Nexon general director Park Jong-min of Dungeon & Fighter detailed updates regarding the Michaela raid rewards and character performance adjustments through an online broadcast on the 27th.

Director Park Jong-min of Dungeon & Fighter laid out the direction for future patches and updates during the D-Note online broadcast on the 27th. Information was shared regarding character revamp plans, the new challenge-type content Imprinted Nightmare, control system improvements, adjustments to top-tier content progression rewards, equipment acquisition trends, and a large-scale offline festival scheduled for the upcoming December.

First up, performance adjustments for roughly 60 characters were introduced. This revamp aims to enhance skill cast structures and handling feel rather than just boosting sheer combat power. Furthermore, the SP cost requirement for the common skill Back Step Reinforcement has been removed, and the first- and true-awakening buffs used by buffer job classes now trigger simultaneously with casting. These operational changes to skills will likely shift the damage cycle that players feel in action. Additionally, equipment durability will no longer decrease in areas devoid of monsters, while in-game chat emojis, loading improvements, and a feature to integrate Dungeon & Fighter with Nexon account IDs are slated for future implementation.

The newly added Imprinted Nightmare is a single-player challenge content targeted at players with the highest equipment scores. Based on the first server, only personnel who have achieved level 115 and an honor level of 119,414 or higher can enter. A 10-minute time limit is given per phase, and while points are gained by dealing damage to monsters during combat, points decrease as time passes, when taking hits, or when using consumable items. Composed of 3 phases, the difficulty increases and acquired points rise with each phase. The monsters slated to appear in 4-week rotations are Yulijie, a fusion of Diregie and Yulis, and Astaros, the Knight of Fear.

The reward system is structured differently for each phase. The first week of introduction serves as a practice period, with ranking rewards unlocking from the second week. In Phase 1, players can secure up to 100 non-tradable Nightmare Shards per character weekly, depending on the monster health reduction completion rate. These acquired shards can be used to exchange for items such as 400 Necklace and Bracelet Bead Selection Boxes and 150 Primordial Black Fang Accessory Selection Boxes. An Epic Soul x10 box can also be purchased once a week for 100 shards. Detailed ranking system information will be provided on November 5.

Adjustments regarding the Michaela raid rewards were also announced. Director Park Jong-min remarked, "The hard difficulty of the Michaela raid was pointed out as having lost its motivation to play despite holding the highest status," and added, "Acknowledging this, we will take temporary measures to supplement it through a hard special auction event."

Alongside this, the direction for farming and equipment updates was introduced. Farming is designed to increase the proportion of tradeable equipment and items, ensuring that the thrill of scoring loot continues even after reaching the endgame. Existing Pilgrim's Seals and Tokens will have their usage and acquisition amounts expanded to preserve their value, and Unique equipment boasting 100% precision will maintain its top-tier status in the next season as well.

Information regarding various offline and online events was also revealed. Kicking off with the revelation of the war clouds looming over Arad on October 29 for the year-end, webtoons and cinematic videos featuring authors such as Leva are in preparation. In November and December, Eliv's Winter Prep, a winter festival, and a boost-up event for new and returning players are planned to roll out.

The offline festival, the Dungeon & Fighter Festival, will be held in the third week of December, introducing equipment score restriction requirements to ensure fair participation. Meanwhile, Seria's Special Shop, which includes items such as an Abyss Revelation x3,500 box and a 156 Fatigue Recovery Elixir, will remain open until the maintenance on December 3.
