'Arthdal Chronicles: Three Factions' (hereinafter Arthdal Chronicles) has rolled out a massive October update. From the snowy expanse of the new 'Fox Flower Snowfield' region to a 'resurrection system' designed to inject some much-needed adrenaline into field boss encounters, the changes are substantial. Perhaps most notably, the game has introduced its first-ever legendary gear, the 'Justice' armor set. So, what’s been brewing in the official community this past week? Let’s dive into the Weekly Forum Highlight.

October Major Update: 'Fox Flower Snowfield' Arrives

A new region, the 'Fox Flower Snowfield,' has emerged behind the massive ice walls north of the Lawless Village. Players can now uncover a fresh narrative arc focused on rescuing the kidnapped Zaha. The update is packed with new main quests, faction missions, alliance missions, adventure journals, gear, fish, loot, and codex entries. It’s time to explore the frozen frontier and enjoy the growth.

Field Boss Resurrection System Added

Field bosses are tiered to match player progression, but we’ve seen a recurring issue where lower-level bosses are being shredded so quickly that many players miss out on rewards, dampening the mood for participation. To fix this, the October update introduces a 'resurrection system' for field bosses.

The system kicks in if a boss's HP drops below 10% within a set time limit. Upon triggering, the boss recovers health, gains a 'resurrection buff,' and emerges even more formidable than before. Once you manage to put this powered-up boss down, everyone who participated earns a special participation reward. It’s a clever tweak that, by all accounts, has turned routine farming into something far more tense and engaging.

Scary Stories from Nunbyeol!

It seems CM Nunbyeol took a wrong turn, found herself in a dark alley, and got cornered by Bari. Bari, in a rather whimsical turn of events, demands a scary story before letting her pass. Nunbyeol has brainstormed four chilling tales, but she’s struggling to pick the best one for Bari. Which of her four stories would you suggest she tells?

You Asked, We Answered: Hot Topics

Q. Are the monsters feeling a bit weaker lately?
A. Yes, we’ve adjusted the balance for monsters level 108 and above.

Many players have noticed that monster hunting feels significantly easier since the October update. If you’re wondering why your combat power feels the same but the mobs are falling faster, the answer is simple: the attack and defense stats for monsters level 108 and above were reduced. You might even find yourself grinding in higher-level areas than before. Just remember, the accuracy requirements haven't changed—if you’re seeing 'misses,' it’s time to bump up your accuracy stat.

Q. What does the pink damage number mean?
A. That’s damage triggered by the Ancient Accessory set effect.

If you’ve seen damage numbers in a shade of pink you don't recognize, don't panic. This occurs when you have a full set of Ancient Accessories upgraded to +8 or higher, which grants a chance to deal additional damage upon a successful hit. It’s just the game’s way of showing off your gear’s power.

Arthdal One-Shot Issue

The First Legendary Gear: 'Justice' Arrives

The first legendary gear, the 'Justice' armor set, has officially dropped. This set includes Cloth, Light, and Heavy chest and shoulder pieces, each boasting five sub-stats and four refinement slots. You’ll need to hunt the field boss 'Sob Sharuka' in the Fox Flower Snowfield for the chest piece, and 'Shubek' in the Black Night Four Islands for the shoulders. With performance stats like these, the top-tier players are already scrambling. The question is, who will be the first to claim this legendary set? The community is watching closely.
