Greetings, KookminTree here. It has already been a week since the official launch of Sol: Enchant. Netmarble welcomed players with a flurry of events, drawing such a massive crowd that queues became the norm. Furthermore, they’ve shown a swift hand in addressing player feedback, polishing hunting ground efficiency on the 22nd and rolling out updates on the 24th. The recent developer notes, outlining the game's future direction, have also sparked quite a conversation.

In response, KookminTree has prepared the Weekly Forum Highlight. It’s our recurring segment where we sift through the noise of the official Sol: Enchant community to bring you the stories that matter. So, what’s been brewing in the community this week? Let’s dive into the details.

New tidings for you (God)

Developer Notes: Stability of item value is the top priority

The first headline is the commitment to currency stability revealed in the latest developer notes. The team pledges that future updates will prioritise the preservation of the value of Diamonds and items. They claim they will avoid short-sighted decisions that break player trust and handle the economy with more caution than any other game to ensure that the circulating supply of Diamonds doesn't fracture the market. To preserve currency value across each server through economic expansion, they are sticking to the plan to add the World Exchange this July.

Additionally, starting in early July with new skill additions and improvements to the Knight class, they will be rolling out class balance adjustments in phases. These will be continuously refined based on data, and other classes will be inspected in due course. Beyond this, 'Tower of God' is scheduled for late June as a new growth milestone, with a new 'Healer' class coming in late July. They’ve promised to keep the game worth waiting for with consistent content updates.

First players to hit level 50 across servers

Just four days after the official launch, the first players to reach level 50 have emerged. The champion is 'Same' from the Lindel 1 server, who hit the milestone at 6:43 AM on the 22nd. Following this, 'Rangsun' from Caltheon 3 (23rd, 6:07 AM), 'Comp' from Caltheon 1 (23rd, 9:20 AM), and 'Kasense' from Lindel 4 (23rd, 8:47 PM) have all secured their spots as server-firsts.

To honour these glorious achievers, Netmarble has prepared a special reward. It’s the Hero-grade Valtaros Ring (Imprint), a beast of an accessory providing +5 Physical Defense, +5 Magic Defense, +1 Damage Reduction, +3 MP Recovery, and +50 Max HP. Rewards are distributed during the regular maintenance following the achievement. With many servers yet to see a level 50, all eyes are on who will be next.

The God-tier Consultation Office to solve your queries

Q. Can't I use offline play for my squad characters?
A. Offline play is supported for only one character.

Offline play is an efficient system where your character continues to hunt even after you log out. However, players who have raised a second character via squad mode after hitting level 40 often wonder if it works for both. To answer bluntly: it only supports one. If you use offline play, any other character summoned via squad mode will be deactivated. Keep this in mind when using both systems simultaneously.

Q. The materials for the event rare armour chest are too expensive.
A. Replace 'High-grade Iron' with other types.

Completing the Sol: Enchant event quest chain grants you a Rare Armour Supply Blueprint (Event), which can be used to craft a Rare Armour Selection Chest (Event). The catch? The sub-material, High-grade Iron, is absurdly expensive, currently fetching 230-250 Diamonds on top-tier servers—a heavy burden for the average player.

So, what’s the move? The solution is to substitute the High-grade Iron. When you click on High-grade Iron in the crafting menu, you’ll see a 'substitute' icon. Clicking this allows you to swap it for High-grade Leather, Cloth, Wood, or Gems. Excluding Gems, the others are currently half the price of Iron—around 100-130 Diamonds—so use them to your advantage.

Alternatively, if you want to save even more Diamonds, you can spend about 250,000 Nine to craft Mid-grade Leather, Wood, or Cloth into High-grade versions. Or, spend 750,000 Nine to promote materials from Normal to Mid to High-grade. Of course, prices fluctuate constantly, so the cheapest method changes. Always check your server’s exchange prices before you start crafting.

This week's New (God) events

Armour/Accessory Selection Chest Crafting Event

Sol: Enchant previously stated in their developer notes that they would diversify the use of Nine and Nine Cores to ensure the economy remains fun. Starting on the 24th, they launched a limited-time crafting event. This event lets you use Nine Cores to attempt to craft Rare/Hero-grade armour and accessory selection chests. They plan to run similar events periodically.

Boss monster spawn rate UP!

Field bosses in Sol: Enchant spawn at set times, but since it’s based on a probability, you often walk away empty-handed. To encourage more challenges and reward opportunities, Netmarble is running a Boss Spawn Rate UP! event. Running until the regular maintenance on July 22nd, bosses like Mandragora, Lich Mage, Ragna, Kalita, Valtaros, Thorn Turtle, and Skoll will have a 100% spawn rate, while Naga, Mogras, Cyclops, Specter, Lycan, Phantom Ariel, Ogre Chief, Harpy Queen, and Erin will spawn at a 50% rate. Get out there and hunt for some loot.
