Spring is approaching quickly and we have definitely had enough of the cold weather outside! But hey, the cold weather is a great excuse to stay inside and play some Talon Tales! We’re kicking off this month with some redesigns of the Old Glast Heim instances which should seriously improve the QoL of these places. Furthermore, hell has frozen over and enchanted items can now be unslotted at the Reward Guru! Please read on for more details~

General Updates

• Unslotting Service Updates
  • All Enchanted Items can now be unslotted.
  • There is now a Premium Talon Cash modifier when unslotting Enchanted Items according to their type. If an Enchanted Item isn’t one of these 3 categories, there is no extra cost and is treated like a normal unslot. These categories are as follows:
    • Malangdo Enchanted Items: +100 Talon Cash Cost.
    • Enchanted Armors (through Apprentice Craftsman): +200 Talon Cash Cost.
    • Enchanted Sleipnir/Eversong (through OGH): +300 Talon Cast Cost.
    • None of the Above: No Extra Cost.
  • The Base Price of each unslotted Card now scales according to its Talon Shop Price, if applicable. These rates are as follows:
    • Talon Shop Price <= 400: 250 Talon Cash Cost.
    • Talon Shop Price < 1,000: 400 Talon Cash Cost.
    • None of the Above: 500 Talon Cash Cost (like before).
  • The discount for uncarding multiple cards at a time has been adjusted with the above changes in mind. The rate is now a Talon Cash reduction of 20% of the card’s value as opposed to just a flat 100 Talon Cash per card.
• New Costume Swap Fairy costumes:
  • Mic Stand
  • Lunatic Party
  • Cinnamoroll
  • [Visual] Cinnamoroll
  • All Spirit Auras
• When re-entering Sara’s Memories instance, an additional run is no longer consumed.

• Increased droprate of Irene High Elder Card from 0.2% to 0.6%.
• Changed Byalan Island warper and kafra NPC location and savepoint to be closer to the dungeon entrance.
• Fixed Heavy Sword description not mentioning ASPD% bonus.

Old Glast Heim Updates

• Fixed Main Menu being wrong for Old Glast Heim Hard when instance access is closed.
• Temporal STR Boots (and its associated 3rd enchantment) Short Range ATK% now becomes Total ATK% (from STR, +ATK, Buffs, and Weapon ATK) when a Whitesmith equips it.
• Doing a full reset on Enchanted Sleipnir/Eversong now refunds you 75% of the Coagulated Spells, Contaminated Magics, and Temporal Crystals used to create the boots, all enchantments, as well as upgrade into Sleipnir/Eversong. Keep in mind that you will still NOT get the Temporal Boots back, as mentioned when you first enchant the Sleipnir/Eversong.
• Increased Returns for both OGH Normal and Hard from 3 to 5.
• Implemented Skill Names being displayed above mobs heads before they are casted (borrowed from the new Instance Ruleset).
• All MvP MaxHP is Normal mode has been reduced by 40%. MvP MaxHP now increases by +10% for each Party Member after 2. New Base MaxHP Rates before the 10% party multiplier are as follows:
  • Corrupted Soul: 1,320,000 -> 792,000
  • Amdarais: 4,200,000 -> 2,520,000

• Moved Himmelmez’s Royal Syringe [3], Guardian Knight Battle Axe [2], Royal Magician Wand [2], and Guardian Knight Spear [3] drops from her drop pool to the Treasure Chest reward. This way, each party member has a unique chance to obtain any of these items. The rate at which these items drop also depends on party size using the following formula, where smaller parties get higher rates, and bigger parties get smaller rates: (100 + (2000 / Party Size) / 100.
• Treasure Chest Coagulated Spell, Contaminated Magic, Temporal Crystal Reward mechanic updated. You will now obtain the maximum amount regardless of party size unless there are dead players upon the final boss’s defeat.
