The August 12 update for Sol: Enchant has arrived, bringing with it the new 'Hellfire Sanctuary' dungeon, two fresh field bosses, and the 'Midsummer Forest' event dungeon. They’ve also tweaked the hunting ground balance in the Caltheon region. Curious about what’s been shaking up the official community this past week? Weekly Forum Highlight is here to break it down for you.

News for the Divine

New Dungeon: 'Hellfire Sanctuary' Added

Sol: Enchant has introduced the Hellfire Sanctuary, a special dungeon accessible to level 53 characters. You get two hours of base entry time daily, which resets at 7:00 AM. If you’re feeling particularly masochistic, you can extend your stay up to 24 hours using a Hellfire Sanctuary Charging Stone (1 hour).

The dungeon is crawling with powerful undead-type monsters. Slaying them gives you a chance to snag Rare Accessory Selection Boxes or Equipment Enhancement Scrolls (Normal/Divine/Cursed). Like the Sanctuary of the Celestial Palace added in the previous update, this is an 'accident-free' zone where PvP is disabled.

Two New Field Bosses Arrive

Let’s be honest: players are growing stronger, and the existing bosses were starting to look a bit like pushovers. To bring back some actual tension, two new bosses have been added: Silas in the Undead Forest and Astaroth on the 3rd floor of the Artaron Temple. Both spawn daily at 12:00 AM.

Silas is an undead type, so bring weapons with undead damage bonuses to make short work of the boss. Astaroth, on the other hand, dishes out punishing magic attacks and lethal debuffs, so you’ll want to be thoroughly prepared.Taking them down yields rewards like Astaroth’s Ring, Silas’s Gloves, and the Seal of Sealing. The latter is a collection item; complete the set to enjoy permanent stat boosts.

Caltheon Region Balance Adjustment

The team has overhauled the balance and drop tables for hunting grounds beyond Hyde Swamp. Some areas that were arguably overtuned have been nerfed to make grinding smoother, and the loot tables have been adjusted accordingly. Notably, several top-tier hunting grounds now offer a higher chance of dropping Legendary and Hero-grade gear.

Specifically, Legendary and Hero items have been added to the Shadow Altar, Beast Pass, Dragon Valley, and Dragon Canyon. Meanwhile, the Orc Fortress and Orc Base have seen their monster damage reduced and Nine Shards added to the loot pool. It’s a solid set of changes that should give players fresh goals to chase.

Q&A for the Divine

Q. Where can I get Guild Raid Summoning Stones?
A. Purchase them from the Guild Merchant NPC.

Many of you have been asking how to summon bosses for the guild raids. Previously, these stones were a rare drop from Guild Supply Boxes, which you could buy after hitting guild level 8. Frankly, the drop rates were abysmal.

To make boss encounters more accessible, the August 12 update added these stones directly to the NPC shop. Guild leaders and deputy leaders can purchase them once per week. The Erin Summoning Stone costs 2 million Nine (requires guild level 8), while the Black Sun Raziel stone costs 3 million Nine (requires guild level 10).

Q. I want to blacklist a specific player.
A. Use the personal watch system.

It’s a common frustration in PvP—you want to keep an eye on a specific nuisance. Since this was previously impossible, the developers finally added a community tracking feature in the August 12 update.

Just head to the [Watch] menu, search for the player's name, and add them. When they log in, you’ll get a notification in the chat, and their icon will appear on your mini-map if they get close. It’s a great way to avoid the stress of random PKs and focus on your farming.

Note that Research and Trait Stones can be moved via your storage.
