, we begin with everything under the sun: Quality of Life changes to improve every able-bodied man, woman, and machine’s adventuring capability.

I. NEUTRAL MAP CHANNELS ADDED​

We had wanted to increase the number of leveling spots for players, without re-arranging the current level layouts familiar to most soldiers – now you can switch between 3 channels in the same map, allowing 3 different players access to the same area at the same time!

  • Each map will be divided into 3 channels.
  • All Pit bosses, Herodian Machine Equipment & Illusion Pyramid will be summoned only in Channel 1.
  • Characters will automatically go to Channel 1 whenever a character uses scrolls and Cartella Ship.
  • Characters moving through a portal within the same map would still stay on the same channel. (Elite Training School & Caravan’s Time and Space)

NOTE: You won’t be able to move to another channel if you’re on Battle Status.

II. INCREASED MAXIMUM NUMBER OF PARTY MEMBERS​

Get ready to roll out with 4 more of your friends and guildmates (or the occasional Samaritan stranger). 12 members in a party can mean a whole new dynamic while loosening options for group slots on dedicated hunting teams

  • The maximum number of party members was increased from 8 to 12.
  • Bonus EXP of 12 members will be the same with 8 members (450%).

  • Party UI can also be adjusted to fit the resolution being used by the player

III. TIMER FUNCTION UPDATE​

Never be late for a CW (or its rewards) ever again.

  • Added timer function from preparation time up to the mining time.
  • Event Timer button can be found on the radar.

IV. RECOVERED HP VALUE DISPLAY​

Healers have had some of the most difficult roles in teams or groups – here’s an added layer of convenience with which to gauge or ration your dole-outs of that sweet and juicy life-force.

  • HP Recovered from Healing Skills are now displayed.
  • Be reminded that the Heal Amount would depend on the target’s Max HP.

  • Prices of existing map scrolls have been reduced
Kartella Transport Ticket: 200,000 => 30,000
Beast Mountain Scroll: 800,000 => 200,000
Outcasts Land Scroll: 1,300,000 => 300,000

NOTE: Prices would still depend on the race’s tax value.

VI. TREASURE MONSTERS​

These ethereal loot piñatas will now regularly spawn nearly everywhere under the dying Novus sun – we seek to encourage citizens to relieve them of their contents whenever they show up.

  • Illusion Pyramids have been added to selected maps to promote hunting activities.
  • Illusion Pyramids don’t attack players.

IX. GRADE B (INTENSE) COMBINATION RECIPE​

More stuff, more successes!
N-grade rates are decreased as a result


  • Combination Recipe for Grade B (Intense) Weapons and Armors have been added to HERO NPC.
  • Weapons & Armors are NOT REQUIRED to have 7 slots before combining. However, it is advised to combine the same type of weapon or armor.
  • COMBINATION SUCCESS RATE IS 100%!

How’s that for a list of updates? We ain’t done yet – far from it actually. Still to come over the next few days are the new changes coming to skill & item statistical and functional rebalancing, plus a look into the always-rumored but now soon-to-be-fully accessible Hidden Elven Land map.

Ataraxia arrives soon to a Novus near you – hope to see you there when history is written anew.
