The Enlightenment

“	The Enlightenment update, what? Is this Buddhism or something??	„
—Infodude

^^^ That and is it possible that's it's the beginning of the druid update...or something else?

Yes Info, I was thinking the exact same thing when I saw that.

It sounds weird for druid...

If we go by the expected patches, it's the druid update. Wouldn't be the first time localisation has differed, won't be the last

Mabination people are throwing out its only the stat renewal update and possibly bug fixes.

Ugh, guess we'll find out tomorrow.

I don't know man, for 5 hours to "unleash" bug fixes and an update, I'm expecting it to be much longer...say 6~8 hours.

...why did they use the word "unleash" puzzles me...It's strange, even on a professional level but I'm not nexon so meh.

“	Enlightenment is an update that other servers got as well. It has to do with Magic and Alchemy. We will have a more detailed post once maintenance has finished.	„

Balance update and bug fixes.

How is this "enlightening" when its more of a nerf than anything?

Anyhoo, looks like Part 1 of Dream is included as well according to their announcement.

From what we know for sure so far:

• It will include a magic and alchemy update.
  • It did not mention music, so it's most likely referring to alchemy in the sense of the new alchemy formula which was released before the vate skills in other servers, not the entire update as a whole.
  • Sabina generalizes it to "Magic", doesn't guarantee we'll see Druid skills too, but every server so far but KR Test has gotten Zero and Druid in one update. We can only guess.
• Beginner revamp added, this is most like KR's beginner revamp that was recently added (after Zero, may I add) which entails things like, free daily rebirth under 1k, free skill reset at duncan if under 1k, etc. It's the same thing as right now but 1k instead of 100.
  • Sometime inebtween now and then, they raised the cap to 300 before they raised it to 1000. We might be getting the 300 version.
  • The 1000 update also came with new journal entries that you get for having certain talents high ranked. You get awarded AP for that as well, and you get more AP if you achieve these journal entries before total 1k.
• Expanding and improving dunbarton. This was added in the Dream Initial Update, not during Zero, in KR. However, JP and CH just got it with the Druid update.
• Implementing Daily Saga Bonus, no idea what this could be. NA is the only server with daily saga, other servers use a different system, so unsure.
• Updating maps, during the initial dream update, KR added new moon gates everywhere and updated the maps for most areas that got new moon gates and mana tunnels. During this time, dunbarton was remodeled but it didn't get an updated map until the treasure hunter update.

How was Enlightenment applied to other servers, if they got it?

No patch in other servers was titled "Enlightenment", which is the part that's confusing most of us. It's probably just a mixture of JP's version of Zero/Druid plus my previously mentioned updates from Dream. Though, they may do something completely different too. We'll see.

Think about it.

• Balance Patch - Druid
• Beginner Revamp - Post Zero
• Dunbarton Change - Dream

Now, tell me, how was it applied to other servers?

I don't know, because other servers may have gotten it differently.

You're asking Pyrus, who plays NA and KR. Who here even plays the other foreign servers?

Mikaya plays (or played?) JP, I believe.

Iirc, she was pb'd for no reason.

I was banned for supposedly using outside tools to gain advantage or some stupid thing like that. I was one of those people that is like "Oh...it's that person again" and what not. I dunno people hate me because I had a capped machete ego and pretty much has hard as a 13K total level with a total of a 4th of that. I appealed for it but no reply, as this was not the first time that it has happened. So not surprised if I was permabanned :s.

Also I am not bothering returning unless I either:

• Get unbanned (very unlikely)
• Get a hold of an friend's/old account (somewhat unlikely)

Since I don't really pay attention to JP updates since said ban, I'm not sure what I can say about the patch process for those :x

/patpat. I know how you feel. :( [although I did cheat. 8D]

I'll live. At least I'll always have a place to come back to...even if it is a shadow of its former self...also why is it hard to access this page. It takes 10~15 seconds before it fully loads.

Because of this...

...course.

Doesn't JP Wiki have Patches page or?

They do actually. It's written in plain English (sorta...). It's the link titled "【update情報】"

let me see...since I'm sure people are dying to know (forgive my ignorance of fail translation. I skimmed it.):

• a lot of bugs occurred...
• Druid Update (labeled Merlin)
• 2x Training for Magic Tab
• Hot time for Shyllien Magic Knuckles for all...
• 5x Combat EXP?
• Town Renewal notes regarding Filia/Physis/Dunbarton
• Merlin cards on sale
• Stat rebalance notes.

Ehh doesn't look like I can find the old patches. the link is for current patches/ recent/ongoing events. JP is a bit more unorganized...as I had to search it for older patch notes. It uses the date of the patch (year/month/day) and compiles the notes like that. A bit strange, not to mention it's hard to skim it all :x

Plain Engl-- /shoots

Can't she like, easily make a new account though? Assuming she has a proxy, there's no limitations on making japanese nexon accounts, to my understanding.

It's a lot less fun having to start from scratch.

^^^ this this this and this.

Anyways to answer your questions:

Balance Patch - Druid

• Patched all together on 9/12/2013

Beginner Revamp - Post Zero

• I'm not sure if it's the right one but it lists that the beginner benefits was raised from 100 to 300 back in 7/11/2013.

Dunbarton Change - Dream

• Patched all together with Filia/Vales remodeling on 9/12/2013

Judging from the patch notes by nexon, I think it's all under the "Enlightenment."
